As they ventured deeper underground, the temperature gradually rose. Little Treasure squeaked excitedly, frolicking ahead, almost as if urging Ye Tian on.
A human and a mouse finally arrived at the cave where the Nine Nether Fire Lotus resided. However, the cave no longer resembled its previous state.
The area had expanded dozens of times, and even the underground lava, which had once flowed like a river, had completely dried up.
Burn marks were everywhere, making it hard to imagine how, at such depths, such a vast space could remain standing without collapsing.
"Squeak squeak!" With Little Treasure's reminder, Ye Tian snapped out of his shock from the surroundings.
Following Little Treasure's direction, Ye Tian saw a colossal being lying rigidly on one side of the cave—it was the enormous Fire Rock Python.
The Fire Rock Python showed no signs of life. It seemed the final outcome of the battle was its defeat.
