Chapter 119: Entering the Magma World
A mysterious creature suddenly broke through the molten magma with a sharp screech and shot towards Gu He in mid-air.
The haphazardly spewing molten rock stirred the once calm magma lake into a violent frenzy. Columns of molten lava erupted from it, creating a spectacular sight.
Seeing the mysterious creature coming towards him, Gu He's eyes revealed a hint of amusement. He swiftly maneuvered his body, heading towards the space above the molten magma.
The mysterious creature hesitated for a moment but couldn't resist the temptation of its prey, so it chased after Gu He.
Gu He extended his soul power and could now clearly see the appearance of the mysterious creature. It resembled a serpent-like magical beast with an exceptionally long body, at least around forty to fifty feet in length. Its entire body was fiery red, resembling a round fire jade. Small, palm-sized red scales covered its surface. What surprised Gu He the most was that this magical beast had two heads.
At the point where its long neck split, two ferocious heads with large diamond-shaped pupils stared out, filled with a furious and bloodthirsty intent.
"Is this the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake? It's certainly not winning any beauty contests," Gu He thought to himself. Seeing that the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake had been attracted, he stopped and waited for it to approach.
With a screeching sound, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, despite its large body, displayed astonishing speed as it gradually caught up to Gu He.
In an instant, the menacing double heads lunged with crimson tridents that resembled sharp swords.
"Heh, I'm giving you a chance!" Gu He said with a cold smile. At the moment when he evaded the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's attack, he rapidly formed a colossal and incomparably powerful claw imprint, which grabbed the massive body of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake like catching a chicken.
Hiss! Above the Magma World, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake was caught in a huge claw, squirming helplessly, making terrified hissing sounds, in stark contrast to its previous ferocity.
Gu He exerted some force in his hand, and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake felt a tremendous pressure, as if its body were about to burst.
Hiss! After struggling for a while, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake looked at Gu He, and its eyes were filled with a plea.
"It's remarkably intelligent!" Gu He was slightly surprised by the creature's pleading eyes. This beast even knew how to act pitiful to elicit sympathy.
Looking at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, which was writhing in pain in his hand, Gu He's lips curled into a cold smile. Then, he moved his left hand and conjured a cluster of purple flames, gently tossing it toward the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.
Gu He's grip slightly eased, and he stared at the creature with indifference. "If you don't want to die, swallow this down!"
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake possessed remarkable intelligence and clearly understood Gu He's words. However, as it looked at the hovering purple flames before its eyes, its massive body trembled slightly, and its eyes revealed fear.
After gazing at the purple flames, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake turned its eyes back to Gu He, pleading as it hissed.
Its pitiful expression seemed to say, "Can I not swallow this? I'm really scared!"
However, in response to its plea, Gu He remained unmoved and spoke with a cold expression, "If you don't want to swallow it, then be prepared to die!"
Saying this, Gu He prepared to exert more force.
Seeing this, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake panicked and quickly opened its mouth to swallow the purple flames.
Witnessing this, Gu He finally relaxed his grip and revealed a satisfied expression.
Next, Gu He released his grip entirely. The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake had now ingested a wisp of his lifebound divine fire. Whenever he willed it, the lifebound divine fire within the snake's stomach could explode.
Gu He believed that the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake should be able to sense the terrifying energy contained within the purple flames, just as he had expected. Even when Gu He loosened his restraint, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake obediently stayed in place without attempting to escape.
Gu He swiftly moved to a position above the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake and looked down at it. He said from his commanding position, "You're quite clever. If you want to keep your life, you'll listen obediently."
Hearing this, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake nodded both of its large heads hurriedly.
Gu He smiled with satisfaction and continued, "Did a Snake-Person woman visit this place about a month ago?"
Upon hearing this, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake appeared puzzled for a moment but then nodded.
Gu He continued, "Take me to the place that woman visited."
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake hesitated, its eyes revealing fear. But when it thought of the purple flames inside its body, it reluctantly nodded.
Then, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake wriggled its massive body and shot towards the molten magma world like a fast-flowing river, finally diving straight into the magma and causing large amounts of molten rock to splash.
Seeing this, Gu He activated the Xuanbing Holy Armor to cover himself in a blue light. The Xuanbing armor formed a protective shield around him. It deflected the molten rock splashes that fell onto Gu He's body.
Protected by the Xuanbing armor, Gu He felt as though he was isolated from the external heat. He couldn't sense the scorching temperature outside.
Gu He scooped up some fiery molten rock with his palm and allowed it to flow between his fingers before slowly descending. Gu He couldn't help but be amazed by the close contact with the molten rock, which sent a slight shiver down his spine. If his Xuanbing armor suddenly dissipated at this moment, he would...
Thinking about a grasshopper desperately jumping in a hot frying pan, Gu He couldn't help but shiver slightly.
With that thought, Gu He turned back and looked at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake that was obediently waiting not far away. He spoke coldly, "Big fellow, lead the way."
Hearing Gu He's words, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake nodded in a placating manner. It then dived into the magma below, creating ripples in the lava lake. Gu He closely followed, hanging behind the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.
