Chapter 70 Transaction

At this moment, Medusa seemed to have lost her patience. Just as she was about to take it back to the Serpent People and then return here to search for the strange fire, a strange male voice sounded in the magma: "Queen Medusa, please don't embarrass Qinglin."

As soon as the words fell, a figure suddenly jumped out from the magma and finally landed in mid-air.

"Big brother." Seeing the familiar figure appear, Qing Lin could no longer control her tears from sliding down her eyes. She felt mixed emotions of joy and sorrow. She was happy that Xiao Se came out of the lava safely, but she was worried that Queen Medusa was right beside her.

Xiao Se nodded and gave her a reassuring look.

"The young man in a black robe with a strange purple sword in him." Looking at Xiao Se who suddenly appeared, Medusa was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. Through the description of her tribesman Yue'er, Medusa immediately recognized Xiao Se as the young man who rescued her four tribesmen based on his characteristics.

"Human, let me ask you, did you rescue a few snake girls more than half a month ago?" Medusa looked at Xiao Se and asked calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Se was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "That's right, Queen Medusa, the girl next to you is the one I rescued together with the four snake girls. I wonder if I can get her back to me. I will leave now and never set foot in the Tagor Desert again."

"Okay." To Xiao Se's surprise, Queen Medusa agreed immediately.

But Queen Medusa's next words made Xiao Se unable to laugh anymore, "Since you saved my people, you can take her away, but the strange fire must stay."

"Uh." Xiao Se pulled the corner of his mouth, his face darkened, and he smiled awkwardly: "Queen Medusa, you are joking. I don't have any strange fire."

"Human, don't challenge my patience. Although I don't know what you used, I know that you are now a peak Douhuang powerhouse. The outcome of the battle between the two sides is still unknown, but it seems that the girl next to me is very important to you, otherwise you would not show up on your initiative." Queen Medusa gently pressed Qinglin's shoulders and said impatiently.

"Hey, hey... As the queen of the snake people, you are too cunning. You use a little girl to threaten people." Xiao Se pulled the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but complain.

Under the red veil inlaid with gold, Medusa's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a charming arc, "As the queen of the snake people, cunning, that is only relative to you humans. I will count to three more times. If you don't hand over the strange fire, I will crush her to death directly."

"three"

"two"

"Wait." Xiao Se immediately raised his hand and called for a stop.

"Then hand over the strange fire." Queen Medusa stretched out her right hand and clenched her five fingers.

Looking at Medusa's aggressive look, Xiao Se's eyes turned, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he immediately became aware of it.

"If I give the strange fire to you, will you release Qinglin and let us leave?" Xiao Se looked at Queen Medusa.

"That's right," Medusa said seriously.

"Big brother, don't give the strange fire to her. You risked your life to get this. Qinglin is willing to sacrifice everything for you." Seeing that Xiao Se seemed to be planning to hand over the strange fire, Qinglin felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and a determination flashed in his green eyes. He said anxiously.

Xiao Se comforted him, "Qinglin, trust me, I won't let anything happen to you, stop talking nonsense."

As he spoke, Xiao Se's hand flashed with a faint light, and a green lotus pedestal appeared out of thin air in his hand. Above the green lotus pedestal, a ball of green flame rose. The three people present all had sharp perceptions. Just by standing there, they could feel the tremendous energy contained in the green flame.

"Give me the strange fire quickly." Seeing the strange fire suddenly appear in Xiao Se's hands, Queen Medusa's eyes lit up instantly and she waved.

Xiao Se shook his head, put the strange fire into the system warehouse again, and sighed: "You can see that the strange fire is indeed with me. Now I have stored it in a special space. No one can take it out except me."

"Say it one last time, hand over the strange fire?" Medusa frowned. If she hadn't been afraid of the strange aura emanating from Xiao Se, she would have snatched it away.

Xiao Se smiled awkwardly and said calmly, "I got this strange fire after going through so much trouble. What if the queen gets it and then abandons me? After all, I am a Douhuang. If I am threatened like this, I can't guarantee that you won't find ways to keep me here to eliminate the hidden dangers."

Hearing this, Medusa frowned, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "My words are always true. Hand over the strange fire and let you go. As long as you never set foot in the Tagor Desert again, then my snake people will never be your enemy."

"Haha, my Queen, you just said that cunning is only for us humans? How come you forgot it in the blink of an eye? What if you say again afterward, 'cunning is only for you humans', then where can Qinglin and I go to cry?" Xiao Se spread his hands and said helplessly.

"So what do you want?" Medusa said coldly.

Xiao Se smiled, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "In that case, let's be frank. I'm an alchemist, and I think you know the importance of strange fire to alchemists. Now both of us are determined to get the strange fire, and I have already got it. If you take it away, even if you return Qinglin to me, I will hate you snake people. Even though I saved a few snake girls in your tribe, it was because I didn't like the ugly behavior of human traffickers. I can't do anything to you afterward, but I can still hunt down a few of your tribesmen who are alone."

"You dare." Upon hearing this, Medusa became furious. Her sharp voice carried an unparalleled momentum as she rushed towards Xiao Se. Xiao Se waved his hand and easily defeated her.

"Haha, listen to me first! I have an idea that will kill two birds with one stone." Xiao Se waved his hand and laughed dryly.

"Speak." At this moment, Medusa's patience was almost reaching its limit.

Xiao Se chuckled and said, "Hehe, as far as I know, your snake race is of the Yin and cold nature, and the strange fire is not suitable for you. The reason why you try every means to get the strange fire is not to subdue it, but to use the special secret method of the snake race to advance to the Dou Zong level. The general process seems to be: temper the body with the strange fire, then use the power of thunder to separate from the original body, and then use the power of the soul to condense a real new body."

"So what?" When Medusa heard Xiao Se reveal the secret method of the snake people, a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she replied in a cold tone.

Xiao Se shook his head and said solemnly, "I want to make a deal with you. If you want to complete your evolution by swallowing the strange fire, it is no exaggeration to say that you are doomed. I am an alchemist and can refine a special fifth-grade elixir for you, called the Soul-Protecting Pill. This Soul-Protecting Pill has only one function, which is to protect the soul damaged by evolution. In other words, it can not only increase your chances of success in evolution, but even if the evolution fails, the soul will at most fall into a deep sleep due to excessive weakness, and will not die. As long as you get the elixir that can heal the damaged soul, you can recover as before."
