Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

Hai Bodong has a lot of inner monologues.

But he soon realized that his idea was completely unnecessary.

"Considering our cooperative relationship, I can let you keep it until you break through to the Dou Zong realm." Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "By then, you won't need this to maintain your human form anymore. You wouldn't want to let the snake-people steal a dispensable Dou weapon and make enemies with me, would you?"

Zhang Yuan could roughly guess what Medusa was thinking.

Once she breaks through to the Dou Zong level, she can fully transform into human form. There is absolutely no need for her to seize the bead and become enemies with him.

Moreover, she knew she couldn't take the Illusion Moon Pearl if she insisted on trying.

The only reason I wanted to keep them was so I could wear them a little longer.

Clearly, she was very happy with the red shoes and wanted to wear them as much as possible.

Since that's the case, Zhang Yuan actually wanted to make this happen, because in the future, whenever Medusa saw the shoes, she would think of him, and his image would inevitably appear in her mind.

This is similar to Yun Yun's relentless flirting when she lacked power.

"can."

Sure enough, this time Medusa didn't insist and readily agreed.

“Actually, as a partner, I have other sincerity to offer.” Zhang Yuan’s lips curled up as he tossed Medusa an ordinary storage ring.

The storage ring is valuable, but for a Dou Huang powerhouse, it's just a simple daily necessity, so it can't be associated with "sincerity".

Medusa wasn't stupid either; she immediately checked the contents of her storage ring, and a look of astonishment appeared on her cold, beautiful face.

Immediately, she put away the storage ring, and a stunningly beautiful smile bloomed on her face, a smile that would make even flowers blush with shame. She said, "I can feel your sincerity. You are truly exceptional among humans. You are the only man so far who has earned my recognition and admiration. I am somewhat looking forward to the promise you made to me back then."

The items inside the storage ring weren't particularly valuable; they were just various styles of red and gold shoes and dresses, all of which were only first or second-grade weapon crafts. They were all practice pieces made by Zhang Yuan when he was honing his weapon crafting skills.

Medusa liked these things very much, believing that they were "carefully" prepared by Zhang Yuan, which perfectly reflected his respect for people in his actions.

"I'm glad Your Majesty is pleased." Zhang Yuan readily accepted Medusa's approval.

Haibodong: "."

This kid is really something, he actually managed to get Queen Medusa under his thumb.

I must work my hardest.

"arrive!"

After leaving Desert City, the three flew all the way to Stone Desert City, and then flew to the southern area outside Stone Desert City. Finally, led by Medusa, they landed on a slightly sunken sandy area in the desert.

"The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is right here."

Medusa casually waved her hand, and the energy of heaven and earth transformed into a giant python that descended from the sky and burrowed into the ground, creating a hole about half a zhang in size.

"Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!?" Hai Bodong's pupils shrank.

He truly hadn't expected that Zhang Yuan and Medusa had come here with a specific purpose: to find the Strange Flame.

If some sixth- or seventh-grade, or even eighth-grade alchemists knew that there was a strange fire here, they would probably be tempted.

"Your Majesty, please lead the way. I will cover your retreat and provide light." Zhang Yuan gestured for them to proceed.

"What, are you afraid I'll set a trap for you, or deliberately leave danger to plot against you?" Medusa's expression turned cold, seemingly dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan's distrust.

Zhang Yuan wanted to say that everyone hadn't established any foundation of trust yet, and given the current relationship between the snake people and the human race, it was normal for him to have concerns.

However, it's not necessarily a bad thing when a woman, especially a strong and individualistic one, shows you sensitivity and eccentricity; it all depends on how you manage the situation.

"Your Majesty is too kind," Zhang Yuan said with a smile. "After entering this underground area, you will soon come to a fork in the road with more than a dozen entrances. If you choose the right direction and keep going forward, you will reach the top of a lava cave. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is under the lava and is guarded by a Dou Ling-level magical beast."

“This place holds no secrets from me. I have asked Your Majesty to lead the way simply because it is based on the principle of equality in trade. You are responsible for leading me to the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, that’s all.”

In fact, Zhang Yuan knew very well that the location of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was in the desert area south of Stone Desert City, and it was not far from Stone Desert City. The Desert Iron Mercenary Group could find the entrance after a few days of investigation.

With his spiritual realm-level soul power, finding this entrance would not be difficult; in fact, it would be quite easy.

The deal with Medusa was based solely on her evolved talents and the overall Snake-People race.

“You really know a lot.” Medusa’s expression softened slightly, and she pursed her lips as she said, “In that case, I will take you inside.”

After saying that, Medusa went into the cave, while Zhang Yuan released a Five Dragons Thunderfire and threw it to Hai Bodong.

The latter paused for a moment, then instinctively raised his hand to create an ice cage to trap the strange fire, and a large lantern appeared to illuminate the interior.

The three continued on their way and soon came to a place with more than a dozen cave entrances, each leading to a passage.

Medusa took the lead and entered one of the passages. Although Zhang Yuan didn't think she would do anything to scheme against him, he still immediately released his soul power to sense the surroundings and told Ling Ying to be careful at all times.

After entering a new passage, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, somewhat similar to the basement passage that Hai Bodong built in Mocheng, getting colder and colder as you went further.

But after a quarter of an hour, the cold suddenly disappeared, and a wave of heat swept over them, as if the three of them had suddenly entered another world.

"Such rich fire-attribute energy!" Hai Bodong exclaimed instinctively.

As an ice-attribute Dou Huang, he is also very sensitive to fire-attribute energy in the world.

As you continue down the passage, you can feel the surrounding fire elemental energy becoming increasingly intense, even turning violent and restless.

They walked to the end of the passage and looked down through the exit. A bright "new world" appeared before them.

It was a boundless sea of ​​fiery red lava, illuminating the entire cave. Huge bubbles would occasionally rise to the surface, bursting and releasing enormous fire energy that spread out more brilliantly than fireworks at night.

"There's actually a passage leading to such a magnificent underground magma world beneath the surface of Stone Desert City." Hai Bodong's eyes were filled with shock.

He had already created a layer of ice crystals around his body to cool down, which shows just how hot the place was.

“There doesn’t seem to be any strange fire here.” Hai Bodong said, his gaze sweeping across the lava.

“There’s none on the surface,” Zhang Yuan said with a slight smile. “We’ll have to go inside and search for it, beneath the magma.”

"Go in?" Hai Bodong's lips twitched.

If the scene outside the strange fire is this terrifying, how could the strange fire itself be so terrifying?

Even after regaining his Douhuang strength, he wasn't confident enough to enter the magma to find the strange fire, let alone take it away.

Seeing that Medusa's expression remained normal, he knew that Zhang Yuan was not talking nonsense, and he began to have second thoughts.

But before he could make an excuse, Zhang Yuan cut off his escape route with one sentence: "Don't even think about waiting here. The Ice Emperor will come in handy at this time."

“Not bad.” Medusa said approvingly, “Although we can enter safely, this high temperature is annoying. It’s perfect to use Haibodong’s power to cool down.”

Haibodong: "."

He suddenly understood why Zhang Yuan, after using Medusa to remove the seal on him, immediately brought him along to collect the rare and precious artifact, the Strange Fire.

It turns out he was a cooling-off tool.

These two scoundrels—I mean, this man and woman—are truly a perfect match.

"Your Majesty, please lift the seal," Zhang Yuan said.

There is an energy membrane at this exit, which carries the power to isolate energy fluctuations.

As expected, Medusa came to set this up to prevent others from accidentally discovering the existence of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

"Let's go." Medusa extended a finger and gently beckoned, and a large purple-blue energy net suddenly appeared above the lava, which then shattered and dissipated into energy.

Hai Bodong walked forward, preparing to create an ice sphere to surround the three of them, when his gaze suddenly sharpened and he said, "There seems to be something inside that magma?"

"Don't worry about it, it's just a fourth-tier two-headed fire spirit snake." Zhang Yuan said calmly, "With Her Majesty the Queen here, it wouldn't dare to attack us."

Both being "snakes," Medusa, at the peak of the Douhuang realm, has an absolute advantage over the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent in terms of bloodline.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong no longer hesitated. He created a giant ice ball to envelop the three of them, and then took off into the air with wings formed from his fighting spirit.

Zhang Yuan followed Medusa's example, with the former even transforming his battle aura into armor and filling it with the power of the Five Dragon Thunderfire to ensure that he wouldn't be injured even if the ice ball accidentally shattered.

The latter calmly gave directions, seemingly unafraid of any unexpected events.

Inside the cave, the temperature was frighteningly high, but Zhang Yuan and his two companions, being inside the ice sphere, didn't really feel it.

Bubbles occasionally appear on the surface of the magma. After they break apart, they are colorful and vibrant, but they also release a toxic mist that cannot penetrate the ice sphere.

After flying for about half an incense stick's time, a huge lava pool appeared in front of the three of them, creating a huge lava lake. The rich fire-attribute energy was almost tangible, and many of the condensed fiery red lava pillars looked like pieces of ore.

"This is the spot. Let's begin the descent." Medusa's tone turned serious.

Hai Bodong immediately did as instructed, maneuvering the ice ball into the lava.

The magma world is a sea of ​​fire, with undercurrents surging, and every now and then, fierce magma bursts from a certain direction, hitting the ice ball.

However, with Zhang Yuan acting as a "radar," Hai Bodong was able to focus intently and successfully avoid the attacks from the undercurrents each time. Otherwise, if he had to withstand them several times, the consumption of his battle qi would have been exhausting even for a Dou Huang level expert.

After another 15 minutes of diving, Zhang Yuan and the other two could clearly feel the temperature outside the ice puck increasing exponentially. Hai Bodong broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like he was courting death.

Being so deep in the magma, even the slightest mistake could kill him, a powerful Dou Huang.

"If we cannot find the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame within a quarter of an hour, we must return immediately," Hai Bodong said.

If they don't return within another 15 minutes, the fighting spirit he has left won't be enough for them to get back.

As for mobilizing external energy, does this magma contain ice-attribute energy?

Moreover, the deeper he dives, the more fighting spirit he consumes to maintain the ice hockey puck, and he might not even be able to hold on for half an hour.

"No way, you can't handle this?" Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Medusa's face showed a hint of disdain: "Terrible."

Haibodong: "."

You two are a perfect match, really!

Chapter 120 Moving the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame! Little Flame is shocked for a century.

You guys are so arrogant.

Why aren't you two here?

You're just talking without understanding the situation.

Hai Bodong inwardly grumbled, but dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.

One is his employer, and the other is his nightmare. He can't beat either of them. To be honest, isn't he just asking for trouble?

"Don't panic!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly reached out a hand and placed it on Hai Bodong, saying calmly, "I can replenish your mana if you're lacking it."
