Chapter 266 Bloodline Evolution
In the center of the cave, there is a small pool, the surface of the water is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the faint light above, sparkling. Around the pool, there are some exotic herbs and minerals, the faint light they emit and the light in the pool complement each other, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
Queen Medusa pointed to a flat stone platform beside the pool and said softly to Xiao Ling: "This is the place I prepared for the evolution of bloodline. I have also arranged guards around the temple, and no one will come in to disturb you. You just need to cast the spell."
Xiao Ling glanced around the cave and nodded with satisfaction. He could clearly feel a special energy permeating the cave, which seemed to have a natural affinity with the snake people. It was undoubtedly the result of Medusa's careful arrangement. Such an environment was ideal for the upcoming bloodline evolution.
"Very good," Xiao Ling responded easily. His voice echoed in the cave, carrying a hint of seriousness that was about to begin. "Then let's get started. Medusa, are you ready?"
Queen Medusa took a deep breath, then nodded firmly, her eyes flashing with determination: "I'm ready, Xiao Ling, let's get started."
Xiao Ling nodded, and without saying anything, he started to act. With a light wave of his hand, an invisible and colorless flame leaped out from his palm. With the flow of air, the flame expanded rapidly, and in an instant it turned into a blazing fire.
This invisible and colorless flame seemed to have life. It danced in the cave, baking the surrounding space and causing it to distort slightly. The temperature rose sharply, as if even the air was trembling in the heat wave. The rocky ground in the cave could no longer withstand the heat, and tiny cracks appeared on the surface.
For some reason, Xiao Ling deliberately chose the Fallen Heart Flame instead of other more destructive fires in this evolution ceremony. He knew that using those overly violent flames might not only interfere with the evolution process, but also cause unnecessary pain to Medusa. Although the power of the Fallen Heart Flame is not weak, it is much milder than those fires that are specifically used for combat, such as the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame.
Moreover, the Fallen Heart Flame has a unique advantage, that is, it can temper the physique, which is an additional benefit for Medusa. In the process of evolution, this flame can not only provide the necessary energy, but also help her temper her body and lay a better foundation for future cultivation. Xiao Ling believes that after the baptism of the Fallen Heart Flame, there are only benefits and no harm for Medusa.
Although the Fallen Heart Flame was invisible and colorless, a strong person like Medusa could sense the existence of the flame, just like a transparent ball of light dancing in the air. She stared at the Fallen Heart Flame, and the determination in her eyes became brighter. She took a deep breath and prepared to start the secret method to start the process of bloodline evolution.
But at this moment, Xiao Ling's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of a relaxed smile, breaking the serious atmosphere in the cave: "Hey, Medusa, do you want to take off your clothes first? I know you don't care about these details, but those clothes can't withstand the high temperature of the strange fire, don't let them burn."
Medusa turned her head and her eyes met Xiao Ling's. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes at first, but it was soon replaced by a feeling of understanding. She could guess that Xiao Ling was using humor to ease her tension and relax her mood. The corners of her mouth rose slightly and she nodded gently, indicating that she had understood his good intentions.
But Queen Medusa quickly came to her senses and muttered to herself: This Xiao Ling must have had bad intentions and must be trying to take advantage of me. She stared at Xiao Ling with wide eyes, biting her bright red lips lightly, as if trying to suppress her emotions. She deliberately frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction: "You guy, you really got away with it this time."
Although there was a hint of blame in her words, the smile that Medusa inadvertently showed at the corner of her mouth revealed that she was not really angry. This tiny movement did not escape Xiao Ling's eyes. He caught it and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
As Medusa's gentle words echoed in the cave, her fingers deftly slid over the buttons of her brocade robe and slowly unbuttoned them. As the buttons were unbuttoned one by one, her brocade robe gradually slipped off, revealing her perfect figure that was like a work of art. Under the illumination of the white moonstone, her skin was like the most delicate white jade, emitting a warm and soft light.
In such a mysterious and quiet environment, Medusa's beauty is particularly prominent. Her curves are smooth and attractive, and every subtle movement reveals her natural charm. Her beauty is not only external, but also the expression of her inner temperament. Her face is more enchanting and charming against the white light, as if she has a charm that can seduce people.
Her neck was slender and fair, with an elegant curve. As the line of sight moved downward, her full and perky breasts, round and elastic, made one marvel at the ingenuity of nature.
Under the blazing heat of the cave, a drop of crystal sweat slid down her elegant neck and slowly rolled along the curve of her body. It skilfully crossed her plump breasts, leaving a shining trail, and finally dripped to the ground under the action of gravity. A "tick-tick" sound was heard, as if the sweat drop fell on the tip of Xiao Ling's heart.
Her slender waist seemed like it could be held in one hand, but beneath her slightly thin appearance, she concealed an indescribable flexibility. Her belly was flat and tight, without a trace of excess fat, making people want to reach out and touch it to feel its elasticity and warmth.
Under Medusa's slender waist, a pair of amazing long legs extend out. They are tight and powerful, as if they are masterpieces carefully carved by nature. Her legs have smooth lines, and the muscles just show health and vitality. There is no extra fat, but it does not look too skinny.
In the dim light of the cave, Medusa's legs seemed to be endowed with a mysterious charm, and they looked even more seductive in the interweaving of light and shadow. Whenever she moved slightly, the muscles of her legs slid delicately under her skin, as if telling the perfect balance of strength and elegance.
Medusa's legs not only give people a beautiful visual enjoyment, but also exude an irresistible temptation. They seem to invite people to follow her every graceful step and explore every corner she walks through.
Facing the graceful figure of Medusa, even Xiao Ling, who had experienced many storms, could not help but feel dry mouth. He quickly shifted his gaze and sighed silently in his heart.
"It is said that the snake-man Medusa is born with an irresistible charm. Now it seems that this rumor is true." Xiao Ling thought to himself, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips. "This kind of charm is more powerful than any aphrodisiac for men. I almost lost my composure. Fortunately, Xiao Yixian helped me relieve it yesterday, otherwise I might have been embarrassed today."
He shook his head gently, trying to dispel those distracting thoughts and refocus his mind. Xiao Ling knew that now was not the time to indulge in beauty, he had more important tasks to complete. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then cast his gaze on Medusa again. This time, there was only determination and concentration in his eyes.
As Queen Medusa waved her hand gently, her purple brocade robe slowly fell on the cold stone ground like a soft cloud. She walked forward with firm steps, each step seemed so solemn and powerful. Her eyes were fixed on the invisible and colorless Falling Heart Flame, and her eyes flashed with a mixture of expectation and determination.
Medusa bit her red lips lightly. Her voice was low and powerful, as if she was announcing her determination to the whole world: "This is a crucial moment. All the Medusa queens of the past, please give me your blessings. I must succeed for the future of the snake people and for our past glory."
After Queen Medusa finished speaking, she raised her hand lightly and gently pulled off the purple hairband tied around her black hair. As the hairband slipped off, her long, shiny black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, straight down to her slender waist.
She shook her head slightly, letting her smooth hair flutter lightly in the air. This casual action made her look even more charming, like a fairy walking out of a painting, with a kind of otherworldly grace. The breeze in the cave seemed to be attracted by her beauty, blowing her hair gently, making them dance in the air, adding a bit of mystery and elegance. Every movement of Queen Medusa seemed so natural and full of charm, making people involuntarily attracted by her temperament.
Queen Medusa slowly clasped her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes gently, and began to concentrate on performing the secret method of evolving her bloodline. Her jade hands began to draw a series of complex and mysterious seals in the air. As her fingers danced, the energy of heaven and earth in the cave seemed to be awakened and began to tremble subtly.
As her handprints continued to change, the energy fluctuations in the cave gradually intensified and became more and more obvious. Soon, the fluctuations became so strong that a huge energy vortex formed in the cave. This vortex slowly rotated, constantly absorbing the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, making the atmosphere in the cave more tense and mysterious.
In the center of the vortex, Queen Medusa was surrounded by a circle of rich light. This light was like a layer of light shield, tightly wrapping her inside, and her figure appeared solemn and sacred in the light. This layer of light not only protected her, but also provided the necessary energy for her upcoming bloodline evolution.
Xiao Ling stood aside, his eyes fixed on Queen Medusa. He could feel the flow and changes of energy in the cave. He knew that this was a critical moment, and any external interference could affect the evolution process. Therefore, he remained highly vigilant and was ready to deal with any situation that might arise.
The light on Medusa's body began to expand and contract rhythmically, just like her breathing, full of power and life. Suddenly, a deep and powerful roar erupted from the light, with the majesty of a lion and the ferocity of a tiger. The sound echoed in the cave, shaking every corner.
As the roar sounded, the dazzling light suddenly became stronger, almost impossible to look at directly. At the moment when the light reached its brightest, it suddenly disappeared, replaced by a huge purple snake, its body suspended in the air, at least seventy or eighty feet long.
The body lines of the purple giant snake are smooth and powerful, and every movement of it reveals an indescribable elegance. Its lavender pupils are deep and peaceful, as if it can see through all the noise in the world and maintain a transcendent indifference.
Xiao Ling was not unfamiliar with this giant snake. It was a relatively rare magical beast, called the Purple Ghost Flame Snake, and it was also the magical body of Medusa. This magical beast was not only huge in size, but also had an awe-inspiring noble temperament. It was said that the Purple Ghost Flame Snake had the blood of the ancient beast Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python flowing in its body, which was an extremely rare and powerful genetic bloodline.
If conditions are right and chance is right, the Purple Nether Flame Snake may activate the thin ancient bloodline in its body, achieve amazing evolution, and return to the glory of its ancient ancestors. This potential makes the Purple Nether Flame Snake highly respected among snake beasts, but the Purple Nether Flame Snake that can break through the shackles of bloodline and evolve into a seven-colored swallowing python has not appeared for a long time.
Inside the cave, the presence of the giant purple snake made the air around it seem even more mysterious. Its huge body swam slowly in the air, and its purple scales shimmered in the faint light, as if every scale contained a magnificent power.
Xiao Ling stared at the purple giant python in front of him, wondering if Medusa could successfully awaken the blood of the seven-colored swallowing python this time as described in the original book.
In the original novel, Medusa completed her blood awakening when she reached Dou Huang level, and now she has been promoted to Dou Zong, so it should be smoother. What's more, I am still there to protect her, at least Medusa's life safety is guaranteed.
While Xiao Ling was immersed in his own thoughts, the huge purple snake in the sky circled for a few times, suddenly let out a clear and low groan, and then swooped down towards the invisible and colorless flame without hesitation.
Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on Medusa. She did not hesitate at all. As if being pulled by some mysterious force, she bravely rushed towards the flame that seemed calm but contained infinite energy. Her figure became blurred in the flame, as if she had merged with the flame. The air around her trembled slightly because of her actions. It seemed that even time had frozen at this moment.
At the moment when the purple snake plunged into the strange fire, Queen Medusa let out a sharp and shrill scream. The sound was so piercing that it seemed to penetrate people's hearts and make people shudder.
Xiao Ling frowned when he heard the sudden scream. The sound came from the strange fire, with an indescribable pain and struggle, which made people worry about Queen Medusa.
The air around seemed to become tense because of the scream. The wind seemed to stop blowing, and even the surrounding lake water stopped rippling. The whole world seemed to stop at this moment, just to listen to the wailing from the depths of the flames.
Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on the invisible and colorless flame in the air. He saw a huge purple snake rolling wildly in the flames. Its body was twisted under the burning flames, and every roll seemed extremely difficult.
In Xiao Ling's sight, the scales on the purple snake began to twist and deform rapidly. They quickly became charred under the high temperature of the strange fire, and finally fell off the snake powerlessly. These scales were like lives stripped away by the flames, floating in the air one by one, and then slowly fell to the ground, leaving a trail of black tracks.
As the scales fell off, scarlet wounds appeared on the purple snake's body, and blood gushed out. However, after the fresh blood came into contact with the high temperature of the strange fire, it instantly evaporated and turned into wisps of blood-colored smoke that dissipated in the air. As a result, shocking blood marks were left on the purple snake's body, like scars branded by flames.
“Squeak…Squeak…”
Xiao Ling stood on the stone platform, and heard the painful roar of the purple flaming snake in the strange fire. Through the invisible and colorless Falling Heart Flame, he could clearly see that due to the rapid loss of blood, the purple flaming snake's originally huge body was gradually shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and each contraction seemed to tell of the intense pain that Medusa was suffering at this moment.
The transformation of Queen Medusa was undoubtedly an extremely harsh test, and the pain it brought was unimaginable to ordinary people, enough to make most people faint in pain. However, Medusa not only endured it all, but also persisted for so long, which fully demonstrated her extraordinary willpower and tenacity.
Xiao Ling watched the transformation process of Queen Medusa and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This Medusa is really cruel to herself. I hope she can succeed this time and complete her evolution." He noticed that the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame was being consumed rapidly, and realizing that the flame could not be weakened, he immediately mobilized the fighting spirit in his body and transported it into the air to replenish the power of the Fallen Heart Flame to ensure that it could burn continuously and stably.
With the infusion of Dou Qi, the light of the Fallen Heart Flame became more dazzling, and the temperature of the flame seemed to increase. Xiao Ling could feel that his Dou Qi had established a subtle connection with the flame, as if he was sharing the hardship of this transformation with Queen Medusa.
His eyes were fixed on Queen Medusa, watching every inch of her skin become tougher under the baptism of fire. Every time she struggled, Xiao Ling's heart tightened.
