Battle Through the Heavens: It turns out I'm actually the patriarch of the Xiao family!

Chapter 59 A brutal beating of the two-headed fire spirit snake

In the pitch-black passage, Xiao Chen held Qing Lin tightly in his arms.

Qinglin kept her eyes tightly closed, her small hands clutching Xiao Chen's shirt, the whistling wind in her ears and the increasingly intense heat coming from below.

"This level of popularity is undeniable."

Xiao Chen's heart stirred slightly.

He could clearly feel that the air around him was becoming increasingly dry and scorching, as if he were in the mouth of a giant furnace.

The hissing sound mixed in with the wind was a faint steaming sound coming from deep below.

The descent lasted for about half a cup of tea's time before the speed finally began to slow down.

boom! boom! boom!

Several dull thuds echoed as the mercenary elites who had followed closely behind jumped down.

Their landings were far less graceful and elegant than Xiao Chen's; some stumbled, some tumbled, and they struggled to get up, covered in dust and dirt.

It was only because Xiao Jin intervened that they were able to make it this far; otherwise, they wouldn't have made it this far.

The fire elemental energy here is extremely violent.

What appeared before them was a fiery red world.

Apart from Xiao Chen and Xiao Jin, everyone else was utterly shocked.

A massive underground cavern suddenly unfolded before our eyes, its vastness far exceeding our imagination, almost filling the limits of our vision.

Below, there was a boundless sea of ​​lava, the crimson magma flowing slowly and heavily like viscous blood, emitting a low, unsettling, viscous sound.

The air was thick with the stench of sulfur, so hot that every breath felt like swallowing scalding sand, the intense heat threatening to distort the very fabric of space.

"I never imagined that such a terrifying place would be hidden underground outside of Stone Desert City."

"Yes, what a magnificent underground world of magma!"

Although Xiao Jin provided protection for these people, it only prevented them from dying.

The intense heat around them still made them feel hot all over.

The fire element here is significantly hotter and more violent than in the passage.

"Senior, there seems to be something hidden inside the magma—"

At this moment, Qinglin suddenly whispered.

Her emerald green eyes were fixed on the endless expanse of fiery red lava.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the mercenary group members behind them were slightly taken aback. They quickly scanned the lava with their eyes, but found no other objects besides some boulders.

"Qinglin, your feeling is correct." Xiao Chen smiled slightly.

"I can sense a faint, hidden aura about it—it's very strong—"

Qinglin stared intently at a certain spot in the churning lava, his emerald eyes gleaming with a faint light, as if he could see through the lava and discern something mysterious hidden beneath.

"There's something alive?" The mercenary group members looked surprised.

How could there be living things in such molten lava that is hot enough to melt steel?

This was truly unbelievable to them.

"Um."

"Its strength is somewhat greater than Rob of the Sand Mercenary Group," Qinglin said softly, gesturing with her small hand.

"Qinglin is amazing, sensing things so clearly," Xiao Chen praised.

Behind them, the mercenary group members looked at each other in bewilderment.

"You can cultivate here. Don't go any further." Turning around, Xiao Chen gave the mercenary group members an order.

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Jin on his shoulder.

Little Gold nodded gently, opened its mouth, and spat out a beam of golden light that shot into a certain spot in the magma.

next moment.

boom!

A muffled boom suddenly echoed from the calm magma below, and countless streams of scorching magma shot out violently.

Amidst the spray of lava, a massive, mysterious creature suddenly burst forth from the magma, charging towards Xiao Chen and the others with lightning speed.

The mercenary group members stared wide-eyed at the mysterious creature.

It was a serpentine magical beast, extremely long, probably at least four or five zhang long by a rough estimate.

The monster was entirely fiery red, and from a distance, it looked like a perfectly round piece of fire jade.

Its body surface was covered with palm-sized red scales, and what shocked everyone the most was that this monster actually had two heads!

At the forked point of the long neck, two ferocious heads stared with huge diamond-shaped eyes, filled with a violent and bloodthirsty killing intent.

"This is a two-headed fire spirit serpent. It usually grows in extremely hot places and lives by devouring magma. It has great potential for evolution. When it is born, it is only a first-order magical beast. If it has enough luck, it may be able to evolve into a sixth-order magical beast that can be compared with a Dou Huang powerhouse." Looking at the two-headed serpent churning in the lava lake, Xiao Chen explained with a faint smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two enormous heads of the two-headed serpent suddenly swung around, and a pillar of scorching magma, like a ferocious fire dragon, drew a deadly arc in mid-air and shot straight toward them.

Just as the mercenary group members were about to turn and run away, Xiao Chen slowly raised his palm and then clenched it tightly.

As Xiao Chen clenched his fist, a wave of azure energy emanated from his palm, instantly forming an azure energy shield in front of him.

A column of magma shot out and struck the energy shield, then exploded, with scattered magma slowly flowing down the shield.

"hiss!"

With its attack thwarted, the Fire Serpent's fury intensified, and it lashed out with its massive tail, slamming it fiercely against the energy shield at the entrance of the passage.

Xiao Chen wasn't going to tolerate it. He stepped into the void and his figure appeared almost instantly above the Fire Spirit Serpent's head.

He raised his fist and slammed it down hard, accompanied by a fierce whooshing sound. Azure battle qi swirled around it, forming a huge azure arc of electricity that looked extremely dazzling.

"Bang!"

The heavy punch landed, giving the Fire Serpent no chance to react, and slammed into its head.

Instantly, the hard, fiery red scales burst open.

Strands of crimson blood seeped from the gaps in the scales, eventually dripping into the magma and vanishing into nothingness.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Suddenly struck on the head, the Fire Spirit Serpent let out a series of sharp hisses, its huge tail whipping wildly above its head.

Xiao Chen remained calm as he swiftly moved, the two-headed fire spirit snake unable to touch him at all.

Seeing this, the Fire Spirit Serpent suddenly raised its two huge heads, its huge diamond-shaped eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty ferocity, staring intently at Xiao Chen, who was constantly dodging in mid-air.

Its head suddenly swung, and a deep red flame slowly rose from its massive body.

Flames gradually rose and, after a short while, filled this small patch of land.

The deep red flames slowly rotated in mid-air, and at the center of the flames was Xiao Chen.

Standing still, Xiao Chen yawned as he looked at the massive flames around him; the temperature inside these flames was quite high.

In the distance, staring in disbelief at the crimson flames that almost filled the entire cavern, the mercenary group members and Qinglin couldn't help but gasp.

This level of combat—it's terrifying.

"boom!"

The crimson flames that filled the sky suddenly began to spin rapidly, and a violent howling sound echoed continuously throughout the vast cavern.

As the rotation intensified, the surrounding flames suddenly began to writhe, and a dozen two-headed fire spirit snakes, entirely condensed from fire energy, suddenly appeared within the flames.

These dozen or so two-headed fire spirit snakes were not much smaller than the main body.

Dozens of enormous eyes, gleaming with ferocity, stared intently at Xiao Chen, who stood motionless in the center.

After circling each other for a moment, they suddenly let out a shriek in unison, the sharp sound waves echoing continuously in the cave, extremely piercing.
