Chapter 302 The Queen's Request

Xiao Zhen and Medusa flew into a dense forest, where there was a carefully prepared cave. It looked like this should be the temporary resting place for Her Majesty the Queen.

Xiao Zhen was still a little excited at this moment. He didn't expect that Medusa missed him so much that she came all the way from thousands of miles away.

However, despite being excited, he still had a little bit of caution. If Her Majesty the Queen was not here to talk about love with him, but to take his life, he might be careless for a moment and then secretly resent Northwest.

After entering the cave, Medusa asked softly, "Do you know why I am looking for you this time?"

Xiao Zhen shook his head. He was not a fortune teller, so how could he know everything? However, he felt a little excited.

Medusa stared at Xiao Zhen carefully and asked seriously: "I heard that you have a strange fire in your hand, is it true?"

Xiao Zhen was somewhat surprised and asked: "How did you know?"

It was no wonder that Xiao Zhen was surprised. The fact that he possessed the strange fire was a secret in itself, and not many people knew about it. He did not expect that Medusa, who was thousands of miles away, would also know about it.

Medusa raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a smug smile: "Don't underestimate the means of our snake people. There are many chess pieces left by the king in your Xiao family!"

There was a hint of shock in Xiao Zhen's eyes. He didn't expect that this woman, Du Sha, actually had arrangements in his Xiao family.

Pawn? Xiao Zhen first suspected Die. Although Die would not betray him based on their friendship over the years, it was very likely that she would let the cat out of the bag based on this woman's personality.

As for whether there were other snake people in the family, Xiao Zhen quickly ruled it out. Die often bought some poor snake people from some auction houses. After all, she didn't want to see these compatriots become slaves bullied by others.

However, almost all of the snake people that were auctioned were secretly sent back to the Tagor Desert, and none of them stayed in the Xiao family for more than half a month.

Medusa explained impatiently: "Don't be suspicious. My snake people are born with the ability to control some snakes. I just need to put a few snakes in your Xiao family. They will be my best spies!"

Xiao Zhen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there were always a few snakes in the yard. He used to think that they were pets raised by Die, but he didn't expect that they were spies sent by Her Majesty the Queen. He was too careless!

Xiao Zhen sighed and answered honestly: "My Queen, I do have a kind of strange fire, and it is the 19th-ranked Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire."

Medusa's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she said excitedly: "No wonder you can become a sixth-grade alchemist so quickly, it seems that this strange fire is of great help to you!"

Xiao Zhen was not a fool. Having read the original novel carefully, he soon understood why Medusa was so excited. It turned out that she wanted to use his strange fire to evolve.

Medusa also realized that she had lost her composure, but at least the two of them had a relationship that had not been exposed, so she thought Xiao Zhen would not refuse her request.

"Xiao Lang, I have made no progress in my cultivation recently. I wonder if you can help me!"

In order to seek Xiao Zhen's help, Medusa gave it her all and even called him Xiao Lang by such a cheesy name.

Xiao Zhen didn't expose the truth. He knew everything he needed to know anyway, so all he had to do was cooperate.

"Don't worry, Queen. We are close friends. If you want any elixir, just tell me!" Xiao Zhen patted his chest, looking like a local tycoon.

Medusa chuckled softly and said, "I don't need any elixirs. I just need you to use the strange fire to refine my body. Then I can achieve the effect of advancing my bloodline. By then, I will definitely become a Dou Zong-level warrior!"

Xiao Zhen also knew the danger involved. Although the advancement was basically successful in the original work, now, theoretically the success rate would be higher, but it might not be as lucky as in the original work.

"You have to think clearly. Strange fire is a very dangerous thing. Once it burns me violently, I may not be able to stop in time!"

Medusa did shake her head and said firmly: “I am the queen of the entire snake tribe, and I must have the power to protect the entire tribe. If I had the power of Dou Zong, perhaps Die would not have been forced to flee the snake tribe.

Moreover, my cultivation has been stagnant for too long. There has been no progress at all in all these years. This is not what I want!

The success rate of domesticated alien fire should be higher than that of wild alien fire, so please give me a helping hand! "

Seeing that Medusa had made up her mind, Xiao Zhen still asked with concern: "Since you have made the decision, do you have any other preparations? You should know that even with your body comparable to that of a sixth-level peak monster, you may be completely destroyed by the burning of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire!"

Medusa nodded and waved her slender fingers gently. Seven large barrels of cold blue liquid appeared in the cave.

Seeing these familiar things, Xiao Zhen knew that they were the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, which also provided him a lot of help when he swallowed the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Medusa smiled proudly and said, "Well, these preparations should be enough!"

Xiao Zhen smiled. It seemed that Her Majesty the Queen had made quite complete preparations. However, he might as well take out some more things to increase the chance of success.

A small jade bottle appeared in Xiao Zhen's hand, and he threw it directly to Medusa.

"It contains a sixth-grade intermediate elixir, which is specially used to save your life. You can take it before forging your body with the strange fire. It will relieve your pain!"

When Medusa touched the small jade bottle, she showed some joy in her eyes. It seemed that this man still had some conscience. It was not a pity that both sisters fell into the hands of this guy.

After looking around, Xiao Zhen asked doubtfully, "You are not planning to break through here, are you?"

Medusa shook her head. She was not a fool. The noise of a breakthrough would definitely be very loud. This place was no more than ten miles away from the capital of the Gama Empire. It was originally a temporary resting place. For such a big event as a breakthrough, of course she had to find a safe place.

"As for the breakthrough location, I have already prepared it and am just waiting for your reply!" Medusa smiled and put the surrounding Ice Spirit Cold Spring back into the ring.

Medusa spread her fighting spirit wings behind her and quickly flew out of the cave, with Xiao Zhen following behind her.

Looking at Xiao Zhen who had caught up with him, Medusa explained, "In the north of the Gama Empire, there is a valley full of venomous snakes and monsters. The location of that place is extremely hidden, and I have tamed three fifth-level monsters."

Xiao Zhen nodded in understanding, and then the two of them, one in front and one behind, drew two communication lines in the sky.

Along the way, Xiao Zhen did not forget to chat with Medusa. After all, the two hadn't seen each other for a while. After being free from the influence of the red line, he was not sure whether this woman would harm him after she was done.

Through the conversation, Xiao Zhen discovered that Medusa's attitude towards him seemed a little cold. Although she called him "my dear", there was no warmth at all.

In fact, Xiao Zhen was just overthinking it. Although Medusa was no longer influenced by the red line and her favor towards Xiao Zhen might have declined, at least the two of them were husband and wife.

Medusa is not a casual person. Although she may feel a little regretful now, she has already taken action, and Her Majesty the Queen will never think that she has done anything wrong.

Besides, Xiao Zhen had good conditions. He was young and had good skills. He was also a young sixth-rank alchemist. From the perspective of his mate selection criteria, Medusa was quite satisfied.

In fact, Medusa also had some little ideas in her mind. That is, if she really broke through to the Dou Zong level, she would see if she could bring Die back. If those four old ladies dared to say anything more at that time, the worst that could happen was that she would just have a fight with them and then find a way to throw them all into jail.

As for Xiao Zhen, this cheap man, she had no intention of letting him go. She would just abduct him and treat him as a little man. After all, she was the queen and the other tribesmen did not dare to resist her.

Xiao Zhen didn't know that Her Majesty the Queen, who was talking and laughing beside him, actually had some hidden ulterior motives in her heart.
