Mo Yu fluttered his Purple Cloud Wings, which were nearly a meter long, and turned his head to wave at Qing Lin.
Seeing Mo Yu's action, Qing Lin quickly jogged over, her pair of strange, nimble Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils staring at Mo Yu and the purple-glowing wings behind him.
"This is Dou Qi transformation into wings, something only a Dou Wang expert can possess. I didn't expect Young Master to have such a method at such a young age. He truly is a top-tier extraordinary man in this world."
At this moment, Mo Yu appeared increasingly tall and imposing in Qing Lin's heart.
Mo Yu briefly scanned her charming Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, then reached out his arm, and, amidst Qing Lin's somewhat shy little face, pulled her into his embrace, smiling, "Hold me tight. There might be many unknown dangers inside the cave entrance."
Embraced by Mo Yu, Qing Lin's small face gradually flushed crimson. She lowered her head, softly nodded, and gently hummed.
Hearing this, Mo Yu smiled, then leaped, jumping into the dark cave entrance. At the same time, his Purple Cloud Wings gently flapped, ensuring that the two of them would not fall vertically.
Within the dark passage, Mo Yu held Qing Lin tightly. As his Purple Cloud Wings continuously flapped, the two of them kept exploring downwards.
In Qing Lin's small hand, she held a moonlight stone, from which a faint, soft light emanated, allowing Mo Yu to discern whether there were any obstacles ahead on the Dao.
As he flew downwards, Mo Yu's gaze swept over the cave walls on both sides, only to find that this passage was extremely smooth, with virtually no stones protruding from the cave walls.
The passage looked as if it had been violently blasted open by some extremely massive energy pillar.
After flying downwards for nearly two or three minutes, Mo Yu could already see the bottom of the cave. He then slightly bent his feet, and a moment later, retracted his Purple Cloud Wings. With a slight muffled thud, his body landed on the ground in an arc shape.
After landing, Mo Yu released Qing Lin from his embrace, pulled her forward a few steps, and his gaze swept over the path ahead, revealing a pitch-black passage.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's expression slightly hardened. He let out a light breath, pulling Qing Lin along this dark passage, walking straight ahead.
"Young Master, that strange sensation seems to be not far from here," Qing Lin said softly after walking for a few minutes.
Hearing this, Mo Yu frowned. At this point, he was almost certain that this was the hiding place of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, but why would Qing Lin feel a familiar Aura? Could it really be the Black Lizard Demon Snake King?
If it really was the Black Lizard Demon Snake King, should he continue to risk exploring it now? Or should he return the way he came for safety?
These two choices left Mo Yu quite indecisive.
The Black Lizard Demon Snake King was a sixth-tier Demonic Beast. If it really discovered them, Mo Yu's situation would be extremely dangerous. However, to give up the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire after expending so much effort also made Mo Yu extremely unwilling.
His expression was conflicted for a moment, then Mo Yu decided to take a gamble.
Although the Black Lizard Demon Snake King was a sixth-tier Demonic Beast, subduing a different fire was not that simple. As far as Mo Yu knew, the Green Lotus Core Flame ranked nineteenth on the different fire list, with its strength roughly between the Peak of Dou Huang and Dou Zong.
The Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire ranked even lower, at twenty-second, so its strength should be around a four or five-star Dou Huang.
And although the Black Lizard Demon Snake King was a sixth-tier Demonic Beast, it was at most equivalent to a human six or seven-star Dou Huang. Plus, its attribute was yin-cold, so it would certainly not be easy for it to deal with the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
After pondering for a moment, Mo Yu still decided to continue exploring forward.
After all, the temptation of devouring the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire was too great. Mo Yu was extremely eager for the Vermillion Bird Sky-Burning Lightning in its Peak state.
"Qing Lin, it's too dangerous ahead. I'll take you back to the cave entrance first. You can wait for me there until I've explored and returned," Mo Yu said solemnly to Qing Lin, lowering his head.
"No, I want to stay with Young Master always." Qing Lin shook her head, a determined expression on her small face.
Seeing this, Mo Yu shook his head helplessly, patted Qing Lin's small head, and the two continued to walk forward.
Within the dark and deep passage, there seemed to be no concept of time, and the two continued to move forward in this manner.
As they delved deeper and deeper, Mo Yu suddenly noticed that the chilling sensation enveloping his body abruptly dissipated, replaced by a faint heat.
"It's a different fire!" Feeling this heat, Mo Yu seemed to realize something, his brow slightly raised, revealing a hint of joy.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu held Qing Lin's small hand and cautiously walked forward quickly.
"Young Master, wait… there seems to be something hidden beneath the ground!"
Just as they were about to leave the passage, Qing Lin, who was holding Mo Yu tightly, stared at the dry, cracked ground with her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and said urgently.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Mo Yu was startled, then quickly scanned the ground, but found nothing other than some large rocks.
"Qing Lin, what did you sense?" Mo Yu asked with a solemn expression.
"There seems to be something in the ground. I can feel a faint Aura from it… It's very strong…" Qing Lin stared intently at the hot, cracked earth, her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils glowing with faint, eerie light, as if piercing through the soil's obstruction to see the mysterious thing hidden beneath.
"There's a living thing?" Mo Yu's face registered surprise, and he immediately gripped Qing Lin's hand tightly, vigilantly watching the ground.
"It seems to be a Demonic Beast. Its strength is similar to Purple Fire's," Qing Lin said softly, gesturing with her small hand. She had always lived in Stone Desert City, and the strongest person she had ever seen was only a Great Dou Master. It was only after encountering Mo Yu's fourth-tier Demonic Beast that she had a rough concept of strength.
"A fourth-tier Demonic Beast…" Mo Yu murmured, guessing, "Could it be a Demonic Beast of the Lizard clan?"
Thinking of this, Mo Yu continued to walk forward with Qing Lin, while his Thunder Dou Qi completely enveloped his body. His Soul Power also permeated outwards, cautiously scanning the surroundings.
The temperature in the passage was terrifyingly high, causing the ground to crack and become difficult to walk on. So, Mo Yu directly picked up Qing Lin, spread his Purple Cloud Wings, and flew straight forward.
The flying speed was obviously much faster than walking speed, but because the surrounding air was incredibly hot, a heatwave rushed towards Mo Yu and Qing Lin during the flight, making them feel suffocated.
Mo Yu quickly circulated his Dou Qi, condensing a Dou Qi veil to block the heatwave for Qing Lin.
Just as the two were about to fly out of the passage, Mo Yu's Soul Power suddenly sensed a hint of danger, and Qing Lin's slightly anxious cry sharply rang out: "Young Master, it's down there! It's coming out!"
Hearing this anxious cry, Mo Yu's expression hardened. Without hesitation, his body instantly turned, and with a flap of his wings, he swiftly shot towards the passage entrance.
As soon as Mo Yu's body moved, a muffled thud resounded from the calm, cracked ground below, and countless hot mud instantly burst forth.
Amidst the flying mud, a massive lizard suddenly burst forth from the cracked ground, letting out a sharp hiss, then lightning-fast, it lunged to bite at Mo Yu, who was turning to leave.
Although Mo Yu's speed was extremely fast with the help of his Purple Cloud Wings, the massive lizard's speed was certainly no less than his.
The moment the hiss faded, its massive body displayed a speed that was utterly inconsistent with its size, gradually catching up to Mo Yu. Then, its ferocious maw opened, and a crimson, three-pronged tongue, like a sharp sword, shot out.
"Young Master, be careful, it's behind you!" Qing Lin's small face was filled with terror as she watched the massive creature gradually approaching Mo Yu, and she shrieked.
Mo Yu, who was flying at high speed, heard Qing Lin's shriek and felt the danger behind him. He abruptly stomped his foot on a massive stone pillar that descended vertically from above, and urgently shouted, "Instant Flash!"
As the sound faded, Mo Yu's figure mysteriously vanished from the massive lizard's sight, landing on the ground not far away.
Having narrowly dodged the massive lizard's fatal blow from behind, and also having slightly widened the distance between them, Mo Yu's expression became much grimmer.
He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the massive lizard that was closely pursuing him not far behind, and Mo Yu frowned.
This massive lizard that suddenly emerged from the ground was a Demonic Beast resembling both a lizard and a snake. Its body was extremely long, roughly four or five meters at a glance. It was entirely black, looking like a terrifying python with claws from a distance. Its body was covered with palm-sized black scales.
"Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast?" As Mo Yu looked at this uniquely shaped Demonic Beast, a fourth-tier Demonic Beast with an extraordinary Aura, a thought slowly arose in his mind.
The Lizard clan was powerful primarily because, besides the Black Lizard Demon Snake King, a sixth-tier Demonic Beast, there were many other powerful lizard species, and the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast was one of the best among them.
An adult Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast could rival a human Dou Ling expert, but Mo Yu never expected to encounter one.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu no longer hesitated. The beast ring on his hand flickered slightly, and a powerful roar also emanated.
"Purple Fire, come out!"
A fourth-tier Demonic Beast, even if Mo Yu used his Soul Power, he would not be its match.
Magic needs to be defeated by magic, and a fourth-tier Demonic Beast similarly needs to be defeated by a fourth-tier Demonic Beast.
As Mo Yu's words fell, Purple Fire's massive body suddenly appeared in this dark passage, the purple flames on his wings illuminating the surroundings.
"Purple Fire, beat him up for me!"
Mo Yu pointed at the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast and ordered Purple Fire.
"Roar!"
Hearing his master's command, Purple Fire roared wildly, his beast eyes fixed on the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast, and the purple flames on his body billowed.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Purple Fire, the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's snake-like Triangle Eye also showed cold killing intent. Its huge tail suddenly whipped, fiercely smashing towards Purple Fire.
With a slight flap of his purple flame wings, Purple Fire, despite his massive size, was extremely agile, dodging the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's attack.
"Boom!"
The massive tail brought up a large shadow, smashing heavily against the mountain wall, and immediately a violent muffled sound rang out.
Huge cracks spread out from the rock wall like a spiderweb, extending for more than ten meters before gradually stopping.
Seeing the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's fierce attack, how could Purple Fire be the type to suffer a loss? His purple flame wings flapped rapidly, and his beast body almost instantly appeared above the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's head.
His spiraling horn, accompanied by a fierce whooshing sound, formed a massive purple flame arc as it cut through space, looking extremely brilliant.
"Bang!"
Purple Fire's horn, almost like a drill, slammed heavily onto the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's head, giving it no chance to react.
Immediately, the hard black scales burst open, and streaks of crimson blood seeped out from the gaps in the scales, dripping onto the dry ground.
"Hiss, hiss!"
Its head suddenly struck hard, the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast let out sharp hisses, its massive tail wildly thrashing above its head.
Having succeeded in one strike, a hint of cunning appeared in Purple Fire's beast eyes. Then, with a flap of his wings, he quickly dodged the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's wild sweep of its tail.
Although Purple Fire's strength was similar to the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's, after being contracted by Mo Yu, Purple Fire's intelligence had also grown significantly, thus putting him at an advantage in the battlefield.
As the two massive fourth-tier Demonic Beasts fiercely fought, the surrounding rock walls of the passage shattered, and many large pits were smashed into the ground.
Mo Yu continuously dodged the huge falling rocks caused by the aftermath of the two Demonic Beasts' battle, and watching the fight, he frowned.
Although Purple Fire had the upper hand in the battle with the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast, it was not a crushing victory. If this continued, the entire passage would inevitably be destroyed and collapse due to the fierce battle between the two beasts.
Holding Qing Lin's hand tightly, Mo Yu suddenly noticed her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, which emitted a green glow, and his heart stirred.
The Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast also had snake Bloodline, and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were the bane of snake-type Demonic Beasts. Why not…
"Qing Lin, can you use your eyes to control that Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast?" Mo Yu pointed at the massive lizard-snake and said to Qing Lin.
"Ah… Young Master, what are you saying? Qing Lin is just a maid, she doesn't have such great abilities."
Hearing Mo Yu's words, Qing Lin was startled, then an incredulous expression appeared on her small face, and she quickly waved her hands, saying.
Qing Lin didn't know that she possessed such powerful pupil techniques with her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. How could she possibly control that massive lizard? Was Young Master joking with her?
Hearing Qing Lin's refusal, Mo Yu just smiled and said softly, "Qing Lin, do you believe me?"
"Qing Lin certainly believes Young Master, even more than she believes herself!" Qing Lin's small face showed a determined expression as she looked at Mo Yu, who was gazing at her.
"Since that's the case, if I say you can control that big lizard, then you can. What, do you doubt me?" Mo Yu said with a light chuckle.
Hearing this, Qing Lin was stunned, a hint of confusion appearing on her delicate small face. She murmured, "Young Master says I can control that big lizard?"
Mo Yu's words made her doubt herself for the first time. In Qing Lin's view, how could a Demonic Beast stronger than even Chief Xiao Ding and Chief Xiao Li be controlled by her? She was just an ordinary half-snake-human, half-human girl.
But since her Young Master, whom she revered as a god, said so, it meant she could do it.
Young Master would never deceive her!
Thinking of this, Qing Lin's small face showed a determined expression. At the same time, the green color in her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils glowed brightly like will-o'-the-wisps in the dark night.
"Ah!"
The moment she saw Purple Fire being ambushed and knocked down by the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast, Qing Lin couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
At the same time, within her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, which were as clear and luminous as green jade, the Rock Serpent Giant Lizard Beast's crimson snake tongue continuously enlarged. With her firm belief in Mo Yu, Qing Lin shrieked in a high-pitched, piercing voice.
As this high-pitched shriek resounded, three small green dots suddenly emerged beside Qing Lin's green Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
The three green dots that appeared this time were clearer than ever before. In fact, upon closer inspection, one could even discern that these three green dots seemed to resemble three tiny flower buds…
