Chapter 515: Xiao Ling and Medusa's "Flirting"

"Huh? The door actually opened by itself." Medusa stared at the movement in front of her with curiosity and said in a tone full of surprise.

"I didn't expect that there is another space passage behind this gate. Could it be that there is another man-made space inside this special space?"

Qinglin spoke with a puzzled tone while looking at the space passage that emerged as the door opened, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Hehe, these are just some small tricks. If I do it myself, it would be easy to create a few such space channels." Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and said with disapproval.

"This space passage should be the real entrance to the ancient ruins. The real treasure is inside." Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle, and then ordered, "Okay, let's go in quickly and see what good things are inside. Don't waste time."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, several people looked at each other, then jumped up one after another and rushed towards the dark space passage until their bodies were completely swallowed up by it.

……

After they passed through the space passage, they appeared in a dim black corridor in the blink of an eye.

However, before everyone could steady themselves, something unexpected happened.

The originally pitch-black passage suddenly turned red, and the extremely hard floor slowly cracked. Then, red, boiling magma gushed out, as if to swallow everything.

At the same time, enchanting blue flames suddenly spurted out from the four walls of the spacious passage. The flames roared, making the surrounding air extremely hot.

Medusa, who was at the head of the group, was instantly hit hard and faced directly this sudden and dangerous situation.

The flames came with such force and speed that they were approaching Medusa in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Medusa had just stood firm and came to her senses when the flames were already approaching. Her face suddenly changed and she hurriedly thought about resisting.

However, responding hastily without any preparation, even if Medusa had excellent cultivation and a physique as strong as the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, her life would not be in danger, but she would probably suffer a lot.

"Hmph!" At this critical moment, Xiao Ling, who was not far behind Medusa, snorted coldly. His figure flashed without warning and he appeared in front of Medusa in an instant, facing the surging flames for her.

"Xiao Ling, be careful!"

Seeing this, Medusa had no time to think at all. She immediately exclaimed and shouted anxiously.

Just as the ferocious flames were about to approach Xiao Ling, he just raised his finger slightly, and in a flash, a giant dragon surrounded by brilliantly colored flames roared out from his palm.

The giant dragon was majestic and awe-inspiring. It opened its mouth and sucked in all the fierce flames into its stomach. The whole process was quick and neat, and it was over in less than two seconds.

"There is no telling how many dangers are hidden in this Dou Sheng Ruins. You have to be careful, or you will fall into trouble like before."

Xiao Ling casually took back the strange fire he had summoned earlier, then turned around, glanced at Medusa, and reminded her softly with a faint smile on his face.

"In the future, if you are in danger, you can't always count on me to protect you."

Seeing that Xiao Ling was unharmed at the moment, Medusa secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still maintained a calm expression on her face and responded:

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about it. Even if you didn't block the sudden attack for me, I would have my own way to deal with it. You are just wasting your time."

Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm superfluous, I'm superfluous, as long as you are happy, okay."

Seeing the two of them arguing with each other and neither of them giving in, Xiao Yixiang, Zi Yan and Qing Lin first looked at each other, and then smiled at each other as if they had telepathy, but their smiles revealed a bit of helplessness and amusement.

These two are really stubborn.

It is obvious that deep down in their hearts they have already regarded the other person as an extremely important person, and they can't hide their concern for each other on a daily basis. But when it comes to words, it seems like they are competing with each other, and neither of them is willing to lower their head first or give in even a little.

I don't know when they can break this subtle barrier between them and make a substantial breakthrough and progress in their relationship. It makes others anxious.

As everyone continued to move forward, Xiao Ling's mind moved slightly, and in an instant, several bright flames appeared out of thin air and lingered around the few people. They could not only respond to possible sudden attacks at any time, but also illuminate the originally dark passage and dispel the darkness around them, which made them feel more at ease.

This is a deep and narrow passage. It is pitch black and the walls of the passage are made of black stones.

On one side of the passage, there is actually a flowing lava river. The lava is surging and rolling, emitting a hot breath from time to time and making a few sizzling sounds.

"It's true that this Dou Sheng Ruins is not easy to enter. If an ordinary person comes here, I'm afraid he will be turned into ashes as soon as he sees it. If you don't have the strength of a high-level Dou Zong, it's simply difficult to save your life here."

While Xiao Yixiang casually dispersed a column of flaming magma that suddenly attacked her, she couldn't help but speak, her words full of emotion.

"After all, this is the backup plan left by the Fighting Saint. It won't be so easy for anyone to take advantage of it. If it were so easy to get it, then the title of Fighting Saint would be somewhat unworthy of its reputation." Medusa slowly looked around and spoke softly in a calm tone.

"How long will it take to reach the end of this place? Why does it seem like the passage ahead is always like this? Could we have taken the wrong path?" Zi Yan held Xiao Ling's hand tightly while looking here and there, her little face full of confusion.

"Based on my observations, this passage is probably just a superficial disguise. The real passage leading to the ruins should be underneath the magma."

At this time, Xiao Ling also recalled some information about the situation here, and immediately understood the current situation. He spoke immediately, with a certainty in his words.

"Young Master, are you telling the truth? Can the real entrance to this ancient ruins only be reached through this magma?" A hint of doubt flashed across Qinglin's emerald eyes. She raised her head slightly, looked at Xiao Ling, and asked softly.

When the others heard this, they were all surprised, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. After all, the magma in front of them looked solid, at least from their current observations, they couldn't see any flaws.

It can only be said that the methods of the Dou Sheng are truly extraordinary, and are not something that ordinary people can easily understand.

If Xiao Ling did not have an extraordinary perception, and if he did not discover some clues and associate them with some related situations, he would probably not have been able to determine the correct way to enter the ruins so quickly.

"Don't worry, you still don't trust my judgment? Let's go down quickly." Xiao Ling smiled softly, and then his mind moved slightly. A layer of flame barrier appeared instantly, tightly wrapping up everyone's floating figures.

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, no one objected at all, because they had an almost blind confidence in Xiao Ling. As long as it was a decision made by Xiao Ling, they would choose to believe it without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling's mind moved again, and the fireball that carried everyone with it rushed straight towards the lava river like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, it sank into the lava and disappeared.

Diving into the magma, Xiao Ling and the others quickly dived downwards. The magma was extremely hot, as if it could swallow everything in the world in an instant, but for the people who were protected by the strange fire, it did not pose any obstacle at all.

In this way, everyone continued to sink, and after about a minute, suddenly, everyone heard a slight muffled sound.

Then, the ground beneath their feet suddenly became empty, and everyone slid down a distance involuntarily. After stabilizing their bodies, their feet once again stood firmly on the cold floor.

Everyone stood firm and began to look around. At this moment, they were in a rather spacious boulder passage that continued to extend into the distance. Indistinctly, they could actually see an open square in the distance.

However, the square was shrouded in a haze, revealing a hint of ancient atmosphere, which made people know at a glance that it was definitely not simple.

"It's so abominable! The owner of this relic is so cunning. He doesn't behave like a powerful Dou Sheng at all. Normally, who would have nothing to do and think of jumping into the magma..." Zi Yan waved her little fist angrily, her face full of complaints, and muttered.

"However, the senior who opened up this Dou Sheng Ruins would never have thought that the obstacles he carefully designed would be seen through by the young master at a glance."

A faint smile quietly appeared on Qinglin's face, and his eyes fell gently on Xiao Ling, his eyes full of admiration.

"As expected of a young master, you can detect the clues so quickly."

"Haha, it's nothing, stop praising me like that." Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly after being praised by Qing Lin, outlining a faint smile, but he didn't take the praise too seriously, and said immediately,
"Let's go. The place ahead should be where we can actually enter the ruins. There must be a lot of good stuff hidden in there, such as fighting skills, techniques, and natural treasures. There must be nothing missing. After all, these were left by the Dou Sheng masters of ancient times. The good stuff in their hands must be extraordinary."

After hearing what Xiao Ling said, everyone's eyes lit up slightly, especially Zi Yan's.

As soon as she heard about the treasures of heaven and earth, her original spirits and energy suddenly rose, and she seemed to be floating, so excited that she could hardly control herself.

"Heavenly treasures, here I come!" As soon as the words fell, Zi Yan's figure flew towards the square like a swift stream of light.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling and the others couldn't help but smile at each other, then they hurriedly moved, closely following Zi Yan's steps, and rushed towards the square full of unknowns.

……

At the end of the square, stands an extremely heavy stone door, which exudes an ancient atmosphere, as if carrying the endless vicissitudes of time.

In front of the stone gate, there were ten figures standing straight like guns. They just stood there quietly, without changing their posture for thousands of years.

The skin of these bodies was a brilliant silver color, glowing with a cool luster under the reflection of the surrounding light.

Their eyes are empty and lifeless, and their faces are expressionless, like ancient corpses from ancient times, exuding a chilling sense of deathly silence.

"Isn't this the Earth Demon Puppet? It looks almost the same as the ones Xiao Ling refined before."

Zi Yan, who arrived here first, felt that the puppets looked very familiar as soon as her eyes touched the direction, and she blurted out subconsciously.

Xiao Ling and the others who arrived later, after hearing Zi Yan's words, subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction of the ten puppets.

Xiao Ling carefully looked at the puppets outside the stone gate, and saw that they were bright silver all over. It was obvious that they were still at the level of earth demon puppets.

According to Xiao Ling's estimation, the strength of each of these ten Earth Demon Puppets should be at the peak Dou Zong level.

"It seems that behind this stone gate is the real ruins, and these puppets are the means used by the Dou Sheng to guard the gate."

The Little Medical Fairy raised her eyes to look at the extremely heavy stone door and spoke softly in a gentle tone, not taking it too seriously.

After all, among this group of people, the weakest ones are all Dou Zun-level warriors.

For them, it is an easy task to deal with these ten puppets which only have the strength of Dou Zong.

"The soul marks of these ten puppets are almost completely wiped out. I just need to completely erase the remaining soul marks on them, and then re-mark them with my own soul marks. Naturally, I will be able to control them easily."

As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, he released his powerful mental power.

The mental force rushed towards the ten puppets like a surging tide, instantly wiping out the few remaining soul imprints on the puppets.

Then, Xiao Ling planted his own soul mark in their bodies. (End of this chapter)
