Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python
Queen Medusa made such a commotion that her piercing screams echoed throughout the entire underground world.
At that moment, countless Snake People Race were restless, their faces filled with worry as they looked towards the source of the sound.
Some people tried to rush into the cave where Medusa evolved, but they were stopped by Medusa's Personal Guard and could only stand outside, anxiously waiting for the outcome.
Outside the cave where Medusa evolved, the leaders and elders of the Snake People Race clenched their fists and looked worried as they listened to Medusa's screams.
"Evolution has begun; now, we can only wait for the final result."
"Sigh, I hope Her Majesty the Queen will succeed..."
Zi Yan, who was mixed in with them, also had a serious expression on her small face.
Only Xiao Yi Xian remained calm, after all, she had absolutely no connection with Medusa.
Inside the Heavenly Cave, Xiao Ming had retreated a distance to the edge. The stone platform where he had been standing had long since become a dark, empty hole. At a rough glance, the hole was probably at least ten meters deep, and cracks the size of a human head spread outwards like a spider web.
The amount of energy required for Medusa's evolution was not small.
Therefore, Xiao Ming did not hold back, frequently inputting large amounts of Dou Qi Energy into the Green Lotus Core Flame.
The Green Lotus Core Flame, having received a sufficient supply of Dou Qi, emitted terrifyingly high temperatures, thus causing this result.
Within the blue flames, Queen Medusa's shrill screams, which had been blaring for nearly half an hour, gradually began to weaken.
At this moment, perhaps because its power had been exhausted, the Purple Snake's huge body had almost stopped rolling. Its body, which was originally covered with beautiful purple scales, was now charred black. Its body, which was more than ten feet long, had been burned down to only two or three feet. It was hard to imagine how many bones and blood had been burned away by the Heavenly Flames in this body.
As Queen Medusa's screams faded, all the Snake People Race stood up in unison, hoping for a miracle.
As time passed, at a certain moment, a mournful cry echoed throughout the cave, and instantly, a somber atmosphere enveloped the entire cave.
"Has Your Her Majesty the Queen failed?" Seeing no movement from inside the cave, Yue Mei asked with a bitter expression.
"..."
The surrounding Snake People Race clenched their fists in disbelief.
"Master Xiao Ming hasn't come out yet, so there's no failure. Let's continue waiting." In the end, it was the Snake-Man Elder who spoke.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ming, whom the snake-man elder had mentioned, was keeping a close eye on Medusa, assessing her condition.
Within the azure flames, Queen Medusa lay motionless, the Azure Green Lotus Core Flame relentlessly burning upon her body, a faint, acrid smell slowly emanating from it.
Xiao Ming could not find any Aura of life in it.
"It failed?"
After frowning and observing for a moment, Xiao Ming suddenly raised his head, looked at the sky that had suddenly become much darker, and remained silent for a moment.
"That Medusa is really lucky."
Outside the cave, Zi Yan waited anxiously, her eyes brimming with tears.
"The Heaven and Earth Energy has suddenly surged violently." Suddenly, Xiao Yi Xian's clear and cold voice rang out, and her gaze seemed to be able to pierce through walls as she looked up at the sky.
Outside, the once bright moonlit sky had become incredibly dark, with clusters of dark clouds, seemingly appearing from nowhere, slowly enveloping the entire horizon.
"Boom!" Suddenly, Thunder roar echoed from within the dark clouds, and silver lightning bolts darted about wildly within them, like long silver snakes.
The sudden clap of thunder left everyone stunned and bewildered.
The Great Elder of the Snake People Race was the first to react, and said with some excitement, "It's a success?"
According to the records of the Snake People Race, if evolution is successful and the Clan Bloodline is noble enough, it will attract heavenly lightning. This scene seems to fit perfectly.
As soon as the Snake People Race's Great Elder finished speaking, a tremendous roar resounded from the dark clouds in the sky.
In an instant, the world brightened, and a massive silver Thunder bolt shot down from the clouds, drilled into the underground cave, and finally pierced through the Purple Light Curtain, crashing into the ball of blue flames.
The Thunder came quickly and went even faster. Before the Thunder roar in everyone's ears had completely dissipated, the dark clouds in the sky began to recede rapidly, and a moment later, the bright moonlight once again poured into the cave.
After the lightning struck, a faint blue mist seeped out from the Purple Giant Serpent, obscuring Xiao Ming's vision.
"The cyan mist is what was released from the collision between the Thunder and the Heavenly Flames earlier. Soul Power cannot penetrate it, and the situation inside has been completely isolated. If you want to know, you can only go closer."
After scanning the light screen with his Soul Perception, Xiao Ming concluded that his body was currently enveloped in a powerful Dou Qi Energy shield.
Just now, when the Thunder struck down from the sky, Thunder also had a huge impact on him, who was not far from Medusa.
The entire underground cave was deepened by more than twenty meters.
Stepping towards the place where Medusa was, as he gradually approached the center, the Green Lotus Core Flame that Xiao Ming had released earlier reappeared. However, the azure flame had now shrunk to the size of a fist, hovering quietly in mid-air, constantly changing its shape.
Xiao Ming could sense that the Dou Qi he had channeled into him had been completely exhausted.
With a wave of his right hand, Xiao Ming put away the Green Lotus Core Flame and then turned his gaze to the ground.
There lay a giant snake, its body charred black, motionless and cold, indistinguishable from a dead snake.
Before Xiao Ming could make any move, a slight clicking sound suddenly rang out.
Under Xiao Ming's gaze, the charred skin on the stiff, limp corpse of the giant snake slowly peeled off...
The rate of shedding gradually increased, until finally, Xiao could vaguely see something about to burst out from within the giant snake's corpse.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the giant snake corpse on the ground exploded with a loud bang, its black scales flying everywhere, and a section of the corpse instantly turned into powder.
The instant the giant snake's corpse turned to dust, a vast and terrifying Aura was suddenly released, rapidly enveloping the area at an alarming speed.
"Her Majesty the Queen has succeeded?" Sensing a faint sense of familiarity within this Aura, countless Snake-People exchanged bewildered glances, then their faces lit up with wild joy, their earth-shattering cheers echoing through the sky.
But in just ten seconds, the Aura that had erupted subsided rapidly, like a receding tide.
As the Aura vanished once more, the Snake-People's cheers came to an abrupt halt. All the Snake-People were stunned, their hearts filled with trepidation and anticipation.
The snake's explosion kicked up clouds of black dust.
Black dust, like snowflakes, gradually fell down. In a sudden instant, a Seven-Colored Light Silhouette burst out from the mist. The speed of the light was so fast that it seemed to penetrate the barrier of space, catching people off guard.
Xiao Ming could clearly see the outline of the Seven-Colored Light Silhouette, but he did not make any move, letting the Seven-Colored Light Silhouette flash forward with a sharp sound of wind breaking.
When they were only a few centimeters apart, the Seven-Colored Light Silhouette that was shooting towards Xiao Ming stopped in front of him. The transition between extreme movement and extreme stillness was almost perfectly smooth, without the slightest sense of distortion.
The Seven-Colored Light Silhouette stopped a few centimeters in front of Xiao Ming, finally exposing its body to the latter's view.
The creature that appeared before Xiao Ming was a small, slender snake that was only about two centimeters long.
Its entire body was covered with tiny, Cai Lin, and it had pale purple snake eyes. It had a faintly eerie feeling, and a strange, fresh fragrance lingered around its body. Although it was only a snake now, it exuded elegance and nobility.
Although the little snake doesn't look too fierce and is almost too beautiful, many people might forget their fear and disgust towards snakes because of its beauty.
Even Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel a bit of fondness for it.
The Seven-Colored Little Snake doesn't have many sharp attack parts, but its small body contains terrifying power that even Dou Huang Expert wouldn't dare to underestimate.
The small snake hovered in front of Xiao Ming, its pale purple pupils devoid of any murderous Aura; instead, they appeared extremely pure and clean.
The Seven-Colored Little Snake swayed its tiny tail slightly, stared at Xiao Ming in front of it with its large, pale purple eyes, and tentatively moved forward a little bit.
Seeing that Xiao Ming did not react, it swished its tail, spun around, and slid onto Xiao Ming's shoulder. It curled up slightly, its pale purple eyes looking at Xiao Ming with a pitiful expression. It even nuzzled Xiao Ming's cheek with its little head.
"A body of seven colors, pupils slightly purple, a fragrant aroma, and strength reaching the heavens... Heh, truly a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python..."
Xiao Ming stretched out his finger and gently rubbed the little guy's head for a moment.
The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python seemed to enjoy being touched by Xiao Ming.
After a moment, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python suddenly raised its crystal-clear eyes and let out a few soft hissing sounds at Xiao Ming. The gentle tone was as if it were flirting.
Seeing the Seven-Colored Little Snake's actions, Xiao Ming smiled slightly.
"This little guy is quite lovable." With a flick of his wrist, a small Jade Bottle filled with purple liquid appeared in his hand.
Xiao Ming didn't use the Companion Amethyst Source much after obtaining it, but kept it as a collection.
As soon as the Jade Bottle appeared, the small snake that had been coiled in mid-air instantly appeared in the palm of the hand, as if by teleportation. It poked its tiny head into the Jade Bottle and licked it several times with its tongue. Soon, nearly one-twentieth of the Companion Amethyst Source in the bottle was gone.
This thing was of no use to Xiao Ming; it was just a collectible. So, Xiao Ming didn't mind that the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python had absorbed some of it.
The little creature didn't greedily ingest the food. After licking it a few times, it pulled its head away, its clear, bright snake eyes gleaming with excitement and satisfaction.
Perhaps because it had absorbed the Companion Amethyst Source, the Seven-Colored Little Snake looked at Xiao Ming with even greater affection.
After patting the little guy's head, Xiao Ming led it out of the cave.
Rumble!
The stone gate leading to the evolution site slowly opened.
Xiao Ming's figure came into everyone's view.
Zi Yan was the first to dart in front of Xiao Ming, tiptoeing to look behind him, but she only saw empty air.
"Where's Medusa?" Zi Yan asked anxiously, blinking her eyes.
Before Xiao Ming could answer, the Snake People Race had already gathered around him.
"Wait, I know what you want to ask. Look, this is Medusa."
Xiao Ming spoke first, then took the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python off his shoulder.
The crowd stared in astonishment at the Colored Little Snake in Xiao Ming's hand.
"This... is this Her Majesty the Queen? How did Her Majesty become so small?" Yue Mei asked in surprise, her red lips slightly parted.
"According to historical records, this situation is indeed possible." The Great Elder of the Snake People Race, being more knowledgeable, spoke up to clarify the matter for everyone.
"So cute!"
Zi Yan's eyes lit up as she looked at the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python in Xiao Ming's hand. She carefully took it from Xiao Ming and examined it closely.
Perhaps because of Medusa's soul, or perhaps for other reasons, the Seven-Colored Python did not feel repulsed by Zi Yan's actions; on the contrary, it accepted her caresses with a sense of peace.
Looking at the Colored Little Snake that was comfortably squinting its eyes, the Snake People Race all wore strange expressions.
"This personality doesn't seem like Her Majesty the Queen. Could something be wrong?"
Zi Yan also noticed something strange and looked up at Xiao Ming, asking, "Did Sister Medusa succeed? Why can't she transform into human form and talk to us?"
"Because the body is currently dominated by the soul of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, not Medusa's soul. Due to the excessive energy consumed during evolution, Medusa's soul has fallen into a deep sleep. As for why Medusa has two souls, that's due to the Snake-People Secret Technique."
After giving Zi Yan a brief explanation, Xiao Ming said, "Alright, Zi Yan, hand Queen Medusa over to the Great Elder."
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder of the Snake People Race looked expectantly at the Seven-Colored Little Snake in Zi Yan's hand.
Zi Yan reluctantly touched the Colored Little Snake.
This little snake is so cute, I can't help but love it.
After struggling for a while, Zi Yan slowly extended the Colored Little Snake.
Just as Zi Yan was being handed over, facing the hands of the Snake People Race's Great Elder, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python flicked its tail, its body flashing through space like lightning, and then landed on Xiao Ming's shoulder.
"Master Xiao Ming, this is..." The Great Elder's face was full of astonishment.
"Well, maybe this little guy, like a newborn baby, is a bit dependent on me because I'm the first person he sees."
"What do we do now?" Looking at the small snake coiled around Xiao Ming's shoulder, the Snake-People felt helpless; they dared not use force.
