Gu He opened and closed his hands in the face of the attacks of the ten plus Snake-People. A pale-blue flame instantly wrapped around Gu He's body. The wings on his back flapped slightly as his hands formed a seal with lightning like speed. He softly cried out,"Blue flames!"
A pale-blue flame suddenly appeared in front of Gu He after his cry sounded. With a wave of his hand, it shot explosively towards the dozen plus Snake-People from all directions. The successive attacks from the dozen plus Snake-People earlier were turned into nothingness by this pale-blue flame.
His wings flapped slightly and his body passed through the defenses of the ten plus Snake-People in a lightning-like manner. As he extended his hands, a force shot out. Immediately, the ten plus Snake-People spat out blood and withdrew.
Gu He was just about to charge into the city after pushing back the person blocking his way with his fastest speed when a ferocious force that caused his expression to change suddenly shot over from below. He immediately flapped his wings and his body quickly withdrew. Only then did he narrowly avoid a snake spear that was flying over.
"Medusa Snake Guard Captain, Hua She Er!”A graceful figure flashed across the sky as the woman coldly cried out.
"Dou Wang…Hu, there are indeed quite a number of experts in the Snake-People Tribe.”Looking at the lady who had appeared in front of him, Gu He sensed the strength of the other party and sighed helplessly in his heart.
The lady opposite him did not seem to have any intention of chatting with Gu He. She grabbed the sharp snake spear with one hand and swung her snake tail in the air. Carrying an incomparably ferocious force, she charged towards Gu He.
However, just as Gu He was preparing to move to fight, Yun Yun suddenly appeared in a flash. She spoke in a faint voice,"Leave her to me. You go and find the 'Heavenly Flame'. We don't have much time left. Once Queen Medusa successfully evolves, I think that we can only run as far away as possible. Yanran, you should go and take a look too. The current Medusa doesn't have any lethality.”
"Yes." Nalan Yanran, who was worrying about not having the chance, naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to gain favorable impression points in front of her 'fiancé.' She agreed and went with Gu He.
Earlier, Nalan Yanran had discovered that while the city wall was in chaos, Xiao Yan had quietly slipped in from outside.
However, she did not head north like Gu He. Instead, she headed east. Nalan Yanran naturally followed Xiao Yan to the east.
After carefully chasing for more than ten minutes, a huge temple slowly appeared in their sight. Through the essence, Nalan Yanran discovered that Xiao Yan had already entered. Moreover, he had not been discovered. She relied on the essence to find an empty gap between the guards and also sneaked in.
After searching for nearly ten minutes, his vision suddenly became clear. A small, clear lake appeared in his eyes.
In the middle of the lake, there was a small island. The water around it was sparkling, and there was no bridge leading to it.
Standing at the edge of the lake, Nalan Yanran glanced at the crystal clear lake water. She saw Xiao Yan's body break through the water like a fish and rush into the crystal clear lake. He then glanced at the thick white flame on the surface of his body. Under the strange temperature of the 'Bone Chilling Flame', the surrounding lake water had already begun to roll like boiling water. As it repeatedly emitted white bubbles, threads of deep purple liquid that were difficult to detect with the naked eye slowly surfaced. However, when this deep purple liquid was about to come into contact with the thick white flame, it was frozen by the Bone Chilling Flame into numerous tiny ice threads. After which, they slowly fell into the bottom of the lake.
Eyeing the small purple colored ice threads that repeatedly appeared around Xiao Yan's body, Nalan Yanran's scalp became somewhat numb. It was unexpected that this extremely calm lake actually hid so much lethal poison.
"Forget it, this water is obviously poisonous. Let's not go. We can't fly over it. If we swim, we won't be afraid of the poison, but once we get into the water, won't we get wet? How can we get wet?”Thinking about it, Nalan Yanran still decided not to go.
……
Nalan Yanran had waited for less than fifteen minutes when a light suddenly lit up on the small island. The light continued to expand and contract. A moment later, a roar that was somewhat like a lion's roar and also a tiger's roar was emitted from the light. Not long after this roar was emitted, the eye-piercing light suddenly soared.
A moment later, the light dissipated and a giant purple snake that was more than 100 feet long floated in the air above the island.
The giant purple snake's body was slender and powerful, and it faintly had a kind of elegant beauty. Its light purple pupils faintly revealed some tranquility and indifference.
The enormous purple snake slowly twisted its body in midair. Its enormous head turned slightly towards the chaotic city wall. A cold glint flashed across its pale-purple pupils.
Its huge body hovered in the air, and a dense purple light surged out of the purple snake's body. In the end, it almost enveloped the entire temple.
Nalan Yanran knew that Medusa was setting up a barrier in order to prevent Gu He from causing trouble. Very quickly, the barrier was completed. One could see the enormous purple snake in the sky circling a couple of times before suddenly emitting a clear low groan. After which, it charged downwards without hesitation. That place should be the location where the 'Green Lotus Core Flame' was placed.
Queen Medusa's sharp scream immediately caused one's scalp to turn numb the moment the purple snake drilled down.
As the commotion caused by Queen Medusa was really too great, a sharp scream resounded over half of the city. Immediately, a countless number of strong Snake-People rushed onto the roofs. Some people wanted to rush over as they stared at the spot where the purple light was exploding with shock. However, it was blocked by the ferocious purple light. At that moment, it could only stand outside. From afar, it looked anxiously at the huge purple snake that was fiercely writhing in the green flames.
In the sky, a light figure swiftly rushed over to the purple light. A moment later, it stopped outside the purple light. Gu He was revealed with a solemn expression.
"Has Queen Medusa begun to evolve?”Gu He stared intently at the green-colored flame in the distant Divine Hall as he softly spoke. His hands were involuntarily clenched together as he bitterly laughed,"Now, can we only wait for the final result?”
However, Queen Medusa's shrill screams gradually weakened after being high pitched for nearly half an hour.
More and more Snake-People stood on the surrounding rooftops outside the purple light curtain. They stared blankly at the churning purple light. At a certain moment, a desolate cry resounded throughout the entire city. Immediately, a desolate atmosphere enveloped the most sacred city of the Snake-People Tribe.
"Failed…?" Yun Yun suddenly flashed and appeared beside Gu He outside of the purple-colored light curtain. She looked at Queen Medusa, who had lost her movements within the 'Heavenly Flame', and sighed softly for some reason. She was quiet for a moment before she immediately bowed slightly in the direction of the latter. Although her character was similarly arrogant and indifferent, she felt that this king who had the courage to burn his body with a' Heavenly Flame 'in order to evolve should be respected.
"Ugh…" Gu He by the side sighed softly as he looked at the green-colored flame. Had this Queen Medusa, who had once caused a great headache to the experts of the Jia Ma Empire, fallen just like this? It was really quite dramatic.
The entire city gradually descended into a death-like silence following the disappearance of Queen Medusa's scream. A moment later, numerous pairs of hateful gazes turned to Gu He and Yun Yun in the air.
Yun Yun ignored the numerous hateful gazes. She stared indifferently at the cluster of green-colored flame in the distance. A moment later, her eyebrows under the black robe knit slightly. She raised her head and looked at the sky, which had suddenly become much darker. She was a little quiet as her clear and cold voice contained an additional solemness,"Something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Gu He's expression tightened when he heard this. He hurriedly asked.
"The earth and heaven energy suddenly became violent.”Yun Yun looked at the sky and softly said.
Gu He hurriedly raised his head upon seeing this. He looked at the sky and his expression changed slightly. He could see that the originally clear sky had suddenly become much darker. Clusters of dark clouds that had come from unknown sources slowly covered the sky.
The sudden change caused everyone to stare at the abnormal situation in the sky in shock. His face was filled with confusion.
"Boom!" Thunderous rumbles suddenly rang out from within the dark clouds. Silver lightning danced around randomly like silver snakes.
"What's going on?" Gu He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked dryly after sensing the wild and violent energy contained within the dark clouds.
Yun Yun stared intently at the dark clouds in the sky. "I once read an ancient book that recorded it. When some legendary level magical beasts were born or advanced in the ancient times, they would cause some strange phenomena due to the huge disharmony of the energy in their bodies. However, these legendary level magical beasts were extremely powerful existences. It could even be compared to a human expert Dou Zong or Dou Sheng. It seemed that there were not many legendary Magical Beasts that existed on the current Dou Qi continent…From the looks of the current situation, the most likely thing was that it was caused by Queen Medusa.”
"You mean…she has evolved to the Legendary stage?”Gu He's eyes shrunk slightly as he spoke in a somewhat shocked manner.
"I'm not sure." Yun Yun shook her head and softly said.
"Should we retreat?" Gu He frowned. He asked hesitantly.
"Let's wait first. Even if she has evolved to the Legendary stage, she has lost quite a bit of energy after being burned in the 'Heavenly Flame' for such a long time. At this moment, we should find a place to quietly recuperate. That is the wisest plan." Yun Yun shook her head slightly and mused.
"This…is fine. Let's wait and see." Gu He hesitated for a moment when he heard this. He nodded. He was just about to raise his head when an enormous explosion sounded from the dark cloud layer above his head. In an instant, the world lit up. A huge silver thunderbolt. It shot down from the clouds and finally penetrated the purple light screen. It smashed into the ball of green flames.
The lightning came quickly and left even faster. Before the thunderclaps in everyone's ears completely disappeared, the dark clouds in the sky began to swiftly disappear. An instant later, hot sunlight once again covered the city.
The booming sound in their ears gradually withdrew. A countless number of people hurriedly threw their gazes toward the purple-colored light curtain. However, after the lightning strike earlier, a faint green-colored fog seeped out from the small island and covered everyone's sight.
"The green-colored fog is something that was emitted from the collision between the lightning and the 'Heavenly Flame'. Spiritual Strength cannot corrode it and the situation inside has already been completely isolated.”Gu He's Spiritual Perception swept across the light curtain before he shook his head and frowned.
"Wait for it to dissipate." Yun Yun calmly said.
Gu He nodded. However, the Dou Qi within his body gradually surged, preparing to retreat at any moment.
