2982 Another One Bites The Dus (2/2)

”I did not even bother to find out. I am too good for that guy,” the pink candle dragon proudly declared.

Gu Xijiu was perplexed by its reply, and she knew that she would have to explain her reasoning to the creature. ”Silly, I need your help to sense its presence so that we can avoid it.” She was equipped with the ability to teleport, so if the black candle dragon was really coming their way, she could easily teleport them to safety and keep Fan Qianshi away.

At this point, her power was not on par with Fan Qianshi's. Moreover, her two companions were injured. Hence, a head-on fight should be avoided at all costs.

The pink candle dragon understood her intention now, so it agreed to help.

After taking a moment to sense the black candle dragon's presence, it responded with utter surprise, ”I can sense that it is somewhere beneath the ground, but it is moving in a direction that is getting further and further away from us.”

”Have your senses failed you before?” Gu Xijiu had to make sure.

”No, at least not so far.”

…

Red-hot magma could be seen boiling with bubbles beneath the surface. Getting too close would roast and burn almost anyone to death.

Fan Qianshi was standing next to a stream of magma, along with Little Black. ”Are you sure that they are hiding here?” It was the one who showed him the way.

Little Black firmly responded, ”Yes.”

Fan Qianshi was quite puzzled, for he had not dealt with Gu Xijiu enough to know that she possessed the ability to survive in magma. However, he chose to believe that Little Black's instruction was correct.

”Wait for me here. I will get down there to check it out.” Fan Qianshi gave Little Black a gentle tap before diving into the burning hot liquid.

Little Black's emotionless face suddenly broke into a smile.

It was certainly unhappy with its master right now.

He promised to keep Little Pink alive but ended up going against his own words. The pink creature had to suffer the pain of being turned into a hedgehog!
