Grand Elder's Aid! Queen Medusa's Thoughts!

Gu He saw all of this, but he had never held much goodwill toward the Grand Elder, so naturally, he would not step in to save her.

"Grand Elder!"

Seeing the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder caught in the energy unleashed by the fireball clash, Queen Medusa's heart sank, and her delicate body trembled violently.

In Queen Medusa's sight, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder was struck directly in the back by a fireball, after which terrifying flames spread across her entire body.

Under the searing of those terrifying flames, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder's clothes and hair were instantly burned away. Engulfed in fire, her body remained suspended in that area as she struggled relentlessly.

Seeing that the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder was about to perish beneath the blazing flames, Queen Medusa could no longer maintain her earlier calm. As her figure flashed forward, she spoke to the refined man in a trembling voice, "Senior, please save my tribe's Grand Elder. The Snake People Tribe will surely remember your immense kindness!"

When the Grand Elder had been caught in the attack, the refined man had initially remained somewhat indifferent. However, upon hearing Queen Medusa's plea, his resolve wavered slightly.

The next moment, he extended his palm toward the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder from afar. A strange suction force instantly erupted from his palm. Under that force, the flames covering the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder were helplessly drawn into his palm, while her body was flung toward Queen Medusa.

Not only did Gu He not try to stop the refined man's actions, he was instead rather pleased.

His original plan had been to have his clone put on an act of self-inflicted suffering to win enough of Queen Medusa's trust. Now, however, it seemed unnecessary. The appearance of the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder had unknowingly done Gu He a great favor.

After catching the terrifying body whose surface was covered in a layer of charred blackness, Queen Medusa's seductive eyes shimmered with tears, and she looked exceptionally sorrowful.

"Catch!"

At that moment, the refined man tossed a white jade bottle toward Queen Medusa and said in the same calm tone, "Have her take the pill inside. It will keep her alive."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Seeing the refined man distract himself from battling a powerful enemy to help her, Queen Medusa was deeply moved and thanked him sincerely.

Afterward, her jade-like hand gently twisted open the cap, and an extremely refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately wafted from the bottle.

Sensing the powerful energy contained within the pill, Queen Medusa did not hesitate to feed it into the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder's mouth.

As soon as the pill entered the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder's mouth, it swiftly transformed into a stream of pure medicinal liquid that flowed down her throat and into her body, rapidly repairing the inside of her body that had been scorched by the flames.

However, because the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder's injuries were far too severe, the pill could only preserve her life and could not instantly heal all her wounds. Intense pain still came from the parts of her body whose surface had been burned to charcoal.

Even so, Queen Medusa was already extremely satisfied, because the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder had regained consciousness after taking the pill.

Once the tension in her heart eased, Queen Medusa turned her gaze back toward Gu He and the refined man.

After changing into a fresh robe following her brush with death, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder also watched the battle in the distant sky with great anxiety.

Before, in the final moment before she lost consciousness, she had heard Queen Medusa's voice. The Snake People Tribe Grand Elder knew very well that it was this refined man who had saved her. Thus, an unusual glimmer appeared in her eyes as she looked at him.

Under the watchful eyes of the two women, the battle between the two fire beasts had already entered its fiercest stage. Every attack was a full-force clash, and sweat had begun to bead on the foreheads of the two men controlling the fire beasts.

Clearly, such an intense battle was an enormous drain even for these two terrifying experts.

Seeing this, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder suddenly said softly to Queen Medusa, "Your Majesty, this place is far too dangerous. Why don't we leave first?"

Hearing the Grand Elder's suggestion, Queen Medusa gently shook her head and sighed. "Grand Elder, if we leave like this and something happens to our benefactor, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

At this moment, Queen Medusa no longer cared to investigate why the refined man had saved her or whether he had some other motive. All her attention was focused entirely on the battle between the refined man and Gu He, praying that the refined man could defeat Gu He.

Unfortunately, the outcome of this battle was entirely under Gu He's control. Since Liu Ling was watching from afar, Gu He absolutely could not arrange for himself to lose this act. The loser had to be his clone.

Seeing Queen Medusa insist on staying, the Snake People Tribe Grand Elder could only remain as well.

The battle in the arena grew increasingly intense. As the Purple Qilin and the Formless Fire Python tangled together, Gu He and his clone also began fighting at close range.

The shockwaves from their battle directly shattered all the surrounding space. A terrifying pressure spread in every direction. After exchanging dozens of fierce moves, the refined man was suddenly struck in the chest by Gu He's fist, sending him flying back dozens of steps before he temporarily separated from Gu He.

"Benefactor!"

Seeing the refined man injured, Queen Medusa's heart suddenly began pounding wildly.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jin and Liu Ling, several thousand meters behind Gu He, shouted excitedly.

"Yeah! Master is awesome!"

"Master is awesome!"

"Master, give it a little more! Take that guy down!"

After Liu Ling said those words, Gu He's right eyelid suddenly twitched fiercely as he acted with his clone. However, such a trivial matter naturally did not draw his attention. At this moment, he was focused on arranging the ending of this act.

"Cough! Cough!"

After stabilizing himself, the refined man coughed twice. His face immediately turned somewhat pale, and he said to Gu He in a slightly weak voice, "You truly are strong!"

"Are you admitting defeat, sir? If you surrender, hand Queen Medusa over!" Upon hearing the refined man's words, Gu He assumed the posture of a victor.

At this moment, hearing the exchange between Gu He and the refined man, Queen Medusa felt extremely conflicted.

Although she knew that her life and death had nothing to do with this refined man, she inexplicably hoped that he would not abandon her.

"Though I cannot defeat you, today, I will protect Queen Medusa no matter what!"
