Chapter 221: The Companion Purple Crystal Source and the Sixth-Stage Magic Core!
Boom!
A large mass of dark clouds began to gather in the sky, and a thunderbolt, as thick as a barrel, struck with a loud bang, directly piercing through the purple light curtain at the center of the city below, falling into the alluring cyan flames. A sharp scream echoed, and then gradually faded.
"Is it over?"
"Did she fail the evolution?"
"More and more strong members of the Serpent Clan are appearing. Should we retreat?"
For a moment, the people from several forces felt uncertain, unsure of what to do. From the distant sand dune, Jiang Lin silently watched everything. With a crisp sound, he slowly unfolded his futuristic black feather heavy bow in his hand. Two wings emerged from the void behind him and embedded into the grooves of his back armor.
This rogue, not belonging to any force, was like a silent hunter, his golden eyes looking through the goggles as he calmly observed the battle between the human Dou Kings and the Serpent Clan Dou Kings.
"Good thing I didn't waste the water-type crystal core. Now I can use it for a burst. I wonder how that guy plans to retreat in such a situation. That old ghost of a fire can only protect himself in front of a Dou Huang, but here, there are so many Dou Kings. Could it be that we've also become part of the antagonist's script?"
On the other side, within the purple light curtain, in the middle of a lake island, Xiao Yan, with a reluctant heart, watched the giant purple serpent that had been directly struck by the thunder and turned into charcoal. He sighed, "Did she fail the evolution?"
"…Maybe not," the old pharmacist's voice sounded more serious. Just as Xiao Yan was about to pick up some equipment, a crisp and strange sound came from behind him. Xiao Yan instantly turned around and saw that the scales on the charred body of the giant serpent started to fall off in large pieces.
"That's..." Xiao Yan's shocked words were cut short as a slender, beautiful, almost impossibly pretty multicolored snake suddenly emerged from the burnt scales! As soon as the multicolored snake saw Xiao Yan, it hesitated for a moment, then accelerated, charging directly towards him at a speed too fast for Xiao Yan to react.
Luckily, the old fire ghost reacted faster. A faint white flame rose around Xiao Yan's body, and the multicolored snake immediately stopped, hovering in front of Xiao Yan, warily staring at the cold white flame surrounding him.
The old pharmacist's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind, with an unusual gravity, "A full-body multicolored snake with faint purple eyes. Yes, it's definitely the Multicolored Devouring Sky Python! I didn't expect the Medusa Queen's bloodline to be so closely related to this ancient beast!"
"Master, what is the Multicolored Devouring Sky Python?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at the multicolored snake in front of him with some surprise. He couldn't imagine such a beautiful and mesmerizing snake, which didn't give off the usual dangerous vibe that most snakes did.
"You don't need to worry about the details, just know that this is an ancient beast with bloodlines as powerful as dragons or phoenixes, comparable to the ancient beast tribes in the magic beast world!" The old pharmacist had initially been somewhat dismissive of Queen Medusa, thinking, "What can evolution even achieve?"
But now, it turned out that the bloodline of the Serpent Clan's ancestors was actually linked to the Multicolored Devouring Sky Python?! This felt as ridiculous as Xiao Yan, with the surname Xiao, suddenly awakening his bloodline, somehow connecting him with the ancient Xiao Clan, what a bizarre coincidence!
"The Multicolored Devouring Sky Python can continue evolving into the Nine-Colored Devouring Sky Python, which can grow to the level of a Dou Sheng! In ancient times, such powerful magic beasts with bloodlines like the Multicolored Devouring Sky Python almost always had ancestors who were Dou Emperors!"
"Alright, don't worry about that. Quickly gather your things, there are Dou Kings and Dou Huangs outside. Once the barrier here breaks, we will have to flee for our lives!" The old pharmacist briefly explained the Multicolored Devouring Sky Python to Xiao Yan, then urged him to quickly pack up.
Xiao Yan nodded, momentarily putting the multicolored snake aside. He bent down to pick up Queen Medusa's storage ring and quickly transferred everything inside into his own storage ring.
"Hey! The Companion Purple Crystal Source!" Suddenly, Xiao Yan discovered something in Queen Medusa's belongings that made his expression freeze. He took out the used Companion Purple Crystal Source, which was shattered, but for now, Xiao Yan wasn't concerned with the flowing Companion Purple Crystal Source. What mattered more to him was the source crystal that enveloped the Companion Purple Crystal Source!
According to Jiang Lin, that substance was something he had searched for years to find and was the best material for crafting cores!
Whoosh!
Although Xiao Yan didn't care much about the Companion Purple Crystal Source, the multicolored snake was very interested. It lunged forward and started absorbing the Companion Purple Crystal Source. By the time Xiao Yan eagerly retrieved the source crystal, which had been carelessly discarded in Queen Medusa's storage ring, he realized the multicolored snake had already consumed a tenth of the Companion Purple Crystal Source.
Xiao Yan's face darkened as he quickly stored the remaining Companion Purple Crystal Source in a bottle and threw it into his storage ring.
"Master! I've got the source crystals of the Companion Purple Crystal Source! And two source crystals! One of the Companion Purple Crystal Sources was consumed by Queen Medusa, but I almost missed the remaining source crystals! Now we just need one Fire-type Magic Core, and we can go to Jiang Lin to craft the core!" Although Xiao Yan felt a little pain seeing the Companion Purple Crystal Source consumed by the multicolored snake, he couldn't help but feel excited about finally obtaining a Fire-type Magic Core.
"A Fire-type Magic Core?" The old pharmacist's face turned somewhat strange as he quietly looked at the giant serpent's body, scorched by lightning and the Earth Fire. His voice carried an indescribable tone, "You see, don't you already have a ready-made one, a Sixth-Stage Fire-type Magic Core?"
Queen Medusa's snake body was originally a Fire-type magic beast, and even a Sixth-Stage Fire-type one at that. This was also why she sought the Companion Purple Crystal Source, as the pure Fire-type energy liquid was of great benefit to her.
The old pharmacist was beginning to doubt Xiao Yan's luck. Was it just a little too good?
Was this the perfect setup? Xiao Yan was about to think about how to find the Companion Purple Crystal Source and the Sixth-Stage Fire-type Magic Core, and yet, Queen Medusa had conveniently provided both!
"Hurry up, we need to seize the Earth Fire, the barrier won't hold much longer." The old pharmacist pushed Xiao Yan to move faster, suppressing his mixed emotions.
