Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 50 Little Medusa

"Second Regiment Commander..."

Qinglin stared blankly at Xiao Li, then glanced at Lin Ran, who had a calm expression. She quickly got out of Lin Ran's arms and, together with Xiao Li, bowed deeply to Lin Ran.

Although she was naive, she wasn't a complete fool. Judging from the woman who appeared out of nowhere earlier and the attitude of Lin Ran and the others towards her, everything that was happening to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group seemed to be related to her.

"Would you serve me faithfully, like a dog or a horse?"

Lin Ran looked at Xiao Li with great interest. He knew all too well what kind of person this second brother of the Yan Emperor was.

A ruthless and decisive person who is vengeful and even willing to take the Life-Devouring Pill for revenge!

Such people have almost nothing in their hearts except family affection; if they were to be used for one's own purposes...

"Xiao Li knows that his strength is insignificant, and the Mo Tie Mercenary Group has already fallen apart. He can bring you very little benefit, but the debt of saving your life is greater than heaven. We also hope to do our part to repay your kindness."

Xiao Li spoke in a deep voice, his attitude sincere.

The eldest brother, Xiao Ding, is dead, and his Mo Tie mercenary group is now just a bunch of remnants. If they can't get close to Lin Ran, death is all that awaits them!

Xiao Li didn't want to die.

When he and Xiao Ding left the Xiao family and came to this Stone Desert City to establish the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, it was to provide a place for his third brother, whose fighting spirit had disappeared.

Now that his third brother has finally recovered and is even more talented than before, how can he, as the older brother, just leave like this?

He is not willing!

He wanted to take Xiao Yan back to the Xiao family and restore its glory; he wanted to take Xiao Yan back to rebuild the Xiao family's honor!

He wanted to take Xiao Yan to the Yunlan Sect to wash away the shame of the three-year agreement, and even... to avenge his elder brother.

No matter what, he couldn't die; he had to grasp at this only straw that was his only chance of survival!

"I have heard what the Little Fairy Doctor said. Since you have come to the Tagor Desert, we have lived in this desert for many years and have some understanding of it. We are willing to serve as your vanguard and share your burdens!"

"Oh?"

Lin Ran looked surprised and said with a faint smile, "Your mercenary group's strength is nothing special. Even if you know a lot about the Tagor Desert, it probably won't be of much help to what I'm going to do."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed slightly, but he still said in a low voice, "Xiao Li dares to ask, sir, what brings you to the Tagor Desert this time...?"

"Queen Medusa".

Lin Ran spoke calmly, but his words caused everyone present to freeze as if struck by lightning.

Near the desert, Queen Medusa's fearsome reputation was enough to instill fear in any human being. In the great war of yesteryear, Her Majesty the Queen single-handedly annihilated several cities, and her fearsome reputation was so great that it could almost stop a baby from crying.

Ignoring the pain of their injuries, countless mercenaries stared at the calm and handsome young man with shock and disbelief, their minds still reeling.

Dude, are you in such a hurry to die?

"Shocked?" Lin Ran chuckled and shook his head. "Medusa may have a fearsome reputation, but she's just a minor Dou Huang. Why be so afraid?"

A mere Dou Huang?!

Brother, that's a Dou Huang powerhouse! A Dou Huang powerhouse who can fight against ten thousand men single-handedly, a Dou Huang powerhouse who can single-handedly form an army! You can count the number of Dou Huang powerhouses in the entire Jia Ma Empire on one hand, and each one of them is a powerful figure who commands respect in their own region.

How come it's become a minor Dou Huang in your mouth?

"It seems that for the boss, Medusa is really just a minor Dou Huang." Bai Ya clicked his tongue. For Lin Ran, who has the strength of a Dou Zong, the Dou Huang Medusa is indeed not worth mentioning.

"But the reason why the boss wants to find Medusa is..."

Boss?

Lin Ran gave this guy a strange look. What kind of address was that?

Seemingly realizing something, the woman in green suddenly raised her head and exclaimed, "Does my lord desire Queen Medusa's essence blood?"

Back in Blackrock City, Green Robe had already learned of Lin Ran's need for high-level magical beast blood essence and magic cores, and was even willing to exchange them for high-level pills.

Ironically, the blood essence of the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King that she gave up at the auction has now become one of Lin Ran's subordinates.

"Indeed, I do need the essence blood of high-level magical beasts, and Queen Medusa is the one I know, closest to me, and easiest to obtain."

Lin Ran nodded and said calmly.

The crowd exchanged glances, gasping for breath.

Queen Medusa, the most powerful and ferocious killer in the Gama Empire, a figure who strikes fear into the hearts of all and silences even the most timid children, has been reduced to mere prey. This feeling... is simply like a dream.

"Medusa's essence blood... Does that mean if I follow the boss, I might have a chance to get close to her..."

The Eight-Winged Black Serpent King muttered to himself, then quickly raised his hand and said, "Boss, I've been to the Tagor Desert, I know the exact location of Queen Medusa's palace!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King.

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow slightly: "Tell me about it."

"Queen Medusa's true form is the Purple Nether Flame Serpent. Her palace is located in the center of the Tagor Desert. Her serpent-people clan has many powerful members, including countless Dou Wangs, more than a dozen Dou Lings, and even Dou Huangs, including Medusa, there are four."

"Those four Dou Huang powerhouses are all different snake species. If the boss wants their essence blood, he can directly obtain all four types."

very good!

Lin Ran showed a satisfied expression; those white teeth were quite perceptive.

"However, the only thing to be careful about is that Queen Medusa is not with her people for most of the year."

Seemingly having thought of something, White Fang said in a deep voice, "In order to improve the living environment of the Snake People and to seek their own breakthroughs, Medusa has been frequently wandering in the Gama Empire and even the Northwest Continent in recent years, seeking opportunities for breakthroughs. Therefore, she may not be in the tribe. So, boss, we have a certain chance of making a wasted trip."

"No, it won't be a wasted trip..."

A timid, soft voice suddenly rang out in the room.

"My lord, I once sensed an extremely powerful aura in the eastern part of our Stone Desert City."

Feeling the gazes directed at her, Qinglin subconsciously shrank back, her timidity deepening. She stammered, "I don't know if my senses were accurate... but about three months ago, I sensed an extremely powerful aura outside Stone Desert City. This aura was somewhat similar to some of the bloodlines within me, and even these two adults paled in comparison to that aura."

As she spoke, Qinglin pointed to Green Robe and White Teeth.

"oh?!"

These words moved many people.

Both Green Robe and White Fang are Dou Huang powerhouses. Although Green Robe has just stepped into the Dou Huang realm, White Fang is a genuine six-star Dou Huang, and he has also taken the Demon Transformation Pill, making him exceptionally strong.

With an aura far surpassing theirs and a bloodline somewhat similar to Qinglin's, who else in this Tagor Desert could be but Queen Medusa?

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either..."

Qinglin shook her head and said softly, "I can only vaguely sense that three months ago, she suddenly came to the eastern part of Stone Desert City and seemed to stay there for one night. During that night, the energy in the east was extremely turbulent, and I also know that she seemed to have been injured when she left..."
