Gu Yuan had every reason to be astonished, because the Fire Crow King just now was at least a descendant of a Yin Spirit Level Divine Bird.

As for its grade, calling it a Golden Grade would likely underestimate it. It's more likely a Dark Gold Grade, or even a Purple Grade!

"If only I could get a Fire Crow King Egg..."

As he ran, Gu Yuan couldn't help but regretfully think to himself.

Some of the Spirit Beasts and exotic insects Gu Yuan had were initially ordinary low-grade creatures that he cultivated and upgraded.

Some were born as Golden Grade exotic insects.

But no matter what, the highest grade among these Spirit Pets was only Gold.

As for Dark Gold or even Purple Grade Spirit Pets, they are very hard to obtain in a short time.

After bypassing the Fire Crow flock, Gu Yuan became even more cautious and careful.

As the saying goes, "frequently walking by the river, how can one's shoes stay dry?"

Although Gu Yuan tried to be as careful as possible, it wasn't long before an accident happened.

While flying, several Fire Serpents suddenly emerged from the magma below.

These Fire Serpents were not just ordinary fire-spitting snake-type Demon Beasts, but a kind of exotic serpent!

These serpents were several feet long, with thick upper bodies and slender lower bodies, covered in dark red scales.

Their heads were flat, and especially on their flanks, they had a pair of flesh wings, like bats, and on the framework of the wings were sharp bone spikes!

A pair of eyes filled with the gloomy and cold characteristics unique to serpents!

The temperature in the magma was extremely high, especially when True Flame, containing fire poison and fire evil energy, splashed out now and then, and even a Golden Core Great Cultivator had to treat it with caution.

However, these Fire Serpents swam through the magma as if they were swimming in water, freely and leisurely, treating the Magma Lake as a swimming pool.

Occasionally, hot True Flame hit the scales on the Fire Serpents' bodies without causing any damage, leaving them bright and clean.

The Magma Lake area was vast, and bypassing it would undeniably take a lot of effort, possibly encountering other dangers too.

Gu Yuan decisively and carefully avoided the Fire Serpents and continued on using his Escape Light.

As he flew, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and his Escape Light veered as a line of fire passed through his original position.

The deep red fire line, condensed from True Flame, was not only incredibly hot but also frighteningly penetrative.

The air was scorched and distorted.

Gu Yuan thought to himself that if he hadn't dodged that blow just now, while it wouldn't have killed him, it would certainly have caused him trouble.

Turning his head, Gu Yuan discovered that a Fire Serpent was staring at him intently.

Clearly, it had already discovered his tracks!

Gu Yuan was initially stunned, then lightly assessed, finally giving a wry smile and understanding the reason.

His Escape Light was naturally very concealed, but the problem was that this Magma Lake was filled with thick smoke and fire aura.

Once something passed through, it became quite conspicuous.

At this moment, not only had this Fire Serpent discovered Gu Yuan, but even two more Fire Serpents not far away stuck out long serpent tongues, made strange calls, and rushed over.

Zheng!!!

Gu Yuan simply held the Silver Flood Dragon Sword in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the Silver Flood Dragon Sword made a subtle and bright ringing sound from its tip to its hilt.

A silver brilliance flowed along the blade, radiating a terrifying sharpness!

Sss—sss—

The three Fire Serpents coordinated skillfully, with two attacking from the left and right.

On the ends of their bat-like flesh wings, they had sharp claws glistening with a cold gleam.

Their mouths were open, with the corners of their mouths extending to the back of their heads, full of sharp teeth.

In their throats, there was a flesh-colored tubular object, spraying out a line of fire that turned into a scorching fire tongue sweeping over.

The other Fire Serpent, larger than its kin and with deeper scales, shook its tail, launching a bone spike like a spear, shooting towards Gu Yuan.

The bone spike left a long white streak in the air, swift and tricky.

The Silver Flood Dragon Sword in Gu Yuan's hand began to hum loudly, an extremely fierce Sword Intent burst out, and with a swing of the long sword, the bone spike was shattered with a clang.

Gu Yuan flicked the Sword Light, and the broken bone spike fragments, mixed with hundreds of Sword Qi, rushed towards the True Flame, shattering it into chaos, removing the threat.

With a wave of his sleeve, he released a Purple Sky Divine Thunder, its purple Thunder Light pure and domineering, exploding upon contact with the True Flame.

The Thunder Light fragmented, breaking the True Flame into pieces.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuan swung the long sword again.

Zila—

A silver thread extended towards the Fire Serpent about to pounce in front of him.

Easily severing it in two, the hard and tough scales on the Fire Serpent couldn't block it, sliced open by the silver thread like a hot knife through butter.

The sharp Sword Intent contained within the Silver Thread Sword Light not only sliced through its body but also killed its Divine Soul.

Behind Gu Yuan, the Fire Serpent had already pounced in front of him, its cold gleaming claws just less than a foot away from his skin.

But at this moment, Gu Yuan reversed his grip on the sword, slicing down vertically.

A strand of silver thread neatly split the Fire Serpent from its head to its tail into two halves.

The two claws ultimately remained stagnant there, unmoving, then fell down.

Yet before they completely fell into the magma, Gu Yuan stored them into his Storage Pouch.

Then, Gu Yuan leisurely turned around, his gaze falling on the distant Fire Serpent.

Sss—

The Fire Serpent hissed. Seeing Gu Yuan slay two of its kind without fear, it was filled with malice and resentment instead of dread, then lunged forward.

However, the Fire Serpent's hiss was sharper, resounding far and filled with penetrative force, as if summoning something.

"Hmph, seeking death!"

Gu Yuan's expression initially changed slightly, then he pointed the long sword, shooting a sparkling silver light, like a flicker of a weak starlight.

Though tiny and unnoticeable, it was incredibly swift, like a meteor streaking by.

The Fire Serpent screeched, trying to wave its claws to block it, but the cold light easily pierced through its claws.

Then, the cold light landed on its head.

Bang!!!

Suddenly, the Fire Serpent's head exploded, like a watermelon, with reds and whites splattering everywhere.

Gu Yuan waved his sleeve, collecting the Fire Serpent corpse.

This Fire Serpent was of a special species, its entire body a treasure. Whether it's the scales, the flesh, or the possible Inner Core inside, all were valuable, and naturally couldn't be wasted.

Sss—

Sss—

Roar!!!

At that moment, on the Magma Lake, other Fire Serpents in distant locations heard the previous call for help and roared out, swarming over.

Below the Magma Lake, a deep, thunderous roar emanated, causing the surrounding mountains to tremble slightly.

Gu Yuan's expression changed, and after determining the direction, he without hesitation, maneuvered his Escape Light and flew away.
