Chapter 169 Solo Dance Under the Moon: Reaping the Rewards
In the temple of the snake people,
Lin Dong remained hidden in the darkness, his gaze fixed on Queen Medusa on the throne.
Elegant and luxurious, beautiful and alluring.
"So it really was a fake body..."
Without disturbing the figure, he drifted out of the Snake-Man Temple under the moonlight.
After leaving the Snake-Man Temple, Lin Dong floated towards the back of the temple.
The fortress was mostly patrolling, but Lin Dong, hidden in the darkness, didn't reveal even a trace of his presence, so the snake-man guards naturally couldn't detect him.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Lin Dong continued forward, winding around several paths until his view suddenly opened up, revealing a lake shimmering in the moonlight.
In the center of the lake, there is a small island, surrounded by rippling water that seems to protect it.
Above the lake, energy surged, and there was a special anti-flight formation. If an ordinary person tried to fly across this lake, they would inevitably be suppressed by this formation and pulled into the lake below.
In the lake, Lin Dong saw several ferocious giant snakes slithering about, their mouths opening and closing, dripping foul-smelling purple venom that floated in the water.
This kind of layout is enough to deter most people.
However, Lin Dong was not worried at all. The Dark Ancestral Symbol had the ability to control darkness, and he was one with darkness.
As the surrounding night deepened, Lin Dong floated over the lake, but the anti-air formation showed no reaction whatsoever.
The giant snakes slithering below showed no abnormalities.
And so, he easily crossed the dangerous lake and arrived at the island.
The island is not very large, but it is covered with lush bamboo groves and flowers, making it look vibrant and beautiful.
"A familiar aura...it really is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!"
A strange light flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. He sensed a wisp of aura in the air that was of the same origin as the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire Lotus Platform!
The source of this aura lies deep within this small island.
Without further hesitation, Lin Dong followed the aura deeper into the island. After turning the corners of several narrow paths, the view gradually opened up.
In the center of the island is an open area, surrounded by bamboo groves and flowerbeds, all neatly cleared. Small, smooth pebbles are scattered throughout, creating a small pool in the open space.
The small pool contained crystal-clear liquid. Even from a great distance, the extreme cold contained within the liquid had already spread, affecting Lin Dong, who was in the darkness.
Extremely Cold Spirit Liquid is a top-tier treasure capable of neutralizing and temporarily suppressing strange flames. Even a small bottle is enough to incite many powerful individuals to fight each other.
However, there is quite a small pond here.
"Medusa really went all out to absorb this strange flame!"
He murmured something to himself, then looked into the distance and saw a lotus pedestal carved from strange crystal in the center of the small pond.
At this moment, a ball of blue flame was slowly rising on the lotus seat.
"Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!"
The azure flame was extremely spiritual. As it churned slightly, it would sometimes condense into the shape of a lotus flower, and sometimes into a small azure flame snake, floating and coiling in the lotus seat.
However, at this moment, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was bound by the light shield released by the crystal lotus platform, imprisoning it within the lotus platform.
Looking to the side following the flames, a beautiful face, almost bewitching, came into view.
Looking at the figure, Lin Dong knew in his heart that this was the true form of Queen Medusa.
Now that the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame has appeared, he is no longer in a hurry.
Judging from Queen Medusa's appearance, she is preparing to evolve using the strange fire.
Queen Medusa originally didn't choose to evolve now; perhaps the whirlwind stirred up by the butterfly that altered the plot made her choose to accelerate the process.
Lin Dong knew that Medusa's evolution, even in the original storyline, couldn't be considered successful. Now, with the timeline so far ahead, her success rate wouldn't increase much.
He was no longer in a hurry to seize the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. This kind of evolutionary scenario was not something that could be encountered easily.
Lin Dong simply found a spot with an excellent view, blended himself into the darkness, and carefully examined the situation before him.
Queen Medusa at this moment was no different from the imposter she had seen in the Serpent God Temple. A luxurious and expensive purple brocade robe wrapped her graceful body, and her voluptuous and fiery figure exuded a bewitching allure.
Her long, narrow, pale purple eyes seemed to hold endless, shimmering light, and her gaze was naturally captivating.
Beneath the purple brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail peeked out, lazily swaying and exuding wildness and exotic charm.
At this moment, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the blue flame in the small pool. Under the reflection of the light, the light of the blue flame was reflected in her eyes.
Queen Medusa suddenly sighed softly, looked up at the sky, and gently swayed her serpentine tail as her fiery, alluring body slowly rose to her feet.
"It's time..." Queen Medusa murmured softly, a rare hesitation flashing across her alluring face. In an instant, the hesitation turned into determination, and beneath her purple brocade robe, two snow-white jade wrists were revealed, her soft hands slowly forming several hand seals in front of her.
As Queen Medusa's hand seals changed, the crystal lotus throne suddenly trembled violently, and the light screen on it gradually disappeared.
After the light barrier dissipated, the unrestrained azure flames surged against the wind, transforming into a raging inferno that burst forth.
Under the blazing blue flames, the extremely cold spiritual liquid in the small pool evaporated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ignoring the rapidly withering bamboo from the smoky heat, Queen Medusa gently bit her red lips and slowly unbuttoned her brocade robe with her jade-like hands…
A perfectly formed, exquisite body, a masterpiece of nature, was thus laid bare in the bamboo forest...
In the lush bamboo forest, a perfectly voluptuous body, as white as jade, exudes an irresistible allure that makes one's mouth dry.
Her beautiful face inadvertently revealed a bewitching gaze, like that of a fairy, and her long, fair neck showed a graceful curve.
Her slender waist seemed too delicate to be grasped in one hand, yet her slight thinness revealed a sense of suppleness. Her flat and tender abdomen had not an ounce of excess fat, and at first glance, one couldn't help but feel an urge to reach out and touch it.
Beneath that slender form lies a wild, purple snake tail, swaying slightly, exuding an unusual charm that blossoms in the darkness.
Hidden in the darkness, Lin Dong stared intently at the scene before him.
The snake-man evolves, the queen dances.
He'd never seen anything like it before, so he had to study it carefully!
After being exposed to the wind and sun in the Tagor Desert for so long, can't we at least enjoy ourselves?
Although Lin Dong had expected this, he was still greatly impressed when he saw this scene.
"The moon is so white tonight!"
With a soft murmur, Lin Dong found a comfortable position and continued watching the Snake Queen's dance of evolution.
Moonlight spilled onto the island, and the beautiful figure at its center began to dance slowly in the moonlight.
The world lost its color, and the moonlight seemed to drape that exquisite figure in a moonlit robe.
The flames in the air grew even more intense, and suddenly, Queen Medusa transformed into a giant purple serpent several tens of feet long and soared into the sky!
The purple serpent danced in the air, and in the next moment, it headed straight for the blue flames.
She rushed into the flames, and her piercing screams immediately echoed across the island.
Even Lin Dong, who was in the darkness, felt a sense of admiration when he saw this scene.
This female snake is ruthless!
Using physical strength, they forcefully confront the strange fire, thereby evolving.
If there is even the slightest mistake during the process, or if one cannot withstand the intense heat of the strange fire, one will be instantly burned into a pile of ashes and completely vanish into thin air!
However, Queen Medusa did not hesitate at all, forcibly enduring the pain of her body being burned, and began this path of evolution.
Lin Dong observed carefully; within the cyan flames, the purple serpent was struggling and twisting its body frantically.
Even though it was already close to its limit, it showed no intention of leaving the area engulfed by the flames.
He clearly saw that shortly after the purple snake entered the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, its body began to twist rapidly and was directly burned black by the strange fire. Some purple snake scales even fell off the snake's body!
Even Lin Dong, who was in the darkness, felt a deep sense of respect upon hearing that mournful cry.
The giant snake was still writhing in the flames, but the charred remains on its body became increasingly noticeable.
After a moment, the entire purple snake looked as if it had turned into a long, charred piece of charcoal.
"boom!!"
Suddenly, the giant snake fell from the black flames and crashed heavily onto the pebbled path below, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame continued to rise and dance in the air, while the charred serpent below remained completely still.
Lin Dong looked up at the sky as he watched this scene.
The once full moon had been shrouded in dark clouds, with streaks of lightning crackling within them.
"boom!!"
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, hitting the charred black snake below.
As the crackling sound rang out, Lin Dong sensed a new aura slowly brewing within the charred remains.
Lightning flashed, and bolts of thunder struck relentlessly, bombarding the charred serpent.
However, the new life force within the giant snake grew stronger and stronger.
That life force seemed to be absorbing the power of the charred serpent and the thunder, thereby giving birth to new life.
This scene amazed Lin Dong.
Finally, the thunder stopped, and the dark clouds that had shrouded the full moon dissipated.
The moonlight, as soft as gauze and as clear as water, once again enveloped the earth and fell upon the charred serpent.
Having withstood several thunderbolts, the giant snake was now covered in wounds. Upon closer inspection, the wounds had split open, revealing the flesh and blood beneath.
The flesh and blood were also charred black, devoid of any life force or energy, as if they were just empty shells.
"Click click click!!"
A strange sound came from the giant snake, and a small figure darted out from the charred snake, darting swiftly through the air.
At this point, Lin Dong stopped concealing himself and emerged from the darkness.
He knew that Queen Medusa's evolution had been achieved in an unconventional and damaging way.
The final result of the evolution was that Queen Medusa abandoned her original body, evolved her soul, and activated the trace of ancient bloodline in her body, which condensed into the body of the seven-colored snake in front of her!
"Just like in the story..."
The creature that appeared in front of Lin Dong was a small snake that was only about two centimeters long.
Its entire body was covered with tiny, multicolored scales, and it had pale purple snake eyes, giving it a faintly eerie feel. A strange, refreshing fragrance lingered around its body.
It was clearly a small snake, yet it exuded an air of elegance and nobility.
The seven-colored snake didn't have many sharp attack parts, but Lin Dong sensed that its small body contained extremely terrifying energy, indicating that it had already entered the Dou Zong level.
The moment Lin Dong appeared, the little snake appeared in front of him.
The man and the snake stared at each other. Lin Dong looked into its pale purple pupils and found no trace of killing intent or anything unusual. On the contrary, it looked extremely pure and clean.
Lin Dong stroked his chin, "Its body is seven-colored, its power is heaven-reaching, it has truly become the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python..."
The seven-colored snake flicked its tongue, its snake eyes fixed on Lin Dong. The pure color in its eyes was completely different from the alluring and seductive snake queen who danced alone under the moon.
He took out a precious herb from his storage ring and handed it to the little snake.
The little seven-colored snake's eyes suddenly lit up, and it opened its mouth wide, swallowing the entire precious herb. It smacked its lips, its eyes revealing a human-like joy.
Lin Dong opened his palm in front of the little snake. As if it had come to life, the seven-colored snake suddenly fell into his hand and coiled up, resembling a string of seven-colored bracelets, a beautiful sight.
"The little guy is quite smart."
He was overjoyed and placed the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python into his waist pouch.
The Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python has immense potential, and with his current resources, he can quickly cultivate it, which would be a great help.
Although he didn't care about the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python's combat power with his current strength, he was still pleased to have a beautiful snake as a pet.
Thinking of that scene of dancing alone under the moon, Lin Dong stroked his chin and murmured, "Brother Huo Huo, don't blame me, this is just how things are!"
He looked up at the moon overhead, its round light illuminating the entire island.
The ripples on the surrounding lakes were like twinkling starlight, exceptionally dazzling.
After some mental calculation, Lin Dong suddenly remembered that this date was the Mid-Autumn Festival in Ye Ming's original world.
Mid-Autumn Festival...
Lin Dong took out the lotus platform of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame from his storage ring, and with a wave of his hand, he put the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, which was still floating in the air, into the lotus platform.
A look of joy spread across his face. "I've captured the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, and I've also obtained the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. This Mid-Autumn Festival is truly an auspicious day."
"It's time to go find Xu Qi'an and the others..."
Lin Dong glanced at the numerous flames appearing in the distant fortress and knew that the Snake-People had heard about the anomaly and were rushing here.
Having now abducted the snake-people queen, he had no desire to encounter these snake-people again. With a swift movement, he merged into the darkness and drifted away into the distance.
Having acquired the valuable treasures in the Tagor Desert, there's no need to linger any longer.
The battle raged on at Canaan Academy, with some people nearly fighting to the death. He wasn't about to miss out on this spectacle.
The wind howled, the lake water surged, but the island was deserted. (End of Chapter)
