Chapter 269: Magical Powers Can’t Beat Nature
A huge reptile came from the dark world.
It is covered in colorful spots, emitting orange-red flames all over, and looks like a lizard.
When it came through the darkness, the surrounding imps consciously made way for it to avoid standing in its way and being burned and purified by the merciless flames.
“What a big lizard!” Qingxuandeng exclaimed.
But soon, she immediately changed her words, “What a big snake!”
This reptile covered with colorful spots is not a lizard, but a snake.
It has a sturdy body the size of a large truck tire and is 8 to 10 meters long.
In addition to the colorful spots and flames on its body, there is also a layer of red and black scales.
Salamandra.
When Pinggong Qianye was reading the animal encyclopedia before, he had seen this kind of creature that lives in the high temperature area of volcanoes all year round.
In many Western legends, the Salamandra represents the spirit of the fire element.
Are the Salamanders only found in Japan?
Moreover, a Salamandra of such a large size cannot possibly exist naturally.
This is a snake demon that has achieved some success in its cultivation.
“Let me try.”
Qing Xingdeng’s tone was cheerful and he was eager to try. Pinggong Qianye stood silently by the side, observing the movements nearby.
“Stinky snake, I’ll burn you to ashes!”
Qingxingdeng controlled the bright lamp to fly into the sky, the lamp stand rotated, and countless flaming lotuses fell from the sky.
In just a few breaths, the Salamandra was surrounded by golden flames.
When the flames gradually dissipated, the Salamandra slowly opened its snake pupils.
There was no sign of being burned on its body.
Living in the crater all year round, it has a layer of scales that can withstand high temperatures.
No matter how hot the flame is, it can swim freely in it.
Salamandra just glanced at the bright lamp and then looked at Pinggong Chiye beside him.
In its perception, this human being is more difficult to deal with than that bright lamp.
“Even a stinking snake like you dares to look down on me!”
Qingxuande understood what Salamandra meant, and became instantly annoyed. He gently turned the lamp stand, and scattered the flaming lotus again.
Before the flaming lotus landed on the ground, it transformed into axes, knives, forks and other weapons.
Many weapons flashed with fire and slashed at the Salamandra, and the red and black scales on the surface emitted clanging sparks.
Blood flowed out from the gaps in the Salamandra’s scales.
The blood was like boiling magma, flowing along the surrounding of the Salamandra towards where Pinggong Qianye was.
“It’s tough.”
Seeing that his attack could not completely cut through the scales of the Salamandra, Qingxuande withdrew his attack and prepared to try another method.
At this moment, the Salamandra let out a roar like thunder.
The whole earth began to shake, the surrounding soil and rocks cracked, and the stones danced on the ground.
Pinggong Qianye sensed it for a moment, called back Qingxuande who was about to continue attacking, and instantly rushed towards the Salamandra.
As soon as he moved, columns of magma erupted from the area where he was just now!
In an instant, the area within a radius of 50 meters was transformed into an uninhabitable magma sea by the erupting magma column.
What a powerful snake! It can actually draw the magma in the mountain for its own use.
When Qing Xingdeng was feeling admiration, he saw Pinggong Qianye had already arrived in front of the Galamandra. He leaped lightly above the Galamandra’s head and stepped on the Galamandra’s head with his foot.
With just a little leverage, the Salamandra’s head exploded instantly, its skull cracked, and its brains flowed all over the ground.
monster!
Qingxuande could only use such adjectives to describe Pinggong Chiye at this moment.
He stepped on the Salamandra that he couldn’t chop apart to death with one kick.
This monk is so scary.
After stepping on the Salamandra, Hiramiya Chiye’s figure leaped forward again for a long distance. In the blink of an eye, he crossed the last 100 meters and reached the top of the mountain covered with ice crystals.
Pinggong Qianye stopped and looked down at his right foot. He had stepped on the Salamandra with this foot just now, and the shoe under his feet was completely burned by the flames.
“This flame is really powerful.”
“…”
Qingxuandeng remained silent and secretly stuck out his tongue. No matter how powerful it was, it was not as powerful as you, Master Liansheng.
The crater of Sakurajima volcano is round, and the top of the mountain is covered with ice crystals, with icicles piercing the sky.
The interior of the crater was still dark, with scorching heat emanating from it.
At the same time, due to the instigation of the Salamandra just now, the Sakurajima volcano became unstable again.
Sometimes a tall column of lava erupts from the crater.
Although Pinggong Qianye was confident in his physical training, he had never allowed himself to come into contact with magma.
Can an indestructible body block the magma?
Pinggong Qianye did not have a definite answer to this question.
If the Seven Sins really imprisoned the Snow Girl deep in the volcano, at the bottom of the magma, then it would be very difficult to rescue her.
“There is no trace of Sister Snow Girl around here anymore.”
Qingxingdeng controlled the Guangmingdeng and flew around, then came back with his eyes fixed on the erupting crater.
Now there is only one possibility left.
“You, can you come in?”
“I don’t know how to avoid fire.”
“So, you have no other options?”
Pinggong Qianye didn’t say anything for a while. The Fire Avoidance Spell, also known as the Fire Avoidance Tactics, is a Taoist spell and immortal technique.
In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong used this magic when he was dealing with Red Boy and resisting the Samadhi Fire.
If he knew the fire avoidance spell, he should be able to enter the lava and bathe freely.
“That Seven Sinners is so abominable!”
“How could he imprison Sister Snow Girl in this hot place full of magma!”
“Sister Snow Girl has never liked high temperatures, but prefers ice and snow.”
Qingxuande, who also couldn’t think of a solution, began to curse the seven evil masters.
Pinggong Qianye looked at the lava columns that erupted from time to time and thought about various possible methods.
The natural danger of magma is not something that can be crossed by chanting Buddhist scriptures or mantras.
He could rely on his diamond body to take the risk, but the seven evil lords were still inside, fighting each other, and what if the volcano erupted completely.
The climbers who had not left the mountain, the residents at the foot of the mountain, and Mitsuhide Akechi who was waiting for them in the car would all face great danger.
His Buddhist magical powers were ultimately no match for the power of nature.
If it is the various flames of lust of sentient beings, then he has many methods to extinguish the flames.
But this is the magma in the real world. Even if it rains heavily, it is difficult to extinguish the magma in the entire crater.
After cursing the Seven Sinners, Qingxuande came to the crater and looked at the bottomless abyss below that occasionally spewed out flames, and his heart became more and more panicked.
Nothing must happen to Sister Snow Girl!
“Let me go down and try.”
Qing Xingdeng gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Born from the Lamp of Light, she is good at manipulating fire, and ordinary fire has no effect on her.
As for the magma… maybe once we get down there, something unexpected will happen.
“You can definitely go down and try.”
Pinggong Qianye agreed with Qingxuande’s risky behavior and added, “I will go down with you.”
“But you are made of flesh and blood. Even if you have magical powers, you can’t stop the raging magma.”
“My physical body will remain on the top of the mountain.”
Hearing this, Qing Xingdeng was startled and asked anxiously: “Are you crazy? This is too dangerous!”
There are a large group of little ghosts wandering around here. Leaving your body on the top of the mountain is like throwing a piece of meat into a wolf pack.
It’s too dangerous!
