Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

"Xiao Yanzi, follow the direction guided by our souls."

"Yes!"

Xiao Yan responded in a serious voice, and then he saw a ray of light spreading towards the depths of the magma in his soul vision. Xiao Yan held Cai Lin in his arms, maintaining the protection of the strange fire around him, and tried his best to swim quickly in the magma towards the direction of the light.

The deeper he went into the magma, the heavier the pressure on his body became. The dull feeling of oppression made him grit his teeth, trying hard to maintain the strange fire protection and prevent it from collapsing.

"Xiao Yanzi! Hold on a little longer! We'll be there soon!"

Yao Chen also sensed Xiao Yan's pressure and encouraged him. Xiao Yan also tensed his body and held Cai Lin with increasing strength. He endured the increasing pressure and tried his best to swim deeper into the magma.

If Xiao Yan had not absorbed the Earth Core Tempering Milk a few days ago, which greatly improved his physique, he would probably have collapsed.

However, as long as one is a human, there will always be limits, and Xiao Yan is no exception.

Even though Xiao Yan could endure more than an ordinary person, the huge pressure made it difficult for him to breathe, and his swimming speed became slower and slower.

Until the end, Xiao Yan was almost unconscious, relying entirely on his strength to follow the pull of Yao Chen's soul.

When Xiao Yan was about to faint again, the red color in front of his eyes finally changed. He suddenly felt a coolness all over his body, which made Xiao Yan lose consciousness for a moment. He instinctively protected Cai Lin and fell heavily on the black rock.

"Haaaa! Haaaa! Haaaa!"

Freed from the heavy pressure of the magma, Xiao Yan kept gasping for breath, his eyes full of fear.

If it was a few seconds later, I would have suffocated to death!

After all, I am a fighting king. It would be too embarrassing to be suffocated to death.

After panting for a long time, Xiao Yan's breathing gradually calmed down, and he had time to observe where he was at the moment.

As far as the eye could see was a huge black rock, with red magma flowing around it and a natural barrier formed by black rocks above it. Looking closely, he found that there was a lava waterfall flowing where he had just come down, pouring into the lava river in this space.

"I never thought there would be such a cave under the magma."

Xiao Yan murmured in a low voice, and then a cold and beautiful voice that made his heart suddenly tighten came out from his arms.

"How long do you plan to hold me in your arms?"

Chapter 511 Salamander

？ ！！

Xiao Yan was startled suddenly. He looked down and met the golden snake's eyes. Before Xiao Yan could react, his body was thrown out.

Xiao Yan narrowed one eye slightly, supported himself on the ground in some pain, looked at the beautiful snake wrapped in a cloak and stood up, and greeted her awkwardly.

"Cai Lin, you're awake!"

Cai Lin was not at all happy with Xiao Yan. She stared at him coldly and wrapped her cloak tighter around her body, which only made her tempting body more prominent.

In fact, she had already woken up when Xiao Yan was swimming in the magma, but she didn't make a sound.

Because Cai Lin found that she inexplicably enjoyed the feeling of being protected by Xiao Yan in his arms. The sense of security that there was someone standing in front of her even if the sky fell made Cai Lin intoxicated but also uncomfortable.

As the queen of the snake people, she has always been the one protecting the snake people. Everyone relies on her for protection, and she has long been accustomed to standing in front of her people to face all dangers.

This seemed to be the first time she was protected by someone.

Just now she was still hesitating whether to continue pretending to sleep and enjoy the feeling of being protected a little longer, but the moment this thought came to her mind, Cai Lin felt ashamed.

I am the queen of the snake people! I have always been the only one protecting others, so how can it be someone else's turn to protect me? !

"Where is this?"

Cai Lin asked in a cold voice as if to change the subject, and Xiao Yan answered truthfully.

"This is deeper into the magma. Senior Yao said that we can have some time to recover here." After saying that, Xiao Yan stood up and looked at Cai Lin sincerely, "Cai Lin, I heard from Senior Yao that when I was unconscious, thank you for your desperate protection. I owe you a favor."

Xiao Yan thanked Cai Lin solemnly. Cai Lin saw Xiao Yan's serious eyes, was silent for a while, and then turned her head away.

"Humph! If you hadn't taken the initiative, why would I have done this?! Just one favor is not enough to repay you!"

"Haa." Xiao Yan scratched his face with a wry smile, raised his hand and said, "Anyway, let's recuperate here for a while, and then find a way to get out."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Cai Lin frowned in displeasure but did not refute him. From the current perspective, this was indeed the best decision.

Afterwards, the two of them sat down and began to regulate their breathing. With the help of Xiao Yan's elixirs, they had recovered to their peak condition in just half a day.

"Senior Yao, how do you want to repair your soul?"

"It's a bit troublesome for us to recover, let's talk about it after we get out." Yao Chen showed up, put his hands behind his back and looked around the space, suddenly he noticed something, his brows furrowed, "Xiao Yanzi, be alert, there is something in the magma."

"Um?!"

Yao Chen's words made Xiao Yan and Cai Lin concentrate. They looked at the flowing magma and squinted their eyes slightly. They could vaguely see that the magma was surging slightly, and it seemed that there were indeed creatures swimming inside.

Under the gaze of the three people, the magma suddenly churned up, and a creature leaped up and stood on the black rock. The three people also saw the full appearance of the creature clearly.

The red body was covered with fiery red scales, and the scaly tail, about half a foot long, was swinging the magma. The unusually broad feet supported the rock, the upper body stood upright, and the extremely sharp claws were placed on both sides of the body.

There are two narrow eye sockets on the round head, the tiny pupils look very dangerous, and the wide mouth is full of sharp teeth, as if it can tear even steel into pieces.

It is obvious that this creature is not a human being, but rather more like a fiery red lizard that can walk upright.

Yao Chen was also stunned. She had been traveling in Zhongzhou for so many years, but she had never seen or even heard of this creature before.

"I never thought there would be such strange creatures under the magma."

Yao Chen sighed while pinching his chin lightly. Xiao Yan looked at the fierce gaze of the fiery red lizard and chuckled softly.

"Senior Yao, now is not the time to sigh. It doesn't seem to be very friendly."

"hiss!!!"

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the fiery red lizard suddenly bared its teeth, and then pounced towards Xiao Yan like red lightning.

So fast!

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and he instantly dodged the attack from the fiery red lizard by moving sideways. When he was about to fight back, a jade fist suddenly hit the fiery red lizard's head, causing its head to explode.

This scene made Xiao Yan's heart tremble slightly. He watched Cai Lin slowly retract her bloody fist and swallowed instinctively.

"Cai Lin, thank you, thank you."

"Humph!"

Cai Lin still snorted coldly and didn't say anything else, which made Xiao Yan a little confused about what the Queen meant. Yao Chen urged.

"Xiao Yanzi, dissect this lizard. There might be something good inside."

"Yes."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, squatted down next to the fire red lizard, and used the black claws in his hands to cut open the fire red lizard whose head had been blown off. After some dismemberment, Xiao Yan turned out a red bead from the fire red lizard's body that was smaller than a regular pill.

"Wow~ Such pure fire energy!" Yao Chen couldn't help but exclaimed as he approached the scarlet bead, "It's even purer than the fire energy of magma. I guess it's because this monster feeds on magma on a daily basis, and it takes many years to accumulate this energy."

Feeds on magma.

When Xiao Yan heard Yao Chen's words, his expression became a little strange. Just thinking about it made him feel sick.

"Senior Yao, is this useful?"

"This power is too pure and violent. Others may not be able to absorb it, but you who possess the strange fire will have no problem. Don't underestimate this small bead. The fire energy contained in it is equivalent to two days of your practice." Yao Chen said, shrugging slightly, "Although the effect is good, this one bead is not of much use."

"Is it."

Xiao Yan sighed with some regret. He came to the inner courtyard this time just to improve his strength as quickly as possible. No matter which method he used, if this fiery red bead could help him improve quickly, it would not be a wasted trip. It was a pity that according to Yao Chen's words, one bead was too little.

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly clenched the fiery red bead, as if he heard some noise, and turned to look at the magma.

One after another fiery red figures were seen swimming on the magma, and then they jumped out of the magma and stood on the rocks, staring at Xiao Yan and Cai Lin menacingly.

They are all fire red lizards, and there are at least twenty of them!

"Oh! It's true that someone brings a pillow just when you feel sleepy." Yao Chen pointed with joy in his eyes, "Xiao Yanzi, take them all. Since they came to us on their own, it's not our fault."

"Yes!"

Xiao Yan's eyes also flashed with excitement. He took out the Xuan Zhong Ruler from the storage ring and rushed towards those fiery red lizards with the Xuan Zhong Ruler in hand.

Cai Lin watched Xiao Yan's actions without saying a word. She just followed him silently and dealt with those fiery red lizards together with Xiao Yan.

Although those fiery red lizards can feed on magma, their strength is at most low-level Dou Wang. It is easy for Xiao Yan and Cai Lin to deal with them.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yan and Cai Lin stopped and looked at the pile of corpses of the fiery red lizards. Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel helpless.

Although there were only more than twenty of them at the beginning, it seemed that they could not be killed all. As soon as one was dealt with, another one emerged from the lava, causing the corpses of the fire red lizards to pile up so high that it looked like there were at least a hundred of them.

To be honest, this is only the case for Xiao Yan and Cai Lin. If it were a peak Dou Huang or low-level Dou Zong, it would be difficult to deal with being besieged by so many fiery red lizards.

"Cai Lin, thank you very much."

Xiao Yan thanked Cai Lin again. Cai Lin hugged her arms, revealing a ray of spring light under her black robe, and said in a cold voice.

"Don't expect me to help you dissect the body, do it yourself."

"Well, that's natural."

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly. Not to mention that he didn't have that intention, even if he did, how could he dare to order Cai Lin?

Afterwards, Xiao Yan rolled up his sleeves and started to do the hard labor, taking out the red beads from the bodies of those fiery red lizards one by one. Cai Lin stood by and watched silently throughout the process.

Just after Xiao Yan took out the fiery red bead from the body of the last fiery red lizard, a female voice that sounded free and easy and generous suddenly sounded in his heart.

[Not bad~]

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yao Chen, "Senior Yao, were you the one who was talking just now?"

"Huh? What did the Master say?"

Yao Chen was also stunned for a moment. She had just been standing there with her hands behind her back and had not done anything.

At this moment, the voice sounded again.

This time, not only Xiao Yan heard it, Yao Chen and Cai Lin also heard it.

[Let’s put that girl aside, I never expected that you, a Dou Wang, could deal with the fire lizard so easily.]

! ! ! ! !

Yao Chen and Cai Lin were suddenly shocked, and Xiao Yan also frowned.

So there are other people under this magma? !

Chapter 512: The Generous Woman Yao Tianhuo

[Hahaha~ Don’t be so nervous, it’s just that I haven’t seen a living person in a long time, I think I scared you a little, sorry~]

The sound came from all directions, causing Yao Chen's eyes to narrow slightly.

A strong soul. Although he could clearly feel her weakness, he couldn't even detect her exact location. She must have been as strong as him or even stronger than him when she was alive!

"Sir, since you have spoken, it means you are willing to talk. How about being frank with me? If you have any requests, it may be possible for this disciple of mine to help you."

[Oh? You are that boy's teacher? You are pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?]

Yao Chen's face was immediately covered with black lines, and he felt a little unhappy.

For so many years, she has been the only one teasing others, so how could others have the right to tease her?

"I'm sorry, I don't have a man yet, and I probably won't have one in the future." Yao Chen's eyes were a little unhappy, "If you don't show up again, we'll leave."

[Hey hey hey! Don't go! It was just a joke! ]

The voice was obviously a little panicked. She had finally waited for someone to come. If she really let him run away, she would probably have to stay here for the rest of her life.

Immediately, wisps of fiery red mist began to spread, and eventually condensed into an illusory spirit body in front of Xiao Yan and the other two. Xiao Yan and the other two also saw the full appearance of the owner of that voice.

His flaming knee-length hair was draped wildly behind him, his bangs covering half of his handsome face, his single eye showing a fiery and arrogant look, his mouth slightly curled up, and on his neck was a black necklace with a red gem hanging under it, revealing a bit of nobility in his wildness.

He was wearing a slightly tattered windbreaker, the edges of which looked as if they had been burned by fire. Inside was a black leather jumpsuit with a fiery red belt, and his feet were wearing black leather boots.

I don’t know if it’s personal interest or something else, but one of the trouser legs of the leather jacket is gone, and a pair of proud long legs like white jade are exposed, but it does not make people feel lustful, but instead makes people feel the boldness of the owner. He has an unruly character and has strange fiery red tattoos on his exposed arms and thighs.

The first impression this woman gives people is [fire], and the second impression is still [fire], as if her entire body is the embodiment of fire.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yao Tianhuo. I am the famous Venerable Skyfire!"

The woman who called herself Yao Tianhuo pointed at herself with her thumbs up. Her heroic self-introduction revealed her arrogance and madness all the time.

When Yao Chen heard Yao Tianhuo's name, he was suddenly stunned.

"Yao Tianhuo?! Are you the Skyfire Master?!"
