The closer they got to the fire lake, the hotter the temperature became. Afraid that the big-headed zombie wouldn't be able to withstand the heat, Han Shuo had no choice but to use his magical yuan to activate the Mystical Glacial Spellfire to lower the temperature around them.
Zombie warriors that were used to darkness had an instinctive aversion to sunlight and blazing heat. This big-headed zombie was no exception. Its body couldn't help but sway in Han Shuo's hands, as if it was afraid of the burning fire lake.
However, with Han Shuo's steel-like grip, it couldn't move at all. Two large clouds of white smoke rapidly approached from the surrounding rock walls, arriving next to fire grand magus Marceau in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Marceau and Han Shuo were only three meters away from the fire lotus below. As they were worried that the temperature of the fire lake would be too high for the barrier to withstand, the two didn't dare to approach the fire lotus too quickly. They were afraid that the barrier would shatter from the scorching heat.
"Eh, why are you here?" Marceau was shocked when Han Shuo approached in the form of two clouds of smoke. Although she couldn't see Han Shuo's appearance due to the thick smoke, she recognized Han Shuo from Han Shuo's actions just now.
"I can't withstand the heat anymore, please let me enter the barrier to rest!" Han Shuo's hurried pleading came from the thick smoke. Han Shuo had already stopped next to the barrier when his voice was heard.
Marceau seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma when she heard this. It seemed that it was very difficult for her to bring Han Shuo into the barrier at the moment. She stood there in a daze, hesitating for a moment.
Suddenly, Han Shuo's exhausted cry of surprise sounded from the thick cloud of smoke next to Marceau. The thick smoke suddenly sank down and fell into the beautiful fire lotuses that were blooming below.
Shrill screams suddenly came from the thick smoke below, causing one's heart to tremble. This caused the two girls, who were confused by the sudden change, to be unable to react for a moment.
However, Han Shuo, who was covered by the thick smoke, had a calm expression on his face even though he was screaming in agony. He grabbed the struggling big-headed zombie warrior and slowly pushed him into the pistil of the fire lotus.
An arrow of blood shot out from Han Shuo's left index finger and fell directly into the big-headed zombie's mouth. At the same time, Han Shuo imprinted a Seal of Darkness magic on the big-headed zombie's body. A mass of pulsating purple flame covered the surface of Han Shuo's body according to his will. Then, Han Shuo shot out beams of black demonic light that twined around the big-headed zombie.
When Han Shuo formed the shape of a lotus with a few drops of blood essence and forcefully clasped it onto the big-headed zombie's head, he seemed to have triggered some sort of restriction. In the blink of an eye, twenty-four blazing, blood-red beams of light suddenly shot out from the cave walls surrounding the fire lake, all converging towards the fire lotus.
The dense fire origin energy seemed to be escorted by twenty-four ribbons as it frantically gathered towards the fire lotus in the center. The beautiful fire lotus blossomed with dazzling red light like a dancing flame. It slowly began to shrink its petals at a miraculous speed and trajectory, wrapping around the big-headed zombie that Han Shuo had ordered to stay in the pistil bit by bit.
"What's going on? What's going on?!" Marceau, who was three meters above Han Shuo, couldn't help but cry out when she saw the mysterious changes in her surroundings and felt the frantic gathering of the fire origin energy.
However, Han Shuo's shrill screams completely drowned out Marceau's cries. This made Marceau, who was unaware of the situation, unable to guess what had happened to Han Shuo below. She didn't dare to descend another three meters to see what was happening below.
The dense fire origin energy around the fire lake, under the influence of the formation, was all channeled towards the center of the fire lotus, providing sufficient nourishment for the fire elite zombie's formation. On the day that the fire elite zombie was formed, the fire lotus that it nurtured would very likely become a treasure that the fire elite zombie could control and help him obtain all sorts of strange abilities.
Twenty-four beams of blood-red light gathered towards the fire lotus in the center from the cave walls. The fire origin energy that had lingered in the entire place of extreme fire for tens of thousands of years was slowly nourishing the big-headed zombie's body through the fire lotus. With the protection of the fire lotus' pistil, the big-headed zombie didn't need to endure the scorching heat. It only needed to continuously absorb all sorts of pure energy and cultivate according to the imprint that Han Shuo had left in its mind. It would be able to continuously change its body and become a powerful fire elite zombie.
"Roar …"
A terrifying roar sounded from above the fire lake. The Lord of the Flames seemed to have sensed the changes in the Kingdom of Fire and couldn't help but roar.
Through the yin demon's observation, Han Shuo discovered that the Lord of the Flames, who had a slight upper hand despite fighting one against three, had already given up on the battle against the golden dragon, cyclops, and silver ape. It roared as it moved its enormous volcanic body, slowly walking towards the largest crevice in the valley.
The fire lotus that was nurtured in the fire lake was a fire attribute treasure. It contained some strange power. As the master of the Kingdom of Fire, the Lord of the Flames must have some sort of connection with the fire lotus. Perhaps the Lord of the Flames had already left an imprint on the fire lotus and treated it as a taboo item.
Han Shuo had used the demonic magic formation and used this taboo item without permission. He had even imprinted a living being within it to absorb the enormous amount of fire origin energy in the surroundings. This must have alarmed the Lord of the Flames and made it come over to understand everything that had happened.
At this moment, the fire lotus' petals had already shrunk into a bud, slowly sinking into the fire lake. When Han Shuo saw this, he immediately understood that he had succeeded. He began to scream in pain as he slowly moved upwards.
Up until now, all of Han Shuo's arrangements had gone smoothly. However, he still had no way of predicting the final outcome. According to Chu Canglan's memories, Han Shuo knew that after the fire lotus' petals had shrunk, it would be very difficult to open it again without special methods and opportunities. However, as the master of this fire lake, Han Shuo had no way of knowing if the Lord of the Flames had a way to open the fire lotus.
From the very beginning, Han Shuo knew that he wasn't completely confident in this matter. The reason why he had to do this was because he had no other choice. Otherwise, if he lost this opportunity, he didn't know when the Lord of the Flames would leave this place of extreme fire, nor would he have a fire grand magus bring him into this strange space.
Therefore, even if he wasn't completely confident, Han Shuo had to make use of this rare opportunity to plant the big-headed zombie into the fire lotus. As for the final outcome, whether the Lord of the Flames would be able to open the fire lotus, or whether it would kill the big-headed zombie, this wasn't something that Han Shuo could grasp. It could only be said that it all depended on the will of the heavens!
As Han Shuo's figure slowly rose into the air, he purposefully withdrew the purple flames protecting his legs and used the high temperature of the fire lake to roast his legs. In an instant, Han Shuo's trousers were charred black. His legs were exposed to the blazing heat, and in the blink of an eye, a large area was burnt by the flames.
"Save me!" A mournful scream rang out from Han Shuo's mouth, his voice urgent and desperate.
However, under the cover of the thick smoke, Han Shuo didn't have any expression of pain on his face. Instead, he was terrifyingly calm. The burning pain from the large area of his legs seemed to be happening to someone else's body. He was currently looking at the two people in the boundary above him with a bright expression.
Fire grand magus Marceau watched as the fire lotus slowly sank into the lake of fire. She seemed to be extremely discouraged and had a face full of regret. She didn't seem to care about Han Shuo's shouts as she kept murmuring, "My fire lotus, my fire lotus …"
On the other hand, it was the female knight Sophie who showed sympathy for Han Shuo. She was drenched in sweat as she panted. She pulled on the corner of Marceau's clothes and said anxiously, "Let's save him first!"
Under Sophie's tugging, fire grand magus Marceau suddenly woke up with a start. She looked down with a mournful expression and sighed. She nodded unwillingly and started chanting a magic incantation.
A strong magical wave suddenly enveloped Han Shuo's body. Amidst the crackling sparks, Han Shuo's body was pulled by the fire element and suddenly squeezed into the boundary that Sophie and Marceau were in.
When Han Shuo had left earlier, a part of the three to four meter magic boundary had been cut off. Now that Han Shuo's body had squeezed in again, the part that had been cut off didn't return. The magic boundary that Sophie and Marceau had been in suddenly became very crowded with Han Shuo's addition.
Right now, Han Shuo's face was pale and weak. A large area from his knees to his feet had been roasted by the high temperature of the Fire Lake. Not only did it look very horrifying, but it also gave off an unpleasant smell.
In the crowded boundary, the fire grand magus didn't seem to be too willing to lean against Han Shuo due to her identity, age, or other reasons. She forcefully retreated to a corner, causing the limp Han Shuo and Sophie to lean against each other.
Han Shuo moved his body with difficulty and pretended to cry out in pain, seeming to want to sit up from his limp position. When his two hands were supporting the invisible boundary, he couldn't avoid touching Sophie's thighs because of the squeezing of the boundary.
The temperature within the boundary had been maintained at around forty degrees after Han Shuo had left. Sophie was still sweating profusely, and her entire body was wet and uncomfortable. Her clothes were all wet and stuck to her curvaceous body. Under Han Shuo's unintentional touch, he could feel the taut fullness of Sophie's thighs. He could even feel the powerful strength contained within her extremely elastic thighs.
Originally, the burning of his two legs was intentional. This degree of burning wouldn't affect the function of Han Shuo's two legs. Apart from looking a bit frightening and causing some completely bearable pain to Han Shuo, it didn't have any other effects.
Therefore, when Han Shuo pretended to be in pain and wanted to sit up, he let out low cries of pain. He wasn't as miserable as he appeared to be. Therefore, when his arm unavoidably touched Sophie's slender thighs, he actually had the leisure to evaluate the elasticity and beauty of Sophie's thighs in his heart.
Perhaps it was because the boundary was indeed very crowded, but this kind of action, which could even be considered frivolous, was only treated by Sophie as a helpless and unintentional carelessness. It didn't cause her displeasure. Her crescent brows slightly furrowed. Instead, she looked at Han Shuo with some sympathy, and said with a kind heart, "I'll help you!"
Sophie's soft voice rang in Han Shuo's ears. Then, under the pained expression of Han Shuo clenching his teeth, her body slightly crouched down. Her slender hands supported Han Shuo's shoulders, helping Han Shuo get up and help him sit down in the boundary.
During this process, due to the crowding of the boundary, it was inevitable that the two of them would come into physical contact. When Han Shuo's arms were propped up by her, the skin between their arms was tightly pressed against each other. Han Shuo even "accidentally" used his shoulder to touch Sophie's firm and curvy breasts.
"Thank you very much!" When Sophie helped Han Shuo sit up from his limp posture, Han Shuo sincerely looked at Sophie and sincerely thanked her.
"Don't mention it. This is what I should do!" Sophie's delicate face had been red because of the high temperature, but the sharp-eyed Han Shuo still found that Sophie's face at this moment was even more rosy than before. Her expression also seemed a little shy. It seemed that the close contact between the two of them had indeed made this kind girl feel a little uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Until now, Han Shuo and Sophie were still very close. Although Sophie deliberately kept a distance, because of the crowding of the boundary, the furthest distance between the two of their bodies would not exceed 20 centimeters. They could clearly smell each other's scent.
The strong scent of a man on Han Shuo's body and the fragrant scent of sweat on Sophie's body blended together and were breathed in by the two young men and women. This kind of peculiar scent was like a miraculous medicine, nourishing Han Shuo's restless heart and giving Han Shuo an inexplicable throbbing feeling.
Han Shuo gazed deeply at Sophie. Perhaps it was because of the high temperature, but his gaze was burning fiercely. When Sophie turned her head away uncomfortably, Han Shuo greedily took a deep breath and his expression returned to normal. He smiled brightly at Phoebe, then slowly closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing, not letting go of any time to recover his magical yuan.
Through the yin demon's spying, Han Shuo discovered that Phoebe's face was flushed red and her expression was a little unnatural. Her long eyelashes continuously fluttered, and while Han Shuo was adjusting his breathing, her bright eyes strangely focused on his body. Who knew what she was thinking?
On the other side, fire grand magus Marceau didn't notice Han Shuo and Sophie's movements. As the Lord of the Flames' loud roar approached, Marceau had no time to care about her surroundings. She was focused on controlling the boundary and slowly rising above the magma.
