Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 5, Healing Medusa's Wounds

The forbidden land of the snake people.

This is a bamboo forest, a rare water source in the desert.

Normally only Medusa can come here.

As a personal bodyguard, Flower Snake could occasionally come here to see Medusa.

This was Ning Su's first time here.

Upon entering the forbidden area, one can feel the intense heat permeating the air, which makes one very uncomfortable.

In the bamboo grove ahead, there is a very obvious mark that looks like it has been scorched by fire.

The bamboo forests it passed through were burned to black ashes, and even the ground was scorched.

"What on earth happened to the Queen...?" Seeing the scene before her, Flower Snake was even more worried.

She carried Ning Su and quickly walked into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Soon, the man and the snake passed through the bamboo forest and saw Medusa in the center of the forest. Medusa was lying on the ground, her breath was weak, and there was a very obvious burn on her tail.

Beside it, a blue lotus flame lay quietly.

"Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?!"

Ning Su recognized the blue lotus flame at a glance.

It turns out that when Medusa said she had to go out, she was going to retrieve the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!

Moreover, it seems that Medusa was injured while obtaining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?!"

Flower Snake quickly went over and helped Medusa up.

"Why are you here?"

Medusa is currently in a very weak state; the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame has caused her considerable injury.

"We came here immediately because we sensed that Your Majesty's breathing was disordered."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong? This is...?"

Flower Snake also noticed the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame beside her, but she didn't recognize it.

"You don't need to ask so many questions. I'm fine. You go out and guard the entrance to the forbidden area. Don't let anyone else in. I'll just need to meditate for a bit," Medusa said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hua She'er immediately turned around and went out to guard the door, while Ning Su stayed behind.

Medusa stood still to regulate her breathing, suppressing the aura within her body that had been scorched by the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

She had burns on her tail and hands, and they weren't ordinary burns.

Burns from strange fire are more troublesome and require better healing medicine to be cured.

Ning crawled over and looked at Medusa's wound.

He could sense the residual energy of the strange fire in the wound; although not much, it was still a strange fire.

Then, a brilliant idea struck him. He climbed onto Medusa's tail and used his body to cover the wound.

[Ding! Residual core energy of the Azure Lotus Earth Fire has been detected. You can absorb it!]

really!

Ning Su was right; he could devour and absorb any kind of energy.

"Little Black, you wait here obediently." Medusa was healing herself and thought Ning Su had climbed on her to ask to be touched.

But soon, she felt the wound on her tail begin to heal little by little under Ning Su's touch.

The burning sensation began to dissipate quickly.

She was astonished: "Little Black, are you healing my wounds?"

Ning nodded.

[Successfully absorbed the remaining energy of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, Fire Resistance +1%!]

After treating the burn wounds on Medusa's tail, Ning Su climbed onto Medusa's arms, shoulders, and body, licking the wounds one by one.

[Successfully absorbed the remaining energy of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, Fire Resistance +1%!]

……

In no time, Medusa's burns were completely healed.

Ning Su thus gained 5% fire resistance.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much residual strange fire energy, and Ning Su's cultivation level didn't improve much.

"I never expected you to have this ability, Xiao Hei, you really surprised me."

Medusa couldn't help but hug Ning Su.

She suddenly had a feeling that Ning Su was a blessing bestowed upon her by God!

"Hiss~"

Ning Su stuck out her tongue and looked at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame not far away.

It has already been confirmed that he can devour the energy of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, so can he also directly devour this strange flame?

Medusa noticed his eagerness and tapped his little head: "Little guy, you can't be greedy with this thing, or it will burn you to death."

That was something that even she almost got burned by.

Even if Ning Su has a huge appetite, she must not covet the strange fire.

"Hiss~"

Ning Su felt somewhat disappointed.

The latest novel is first published here!

He knew Medusa wanted to evolve using a different kind of fire, but now was not the time.

Medusa still needs to make other preparations, otherwise if she acts now, the strange fire could burn her to death.

We need to find something to suppress the temperature of the strange fire.

"Little Black, let's go."

Medusa left the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame here and left the forbidden area.

She then gave Hua She'er an order: from today onwards, no one except her is allowed to enter the forbidden area without permission!

If the strange fire were to erupt out of control among the snake-people, it would bring unprecedented disaster to them, so no accident could be allowed to occur.

Medusa, on the other hand, needs to find a way to suppress the power of the strange fire before she can begin to evolve.

……

"Little Black, I'm going out again today, do you want to come with me?"

This time, Medusa did not make Ning Su stay as she had requested, but instead chose to take her with her.

Ok?

Are we going out again?

It's only been three days since Medusa brought back the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, why is she going out again?

Surely it's not like they discovered a second type of strange fire.

But... whatever he's going out to do, let's get out first!

Ning quickly climbed onto Medusa's body, expressing her desire to leave.

"I knew you'd go." Medusa smiled and patted his head.

The flower snake standing to the side seemed somewhat dazed.

In her memory, Medusa rarely smiled.

But ever since Ning Su arrived, Medusa has been smiling much more.

She has also become much gentler.

Flower Snake was very happy.

She had always felt that Medusa was too harsh on her, and that she had to suppress her emotions in order to stay clear-headed and manage the snake people.

Now, with Ning Su around, Medusa's life is brighter.

Medusa no longer simply treated Ning Su as a pet, but rather as a companion, caring for her like her own child.

"Xiao Hua, you stay here. Xiao Hei and I are going out for a bit."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Medusa left the royal city with Little Black.

……

On the edge of the Tagor Desert, atop a blazing volcano.

An elderly man in a blue robe was carefully climbing to the top of the volcano and prying aside several huge rocks.

Beneath the stone lies an underground river.

This place is clearly a volcano, yet a chilling aura emanates from beneath the underground river.

Fortunately, the old man also cultivated ice-based battle qi, so this bit of coldness had no effect on him.

"As expected, it's here... The Frozen Spirit Spring, such a treasure is rarely seen!"
