Chapter 267 Thunder Tribulation
The purple snake's body was constantly struggling in the flames, and every twist seemed more and more difficult. Xiao Ling could feel the vitality coming from the flames. It struggled in pain, but became stronger in the struggle.
And this transformation is both a challenge and the beginning of rebirth for Medusa.
……
Queen Medusa's transformation caused a huge commotion, and her screams were sharp and piercing, as if they were about to tear apart the tranquility of the entire cave world. The sound spread far away, penetrating every corner of the cave.
In the Warcraft Mountains, many Warcraft felt the powerful energy fluctuations coming from the Medusa Temple. They instinctively felt threatened and fled in all directions. This sudden chaos triggered a small tide of beasts. The running and roaring sounds of the beasts intertwined to form a chaotic symphony.
In the territory of the snake people, countless members of the snake people felt uneasy. They were restless, with worry written all over their faces, and their eyes were fixed on the direction from which the sound came. They know that this transformation is crucial to their queen, but it is also full of unknowns and dangers.
Although their hearts are full of anxiety, the members of the snake people know that there is not much they can do in the face of the evolution of Queen Medusa. They could only stop what they were doing, gather together, and silently pray for the queen's safety.
Outside the cave where Queen Medusa evolved, the leaders and elders of the snake people gathered together, their ears catching the shrill screams coming from the depths of the cave. Everyone's hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and their faces were full of worry.
"Evolution has begun," an elder said in a heavy and firm voice, "What we can do now is to wait patiently for the final result."
Another elder sighed, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone: "I hope Her Majesty the Queen can get through this smoothly."
Among this group of elders, Zi Yan's face also showed unprecedented seriousness. Her eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave, as if she wanted to penetrate the darkness and see Medusa's safety. The Little Medical Fairy and Qing Lin also had worried expressions on their faces, their brows furrowed and their hearts filled with worries about Medusa.
The surrounding air seemed to feel this tension and became extremely solemn.
……
In the open-air cave, Xiao Ling had already taken a few steps back, away from the stone platform where he originally stood. The stone platform no longer exists, replaced by a deep black hole with jagged edges, as if torn apart by some powerful force. Looking down from the entrance of the cave, the black hole is bottomless, at least ten meters deep, and the cave walls are covered with cracks. They spread around like spider webs, showing the destructive power of the strange fire.
The lake water around the cave was not spared either. It evaporated rapidly under the high temperature of the strange fire, leaving only a faint vapor on the water surface, and the air was filled with a mixed smell of moisture and burning. The originally calm water surface was now only a dry lake bed, and the exposed soil and rocks looked particularly desolate under the light of the strange fire.
The evolution of Queen Medusa, especially since she has reached the realm of Douzong, requires huge amounts of energy. Therefore, Xiao Ling did not hold back at all and continued to inject a large amount of fighting energy into the Fallen Heart Flame.
As Xiao Ling's fighting energy continued to be injected, the flames of the Fallen Heart Flame became more intense, and the high temperature emitted made it almost difficult to approach. This powerful energy is the key to Queen Medusa's evolution. The air in the cave became distorted due to the high temperature, as if even the space was shaking under this force.
In this situation, the flame that should have been invisible and colorless cast a swaying shadow on the stone wall.
In the cave, inside the invisible and colorless flame, Queen Medusa's scream finally began to weaken after a long half hour. Her screams, once high-pitched and strong, were now faint, as if a sign of exhaustion.
The purple snake's huge body was once writhing and struggling in the flames, but now it was almost motionless. Its body, once covered in gorgeous purple scales, was now charred black, as if it had been mercilessly branded by flames.
The originally long body of more than ten feet was now reduced to only two or three feet by the high temperature of the alien fire. It is hard to imagine how much pain its body endured and how much bones and blood it lost during this process.
When Queen Medusa's scream finally disappeared into the depths of the cave, the members of the Snake Tribe stood up in unison, their eyes full of expectation, as if waiting for the birth of a miracle.
However, as time passed by, there was still no movement in the cave. The originally hopeful atmosphere began to become tense, and uneasiness gradually rose in people's hearts.
At this moment, a sad neighing sound suddenly echoed in the cave. It was the voice of Queen Medusa, full of sadness and powerlessness.
This sound was like a cold current, penetrating everyone's heart, and the entire Snake Tribe Holy City was enveloped in a sad atmosphere. And these people all had an idea in their hearts, that is, Medusa's bloodline evolution failed this time.
There was deathly silence in the cave. The elders of the Snake Tribe looked at each other. One of the elders, with unconcealable bitterness on his face, broke the silence: "Your Majesty the Queen. Is this a failure?"
The other three elders clasped their hands, their eyes full of reluctance. They are full of contradictions in their hearts. They hope that the queen can succeed, but they are afraid of facing possible failure.
When Zi Yan heard this, her heart tightened, and an anxious look immediately appeared on her face. Anxiety arose in her heart: "Did Sister Medusa really fail to evolve this time?" Her footsteps moved involuntarily towards the direction of the cave, as if she wanted to rush in to see what was going on.
At this moment, the little medical fairy quickly reached out and held Zi Yan. Her voice was calm and gentle: "Xiao Ling hasn't come out yet, which means the matter is not over yet. We need to wait patiently. You have to believe in your Medusa Sister, she has always been so strong.”
"Moreover, even if something goes wrong, with Xiao Ling here, Medusa will only be injured at most. Xiao Ling will definitely be able to cure her, so don't worry too much."
Zi Yan was comforted by the little medical fairy's words, and she stopped, but the worry in her eyes did not completely dissipate. She held the little medical fairy's hand tightly and turned her gaze to the entrance of the cave, waiting and hoping.
The four elders of the Snake Tribe next to them calmed down a little after hearing what the little medical fairy said, but their faces were still full of nervousness. Their eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave, and their hearts were full of expectations, hoping that good news would finally come.
They know that the evolution of Queen Medusa is of great significance to the snake people, and any result may affect the future of the entire tribe. Although they were nervous, they still tried to stay calm, exchanging encouraging glances with each other, trying to convey confidence and strength to each other.
There was still no sound in the cave, and this silence made the wait even longer and torturous.
……
Deep in the cave, Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on Queen Medusa. He was observing her condition with all his concentration, trying to find clues from every tiny change.
Queen Medusa's body lay quietly in the invisible and colorless flames, as if blending into the surrounding environment. The Flame of Fallen Heart continued to burn on her body, and the temperature of the flame was so incredibly high that the air was filled with a faint burnt smell, which was the smell of Queen Medusa's skin and scales being burnt at high temperatures.
The temperature in the cave became extremely hot due to the burning of the Fallen Heart Flame, and there were even some thin beads of sweat on Xiao Ling's forehead.
Seeing that Queen Medusa seemed to have lost her movement, Xiao Ling quickly released his soul power to investigate.
Under the detection of this soul perception, Xiao Ling could only sense an extremely weak breath of life, like a candle swaying in the wind, which might be extinguished at any time. This situation can only show that Medusa is now in danger, and any small accident may kill her on the spot.
Xiao Ling touched his chin and muttered to himself: "Did Medusa really fail to evolve her bloodline this time? It shouldn't be. In the original work, the Douhuang realm was successful, so there is no reason why it can't be the Douzong realm."< br>
While muttering in a low voice, he quickly walked in the direction of Queen Medusa. The first priority was to save Medusa's life.
He secretly thought that as long as Queen Medusa was still alive, he would have a way to restore her to her original state, alive and kicking. After she recovered, Medusa could continue to use secret methods to evolve. If she tried a few times, she would succeed one time. of.
Just when Xiao Ling was about to take action, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky. The sky turned dark at some point. He was silent for a while, and then showed a relaxed smile.
"It seems that my previous worries were unnecessary," Xiao Ling said to himself, "If I guessed correctly, Medusa should have succeeded this time."
Outside the cave, Zi Yan was waiting anxiously, tears welling up in her eyes, looking very uneasy. She clasped her hands and kept praying that Queen Medusa would be safe.
Suddenly, the little medical fairy's voice broke the silence around her. There was a hint of interest in her tone: "The energy of heaven and earth has begun to riot." Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the cave wall, looking directly at the sky, observing Those unusual changes.
Zi Yan and other members of the Snake Tribe also felt the fluctuations of this energy, and their faces showed a light of hope. The little medical fairy's words were like a breath of fresh wind, blowing away the gloom in their hearts and rekindling their hope.
The atmosphere in the cave also became lively because of the little medical fairy's words.
Outside the cave, the originally bright night sky suddenly became dim, as if covered by a mysterious veil. In the sky, groups of dark clouds that came from nowhere slowly gathered. They seemed to be summoned by some kind of power and gradually enveloped the entire sky.
"Boom!" Immediately afterwards, a deafening thunder exploded in the dark clouds, like the roar of a god. Silver lightning shuttled through the clouds, dancing wildly like long silver snakes, drawing dazzling tracks in the night sky.
The sudden thunder echoed in the night sky, surprising everyone present, and confusion was written on their faces.
The great elder of the Snake Tribe was the first to recover from the shock, his voice carrying a hint of uncontrollable excitement: "Is this a success?" Its eyes shone with anticipation.
In the ancient books of the snake people, there is a record that when evolution is successful and the evolver's bloodline is extremely noble, thunder will fall as a recognition of its power. Now, the thunder and lightning in the sky seem to be the modern confirmation of this ancient prophecy.
The words of the great elder of the snake people were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. There were low murmurs in the crowd, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation.
Then, just as the Great Elder's words faded away, the dark clouds in the sky were suddenly torn apart by an earth-shattering roar. This sound is like the roar of an ancient giant beast, shaking everyone's heart and making people's heartbeats speed up involuntarily.
In an instant, the entire world was illuminated by a dazzling silver light, and a spectacular silver thunder, like a spear from the gods, suddenly pierced down from the dark cloud-covered sky and hit the cave directly. It penetrated the purple light curtain and accurately hit the mysterious invisible colorless flame.
The thunder's arrival was so swift and violent, and its departure was equally swift, as if it only took a moment. While people were still immersed in the deafening roar, the dark clouds in the sky began to disperse quickly. After a while, the bright moonlight filled the cave again, bringing a sense of tranquility.
In the aftermath of the lightning strike, a faint purple mist slowly seeped out from the body of the purple snake. It gradually spread like a veil, blurring Xiao Ling's vision. This mist has a mysterious atmosphere, which makes people full of curiosity and expectation about the evolution of Queen Medusa.
In the cave, at this moment, Xiao Ling's whole body was wrapped in a thick layer of fighting spirit energy. This layer of light was like a transparent battle suit, protecting him tightly.
Just now, the thunder in the sky was like the roar of the gods, crashing down with the force of destroying the heaven and the earth. That power not only impacted Queen Medusa, but also affected Xiao Ling not far away.
He stood on the edge of the cave and felt the impact that almost knocked him over. The power of the thunder was so great that the entire cave was shaken violently. Rocks and dust were splashed everywhere, eventually leaving a deep mark on the ground, which increased the depth of the cave by more than twenty meters. .
Xiao Ling tested his soul perception in the purple light curtain, but soon discovered that this layer of fog was extremely stubborn, blocking all detection attempts to penetrate it. Xiao Ling frowned slightly and was thinking about what to do next.
"This purple mist was produced when thunder and strange fire collided just now. It completely obscured the situation inside. My soul power cannot penetrate this layer of mist." Xiao Ling observed the scene in front of him with a trace of emotion in his tone. thinking. He knew that if he wanted to see clearly what was going on behind the fog, there was only one way, and he could only go forward and check it out in person.
Immediately, Xiao Ling took steps and walked towards the location of Medusa in the purple mist. As he gradually approached the central area, the Fallen Heart Flame he had released before came into view again. The originally invisible and colorless flame has now condensed into the size of a fist, floating quietly in mid-air. Its shape is constantly changing, as if it is dancing a silent dance.
He could feel that the fighting energy he had injected before had been exhausted, and the brightness and temperature of the flame had weakened. Xiao Ling gently waved his hand and took back the Fallen Heart Flame. The flame flew back to his palm like an obedient pet.
Xiao Ling's eyes searched carefully on the ground, and finally settled on the location where Queen Medusa was last hit by thunder. The ground there has been torn apart by the power of thunder, leaving deep cracks, as if nature showed its wildness and power at this moment.
On the ground that had been ravaged by thunder, the figure of a giant snake came into view. It was covered with charred scars and lay there quietly, motionless. Its body was cold and looked like a dead snake that had lost its life.
Xiao Ling felt a little uneasy in his heart. He walked forward quickly and knelt down to take a closer look. The giant snake's scales had become brittle under the high temperature of the thunder, and its body appeared extremely fragile under the impact of the thunder. Xiao Ling reached out and gently touched the giant snake's body, feeling its cold and hard scales.
When Xiao Ling's fingers were about to touch the charred body of the giant snake, a subtle clicking sound suddenly sounded from the snake's body. Although the sound was small, it clearly penetrated the silence around it.
Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on the giant snake's body, and he saw that the originally stiff snake body began to move. The blackened skin trembled slightly at first, and then slowly began to peel off, like dry bark peeling off a tree trunk.
As time went by, the shedding speed became faster and faster. Finally, Xiao Ling could vaguely see that something seemed to be brewing inside the giant snake's body, as if it would break through the restraints and break out of the body at any time.
This scene was full of mystery and expectation, and even Xiao Ling's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" sound, and the giant snake's body exploded violently, and its pitch-black scales flew everywhere like dust blown away by strong winds. The originally intact body instantly turned into powder and dissipated in the air.
At the moment when the giant snake's corpse was turned into powder, a powerful and suffocating aura suddenly erupted. It spread at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, and quickly enveloped the entire holy city of the snake people.
This aura was so strong that it reached at least the level of a three-star Douzong. Its pressure even caused the dark clouds that had gathered due to thunder to be torn apart directly, revealing a huge hole through which light fell. Lighting up the space inside the cave.
