In the vast desert, wind and sand raged. A white-clothed young man strolled through it leisurely. He only left behind two lines of extremely shallow footprints in the sand. In just a moment, the footprints were covered up by the sand as well.
The youth held a map in his hand, seemingly trying to determine the direction.
The environment of the Tager Desert was harsh beyond Mu Qingxiao's expectations. Under the scorching sun, the yellow sand beneath his feet was boiling hot. Not bringing the Little Doctor with him was definitely a wise choice.
Glancing at the map, in the original work, Medusa had always been guarding the Molten Green Lotus. Using the Strange Fire to evolve, he naturally did not need to go to the other two places. Instead, he went straight to the place marked with Medusa's location.
Ten minutes later, Mu Qingxiao looked at the flat desert in front of him. The terrain here was extremely ordinary. There was nothing that could attract attention, but the location marked on the Ice Emperor's map was here.
Moreover, as a phoenix, Mu Qingxiao could feel that there was something strange beneath his feet. Judging from the temperature, it was probably magma. The Molten Green Lotus was most likely underground.
Glancing at the slightly curved slope, Mu Qingxiao struck out with his palm. The ground instantly exploded, filling the air with sand. Looking again, what entered his eyes was a cave entrance about half a meter wide.
With a smile on his lips, Mu Qingxiao murmured, "It's really here. It's probably right."
Without hesitation, he jumped in. As his body slid down, Mu Qingxiao scanned the surrounding cave walls. They were extremely smooth. There was not a single stone protruding from the walls. It looked as if an extremely terrifying force had pierced through them.
Maintaining his normal speed, after sliding down for nearly half a minute, Mu Qingxiao could already see the bottom of the cave. He landed lightly on the ground and scanned his surroundings. There were more than a dozen pitch-black tunnels that led to unknown places.
Relying on his intuition, Mu Qingxiao did not hesitate to choose the tunnel in the middle and walked straight in.
The passageway was pitch-black, as if it was going to swallow them whole. Mu Qingxiao was a rational person. Naturally, she would not make a decision based on this. Instead, the heat coming from this passageway was the strongest.
Walking into the pitch-black tunnel, other than the soft sound of walking on sand, the surroundings were deathly silent. The tunnel was very long, and there was no light at the end, but the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher.
After walking for more than ten minutes and turning a corner, a crimson light appeared at the end of the passage not far away. Mu Qingxiao had seen this scene before in the Stormcloud Plane. She didn't need to guess what would happen next.
Mu Qingxiao walked to the end of the tunnel and looked at the scene before her. She had expected this.
Deep underground, fiery red magma flowed slowly. Occasionally, huge bubbles would emerge from the magma. With a slight sound, the bubbles would burst open, and the blazing magma would sputter out like beautiful fireworks.
Standing at the end of the passageway, the scene before her was so similar. She had seen the same scene in the Lingyun Cave under the Leifeng Tower.
Recovering from her shock, just as Mu Qingxiao was about to enter a pool of magma, the magma tumbled, and a ferocious giant beast appeared in front of her.
The creature that emerged from the magma was a snake-like magical beast. Its body was extremely long. At a glance, it was estimated to be about forty to fifty feet long. Its whole body was fiery red, like a perfectly round piece of fire jade. The surface of its body was covered with red scales the size of a palm.
What surprised Mu Qingxiao the most was that the magical beast in front of her had two heads. The slender neck was forked, and the two heads had huge diamond-shaped pupils that were filled with violent and bloodthirsty killing intent.
The Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake usually lived in extremely hot places. It survived by devouring magma and had a lot of room for evolution. When it was born, it was only a Rank 1 magical beast. If it was lucky enough, it might even evolve into a Rank 6 magical beast.
Feeling the killing intent in its eyes, Mu Qingxiao narrowed his eyes. A mere beast dared to be so presumptuous. With a thought, he shot out a sword aura. Before it could react, the two heads of the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Snake slid down from its neck and separated from its body.
The corpse of the Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake fell into the magma. Mu Qingxiao closed her eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings. The magma was estimated to be a few thousand degrees high, but there was a terrifyingly high temperature coming from under the magma.
"This extremely high temperature, it must be the Green Lotus Core Flame."
Accompanied by a resonant phoenix cry, the Nine Heavens Colored Glass Flame emerged from Mu Qingxiao's body. As the magma splashed against the shore, a black wind that was twenty feet tall appeared in the cave.
Flapping her luxurious wings, Mu Qingxiao twisted her phoenix head and thought to herself, "Could it be an illusion? Why does it feel like this body has grown a little bigger compared to when I was on Earth?"
Xiao Chen tossed her complicated emotions to the back of her mind. The most important thing now was the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Without thinking too much, Mu Qingxiao spread her wings and dived into the magma. Immediately, the magma splashed everywhere. Swimming in the magma was like swimming in a hot spring. The degree of comfort was indescribable.
Following the change in temperature, Mu Qingxiao dived to the bottom of the magma at an extremely fast speed.
This was not the first time this had happened. If Xiao Chen was in his human form, he would be extremely vigilant. However, as a phoenix, the magma was like his home. There was no need for him to feel any sense of danger.
Xiao Chen dived for about a minute. According to his speed, he had dived for at least a few thousand meters. Just as he was about to increase his speed, his gaze was attracted by something shining with an azure light not far away.
The azure light shrouded the magma. Mu Qingxiao stopped and looked over. Within the azure light, there was an azure lotus flower standing gently.
The Green Lotus Core Flame was ranked 19th on the Exceptional Flame List.
As the name implied, it was a flame that existed in the magma of the Earth's core. It was born in the depths of the Earth and had been tempered, fused, compressed, and carved by the Earth's Fire countless times …
It took ten years to become a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus. When it was fully grown, it would be slightly azure in color. A cluster of azure fire would be born in the heart of the lotus. It was known as the Green Lotus Core Flame, or the Green Lotus Core Flame. The power of this flame was unfathomable. If it was near a volcanic area, it could even trigger a volcanic eruption, forming a destructive force of nature!
A series of information appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. With a flap of his wings, Xiao Chen arrived at the area covered by the azure light. The surrounding temperature dropped abruptly.
Ignoring the changes in his surroundings, Mu Qingxiao's gaze stopped at the azure lotus flower in the center. The lotus flower had eight leaves. The eight azure leaves were naturally formed, sparkling and translucent. It was extremely perfect.
In the center of the lotus flower, there was a small lotus platform that was about two to three feet long. There were some holes in the lotus platform that were emitting bits of fluorescent light. These were lotus seeds that were formed from the purest fire attribute energy.
Mu Qingxiao chuckled. A phoenix cry sounded in the air. The Green Lotus Core Flame and the lotus seeds could probably raise his strength to another level.
