After being read by the mind, my apprentice wanted to rebel

Chapter 177 In the Magma

She cursed in her heart, "This Lin Yu is really enough! He actually made such a shocking noise and attracted everyone here."

Thinking of this, Lin Xian'er felt a little disgusted with Lin Yu.

[Host, all the immortal cultivators are rushing towards us.]

Upon hearing this news, Lin Xian'er's heart sank. She knew that successfully seizing the Phoenix Blood Essence under the watchful eyes of so many cultivators would undoubtedly be several times more difficult than before.

However, after just a brief second of hesitation, a hint of determination flashed in Lin Xian'er's beautiful eyes.

[Tongzi, I remember there are smoke bombs in the system mall. Quickly get me a few dozen], Lin Xianer shouted.

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud "bang bang bang" sound, and dozens of smoke bombs exploded on the top of the volcano almost at the same time.

In an instant, thick smoke billowed out like a ferocious beast, spreading rapidly with bared fangs and claws. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the surroundings tightly, turning it into a vast expanse of white, making it impossible to see any figure at all.

Lin Yu was startled and suddenly raised his head to look in the direction of Lin Xian'er and the others, but he could not see anything except the thick white smoke.

In desperation, he could only rely on his memory, and quickly rushed to the place where they had stood before.

But when he arrived there, he found that the place was empty.

"Not good," Lin Yu thought to himself, and turned around without hesitation and ran towards the lava.

However, just as he approached the magma, an extremely scorching heat hit him in the face, as if it was going to melt him completely.

Before he could react, the boiling magma had already splashed onto his sleeves and instantly ignited.

Lin Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly stretched out his hand and swung it. The sharp sword energy passed through and cut off the burning sleeve.

Looking at the surging, raging lava, he couldn't help but frown. How on earth could these two people have entered such a blazing fire without any harm? Could they be holding some powerful magical weapon that could insulate the high temperature of the lava?

At this moment, under the cover of the billowing smoke, Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun had successfully rushed into the magma.

A layer of crimson light burst out from Lin Xian'er's body, like a huge fireball, tightly wrapping her and Xie Qijun inside.

It is precisely because of this fire ability that the two of them can move freely in this terrifying magma without being harmed at all.

Lin Xian'er and Xie Qijun searched hard in the boiling volcanic magma. Time passed by minute by minute, but they still could not find any trace of the Phoenix Blood.

Helpless, Lin Xian'er had to grit her teeth and continue moving deeper.

As the depth increases, the surrounding environment becomes increasingly hot and unbearable.

Although Lin Xian'er possessed powerful fire abilities that allowed her to withstand a certain degree of high temperature, the temperature here and now was far beyond her tolerance limit.

Xie Qijun beside him could hardly bear such terrible heat. His forehead was already covered with beads of sweat and his breathing became rapid.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Lin Xian'er made a quick decision, summoned the system and ordered it to deploy a protective shield.

In an instant, a layer of transparent energy shield wrapped them, slightly relieving the pressure caused by the high temperature.

However, even so, being in this scorching environment still makes people feel extremely tormented.

[Tongzi, could it be that the Phoenix Blood Essence is really hidden at the bottom of this volcano?]

Lin Xian'er asked with a worried look on her face, secretly groaning inwardly. This is simply like roasting someone and serving them on the table. What on earth is going on?

The system remained silent for a moment before responding, "That's right, host. I'm afraid you won't be able to accompany Xie Qijun on the rest of the journey. Because the Phoenix blood essence possesses spirituality, it won't easily choose to enter a person's body. Xie Qijun must rely on his own strength and perseverance to conquer and subdue it."

However, the system still didn't say the words "If Xie Qijun can't even subdue the Phoenix Blood Essence, then going to the blood pool of the clan will be meaningless."

If he couldn't even successfully subdue the little bit of Phoenix blood in front of him, then the final result of Xie Qijun's trip to the clan land would be failure.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian'er couldn't help but fall into silence.

At this moment, she felt a little conflicted and hesitant, and had no idea how to talk to Xie Qijun and let him continue on his way alone.

What if he misunderstood that I brought him here on purpose, and then tried to torture him or even kill him?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Lin Xian'er felt a wave of panic. Was this man going to kill her right then and there? That wasn't right. He hadn't tried to kill her in such a long time, so he probably hadn't thought of that anymore. She couldn't scare herself anymore.

But just as Lin Xian'er was still racking her brains over how to phrase it, Xie Qijun took the initiative and spoke, "Master, in my opinion, the Phoenix Blood Essence must be at the very bottom of this abyss. I am filled with joy and gratitude that you have accompanied me here. Let me explore the rest of the way on my own."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Qijun's figure flashed and he rushed out of the protective shield without hesitation. Relying on his powerful spiritual power, he swooped down rapidly like a meteor.

"Ah——" Lin Xian'er was stunned by this sudden scene and was unable to react for a moment.

By the time she came to her senses, Xie Qijun had already disappeared from her sight, leaving her standing there blankly, muttering to herself, "Tongzi, why do I feel like Xie Qijun has suddenly become so sensible, well-behaved, and considerate?"

Oh~ It didn't happen suddenly without any warning. Similar situations have happened several times before.

Every time she had the urge to order him to complete a task, something surprising would happen - in the next second, before she could even open her mouth, he would rush out like an arrow without hesitation, as if he could see through her innermost thoughts.

Is it really as the saying goes: We are in perfect harmony with each other?

[Host, you need to think carefully about this. After all, he's the protagonist of this work, so naturally he's incredibly intelligent, bordering on the level of a demon. And you, on the other hand, are the type whose thoughts are instantly revealed on your face. With just a glance, people can easily guess what you're thinking. So, I suggest you take some time to practice controlling your facial expressions next time.]
