Xu Wei and Ah Chun made their way deeper into the Fire Lands. The largest mountain was so big that it looked to be very close but this was not the case. It was just that it was so big that it played tricks on the eyes.As they continued on, Ah Chun and Xu Wei also finally understood why this place was able to kill so many cultivators who ventured into it. Not only did the temperature rise the further you went in but the ground was also very dangerous. One wrong step and you could find yourself sinking into a pool of magma hidden under a thin layer of crust.
One thing they did notice was that there were very little demonic beasts here. So far they had avoided any unnecessary battles but this ended on the third day of their travel within the Fire Lands. Xu Wei had suddenly stopped walking forward causing Ah Chun to ask: "What"s wrong?"
"I feel a vibration underfoot and it is getting stronger even as we speak." Xu Wei replied.
Ah Chun scanned the ground and looked to see if she could spot anything but she was not able to. To her, the ground was so still that not even the hot wind disturbed the ground. It was not until Xu Wei jumped backward and the ground in front of them break apart did Ah Chun finally understand why the ground was so weak in certain places, it was because of this beast in front of them.
In front of them was a thirty meter tall demonic beast with lava flowing all over its body. The thing looked just like a giant worm with a large mouth with rows and rows of sharp teeth. The width of this giant Magma worm was about seven Ah Chun"s standing side by side. It turned its large head and although it had no eyes Ah Chun could tell it was looking right at them.
It let out an ear piercing scream before suddenly shooting a ball of magma at the two. Xu Wei quickly dodged before snorting and drawing his sword from his interspatial ring. He slashed down causing a sword beam to fly straight towards the magma worm.
But to their surprise, even though the sword light sliced right through the magma worm it did not seem to be affected by it in the slightest as the gash quickly closed up as if nothing had ever happened. Xu Wei frowned seeing this. Even Ah Chun had never seen such a demonic beast before.
"Big Brother Xu I think it would be best to run." Ah Chun had a feeling trying to fight such an enemy was not going to be an easy one and was sure that they would end up sustaining many injuries if they tried.
"It seems to be a bit too late..." Xu Wei said, his brow furrowing.
As Xu Wei said these words five more Magma worms just as big and wide as the last, burst through the ground surrounding them. Ah Chun"s face fell seeing this. She truly felt that the Fire Lands was a death trap for those who try to traverse it. What was worse was she could not tell the strength of these magma worms which meant that they were definitely of a higher cultivation than her. Not able to think of any other way out of this situation she did the only thing that came to mind.
"Big Brother Xu the ban on flying is lifted, let"s get out of here." Ah Chun had originally banned flying since she wanted to see the sights but now that they were in a mess she had no choice but to lift the ban.
Xu Wei nodded and quickly went to fly off only to find that he could only hover above the ground a few meters before falling back down. "Seems there is a restriction in place here..." Xu Wei"s cold gaze looked towards the mountain.
"Since there is a restriction on flying then we can just use something that won"t be restricted." Ah Chun quickly summoned Xiao Long out.
"Finally you called me out! Huh? Wait! What the h.e.l.l is this!?" Xiao long looked around him and trembled when he saw the magma worms. "Why did you bring me to a magma worm nest! You can"t kill these things as long as they are not fully above ground!"
"Shut up and turn big so you can fly us out of here!" Ah Chun did not care about anything else but wanting to escape. Even her who would normally never back down from a fight dared not try to fight this many magma worms.
After being yelled by Ah Chun, Xiao Long felt a little aggrieved but quickly did as she asked. He quickly turned into a dragon and hovered in the air. Xu Wei jumped up on his back and set Ah Chun down. Once everyone was on board, Xiao Long quickly took off. Xiao Long had to dodge a barrage of magma b.a.l.l.s before they flew far enough away. Only when they were in the clear did Ah Chun finally let out a sigh of relief. She walked over and patted Xiao Long"s head. "Good Job. Thank you. But I will trouble you to take us to the mountain over there."
"As you wis.h.!.+" Xiao Long, feeling pretty happy from being praised quickly accepted his task.
The air was a bit cooler in the sky so Xu Wei no longer needed to wrap Ah Chun in spiritual qi. She sat down and closed her eyes and once again began cultivating. Even with Xiao Long flying to the mountain she knew the trip would take a few days.
Although they were in the devil"s domain it did not mean there wasn"t any spiritual qi in the air. It was just that there was not very much of it. So although it would not help her raise her cultivation by leaps in bounds she still did not want to waste even a strand of spiritual qi. Every little bit brought her that much closer to seeing the ones she loves once again.
