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

Chapter 144 The Seal of Unity, a Shameful %

Xiao Ran didn't pay much attention to Medusa's words; his mission location was right there.

Seeing that Medusa was preparing to devour the strange fire to evolve, he did not want her body to be burned by the strange fire.

Although I'm no longer bothered by Furukawa and the others, there's no guarantee that nothing else might happen.

The method of evolving the snake-people's strange fire is inherently a tightrope walk, fraught with danger.

"When does the Queen plan to begin?"

After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Medusa raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the temple ahead.

She then turned to look at Xiao Ran, who looked somewhat disheveled, and for some reason, the coldness in her heart eased a little.

"Before I came here, I had already given instructions regarding the affairs of the tribe, so let's begin now."

"If you harbor ill intentions towards me, then my own demise is my own choice."

"But what I want to tell you is this: don't even think about controlling me to do things I don't want to do."

"Otherwise, even if it means mutual destruction, I will never let you succeed!"

Xiao Ran shrugged helplessly and didn't explain anything.

He simply flapped his wings and arrived right next to Queen Medusa.

"Your Majesty, shall we begin?"

Queen Medusa slowly turned her gaze and gave Xiao Ran a cold, sidelong glance.

"You're standing so close to me, aren't you afraid I might suddenly kill you with a single blow?!"

Xiao Ran looked at Queen Medusa's beautiful face, but the murderous intent in his words was undisguised.

Smile.

"Your Majesty, as a dignified seventh-grade alchemist, how could I not have some means of self-protection?"

"If Her Majesty the Queen can truly kill me with one blow, then it's my own fault."

"But if... hehe, then Your Majesty will have to see where on the Dou Qi Continent is a suitable place for the Snake-People to hide..."

"Enough! Let's begin!"

Before Xiao Ran could finish speaking, Queen Medusa gave a cold shout.

Then, with a twist of its body, its beautiful snake tail lightly touched the ground, and it arrived at the side of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Xiao Ran quickly followed, and clearly sensed that Medusa no longer possessed the murderous aura she had shown earlier.

He nodded with a smile, then couldn't help but glance a few more times at Queen Medusa's voluptuous body.

Queen Medusa frowned slightly.

"Don't you want your eyes anymore?"

Xiao Ran awkwardly touched his nose. He had just been momentarily distracted, unable to resist being drawn to her pride.

But how could he possibly say such a thing? How could he possibly become a decent human being?

He shook his head and said righteously,

"Your Majesty has misunderstood!"

"I was just thinking that Your Majesty's magnificent attire might not be able to withstand the onslaught of the strange fire later, so perhaps we should..."

"snort!"

Before she could finish speaking, Queen Medusa let out a cold snort.

He had already turned around and swung his palm at you.

Although he didn't use his fighting spirit, Xiao Ran's sharp eyesight allowed him to see it.

If that slap had landed, there would have been at least a five-claw mark on his face.

He didn't want to get slapped in the face by a woman.

He quickly took a step back to the side.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore!"

"It's your stuff anyway. If you don't care, why should I?"

"You really treated my kindness like dirt."

Queen Medusa gave a disdainful snort.

Xiao Ran had just stood up and hadn't even reacted yet.

A pair of warm, red lips were pressed directly onto his forehead.

Feeling the softness pressing against his chest, Xiao Ran felt extremely excited, and his nostrils seemed to be burning with heat.

Before he could fully savor the moment, Queen Medusa had already turned around.

At the same time, her cool voice came through.

"This is a secret technique of my snake-people race, the Seal of Unity. If I die, you will also be killed by the backlash of this technique!"

Xiao Ran was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly examined his own body.

However, they found nothing unusual and couldn't help but look at Medusa with curiosity.

Medusa's voice was icy cold.

"This is a secret technique; neither battle qi nor soul can perceive it!"

He immediately turned his head and swung his palm.

The strange crystal in the center of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, along with the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame on it, was directly slapped out and tossed aside.

"This is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame you requested!"

"Help me complete my evolution, and you can take me away!"

"As for the other thing you mentioned..."

Queen Medusa glanced back at Xiao Ran and saw that he looked completely bewildered, especially with the two prominent lines under his nose.

He chuckled inwardly, but forced himself not to show it, feeling a surge of smugness.

Immediately, he leaped directly into the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

As soon as Queen Medusa jumped into the pool of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, her face turned deathly pale from the cold, and her teeth chattered slightly.

But she still gritted her teeth and persevered, waving one hand.

Then, to Xiao Ran's astonishment, layers of petals appeared on the surface of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

Just as Xiao Ran was wondering, he saw a noble long dress fly out and be discarded on the shore.

Queen Medusa's snow-white shoulders and below were completely covered by the pool of petals.

The hazy, pale skin that was faintly visible made Xiao Ran involuntarily swallow hard.

It's shameful...

Queen Medusa seemed to sense Xiao Ran's burning gaze and let out a cold snort.

"Hmph! Kid, what are you looking at?"

"Keep your eyes to yourself! Aren't you supposed to help me evolve? Why aren't you starting?"

Xiao Ran licked the slightly dry Zun Chun, wiped his nose, and nodded repeatedly.

Even if I can't get what I want right now, it would still be wonderful to be able to get close to her.

With a flap of its wings, it flew directly above Queen Medusa, a wisp of strange fire appearing at the tip of its finger.

Looking at the calm-faced Queen Medusa, Xiao Ran asked with concern,

"Your Majesty, the pain of being tempered by the strange fire is indescribable. Even if someone is manipulating it, the pain is unavoidable for your evolution."

"But rest assured, I will definitely ensure your safety!"

Queen Medusa interrupted coldly.

"Just mind your own business and get started!"

This woman!

Xiao Ran shook his head inwardly.

Then he slowly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the bank of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and used his soul power to manipulate the Taiyin True Fire, which suddenly entered Queen Medusa's body.

In just a moment,

Queen Medusa let out a muffled groan.

Xiao Ran, who was standing on the shore with his eyes closed, seemed not to hear anything. He continued to carefully control the Taiyin True Fire as it circulated within Medusa's body.

At first, Medusa was able to grit her teeth and persevere.

However, as Xiao Ran controlled the true fire, it gradually enveloped Queen Medusa's entire body.

The icy spring water in the pool began to evaporate rapidly.

Medusa's face turned deathly pale, and she let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Suddenly, within the icy, cold spring...

A loud bang.

Queen Medusa transformed into her true form, a purple serpent several dozen feet long, which appeared in the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

If viewed up close,

You will then see wisps of white flame moving in and out of her enormous serpentine body.
