The Soul Returns: The Peerless Imperial Daughter Begins to Abuse the Scumbag

In this way, the man and the beast continued to move forward cautiously along the passage on the left.

Although this passage is darker, the ground is relatively flat, and there seems to be a faint spiritual energy in the air, making people feel refreshed.

The passage was unusually quiet, with only Su Chenyin's footsteps echoing in the empty space.

The light of the night pearl reflected on the wall, casting a long shadow.

After walking for about a meal's time, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of us.

"Master, there is a light ahead!" Baqi pointed ahead excitedly and screamed.

"Let's go and take a look." Su Chenyin's eyes lit up and he quickened his pace.

Baqi sat on her shoulder, staring ahead with his big eyes nervously and vigilantly.

As the distance got closer, the light became brighter and the passage became more tortuous.

After walking for another cup of tea, the winding passage became straight, but it began to gradually slope downward and the temperature gradually increased.

"Master, be careful!" Baqi suddenly shouted, pointing its little paws upwards into the passage.

Su Chenyin looked up when he heard this, and saw a few loose rocks on the top of the passage, which were crumbling and seemed like they would fall at any time.

She immediately used her spiritual power to form a shield to protect herself and Baqi.

There was a loud "boom" and the rock hit the shield and turned into powder in an instant.

"That was a close call!" Baqi patted his chest and said with lingering fear.

"It's okay, let's keep moving forward." Su Chenyin comforted.

As we continued forward, the passage became drier and drier, the surrounding rocks became like red-hot iron blocks, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur.

The further you go, the higher the temperature.

Su Chenyin felt as if he had walked into a huge furnace, with beads of sweat already oozing out of his forehead.

Baqi couldn't stand the high temperature either. Its little tongue stuck out like a dog's tail grass and it kept gasping for breath.

"Master, it's so hot here. Should we continue moving forward?" Baqi asked weakly.

"It's a bit hot, but now that we're here, we can't give up halfway." Su Chenyin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said firmly.

"Hold on a little longer, maybe there really is some surprise waiting for us ahead." Su Chenyin encouraged.

After hearing this, Baqi stopped complaining and puffed out his chest. Although he was panting from the heat, he still said firmly, "Okay, Master, I'll go with you."

Su Chenyin smiled slightly and activated his ice spiritual power.

Suddenly, a cool spiritual energy surged out from Su Chenyin's body, forming a thin layer of frost that wrapped her whole body and brought a hint of coolness.

Baqi also squinted his eyes comfortably, and his little tongue licked his lips from time to time, enjoying the sudden coolness.

In this way, the man and the beast continued to move forward along the passage with difficulty in the scorching heat.

"Qiqi, come here, I'll give you this bottle of heat-removing pills and this stack of ice talismans as well."

"Okay, thank you Master."

As we went deeper, the temperature did not drop, but instead continued to rise, and the effect of the ice spiritual power became weaker and weaker.

Su Chenyin and Baqi not only swallowed the heat-repelling pills, but also pasted a few ice talismans on their bodies.

Su Chenyin even took out the cloak he got from killing the sand viper and put it on his shoulders, trying to lower the temperature around him a little, but the effect was minimal.

The sweat on Su Chenyin's forehead dripped down like pearls from a broken string. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and her footsteps became as heavy as lead blocks.

Every step I take feels like a heavy burden is pressing on me.

With such a high temperature, Su Chenyin couldn't help but wonder whether there was volcanic lava at the bottom of the cave?

Or maybe there was a strange fire ahead, as described in the novels she read in modern times?

Thinking of this, Su Chenyin's curiosity and anticipation grew stronger. She clenched her teeth and continued to move forward under the scorching heat.

The heat waves in the passage were like a ferocious beast, one wave after another, as if they were going to devour them.

Baqi was in even greater pain; his hair was soaked with sweat, as if he had just been drenched in water.

It was so hot that it lay directly on Su Chenyin's shoulder, with its little tongue stretched out and its little ears drooping limply, looking pitiful as if it was about to collapse.

Su Chenyin looked at it distressedly and said softly, "Qiqi, please go into the space. I can do it by myself."

"No, master, I am Baqi, this little heat is nothing!" Baqi shook his head firmly, even though his little body was so hot that it was almost smoking.

Su Chenyin smiled somewhat touchedly: "Okay, then we will move forward together. If you really can't stand it, you must tell me."

In this way, the man and the beast encouraged each other and continued to move forward in the high-temperature passage.

The end of the passage seemed to be far away, but none of them had any intention of retreating.

Su Chenyin's clothes were soaked and her cheeks were red from the high temperature, but the determination and resolve in her eyes shone brighter.

And Baqi lay stubbornly on her shoulder. Even though its little body was so hot that it was almost vaporizing, it still held on to her clothes tightly, unwilling to retreat.

The slope of the passage became increasingly steep, as if they were walking step by step towards the center of the Flaming Mountain.

Su Chenyin's breathing gradually became rapid, her heartbeat accelerated in the heat, and every step seemed like a battle with the God of Fire.

The temperature was getting higher and higher, and Su Chenyin could even feel the rocks under his feet starting to soften.

Suddenly, she slipped and fell forward.

"Master!" Baqi screamed.

It reflexively stretched out its little claws, trying to grab Su Chenyin, but due to the high temperature and weakness, it could only watch her fall forward.

Su Chenyin only felt his body was light and he threw himself forward.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand, trying to grab something to steady her body, but unexpectedly she touched a protruding rock.

Her fingers gripped the rock tightly, and her body's forward momentum slowed slightly.

However, the high temperature made the rock extremely brittle. Su Chenyin only felt a sharp pain in her fingertips, and the rock was actually broken by her.

At this critical moment, Su Chenyin's feet finally found solid ground. She steadied her body and slowly stood up.

Her heart was beating like a drum and hot sweat was running down her forehead, soaking her clothes.

Su Chenyin let out a long breath and looked at the rock in his hand with lingering fear.

Baqi also breathed a sigh of relief, his little heart pounding, his little face full of worry: "Master, are you okay?"

"It's okay, just some burns." Su Chenyin shook his head and blew gently on his fingertips.

Su Chenyin looked down and saw that the rock under his feet had softened due to the high temperature, forming a layer of slippery magma film that seemed to be flowing under his feet.

She frowned and found that the soles of her shoes showed signs of melting. She was shocked. The temperature was indeed extraordinary.

"Qiqi, we have to be more careful." Su Chenyin calmed himself down, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and continued to move forward carefully.
