"Could it be that the strange fire is hidden in the magma?"

Chapter 71: Magma Ocean

When Xiao Yan realized that there was a possibility of strange fire in the magma he was looking for, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart. However, he did not immediately go to find the magma land. After his condition returned to normal, he returned to the small village and picked up Qing Lin first.

Xiao Yan originally wanted to go to Stone Desert City to find his two brothers and leave behind some martial arts and fighting skills. However, because he found traces of the strange fire, he decisively changed his plan. As for Qing Lin, Worried about what would happen to her there alone.

However, it turns out that the folk customs in this life are relatively simple. If it were Xiao Yan's previous life, a group of refugees would most likely stew her as a two-legged sheep when they met a little girl. But here, because Qing Lin was saved Xiao Yan brought people from the entire village, so the survivors also respected her, but Qing Lin was a little uncomfortable with it.

Seeing Xiao Yan return safely, Qing Lin also breathed a sigh of relief, because she had just sensed an aura more powerful than Mobas appearing around Stone Desert City, so she had been praying for Xiao Yan's safety until just now. , of course, she didn't know that the powerful aura was Queen Medusa, but she could barely sense the other party's existence with the help of the snake-man bloodline and the special abilities of the green snake's three-flowered pupils.

Because it was getting late, Xiao Yan chose to rest in that small village for a night. During the process of meditating and practicing, his fighting spirit cultivation also naturally reached the level of the Three-Star Fighting King.

Xiao Yan did not have any surprises about this breakthrough. The hard training in the desert during this period had already made his strength reach the peak of the two-star Dou Wang. As long as he concentrated on practicing for a few more days, he would be able to break through. The previous battle with Queen Medusa had pushed him to the limit of his body.

Although the consumption was huge, after recovering, the fighting spirit in his body became more powerful, which allowed him to break through to the three-star fighting king in advance. After all, fighting is always the fastest way to improve his strength. path.

After feeling that the aura in his body had become much more powerful, Xiao Yan also breathed out slowly. It is always pleasant to improve your strength anytime, let alone when you are about to find the strange fire. , in this case, if his strength can be improved by one point, his success rate in capturing the strange fire will also be increased by one point.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin bid farewell to the residents here and embarked on a journey to find the strange fire. According to the detection of soul power and the guidance of the map, that area should be in Stone Desert City. Because he had used the Xuan Zhong Ruler in battle before, Xiao Yan specially put it away to avoid being recognized by others and causing unnecessary trouble.

His two elder brothers also experienced in Shimo City, and it is said that they established a mercenary group and were very prosperous here. However, Xiao Yan had no intention of going to them. Their power had just started and they could not help. What about him? Not to mention the strange fire, the fewer people know about it, the better. It’s not too late to visit them after everything has settled.

Soon, Xiao Yan and Qing Lin arrived at their destination. It was a piece of sand that looked extremely flat. It was inconspicuous from the surface. It was no different from other desert areas. But with their excellent soul perception, However, Xiao Yan could clearly feel what kind of fiery energy was hidden under this sand.

"This is it." Xiao Yan looked at the sand in front of him and said slowly. Qing Lin beside him looked at the surrounding terrain and blinked in confusion. Is this the place that Master Xiao Yan is looking for? There doesn’t seem to be anything special, right?

"Don't look, the place we are looking for is not here, but underground." Xiao Yan patted Qing Lin's little head and said with a smile.

"Then I'll go find a shovel." Just as Qing Lin was about to leave, Xiao Yan pulled her back. He shook his head and said, "How long you can dig with a shovel is up to your young master. .”

He stretched out his arms, hugged Qing Lin into his arms, and then gently stepped on the ground with the soles of his feet. The next moment, a huge pothole appeared where the two of them were standing, and they fell down. Fortunately, the sky was dark It was just dawn, and there were no pedestrians around this place. Otherwise, the sudden disappearance of these two children would definitely attract the attention of many people.

The pothole did not last long before it was buried again by the sand and gravel brought by the strong wind. From the surface, no one could tell that there had been a pothole here. This scene was naturally Xiao Yan's use of the power of strange fire. He used a similar method to create a tunnel in the Scorpio Tomb in the Izumo Empire.

The method is very simple. Concentrate the power of the alien fire on the soles of your feet, use the terrifying high temperature of the alien fire itself to instantly melt the ground, and then use fighting energy to protect your body to avoid being scratched by stones, thus forcibly burning a passage to the ground. , as for whether any unlucky person will fall into this, that is not something Xiao Yan can consider.

The falling process did not last for a few minutes. When the light appeared again, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a hot breath coming towards his face. It turned out that the place he chose happened to be underneath the magma, and the passage he opened, The end is just above the magma.

As they were about to fall into the lava, Qing Lin's originally flushed face turned pale. At the same time, Xiao Yan quickly spread his battle spirit wings behind him. He held Qing Lin and flew to a nearby rock. He then put her down and asked, "Qing Lin, are you okay?"

"Master Xiao Yan, I'm fine." Qing Lin shook her head. She looked at the lava ocean in front of her that could barely see the border, and a shocked expression appeared on her face. She didn't expect that in the desert, there were still Hidden is such a spectacular underground magma world...

"The fire attribute energy here is many times richer than the outside world." Xiao Yan looked at the fiery red magma in front of him, with a look of joy in his eyes. He could feel that the Fen Jue in his body started to operate automatically when it entered. Get up, if he practices here, his strength will improve faster!

Moreover, with the help of the power of the magma ocean, he can also formally cultivate the Little Glazed Golden Body. In other words, even if there is no strange fire here, staying here is a sure profit for him, not to mention, after coming in At that moment, Xiao Yan felt the Nine Nether Phantom Fire in his body suddenly jump. Such a scene could only appear when encountering something related to the strange fire!

In other words, there are indeed traces of strange fire in this magma world!

Chapter 72: Two-headed Fire Snake

"Qing Lin, stay here and don't move. I'll go down and take a look." After noticing the Nine Nether Fantasy Demon Fire's induction of the strange fire, Xiao Yan also patted Qing Lin's shoulder and prepared to go down to find out, but just before At this time, Qing Lin took his hand and said, "Master, be careful! There seems to be something in the magma!"

"I know, don't worry, I can deal with it." Xiao Yan smiled slightly. What Qing Lin could feel, he could naturally feel it with his soul power comparable to a seventh-grade alchemist.

As early as when they entered here, he sensed that there was a fourth-level monster hidden under the magma. However, he thought that the thing hidden in the magma should be related to snakes, and it might even be a snake-like monster. Otherwise, with Qinglin, Its strength is simply unable to detect its existence.

"Since it is related to snakes, it should be controlled by the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, right?" Xiao Yan licked his lips. If there is a snake monster under the magma, then the blue-scaled Green Snake Three Flower Pupils can forcibly sign a contract with it. Contract, after all, is the nemesis of most snakes in the world.

Xiao Yan naturally looked down upon the fourth-rank magical beast, but this kind of strength was enough to be used as a bodyguard for Qing Lin. This way, if he encountered some enemies, he would not have to distract himself to take care of Qing Lin. Moreover, if he could really subdue it, it would be like having a native of the magma to help him, and finding the strange fire would naturally be twice as easy with half the effort.

After appeasing Qing Lin, Xiao Yan spread his fighting spirit wings and flew over the magma. Although the monster swimming under the magma was well hidden, such a situation naturally could not be concealed. The soul state was already there. When Xiao Yan reached the late stage of the mortal realm, he was suspended above the magma, pretending to be looking for something, waiting for the surprise attack from the monster below.

Although he could also go deep into the magma to beat the guy, but it would take some effort and be troublesome, so he simply stayed where he was and used himself as bait to lure the snake out of the hole.

Just as he was suspended like this for nearly ten minutes, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the originally calm magma lake below, and countless pillars of magma fire splashed into the sky. Then, a huge creature emerged from the magma. It popped up from underneath and bit Xiao Yan away.

This sudden change did not cause any change in Xiao Yan's expression. After he easily dodged the bite of the red creature, he actually folded his fighting spirit wings and fell downwards. Just when Qing Lin thought When Xiao Yan would be swallowed by the magma, his body was quietly suspended above the magma, as if he was standing on the magma.

Xiao Yan's seemingly relaxed appearance is something that even the strong Dou Emperor cannot do. Only the strong Dou Zong who can walk in the air can do it. The reason why Xiao Yan is able to Walking on the magma naturally relies on the body fighting skill he has cultivated - Youyan Lingxiao Step.

Although Xiao Yan has not yet mastered the Youyan Lingxiao Step and is unable to move freely in the magma, but with this fighting skill, it is more than enough to walk on the surface of the magma, and when the monster saw Xiao Yan Yan was surprised that he could actually move on top of magma, and was staring at Xiao Yan warily.

Just as Xiao Yan expected, this huge creature that emerged from the bottom of the magma was a snake-like monster. The only difference was that it was different from ordinary snake-like monsters in that it actually had two heads, combined with its Xiao Yan quickly recognized the origin of this magical beast due to its appearance and distinctive features.

"It turns out to be a two-headed fire snake. No wonder it can survive under the magma." Xiao Yan took out the Xuanzhong ruler from the ring and looked at the two-headed fire snake waiting in formation. The corners of his mouth raised slightly. This kind of monster usually It grows in extremely hot places and can swallow magma. It is precisely because of this special ability that it lives in magma.

Although the two-headed fire spirit snake was only a first-order monster when it was born, if by chance, it can evolve to a sixth-order monster. Like the two-headed fire spirit snake in front of Xiao Yan, judging from its aura, it can evolve into a sixth-order monster. It has just entered the fourth level, but if it is given a few more decades, it will definitely be able to break through to the sixth level monster.

Moreover, due to the factors of the terrain and environment, the power that the Double-headed Fire Spirit Snake can exert here will be even more powerful. Although it is only a fourth-level monster now, relying on this magma zone, it is enough to compete with the real King of Fighters. To contend with!

However, what the two-headed fire spirit snake doesn't know is that the magma here not only brings bonuses to it, but also has a considerable bonus to Xiao Yan, and the bonus is even more terrifying than it! The automatic operation of the Burning Jue technique allows Xiao Yan to maintain peak condition at any time, without having to worry about the consumption of fighting energy.

"Hiss!" The hunting instinct finally defeated the inner uneasiness. After the two-headed fire spirit snake raised its head to the sky and hissed, it took the lead in launching an attack. I saw it swiping its tail, and its huge tail directed towards Xiao with a terrifying strong wind. Yan smashed it hard.

Facing the attack of the two-headed fire spirit snake, Xiao Yan refused to dodge. He waved the Xuanzhong Ruler at will to block the iron tail of the two-headed fire spirit snake, and clenched his other hand into a fist. , punched in the air, and the purple-black energy condensed into a huge fist in mid-air. Before the two-headed fire spirit snake could react, it hit the head of the two-headed fire spirit snake with just one punch. , beating it until its scales cracked and blood dripped.

With a move of Xiao Yan's palm, the blood that was about to drip into the magma was suspended in the air, and was finally put into a jade bottle under his tug. This guy is also a fire-attributed monster, so naturally its blood cannot be wasted. .

Under the severe pain, the two-headed fire spirit snake also made a painful scream. It stared at the guy who caused huge damage to it. A deep red flame suddenly rose above its body, and then it opened at the same time. The two giant mouths actually spurted out countless pillars of blazing magma light.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan also raised his brows slightly. This crimson flame should be the beast fire in the body of the two-headed fire spirit snake. Although it is only the fourth-level beast fire, it can exert no less power in the magma land. Compared with the power of the fifth-level beast fire, it is a pity that no matter how powerful the beast fire is, there is still a substantial gap between it and the alien fire. Let alone only the fourth and fifth levels, even the ninth-level beast fire is weak in front of the alien fire. It's just a younger brother. Xiao Yan just summoned the Nine Nether Demon Fire, and the crimson flames on the double-headed fire spirit snake became much dimmed.

As for those magma light pillars, Xiao Yan paid no attention to them. He stepped on the magma and used the You Yan Lingxiao Step that he had already completed to the extreme. He shuttled through those seemingly fierce magma light pillars, and then he swept out with one foot. , the powerful force actually directly knocked the two-headed fire spirit snake out of the magma, and finally hit Qinglin hard in front of him.

Chapter 73: Queen Medusa Reappears

The two-headed fire spirit snake that was smashed in front of Qinglin looked a little dying. The strong wind carried by Xiao Yan's blow was far beyond what it could bear. Just one blow had already caused it to be seriously injured. It just wanted to raise its head. He came to make a final struggle, but Xiao Yan had already arrived in front of it, stepped on one of its heads, and pressed it down again, while its other head was held up by the Xuan Zhong Ruler. Standing still, not daring to make any move.

This battle can be said to be one-sided. Xiao Yan easily defeated the two-headed fire spirit snake without even using an offensive fighting skill during the whole process, but this is normal. With his strength as a three-star fighting king, if he still had to fight hard to deal with such a beast, he might as well have killed him with a piece of tofu.

"Young master is so powerful!" Seeing Xiao Yan defeat such a powerful monster with three punches and two kicks, Qinglin also let out a burst of cheers. Xiao Yan looked at the two-headed fire spirit snake that was beaten half to death and suddenly laughed. He smiled and said, "Qinglin, do you want a pet?"

"Of course!" Qing Lin nodded excitedly, but soon she realized what Xiao Yan was going to say and couldn't help but ask: "Master Xiao Yan, what do you mean..."

"This big guy will be given to you as a pet." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Ah?" Qing Lin looked at the two-headed fire spirit snake that was beaten to the ground by Xiao Yan, and swallowed subconsciously. How should I put it... Having such a large monster as a pet is quite cool, but the key is this There's no way a level monster would listen to her, right?

"Don't be afraid, Qinglin, the young master will not lie to you." Xiao Yan said softly, "Concentrate and look into this guy's eyes seriously."

There was a look of ridicule in the eyes of the two-headed fire spirit snake. This despicable human actually wanted to keep him as a pet, and also let such a weak girl do it? Humph, even if I starve to death, die in the Tagore Desert, or jump off the Stone Desert City, there is absolutely no way I can succumb to a human being!

Eh? Why are this girl's eyes green?

Under Xiao Yan's guidance, Qing Lin also stared at the two-headed fire spirit snake attentively. After she concentrated, the three small green dots originally hidden in her eyes also lit up with a strange light. When the strange light appeared, the three small dots turned into three green flowers.

"The blue snake and three flower pupils... are indeed the most amazing pupils in the world." Looking at this strange scene, Xiao Yan murmured softly. When the strange flowers appeared in Qinglin's eyes, even Xiao Yan also I felt a little dazed, let alone others.

It's just that Qing Lin is still young now. If he wants to use the green snake three-flowered pupil, under normal circumstances, it can only be triggered when he is very emotional, such as when his life is in danger. However, Xiao Yan, as a peak fighting saint, can't do it. There has been some research in this area, and it is natural to know that this effect can also be triggered if the spirit is highly concentrated.

In the future, when Qinglin's strength increases, he won't have to worry about using the Three Flowers of the Green Snake more often. The Lord of the Heavenly Snake Palace that Xiao Yan met in his previous life can activate the Three Flowers of the Green Snake in an instant. The pupil can force a person's soul out of the body. He was able to defeat her in the first place because he relied on the annihilating pupil to directly destroy her eyes. Otherwise, it is not certain who will win.

After the green snake's three-flower pupils were officially activated, a piece of green light was projected from her eyes and fell on the double-headed fire spirit snake. After being illuminated by the light, the double-headed fire spirit snake It also stopped struggling, its eyes that were originally full of ferocity became much calmer, and there were two more green flower marks on its forehead.

The appearance of these two marks also meant that the contract between the Green Snake and the Three Flower Pupils was successfully signed. When the light disappeared, Qinglin's body couldn't hold on and fell straight to the ground. Fortunately, Xiao Yan quickly appeared behind her and stuffed a long-prepared pill into Qing Lin's mouth.

Because it was the first time to use the Blue Snake Three Flower Pupils, and the Qinglin itself was too weak, this phenomenon of overdraft of soul power occurred. As long as I got older and became more proficient, it would be fine, and I left. The two-headed fire spirit snake suppressed by Xiao Yan did not attack immediately, but stayed in place quietly.

The pill that Xiao Yan fed to Qing Lin was of great benefit in restoring his soul power. Therefore, Qing Lin, who had fallen into a coma due to overdraft of his soul power, quickly woke up, and his somewhat pale cheeks also showed signs of With a touch of rosy color, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Yan who was hugging her, and her face became even crimson.

"How do you feel now?" Xiao Yan pinched Qing Lin's smooth little face and asked with a smile, "Can you control this big guy?"

"Yes." Qinglin nodded. She looked at the two-headed fire spirit snake with a flattering look in her eyes, and felt a little strange in her heart, "I seem to know what this monster is thinking, just like I It’s like a strange connection has been established between it, Master, what’s going on?”

Although she doesn't have much experience, she has heard people mention that there is no contract in Dou Qi Continent that can force Warcraft to obey her orders. Otherwise, the auction house would have held such a large-scale Warcraft auction long ago, but the scene now is What's going on?

"This is your innate talent." Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Your eyes are the legendary green snake three-flower pupil, which is the nemesis of snakes and monsters in the world, and that big guy is no exception. "

"Blue Snake Three Flower Eyes?" Qing Lin couldn't help but open her mouth. She had never thought that she actually had such a special ability. Soon, the surprise on her face disappeared and was replaced by a kind of joy. Ruo Kuang said, "So, I will have the strength to protect the young master in the future!"

"Yes, I will have to ask Qing Lin to protect me from now on." Xiao Yan said with a smile. Although with his current strength, he does not need a fourth-level magic beast to protect him, but as a child... he shouldn't be too harsh. In order to avoid making the little girl sad, not to mention that this green snake with three flower pupils has great potential and can indeed help him a lot in the days to come.

"Master Xiao Yan, it said it knows where the strange fire is." Qing Lin pointed at the two-headed fire spirit snake in front of her and whispered, but before she could say the specific location, Xiao Yan covered her mouth, making a silent gesture.

After Qing Lin nodded to show that he understood, Xiao Yan let go of his hand, held the Xuan Zhong Ruler with his backhand, and slowly raised his head. He looked at the passage above that he had opened by himself, and said with a smile: " After looking there for so long, it’s time to come out, right? It’s not your style to hide your head and show your tail, Queen Medusa.”

Chapter 74: Cooperation

"Queen Medusa?" Upon hearing this name, the originally cheerful little green-skinned face suddenly turned pale. For people living near the desert, there is no human being who is not attracted by the evil name of Queen Medusa. Feeling fear, Qing Lin was no exception. Even though she had some snake-man blood in her body, her body couldn't stop trembling after hearing Xiao Yan's words.

"Your perception is really sharp." After Xiao Yan revealed his existence, an enchanting figure appeared from the passage. She looked at the Xuan Zhong Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand and said lightly: " You are the guy who fought with me in Stone Desert City before, right? Unexpectedly, you are still a child."

In the previous battle in Stone Desert City, Queen Medusa was once attracted by this thick black ruler. In addition, the shape of the black ruler is extremely weird. It is difficult to forget it once you take a look at it. Therefore, when Medusa When the Queen saw the Xuan Zhong Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand, she naturally recognized him.

But when she recognized Xiao Yan, Queen Medusa was actually very surprised. From the appearance, Xiao Yan's age was definitely no more than twelve years old. At this age, most people would fight. The Qi stage is spinning, but this little guy has actually reached the realm of Dou Wang?

This kind of talent is indeed a bit appalling. If he is allowed to grow smoothly...

"It seems that the queen's injury is not healed yet?" Xiao Yan stared at Queen Medusa, who was still calm on the surface, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

It had only been one night since yesterday's battle. In that battle, Queen Medusa took a Mountain Seal and suffered serious injuries. I believe she will never recover so easily. After all, the Snake Tribe There is no alchemist here, and even if there were, the level would not be that high.

But Xiao Yan is different. Although he also suffered some injuries, he is a senior alchemist. Under the treatment of those pills, most of his injuries have actually recovered. With the breakthrough of one star, this time At that time, his condition was already better than the peak last night!

Coupled with the bonus of the geographical environment here, fighting Queen Medusa will definitely not be as difficult as last night.

Just as Xiao Yan was thinking about the status of himself and Queen Medusa, Queen Medusa was also thinking about whether to completely deal with Xiao Yan here. After all, this guy's talent is too terrifying. If he really wants to deal with snakes As for the human race, the snake tribe in the future will definitely not be able to resist him. However, this guy's strength cannot be underestimated. If there is a fight, he is not sure to kill him.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed Qing Lin who was huddled behind Xiao Yan, looking a little scared. As the queen of the snake people, she could naturally sense the snake blood in the latter. Suddenly, her face changed. She also became colder, because she vaguely remembered that Qing Lin used the term "young master" to address Xiao Yan just now.

"I didn't expect you would dare to enslave a woman from my Snake Tribe. You are really looking for death!" Queen Medusa decisively condensed the colorful sword. Because the women from the Snake Tribe are quite charming, humans often rob snakes. Human women are taken as slaves.

Although Qing Lin did not have the appearance of the snake people, the blood of the snake people in her body made Queen Medusa regard her as a member of the snake people. Qing Lin's name for Xiao Yan naturally reminded her of This was what made her so angry.

Feeling the powerful energy on the surface of Queen Medusa's body, Xiao Yan also frowned slightly. Just when he was about to use the Three Mysteries of Heavenly Fire to respond to the enemy, Qinglin suddenly stood in front of him, "That's not the case! Xiao Yan Master did not enslave me! If Master Xiao Yan had not saved me, I would have died long ago. I volunteered to be his servant because I was grateful to Master Xiao Yan!"

"Huh?" After hearing Qing Lin's words, Queen Medusa, who was originally furious and ready to kill, was stunned. She looked at Qing Lin, hesitated, and asked, "He saved you. ?”

"Yes, and Master Xiao Yan is very good to me, just like a sister. He has never enslaved me to do anything." Although he was so afraid of Queen Medusa that his body could not stop trembling, but when he heard her slandering him like this Young Master, I don’t know where Qing Lin got the courage to jump out and confront Queen Medusa. At this time, the momentum subsided, and she returned to her original timid appearance, and hid behind Xiao Yan again.

"Xiao Yan? Isn't your name Yan Xiao?" Queen Medusa withdrew her long sword. She looked at Xiao Yan and chanted these two names repeatedly, "Xiao Yan... Yan Xiao... your fake name is too bad." Isn’t it too perfunctory?”

"It's just a name." Xiao Yan noticed that Queen Medusa's murderous aura was fading, and he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the little girl Qing Lin would become an opportunity for negotiations between them. Although Xiao Yan was not afraid of Medusa. Queen, but no matter what, the other party is also at the peak level of Dou Huang, which is more or less difficult. If we can avoid fighting, it is always good.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has traveled thousands of miles to come to such a small place, and she must have come here for the strange fire, right?" Xiao Yan said calmly.

"You are very smart." Queen Medusa nodded. "Thanks to you for leading the way. Otherwise, it would probably take me a few more years to find this place."

“Tsk, I didn’t expect that someone would almost take advantage of me.” Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, “Since our targets are both strange fires, how about we cooperate?”
