Chapter 96: The Nest of a Phoenix (2/2)

However, as she descended along the wall of the pit, what she saw brought her heart to her mouth instantly.

It turned out that there was a pool of magma at the bottom of that pit. Except for some rocks floating on the surface, there was nothing for her to stand on.

If common people came here, they would surely be suffocated, if not roasted, by the blazing air.

That spotted snake coiled up at the entrance, seeming to be on guard.

The moment it saw Yun Wu landed, the spotted snake opened its giant, hideous-fanged mouth and abruptly came at her.

”Damn it!”

Yun Wu dodged the attack almost instinctively and then leaped onto a floating rock in the magma pool.

On her sudden landing, the rock jerked, magma splashing.

A couple of droplets of magma splattered across the spotted snake that was hurtling towards her. Its skin spat, giving off smell of burning flesh, and it abruptly drew back.

The heat of the magma was undoubtedly terrifying.

After regaining her footing, Yun Wu was also somewhat amazed.

The temperature of the magma in this pool was several times higher than that of the magma in the pool in that forbidden area where that Red Fire Dragon lived.

Yun Wu felt as if her body was being roasted, even if she was merely standing above the surface of the magma.

However, to her surprise, her whole right hand didn't feel the heat at all, as if the residual Primal Fire in her blood was enough to counteract the scorching heat of the magma.

But right at this moment.

”Ah...”

A shrill, pained yell suddenly came from the depths of a cave near the magma pool.

”Hiss... ” Somewhat restless, that spotted snake frighteningly stared at Yun Wu, letting out seemingly threatening hisses.

It seemed to be warning her that she was not allowed to go inside.
