People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 98 Queen Medusa's Late-Night Invitation

Inside the holy city of the snake people.

After passing the Temple of Medusa and walking through a heavily guarded corridor, a small clear lake appeared in sight.

You can see that in the center of the lake, there is a small island.

If the Holy City is the center of the Snake People, then this island in the middle of the lake is the core of the Holy City.

At this moment, on the island in the middle of the lake, an enchanting snake person in a brocade robe was holding the hand of a purple-haired girl and standing in front of a small pond on the island.

The water in the small pool is extremely crystal clear and emits a cold chill. If there is an alchemist here, he will definitely recognize that the water in this pool is actually the Ice Spirit Cold Spring!

Looking up, one can see a lotus pedestal carved out of exotic crystal erected in the center of the small pond. At this moment, on the lotus pedestal, a ball of green flame is slowly rising.

Crunchy~
Zi Yan chewed the pill and lost interest after taking a look at the green flame. However, she had some thoughts about the crystal clear water in the pool.

"Sister Medusa, is this the Ice Spirit Cold Spring? Can I take a little bit away?" Zi Yan asked vaguely with puffed cheeks.

Queen Medusa, who always appears cold and elegant, is now very gentle, like a completely different person. She smiled and rubbed Zi Yan's smooth purple hair.

"You want to take it back to that Chen Xiao, right? There's no need to go to such lengths. Although he said he wanted the Ice Spirit Cold Spring that day, this Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is what he truly wants. It's also the purpose of your visit to Tagor this time, right?"

Hearing this, Zi Yan's chewing stopped slightly, she smiled and didn't refute, trying to get away with it.

These days, she and Queen Medusa meet every day, and their relationship progresses at an unbelievable speed. When they occasionally talk, Queen Medusa will also ask about Chen Xiao.

Although she was a very loyal dragon, she would always talk about other things and would never betray her friends, but her little thoughts were still too immature in front of Medusa. Just from hints, Queen Medusa had already learned a lot about Chen Xiao.

"Go back tonight and tell Chen Xiao that after I evolve tomorrow night, I can give him the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. If there's any Ice Spirit Cold Spring left, he can take it all. But I need him to come to the Holy City again."

Zi Yan nodded and took note of it, then she realized it belatedly and a look of worry appeared on her cute face.

"Sister Medusa, tomorrow night you will..."

"We can't delay any longer. We've been preparing for so long, and collecting these Ice Spirit Cold Springs is already the limit for the Serpent People. Waiting any longer won't increase the chances of successful evolution. In fact, I've had the idea to start evolving for several months."

Thinking that Queen Medusa might be reduced to ashes during evolution, and that this possibility was very high, Zi Yan fell silent.

"Let's go. Don't think too much. I asked Hua She'er to prepare a lot of medicinal herbs that can only be found in the desert. They all taste very good. I'll take you to taste them."

...

evening.

Chen Xiao was studying the strange black stone ore he got from Hai Bodong, wondering if he could make it into a suitable weapon.

While studying, the light in front of him was suddenly blocked.

Looking up, it was Zi Yan who came back.

However, compared to his usual cheerful appearance, he seemed to be in a slightly bad mood at the moment.

"Is Queen Medusa going to evolve?"

Looking at her expression, Chen Xiao immediately guessed something and an expectant smile appeared on his face.

"How did you know?" Zi Yan was slightly stunned, completely unaware that the answer was already written on her face.

"I guessed it. After all, apart from eating, there aren't many things that can affect your mood."

Under normal circumstances, Zi Yan would definitely refute Chen Xiao when he joked like this, but now she was not in the mood to do so.

"Sister Medusa said that if there's any left over from the evolution of the strange fire and the large pool of ice spirit cold spring, she can give it to you, but you have to go to the Holy City."

Chen Xiao thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Chen Xiao could probably guess the purpose of Queen Medusa inviting him tonight, which was not a bad thing for him.

After leaving the room, Chen Xiao said something to Hai Bodong, who was back to his old job of drawing maps to pass the time, and immediately teamed up with Zi Yan and headed straight for the Holy City of the Snake People.

Probably because Queen Medusa had warned them in advance, the two of them went deeper into the holy city without encountering any obstruction. When they arrived outside the holy city, the leader of the snake guards, Hua She'er, was already waiting there.

"You two, please come with me."

This is Chen Xiao’s third time entering the Medusa Temple.

Unlike the previous two times, Queen Medusa tonight did not lean lazily on the throne, nor did she even sit on it.

When Chen Xiao and the other two came in, Queen Medusa was standing under the throne, with her back to them, looking at the throne that was so close to her. She was like a king who was about to abdicate, bidding a silent farewell to the position she had sat in for many years.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Medusa did not turn back, as if she was talking to herself.

"Someone once told me that there would always be an oasis in the desert, but I know that's because they haven't been to Tagor."

"This desert is like a besieged city. It's hard for outsiders to break in and integrate into it, and it's hard for those inside to leave."

"But difficulty doesn't mean there is no hope."

"The day I became the queen of the snake people, I walked alone through Tagor. Outside the Charming Snake Tribe, I heard the melodious sound of a zither. Outside the Flame Snake Tribe, I saw children smiling and surrounding an elderly person, praying that all sad stories would dissipate with the yellow sand at dawn and dusk. From then on, I understood what I wanted to do, what I should do..."

After the murmurs died down, Queen Medusa walked forward, turned around and sat on the throne, facing the three people.

She let Hua She'er retreat, smiled at Zi Yan, and then Queen Medusa looked at Chen Xiao.

"This king has no interest in asking you what you want the strange fire for, but the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is now owned by my Serpent People. Even if it may bring disaster, it cannot hide the fact that it is very precious."

"You can take it away if you want."

"But I need you to promise me one thing,"

Queen Medusa was too lazy to explain how she guessed Chen Xiao's purpose. She went straight to the point without any beating around the bush.

She thought she had seen through all of Chen Xiao's thoughts, but she didn't know that Chen Xiao's purpose was far more than that.

Medusa was worried that using the strange fire was too dangerous, so even she herself was not sure about it and had to consider the snake people more.

On the other hand, Chen Xiao knew very well that if all conditions remained unchanged, Queen Medusa would most likely evolve successfully according to the original trajectory.

Therefore, this time, Chen Xiao not only wanted to take away the strange fire, but also wanted to take this opportunity to have Dou Zong-level power at his disposal!
