Chapter 129 The Strange Fire Is Obtained! (7,000 Words Long Chapter) (1/2)
Chapter 129 The Strange Fire is in hand! (7,000 words)
"I only want the Strange Fire."
"As long as you hand over the Strange Fire, I will naturally not harm your people."
On the Red Flame Demon Dragon, Gu He looked at Queen Medusa and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Queen Medusa fell silent, looking at the four elders who had fallen into a coma under the city wall, with a complex look in her beautiful eyes.
If she had known that she would end up in this situation, she might as well hand over the Strange Fire honestly.
In that case, at least she could get a Dou Zong Pill and a Transformation Pill.
But now, the four elders are seriously injured and dying, and many people in the tribe have also suffered heavy casualties.
The Strange Fire still has to be handed over obediently.
It's really a loss of both the wife and the army!
Thinking of this, Queen Medusa showed a bitterness at the corner of her mouth.
"Yue Mei, Mobas, you take good care of the four elders." Queen Medusa turned and looked at Yue Mei and Mobas, the two leaders of the Snake People.
Upon hearing this, Yue Mei and Mobas looked solemn. Looking at the pale Queen Medusa, a trace of sadness flashed in their eyes, and then they bowed and said, "We will obey the Queen's order."
The next moment, two figures fell from the city wall and brought the four elders who were in a coma and whose life and death were unknown into the Medusa Temple.
"Sir, please follow me!"
Queen Medusa glanced at Gu He, and then her figure soared into the air and headed towards the Medusa Temple.
Looking at the direction where Queen Medusa disappeared, Gu He asked the Red Flame Demon Dragon to stay where it was, and then his figure flashed and caught up with Queen Medusa.
A moment later, a clear lake appeared in Gu He's sight.
In the middle of the lake, there was a small island, surrounded by rippling water, and there was no bridge leading to it.
Queen Medusa stopped in front of the lake, waiting for Gu He to arrive.
Gu He's mind moved, and he sensed that there was a layer of restriction on the lake.
When Gu He arrived, Queen Medusa made several hand seals and blasted the restriction on the lake, and a gap was immediately opened in the restriction.
"Sir, please follow me."
Queen Medusa looked back at Gu He, left a cold word, and went to the gap.
Gu He hesitated for a moment, and his figure followed into the gap.
A moment later, the figures of Queen Medusa and Gu He slowly landed on the island in the center of the lake.
Gu He turned around and looked at the island. The island was not very large, and there were lush bamboo forests and some flowers and plants planted everywhere, which looked lively and beautiful.
"The breath of strange fire..."
The moment he stepped into the island, Gu He's expression moved slightly, and he sensed a familiar breath.
This is the power fluctuation of the strange fire...
It seems that Queen Medusa hid the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire on this island.
Walking on the path in the bamboo forest, the atmosphere was quiet. Except for the extremely small sound of Gu He and Queen Medusa's footsteps falling on the grass leaves, there was no other sound.
In fact, even without Queen Medusa's guidance, Gu He could still find the most correct path with the faint smell of strange fire in the air.
He turned around the end of several paths slowly, and his sight gradually became clear. At the moment he turned around the path, Gu He's body suddenly stopped, and his sight focused on an open area in the center of the island.
This is a circular open area. The surrounding bamboos and flowers have been cleaned up. Small and smooth stones are scattered in it. The stones are sunken into a small pool in the open area. The small pool is filled with crystal clear water. On the surface of the water, white mist is lingering. Even if they are far apart, Gu He can still feel the extremely cold temperature contained in it.
"Ice Spirit Cold Spring..."
Staring at the crystal water, Gu He took a deep breath in his heart after a while. The water in the pool in front of him was actually all Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
Ice Spirit Cold Spring is extremely useful for refining strange fire.
Gu He will give strange fire to his disciples in the future, so this Ice Spirit Cold Spring is naturally indispensable.
This kind of strange thing can only appear in extremely cold or extremely hot places. It is extremely rare and precious.
Gu He remembered that in the original work, Xiao Yan took great pains to get a small bottle of Ice Spirit Cold Spring from Gu Te.
But here, it actually filled a small pool.
Tsk tsk...
Queen Medusa's hand is so big that it is a bit scary.
After watching for a while, the shock in Gu He's heart slowly subsided, and his eyes gradually moved, and finally stopped at a lotus seat carved out of strange crystals in the center of the small pool.
At this time, on the lotus seat, a ball of blue flame was slowly rising.
Looking at this ball of blue flame, Gu He's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip. This ball of blue flame was very spiritual. When it was slightly tumbling, it sometimes condensed into the shape of a lotus, and sometimes condensed into a small blue flame snake, floating and hovering in the lotus seat. It looked docile and very cute.
"Finally found you!"
Although he had never seen what the blue lotus earth core fire looked like, he, who also controlled the strange fire, could faintly feel a familiar feeling from the blue flame that was the same as his own divine fire.
And the crystal lotus pedestal that enveloped the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was obviously not an ordinary thing.
Every time the Azure flame was about to swim out of the range of the lotus pedestal, a circle of faint white light shield would suddenly emerge, and then bounce the strange fire back.
Looking carefully across the pool, Gu He discovered that every time the strange fire came into contact with the light shield, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in the pool would be imperceptibly reduced a little.
Obviously, the crystal lotus pedestal should have relied on the power of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to trap the Azure flame in it.
After scanning the small pool, Gu He's sight moved to the left.
Suddenly, the beautiful face of Queen Medusa, which was almost enchanting, was imprinted in Gu He's eyes.
Looking at Queen Medusa from a close distance, Gu He couldn't help but show a look of amazement in his eyes again.
A set of luxurious and expensive purple brocade robes wrapped her graceful body. Her plump and fiery figure released enchanting temptations. A pair of narrow and long lavender eyes, with natural charm, could almost attract every man's attention.
Under the purple brocade robe, a purple snake tail was exposed, lazily sweeping, releasing wildness and strange style.
At this moment, Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes were staring at the cyan flames in the small pool. Under the reflection of the light, the arc of the flames was also jumping in her lavender eyes.
After staring at the cyan flames for a long time, Queen Medusa suddenly sighed softly.
"It's really a failure..."
After a low murmur, a complex look flashed across Queen Medusa's enchanting cheeks. After a moment, hesitation turned into determination. Under the purple brocade robe, two snow-white wrists were exposed, and her slender hands slowly formed a few seals in front of her body.
As the seals in Queen Medusa's hands changed, the crystal lotus seat suddenly trembled violently, and the light curtain on it gradually disappeared. When the light curtain disappeared, the blue flame that had lost its restraint suddenly rushed out. Seeing the storm rising, it turned into a raging fire in just a blink of an eye.
"Sir, the strange fire is here, please!"
After doing all this, Queen Medusa looked at Gu He beside her, and a cold voice sounded.
Looking at the blue lotus earth core fire that lost its restraint and became violent, Gu He frowned and looked at Queen Medusa deeply.
It would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to collect the violent strange fire.
He knew in his heart that this was the other party venting his dissatisfaction.
However, Gu He could also understand her feelings.
The strange fire that he had worked so hard to obtain was now handed over to others. If he asked himself, if it was Gu He himself, he would also feel extremely aggrieved.
For this, Gu He also felt a little sorry.
However, the strange fire is too important to him.
If you want to blame someone, blame the snake people for their weak strength.
In this world, the strong are respected.
If Gu He was weak at this moment, he would not dare to expose the strange fire in his body, and he would not even dare to set foot in the Tagor Desert.
In this world, strength is the key.
Although Gu He was a little dissatisfied with Queen Medusa's behavior of removing the ban, he did not say anything.
With his current strength and means, it is not difficult to subdue a strange fire.
After all, compared with other strange fires, the power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is not very terrifying.
With a thought, Gu He slowly stepped forward, and then his figure flashed and came directly to the top of the pool, staring at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire below that was in a rage.
When the strange fire is in a rage, it will burn everything close to it into nothingness, including energy. Except for some special things, it can only be forcibly wrapped with endless energy and then taken away.
Gu He guessed that Queen Medusa must have used this method to take the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire out of the magma.
However, with her strength, it is estimated that she also suffered a lot before she succeeded, which can be seen from the colorful scales that fell from the magma world.
However, this method consumes too much energy.
With Gu He's current Dou Zong realm, he can barely suppress the strange fire.
With a thought, Gu He gathered the Dou Qi in his body, and then a powerful Dou Qi energy condensed into a huge claw mark from the deep right hand, covering the violent Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire below.
Feeling the crisis, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, which has awakened its spiritual wisdom, became more and more violent, and the raging fire rose into the air, trying to break through the energy hand condensed by Gu He.
Seeing this scene, Gu He's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he instantly activated the Divine Fire Technique. A purple flame condensed from his palm and turned into a purple fire net, imprisoning the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire inside.
Gu He's natal divine fire was condensed from the Nine Nether Fire.
Obviously, although they are both strange fires, the Nine Nether Fire's power is obviously stronger than the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.
Under the pressure of the purple fire net, the violent Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire gradually shrank, and the fire waves gradually subsided.
After a while, under the continuous contraction of the purple fire net, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire returned to its previous appearance of a blue fire lotus.
Not far away, Queen Medusa looked at the purple flame condensed in Gu He's palm, and a look of shock flashed in her beautiful eyes.
This human's control over strange fire has reached such a level.
Looking at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire that was oppressed and restored to its original state, Queen Medusa felt more and more the horror of the human in front of her.
But immediately, a trace of resentment flashed in Queen Medusa's eyes.
This human being, who already possesses a kind of strange fire, wants to snatch the strange fire in his hand. He is really hateful and greedy.
Thinking of the strange fire she had worked so hard to make a wedding dress for the humans in front of her, Queen Medusa couldn't help cursing Furukawa for the backlash she suffered while refining the strange fire.
At this moment, Gu He looked at Qinglian's Earth Heart Fire, which had become docile under the suppression of the natal divine fire, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Then, with a thought in Furukawa's mind, Furukawa quickly flicked his fingers on the Na ring. Suddenly, cyan light slowly rose from the Na ring, and finally floated in front of Xiao Yan. Within the cyan light, it was like a work of art. The perfect green lotus seat rotates slightly, releasing a faint energy.
When he came, Furukawa had already talked about the time when he would receive the strange fire, so he specially took the green lotus seat from Qinglin.
The Green Lotus Lotus Seat comes from the same lineage as the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. Using it to contain the latter not only suppresses the temperature of the alien fire from overflowing, but also has a much higher safety factor than directly wrapping it with energy. many.
Holding the Green Lotus Seat in his palm, Furukawa threw it lightly towards the strange fire in mid-air. After the Green Lotus Seat reached under the strange fire, a faint green light mask spread out from it, and finally quietly threw the Green Lotus Seat away. The earth's core fire enveloped and entered.
As the cyan light shield slowly shrank, the strange fire gradually fell back into the lotus heart without any resistance. Suddenly, the empty lotus heart was filled with strange cyan flames.
"Succeeded..."
The collection of the strange fire went smoothly beyond Furukawa's expectation. Looking at the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire that was collected into the Green Lotus Seat, Kohe's face showed a hint of joy.
Carefully reaching out to hold the bottom of the green lotus seat, his eyes were fixed on the cluster of green flames in the center, and a touch of excitement could not help but flash through his dark eyes.
The purpose of coming to Tagore Desert this time was for the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire. Although there were many twists and turns in the process, it was finally realized.
Holding the Green Lotus Seat in his hand, Furukawa directly took the entire Green Lotus Seat and the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire into the system space with a thought.
Then, Furukawa looked down at a pool of ice spirit cold spring, a look of emotion flashed in his eyes.
But Kohe glanced at the cold-looking Queen Medusa, feeling a little embarrassed. After a moment of hesitation, he gave up his plan to pack up the entire Ice Spirit Cold Spring and take it away.
It would be too much to rob the strange fire in the hands of Queen Medusa. It would be too much to rob this pool of ice spirit cold spring again.
Although Furukawa doesn't think he is a good person, he still doesn't want to do such a trick unless necessary.
Thinking of this, Furukawa looked at the ice spring below with some regret, and then he flashed in front of Queen Medusa.
"Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for this."
Furukawa sincerely thanked Queen Medusa.
Then, he looked at Queen Medusa's cold face, and with a thought in his heart, he took out two jade bottles from the ring and handed them to Queen Medusa.
"Inside is a sixth-grade elixir, Qingming Shou Dan, and several healing elixirs. This should be considered as compensation to Her Majesty the Queen." Furukawa said calmly.
"The sixth-grade elixir Qingmingshou Dan."
Looking at the jade bottle handed over by Furukawa, Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes changed slightly and she glanced at Furukawa in surprise.
This guy does have some conscience.
However, when she thought that the other party had not only snatched away her strange fire, but also injured the four elders of the clan, the good feelings that arose in Queen Medusa's heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only resentment towards Furukawa in her heart.
Why, after you beat someone and robbed me of my strange fire, are you going to use a sixth-grade elixir to kill me?
Queen Medusa didn't know the function of this Qingming Longevity Pill.
She had never heard of this kind of elixir, and she only felt that it was just an ordinary "sixth-grade elixir" and was of no use to her.
Therefore, when faced with the elixir handed over by Gu He, she did not reach out to take it, her expression remained indifferent.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Kohe frowned slightly, and immediately explained: "After taking this Qingming Shou Dan, even if you are in the Douhuang realm, you can increase your life span by ten years. Doesn't Her Majesty the Queen look down on it?"
"If that's the case, then I won't force it."
After saying that, Gu He was ready to put away the jade bottle.
But after hearing Furukawa's explanation, Queen Medusa's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately snatched the jade bottle from Furukawa's hand before Furukawa put it away.
This Qingming Longevity Pill can increase the life span by ten years. It is definitely a life-saving pill for the elders in the clan who are exhausted.
Even if Queen Medusa is dissatisfied with Furukawa, she cannot ignore the life and death of the four elders.
Seeing Queen Medusa grab the elixir, Furukawa was slightly startled. Looking at Queen Medusa who still looked cold, a smile appeared on her lips.
Is this woman still a tsundere?
However, now that the other party has accepted his kindness, the apology in Furukawa's heart suddenly dissipates a lot.
"Excuse me!"
After cupping his hands towards Queen Medusa, Koga turned around and walked towards the outside of the lake.
The strange fire was already in hand, so there was no need for him to stay here and just be annoying.
Seeing Furukawa preparing to leave without hesitation, Queen Medusa's face changed slightly, then she thought of something, her red lips slightly opened, and she said in a cold voice: "Wait!"
Hearing this, Kohe paused, turned around and looked at Queen Medusa, and asked with some confusion: "Is there anything else, Your Majesty the Queen?"
Queen Medusa's face flashed a hint of hesitation, her red lips moved, but she finally said: "Can you lend me the strange fire for a while?"
Hearing this, Gu He frowned.
Seeing Gu He frowned, Queen Medusa was furious for no reason, and snorted coldly: "This strange fire was obtained by me after going through life and death. Now it is not enough to just borrow it for a while. Your Excellency is too much."
"Does your Majesty still want to try that method?" Gu He looked at Queen Medusa and said calmly: "In fact, if your Majesty wants to break through, I can refine a Dou Zong Dan for you. There is no need to take this risk."
Hearing Gu He's words, Queen Medusa's face changed slightly, her beautiful eyes became a little cold, and she said coldly: "What do you know?"
Gu He did not keep the secret, and talked freely: "I once read an ancient book Occasionally, I saw a piece of news about the queen of the snake people. It said that when Queen Medusa reached the peak of Douhuang, if the opportunity was enough, she would be able to have a strange evolution. After the evolution, Queen Medusa could not only freely transform into a human body, but also become a Douzong strongman. However, the success rate of this evolution seemed to be quite low, and... the most important thing was that the thing required for this evolution was the strange fire..."
"I think that Her Majesty did not want to exchange the strange fire, so she should have the idea of using the strange fire to evolve, right?" After saying that, Gu He looked at Queen Medusa with a firm look.
After listening to Gu He's words, Queen Medusa's expression changed slightly, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but she remained silent in the end, which was regarded as tacitly agreeing with Gu He's statement.
After hesitating for a moment, Queen Medusa raised her head and looked at Gu He again, saying indifferently: "I wonder if you are willing to lend me the strange fire?"
When Queen Medusa thought about the strange fire she had worked so hard to get, but now she had to "borrow" it in a humble manner, she felt endless frustration in her heart.
When Gu He heard this, he immediately understood that this woman was determined to take this path.
Although in the original work, Queen Medusa finally succeeded.
But there are too many unstable factors in the tempering of the strange fire. If you are not careful, you will end up dying and turning to ashes.
With a slight sigh in his heart, Gu He glanced at Queen Medusa with a cold expression, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty wants to borrow the strange fire, it's not impossible, but I have a few small conditions, I hope Your Majesty can agree."
"Do you have any more conditions?"
"How many more conditions?"
Hearing this, Queen Medusa frowned slightly, her expression was extremely dissatisfied.
In her opinion, this strange fire was originally hers, and now she was just borrowing it for a while, but this guy was shamelessly putting forward conditions.
It was really too much!
According to her previous temper, she would have been angry and vented her dissatisfaction at this moment.
But thinking of the terrible strength of the human man in front of her, Queen Medusa could only suppress her anger and gritted her silver teeth and hissed: "What are your conditions?"
Gu He was not polite and directly put forward three conditions.
One, half a pool of ice spirit cold spring.
Two, the practice method practiced by Queen Medusa.
Three, Sand Mandala.
Gu He had long been envious of the pool of ice spirit cold spring next to him.
He was just worried about how to start, and now that Queen Medusa asked him for something, he would naturally not miss this good opportunity.
And the practice method practiced by Queen Medusa was prepared by Gu He for Xiao Qinglin.
Although Qinglin's current cultivation is still at the Dou Qi stage, with the blessing of the blue lotus and the spiritual liquid configured by Gu He, it won't take long for him to break through the Douzhe realm.
When you reach the Douzhe realm, if you want to improve your cultivation, you must practice the exercises.
But Qinglin has the blood of the snake people, and Gu He doesn't have any exercises suitable for her to practice.
So, he can only focus on Queen Medusa.
As the queen of the snake people, Queen Medusa's practice is naturally extraordinary, and it must also be suitable for the blood of the snake people to practice.
This is naturally a very suitable exercise for Qinglin, who has the blood of the snake people.
And the last Sand Mandala is naturally the last medicinal material that Gu He promised to find for Hai Bodong to refine the Breaking Evil Pill.
Queen Medusa hesitated for a moment for Gu He's first and third requests, and then readily agreed.
Although the Ice Spirit Cold Spring is extremely precious to the outside world.
But the snake people live in the depths of the Tagor Desert, where there are many places where ice spirit cold springs are produced.
For Queen Medusa, the ice spirit cold spring is not an important treasure.
So it is a very straightforward answer.
And the Sand Mandragora is not as rare as the ice spirit cold spring, so it is naturally not taken seriously by Queen Medusa.
"What is the use of the cultivation method you want me to practice?" Medusa frowned and looked at Gu He.
Queen Medusa was very puzzled by Gu He's second request.
After all, the cultivation method she practiced is only suitable for the bloodline of the snake people.
And what is the use of this human in front of her for the snake people to practice?
"To be honest, I have a disciple who is the bloodline left by the snake people and humans. For her future cultivation, I can only borrow the cultivation method of Her Majesty the Queen." Gu He did not hide it and explained lightly.
