C104 (1/2)

The scorching lava lake calmed down once more as the bird and snake disappeared into the distance.

Cang Yun withdrew the aura from his entire body as he rushed towards the surface of the magma lake …

In the distance, the sound of a spirit beast battle could be heard. Cang Yun turned a deaf ear to it and looked at the fire lotus in the middle of the lake with a burning gaze. He was extremely excited.

Before the fire snake returned, this was his only chance!

Within the magma, the fire lotus was in full bloom. Not only did the battle between the two spirit beasts not disturb the fire lotus, but the blood that came out of the fire serpent was just being absorbed by it, causing it to be even more crystal clear.

In front of the treasure, it was incomparably tempting!

However, when Cang Yun saw the green smoke coming out of the magma, he was momentarily troubled. This magma was boiling hot, and one could already feel the scorching heat coming from it before they had even touched it. With Cang Yun's current cultivation, there was no way he could withstand such heat!

After a moment of hesitation, Cang Yun took out the dark black short sword he used before. This was the best quality sword in his collection, so he used it to test the temperature of the lava.

”Chi!”

The short sword reached into the magma and immediately shook gently. The Origin Power that was attached to the short sword lasted for only a breath's time before it was completely swallowed. Following which, the short sword gradually turned red and slowly melted.

”Hiss!”

Cang Yun inhaled a breath of cool air and swiftly pulled the short sword out. Within a short period of time, the short sword had already revealed a slight change in its shape. It was a sign that it had melted!

Terrifying!

Cang Yun's heart sank to the bottom. With such a temperature, there was no way his source energy could resist it. If he were to go down, he feared that he would be burnt to ashes in just a few breaths of time!

”What should I do …” Do I have to give up? ” Cang Yun frowned deeply. A deep unwillingness surfaced on his delicate and pretty face.

Such a treasure was right in front of their eyes, yet they were going to miss it. No one would be willing to accept this kind of situation.

”So what if I don't give up? ”My source energy is simply unable to stop the devouring of the magma. This magma can even melt steel swords, there's really no other way …”

Cang Yun ruthlessly shook his head. He originally thought that this was a great opportunity, but in the end, he still failed and returned. Such a disparity made him extremely disappointed.

He helplessly shook his head and hesitated for a moment before preparing to leave.

Clatter!

However, just as he took a step forward, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks.

”Wait. Although this magma can melt the steel sword, it will take a long time. In other words, as long as its strength is sufficient, it will be able to endure in the magma for a period of time …”

Cang Yun's eyes lit up. With a thought, a dark golden star puppet appeared beside him.

”My Star Puppet has been tempered and merged with the Goldstar Saliva. Its body's strength far surpasses that of the steel sword. If it were to descend … Can you hold on? ” A light flashed through Cang Yun's eyes. It was as if he had found a ray of hope in his despair, and it lifted his spirits!

”Star Puppet, go!”

This was the only hope he had. As soon as he thought of it, Cang Yun led the Star Puppet to the lava lake. Then, he extended a finger and carefully dove into the lava.

No change, no sound. After a few breaths of time, Cang Yun asked the Star Puppet to retract its finger with a nervous heart.

Cang Yun carefully observed …

”Haha, it's fine, I blocked it!”

In the next moment, Cang Yun laughed out loud. He discovered that the Star Puppet that had persisted for several breaths of time did not show any signs of melting. The dark golden skin was still glowing, indicating that the Star Puppet could completely block the temperature of the magma!

BOOM!

A bird and a snake were battling in the distance. The sound waves became even more violent. Obviously, the battle between the two had already entered the white-hot stage. It wouldn't be long before the victor would be decided.

Cang Yun's expression changed slightly as he became anxious.

”Star Puppet, attack!”

With an order, the Star Puppet jumped into the magma lake.

Dong!

The lava was viscous and heavy. When the Star Puppet jumped in, not a single ripple was produced. Its entire body very quickly began to sink down.

However, the expression on Cang Yun's face changed. At this moment, the temperature of the lava permeated through the Star Puppet's skin and into the inner regions. That strand of his soul instantly felt a scorching heat.

Fortunately, the Star Puppet's skin blocked most of the heat, and only a small part of it was transmitted into the body. Cang Yun's soul could barely endure this heat. Of course, pain was inevitable.

Cang Yun gritted his teeth, ignored the pain coming from his soul, and focused on controlling the Star Puppet to swim towards the fire lotus.

This process didn't go smoothly …

The lava was incomparably heavy and the resistance was extremely great. The Star Puppet had to use all of its strength in order to slowly swim within it. And this process, the consumption of the Star Puppet was naturally incomparably fast.

Just by swimming a few meters away from the Star Puppet, Cang Yun's soul could feel that the Origin Crystal in the Star Puppet's body had dimmed a little. If this continued, Cang Yun wasn't sure if he would be able to retrieve the fire lotus.

However, he did not turn around to shoot. Since he had already decided, Cang Yun would naturally not give up so easily. Without any other thoughts, he continued to control the Star Puppet to move forward!
