Although Queen Medusa has never left the Northwest Continent, she still knows some areas of Zhongzhou, especially the Dan Region in the central area of Zhongzhou, which is even more well-known!
One Hall, One Pagoda, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Square Pavilions
This was a top-tier faction on the continent, deeply rooted in people's minds for centuries. While the Serpent People tribe in the Tagor Desert might appear insignificant today, their heritage was incredibly ancient, dating back to the ancient times when humans and Serpent People battled for supremacy on the continent.
Unfortunately, the battle for world dominance ended with the victory of the human race, and the snake people had to retreat to a corner. In the end, they could only survive in the center of the desert, a harsh and remote place with few people.
Of course, Ye Chen, who had read the original novel, also knew that there was another snake tribe in the Beast Domain. Moreover, because they were sheltered under the Nine Netherworld Python, one of the three major families of Warcraft, the strength of that snake tribe was obviously much stronger than their counterparts in the Tagor Desert!
Inside the solemn Snakeman Temple, Queen Medusa, dressed in a purple robe and wearing a crown, sat on the throne, and below her were the eight aggressive tribal leaders.
Even among the Serpent People, it had been many years since the eight leaders gathered in the Holy City. The last time there was such a big fight was because of the war with the Gama Empire...
You know, although the Snake People have only one Dou Huang strongman, Queen Medusa, among the remaining eight leaders, only three of them, if combined with the secret method of the Snake People, can have the strength to fight the Dou Huang. Therefore, in today's Gama Empire, there is no existence that is worthy of the eight leaders to attack at the same time.
Everything was because of these two humans in the temple...
Thinking of this, the eight leaders couldn't help but look at the two humans opposite them.
"Mr. Ye, let's not talk about your purpose in coming to me this time. Your act of forcibly entering my clan is extremely rude. I think Mr. Ye, who is of noble birth, will not deny this, right?"
Queen Medusa's charming yet noble voice rang out, and every syllable seemed to exude endless temptation.
Looking at Ye Chen who nodded with a polite smile, Queen Medusa's eyes flashed with cunning, and she said softly: "In this case, Master Ye, as a noble alchemist, I think you wouldn't mind giving me a small gift as an apology for my recklessness..."
Hearing this, Ye Chen finally couldn't help laughing out loud. He didn't expect that Queen Medusa was not as arrogant and cold as she appeared.
In other words, even someone as proud as Queen Medusa had to humble herself in front of a high-level alchemist.
There was no other way. The Serpent People weren't good at refining pills. Even if they had a lot of precious collections, if they couldn't make pills, they would just sit there and rot...
With a light touch on the ring on his left hand, a white jade medicine bottle appeared in Ye Chen's hand. With a flick of his finger, the medicine bottle flew directly towards Queen Medusa.
When it was about to reach the queen, the medicine bottle seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, and it moved sideways and gently fell into the fair jade hand of Queen Medusa.
"The Queen is right. Ye Chen was indeed reckless this time. Consider these three fifth-grade Qingyuan Pills as an apology..."
Looking at the medicine bottle in her hand, even Queen Medusa couldn't help but brighten her eyes.
She had heard of the Qingyuan Pill. It was a kind of pill that could assist Douhuang-level cultivation. Although it could not directly increase the star level of Douhuang powerhouses like the Huangji Pill, it was also effective in accelerating cultivation. It was a very good fifth-grade pill.
"Hehe, Mr. Ye is indeed a pharmacist from Zhongzhou. He is really generous." Queen Medusa smiled softly, covering her red lips with her jade hand. Blinking her long eyelashes, she chuckled and said, "Well, Mr. Ye, now we can talk about why you went to such great lengths to come to my Serpent People to see me?"
Know when to quit, it is obvious that Queen Medusa is very good at this.
Of course, Ye Chen didn't care about three fifth-grade pills. For him now, as long as he had the medicinal materials, he could refine as many of these pills as he wanted.
"I came to the Tagor Desert this time because I received news that there is a strange fire deep in the desert, so I want to ask the snake people to help find it. Of course, whether I can find it this time or not, I will give you a sixth-grade elixir as a reward..."
Ye Chen directly stated the reason he had already thought of.
"Strange fire?" Queen Medusa's expression changed slightly when she heard Ye Chen's words.
She hadn't expected that the other party would actually be planning to take advantage of the strange fire...
But this made sense. After all, they had come all the way from Zhongzhou to this desolate northwest continent. If it weren't for something as precious as the Strange Fire, which was invaluable to alchemists, no one would have been willing to waste their time...
However, Queen Medusa was also searching for the strange fire in the desert, and had been searching for it for many years.
From the pool of ice spring prepared by the snake people in the original work, it can be seen that Queen Medusa had been preparing for her own evolution a long time ago.
However, firstly, the location of the strange fire has not yet been determined, and secondly, this evolution process is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you may burn yourself. Therefore, it has been postponed for several years...
There was a slight struggle in Queen Medusa's eyes, and she was hesitant about whether to agree to the other party's request.
It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with the sixth-grade elixir, but she was worried that if she refused, would they find the strange fire themselves? Or, even if they couldn't find it, if she used the strange fire to evolve in the future, the noise would be so loud that if they were attracted, how would she deal with it then?
Her eyes swept over Hu Tian's body, and the other party's Dou Zong cultivation level was clearly visible. Even if Queen Medusa was confident in her own strength, facing a real Dou Zong, she could only protect herself at most.
By then, with the power of the snake people, they will definitely not be able to stop the two opponents.
Besides, there are also powerful people from the nearby Gama Empire...
Seeing Queen Medusa's expression, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. After a moment, he looked at her with a look of sudden realization and said, "Your Majesty is so embarrassed. Is it because Your Majesty is also interested in the strange fire?"
Queen Medusa's eyes flashed, and her expression suddenly became solemn. She hadn't expected that the other party's observation skills were so sharp that they could see through her thoughts.
However, Ye Chen didn't seem to be ready to stop there. He pondered for a moment and continued, "I once read in an ancient book about the secrets of the Snake Queen..."
It is said that when Queen Medusa reaches the peak of Douhuang, if the opportunity is sufficient, she will be able to undergo a strange evolution. After the evolution, Queen Medusa will not only be able to freely transform into a human body, but her strength will also be promoted to Douzong powerhouse as if it is a natural process.
However, the success rate of this kind of evolution seems to be quite low, and... most importantly, the thing required for this kind of evolution is the strange fire..."
