Chapter 12 Accepting the Invitation
At this moment, facing Queen Medusa, who had a fierce aura and a human body with a snake tail, Han Cheng did not feel attracted by the exotic style at all. His mind was full of thoughts of pretending to be calm and wanting to save his life and the strange fire.
Han Cheng was even thinking in his heart whether he should put down the strange fire first and return to the academy to ask for help.
With his teacher's connections and Han Cheng's potential, he is confident that he can invite at least four Douhuang masters at the peak level and more than ten Douwang masters.
Han Cheng was not familiar with the Great Elder Su Qian. He had been practicing since entering the inner courtyard and had not had the chance to come into contact with the Great Elder.
Han Cheng had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, but on the surface he appeared neither humble nor arrogant, and was full of confidence, which made Queen Medusa, the most powerful woman in the Gama Empire, also weigh the pros and cons for a moment.
Canaan Academy is a veritable behemoth around the Gama Empire. It has been able to stand for many years in such a chaotic place like the Black Horn Region, so it must be someone who is not to be trifled with.
If it was just an ordinary student, it would be fine. Canaan Academy might not pursue the matter to the end just because of an ordinary student. But this person is a disciple of an elder alchemist, which is like a hornet's nest to Queen Medusa.
A Douhuang strongman, if Medusa was alone, she could have killed Han Cheng and left with the strange fire. But there was a snakeman behind her, so the monk could escape but the temple could not.
"Such a young Dou Wang strongman must be highly respected. If he escapes after I take action, the Snake People may not be able to withstand the revenge that will follow..."
With this thought, Medusa's aura gradually calmed down, and a charming voice rang out: "What is the name of this young alchemist?"
This voice made people feel weak all over. If it were someone else, they would be terrified after hearing this voice, but unfortunately Han Cheng was not an ordinary person.
"Han Cheng, Cheng means honest, a fifth-rank alchemist." Han Cheng understood what Medusa meant. She didn't want to fight with him.
Medusa's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she looked at Han Cheng, the human boy, and her heart skipped a beat again.
"So it's Master Han. I wonder if you can lend me the strange fire in Master Han's hand?"
"Borrow? Queen Medusa, are you really a snake person who wants to borrow the strange fire?" Han Cheng pretended not to know. He wanted to see if Medusa was sincere.
I don't have to tell everything, but at least I have to come up with a decent reason, and then we can talk.
When Medusa heard Han Cheng ask this question, she felt conflicted, but when she saw the other person's young face, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Master Han, my snake people have a secret method that allows us to evolve when we reach the peak of Dou Huang. If the evolution is successful, I can break through Dou Huang and become a Dou Zong powerhouse, and this strange fire is an indispensable thing."
"Master Han, please come to my Snake Tribe as a guest for a month. If I succeed, I can help you do one thing unconditionally. If you fail, I can also ensure that you can leave safely with the strange fire. During this period, the snake tribe's pill formula and medicinal materials can be used by the master."
"..." Han Cheng didn't expect that the queen of the Snake People, a top Douhuang warrior, would be so frank with him.
These conditions were already very good, and Han Cheng felt that if he didn't know what was best for him in this situation, he would be in danger of death today.
They have the power to kill you, and they've given you face, so just take it easy...
"Okay, since Her Majesty the Queen is so frank, I will just follow the host's wishes." Han Cheng smiled and nodded to accept Queen Medusa's invitation.
The two flew one after the other into the depths of the desert.
On the way, looking at the endless yellow sand, Han Cheng began to appreciate this Medusa.
A responsible and hardworking tribe leader. "Your Majesty, I also know some information about your evolution with strange fire. It is said that the success rate is very low. If you believe in me, why don't you wait for two years and I will refine a sect-breaking pill for you?"
Facing Han Cheng's suggestion, Medusa just took a deep look at the young boy, shook her head and said, "I have been stuck at the peak of Douhuang for too long. The Douzong promoted by ordinary means cannot give me the power I want."
"Is that so? Thank you for your advice." Han Cheng glanced at the tail with colorful scales behind Medusa and remembered the Warcraft's fanatical pursuit of the transformation pill.
Obviously, starting from Dou Zong, the speed of human cultivation has far surpassed that of Warcraft.
The same goes for the snake people. If Medusa wants to continue to possess powerful strength after becoming a Dou Zong, she must evolve and break the shackles of her bloodline so that she can transform into a human form.
If it still maintains its half-human, half-snake appearance, its future cultivation speed will be very slow, and it is not impossible for it to be surpassed by young and powerful human beings.
For a person as strong-willed as Medusa, if she becomes mediocre, it would be better for her to die!
"Alas, every family has its own troubles..." Han Cheng sighed in his heart. Perhaps only those beasts and plants without thoughts can be truly carefree...
The strong have their own worries, and the rich have their own worries, but compared to the worries of ordinary people about having enough food and clothing, the worries of the former two can be said to be caused by their greed.
With Han Cheng's speed as a six-star Dou Wang, making rapid progress is a piece of cake.
There were breaks on the way, during which the two of them just had some ordinary conversations and didn't say much.
Han Cheng did not ask how Medusa discovered him. He knew without thinking that it was because his actions were too conspicuous and he did not cover them up at all.
People were originally looking for strange fire, so they must be very sensitive to strange fire.
During these few days, the two of them got along quite well, mainly because the college life that Han Cheng talked about made Medusa yearn for it.
At the invitation of Queen Medusa, Han Cheng "voluntarily" came to the holy city of the snake people and received the highest level of hospitality.
The Queen's Guards became Han Cheng's personal bodyguards, and Hua She'er, the powerful Dou Wang, became Han Cheng's personal butler.
Seeing Hua Sheer obey Medusa's orders so well, Han Cheng felt relieved.
"A Dou Zong expert, maybe I can raise the price a little bit..." Thinking of those guys in the Black Horn Region, Han Cheng felt that he needed a helper who could help deal with those garbage.
The teachers represent the academy and cannot take the initiative, but Han Cheng is different, he is still a child!
Han Cheng went straight to the snake people's treasure house where medicinal herbs were stored. Except for low-level medicinal herbs, he did not miss any other ones.
Hua She'er's eyelids twitched when she saw Han Cheng's actions, but when she thought that this was a distinguished guest invited by Her Majesty the Queen, she didn't say anything.
After taking another million gold coins, Han Cheng asked for a place where he could make medicine in peace and quiet.
The fragrance of the elixir that spread throughout the entire holy city of the snake people for three consecutive days not only convinced the bodyguards, but also made Queen Medusa somewhat glad of her previous decision.
Two days later, Queen Medusa looked at the pills in front of her and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"To feed the pigs."
