33: Evolution failed?

At this moment, looking through the cyan flame, one could see terrifyingly gruesome bloody traces covering the Purple Snake's body.

Due to the loss of blood, the Purple Snake's massive body visibly shrank at a speed noticeable to the naked eye.

Heart-wrenching wails continuously emanated from within.

One could imagine the inhuman torment Queen Medusa was currently enduring.

That kind of pain was not merely physical; even her Soul could not escape the scorching of the Strange Flame.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin averted their gaze, unable to watch; this scene truly left an indelible shock in their hearts.

One had to admit that Queen Medusa's courage surpassed that of the vast majority of the Human Race.

They questioned themselves, realizing they definitely could not be as brave and resolute as she was.

Because the commotion caused by Queen Medusa was simply too great, all the experts of the Snake-People Clan rushed to this location.

They stood outside the small island, their eyes fixed on the center of the island. Without an oral decree from Her Majesty, they dared not trespass.

"Bless Her Majesty, that she may evolve successfully and secure a chance for survival for our Snake-People Clan." Yue Mei clasped her hands and prayed silently.

Her Majesty was the heaven of their Snake-People Clan; only a successful evolution would give the Snake-People Clan the confidence to negotiate with the Human Race and allow them to leave the desert.

"Where are the Human Race experts from earlier? Why did they vanish in the blink of an eye?"

Several other Snake-People Clan Leaders scanned the area but failed to find Jiang Luo and his group.

"Damn the Human Race! Once Her Majesty successfully evolves, we must make the Human Race pay their blood debt!"

The Snake-People Clan Leaders clenched their fists, regretting only their lack of strength, which allowed the Human Race to intrude, yet they were helpless.

Unbeknownst to them, Jiang Luo had already ascended the small island and was watching the entire process of Queen Medusa's evolution right under their noses.

"Has the evolution started?"

At this moment, the belated Xiao Yan had already sneaked into the periphery of the small island, hiding in a rock crevice, peering out with only his eyes to secretly observe the Snake-People Clan's actions.

At the same time, his attention was drawn by the commotion caused during Queen Medusa's evolution.

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

The surroundings were now completely encircled by Snake-People Clan experts; forget about snatching the Strange Flame, not even a fly could hope to get in.

Clearly, Queen Medusa's safety was the Snake-People Clan's top priority and could not be compromised.

"Queen Medusa's evolution has already begun, and the Green Lotus Core Flame has been stimulated into an extremely violent state. If we want to acquire the Strange Flame, we can only wait for Queen Medusa's evolution to finish." Yao Lao said somewhat helplessly.

Given the current situation, breaking into the small island surrounded by Snake-People Clan experts was out of the question, let alone attempting to seize the Strange Flame.

Xiao Yan remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, as the sounds gradually subsided, Xiao Yan, standing outside the Purple Light Barrier, looked at Queen Medusa, who had gone still within the Strange Flame, and frowned slightly, "Did she fail?"

Meanwhile, in the center of the small island, Jiang Luo slowly walked out.

What lay before him was a charred corpse; a body several dozen Zhang long had been forcefully burned down to only two or three Zhang.

The cold body was indistinguishable from a dead snake.

"Teacher, she's dead." Qing Lin looked at the charred corpse, grief rising in her heart.

That connection stemming from her Bloodline made it difficult for her to accept this outcome.

"She's not dead yet."

As soon as Jiang Luo finished speaking, the charred skin on the surface of the corpse suddenly peeled off, and then, under the gaze of the three people, a small snake slowly emerged.

This small snake was no more than two centimeters long, covered all over with colorful scales, and its light Purple Snake pupils revealed a hint of enchantment.

A peculiar, fresh fragrance lingered around its body; although it currently looked only like a snake, it subtly exuded elegance and nobility.

Its figure was tiny and exquisite, yet its appearance was so beautiful it seemed otherworldly.
