Chapter 496 Extreme Cold and Extreme Heat

A while later, just as her consciousness was half-blurred, a warm current surged from beneath her feet, the temperature rising, frost evaporating, and moisture dripping down her forehead!

In a hazy dream, she opened her eyes to find her body already drenched! It was even drying off…

Heat! A crazy heat washed over her, a temperature she had never experienced in her life! Due to her innate talent, even under the scorching sun, she felt little and remained cool!

But now, she felt so hot she wanted to strip naked and jump into an icy lake to bathe!

Sweat dripped from her forehead onto her eyelids, her lashes were touched, and she jolted awake! After reacting, she finally saw the scene around her…

Beneath her was a stretch of blazing magma, with clusters of fiery light, deep red to purple, constantly leaping above it. The entire world was bathed in a fiery hue!

It was like a giant furnace, and she was being refined within it. The scorching flames and boiling magma seemed intent on boiling her to pieces…

Her consciousness fully returned, she instinctively reached out to touch the box in front of her, her gaze fixed on the dancing flames above the molten lava. Without a doubt, these must be the Eternal Flowing Fires! No wonder they said it could be taken away; fires that could move independently were indeed rare…

She managed to control her body to descend slowly, approaching a flame. She cautiously brought the box closer! Her movements were very careful, for fear of scaring the flame away…

However, the energy of the Eternal Flowing Fires was unimaginably hot and powerful. As she got closer, the sweat on her forehead instantly evaporated, and her clothes began to curl slightly from the heat…

Even the defensive Mermaid Silk couldn't withstand it for long! The stinging sensation on her skin forced her to speed up, but just then, the flame moved, leaped directly into the magma…

This made Jin Bao'er uncontrollably disappointed, but her body was burning terrifyingly. She dared not gamble on whether she could come in again later, so she patiently watched the direction of the flame's movement, hoping to find an opportunity…

In the scorching atmosphere, even breathing felt strenuous. As time passed, she finally noticed a pattern!

Suppressing her discomfort, she held her breath slightly, quietly approaching like a steady and cautious hunter, then opened the box, waiting for the flame to draw near…

The next second, she suddenly lunged forward!

With a burst of effort, she reached out and closed the box, trapping it inside. Seeing the flame fixed on a branch of the vine through the gap, she finally breathed a sigh of relief!

With a method in hand, she more patiently captured the other flames step by step. After the seventh was trapped, the little sprite could no longer stand the heat and hurriedly said.

"I can't take it anymore, I can't hold any more… *pant pant*… It's so hot! It hurts!"

Hearing this, Jin Bao'er immediately stopped, glanced at the vine box, and flew upwards without hesitation. After moving away from the magma a bit, she felt slightly better. Looking at the thick white mist not far away, she pursed her lips tightly, her expression solemn.

"Hold on tight!"

With that, her mind moved. Through the extremely cold white storm, she faintly felt the connection to the Soul Severing Sword…

That's right, just before jumping in, she had deliberately plunged the Soul Severing Sword into the ice layer, just in case. She never knew if she could find her way out after entering this storm. With a fixed directional indicator, she could immediately determine her bearing…

So, she reached upwards, spun her hand, and quickly formed seals. A faint light appeared on her body, gradually increasing with her movements. The power of the Great Dao slowly spread out, transforming into pink light that enveloped her, and a vast, astonishing power surged forth…

At the same time, the long sword, which was already closely connected to Jin Bao'er, flashed slightly. Its body, stuck in the ice layer, moved! A silvery white light suddenly erupted! As if responding to a call!

One person and one sword, striving to release their auras, quickly alerted the other.

Jin Bao'er's eyes snapped open, and she unhesitatingly sped towards a certain direction! At this moment, the power within her was almost exhausted! If she didn't get out soon, she wouldn't be able to withstand the temperature here, let alone the cold within the storm…

She clutched the vine box in her arms, its faint warmth becoming her greatest comfort. The white frost and the knife-like cold wind around her caused unbearable pain, but it quickly disappeared! Because her body had gone rigid… she could no longer feel the pain.

Unlike when she first came, this time it lasted an exceptionally long time, long enough to make her body tremble uncontrollably, unable to even release her aura! Her connection to the Soul Severing Sword also became increasingly vague. The little sprite was also frozen stiff, but the supreme yang fire within it gave it strength. Sensing Jin Bao'er's current weakness, it became anxious!

"Hey, don't sleep! Wake up! If you sleep, you'll never get out!"

Jin Bao'er didn't respond, she couldn't hear anymore!

The little sprite was completely panicked! Wasn't this woman very strong? How could she fail at the last step? If she died, then it would be doomed…

Finally, the little sprite looked at the flames within its body, gritted its teeth, stomped its feet, and instantly transmitted its sprite power to her. Even though the power wasn't great, sprites were naturally auxiliary beings. The pure power quickly vanished like a stone sinking into the sea. Even though no effect was visible, it was slowly repairing Jin Bao'er's body!

After an unknown amount of time, the little sprite was almost out of energy when Jin Bao'er's eyelids finally twitched slightly! It was anxious, and hurriedly shouted, finally unable to help but cry in distress…

"Don't sleep! We can get out soon! Hold on, don't you still want to save people? Are you willing to die here? Just like that old man? I'm not willing, so you shouldn't be either! I haven't seen the Dark Elf Kingdom grow, I haven't built a real home yet…"

Jin Bao'er heard it, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her lips! Her reason returned, and she immediately calmed her mind, closing her eyes tightly…

The little sprite thought she was going to faint and almost screamed out!

However, in the next second, a dazzling golden light suddenly shone! Majestic rule power surged forth. Tiny golden lights, accompanied by some of the cold power within the storm, after pausing for a few seconds, quickly entered the woman's body. Countless golden lights representing merit shone brightly!

At this moment, Jin Bao'er's aura suddenly intensified. Without her even noticing, a trace of divine aura had appeared!

Then, a silver-white long sword fiercely pierced through the storm and came rushing over!

The light of a celestial artifact, accompanied by the power of the Great Dao, was instantly covered by frost, but the sword violently slashed through the air, shattering the frost on the spot, and then, fearless of hardship, continued to rush towards Jin Bao'er.

The familiar fluctuation of power made Jin Bao'er force her eyes open. Her pale face was set off by a pair of astonishingly bright eyes, which flickered with a light of both amazement and helplessness…
