Chapter 172 Medusa in Danger as She Tempers Her Body with Different Flames
Throughout this process, Xiao Feng dared not be distracted in the slightest, keeping a close eye on the strange fire in front of him. He observed the changes in the purple giant python within the strange fire and continuously controlled its temperature, adjusting it to a suitable level.
Even so, Xiao Feng's actions had a negligible effect, almost negligible. This was because the combined power of the five different flames was simply too great; even with Xiao Feng's best efforts to control it, the giant purple python was no match for it.
Not long after, a series of hissing sounds emanated from the strange fire in front of them. Under Xiao Feng's gaze, the giant purple python within the strange fire was shrinking at a visible speed due to excessive blood loss and the constant burning of the strange fire. This was the cause of the hissing sound. One could imagine how terrifying and eerie the sound was! This scene was simply chilling!
Meanwhile, Medusa's pitiful screams continued unabated. To force such a proud and powerful queen of the snake-people to let out such a frantic and miserable scream, to drive her to this point...
It's hard to imagine the intense pain and torment Medusa is going through right now. Under the burning of this strange fire, it's no longer just physical pain, but has penetrated into her soul. It's a double pain and torment between body and soul!
Watching the giant purple python writhing and struggling before him, its massive body shrinking continuously, and hearing its painful, pitiful roars, Xiao Feng's heart pounded with unease. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he had no idea what was going on or what the final outcome would be.
Knowing that the woman in front of him was none other than the woman he admired, his future wife! How could he not be worried?
The risks involved were simply too great. Even though Xiao Feng knew that Medusa should have been able to survive this ordeal and complete her evolution according to the original trajectory, he was still very uneasy.
For no other reason than that his arrival has already changed far too many things, and now he is in a real, tangible world. Under these circumstances, who can guarantee that Medusa will continue to weather this calamity without incident and successfully evolve? Who can guarantee that Xiao Feng, this "butterfly," will not bring about any changes to Medusa's evolution?
No one can guarantee it, not even Xiao Feng!
It was precisely for this reason that when Xiao Feng returned to the Xiao Clan, he specifically instructed Yao Chen to refine many high-grade pills. He also specially refined an eighth-grade, three-colored pill specifically for Medusa, just in case, to save Medusa's life in a critical moment and increase her chances of success. This was also one of the most important reasons why he was so eager to return to the Xiao Clan in the first place.
But when he witnessed this scene, even though he already knew that Medusa had the eighth-grade pill he had given her and should be safe, he still couldn't help but feel worried.
However, Xiao Feng's worries were completely useless. He had no way to provide Medusa with any effective help. Now he could only place his hopes on Medusa and believe that she could succeed!
Under the burning of the strange fire, the purple python's body shrank continuously. From the surface, it looked as if all the water in its body had been evaporated, leaving only its huge skeleton and skin.
By this time, the aura of the giant purple python had gradually weakened, like a candle flickering in the wind, which might suddenly go out at any moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng realized that Medusa hadn't taken the pill he had given her yet. He was extremely anxious. If she didn't take the pill soon, Medusa might be burned alive by the strange fire! So, he couldn't help but shout, "Medusa, quickly take that pill!"
Xiao Feng didn't know if Medusa was still conscious, but it was the only thing he could do. Although he could immediately withdraw the strange fire and interrupt the secret technique, he wasn't sure what kind of damage doing so would cause Medusa. What if Medusa perished because of his rash actions?
Besides, with Xiao Feng's strength and influence, even if Medusa really failed and perished, as long as she left behind a trace of her soul, he would be able to resurrect her!
Therefore, Medusa is invincible. In that case, it's better to let her try her best. If she succeeds, everything will be fine, and Medusa's future will be limitless. If she fails, he can still revive Medusa. However, even if Xiao Feng uses the most advanced treasures to revive Medusa, her potential will still be limited, and she won't be able to truly possess the enormous potential that Medusa has evolved to the final stage.
Fortunately, Medusa has not yet truly fallen into chaos; she still retains a sliver of consciousness, though she is on the verge of losing it. She has completely forgotten that she still has a pill.
Just then, Xiao Feng's words jolted her awake, allowing her to regain some of her senses and successfully swallow the eighth-grade pill that she had already prepared in her mouth.
As Medusa swallowed the Grade 8 Tricolor Thunder Pill, an incredibly rich life force suddenly erupted from her body. The purple python recovered to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even became larger than before, with a brighter and more lustrous appearance.
The medicinal properties of the pill were not so simple. Soon, the purple python began to "expand," and its entire body grew from more than one zhang in thickness to three or four zhang in thickness. It was still "expanding." If this continued, Medusa would be burst by the medicinal properties of the pill and die without the use of a strange fire!
Fortunately, the surrounding strange fire did not stop burning the purple python, and Xiao Feng saw this and intentionally increased the power of the strange fire.
Soon, the purple python's body shrank once again under the burning of the strange fire. However, at this moment, the medicinal properties of the eighth-grade three-colored pill within its body were released once more, and the purple python's body quickly returned to its original shape, repeating this cycle repeatedly.
