Chapter 173 The Celestial Phenomenon Successfully Evolved
In fact, this process was not entirely a good thing for Medusa; on the contrary, it could be said to be a very bad thing, a terrible thing. Before, she had already lost her mind under the burning of the strange fire, and even her sense of pain and other sensations had almost disappeared. Although the strange fire around her was constantly burning her body, she had become accustomed to it or numb to it, and did not feel too much pain or too much torment.
However, after she took the pill, all her injuries, both physical and spiritual, were completely healed. Under these circumstances, her sense of pain naturally returned as well. The surrounding strange fire continued to burn her body, and her body was constantly recovering, causing the power of the strange fire to never decrease in the slightest, and even to increase somewhat. She had to endure the pain of being burned by the strange fire and suffer this inhuman torture!
This would be an extremely painful and cruel thing for Medusa, because for a period of time, she would be experiencing the pain of being tempered by the strange fire while remaining fully conscious! This is what torture is all about.
During this process, as the giant purple serpent in the sky kept spinning and tumbling, some of the strange fire flames fell to the ground, burning countless large and small pits on this small island. The island's surface was pitch black, and all the flowers and bamboo forests were burned to ashes by the strange fire. If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, probably no one would have imagined that this place, which looked like a battlefield left after a great battle, was a lush and beautiful place just a few hours ago.
This situation lasted for a full hour. The giant python in the air had endured the tempering of the strange fire for a full hour. After an hour, the painful roars of the purple giant python in the strange fire slowly dissipated, and its breathing became extremely weak. It seemed that it had exhausted its strength, and its huge body had stopped rolling.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng knew it was over and quickly withdrew the strange fire in front of him.
At this moment, the giant purple python, which had been floating in mid-air, seemed to lose its strength and support, and suddenly fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see that the once beautiful purple python, covered in scales, had turned completely charred black. Its body, which was over ten feet long, had shrunk to only three or four feet. It was hard to imagine how much blood and bones had been burned by the strange fire within that body.
Only a handful of people know about Medusa's combat techniques: besides Xiao Feng, there are only the four elders of the Snake-People Clan. Everyone else is completely unaware of it.
But for some reason, at this moment, all the snake people looked at the temple of their queen Medusa, and a sense of inexplicable sorrow rose from the bottom of their hearts, as if something bad was about to happen.
This change wasn't limited to the snake people; the four elders of the snake people clan also felt it. However, they knew best what Medusa was doing and the danger of the matter. Immediately, a bad premonition arose in their hearts, and they hurriedly rushed towards Medusa's temple.
On the ground, a large crater had been smashed into the area beneath the purple python, with the crater being several meters deep.
Looking at the charred giant python in the pit before him, a faint smell of burning emanated from it, causing Xiao Feng to frown slightly. All of this seemed to indicate that Medusa had perished! She had failed!
However, Xiao Feng's face did not show any sadness or grief; in fact, there was even a hint of joy and excitement. Why was that?
In fact, as soon as Xiao Feng withdrew the strange fire, he had already sensed that the charred, foul-smelling giant python corpse contained a powerful energy and extremely rich life force! All these signs indicated to Xiao Feng that Medusa had not failed, nor had she died; on the contrary, she had succeeded!
Therefore, he naturally felt no sadness, but rather joy and excitement.
Suddenly, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) began to surge violently. Xiao Feng, who had been observing for some time, did not panic at all. Instead of taking any measures to suppress it, he let it continue to develop.
Above the Temple of Medusa, above the entire town, the once clear sky suddenly darkened considerably. Looking up, one could see a dark cloud, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, slowly obscuring the sky.
Seeing this, the snake people in the town were overjoyed. This was the Tager Desert, where the fire elemental energy was extremely concentrated, resulting in a lack of rainfall and a severe shortage of water resources. This was a huge blow to the naturally cold and yin-like snake people.
But what did they see now? The sky before them was covered by a dark cloud, a sign that rain was about to fall. The Tagor Desert had not seen rain for three years, and now there were signs of rain, which was great news for them!
The snake people's faces lit up with joy, their excitement beyond words, and they ran around telling each other the news.
Thunder roared from within the dark clouds, and with a deafening boom, streaks of silver lightning flashed through them, like silver snakes weaving through the clouds.
Upon seeing this scene, the four elders who had rushed to wait outside the Medusa Temple exchanged glances, and their expressions suddenly relaxed considerably.
"I once saw an ancient book that recorded that when some legendary magical beasts were born or advanced in rank, they would usually cause various strange phenomena in the world due to the disharmony of the huge energy in their bodies. However, these legendary magical beasts were very powerful and were almost never seen in the Tagor Desert or even the entire Northwest Continent."
"Boss, do you mean Medusa succeeded? She really completed the secret technique and possesses a more powerful and noble bloodline?" the Third Elder asked.
"That's right, judging from the current situation, that should be the case." After saying that, the First Elder stared straight at the dark clouds in the sky, her cloudy eyes making it impossible to see what she was thinking.
Boom! Another deafening roar rang out, and a bolt of silver lightning struck downwards with lightning speed. Seeing this, Xiao Feng quickly withdrew the barrier he had previously set up, watching as the lightning struck the purple giant python, which had already turned into a dried-up corpse.
