The temperature was so high that even the air was distorted. It was much higher than Lin Xuan had imagined. After all, he was so close to the center of the volcano.
Below him was the boiling lava that would bubble from time to time. The temperature was even more frighteningly high.
However, after crawling for a while, Lin Xuan felt that his feet were a little hot, and he was sweating profusely. Fortunately, he had a strong defense and could bear it.
"Where is the Blood-Lipid spiritual fruit?"
The surrounding environment could be seen at a glance. There was no other vegetation growing here, and even the Flame fruit that liked heat could not resist the temperature here.
Soon, a red plant came into his view. Under the heat wave, a few full and juicy fruits swayed as if they were about to fall.
The fruit was shaped like a flame, as though it was a ball of fire that was burning fiercely. The vein lines of it were extremely clear and evenly spread out like the Blood veins in a human body. This was the Blood-Lipid spirit fruit that Lin Xuan was looking for!
It could be said that he had worn out his iron shoes in a long search, but found it without any effort.
"Good fellow, I've finally found you."
It was said that the Blood-Lipid spirit fruit had a lifespan of a hundred years and was extremely precious. Lin Xuan didn't want to waste it, so he swallowed it all. In a blink of an eye, only a few bare branches were left.
As the spirit fruit entered his stomach, Lin Xuan felt his mouth go dry. At the same time, a warm current surged up and flowed along his meridians, rampaging through his body. Wherever it passed, his Blood would boil like boiling water.
If there was a mirror right now, Lin Xuan would definitely see that he was completely red. His entire turtle body looked like it was cooked, and his heart was beating faster and faster.
He was afraid that if this continued, he might really self-ignite on the spot. In his daze, he felt that all his Blood had been burned dry.
Lin Xuan was running around like a headless fly, desperately trying to find a water source to lower the temperature, but there was only lava in front of him.
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
"It's over. I didn't die at the hands of those Demonic beasts. Instead, I'm going to die at the hands of these small fruits."
What he didn't know was that the Blood-Lipid spirit fruit's effects were extremely powerful and tyrannical. Ordinary Demonic beasts only needed to eat one. If they ate more, their bodies wouldn't be able to withstand so much power, and the final outcome would be exploding.
It was all thanks to the system that Lin Xuan's defense had increased by quite a bit. Otherwise, he would have become a dried Turtle corpse by now.
It was not easy to get through this. Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he felt that his body temperature had finally dropped. At the same time, the benefits it brought were huge.

"It has actually increased by so much."
His health, which was in the Vitality strength column, was actually equal to his defense. It seemed that the pain he had suffered before was not in vain.
But it's still too dangerous. It seems like he can't be so reckless next time.
Lin Xuan's heart was still fluttering with fear. He was lucky this time. If it were any other ordinary Demonic beast that ate so many Blood-Lipid spirit fruits, they would not be able to digest them at all and would explode to death sooner or later.
Wealth came from danger. At this moment, his Health bar had increased greatly, which was equivalent to him becoming more tanky. At this time, the overall attributes of ordinary Demonic beasts might not exceed 10.
Lin Xuan's Defense and Health bar could be said to be very strong and impressive, but his Speed and Attack powers were also terrible.
Kengchi kengchi-
Heavy breathing sounds came from not far away, instantly raising Lin Xuan's vigilance. Could there be other Demonic beasts here?
"BOOM!"
With a loud bang, the volcano started to shake again as the lava bloomed like fireworks. The scene was spectacular to the extreme, but Lin Xuan was not in the mood to appreciate it because this high temperature could turn ordinary beasts into ashes in an instant!
Countless sparks flew and landed on the ground, instantly creating small black holes. He quickly hid in his turtle shell, but even so, he could smell a faint burning smell.
Fortunately, his Tortoise shell could withstand the fire and did not get a hole burnt into it.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The sound was like the beating of a drum, even the ground was shaking. Lin Xuan's heart was in his throat as if some creature was approaching him.
Lin Xuan carefully stuck his head out, and then an outline of a creature could be vaguely seen in the fire.
Its rock-hard skin was exposed to the air and wasn't affected by the high temperature at all. Red beast stripes covered its body, and as it walked, it looked like real lava was flowing.
The huge horn was wrapped in flames, burning with hatred, and it was aimed at Lin Xuan's direction.
[Seventh-rank Demonic beast, Lava Rhinoceros]
It was the Blood-Lipid spiritual fruit's Guardian Demonic beast!
The Lava Rhinoceros looked at the empty branch, but the spiritual fruit on it was gone. It stomped its feet, and the earth shook again.
It had only left for a short while, and a thief had already sneaked in and finished looting the fruit it had carefully guarded.
The Lava Rhinoceros's rage had reached its peak!
Looking at the huge body rushing towards him, Lin Xuan knew that this was bad.
Oh no, this bull is coming!
