Chapter 394: Chapter 386: Do You Want to Become the Bull Demon King?_1

At this moment, Qin Niu felt a scorching heat wave rushing toward him, blowing out from deeper within the cave.

He instinctively looked toward the deeper parts of the cave.

Because he had entered more than 200 meters into the cave, his current position was very dark.

In fact, just after entering about 20 meters into the cave, the light had already become very dim.

He noticed that there was a faint red light shimmering ahead.

It was like the glow brought by flames.

But there was a difference between this and the light emitted by fire. Flames usually flicker and leap, but the red light ahead was quite stable.

At this moment, standing in the deep and dark cave and seeing the red light before him, most people would have been scared off running for their lives.

In these deep mountains, and particularly within a secret cave, it was easy for demons and ghosts to lurk.

Qin Niu, who was meticulous in thinking, deduced from the magma rocks outside the cave and the tracks of a fire bird entering the cave that there was likely hot magma inside.

Taking Green Ox with him, he continued to feel his way towards the depths of the cave.

He was determined to see just how deep this cave was and what was inside.

If he was lucky, he might even come across some heavenly and earthly treasures.

As he proceeded further, after walking about 150 to 160 meters and taking two turns, he finally saw the source of the red light.

He saw a burning mass of hot magma before him.

There wasn’t the imagined magma lake or river formed by magma. It felt more like a ‘marsh’ of magma.

Part of the ground in front had been melted away, forming a semi-liquid state of magma.

One could see the dark red glow emitting from the ground.

Qin Niu, still more than fifty meters away from the magma marshland, could already feel the burning heat beneath his feet. By the light of the magma, he could also vaguely make out some of the scene inside the cave.

The magma marshland ahead seemed to stretch for a great length; there was no end in sight.

Qin Niu was just a mortal with a physical body and not particularly strong cultivation, and he was incapable of withstanding the flames.

He could only look on and not proceed any further.

“Moo!”

Green Ox raised its neck and let out a moaning cry.

“You want to go in?”

Qin Niu turned his head to look at Green Ox beside him.

“Moo!”

It seemed like it really did want to go in.

“Curiosity killed the cow! Don’t ask for trouble. If you get stuck in there, I simply don’t have the ability to save you.”

Qin Niu knew this Green Ox was no ordinary beast.

It might be able to resist high temperatures to some extent.

Green Ox was quite stubborn.

It headed directly towards the inside, and the scorching ground seemed to cause it no harm.

Qin Niu stood still and watched.

With the King Pig Leather Armor on his body, and his Innate Realm cultivation, he could barely enter the 50 meters of magma marshland ahead, but he couldn’t stay long. Once he went in, he had to come back out immediately.

If he was slow to retreat, he would be burned alive inside.

After Green Ox entered the area of the magma marshland, a hint of green light could be seen swirling under its hooves, protecting them.

The ground there was as soft as Qin Niu had imagined.

As soon as one stepped on it, they would immediately sink down.

Green Ox was smart; before its hooves sank completely, it quickly lifted them up and galloped forward.

This principle was somewhat similar to the light body technique called ‘water striding’.

As long as the speed was fast enough, even walking on the surface of water wouldn’t result in falling through.

Qin Niu didn’t know why Green Ox was so insistent on going deeper into the cave.

It’s silhouette turned around the next bend, and soon it was out of sight.

Just as Qin Niu began to worry about it, it wasn’t long before it turned around and came back out.

Its fur was burnt and curled.

It turned into a curly-haired ox.

Looking at its embarrassed appearance, Qin Niu felt both amused and slightly concerned about its condition.

“You aren’t burned, are you?”

When it ran back, Qin Niu touched its head and back, asking about its condition.

“Moo!”
