• An unknown voice told Gu He’s party that Medusa was using the Heavenly Flame to evolve and break through to Dou Zong.

• Yao Lao warned Gu He’s group that Medusa was undergoing a breakthrough, and Yun Yun’s explanation convinced Gu He to attack while she was vulnerable.
• Gu He, Jia Xingtian, Yun Yun, and the others fought the Snake-People Tribe’s defenders and pushed the battle toward Medusa’s island, inflicting heavy losses.

• Silver lightning struck Medusa, destroying the purple snake’s body, but Jiang Xing found a Seven-Colored Tiny Snake alive in the wreckage.
• The Seven-Colored Tiny Snake climbed onto Jiang Xing’s hand and pointed at his Storage Ring, apparently asking for something inside.

Jiang Xing cared for the Seven-Colored Tiny Snake after Medusa’s evolution, then looted Xiao Yan and Yao Chen’s belongings while keeping both captives alive. He took the Bone Chilling Flame and stored Xiao Yan with himself, planning to use Yao Chen as leverage rather than risk making Gu Xun’er an enemy.

• Jiang Xing fed the Seven-Colored Tiny Snake Amethyst Accompanying Source and explained to the snake people that Medusa would awaken after her soul recovered.

Jiang Cheng arrived in time to back Jiang Xing, who released Xiao Yan rather than risk a conflict with Gu Yuan's family.
