"Okay, very good."
Queen Medusa's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth; every word seemed to carry shards of ice.
"It seems Yue Mei has fallen for your trap."
They infiltrated in disguise, evading the barrier's detection... and even concealed such a powerful soul entity.
You have truly given me a great 'surprise'.
Queen Medusa's gaze finally fell on the sealed Green Lotus Core Flame on the stone platform, and then on Xiao Huohuo, or rather, on Yao Lao inside Xiao Huohuo's body.
Queen Medusa's voice suddenly rose, carrying supreme majesty and chilling killing intent:
"Human, you coveted my treasure, trespassed into forbidden territory, and injured my guardian beast... No matter who you are, you will die today!"
Before the words were even finished, a terrifying pressure ten or even a hundred times stronger than before, like a tangible prison of heaven and earth, suddenly descended!
Despite her outward disdain for the powerful Spiritual Soul Power within Xiao Huohuo, Medusa remained extremely vigilant.
There is no such person in the Jia Ma Empire.
The full pressure of Peak Dou Emperor expert enveloped everything!
"Puff!"
Xiao Huohuo, and everything went black before his eyes. However, before he could suffer any more damage, Yao Lao's Spiritual Soul Power roared out and protected them.
" Queen Medusa, why be angry?"
An illusory soul floated out of Xiao Huohuo's body.
The Yao Lao landed in front of Medusa and looked at her.
As for Medusa's wires, they were all blocked by Yao Lao.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo stood behind Yao Lao, their eyes secretly filled with relief.
The sheer power emanating from Medusa rendered the two utterly incapable of resisting.
This power is far too great.
The Yao Lao's voice was aged yet steady, attempting to ease the atmosphere, as he began to speak:
"We have come here only to seek the Heavenly Flames, and have no intention of being enemies with your Snake-People Tribe. Our previous intrusion was out of necessity."
Moreover, the bloodline of the Snake-People Tribe is incompatible with the extremely yang and violent nature of Heavenly Flames. How about we make a deal?
"Trade?"
Queen Medusa sneered, her beautiful face covered in frost.
"You've trespassed into my forbidden territory, touched my sore spot, and still want to make a deal?"
"Besides, you are nothing but a remnant soul, clinging to life. How dare you discuss a deal with me?"
She was clearly enraged and determined to kill.
The Green Lotus Core Flame is crucial to her success or failure in evolving, and to the future of the Snake-People Tribe; it cannot be lost.
Xiao Yan and the others' actions have completely crossed her bottom line.
Don't make promises you can't keep.
The Yao Lao sighed, looked at Medusa, and said:
" The Heavenly Flames is not necessary for you. Although I am just a remnant soul, I still had some strength in my previous life."
If we force a move, we'll only end up losing both of us. How about we talk about a deal?
"Trade?"
A hint of mockery flashed in Medusa's amethyst-like eyes as she spoke:
"Since you know this is Heavenly Flames, you should also know its value. So, what price are you willing to offer?"
"How about one Seventh-Grade Pill Transformation Pill, one Sixth-Grade Pill Sect Breaking Pill, and two Sixth-Grade Pill Dou Ling Pill?"
As soon as Yao Lao finished speaking, both Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo gasped in shock.
Even Medusa's gaze towards the Yao Lao changed abruptly, her pupils shrinking sharply.
Exclamations of surprise rang out from all around.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo turned their heads to look and then noticed.
With the barrier shattered, the powerful members of the Snake-People Tribe had now surrounded the island in layers.
Yue Mei, who had captured them and brought them here, was also watching them from a short distance away.
The price quoted by the Yao Lao stunned everyone.
The Sect Breaking Pill can increase the probability of Peak Dou Emperor expert breaking through to Dou Zong. Even if they fail, they will retain their Peak Dou Emperor cultivation level for the next breakthrough.
However, a Dou Emperor can only use it once in their lifetime.
Although it is Sixth-Grade Pill, its refining difficulty is comparable to that of Seventh-Grade Pill.
Transformation Pill are the most crucial item for Magical Beast.
After consuming the Transformation Pill, his progress in cultivating human martial arts became terrifyingly rapid.
The Dou Ling Pill allows even Dou Wang level expert to break through to the next level without any side effects.
It's enough to drive many Dou Wang expert, crazy.
The price quoted by the Yao Lao had far exceeded Medusa's expectations.
For a moment, even Medusa was stunned.
Medusa initially dismissed the idea as a joke until the Yao Lao offered a price.
However, after hearing the Yao Lao's price, she couldn't help but hesitate.
Transformation Pill, Sect Breaking Pill, Dou Ling Pill.
With the first two types of pills, Medusa's chances of breaking through to the Dou Zong level will greatly increase.
Both Dou Ling Pill can also enhance the strength of the Snake-People Tribe.
For a moment, she fell silent.
"Well, the price I offered should meet your expectations."
The Yao Lao's gaze fell on Medusa, and he noticed Medusa hesitation.
"..."
Medusa raised her eyes, her gaze falling on the Yao Lao, and took a deep breath, her intense hatred lessening considerably.
His tone was no longer so cold; it remained calm.
"Senior, I must admit, the price you offered is very generous, but..."
Medusa shook her head, her eyes regaining their resolve:
"No trade!"
As Medusa finished speaking, Xiao Yan could sense that Xiao Huohuo, who had been excited, suddenly froze on the spot.
No, not only him, but apart from the Yao Lao, no one expected that Medusa would refuse such a generous offer.
"I've heard that the Snake-People Tribe have a secret technique that can transform their bloodline, bringing them close to ancestral reversion. The entire process is fraught with peril, but once mastered, their strength and aptitude will leap to the very top."
As soon as Yao Lao spoke, the expressions of the surrounding Snake-People Tribe changed drastically, and they all looked at Medusa.
"And throughout this entire process, the Heavenly Flames is indispensable. It seems Her Majesty intends to devour the Heavenly Flames in order to evolve and transform?"
Medusa's expression remained unchanged even after the Yao Lao revealed her true purpose.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Your insight is truly remarkable, so please return."
Although she still rejected Yao Lao, the coldness in Medusa's tone had faded considerably.
After all, the fact that the other party could offer such generous terms was enough to show that the other party was an alchemist of a lower rank.
Even Queen Medusa, as the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, did not want to antagonize such a person.
An alchemist's network of connections is his most terrifying trump card.
Even if the mysterious old man in front of them was just a fragmented soul.
Medusa's refusal surprised not only Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo, but also the powerful members of the Snake-People Tribe, who remained silent.
However, they did not speak.
They only need to obey Her Majesty's orders.
Faced with Medusa's rejection, Yao Lao sighed, thinking that he still had to go all the way to the end.
Facing the Snake-People Tribe Queen, Peak Dou Emperor expert, Yao Lao's current state only allows him to guarantee an undefeated record and protect Xiao Huohuo Huo.
The deal failed, and the attempt to forcibly break the seal and seize the Heavenly Flames in the heart of the Snake-People Tribe's territory was not impossible for Yao Lao.
However, after he finishes, he will definitely fall into a deep sleep, and at that time, it will be impossible for Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo to break through the encirclement and attack of the Snake-People Tribe.
