"Let me see, where is the Green Lotus Core Flame..."
Xiao Xue's heart stirred, and as she circulated her Dou Qi, she summoned her Dou Qi Armor.
The Water Attribute Dou Qi Armor directly isolated the violent fire attribute energy here, as well as the incoming heat waves.
She released her Soul Power, but found nothing, so she had to ask Ah Li for help:
"Ah Li, in your perception, are there any living creatures here?"
Although she hadn't detected anything, Xiao Xue wouldn't be naive enough to just rush down.
"Hmm... don't rush, let me see..."
As Ah Li spoke, she directly transformed into her human form, appearing beside Xiao Xue, and contentedly flicked her tail.
Ever since entering the cave, Ah Li had seemed very excited, and now she couldn't wait to run out of the storage ring.
Clearly, the abundant fire attribute energy here made her quite satisfied.
"...Hmm, there is one." A moment later, Ah Li looked at Xiao Xue and said:
"There is a little snake below, but it seems to have been scared away by me."
"...Hmm, or maybe it was scared away by you."
Xiao Xue: "..."
Compared to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's Bloodline, that Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake really didn't measure up.
Among Demonic Beast races, Bloodline suppression is particularly obvious.
And before Ah Li fell, she had already cultivated eight tails, just one step away from the legendary Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.
Although her strength was not what it used to be, her Bloodline was still there.
Even the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python that Medusa evolved into, if judged solely by Bloodline, might not necessarily be able to suppress the current Ah Li.
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's Bloodline was far inferior to Medusa's before her evolution, and even further away from Ah Li's.
Therefore, upon sensing the aura of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, it decisively chose to run away.
However, this was not good news for Xiao Xue —
To find the Green Lotus Core Flame, she still needed it to lead the way!
The Green Lotus Core Flame was hidden beneath the magma, and with the magma's isolation, finding its specific location was not an easy task.
In the original story, Xiao Yan also used the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake to lead the way, which was how he found the Green Lotus Core Flame in the shortest time.
But now, she could only find a way to explore it herself.
And without the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake leading the way, this process would be much more difficult.
Although there is a connection between different Heavenly Flames, it wasn't strong enough to be used directly as a GPS.
After all, it would only point you in a general direction; as for what was in between, that was not something it needed to consider.

And in this magma, undercurrents surged, and occasionally, extremely fierce magma undercurrents would erupt from some unknown direction.
These undercurrents were strong enough to severely injure a Great Dou Master; even if Xiao Xue was a Dou Ling, being hit would definitely not be pleasant.
After all, she was of the Water Attribute, which was at the greatest disadvantage in this environment.
However, since she was already here, how could she return empty-handed?
She, Xiao Xue, was determined to get this earth fire lotus seed, even Jesus couldn't stop her!
Xiao Xue sighed softly and called out to Ah Li: "Let's go, Ah Li, let's go down and play."
Saying this, she took the lead and jumped into the scorching magma.
Ah Li transformed into a streak of green smoke, caught up with Xiao Xue in mid-air, and instantly released the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, wrapping Xiao Xue within it.
"Ah Li, save your energy, we might need to search for a long time," Xiao Xue said.
Searching for the Green Lotus Core Flame aimlessly in the magma was definitely not an easy task.
If she kept Ah Li maintaining the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire the whole time, it would definitely consume a large amount of Ah Li's Soul Power.
And if they hadn't found the Green Lotus Core Flame before Ah Li could no longer maintain the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, then they would have to come back next time.
However, she didn't want to waste too much time here.
