Chapter 226 Medusa's Anxiety
Xiao Ling walked out of the training room slowly. With a gentle wave of his hand, the figure of the Heavenly Demon Puppet dissipated like smoke and was stored in his ring.
The door slowly opened, and the sunlight and fresh air poured in, illuminating the view in front of him.
Xiao Ling said to himself, "Is it breakfast already? I don't know how much time has passed. I'll go ask Xian'er later."
He stepped out of the door, and in front of him was an open courtyard. Zi Yan, Qing Lin, Medusa and Xiao Yixian were chatting in the pavilion, obviously waiting for Xiao Ling.
Zi Yan hurried back from the snake tribe early in the morning. Although the two days she spent with Medusa were full of unfulfilled memories, she was always concerned about the agreement with Xiao Ling.
Medusa followed to see Zi Yan off. Since good sisters are leaving, of course they have to say goodbye properly.
When Xiao Ling appeared in the courtyard, everyone's eyes were focused on him. The sunlight sprinkled on him, adding a bit of mystery and elegance to him.
Xiao Yixian couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked first: "Xiao Ling, was the process of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet smooth? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Xiao Ling smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with confidence, and his voice was filled with a hint of ease and pride: "Difficult? With my level, refining a Heavenly Demon Puppet is not a piece of cake."
As he spoke, Xiao Ling waved his hand lightly, and a silver light flashed from his ring, and the burly body of the Earth Demon Puppet slowly appeared under the sunlight. The silver-white metallic luster flowed in the air, like a fine work of art, exuding a heart-pounding sense of power.
Zi Yan walked forward and curiously knocked on the body of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, making a few crisp sounds, and then said: "This one is similar to the last one, and it's also quite hard."
Qing Lin walked around the Heavenly Demon Puppet. With the Green Snake Three Flower Pupil, he had an extremely sharp perception and could capture subtle differences that others could not perceive.
She pondered for a moment, then said: "Although this one looks similar to the last one, I can feel that it seems to be slightly inferior in strength compared to the last one."
Xiao Ling nodded, he did not deny this: "This is natural, the materials used last time were more rare, and the strength of the soul was also stronger. But even so, the strength of this Earth Demon Puppet is about five-star Dou Zong, which is enough to deal with most troubles in the northwest continent. For the Xiao family, it will be a powerful guardian."
Medusa sat aside. After listening to Xiao Ling's introduction to the Sky Demon Puppet, her pupils shrank slightly, and a shock surged in her heart.
The powerful aura exuded by the puppet in front of her far exceeded her expectations. She didn't expect that Xiao Ling could refine a puppet with the strength of a five-star Dou Zong in such a short time.
Although Medusa had heard about Xiao Ling's recent puppet-making when chatting with Xiao Yixian and others, and learned some of the general information about refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet, she was still overwhelmed with surprise when she saw the heroic appearance of the Heavenly Demon Puppet with her own eyes.
Medusa thought to herself, "If the Snake People can have such a powerful puppet, the tribe will be fearless and can stand up straight in the face of any strong enemy, and the safety of the tribe will be unprecedentedly guaranteed."
A glimmer of desire flashed across Medusa's eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood and said to Xiao Ling in an appreciative tone: "Master Xiao Ling is really amazing. He can refine a puppet of this strength in a short time. The power of this Heavenly Demon Puppet is indeed unbelievable. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe it was true."
She paused and continued, "I wonder if Master Xiao Ling can continue to refine such a puppet? As long as Master Xiao Ling can refine it, our snake people are willing to provide all resources in exchange. "
Xiao Ling shook his head gently, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Queen Medusa, I understand your feelings, but the materials needed to refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet are extremely precious and difficult to obtain. I have already used up my own stock, and I can't refine it even if I want to. "
After a slight pause, Xiao Ling continued to ask: "Does the snake people have stocks of Dou Zong-level bodies and seventh-level magic beasts? If the snake people have these main materials for refining puppets, I am willing to help you refine such a puppet. "
Although he asked this question, Xiao Ling did not hold too much hope. He had visited the treasure house of the snake people before, and did not find any treasures related to these two. Moreover, with the little wealth of the snake people, the precious metals for tempering the Heavenly Demon Puppet may not be gathered.
Hearing these materials, Medusa showed some helplessness on her face. The body of a Dou Zong and the magic core of a seventh-level magic beast are undoubtedly unattainable treasures for the Snake People.
I am a Dou Zong level, so do I have to sacrifice the body of the Snake People Queen to refine a puppet? This is obviously unrealistic.
"Master Xiao Ling, these materials are indeed difficult for us to obtain." Medusa sighed and said helplessly, "Although our Snake People have some savings, it is almost impossible to find a Dou Zong body and a seventh-level magic core."
After finishing speaking, Medusa's eyes flashed with anxiety, but she quickly calmed down and continued to speak to Xiao Ling in a hopeful tone: "Master Xiao Ling, I understand the preciousness and importance of materials. It’s rare. But if the Snake Clan faces a huge threat, can we temporarily borrow this Celestial Demon Puppet? We will definitely provide a generous reward as a reward for borrowing this puppet.”
Xiao Ling wanted to refuse directly. This Heavenly Demon Puppet was originally refined for the Xiao family. He had no intention of using it himself, let alone lending it to others. If the use of this Heavenly Demon Puppet provoked anyone with ulterior motives, This is not what Xiao Ling wants to see.
However, when he turned his eyes to Medusa and saw the eager expectation in her eyes, as well as Zi Yan's eyes signaling to him, Xiao Ling softened a bit and did not refuse directly.
Xiao Ling can also understand Medusa's mood. His voice was calm and firm, and he said slowly: "I understand your worries, but lending the Sky Demon Puppet is not something that can be decided casually. If its power is easily noticed by others, it may even bring trouble to me." We also need to be wary of the covetousness of powerful people. The situation in the northwest continent is complicated and far from being as simple as the outside world thinks. There are many forces lurking here, including many powerful people with Dou Zun level, such as the Sky Snake, the dominant force of the Sky Snake Empire. The owner of the mansion is a very hidden Dou Zun."
When Medusa heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she also noticed that Xiao Ling's words were not completely rejected, so she asked softly: "Then if the snake people really encountered an unmatched disaster, can we request The Xiao family’s protection?”
Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "If there is such a day, you can lead the snake people to take refuge in the Xiao family."
Hearing Xiao Ling's promise, Medusa's nervousness was finally relieved. She was full of gratitude to Xiao Ling, "Master Xiao Ling, your generous rescue will be remembered by the snake people."
She turned to Zi Yan aside and cast an affectionate and grateful glance. Medusa knew in her heart that if it weren't for the deep relationship between Zi Yan and Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling might not be so dedicated to helping the snake people.
Ever since she learned that the Three Kingdoms Alliance had unfavorable intentions against the Snake People and the Garma Empire, Medusa had been filled with a haze.
As the queen of the snake people, she finally gained her current strength after going through many hardships. She led her people to find a suitable habitat and gradually accumulated a certain amount of strength. Facing the coming war and turmoil, she was filled with unwillingness and anxiety.
Medusa knew very well that she was responsible for the future and hope of the ethnic group, and she could not tolerate all of this being easily destroyed. She is determined to find more protection and support for the tribe to ensure that the snake people can survive in the unpredictable situation on the mainland.
Zi Yan felt the deep meaning in Medusa's eyes, and she responded with an encouraging smile. Zi Yan was still very happy that she could help Medusa.
Seeing this, Xiao Ling also added: "Medusa, there is no need to say thank you between you and me. Zi Yan is our common friend. If something happens to the snake people, she will also be sad."
After a slight pause in his words, he continued, "And you don't have to be too impatient. According to the intelligence I obtained previously, the Three Kingdoms Alliance originally planned to take action against the Jiama Empire and the Snake People after two years. During this period , as long as you make full use of the elixirs I refined for the Snake People, these elixirs will greatly help improve the overall strength of your Snake People. "
After listening to Xiao Ling's words, Medusa finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on her face gradually relaxed. She nodded slightly, and the anxiety surging in her heart melted quietly like ice and snow in spring.
Xiao Ling's words did have profound meaning. Although Medusa did not fully grasp the specific situation of Yunlan Sect, she also collected some key information through her own channels.
She learned that Jia Xingtian, a member of the royal family, and Hai Bodong, whom she had beaten up decades ago, were each lucky enough to receive a sect-breaking pill from Xiao Ling. If these two people could successfully break through to the Douzong realm with the help of the elixir, including herself, the alliance between the Snake Tribe and the Gama Empire would have three Douzong-level experts.
With such combat power, facing the threat of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the snake people at least have a certain ability to protect themselves.
"Yes, I am indeed too impatient." Medusa thought to herself, "As the queen of the snake people, I must remain calm and rational at all times and cannot be swayed by temporary emotions. The future and safety of the snake people are all at stake. It's tied to me alone, so I can't easily reveal any flaws and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it. "
She took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and then said to Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, your reminder made me realize. I was indeed a little too hasty. The snake people have an ally like you, which is really ours." Lucky."
There was a hint of joking in Xiao Ling's words, but there was also a deep meaning. He looked at Medusa, who was gradually calming down, and added with a smile: "Of course, if one day you, Medusa, really get a Douzong-level body, then I am willing to help you Snake Clan refine a Celestial Demon Puppet.”
After Medusa heard Xiao Ling's half-true joke, a relaxed smile broke out on her face. She knew in her heart that Xiao Ling's words were probably meant to be ridiculing. The current strength of the snake people was indeed difficult to match the Douzong-level body.
However, she still kept this promise in her heart. After all, the world is unpredictable and the future is full of variables. Once the war breaks out, she may really have a chance to kill a Dou Zong on the battlefield.
For example, Yan Luotian, the leader of the Jinyan Sect of the Luoyan Empire, has only reached the initial Dou Zong level, not much stronger than herself. With some tricks, she may really be able to kill him.
"Master Xiao Ling, since you have said these words, I, Medusa, will remember them." She responded in a firm tone, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes, "Although the snake people do not have that kind of strength at present, the future is full of infinite possibilities. Who can know the future development? However, if the snake people really get a Dou Zong body, Master Xiao Ling should not refuse."
Listening to Medusa's words and observing her somewhat intriguing expression, Xiao Ling could probably guess some of her thoughts. Medusa must have taken his words seriously and really wanted to get a Dou Zong body by herself.
Xiao Ling thought to himself that it seemed that the queen of the snake people was seriously considering how to seize the opportunity to kill a Dou Zong-level strongman when the war broke out, so as to get a Dou Zong body.
However, Xiao Ling did not care too much about this matter. Although his previous words were mostly joking, if the snake people could really get a Dou Zong-level body, it would not be a big problem for him to help Medusa refine a Heavenly Demon Puppet.
With his current wealth, providing a seventh-level magic core is just a drop in the bucket. The Dou Zun ruins found in the Warcraft Mountains outside Canaan College and the precious gains exchanged from the Canaan College treasure house, although the number of seventh-level magic cores in Xiao Ling's hands did not reach double digits, there were still seven or eight.
Therefore, if he really wants to help the Snake People refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet, providing a magic core is just a gift to Zi Yan's friend.
Xiao Ling nodded gently, a smile appeared on his lips, and his tone was relaxed and sincere: "Medusa, if the Snake People can really obtain a Dou Zong body, I, Xiao Ling, will fulfill my promise and refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet to help. However, I still have to remind you that everything must be done within your ability. The future of the Snake People cannot be separated from you, the wise queen."
