Chapter 102 The Strange Fire Attracted by the Strange Fire!
Queen Medusa was exactly the same as the projection seen in the temple before, still wearing that purple brocade robe that wrapped her alluring body.
It's no wonder that Queen Medusa's fame for both her beauty and her ruthlessness was known throughout the Tagor Desert and several surrounding empires.
Someone like her, even without doing anything, can draw the attention of the men around her.
She sat upright opposite the strange fire, a purple tail swaying casually. In front of her was a pale blue light shield, surrounded by a small patch of cold spring water, and inside was a wisp of blue flame.
At the tip of that cyan flame, there was a wisp of white, which was undoubtedly the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking!
At this moment, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame sometimes transformed into a lotus flower, and sometimes into a small snake, attempting to break through the light barrier.
Each time it breaks through, the light shield will flash once, and the water in the small pools around it will decrease slightly.
"It's actually an icy spring, and it's such a large area!"
As an alchemist, Xiao Yan had naturally seen this kind of thing in medicine books.
Legend has it that the most terrifying existence in the world is not only strange fire, but also any attribute, when condensed to its extreme, can give birth to an extremely terrifying existence.
Although there is only the Ranking of Strange Flames in this world, even alchemists do not deny that there may be equally terrifying things such as Strange Water, Strange Wind, and Strange Thunder.
This icy spiritual spring, even a small drop can temporarily suppress strange fire, and is also an essential ingredient for refining pills such as the Ice Heart Pill and the Cold Bone Pill.
The spring water alone can suppress the strange fire, and if the source of the Frosty Spirit Spring is found, it may even be able to extinguish the strange fires that rank lower!
Of course, the strange fire itself is also the ultimate pursuit of alchemists. Compared with the destructive power of other strange objects, alchemists value its improvement on their alchemy skills more.
If the alchemist found out that someone had extinguished the strange fire, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Queen Medusa used the power of this icy spring to suppress the ever-raging Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
Xiao Yan held his breath and concentrated. Even though Queen Medusa wasn't paying attention to him right now, if she discovered him, he would probably be killed in a single move.
The best course of action now is to wait and see what she's going to do.
If she fails to transform, then I can conveniently take over the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and that pool of icy spiritual spring.
If the other party successfully transforms, then one must flee as far away as possible.
"It's finally come to this; there's no turning back now!"
Queen Medusa sighed softly and made several hand seals with lightning speed, seemingly activating some kind of secret technique.
Then, she slowly took off all her clothes. Her purple brocade robe fell to the ground, revealing her full, mature, fair body to Xiao Yan.
In an instant, Xiao Yan felt a strange fire surge up in his heart, and a strong possessiveness filled his entire body.
However, he quickly regained his senses and used his strange fire and soul power to fight against this alluring force.
"What terrifying seductive arts! Even without actively releasing them, just seeing her body is enough to make one lose control."
Xiao Yan felt a wave of fear wash over him. If he hadn't resisted the temptation, he would have been easily killed if he had rushed out now.
After removing all her clothes, Queen Medusa slowly approached the light barrier, and then her body began to change, covered with dense purple scales.
Her body was also expanding and growing, and in just a few seconds, she transformed into a purple snake ten feet long!
"Is that Medusa Queen in her true form?"
Xiao Yan stared in surprise at the large purple snake, but the snake-man was in its most original state, so how could it have a physical form? The large purple snake seemed to be activated by some kind of secret technique.
Xiao Yan still dared not make any rash moves and could only watch as the other party approached the light barrier step by step.
Just as the purple serpent approached the light barrier, it suddenly opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the strange fire whole!
"What is she doing? Has she gone mad?"
Xiao Yan was startled by this scene; the giant serpent that Queen Medusa had transformed into had actually swallowed the strange fire.
However, strange fire is not something that can be easily contained, and her actions undoubtedly angered it.
Even with only instinctive spirituality, the strange fire began to erupt with terrifying high temperatures, filling the body of the purple serpent.
"what!"
A piercing scream echoed throughout the entire holy city, startling everyone, including the snake people. The thought that had crossed everyone's mind was that the ritual had begun!
The temperature inside the purple serpent's body rose rapidly, and her body could no longer fully withstand the burning of the strange fire.
Wisps of blue flames emanated from her body, gradually covering her skin with a terrifying layer of blue flames!
If a Douhuang expert uses Dou Qi for defense, he can temporarily resist the strange fire from the outside. However, if the fire is started from the inside, even a Douhuang expert will be burned to death.
Queen Medusa's cultivation level was at the peak of Dou Huang, so doing this was undoubtedly suicidal.
Xiao Yan knew very well that the other party would not choose this method to commit suicide, which meant that she must have a bigger plan.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!"
The giant purple snake kept letting out mournful cries, rolling back and forth on the spot. Its body was enormous, and each roll sent sand and stones flying from the ground.
"Hey, could you please get a little further away? Don't spill all that icy spring water!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan began to feel a little sorry for the unused Frosty Spirit Spring, since judging from Queen Medusa's condition, she wouldn't be able to use it again.
As time passed, the azure flames burned ever brighter, and eventually the purple serpent's movements became increasingly sluggish. Its body was burned to a crisp by the flames, and it collapsed to the ground, motionless.
"Failed? That's it, we're dead?"
Looking at the charred corpse of the purple serpent lying on the ground, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh. This was still a Dou Huang powerhouse. If he had failed to subdue the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire back then, he probably would have turned to ashes.
For some reason, Xiao Yan felt a sense of admiration for those who were on the same adventurous path.
"It's about time to make a move. Let's see if that strange fire is still there."
After confirming that the giant snake had been completely burned, Xiao Yan rushed over.
Within the charred corpse, a wisp of blue flame flickered. However, burning the purple serpent had consumed a great deal of its power, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame now appeared somewhat dim.
However, this is exactly what Xiao Yan needs. A weak strange fire is much easier to subdue than a strong one.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to make his move, a terrifying heat suddenly swept in from afar, and a series of terrifying roars, like those of a dragon, rapidly approached the entire Holy City.
Xiao Yan looked up and saw that outside the Holy City of the Snake-People, the sky was being stirred by gales and flames, and a fiery tornado, a hundred feet high, was approaching step by step!
"this----"
Xiao Yan opened the medicine book and looked at the illustrations of the strange fire category, and sure enough, he found a familiar description.
"Wind Fury Dragon Flame, ranked eighteenth on the list of strange flames, is rumored to appear only for a limited time in the desert after a certain temperature is reached. It appears as a fiery tornado, leaving nothing but ashes and sand in its wake!"
It was only at this moment that Xiao Yan suddenly realized that when Queen Medusa performed the ritual, she had activated the unique properties of the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame.
However, this terrifying heat caused the Holy City to become the hottest place in the desert, and it also attracted an even more terrifying strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking: the Wind Fury Dragon Flame!
