Originally, Yun Wu entered the cavern by accident and then jumped into that pit because she had no other choice. She truly didn't want anything from that phoenix.
But now, out of curiosity, she decided to go in there and find out what this legendary creature, which had drawn so many people here, looked like.
Ignoring that spotted snake, Yun Wu tapped on the floating rock with the tip of her foot and swiftly leaped onto another rock. In this way, she headed for the depths of the cavern.
What did people call phoenixes "birds bathing with fire"?
When Yun Wu landed on a floating rock and saw that fiery red phoenix soaking in magma with flames all over its body, she couldn't help feeling somewhat excited.
It was so dignified, so beautiful.
Yes. It was majestic and beautiful.
That majesty was in its blood, and that beauty was beyond words.
Suddenly, the whole cavern started quaking.
"Roar–"
As if from outside the cavern, a dragon roar came. The whole cavern was quaking, along with the magma in the pool.
Yun Wu was still in amazement, but because of the quaking of the cavern, she was losing her footing.
Almost out of instincts, Yun Wu immediately clenched her teeth, enveloped herself with space element and disappeared out of thin air.
Right at this moment.
"Ah…"
The phoenix in magma raised its head and squeaked out a shrill cry, magma splashing around.
Finally, a fiery red egg was laid.
"Phoenix, how dare you gave birth to its child," at this moment, a gruff loud voice full of anger abruptly came from the entrance of the cavern.
It took almost merely an instant for it to travel such a long distance.
In the blink of an eye, a giant black dragon stormed over with furiously widened eyes.
"Black Dragon, don't go too far. You've been pursuing me since I was in the Dragon-Phoenix Realm. Now I'm in the Mortal Realm. What else do you want?" the female voice said with suppressed anger.
"You know exactly what I want! Hand over that bastard child to me."
"No way!"
"Well, then. You leave me no choice. Roar… "
With a roar, potent Qi instantly pervaded the cavern and with that the black dragon rapidly hurtled towards the phoenix in magma.
The flames on the phoenix instantly flared up. It raised its head, let out a squeak and stormed towards the black dragon head-on.
The dragon was mighty and aggressive, while the phoenix, however, had an air of majesty about it, like that of a goddess.
However…
"Bang, bang!"
"Boom! Boom! "
Two potent powers clashed together, quaking the whole cavern.
Tightly clenching her teeth, Yun Wu struggled to shield herself with space element. If she showed herself, there was no doubt she would become a hapless victim of that power the moment she did it.
But all of a sudden.
Yun Wu felt the rock beneath her feet start quivering. She lowered her head, flicked a look at it and was somewhat terrified.
The floating rock broke apart, magma splashing around.
Her whole body – no, all the magma and floating rocks in the pool instantly started churning.
And the cause of this was the phoenix and the dragon.
Yun Wu's face went ghastly pale. Heedless of other concerns, she immediately gave up the space element shelter, enwrapped herself with wind element and leaped upwards.
Unlike that occasion when she was in the forbidden area, if she got entangled in this magma, she probably would be melted completely without a single piece of her body left.
"A human?"
"How dare this human intrude in this place. You're courting death!" the moment the black dragon finished the last word, it hurled a bolt of fierce Qi at Yun Wu.
"Damn it!"
Yun Wu cursed in a low voice and dodged aside in a flustered manner.
Fortunately, the black dragon's target seemed to be that egg the phoenix had just laid, and it had nothing but scorn for Yun Wu who was merely a human.
"Roar–"
Taking advantage of the moment when the phoenix was distracted, the dragon created a tornado of energy and swirled the magma upwards.
Realizing what the dragon was trying to do, the phoenix squeaked furiously and erupted lances of flame towards the enemy…
