C102 (1/2)

Within the fiery red magma lake, a touch of green swayed with the wind. Its frail body seemed so serene under the raging flames.

Such a fragile and strong, beautiful life, it made people feel tender and lovable.

”This fire lotus is at least a fourth rank fire lotus. Furthermore, the lotus seed is full and ripe. We can pick it now!” Cang Yun's eyes flickered. It seemed as if the interior was burning with flames as hot as the magma before him.

Grade four elixirs were already priceless heavenly materials. Even Nihility God Stage experts would fight over this kind of elixir to the point of losing blood. This was because its medicinal effects could greatly enhance the cultivation of Nihility God Stage experts, it was extremely precious!

Moreover, this fire lotus was different from ordinary fourth-grade spirit medicines. It was born in endless magma and had absorbed far too much fire energy. Thus, for a martial artist that cultivated a fire attribute cultivation method, its value would increase by several times.

Although Cang Yun didn't cultivate fire attribute skills, he was still very envious. With this fire lotus, his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, and he would have more confidence in taking the Immortal Palace test later.

But the question is, how do you get it?

Cang Yun frowned slightly. There was nothing blocking the magma lake, so why wasn't there a spirit beast discovering this heavenly resource?

Furthermore, even if they hadn't been discovered before, it was impossible for the spirit beasts to not have noticed it when the fire lotuses had matured and caused the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy to fluctuate. However, no spirit beasts had come to fight for it.

The only explanation was that the fire lotus had not been discovered yet. It had long since been seized by an existence and this existence must be extremely powerful. The other spirit beasts did not dare to fight with it for it!

However, there were no plants or vegetation around him, and there was no sign of a spirit beast at all. So how was it supposed to protect the fire lotus?

”Could it be …”

In the next moment, Cang Yun stared at the lava below the fire lotus and made a guess.

Weng! *

Just at this moment, there was a sudden movement in the quiet magma lake. Layers of ripples spread out from the surroundings of the fire lotus. As the magma surged, an extraordinary aura seemed to emerge from the bottom of the lake.

Cang Yun quickly retreated and within a few breaths of time, he hid behind an ancient tree at the end of the rock. He then carefully peeked his head out and looked towards the lava lake.

At that spot, a huge snake head slowly emerged from the magma. Its long thin tongue flitted about in the air for a long while before slowly sinking back into the magma.

”Phew …” Seeing the lava lake return to its calm state, Cang Yun finally heaved a sigh of relief as cold sweat broke out on his back. If he had been slightly slower just now, he would have been discovered by that fire snake.

Although he had only seen the head of a snake, its aura was so strong that it caused one's heart to palpitate.

”Looks like I will not be able to obtain this fire lotus …”

After a while, Cang Yun calmed down and shook his head helplessly. With such a powerful Fire Serpent protecting him, the chances of him wanting to devour his food through the mouth of a tiger were practically zero.

Moreover, the fire lotus had already matured. It was likely that the fire snake would soon devour it. If he wanted to scheme, he would not have much time.
