Ye Kai turned his head to look at the Flaming God Flower. He didn't expect that the moment he stepped onto the first layer of flotsam, the Flaming God Flower would be freed from the shackles of the blue chain.1
He could not help but feel vexed, secretly regretting that he should not have taken this last step.
Now that the Flame God Flower had escaped its bindings, it was worthy of its title as an Emperor level spiritual medicine. It had long since gained intelligence, and it might even be able to take form long ago.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
Just as Ye Kai was feeling pity, he suddenly heard a sound from behind him. A huge creature appeared in front of him all of a sudden, blocking his line of sight and dashing towards the Blazing Flame God Flower.
The Flame God Flower was obviously shocked. It immediately turned around and flew higher, avoiding the gigantic creature.
The colossal creature's body tumbled into the magma below, causing countless amounts of fiery magma to splash about.
"I never thought that there would be a competitor!"
Ye Kai looked down and saw a huge red snake head emerging first, followed by that fiery red body. He immediately recognized that this was the Flame Serpent, a spirit beast that lived in the lava all year round. They were born close to fire, and adult Flame Serpents were said to be comparable to Martial Sect experts.
As for the Flame Serpent below, its body was over a hundred feet long. Clearly, it was already an adult.
In this sort of place, the fighting capabilities of the Flame Serpent would inevitably be stronger than usual. Moreover, in this kind of place, the space that Ye Kai could move his hands was extremely small, and once the Flame Serpent made a move, even running would be a problem.
Fortunately, the Flame Serpent stared at him for a while, as if it had no interest in him. Then, it turned its head to look at the Flame God Flower in the air again.
The Flame God Flower seemed to be very interested in everything. It tried to slowly descend, as if it wanted to see clearly whether Ye Kai or the Flame Serpent.
As it slowly descended, the Flame Serpent's eyes narrowed, its head held high, ready to strike again. It quietly waited for it to land in the right position.
This time, the Flaming Snake held its breath and stared at the Flaming God Flower, which didn't attack. The Flaming God Flower was like a curious child, and when it saw that it didn't move, it moved towards it.
When the Flame Serpent was still a few meters away from them, it finally stopped and rushed out with its mouth wide open. The Flame God Flower's body trembled, as if it was frightened by the sudden turn of events.
"Be careful!" Seeing that he was about to be swallowed into the snake's stomach, Ye Kai let out a loud cry out of instinct. He then fiercely struck out with his palm, striking the Flame Serpent's seven inches head on.
The Flame Serpent's body was in pain. It cried out as it tumbled into the magma once more.
Only then did the Flame God Flower react. It quickly flew up into the sky and circled above Ye Kai's head. It had clearly grown closer to Ye Kai because of what had just happened.
The lava below roiled for a while before the Flame Serpent finally showed itself again. It coldly looked at Ye Kai, its triangular eyes glimmering with endless cold light, as if it wanted to swallow Ye Kai up.
Ye Kai was not afraid as he stared back at it, his eyes sharp.
"Chi!"
Flaming Snake stuck out its tongue and sent a stream of spiritual sense to Ye Kai's mind, "Where did this human come from? Why did he spoil my good fortune?"
However, Ye Kai did not reply. He just looked at it quietly, not knowing what to think.
