In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 140 Medusa's Resolute Action

Deep in the Tagor Desert.

Although it is extremely hot and barren, there are still oases with rippling water.

Deep in the desert to the northwest, there are many huge rocks, and behind these rocks stands a magnificent city.

And this city,

That is the temple city where Queen Medusa of the Snake People lived.

On the city walls, fully armed snake-men guards patrolled.

All the elite snake-people warriors were dutiful and their sharp, fierce gazes constantly swept around the city.

Only when their gaze inadvertently falls upon the towering temple in the very center of the city do they transform into a look of deep worship and devotion.

Inside the temple.

A beautiful woman dressed in a magnificent purple brocade robe was giving instructions to several elderly snake-woman women around her.

The woman's voluptuous figure, encased in a brocade robe, accentuated her graceful curves.

Like a ripe peach, it exudes a subtle charm.

Her long, black hair cascaded down from between her slender waist.

Beneath that brocade robe was a striking purple snake tail.

This beautiful and alluring woman was none other than Queen Medusa, the infamous Snake-People queen of the Jiama Empire.

After Queen Medusa finished giving her instructions, the four elderly snake-women women in the hall all looked sorrowful and worried.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider carefully!"

"Yes, the clan's secret techniques are far too dangerous. You should think twice before proceeding!"

"Indeed, my snake-people race can live and thrive here in peace, and for the time being, we do not need..."

Queen Medusa frowned slightly and gave a cold shout.

"Enough! My snake-people are naturally fond of cold, but it is precisely in this hot desert that the number of new warriors at the Battle Spirit level or above in our clan has decreased sharply in recent years."

"We are already in dire straits. If the darkness continues, what will become of the lives of my snake-people?"

"This time, I have decided to go all in, my mind is made up, and I will surely succeed in the evolution. You may simply carry out my orders!"

After saying this, Queen Medusa paused for a moment to think.

"If I am truly unfortunate..."

At this point, Queen Medusa hesitated slightly, but her expression showed no hesitation or fear.

The rumor's red lips spoke slowly.

"You shall then use the secret method, as I have previously instructed, to select a new Medusa Queen for my Serpent People."

Having said that, Queen Medusa twisted her purple serpent tail and slowly walked towards the throne at the head of the temple.

"Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that Queen Medusa's mind was made up, several elders of the snake-people cried out in sorrow.

It is precisely because they do not have Medusa's bloodline that they cannot use arcane evolution.

Otherwise, I would gladly take his place!

"Your Majesty! Please take good care of yourself!"

You will definitely succeed!

"Her Majesty the Queen will surely revive our Serpent People and lead us out of the Tagor Desert once more!"

Queen Medusa slowly closed her eyes, gently supporting her head with one hand, and waved her hand lightly.

"All of you, step back! Let me have some peace and quiet."

The snake-people elders exchanged glances, understanding Queen Medusa's feelings at that moment.

They all bowed respectfully before slowly leaving.

As the time goes,

Queen Medusa sat calmly in the palace, motionless.

After a long while, he slowly got up and left the temple.

Finally, we arrived at a lake.

In the center of the lake is a small island, with no bridges or roads leading to it.

Suddenly, a pair of wings made of battle qi appeared on Queen Medusa's back. She flapped her wings and flew over the lake, arriving directly on the island.

The island is lush and green, with bamboo groves and flowers growing there, full of vitality.

In a secluded, circular open area, the surrounding bamboo and grass had been cleared away.

Small, smooth pebbles are scattered around, forming a small pool in the center.

The pool was filled with crystal-clear water, with white mist swirling around its surface; it was a pool full of icy, cold spring water.

Even in the scorching Tagor Desert, from a great distance, one can still feel the extreme cold.

Medusa arrived at this place,

Looking at the very center of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, a ball of blue flame slowly burns within a strange crystal-carved lotus seat.

Queen Medusa gazed at the blue flames within the lotus throne, a rare hint of hesitation flashing across her alluring face.

But only for a moment,

Hesitation turned into determination.

Queen Medusa slowly extended her fair, jade-like hand, forming several hand seals in front of her.

The peculiar crystal clusters slowly unfolded, and the blue flames seemed to burn even more fiercely.

Queen Medusa took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Her jade-like hands untied her belt, and her robes slowly slid down.

The graceful and voluptuous body of the water chestnut, with its human torso and snake tail, is presented under the moonlight.

Just as Queen Medusa was preparing to completely remove her robes,

Suddenly, I heard a 'glug' sound of swallowing saliva.

"Who goes there? Come out!"

Instantly, Queen Medusa's eyebrows shot up.

She immediately put her clothes back on, tightened her belt, and her beautiful face was filled with coldness and murderous intent.

In an instant, she transformed from a captivatingly beautiful woman with a touch of melancholy and sadness into a Medusa Queen brimming with murderous intent.

In the grass not far from the bamboo grove, Xiao Ran felt secretly annoyed.

Even though I'm no longer a novice, I still couldn't keep my composure.

They were even tempted to make a swallowing sound.

Well, now Queen Medusa has discovered it.

Seeing that Queen Medusa was staring intently in his direction, Xiao Ran knew that he couldn't hide from such a powerful figure.

So he slowly stood up from the grass and waved to Medusa.

"Hi, Your Majesty!"

Queen Medusa's pupils contracted, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

Her red lips parted slightly, but her voice was incredibly cold and sharp.

"Human, who are you?"

The moment Xiao Ran appeared, Queen Medusa felt a chill emanating from him.

This isn't a matter of different levels of cultivation, but rather how powerful individuals respond when faced with danger involving the sage's wisdom.

A kind of innate alertness, which can also be seen as a sixth sense.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was so young and alone, he felt a sense of fear.

Moreover, they could even bypass the heavily guarded divine city and sneak in silently.

Queen Medusa became even more cautious, her eyes narrowing slightly. She had to strike first!

Xiao Ran gave an awkward smile and said,

"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry to have disturbed Your Majesty."

"Okay, you don't need to pay attention to this. Just keep doing your thing and treat me like I'm invisible."

"Human! Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
