Queen Medusa's Evolution, Xiao Yan Raids Her Home
On a dark and windy night, the area around the Snake-Person Tribe Temple was under extremely tight security.
As a member of the guard team, Xiao Yan was responsible for a hidden sentry post.
"Teacher, it seems Queen Medusa is preparing to make her move. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly raised the alert level so high."
Xiao Yan remained hidden in the shadows, speaking to himself.
"Yes, I've sensed all the presence around us. In five minutes, there will be a window of opportunity. Let's move out during this time. I'll conceal your presence for you."
"That's what the Old Yao said."
"Teacher, do you really not have any movement techniques Dou Technique? The Explosive Step is such a commotion."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask.
To quickly traverse the blind spots of numerous sentry posts, it's best to have a fast and quiet Dou Technique.
In terms of speed, his Explosive Step are decent.
But the commotion...
It's a long story!
"What do I need movement techniques Dou Technique? With one slap, even Dou Zong expert would be shattered to pieces, unable to reassemble. Besides, as an alchemist, I often don't even need to lift a finger."
The Old Yao's words were somewhat reminiscent of Versailles.
"Alright, alright!"
Xiao Yan was somewhat disappointed, wondering if he should say a few sweet words to his beloved female master to see if he could get her movement techniques Dou Technique.
After waiting for a short while, the Old Yao's voice echoed in my mind:
"It's almost time, let's go!"
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded and then concealed himself in the darkness. He took out a black robe from his Storage Ring, put it on, and after the effects of the Snake Form Pill were neutralized, he ran towards the corridor inside the temple.
With the help of Old Yao's powerful soul perception, Xiao Yan evaded the patrol team and the sentries, stealthily making his way for nearly ten minutes until his vision suddenly opened up, revealing a small, clear lake.
In the middle of the lake, there is a small island surrounded by shimmering water, with no bridges or roads leading to it.
Standing at the edge of the lake, Xiao Yan glanced at the crystal-clear water and stopped in his tracks.
"Be careful. There's an energy barrier above the lake. Anything flying will be forcibly pushed into the lake. Moreover, the lake is clearly highly poisonous. Even a small amount could cause trouble for Dou Wang expert."
The Old Yao's voice echoed in my heart.
"Just as I thought!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan scratched his head in slight distress. This Queen Medusa was indeed quite cautious...
"It seems we have no choice but to use the most rudimentary method. Just like last time when we entered the lava lake, I'll envelop you in my Heavenly Flames. You need to hurry and get to the island, otherwise, you'll probably be reduced to ashes."
The Old Yao hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly.
"I'll handle it. Poison isn't like molten lava. My Myriad Beast Spirit Fire has grown somewhat and should be able to withstand it."
Xiao Yan shook his head, and then blood-red Dou Qi Gauze and flames were released from his body at the same time, enveloping his entire body. Then, with a splash, he jumped into the lake.
His body moved as nimbly as a fish in the clear lake. Xiao Yan glanced at the blood-red flames on his body and couldn't help but shake his head.
At this moment, under the scorching heat of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, the surrounding lake water began to boil like boiling water. As white bubbles continuously rose, strands of deep purple liquid, barely perceptible to the naked eye, slowly emerged.
However, when these deep purple liquids were about to come into contact with the blood-red flames, they were burned into nothingness and vanished into the world.
Watching this scene, Xiao Yan felt a little regretful. If Xiao Yi Xian had come, she would definitely have had a great time.
However, feeling the intense depletion of his Dou Qi, Xiao Yan immediately composed himself and sped up, heading closer to the small island in the center of the lake.
As he swam steadily towards the small island in the center of the lake, the calm surface suddenly erupted with a spray of water. The unexpected event made Xiao Yan's heart tighten. He looked up and stared intently at the source of the spray, his pupils shrinking instantly.
As water splashed down, a giant snake covered in emerald green scales and with a triangular head burst forth from the bottom of the lake. It opened its ferocious maw and lunged at Xiao Yan, its diamond-shaped pupils filled with a wild and savage energy.
"Holy crap, a gatekeeper snake!"
The giant snake's attack made Xiao Yan curse under his breath. He then placed his hands at his sides, palms facing outwards, and unleashed a powerful attack called "Blowing or Fire Palm."
Bang!
With a muffled thud, a burst of force erupted, splashing water everywhere. Xiao Yan's body flew completely out of the water, tracing a perfect parabola before flipping in mid-air, his feet slightly bent, and landing on the shore.
The feeling of being grounded brought him peace of mind, and Xiao Yan didn't even bother with the giant snake that dared not chase after him. He then sensed a strong aura of Heavenly Flames.
"The aura of Heavenly Flames..."
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan's dark eyes blazed with intense heat. If he could obtain the Green Lotus Core Flame, he would possess two different kinds of Heavenly Flames. Once he reached Jia Nan Academy, he would acquire the Fallen Heart Flame, then deal with Han Feng and obtain the Sea Heart Flame...
With four Heavenly Flames in hand, whoever dares to challenge him will be devoured by the Destruction Fire Lotus!
The crimson flames on his body receded back into his body, Old Yao's voice rang out once more:
"Be careful, Queen Medusa is inside too, but she shouldn't be paying attention to you right now. I can perfectly conceal your presence. Just play it by ear later."
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan tiptoed into the bamboo forest.
Walking along the path through the bamboo forest, the atmosphere was quiet, with only the extremely faint sound of Xiao Yan's footsteps falling on the grass.
Although Old Yao was no longer guiding the way, Xiao Yan was still able to find the correct path by relying on the strange aura of the Heavenly Flames faintly emanating from the air.
With unhurried steps, he turned the corners of several paths, and the view gradually opened up. The instant he turned the corner, Xiao Yan suddenly bent down, quickly hiding his figure in a clump of grass. His gaze pierced through the gaps in the leaves, looking at an open area in the center of the small island.
This is a circular open area. The surrounding bamboo and flower bushes have been cleaned up, and small, smooth pebbles have been scattered throughout, creating a small pool in the open space.
The pool was filled with crystal-clear water, and white mist swirled around its surface. Even from a great distance, Xiao Yan could still feel the extreme cold it contained.
"Ice Spirit Cold Spring..."
Staring intently at the glistening liquid, Xiao Yan's fist hardened after a long while.
As expected, it was the Ice Spirit Cold Spring that Queen Medusa took away. Judging from this, not only the Jueyou Valley, but probably most of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring that the Jia Ma Empire could possess are all here!
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the stone platform placed in the center of the lake. The top of the stone platform was a lotus seat carved from some kind of strange crystal, and a ball of blue flame was slowly rising.
