Seeing Jiang Cheng's confident demeanor, Queen Medusa paid him no further attention. After all, he was a Dou Sheng, and this flame shouldn't pose a threat.
As the two plummeted downwards, the temperature inside rose visibly, even causing Queen Medusa, a half-step Dou Zong, to break out in a cold sweat.
Jiang Cheng took out something resembling a crystal, and a cool sensation spread through their bodies, as refreshing as eating an ice pop on a scorching hot day.
Medusa curiously examined the crystal in Jiang Cheng's hand, asking, "What is this? Why does it possess such terrifying ice-attribute energy?"
"This is a treasure from the extremely cold lands, an ice crystal. As long as you inject a thin amount of Dou Qi into it, the ice crystal will resist most of the fire-attribute heat,"
Jiang Cheng replied softly.
He had obtained the ice crystal during his travels in the far north, trading it with a Dou Zun expert.
He'd intended to save it to cool down the ice water, but it unexpectedly came in handy today, making the use of his Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill worthwhile.
Looking at the vast underground world before him, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh. The magma boiled and surged like a ferocious beast.
Columns of magma, as thick as buckets, leaped
into the air, making the previously calm magma even more turbulent. The scorching magma column, like a ferocious fire dragon, traced a deadly arc in mid-air, shooting directly towards the passage.
Queen Medusa had once fought against the magical beasts here, and without a doubt, that Dou Ling realm beast was no match for her.
A single slap left it dizzy and disoriented.
Jiang Cheng disdainfully took out his folding fan and casually waved it at the fire dragon-like magma, instantly shattering the raging magma column.
Queen Medusa said, "That cunning beast is here again."
As her voice faded, a piercing roar echoed throughout the underground world. From the boiling magma, a serpentine beast slowly emerged.
This beast was tens of meters long, its body covered in scales resembling those of a Qilin. Even more surprisingly, this beast possessed two enormous heads! This
was the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent, typically found in extremely hot regions, feeding on magma, and possessing immense potential for evolution.
At birth, it is only a first-tier magical beast, but with sufficient opportunity, it might evolve into a sixth-tier beast comparable to a Dou Huang powerhouse!
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent dared not make a move, warily observing the two humans before it, constantly emitting piercing roars.
Especially upon seeing Queen Medusa, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent felt a surge of fear.
Damn it, it's that crazy woman again!
Queen Medusa beckoned seductively with her finger, "Little snake, come here."
The two heads of the two fire spirit snake looked at each other, but still obediently swam over, letting Queen Medusa stroke their heads.
"We are both magical beasts. I only attacked you because I had no other choice. This time, you are not allowed to make any moves."
The two-headed fire spirit snake nodded repeatedly. It had already witnessed the woman's strength, and naturally dared not have any more thoughts now, otherwise it would be beaten again.
However, upon seeing Jiang Cheng, this human, the two-headed fire spirit snake cast a puzzled look at him. How could this human have come here?
Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at the enormous creature in front of him, saying, "The bloodline of this two-headed fire spirit snake is too low. It is not suitable as a spirit pet at all. Forget it, let it stay here."

Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent: "???"
Have you no manners?
Indeed, this two-headed fire spirit serpent's greatest opportunity lies in the magma here, and in the future, it can only break through to the sixth-tier magical beast level. Compared to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the difference is like heaven and earth.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng didn't intend to take it as his mount.
Queen Medusa, with one hand on her hip, said, "How do you plan to get down? Without a tail, my speed will be slower."
Jiang Cheng smiled, and as his battle aura surged forth like a raging torrent, the two-headed fire spirit serpent recognized the human's strength and immediately returned to the magma, only daring to show its two heads.
Because there were spatial barriers around the strange fire, tearing through space to enter wasn't easy. So, he simply tore through space with Queen Medusa to reach the outside of the Azure Lotus Throne, which intermittently saved a lot of time.
"Queen Medusa, I must apologize for the impropriety. Due to spatial limitations, and the fact that you haven't yet broken through to the Dou Zong realm, this is the only way."
"What?"
Before she could react, Jiang Cheng suddenly swept her up in a princess carry. Queen Medusa was quite light, weighing only about 80 pounds. Because of the sudden attack, her arms instinctively wrapped around Jiang Cheng's neck. A
strong, milky scent wafted over.
Medusa blushed and said, "You lecherous scoundrel, you've done this to me again!"
"I had no choice, you're too weak."
Jiang Cheng tore open the space before him, stepping inside under the astonished gaze of the two-headed fire spirit snake. As the shattered spatial walls disappeared, the two vanished without a trace, as if they had never been there.
Even the two-headed fire spirit snake was bewildered. What had just happened?
Teleportation?!
Countless meters below the magma, the two slowly emerged from the void.
The temperature here was almost hot enough to ignite any flint. The fiery red magma was nowhere to be seen; instead, it was a blue magma, hundreds of times hotter than ordinary flames.
Protected by Jiang Cheng's Dou Qi, Queen Medusa was unharmed, feeling a cool and comfortable sensation.
"Is this the birthplace of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?"
Jiang Cheng frowned, gazing ahead.
Before them, azure light enveloped the magma. Within the azure light, a graceful azure lotus flower stood.
Returning to this place, Queen Medusa couldn't help but be moved. She had suffered greatly to obtain the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, and now it had become someone else's gift.
However, she was about to break through to the Dou Zong realm, so it could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Queen Medusa licked her alluring red lips, looking at Jiang Cheng's clean neck. If she tasted Jiang Cheng's blood, she wondered if she could directly advance to the Dou Zong realm?
Feeling the intense light, Jiang Cheng turned around and saw Medusa staring at his neck like a vampire. He warned her,
"I advise you to abandon your evil thoughts. My blood is far beyond your capacity to withstand."
