Medusa's Evolution

"Teacher, they're fighting. When do we make our move?"

Xiao Yan had been hiding behind a rock, watching.

After learning that Gu He's group had also come to the Snake-People Race in search of the Heavenly Flames, he decided to follow them and fish in troubled waters.

"Don't rush. They've only just started fighting. Wait until the others are distracted as well, then we'll act." Yao Lao told Xiao Yan to stay calm.

After waiting another two minutes.

"Now, move!"

Upon receiving Yao Lao's command, Xiao Yan immediately rushed out.

With Yao Lao possessing him, even half the Snake-People guards could not stop him.

Even if they discovered him, Yao Lao could eliminate everyone at once.

He successfully infiltrated the Snake-People Royal City.

"Teacher, where are the Heavenly Flames?"

Looking at the vast Royal City, Xiao Yan had no idea where to go for a moment.

"There are four traces of Heavenly Flames around us. Queen Medusa must have deliberately created them to confuse our sense of direction."

"Then what do we do? If we choose the wrong direction, we won't get another chance."

"Don't worry, we won't be wrong. Such petty tricks can't fool your teacher. Go east." Yao Lao quickly pointed out the correct direction.

Xiao Yan immediately headed east, feeling somewhat relieved.

Because just moments ago, he had seen Gu He heading north.

In other words, Gu He had chosen the wrong direction.

The Green Lotus Core Flame was his!

Within the Forbidden Land.

Medusa had already begun the evolution process.

She undid the seal on the Green Lotus Core Flame, and the scorching waves of fire roared out like an enraged dragon that had been bound for years.

At the same time, the surrounding Ice Spirit Cold Spring was rapidly being consumed and evaporated to suppress the flames of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Time was of the essence. Medusa did not hesitate. Clenching her silver teeth, she raised a hand and undid the clasps of her brocade robe, revealing a flawless, snow-white body.

Ning Su stood guard nearby.

He had to keep watch over the entrance to the Forbidden Land and wait for Xiao Yan to arrive, while also watching Medusa's evolution.

It was not Ning Su's first time seeing Medusa naked.

But this was the first time he had seen her so completely exposed.

Queen Medusa was born with a seductive charm, one that held a fatal attraction for men.

Normally, Ning Su did not feel much.

But seeing Medusa's body so clearly now made his heart stir with heat.

The next moment, Medusa formed hand seals again, stirring fierce energy fluctuations around her. In the end, they formed a massive vortex of energy that shot into the sky.

Then, with a flicker, she transformed into a huge Purple Giant Serpent and soared into the air.

It was at that moment that Xiao Yan burst in from outside.

From afar, he saw the Purple Giant Python Medusa had transformed into circling the Heavenly Flames in flight.

"Teacher, is Queen Medusa about to begin evolving?"

"Yes. Don't rush. Let's observe the situation first. If her evolution fails, no one will stop us." Yao Lao told Xiao Yan to remain calm.

If they acted now, Medusa could abandon her evolution and attack them directly.

With Yao Lao's current strength, facing Medusa at her peak, he could only guarantee Xiao Yan's safe retreat.

But seizing the Heavenly Flames would be nearly impossible.

Outside the Royal City.

The Purple Energy Pillar soaring into the sky drew everyone's attention.

"Damn humans! Once Her Majesty the Queen succeeds in evolving, none of you will escape!" Yue Mei said resentfully.

For the humans to fight their way to their doorstep was a humiliation to every member of the Snake-People Race.

"But if the evolution fails, your Snake-People Race will completely fall apart before long," the black-robed man said.

There were only two possible outcomes for evolution.

Either success or failure.

And the odds were one to nine.

"Her Majesty the Queen will definitely succeed!"

Yue Mei and Hua She'er charged forward once more.

"Teacher, how is she going to use the Heavenly Flames to evolve? Is she going to devour them?"

"If she devours the Heavenly Flames, won't we be unable to obtain them too?"

Xiao Yan suddenly thought of this.

If Medusa devoured the Heavenly Flames, would that not mean they had no chance?

But Yao Lao did not think so. "I don't think that's very likely. Heavenly Flames are highly suppressive toward the Snake-People Race."

"Although Queen Medusa can forcibly suppress the Green Lotus Core Flame with her immense strength, refining the Heavenly Flames is unlikely."

"I even think her evolution cannot possibly succeed."

"Then that's good."

With Yao Lao saying that, Xiao Yan relaxed as well.

After circling the Green Lotus Core Flame several times in the air, the Purple Giant Serpent suddenly plunged into the Heavenly Flames.

The sight left both Xiao Yan and Yao Lao dumbfounded.

Just after Medusa charged into the Heavenly Flames, a shrill scream echoed throughout the Forbidden Land, making everyone's scalp tingle.

The scream continued for a while before abruptly cutting off.

The enormous Purple Giant Python turned into a charred corpse and fell to the ground.

Queen Medusa's evolution had failed!

The shock in Xiao Yan's heart lingered for a long time.

He had not expected the infamous Queen Medusa to perish in such a manner.

"Don't dwell on it. The Green Lotus Core Flame is right there. Hurry and take it," Yao Lao urgently reminded him.

Medusa's failed evolution was a good thing for them.

And the Green Lotus Core Flame was right beside them. Taking the Heavenly Flames away was the priority.

But just as Xiao Yan was about to make his move, a pitch-black figure stepped in front of them first.

It was Ning Su!

"This is..." Xiao Yan hurriedly stopped, staring at the familiar giant snake before him.

"Is this the giant snake from underground that day?!"

He quickly recognized Ning Su.

During their battle in the desert last time, Xiao Yan had failed to keep Ning Su behind.

"I didn't expect it to be on Queen Medusa's side!"

Ning Su coiled his massive body and stared at Xiao Yan.

Trying to take the Heavenly Flames? Dream on!

Medusa had been evolving just now, so he had not directly shown himself to drive Xiao Yan away. He had been afraid that fighting would affect Medusa.

Now that Medusa had completed her evolution, how could Ning Su let Xiao Yan take the Green Lotus Core Flame?

"It wants to guard the Green Lotus Core Flame. End this quickly and seize the Heavenly Flames!" Yao Lao said gravely.

"Teacher, I'll leave it to you!"

Xiao Yan decisively handed his body over to Yao Lao.

They had already witnessed Ning Su's strength during their previous encounter.

Xiao Yan was certainly no match for him. Only Yao Lao could fight him.

Yao Lao did not stand on ceremony. He removed the Heavy Black Ruler from his back and leaped forward.

Flame Splitting Wave Ruler!

He opened with a killing move.

They could not drag this out. They had to end it quickly.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome once the Snake-People experts outside arrived.

Ning Su snorted coldly, neither dodging nor retreating.

Trying to steal the Heavenly Flames?

First, get past him!

Extreme Cold Ice Armor!

Mysterious Fire Armor!

Bronze Skin, Iron Bones!

Ning Su deployed layer upon layer of defenses and relied on his powerful physical body to clash head-on with Yao Lao.

Boom!!!

The two sides were evenly matched.

Ning Su opened his mouth and sprayed out black venom, which transformed into countless dense arrows.

Deadly Poison!
