Chapter 52: Strange Fire Entering the Body
Outside Shimo City, in a flat desert."boom!"
A stream of fiery red fighting spirit flew out from the ground, revealing a dark passage under the yellow sand. Then, two figures slowly walked out of the passage. Beside them, there was a green lotus floating in the air.
The sunlight sprinkled on the figure, and a handsome face emerged from the darkness. The man was Xiao Yun, who had just returned from the underground magma world. He held Qing Lin's hand and pulled him out of the passage. Then he activated his fighting spirit and buried the cave entrance again.
"Qinglin, brother is going to devour the strange fire next. It may take some time. Then brother will let the old man Hai take care of you." Xiao Yun said with a smile, touching Qinglin's little head.
"Can't you take Qinglin with you? I don't want to be separated from my brother." Hearing Xiao Yun's words, the little girl's eyes immediately showed reluctance. Xiao Yun was the first person who was so kind to her. She was a little afraid that Xiao Yun would never come back after leaving this time.
"Haha, be good." Xiao Yun squatted down and looked into the little girl's eyes. Seeing the tears gradually welling up in her emerald eyes, he stretched out his hand to wipe them away and comforted her, "Brother is not going to abandon you, but swallowing the strange fire is a little dangerous and may take a long time. I am just worried about your safety, so I won't take you with me."
"Okay, then brother, you must come back safely." Looking at Xiao Yun's sincere eyes, Qing Lin suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Yun tightly.
Xiao Yun half squatted, feeling Qing Lin's soft and thin body, and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. He kneaded the back of her head with his palm and said softly: "Don't worry, brother is very powerful, he will definitely come back safely."
Suddenly, Xiao Yun felt a familiar icy breath approaching quickly. Before he looked up, he heard Hai Bodong's old voice.
"Hahaha, am I here at a bad time?"
A figure flashed and appeared in front of the two of them, bringing with it an icy breath that lowered the temperature around them slightly.
"Ah." Seeing Hai Bodong suddenly appear, Qing Lin exclaimed, and her little face turned red instantly. But she was reluctant to push Xiao Yun away, so she had to bury her head completely in Xiao Yun's arms to hide her embarrassment.
"No, Hai Lao, you came at the right time." Holding Qing Lin in one hand, Xiao Yun stood up, looked at Hai Bodong in front of him, and said with a smile.
"Uh, this is the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, right? It's really strange and very bright." Seeing Xiao Yun's smiling expression, Hai Bodong thought to himself that something was wrong, and quickly changed the subject, talking nonsense.
"Hmph, you old man who is disrespectful." Xiao Yun sneered, and then said seriously: "Old Hai, the strange fire has been obtained. I need to subdue it as soon as possible. During the days I am away, Qinglin will be handed over to you to take care of. You can go to the Xiao family in Wutan City first. That's my family. After I subdue the strange fire, I will help you find the Sand Mandala, and then I will return to the Xiao family to meet up with you."
"No problem, don't worry. As long as I, Hai Bodong, am alive, no one can hurt this little girl." Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Hai Bodong hurriedly assured him, especially the last sentence Xiao Yun said, which made his eyes shine.
"Qinglin, you have to listen to Hai Lao when I'm away." Pinching the girl's cheek, Xiao Yun gently put her on the ground and instructed.
"Brother, I will be obedient, and I will become very strong. I will not be a burden to you anymore." Tears of reluctance finally welled up in the girl's eyes. Looking at the gentle boy in front of her, Qinglin said with a very serious expression.
"Okay, brother will wait for you to become stronger."
Xiao Yun nodded to Hai Bodong, and the fiery red fighting spirit turned into a pair of wings that appeared behind him. His body shook slightly, and then he turned into a fiery red stream of light that soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
……
Above the clouds, Xiao Yun flew at a very fast speed, away from the human city and the snake tribe. After a long time, he flew to the edge of the desert. He used his soul power to explore the surroundings and found that there was no human figure within a hundred miles. Only then did he feel relieved.
The fiery red fighting spirit surged out and turned into a drill bit that drilled into the yellow sand. Soon, Xiao Yun created an artificial deep pit in the originally flat desert area. Holding Qinglian in his hand, he put his whole body into the pit, not forgetting to cover the entrance with yellow sand again.
In the spacious cave, Xiao Yun placed the green lotus on the ground, and then he sat on the ground. He wiped his hand on the ring, and several things appeared in his hand.
The blood-red Blood Lotus Pill, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring that exudes an icy aura, and the Soul Ring that is like a small insect. Looking at the three major items to tame the Strange Fire, Xiao Yun carefully checked the three items, then took out a pill from the Ring with some concern, and then looked at the Green Lotus.
With his eyes fixed on the green flame in the center of the lotus pedestal, Xiao Yun took a deep breath, stretched out his palm to support the bottom of the green lotus pedestal, and his soul power quickly invaded it, separating the entire lotus pedestal and the green lotus core fire, and then he sat in the green lotus again.
After the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire separated from the lotus platform, the originally harmless small flame instantly turned into a raging fire. The temperature in the pit rose rapidly, and even the top rock wall of the pit was melted.
Looking at the surging green fire in front of him, Xiao Yun took the Blood Lotus Pill and swallowed it. Suddenly, a somewhat cold energy quickly flowed through his body, and finally wrapped and protected his bones and meridians like layers of blood membranes. Xiao Yun, whose whole body was wrapped in blood-red energy, stretched out his arm with a full blood-colored stratum corneum and aimed at the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. A powerful suction force burst out from his palm.
In just a moment, a destructive force suddenly burst out from the green fire as if awakening from the flames, spreading to the surroundings. The originally stable pit gradually shook, and rocks continued to fall from above. It is believed that it will not be long before Xiao Yun and this deep pit will be completely buried.
The volume of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire suddenly increased, and the temperature in the deep pit suddenly rose by more than a hundred times. Even the air was burned into nothingness.
The situation in the pit was not good either. Under the extreme temperature, the originally yellowish rock walls turned completely red. Gradually, the surface of the stone walls liquefied and turned into dripping magma.
Xiao Yunduan sat on the Green Lotus, which was protected by a layer of green film that blocked most of the temperature of the Green Lotus's core fire. Looking at the pits full of magma, he felt like he had returned to the underground world.
"No wonder the strange fire has the terrifying power to destroy the world. Even the nineteenth-ranked Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire can explode like a volcano. If it appeared in a human city, it would probably burn the entire city to ashes."
Looking at the growing green fire in front of him, Xiao Yun no longer hesitated. His eyes twitched wildly. He suppressed his fear of the terrifying power of the strange fire and stretched out his hand, inserting his entire palm into the flame.
"Zizzi."
The blood-colored stratum corneum on the surface of his body sizzled under the burning of the strange fire, and the blood-colored film on his arm began to melt rapidly, drops of liquid like blood fell, and the moment the liquid fell, it was completely vaporized by the high temperature and disappeared. Although the blood-colored film was consumed quickly in the strange fire, the cold energy in Xiao Yun's body would quickly wrap around his arm and quickly repair the blood-colored film.
Enduring the severe pain of the burning flames and relying on the cold energy of the Blood Lotus Pill, Xiao Yun continued to explore in the strange fire. Finally, he touched a tiny strip of magma and grabbed it out.
Looking at the long liquid strip like green magma in the palm of his hand, Xiao Yun understood that this was the spark of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire!
As the fire was pulled out of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, the originally huge green flame gradually shrank. After a moment, it turned into a tiny flame and drilled into the fire in his palm.
Xiao Yunku sat on the green lotus, stretched out his other hand, and swallowed the pill he had just taken out.
This pill is a fifth-grade top-level pill, the Resurrection Pill. Even though it cannot really bring a person back to life, it can repair the body's internal injuries extremely quickly. Even if you only have one breath left, it can snatch you back from the hands of the King of Hell.
He was hesitating. After seeing the destructive power of the strange fire, he knew that eating this thing would really kill people.
But haven’t I prepared so much just for this moment?
But eating this can really kill you!
……
"Damn it, let's fight. It's just a strange fire! I'll eat it for you to see!"
After a long time, Xiao Yun's face became ferocious. He slowly raised the arm holding the fire, and finally suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
As soon as the fire entered his mouth, Xiao Yun closed his mouth tightly. His originally rosy face instantly turned extremely pale, and his body was shaking wildly as if he had been electrocuted.
Enduring the intense burning sensation that went straight from his throat to his abdomen, Xiao Yun slowly picked up the Ice Spirit Cold Spring beside him and slowly put it into his mouth. Suddenly, a coldness that was cold enough to freeze a human body flowed through his mouth and finally went down his throat into his body.
"Ah!" The intense pain of ice and fire made Xiao Yun unable to bear it any longer and he screamed. But then he closed his eyes again, guarding his mind. His eyes slightly closed, his mind gradually sank into his body.
As soon as his mind entered the body, the conditions of various parts of the body were quickly transmitted to his mind. He knew all the conditions inside his body, and it could only be described as horrific.
After the fire of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire entered his body, it began to rampage through his meridians, burning any obstacles it encountered. Even with the protection of the Blood Lotus Pill and the repair of the Resurrection Pill, his meridians, bones, and flesh all became a mess.
Looking at his originally horrible meridians, flesh and other body parts gradually being covered by a layer of ice under the high temperature, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he took the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in time, otherwise, if he continued to burn like this, his meridians, heart and other organs would all be burned by the strange fire.
Afterwards, Xiao Yun quickly focused his mind and began to make initial attempts to contact the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire that was running wildly in his body. He kept practicing his skills, trying to control and refine it...
