C104 (2/2)

Time slowly passed. Gradually, Cang Yun could sense the ripples caused by the great battle between a bird and a snake in the distance. It was obvious that they had become weaker. This scenario caused Cang Yun to be extremely anxious. He knew that the victor of this battle was about to be decided.

At this moment, the Star Puppet was still ten Zhang away from the fire lotus.

The temperature of the lava was even higher than before. Cang Yun's soul felt an unprecedented pain, as if the raging flames could be extinguished at any moment. As his mind was connected to his body, Cang Yun's body was also suffering.

Cang Yun's face became a little distorted under the rain of sweat.

”Faster, a bit faster!”

However, Cang Yun didn't care about it at all. He forcefully suppressed the pain in his soul and crazily activated his Star Puppet.

If he succeeded, Cang Yun would be able to reap endless benefits. However, if he failed, not only would the pain he suffered be in vain, the Star Puppet would also be buried in a sea of fire. Especially the latter, it was his most precious treasure right now.

Thirty meters, ninety meters …

As the Star Puppet got closer, Cang Yun's heart was in his throat. He could feel that half of the Star Puppet's energy reserves had already been used up. If this continued, he might lose this powerful helper of his.

However, he still did not hesitate!

30 feet, 10 feet … He had arrived!

Cang Yun did not dare to delay at all as he immediately controlled his Star Puppet to start harvesting the lotus!

Swish!

Star Puppet grabbed the fire lotus root and pulled with force, directly uprooting the fire lotus.

However, at this time, Cang Yun couldn't care about anything else. Time was his life, and because he could no longer sense any fluctuations in the battle, there was a high chance that the battle was over, so he didn't dare to delay any longer!

In the next moment, Cang Yun controlled the Star Puppet and swiftly returned.

”Hmm?”

The moment that the Star Puppet moved, Cang Yun discovered something that surprised him. As the fire lotus entered his hands, the resistance of the Star Puppet in the magma clearly weakened a lot, as if there was a mysterious force rippling out from the fire lotus, separating it from the magma pressure by half.

Cang Yun was overjoyed. In that case, the energy of the Star Puppet would be enough to support his return.

The Star Puppet continuously swam with its full strength, and just like that, another incense stick of time passed. Under Cang Yun's nervous and excited gaze, the Star Puppet finally jumped out of the magma lake.

”Alright!”

Cang Yun took the fire lotus from the Star Puppet's hands and gave it a cursory glance. After which, he placed it into the medicine box that he had prepared earlier. With a thought, he stored it into his spatial ring.

BOOM!

However, at this moment, an enormous body rapidly flew back along the canyon, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake wherever it passed.

”Oh no, that fire serpent is back!”

Cang Yun's expression changed drastically as a thought flashed through his mind at the speed of lightning. With the fire snake's speed, it would be able to make it in just a few breaths' time, and if it discovered that the fire lotus had been stolen, it would chase crazily. With Cang Yun's speed, it would be impossible for him to escape the fire snake in a few breaths' time.

If running away was suicidal, then there was only one way!

”Let the Star Puppet escape first to attract the attention of the fire serpents. When the fire serpents chase after them, I will run in the opposite direction. Only then will I have a slim chance of survival!”

In a split-second, Cang Yun could only think of this method. The difference in strength was too great. If he didn't lose the car to protect the commander, he would die without a doubt!

Although the Star Puppet was of great help to him, if he lost his life, then no matter how valuable the treasure was, it would be meaningless. Moreover, the Star Puppet could be refined again, so he could just refine another one in the future.

This was the only way!

In the next moment, Cang Yun gritted his teeth and ordered his Star Puppet to fly in a direction. Cang Yun could feel a powerful aura coming from that direction. If the Fire Snake caught up, he might even be able to give it a surprise!

As for Cang Yun, he had arrived in the forest not far away with a few flashes. He did his best to hide his presence behind an ancient tree.

”Roar!”

At this time, the fire snake finally returned. In its bloody mouth, it was swallowing the fire bird that it was fighting against just now. The fire bird was dying in its mouth, and it didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Fire Snake had obtained victory in this battle. Although its body was covered in blood and it had suffered heavy injuries, it was still holding its head high as if it was very happy. As long as the fire snake devoured this Fire Bird, and with the help of the fire lotus, not only would it be able to recover from its injuries, but it would also be able to break through its cultivation. Both of these factors made it an invincible existence in this space, so it was naturally extremely happy …

”Hiss!”

However, in the next moment, the Fire Snake was suddenly struck dumb. It stared at the empty surface of the magma lake and was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.

Then, the Fire Snake spat out the Fire Bird in its mouth. With a hissing sound, its huge tail suddenly hit a rock next to it.

BOOM!

In that instant, the mountains and rivers shook, dirt and rocks flew everywhere, and the fiery snake's slender snake of faith danced wildly in the sky. It was enraged to the extreme!

Roar!

Suddenly, it sensed an aura that was escaping in front of it. With a twist of its huge tail, it turned into a stream of light that was hard to see with the naked eye and chased after it with lightning speed …
