The Battle Through Heaven
The failed negotiation
Hearing Queen Medusa's words that implied rejection, many people were stunned. Although the strength of ‘He Heavenly Fire is very great, it should not have much appeal to the Snake-People race. After all, this wild and extremely destructive ‘Heavenly Fire is like water to fire to their icy blood.
Thus, when they heard Queen Medusa using a somewhat regretful tone to reject the offer, Gu He, as well as Yan Shi, Feng Li and the others beside him were completely dumbfounded faces.
"Has this woman's mind been damaged what's the point of saving ‘Api Heavenly’ that isn't of much use to her? Wouldn't it be better to trade it for something useful for him and create a win-win scenario? " Yao Shi helplessly shook his head and gently muttered in confusion.
Beside him, Feng Lin also shook his head. His face was filled with ignorance.
Compared to their shock, Yue Mei and Mo Basi on the city walls were much calmer. From Queen Medusa's refusal, they clearly understood what she was actually planning …
"Ugh, as expected. His Majesty really seems to want to do that. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to refuse this kind of trade. " Yue Mei sighed softly and whispered.
Mo Basi nodded his head gently. There was worry and bitterness on her eagle-like feminine face.
"Ck ck, Queen Medusa fulfilled her name. He could reject such a kind term with such decisiveness. " With his body hidden under a boulder, Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at the dazzling beauty and subconsciously sucked out his lips.
"It's indeed a little strange According to logic, ‘Api Heavenly’ doesn't have much appeal to the Snake-People Why did he reject the offer? Don't tell me he was scared after Gu He got ‘He Heavenly Fire’, his increase in strength would harm the Snake-People race? No, this excuse doesn't seem to make sense. A strong person like Gu He rarely joined the fight between the two sides. Otherwise, they would have started fighting the moment Queen Medusa appeared. " Yao Lao's voice was filled with doubt. He pondered for a long time before he appeared to suddenly recall something. He let out a soft cry involuntarily, "Don't tell me?"
"What's? The teacher?" Xiao Yan furrowed his brows and asked gently in his heart.
"I'll tell you in detail later" Yao Lao replied quickly. After which, he became silent and did not respond regardless of how Xiao Yan shouted in his heart.
After shouting once more, Xiao Yan was speechless as he shook his head. He muttered softly, "Absolutely mysterious …"
Queen Medusa's refusal caused Gu He to go silent for a moment. Fortunately, his tolerance was not something that ordinary people could compare with. For a moment, he quickly drew a stunned expression on his face. He frowned and looked at Queen Medusa in the distance. Sighing softly, he said, "Your Majesty, your refusal is completely beyond my expectations. I don't like to keep it a secret so the terms just now are the most valuable thing I can offer. At first I thought they could move His Majesty. Unfortunately, I guess I miscalculated. "
"Grandmaster Gu He, your requirements make me very interested, but for some reason, ‘He Heavenly Fire is very important to me now." The regret on Queen Medusa's pretty face was quite difficult to hide. Evidently, he did not fully care about the item Gu He mentioned.
Gu He sighed. His facial expression was a bit lethargic. He clearly understood that if Queen Medusa was unwilling to give up ‘He Heavenly Fire’, the strength of some of them would not be able to force her hand.
"Can you tell me why you want to save ‘Api Heavenly’?" Gu He laughed bitterly.
"I'm sorry. No." Queen Medusa shook her head and waved her hand lazily. He said in a soft voice, "Forget it. Grandmaster Gu He, return to where you came from. As for that mysterious compensation, forget it. It's okay as long as you get out of here quickly. The leaders of the Eight Great Tribes of the Snake People race had already rushed here. Among them, there are some who hate you humans so much. Therefore, you should leave as soon as possible. If not, there may be unnecessary problems as they arise. "
Hearing Queen Medusa's words, Gu He smiled bitterly and sighed. He tilted his head to face some of his friends with a helpless face.
"Old Man, are we just going to leave?" Yan Shi glanced at Queen Medusa in the distance and said with a frown.
"What can we do if we don't go? It's not like you don't know the power of Queen Medusa. Do you think it's possible we took it by force? " Gu He sighed and said. To be honest, he naturally did not want to leave empty-handed. However, the opponent's strength was too great. Moreover, this was enemy territory. If they use violence, the end of the story may not be very pleasant.
Hearing Gu He's words, Yan Shi and Feng Li became a little sluggish. With their strength, they naturally could not challenge Queen Medusa. Their gaze immediately turned to the black-robed person at the side and gently asked, "What does Sectional Leader Yun think?"
Seeing the actions of Yan Shi and Feng Li, Gu He also turned his gaze towards the black-robed person, waiting for him to speak.
The black-robed man was silent. He did not immediately answer Yan Shi's question. Since he did not speak, everyone could only wait quietly. Queen Medusa and the others also turned their gazes to the black-robed person.
The black-robed person was the focus of everyone's attention. A few moments later, he moved a little. His human figure slowly took a step forward and his black robe slightly raised, revealing a small and graceful chin as white as snow. His faint and cold voice was emitted quickly, "I once recklessly read some information about the Serpent People's Queen from an ancient book. It was said that once Queen Medusa reached the peak of a Dou Huang, she could undergo a strange evolution if she was lucky enough. Queen Medusa who had undergone evolution would not only be able to transform into a human body but her strength would also be enhanced into a Dou Zong. However, the probability of such an evolution succeeding was extremely low. What's more ... The most important thing needed for this evolution is ‘Api Heavenly’ … I think the reason why Queen Medusa was unwilling to give up the Heavenly Flame was because she was planning on undergoing this evolution that required the help of ‘ Heavenly Flames. " The black-robed person tilted his head slightly and spoke softly, saying,
"Uh ..." Xiao Yan regained his mind after being pulled back by Yao Lao's words. He said in an uncertain soft voice, "This voice Why is it different from that night? Moreover, there is a feeling that is a little familiar yet foreign Master, do you have this feeling? "
"Is there nothing better for me to do than pay attention to the voice of a woman?" Yao Lao said helplessly. The attention he gave to the medicinal pills far exceeded the attention of women. Regardless of how beautiful her voice was, it was difficult for her to feel madness.
" Cough ..." Xiao Yan let out an awkward cough and could only put aside the question about the origin of the voice from his mind. She softly said, "So Queen Medusa can really evolve into a Dou Zong with the help of ‘Api Heavenly’?"
"Indeed he could. However, this evolution is very dangerous. If it was not done properly, he would have completely burnt into nothingness by ‘He Heavenly Fire’. But if he was able to withstand it, he would undergo a very strange evolution. I am also not so sure about what kind of transformation will take place. This kind of thing is usually only known by the people involved. " Said Yao Lao with a smile.
Xiao Yan laughed bitterly. Why the situation is becoming more complex. He could only shake his head helplessly. Raising his head to look at the quiet sky, he said softly, "It's better if they start fighting soon. That way, I will have the opportunity to log in and steal ‘Api Heavenly’ … "
"Qi Queen Medusa seems a little strange .. Hm, it seems to have an illusory feeling." Sweeping his Spiritual Perception across the empty space, Yao Lao suddenly said strangely.
"What do you mean?" He blinked his eyes, feeling confused. A moment later, he said in a stunned voice, "You mean this Queen Medusa is a fake?"
"We were very far away and I only felt a little because I was afraid of being discovered. Looks like something's wrong. " Said Yao Lao helplessly.
"Everything's getting more complex." Xiao Yan muttered once more and slowly became silent. He once again set his eyes on the sky.
Hearing the words the black-robed person spoke, there was a clear change to Queen Medusa's expression. His charming eyes stared intently at the black-robed person with a cold aura floating above him. He said in a soft voice, "I didn't expect you to know about such things. Really surprised me. "
"Not only do I know that you need ‘Heavenly Fire’ to complete your evolution, but I also know that you are currently just an energy body that has the mind of Queen Medusa. I think the real Queen Medusa must be somewhere preparing to evolve. " The black-robed person said in a faint voice.
As the black-robed person said those words, everyone from both sides were shocked. The faces of Yue Mei and Mo Stale changed drastically. They looked at each other and saw the feeling of worry in each other's eyes.
"Cleader of the Yun Sect, you mean that Queen Medusa is currently just an energy body?" Yan Shi pointed at the distant Queen Medusa and said in a stunned voice. From his senses, he did not find anything inappropriate.
"Yes." Yeah." The black-robed man nodded his head. He lifted his foot and quietly stepped down. His body disappeared immediately.
By the time the black-robed person disappeared, Queen Medusa's pretty face changed considerably. He would move when a dark black figure appeared in an instant behind him. A jade-white hand stretched out and landed on Queen Medusa's back in a manner that seemed slow yet swift.
"Truly brash!" Looking at the black-robed person who attacked in an instant, the faces of Yue Mei and Mo Basi suddenly changed. The pair of energy wings on their backs flapped and quickly pounced towards the black-robed person.
"Hehe, you two better not interfere carelessly." Two figures flashed. Amidst the journey, Yan Shi and Feng Li blocked the two of them.
The originally peaceful atmosphere in the sky immediately turned aggressive.
Ignoring the actions of the people around, the black-robed person leaned forward and looked at Queen Medusa whose body was stiff. In a soft voice, he said, "Am I right, Your Majesty?"
"You truly live to be a Dou Huang by being able to find my energetic avatar very quickly." Queen Medusa's narrow and long pupils shrank as she laughed softly. His leisure attitude did not show any panic from being caught.
"I think His Majesty's real body can't be bothered right now, right? Otherwise, you won't let us act so presumptuously. Ah, pretty good opportunity. " The black-robed man smiled. His palm suddenly shook and ferocious strength was released from his body, hitting Queen Medusa's back violently. Following the muffled voice, Queen Medusa who was bewitching and moving in the air immediately turned into a pale purple smoke that slowly rose and disappeared.
"They finally started fighting ..." Watching the black-robed person in the sky who did not hesitate to attack, Xiao Yan cheered softly. His face was filled with a brilliant smile.
