Chapter 49: Medusa Queen

Senior, wait a moment while I approach to take it, and you must maintain the protective shield so it can resist the strange fire's attack, protecting me during this period from harm by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Hearing the inquiry, Lin Feng turned his head and said.

Yes.

After saying that, Lu Man quickly increased her Dou Qi infusion, strengthening the protective energy of Lin Feng's shield.

Lin Feng also hurriedly took out a jade knife made from high-quality rouge jade, and took another Qi-Replenishing Pill.

Then, with a flap of his purple wings, he shot toward the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire at maximum speed...

At first, Lin Feng encountered no obstruction, but when he approached the azure lotus...

The cluster of flame that seemed gentle at the center of the lotus platform suddenly became violent.

A sky-covering curtain of azure flames formed, rushing violently toward Lin Feng.

This situation made Lin Feng's heart almost jump out of his chest.

However, fortunately, after the azure flame curtain struck the shield, Lin Feng only felt the surrounding temperature suddenly rise greatly.

But he suffered no harm.

"Hurry up, even if I am a Fighting Emperor, resisting this level consumes a tremendous amount of Dou Qi."

Seeing Lin Feng's action, Lu Man increased her Dou Qi output and urged,

"Good."

He responded with a shout, and Lin Feng hurriedly rushed again at full speed toward the azure lotus...

Soon, Lin Feng had smoothly arrived beside the azure lotus.

He lightly sliced the part where the lotus connects to its stem with the jade knife.

Instantly, the perfect azure lotus, like a work of art, detached and fell down.

As the azure lotus fell, the previously violent flame curtain violently recoiled back into the lotus platform.

And the originally violent earth core fire also became gentle again.

Gazing at the azure lotus hovering in the magma, Lin Feng grabbed it with one hand, then immediately turned and swam back along the original path to Lu Man.

"Is this the strange fire...? Indeed, as something born of heaven and earth, it is far more violent than any Beast Fire I have ever seen."

Looking at the jumping earth core fire in the lotus platform, Lu Man's expression showed some surprise.

I never expected such a powerful strange fire to be so firmly controlled by a mere lotus platform.

"It is precisely because of this violent power that people cannot replicate it, which is why these flames are called strange fire."

Lin Feng casually replied, his eyes flashing with a hint of sharpness as he gazed at the eleven lotus seeds beside the platform.

Immediately afterward, he casually took out a storage ring from his bosom.

Then, after transferring all the items inside it to another storage ring,

he then placed the strange fire into that empty storage ring, after all, if he directly put the strange fire inside,

the terrifying temperature of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire would incinerate everything inside.

"Let's go, let's go up."

Thinking of their prior agreement, Lu Man no longer thought about the strange fire, turned, and floated upward.

"Xiao Ling, let's go."

Seeing Lu Man leave, Lin Feng called out, and then he too swiftly floated upward...

Deep within the Tagor Great Desert.

In a spacious and luxurious hall, a graceful figure leaned lightly against the back of a chair.

Suddenly, a pair of beautiful eyes gazed toward a certain direction—exactly where the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was located.

"This scorching, violent aura... could it be... strange fire!"

The woman's perfect face instantly showed a look of joy.

"I never imagined that after searching for so many years, it would be right here in the Tagor Great Desert where my Snake-People Tribe resides."

As her enchanting voice faded, her alluring figure had, at some point, already vanished from the spot...

"Pfft~" twice

After an unknown amount of time, with two soft sounds, Lin Feng and Lu Man shot straight out from the magma.

After a brief pause, they then descended onto the land beside the passage.

"Young master, did you obtain that strange fire?"

Seeing Lin Feng return, Qing Lin immediately asked.

While speaking, he hurriedly ran up and circled around Lin Feng.

After confirming Lin Feng was uninjured, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, letting the worried heart he had raised settle back down.

However, just as he relaxed, Qing Lin recalled that powerful aura from above.

His face turned "swish" with anxiety as he panicked, saying, "Young master, it's not good—just now I sensed a powerful aura arriving on the surface, and that person's bloodline seems somewhat similar to mine; could they be here to seize the strange fire?"

"What?"

Hearing Qing Lin's words, both Lin Feng and Lu Man were startled.

Then Lu Man thought of Bai Ya's combat strength and laughed, "It's fine; with Bai Ya here, few nearby can match him in battle."

Meanwhile, Lin Feng thought that the person's bloodline was similar to Qing Lin's and their aura was strong.

If all these conditions are met, then it probably is...

Gazing at Qing Lin, Lin Feng continued to ask, "Compared to Senior Bai Ya, who is stronger?"

"That person is somewhat stronger."

Hearing Qing Lin's answer, Lin Feng's heart sank sharply.

And Lu Man's expression also became solemn at this moment.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Lin Feng then spoke: "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the Medusa Queen."

Lvman also nodded slightly, indicating agreement; obviously, she had also guessed the newcomer's identity.

Immediately turning to Lin Feng beside him, he said: "Kid, you didn't mention earlier that there's also the big trouble of Medusa."

I also didn't expect that taking a strange fire would attract her.

Lin Feng let out a bitter laugh and explained.

After a moment of silence in the cave, Lin Feng asked: "Senior Lvman, how much of your Dou Qi remains?"

Lvman frowned slightly and said: "Less than thirty percent."

Seeing this situation, Lin Feng couldn't even afford to feel sorry.

With a flick of his hand, he took out two fourth-grade Recovery Pills from the Mo Cheng Na Jie ring.

He handed them to Lvman and said: "Senior, take them quickly; although these two pills won't restore much Dou Qi, they'll at least have some effect."

You kid, you're really willing to part with them; keep them for yourself.

Seeing Lin Feng unhesitatingly take out two fourth-grade pills, Lvman's favorability toward him increased considerably.

However, she didn't take them; instead, she took out a fifth-grade pill from her own storage ring, a flicker of pain flashing in her eyes, and then swallowed it.

Boom!

Just then, the cave suddenly shook violently.

Sand and rocks from the cave ceiling fell in large chunks.

Looks like a fight broke out above; we need to go up quickly.

Feeling the violent tremors coming from above, Lvman grew worried about Baiya's safety and hastily said.

If Baiya died, she alone couldn't handle the peak Emperor Medusa Queen.

Moreover, her Dou Qi is not sufficient either.

All right, senior, let you hold Qinglin; that'll be safer.

Saying that, Lin Feng quickly took back the pills, stroked Qinglin's little head, and gestured for her to come over.

Seeing this, Lvman also worried that Qinglin might come to harm.

After all, Lin Feng's strength is too low to guarantee her safety.

He grabbed the approaching Qinglin in one sweep, then turned into a blur and shot upward through the passage.

Lin Feng also circulated his Dou Qi, jumped into the passage, and sprinted wildly toward the ground...
