章 33: Chapter 33: Entering the Bottom of the Magma
The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent surrendered.
At this moment, its already weak aura was almost on the verge of extinction. If not for part of its body submerged in the magma, it might have already perished.
It looked at the two small humans before it with fear, submission, and a hint of flattery in its four snake eyes...
A whole day and night!
These hateful humans tortured it for an entire day and night!
Who could understand? The snake might be killed, but not humiliated. It would rather die!
"Release your soul defense and let me plant a restriction," Wei Yang lightly kicked the serpent.
The body of the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent trembled. Then, it obediently complied, allowing Wei Yang to leave a restriction deep within its soul. As long as Wei Yang wished, with a mere thought, he could detonate the restriction and take its life at any time.
Beside him, Ye Xian'er waved her hand, sending a grayish-white Dou Qi into its body, making it settle near its heart. The two imposed a dual restriction on its body and soul.
Wei Yang felt relieved. Caution was necessary as they needed to venture deep into the magma with it. Any carelessness could lead to unexpected incidents.
"Go recover in the magma," Wei Yang grabbed it and tossed it into the magma below. In its weakened state, it was clearly unable to guide them and needed to recover first.
"Xian'er, you should begin too. Absorb the fire poison and convert your Dou Qi attributes."
"Alright."
So, the two began cultivating on the temporary platform they had established.
Half a month later.
Boom! A somewhat slender grayish-white palm imprint descended on the magma lake, sending up splashes of lava. Not far away, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent soaked quietly in the magma, its aura considerably recovered. Upon seeing this, it recoiled slightly and swam away.
This tiny human woman seemed to have grown stronger again. Ye Xian'er waved her hand, sending grayish-white rotating Qi from her fingertips, which struck the magma with pitter-patters, creating splashes.
Rapid Fire Stab! She was having quite a bit of fun experimenting with the new fire poison Dou Qi.
"Finished converting your Dou Qi?" Wei Yang, who had recently broken through to a two-star Dou Ling, opened his eyes and looked at Ye Xian'er.
"Yes." Ye Xian'er nodded excitedly, her hands radiating grayish-white Dou Qi. It was as if two grayish-white flames danced and burned on her palms. Whereas previously, the grayish-white Dou Qi might have felt eerie, now it exuded a scorching sensation.
"How does it feel?" Wei Yang asked with concern. Meanwhile, he carefully sensed her, noting that although she remained in the one-star Da Dou Shi realm, her entire aura had completely transformed, with a sense of heat about her.
"Um... it feels great." Ye Xian'er tilted her head, pondered, and said, "Previously, staying here felt somewhat oppressive. But now, that sense of oppression has vanished, and it feels very comfortable, like soaking in a hot bath."
"That's good," Wei Yang felt relieved. It proved that her Dou Qi, through absorbing the fire poison, had successfully converted to a fire poison attribute. Initially, it was just a hypothesis and an idea, untested, so he couldn't guarantee success. Now it shows that the idea was correct, and Xian'er succeeded.
In the future, her Doom Poison Body, which wasn't restrained by fire attributes, would become even more terrifying.
"Well done," Wei Yang smiled and nodded. Hearing Wei Yang's praise, Ye Xian'er was filled with satisfaction, saying, "From now on, like Brother Yang, I also have the fire attribute. No matter where you go, I won't be a burden to you."
Two days later, after Xian'er had fully adapted to her new Dou Qi...
"It's about time." Wei Yang rose and called out to the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent soaking in the magma in the distance, "Come on, time to work."
With Wei Yang's call, the two heads of the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent lifted, and its tail swayed as it slowly swam over.
After this period of recuperation and recovery, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent's injuries seemed largely healed, at least on the surface, although its spirit and aura still appeared somewhat weak. It was truly a magical beast raised in the magma, recovering rapidly in such an environment.
Though Wei Yang had seriously injured it before, being of the fire attribute himself and merely a Dou Ling level, in their battle, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent suffered injuries. Although seriously hurt, its foundation remained intact. Therefore, recovery wasn't too troublesome, and it seemed likely that in a few months, it would fully recover.
"Lead us to find the Heavenly Flame. I know you understand what I'm saying, and I know you know where it is." Wei Yang stared into its eyes and said, "Don't play any tricks; otherwise, while we might remain unharmed, you'll definitely wish you were dead!"
The four eyes of the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent shrunk, revealing a submissive and flattering look. Its two heads nodded.
Seeing it being sensible, Wei Yang's expression softened, and he spoke gently, "I'm not unreasonable. As long as you help us obtain the Heavenly Flame, we will grant you freedom when we leave."
Hearing this, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent nodded again. A look of hope flashed across its eyes.
Seeing this, Wei Yang smiled, picked up Ye Xian'er, and leaped onto one of its heads, sitting cross-legged. Surrounded by Dou Qi, a protective shield formed around them. Wei Yang then patted its head and instructed, "Let's go."
Hissing~ The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent emitted a hiss, then carried the two of them and plunged into the magma.
In the fiery magma world, as they descended deeper into the magma, Wei Yang and Ye Xian'er found the surrounding temperature becoming increasingly intense. All around them was a fiery red hue, as if they had entered another world. A world made entirely of magma.
Here, undercurrents surged, and from time to time, extremely fierce magma currents would burst out from somewhere. These currents contained enormous energy, and if struck by one, even a Da Dou Shi would risk severe injuries or even death. However, the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent was very familiar with the place and adeptly avoided the currents every time before they arrived.
Growing up here, it was most familiar with the environment, always finding the best routes to navigate. Seated on it, Wei Yang and Ye Xian'er had a much easier time, only needing to resist the intense external heat.
Of course, Wei Yang didn't entirely trust it. He always kept part of his mind focused on observing its every move. Simultaneously, his strong spiritual perception remained alert to the surroundings at all times. Any sign of danger, and he would react immediately.
The area was deathly silent. In this fiery world, besides the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, there seemed to be no other creatures inhabiting the place. This was normal, considering the harsh conditions; only a creature as innately gifted as the Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent could survive here. As they continued to dive deeper, towards the seemingly bottomless depths of the magma, even with Wei Yang's current Dou Ling cultivation, he could clearly feel that the external temperature was perpetually rising. With continuous descent, the consumption of Dou Qi became increasingly substantial.
