Fighting with fire shadow

"I can't help it. The seal in my body was planted by Queen Medusa. If I get too close to the snake tribe, she will sense it."

Haibodong also knew that he was in the wrong and said with some embarrassment: "But don't worry, I won't let your help go in vain. I happen to have two residual pictures here.

According to my research over the years, these two residual pictures should also contain clues to a strange fire.

I will give you a fragment of the picture first, and when you bring the Mandala of Sand back to me, I will give you the remaining fragment of the picture. "

After Hai Bodong finished speaking, he reached into his arms again, took out a broken map and handed it to Ximen Cheng.

This broken map has the same texture as the broken map of Pure Lotus Demon Fire that Ximen Cheng obtained previously, but the area of ​​the map is half smaller, and it was obviously cut by Hai Bodong.

"Old Man Hai, are you trying to trick me with that broken map?"

Although Ximen Cheng knew that the value of this fragment was very high, in order to avoid arousing Hai Bodong's suspicion, he still deliberately made a look of disgust.

When Hai Bodong saw Ximen Cheng's disgusted expression, he curled his lips angrily: "I'm not going to fool you, a junior."

The reason why Hai Bodong fought against Queen Medusa back then was because he accidentally discovered this residual picture.

It's just that Haibodong has been studying for more than ten years, but he still hasn't discovered the secret hidden in this residual picture. He feels that he must gather other residual pictures to figure out the secret hidden in it.

Haibodong had never heard of similar scraps in recent years, and gradually gave up the idea of ​​collecting other scraps, otherwise he would not have taken this scrap as reward.

"Forget it! I can still trust the Ice King's reputation. Just wait for my good news! Let's go!"

After Ximen Cheng put away the remaining maps, he greeted the Little Medical Fairy and Nezuko, and left the map shop with the two girls.

After leaving the street where the map shop was located, the little medical fairy recovered from the surprise and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the Ice Emperor would live in seclusion in such a small city. I heard it when I was very young. Having said his name, this feeling is really wonderful, like a dream."

"Haha~"

Ximen Cheng heard this and smiled kindly: "Xian'er, you have to be mentally prepared in advance. When you come back to Yunlan Sect with me, you will often see Dou Wang and Dou Huang strong men."

"I know~"

……

Perhaps because it is located in the Tagore Desert, most of the cities here are named after words such as "sand", "desert" and "stone".

Since Ximen Cheng had known for a long time that the Qinglian Earth Core Fire was hidden in the underground magma not far from Stone Desert City, so after he took the Little Medical Fairy and the others to buy the supplies, they set off directly for Stone Desert City.

On the map that Hai Bodong handed to Ximen Cheng, one of the flame patterns was located near Stone Desert City. The little medical fairy had no doubts and just thought that he had randomly chosen a direction to move forward.

Compared with the cities in the empire, the cities in the desert are a bit more simple and heavy. Moreover, the defenses here are much stricter than those in the empire. Heavily armed patrols can be seen everywhere in the city.

Although Ximen Cheng knew that the Qinglian Earth Core Fire was hidden in the underground magma near Stone Desert City, he did not know the specific location of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire.

Therefore, after Ximen Cheng took the Little Medical Fairy and the others into Stone Desert City, he took them to stay in the largest tavern in the city, preparing to search the surroundings carefully.

Although Ximen Cheng didn't know the specific location of Qinglian's Earth Core Fire, he quickly found the underground magma river near Stone Desert City with the help of [Marg Walking Technique] that allowed him to escape from the ground.

In the next more than half a month, Ximen Cheng would go out early and come back late every day, exploring the intricate branches of the nearby underground magma river, and finally locked the location of the main vein of the underground magma river.

Qinglian Earth Core Fire, as the name suggests, is the flame that exists in the lava in the core of the earth.

This strange fire was born in the depths of the earth. It has been tempered, fused, compressed, and carved by the fire of the earth countless times. It takes ten years to become a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus. When it is fully mature, its color is green, and a cluster grows in the heart of the lotus. Green Fire, its name is Green Lotus Fire, also known as Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

It is precisely because of this that the place where Qinglian Earth Core Fire is most likely to exist is under the main vein of the underground magma river, where the fire attribute energy is the strongest and where Qinglian Earth Core Fire is most likely to be born.

But what Ximen Cheng didn't know was that just when he found the main vein of the underground magma river, the Little Medical Fairy and Nezuko also prepared a surprise for him.

"It should be this place."

In a huge underground cave, Ximen Cheng stared at the slowly flowing lava river not far away for a while. His whole body was suddenly immersed in the swamp space, turning into a black shadow and diving into the lava river.

In fact, with Ximen Cheng's current resistance to fire damage, it is impossible for the magma to harm him. However, although he is immune to the damage of magma, it does not mean that he can breathe in the magma.

Ximen Cheng didn't know the specific location of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire, and he was not sure that he could find the Qinglian Earth Core Fire in a short time. If he was immersed in the magma for a long time, he would suffocate and die.

The most important thing is that, according to the original plot, there is a two-headed fire spirit snake living near Qinglian's inner fire, which is a fourth-level monster.

If Ximen Cheng is accidentally discovered by the two-headed fire spirit snake when he is looking for Qinglian's inner fire in the magma river, it will be very troublesome.

When Ximen Cheng moves in the swamp space, he doesn't have to worry about being unable to breathe, and he won't disturb the two-headed fire spirit snake. It is definitely more convenient to use [Swamp Walking Technique] to move.

"Crash..."

Ximen Cheng had just dived tens of meters into the magma river when he suddenly saw a huge black shadow swimming in front of his eyes. He looked closely and saw that it was a giant python with two snake heads.

"Looks like I'm in the right place this time."

When Ximen Cheng saw the two-headed fire spirit snake swimming past his eyes, instead of showing any fear, he accelerated his speed and dived downwards.

As Ximen Cheng continued to dive, the surrounding magma became hotter and hotter, and the color of the magma gradually changed from red to cyan.

"Shh!!!"

Ximen Cheng was sneaking in the lava river for more than half an hour when he suddenly saw a burst of blue light in front of him. He looked intently and saw a green lotus standing gracefully in the blue light.

"finally found you!"

Seeing this, Ximen Cheng quickly moved towards the cyan light ball, and then got out of the swamp space.

"Huhuhu..."

Before the smile on Ximen Cheng's face dissipated, he felt a terrifying heat wave coming towards him, and his skin started to burn.
