Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

That is, the Peak of the Fighting Emperor.

At this moment, her snake spirit has begun to somewhat limit her growth.

To continue growing, one's serpent spirit needs to continue evolving.

Alternatively, one could obtain a Breakthrough Pill.

Forget about the Breakthrough Pill.

The Gama Empire, and even the surrounding empires, had no alchemists capable of refining the Breakthrough Elixir.

Moreover, even if they did, the snake people couldn't afford the price.

The Tagor Desert is too barren; the snake people who have always lived there don't have anything of value.

Queen Medusa's constant desire to break through to the Dou Zong realm was so that she could get the Snake People to move away from the Tagor Desert.

This place, with its concentrated fire elemental energy, is very unsuitable for the snake people to live in.

Therefore, Medusa wanted to break through using the first method.

Her serpent spirit, the Purple Flame Serpent, possesses a trace of the bloodline of an ancient, exotic beast.

According to the snake-people's secret methods she had seen, they could evolve through strange fire.

Therefore, she has been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the strange fire all these years.

This time, having finally found a clue, Queen Medusa was unwilling to give up.

This is the snake people's hope for moving out of the Tagor Desert!

As time went on, Queen Medusa got closer and closer to the location of the underground passage.

However, she has now slowed down.

Because the location she sensed before was very vague, she had no idea where the strange fire was, only a general direction.

Looking at the endless desert all around, Queen Medusa began her search.

She has an excellent understanding of the Tagor Desert.

She had the entire desert map memorized.

After all, the snake people have lived here for a very long time.

She knew that there were practically no places nearby where strange fire could be generated.

The most likely strange fire to be born in the desert is the Wind Fury Dragon Flame.

This strange fire usually originates in places with storms.

However, there are usually no storms in this area.

Therefore, Queen Medusa also suspected that the strange fire that appeared this time was very likely underground.

She also knew that there was a lava field beneath the Tagor Desert.

She quickly found the traces left by the Desert Iron Mercenary Corps when they dug the underground tunnels.

The mark is very obvious.

After all, those hundreds of mercenaries had basically dug up the entire area within a one-kilometer radius.

In the desert, even a slight breeze can stir up a lot of sand.

So most of the area is still quite flat.

The marks left by these mercenaries were like scribbles on a blank sheet of paper.

They couldn't possibly cover up the traces or fill the pits they dug after they finished digging.

It's mainly because it's unnecessary.

In just one or two days, the wind will carry sand and fill the hole back in.

Moreover, Xiao Yang has already taken away the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame, so even if an underground passage is left open, it will be useless if others discover it.

Queen Medusa flew over these pits.

Soon, she saw the underground passage that Xiao Yang had entered.

The highly skilled and daring Queen Medusa went directly inside.

As she went deeper underground, the temperature began to rise slowly.

This further confirmed her suspicions.

Sure enough, this is the birthplace of a strange fire!

At this moment, Queen Medusa still harbored a sliver of hope.

She could only pray that she could find peace here.

After all, subduing a strange fire is extremely dangerous.

Even she could get hurt if she's not careful.

Soon, Queen Medusa entered the underground world.

Looking at the lava lake in front of her, she couldn't help but frown.

The snake-people are predominantly cold and yin, so even though she was a fire-attribute cultivator, she would find it very uncomfortable in such a place.

She began to use secret techniques to try and detect the traces of the strange fire.

However, in the end, they gained nothing.

Just then, she suddenly sensed the presence of a snake-like magical beast.

The Serpent People infuse newborn members with the souls of serpent-like magical beasts.

Therefore, they are very sensitive to snake-like magical beasts.

Medusa was overjoyed to sense the presence of serpentine magical beasts within the lava.

Without the slightest hesitation, she condensed a battle aura armor on her body and jumped directly into the lava lake.

Medusa quickly found the serpentine monster in the lava; it turned out to be a two-headed fire serpent!

After forcibly subduing the two-headed fire serpent (physical), she immediately began asking it for clues about its strange fire.

This two-headed fire spirit snake is the one that Qinglin enslaved in the original work.

As the queen of the snake people, communicating with snake-like magical beasts is quite easy for her.

Soon, the two-headed fire spirit serpent, unable to withstand Queen Medusa's power, obediently carried her to the space where the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame originally resided.

Because they lost the Green Lotus and the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Therefore, this cyan space is slowly shrinking at this moment.

Upon seeing the green lotus root, Medusa, who had already thoroughly researched the information on different types of fire, immediately knew that this must be the place where the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire was born.

As the nineteenth ranked flame on the list of unusual flames, it is relatively less dangerous.

It's safe to say that it's perfect for her to use for evolution!

However, Medusa's expression turned grim as she looked at the remaining stem within the blue space.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame has been taken away!

Her breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm shattered the Serpent People's hopes of moving away from the Tagor Desert!

Although it was expected, Medusa was still somewhat disappointed.

After sighing, she returned to the lava.

She knew that two different flames could not be born in one place at the same time.

There shouldn't be any other strange fires in this lava.

Chapter 129 Queen Medusa Descends!

However, just as Queen Medusa returned to the ground, she suddenly sensed a very faint breath.

Although this time the aura was very faint, so faint that Queen Medusa almost couldn't sense it.

However, because this aura was relatively close this time, it was still detected by Queen Medusa.

Fortunately, she was on the ground now. If she were still under that terrifying lava, surrounded by dense fire energy, she might not have been able to sense it.

Without hesitation, she flew directly towards the location of that aura.

She estimated the location of that aura, and it turned out to be in the Stone Desert City, dozens of miles away!

She guessed that some powerful figure must have taken the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and then returned to Stone Desert City to begin refining it.

Soon, she discovered that the aura had disappeared again.

Queen Medusa was starting to get anxious.

She must find the extraordinary fire!

If the other party successfully refines me, that would be bad news.

Without hesitation, she spread her wings and flew quickly toward Stone Desert City.

After flying above Stone Desert City, she did not go down directly.

Because she could no longer sense the location of the strange fire.

Queen Medusa used a secret technique of the Serpent People to briefly transform her serpent tail into legs.

The key now is to find the strange fire.

She guessed that this strange fire was most likely found by an alchemist.

After all, alchemists are the ones who crave the most exotic flames.

Generally speaking, alchemists are relatively weak in combat, and they are likely to have powerful bodyguards by their side.

The first person she thought of was Koga of the Gama Empire.

Therefore, Yun Yun of the Yunlan Sect is very likely here.

Although Queen Medusa was not afraid of Yunyun.

However, it would be bad if Guhe escaped with the strange fire by accident.

She planned to go into the city to investigate first.

She took out a huge black cloak and covered her curvaceous body.

A thin veil was also placed over her face.

After putting on simple disguises, she went directly into the city.

She knew some information about Stone Desert City.

The Serpent People actively gather information about the cities in the Tagor Desert.

She remembered that the more powerful forces in Stone Desert City were the Sand Mercenary Group and the Storm Mercenary Group, among others.

The Sand Mercenary Group is probably the strongest among them.

If Furukawa were to seek help, he would likely turn to the most powerful Sand Mercenary Group.

Therefore, Queen Medusa did not hesitate and went directly to the Storm Mercenaries.

……

Wind Shark is the leader of the Storm Mercenary Group.

He was feeling somewhat uneasy after hearing the information reported by his subordinates.

He had noticed that the Desert Iron Mercenary Corps had gone out to search for something outside Stone Desert City.

He assumed it was a mercenary mission posted by someone, so he ignored it.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Sand Mercenary Group also followed.

Moreover, a conflict broke out between the two sides.

After learning that the Desert Iron Mercenary Group had recently gained an alchemist, he couldn't wait for the Sand Mercenary Group and the Desert Iron Mercenary Group to start fighting.

In this way, both sides might suffer losses, and he might ultimately benefit himself.
