My group members have a promising future

Chapter 227 Captive
-------
Like a dream.

She dreamed of her entire life and re-watched her experiences from childhood to adulthood from the perspective of an observer.

Born, merged with the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake, practiced, fought, became the queen of the snake people, and then -

dead!
The fist wrapped in red metal seemed to cover the entire desert, like the sky falling, like a punishment sent down by heaven, leaving people with no desire to resist. It was an unrivaled force.

Life ends here.

……

Crackle
The flames licked and the dead branches made a burning sound.

When Queen Medusa woke up, the sky was already full of stars. There was a fire not far away, and she was wearing a coat lying on the soft gravel.

The lavender snake pupils met a pair of emerald green eyes, and the other party jumped away immediately in fear, shouting:
"Master, Master, she's awake."

Qinglin trotted away, very afraid of this woman.

"Hey, are you awake?"

A pair of black eyes looked at her, which made her panic suddenly, because the owner of the black eyes was the freak monster of the human race during the day!

Xiao Yan handed over a large skewer of barbecued meat, "Would you like to eat some?"

"...No need!" Despite feeling exhausted and hungry, Queen Medusa still refused coldly.

"This is the meat of a fourth-level Magical Beast Caixu Chicken. It's very delicious and nutritious. I spent so much time in the Magical Beast Mountains and only caught a few of them. This comb is especially delicious. It's smooth and soft. There's only a little bit of it on a chicken..."

This familiar tone made Queen Medusa a little overwhelmed. She forced herself to remain calm, ignored Xiao Yan's endless chatter, and sensed the fighting spirit in her body.

The fighting spirit in her dantian was almost exhausted, but fortunately the foundation of the fighting spirit was still there, only her original body, the soul of the Purple Nether Flame Snake, was extremely weak.

She wanted to summon up the remaining fighting spirit and escape from here immediately, but when she controlled the fighting spirit a little, she found that there were traces of red-gold fire patterns emerging in her dantian.

How powerful is the collision between two different flames?

Fire is an extremely violent thing. The collision of two different flames, especially within her body, is enough to blow her up!

The red-gold fire pattern shone from her dantian and appeared on her lower abdomen, turning into a seal that imprisoned her fighting spirit.

Xiao Yan looked at her with a half-smile: "This is my first time using the Sealing Technique, I might not be doing it well, how do you feel?"

"Very! Good!" Queen Medusa almost bit her teeth off.

"Don't be in a hurry. I've put some Yellow Spring Water in your head. Do you know what Yellow Spring Water is? It's also called the Water of the Forgotten River or the Water of Forgotten Love. It's said that after a person dies, they have to drink a sip before their soul is reincarnated. Then all their memories will be washed away, and they will be reincarnated as a clean, blank soul. In short, if you don't listen to me anymore, I'll turn you into a newborn baby. Of course, you can also understand it as an idiot."

Love potion?
Medusa immediately sensed something in her mind, and sure enough, a cloud of dim mist was like a gauze dress, covering her soul.

She looked at Xiao Yan and laughed out of anger, "Your Excellency is really good at this!"

Xiao Yan was not afraid of this bit of sarcasm. The strength of the queen's scolding was too low, wasn't it? Compared with the forum brother when he was online before, her attack power was not even one tenth of it.

"It's good that you understand. From now on you will be my maid. Master, I will pay you."

Looking at the sloppy boy in front of her, Medusa wanted to swallow him in one bite!

But both her fighting spirit and soul were under the opponent's control. Even if she had thousands of murderous thoughts, she could only suppress them.

She held a handful of gravel tightly in her hand, her chest rising and falling violently, and finally, she let go of her hand helplessly. Xiao Yan was still very comfortable with her current behavior, "Look, as a human being... as a snake person, you still have to be reasonable. We could have talked it out, but who told you to act without knowing right or wrong, and not stop? This is the consequence."

He waved his hand and called Qing Lin over. He stood behind her, put his hands on her tender and thin shoulders and said, "Her name is Qing Lin. She is my appointed head maid. From now on, you will listen to her orders and be good."

"Ah? Me?" Qing Lin was a little flustered. She already knew the identity of the person in front of her. Xiao Yan had told her when he brought them back just now.

Dou Huang Mighty!
Queen Medusa!
The ruler of the snake people in the Tagor Desert!
The war between snake people and humans lasted for who knows how many years, and Queen Medusa was a notorious existence among them, who could stop children from crying at night.

Yet, such a strong man was defeated by Young Master Xiao Yan and became a prisoner.

As expected, Young Master Xiao Yan is the best.

Queen Medusa saw Qing Lin's panic and admiration for Xiao Yan.

"Master Xiao Yan, the passage has been dug out!"

At this time, the mercenary brother over there shouted.

"Okay, I'll be right over."

Xiao Yan looked at Medusa, "You are here to look for the strange fire as well. Do you want to go and take a look? Otherwise, stay here and help us look after the equipment."

"…Let's go!" She almost squeezed out this answer from between her teeth.

"I'm glad you figured it out. After all, someone once said that the most important thing for a county magistrate is patience. The same goes for being a queen."

Listening to Xiao Yan's endless nonsense, Queen Medusa really wanted to blow his head off, but unfortunately she couldn't do it.

Over there, the mercenaries did find some rocks buried under the gravel, forming an underground passage, which could be entered after being cleaned up.

As soon as Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa arrived here, they felt a slight heat.

The nights in the desert are still very cold, with a large temperature difference between day and night, but there is actually hot air coming out from below, which means that the probability of the existence of strange fire is higher.

Now all lives are in Xiao Yan's hands. The situation is stronger than the person. Queen Medusa can only hide her minions and endure for the time being. At the same time, she is also very interested in the strange fire.

The underground passage made people feel a little uneasy. After all, there were millions of yellow sands above their heads. If it collapsed, they would all be buried.

Several old mercenaries walked in front, and one of them took out a cage with a mouse in it as the vanguard.

They explored the terrain. The old mercenary who was walking in the second place was carrying a bag full of gravel. In the bag were moonstones that could emit fluorescence, but they were basically incomplete and broken.

This shows that the old mercenary is more frugal and only focuses on one thing that can be used.

He placed a piece of moonstone at regular intervals, and the faint fluorescence it emitted was enough to illuminate the road, and would also serve as a signpost for their return.

As we go deeper underground, the air becomes hotter and drier.

Whenever there was a fork in the road, Xiao Yan would point the way: "Go this way, the fire attribute is stronger here."

Soon, the heat ahead made the mice uneasy, and they passed through the passage and came to a vast underground magma lake.

Xiao Yan: Eh?

What about the strange fire?
He looked with his divine eyes, but found no trace of the strange fire.
