BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 118: The Twin-Headed Fire Spirit Snake

"This is it," Gu He said with assurance after closely investigating the flat desert area once again using his spiritual power.

"Qing Lin, stand behind me," Gu He instructed, looking at Qing Lin.

In response to his words, Qing Lin obediently nodded and took shelter behind Gu He.

With a thought, Gu He extended his hand, and the Primal Origin Divine Fire immediately appeared in his palm. He then manipulated the purple flames in his hand, which resembled a fire dragon, to descend directly into the desert below.

Gu He pointed his palm at the target area, and an endless stream of purple flames spewed from his hand, surging towards the ground.

Soon, under the burning of the purple flames, a pit appeared in front of Gu He.

A slight smile appeared on Gu He's lips, and he continued to increase the intensity of the flames. The raging fire surged deeper into the pit. As time passed, the pit deepened, reaching a depth of about four to five meters.

Gu He, holding Qing Lin, leaped into the deep pit. He floated in mid-air, continuing to release flames towards the ground below.

As Gu He delved deeper, the surrounding fire elemental energy grew increasingly concentrated.

"Qing Lin, if you feel you can't endure it, let me know," Gu He said, lowering his head and speaking in a low voice.

"Okay," Qing Lin immediately nodded in response.

Gu He glanced at Qing Lin's face, and it seemed that the high-temperature fire elemental energy in the area didn't affect her in any unusual way.

After instructing Qing Lin, Gu He intensified the flames and continued his descent into the tunnel.

After a while, the tunnel extended another few meters downwards.

At this point, Qing Lin's face, held in Gu He's arms, became somewhat pale. She was beginning to find it difficult to endure the high temperatures here.

Seeing this, Gu He activated the Xuanbing Saint Armor on his body. Threads of glacial energy circulated over his body, counteracting the fire elemental energy pervading the area. This relieved Qing Lin's discomfort.

Continuing a little further, Gu He's face finally revealed a hint of joy. He could feel that the route for his Primal Fire to circulate inside his body had automatically begun accelerating without any input from him. This indicated that the fire elemental energy below had reached an extremely dense state.

After a while, something seemed to connect in front of Gu He, and a red light suddenly entered his field of vision.

"We've arrived!" Gu He exclaimed when he saw the red light, his eyes lighting up.

In the next moment, a fiery red world appeared entirely before Gu He's eyes.

Inside a vast cavern, molten lava flowed slowly, and occasionally, huge bubbles rose from the lava. After a while, with a faint sound, they burst open, and the scorching lava erupted from the burst bubbles, resembling a magnificent red firework.

Gu He held Qing Lin in his arms, floating in the air, and both of them looked at the seemingly endless world of molten lava. In awe, they couldn't help but swallow hard.

"I never thought... there would be such a terrifying place underground outside of Stone Desert City."

Gu He's body was enveloped in a layer of blue light, and his expression was filled with amazement.

"Yeah, what a spectacular world of underground magma..."

Qing Lin's body was also wrapped in a layer of blue light, allowing her to withstand the intense heat from the lava.

"Teacher, I... I feel like that presence might have gone beneath this lava..." Qing Lin said as she sensed her surroundings.

Gu He had long anticipated this and nodded slightly when he heard her words.

Looking at the endless lava below, Qing Lin's face paled a bit.

Who could have entered the molten lava underground?

Wasn't that person afraid of dying?

She thought with a hint of fear.

Suddenly, Qing Lin noticed that Gu He's gaze had been fixed on the area below for quite some time. She tightened her expression and asked in concern, "Teacher, you're not planning to go down there, are you?"

Gu He nodded. "Yes."

At his response, Qing Lin's face tensed even more, and she worriedly asked, "Teacher, aren't you afraid of the heat down there?"

Gu He, his surface covered by a layer of blue light, reassured her, "Don't worry; this underground magma can't harm me."

However, after seeing Qing Lin's concern, Gu He held her in his arms and activated the Heaven Ascension Steps technique, returning to the desert surface. From there, he went back to the Mercenary Group room.

"Stay here and wait for me, my dear. I'll be back soon," Gu He said as he suddenly disappeared from the room.

When Gu He reappeared, he found himself once again above the molten magma. He surveyed the molten world below and began to ponder. He remembered that there was a Duel Spirit-level Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake in this place, and it seemed to know the hiding place of the Blue Lotus Heartfire.

This Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake might be their guide to quickly find the Blue Lotus Heartfire's location. Therefore, Gu He needed to attract the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake and subdue it before it could react.

As he flew through the air, Gu He couldn't help but feel the vastness of this cavern. The flowing molten magma around him had almost formed a massive magma lake.

Occasionally, a scorching wave of heat surged, causing a pillar of molten rock to shoot up from the lake. Gu He activated the Xuanbing Holy Armor to protect himself from the splashing lava.

While observing the molten world below, Gu He couldn't help but wonder how Medusa had entered this place so easily and successfully taken the green lotus core flame. Could she have used a Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake as her guide as well?

He was lost in thought when suddenly his expression changed slightly. His gaze swept over the molten lake below. "Finally, it's here!" Gu He thought. He maintained his composure, concealing his aura as the calm surface of the molten lake erupted with a loud noise. In an instant, countless streams of searing molten lava shot up, and a massive and mysterious creature burst from the molten lake. With lightning speed, it lunged towards Gu He, poised to attack.

Gu He looked at the creature and couldn't help but smile coldly. "You've arrived, but you won't be leaving!"
