Chapter 266 Bloodline Evolution

In the center of the cave, there is a small pool. The water surface is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the shimmering light from above. There are some strange herbs and minerals placed around the pool. The faint light they emit complements the waves in the pool, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

Queen Medusa pointed to a flat stone platform by the pool and said softly to Xiao Ling: "This is the place I prepared for the evolution of my bloodline. I have also arranged guards around the temple. No one will come in to disturb me. Waiting for you to cast the spell."

Xiao Ling glanced around the cave and nodded with satisfaction. He could clearly feel a special energy permeating the cave. This energy seemed to have a natural affinity with the snake people. It was undoubtedly the result of Medusa's careful arrangement. Such an environment is ideal for the upcoming bloodline evolution.

"Very good," Xiao Ling responded easily, his voice echoing in the cave, with a hint of seriousness about to begin, "Then let's get started, Medusa, are you ready?"

Queen Medusa took a deep breath, then nodded firmly, her eyes shining with determination: "I'm ready, Xiao Ling, let's get started."

Xiao Ling nodded and started taking action without saying anything else. He waved his palm lightly, and an invisible and colorless flame jumped 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 be alive. It danced in the cave and slightly distorted the surrounding space. The temperature rose sharply, as if even the air was trembling in the heat wave. The rocky floor in the cave began to be unable to 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 alien fires in this evolution ceremony. He knew in his heart that using those too 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 compared to those special fires used in combat, such as the Golden Emperor's Burning Sky Flame.

Moreover, 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 necessary energy, but also help her temper her body and lay a better foundation for future practice. Xiao Ling believes that after undergoing the baptism of the Fallen Heart Flame, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for Medusa.

Although the Fallen Heart Flame is invisible and colorless, for a strong person like Medusa, she can sense the existence of the flame, like a transparent ball of light leaping in the air. She stared at Fallen Heart Flame, the determined light in her eyes getting brighter. She took a deep breath and prepared to activate the secret technique to start the process of bloodline evolution.

But at this moment, Xiao Ling's voice suddenly sounded, with 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 this. It’s a small knot, but those clothes can’t withstand the high temperature of the unusual fire, so don’t burn them out by then.”

Medusa turned her head and met Xiao Ling's eyes. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes at first, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of understanding. She could guess that Xiao Ling was using humor to relieve her tension and make her feel more relaxed. The corners of her mouth raised slightly and she nodded slightly, indicating that she had understood his kindness.

But Queen Medusa quickly came to her senses and muttered to herself: This Xiao Ling must not have had a good idea and must be trying to take advantage of me. She stared at Xiao Ling with wide eyes, biting her bright red lips gently with her teeth, as if she was trying to suppress the emotions in her heart. She deliberately kept a straight face and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You guy, you really got an advantage this time."

Although there was some reproach in her words, the inadvertent smile on Medusa's lips revealed that she was not really angry. This small movement did not escape Xiao Ling's eyes. He caught it and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

As Medusa's soft words echoed in the cave, her fingers deftly slid through the buttons of the brocade robe and slowly untied them. As the buttons were loosened one by one, her brocade robe gradually slipped off, revealing her perfect figure like a work of art. Under the illumination of the pure white moonstone, her skin was like the most exquisite white jade, exuding a warm and soft light.

In such a mysterious and quiet environment, the beauty of Medusa is particularly prominent. Her body curves are smooth and attractive, and every subtle movement reveals a natural charm. Her beauty is not only about appearance, but also the revelation of inner temperament. Against the backdrop of white light, her face looks even more enchanting and charming, as if she possesses a charm that can captivate people.

Her neck is long and fair, showing an elegant curve. As the eyes move downward, her plump and perky breasts are round and full of elasticity, which makes people admire the miraculous workmanship of nature.

Under the blazing heat in the cave, a crystal drop of sweat slipped from her elegant neck and rolled slowly along the curve of her body. It deftly crossed her plump breasts, leaving a shining trail, and finally dripped to the ground under the influence of gravity. There was a "tick" sound, as if drops of sweat fell on the tip of Xiao Ling's heart.

Her slender waist seemed to be completely held by one hand, but under that slightly thin appearance, there was an indescribable flexibility. Her lower abdomen was flat and tight, without a trace of excess fat, which made people want to reach out and touch it to feel the elasticity and temperature.

Under Medusa's waist, which could be grasped with one hand, extended a pair of amazing long legs, which were tight and powerful, as if they were masterpieces carefully carved by nature. Her legs were smooth, and her muscles showed health and vitality just right, without a trace of excess fat, but not too skinny.

In the dim light in the cave, Medusa's legs seemed to be endowed with a mysterious charm, and they looked even more attractive in the interweaving of light and shadow. Whenever she moved gently, the muscles of her legs slid subtly under her skin, as if telling the perfect balance of strength and elegance.

Medusa's legs not only gave people a beautiful enjoyment visually, but also exuded an irresistible temptation invisibly. They seemed to invite people's eyes to follow her every graceful step and explore every corner she walked through.

Facing the graceful figure of Medusa in front of him, even a person like Xiao Ling who had experienced many ups and downs could not help but feel dry mouth. He quickly shifted his sight and sighed silently in his heart.

"It is said that the Medusa of the snake people is born with an irresistible charm. Now it seems that this rumor is not false at all." Xiao Ling thought secretly in his heart, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "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 really be 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 eyes 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 a light mixed with expectation and determination flashed in her eyes.

Medusa bit her red lips lightly, her voice was low and full of power, as if announcing her determination to the whole world: "This is a critical moment, all the Queens of Medusa, please give me your blessing. I must succeed, for the future of the snake people, for our former glory."

After Queen Medusa finished speaking, she raised her hand lightly and gently pulled off the purple hairband tied on her black hair. As the hairband slipped off, her long black and shiny hair cascaded down like a waterfall, straight down to her slender waist.

She shook her head slightly, letting the soft hair flutter lightly in the air. This unintentional action made her look more charming and attractive, like a fairy who walked out of a painting, with a kind of otherworldly beauty.

The breeze in the cave seemed to be attracted by her beauty, gently blowing her hair, 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 closed her hands in front of her chest, her eyes gently closed, and she began to concentrate on performing the secret method of evolving blood. 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 increased and became more and more obvious. Soon, this fluctuation became so strong that a huge energy vortex formed in the cave. This vortex slowly rotated, constantly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth around it, 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 cover, wrapping her tightly inside, and her figure looked 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 locked on Queen Medusa. He could feel the flow and change of energy in the cave. He knew that this was a critical moment, and any external interference might affect the process of evolution. Therefore, he remained highly vigilant and 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 low and powerful roar broke out from the light. It had 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 directly at. 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 purple snake's body lines were smooth and powerful, and every movement of it revealed an indescribable elegance. The pair of lavender pupils were deep and peaceful, as if they could see through all the noise in the world, maintaining a transcendent indifference.

Xiao Ling is not unfamiliar with this giant snake. It is a relatively rare magical beast, named Purple Nether Flame Snake, and it is also the magical body of Medusa. This magical beast is not only huge in size, but also has an awe-inspiring noble temperament. It is said that the blood of the ancient beast Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python flows in the body of the Purple Nether Flame Snake, which is an extremely rare and powerful genetic bloodline.

If the conditions are right and the opportunity is coincidental, the Purple Nether Flame Snake may activate the thin ancient bloodline in its body and achieve amazing evolution, thus returning to the glory of their ancient ancestors. This potential makes the Purple Nether Flame Snake highly respected among snake-like magical beasts, but the Purple Nether Flame Snake that can break through the shackles of blood and evolve into a Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python has not appeared for a long time.

In the cave, the existence of the purple giant snake makes the surrounding air seem more mysterious. Its huge body slowly swims in the air, and the purple scales shimmer with a faint luster in the weak light, as if each scale contains gorgeous power.

Xiao Ling stared at the purple giant python in front of him, thinking in his heart. This time, I wonder if Medusa can successfully awaken the blood of the seven-colored swallowing python as described in the original book.

In the original book, Medusa completed the blood awakening when she reached the Douhuang level, and now she has been promoted to Douzong, so it should be smoother. What's more, I am still escorting her, at least Medusa's life safety is guaranteed.

When Xiao Ling was immersed in his thoughts, in the sky, the huge purple snake suddenly made a crisp and low moan after circling for a few times, and then swooped down towards the invisible and colorless flame without hesitation.

Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on Medusa, and she saw that she had no hesitation, as if she was pulled by some mysterious force, and bravely rushed towards the seemingly calm but infinitely energetic flame. 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, and it seemed that even time was 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, carrying 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 no longer rippled. The whole world seemed to be still at this moment, just to listen to the wailing from the depths of the flame.

Xiao Ling's eyes were fixed on the invisible and colorless flame in the air. He saw the huge purple snake rolling wildly in the flame. Its body was twisted under the scorching flame, 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 by the flames, floating in the air one by one, and then slowly falling to the ground, leaving black tracks.

As the snake scales fell off, scarlet wounds appeared on the purple snake's body, and blood gushed out of them. However, after these fresh blood came into contact with the high temperature of the strange fire, they were instantly evaporated, turning into wisps of blood-colored smoke and dissipating in the air. Therefore, 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 ghost fire snake in the strange fire. Through the invisible and colorless Falling Heart Flame, it can be clearly seen that due to the rapid loss of blood, the originally huge body of the purple ghost fire snake is gradually shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and each contraction seems to tell the severe pain that Medusa is suffering at this time.

Queen Medusa's transformation process was undoubtedly an extremely harsh test. The pain it brought was unimaginable to ordinary people, enough to make most people faint in severe pain. However, Medusa not only endured all this, 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 in this time and complete the evolution." He noticed that the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame was rapidly consumed. 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 injection of fighting spirit, 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 fighting spirit had established a subtle connection with the flame, as if he was bearing the hardships of this transformation together 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.
