Queen Medusa Injured

High in the sky, dark golden light and blood-red light blazed brightly, nearly enveloping the entire heavens.

Blood Flame billowed and churned, finally converging into a massive pillar of scarlet fire that shot straight into the sky. The searing heat made even Chen Mo, thousands of kilometers away, break out in a heavy sweat.

Chen Mo was slightly amazed. With his current reserves of Dou Qi and strength, he was still incapable of driving Blood Flame to such an extent.

"Your Majesty, who do you think will win?" Chen Mo softly asked Queen Medusa as she watched the sky.

"This Queen," Queen Medusa replied coolly.

Chen Mo: "Uh..."

"The Azure Lightning Blood Eagle has been consumed by rage and has lost its reason. Its vitality is also inferior to the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King's. If the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle cannot decide the battle quickly, then the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King will definitely win."

Queen Medusa suddenly said.

"Oh!" Chen Mo murmured.

What followed felt as though Chen Mo were personally immersed in an exhilarating 3D movie.

The battle between the two Tier 6 Magic Beasts tore the forest below into a vast expanse of bare yellow earth. Countless Magic Beasts scrambled to flee from within it.

When the storm swept over them, Chen Mo would have long since been blown away if Queen Medusa had not grabbed his hand.

Yet Chen Mo cleverly wrapped an arm around Queen Medusa's waist.

"What a strong wind! Your Majesty, you have to stand firm, or both of us will get blown away."

Chen Mo wore an expression that said he had only held her waist to keep from being blown away by the gale.

"Human." Killing intent filled Queen Medusa's phoenix eyes as she spoke coldly. In such a powerful energy storm, she would not throw him aside. She only hoped he would have the sense to let go.

Instead, he held her even tighter.

"You!" Queen Medusa was helpless and decided to settle the score with him afterward.

The two enormous beasts collided in midair like bolts of lightning. At the moment of impact, space itself seemed to fall still.

Boom!

A thunderous roar exploded out of nowhere across the darkened sky.

"The victor is about to be decided," Queen Medusa said.

"Yeah."

Chen Mo saw that both the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle and the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King were covered in blood. He could not tell whether it was their own blood or each other's, but the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King was clearly in better condition than the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle.

"So, can you let go now?" Queen Medusa turned and gave Chen Mo a cold glance.

As the storm subsided, Queen Medusa had already released Chen Mo's hand. Yet he had both arms wrapped around her slender waist.

"Well... the weather is really nice."

Chen Mo sheepishly released Queen Medusa's slim waist, scratching his head with one hand as he looked at the darkening night.

Queen Medusa said nothing. She simply swung her snake tail and sent Chen Mo flying more than ten meters away.

Over this period of time, Chen Mo had developed a remarkable ability to endure beatings and falls. Before he hit the ground, he struck backward with his palm, borrowing the force to steady himself.

Her favorability didn't decrease. Nice.

Chen Mo gave himself a mental thumbs-up.

At the same time.

The battle had reached its end.

The Dark Gold Magic Tiger King slammed its sharp tiger claw into the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle's enormous wing, leaving behind a vicious claw mark. The latter let out a piercing screech.

But after only one cry, its throat was bitten apart by the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King, which then forcibly tore off its head.

Just as it spat out the eagle's head and prepared to deliver its victory speech.

Queen Medusa, who had been standing beside Chen Mo, vanished.

The next moment, a flash of red light appeared above the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King.

"Who is it?" The Dark Gold Magic Tiger King's expression changed drastically.

Then.

Bang!

Like a kite with its string cut, it plummeted heavily toward the ground below, just like the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle's body.

Boom!

The earth shook, kicking up vast clouds of dust.

When the dust dispersed, a massive earthen crater was revealed. The Dark Gold Magic Tiger King was not yet dead. It spat out mouthfuls of bloody foam and asked unwillingly, "Who are you?"

Whoosh!

Its answer was a red arrow that shot into its chest.

Queen Medusa put away her longbow and flew downward.

Chen Mo stepped on his flying sword and arrived at the edge of the crater.

The scene was a complete mess. Not a single tree remained intact, and the blood spilled by the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle had dyed large stretches of earth crimson.

After landing, Queen Medusa casually stood to one side and glanced at Chen Mo, as if saying: Get to work. What are you standing around for? Do you want This Queen to do it herself?

Holding Tian Yuan, Chen Mo first dug out the Magic Core from the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle's head, then stored its head in his Storage Ring. Every part of a Tier 6 Magic Beast was valuable and could not be wasted.

However, when he tried to stuff the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle's body into the Storage Ring, he discovered that its space was limited and could not hold it.

Chen Mo put it into the system backpack.

Queen Medusa was slightly surprised. She had given Chen Mo that Storage Ring herself, so she naturally knew how much space it contained. There was no way it could store the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle's massive body.

Yet it had been stored just now.

Queen Medusa pressed her lips together but ultimately did not ask.

Chen Mo then went over to the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King's body. Its corpse was relatively intact.

Most Magic Beast Cores were located in the head, so Chen Mo began searching around the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King's head.

As expected of a metal-attributed Magic Beast.

Chen Mo had to exert a little force before Tian Yuan pierced the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King's skull.

He quickly found the Magic Core.

The Dark Gold Magic Tiger King's Magic Core was much larger than the Azure Lightning Blood Eagle's, roughly the size of two of Chen Mo's fists.

Just as Chen Mo was about to dig it out, a dazzling white light erupted from the Magic Core.

"Move!"

Queen Medusa had been watching Chen Mo the entire time. The moment she saw the white light shoot out, she shouted loudly. With a flash of red light, she appeared beside Chen Mo and shoved him away.

Boom!

The white light struck Queen Medusa in the left shoulder.

"Pfft!" Queen Medusa spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face went pale.

Chen Mo, who had been pushed to the ground, froze. He did not know what was happening, but he was even more worried about Queen Medusa.

Seeing Queen Medusa sway as though she were about to collapse, Chen Mo slapped the ground with his palm and shot forward, catching her.

Queen Medusa fell into his arms.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Chen Mo lowered his head to look at the wound. Seeing that it was not fatal, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. But immediately afterward, an inexplicable pain clenched his heart.

Queen Medusa had been injured because of him.

"It was a Bloodline Skill," Queen Medusa murmured.

Chen Mo did not know what a Bloodline Skill was. After putting the Dark Gold Magic Tiger King into his backpack, he carried Queen Medusa away.

He needed to find a secluded place to treat Queen Medusa's injuries.

P.S. I elevated the emotional development a little!
