In the spacious and luxurious hall, a graceful figure leaned slightly tired against the back of a chair. Occasionally, her languid gaze would sweep over the empty purple crystal throne on the high platform, causing her to shake her head helplessly. She rubbed her smooth forehead with delicate hands, and suddenly a hint of joy flashed across her beautiful face as she looked outside the hall. A jet-black shadow darted in like lightning.
“Finally made it…” The woman sighed in relief at the sight of the black shadow entering the hall.
“Yue Mei, what has happened? You issued three consecutive curfews? Are those humans very strong?” The figure entering the hall was clearly a male serpent person. His physique was slightly robust, and he wore a thin shirt casually, with strange black tattoos covering his arms. At the wrists, the tattoos revealed two menacing black snake heads, which seemed to be about to burst out at any moment, exuding a sinister aura.
Glancing at this male serpent person, who held a similar status in the tribe, Yue Mei let out a light sigh, straightened her waist, and her voluptuous figure became more prominent. “Very strong… I encountered them last night and had to retreat. I think they should be around the temple by now.”
“Oh? Do you know their exact strength?” The eyes of the male serpent person, Mo Bas, narrowed, and he walked to the spacious table and sat down, his voice carrying a hint of coldness that was hard to conceal.
“One Battle Emperor, three Dou Wangs, four Dou Lings,” Yue Mei murmured, her red lips pouting. “Mo Bas, it seems we have some trouble this time.”
“How did these guys suddenly gather so many strong ones?” Mo Bas’s expression turned serious, and he asked, “Did you inform the Queen? What did she say?”
“I informed her, but Her Majesty seems calm. She only asked me to send the intelligence and call you all here,” Yue Mei nodded helplessly.
“These people must have come to the desert for a reason, right?” Mo Bas pondered for a moment, somewhat puzzled.
“Last night, when I confronted them, they mentioned wanting to see the Queen…”
“See the Queen?” Mo Bas was taken aback. Weren’t these humans usually the most afraid of Her Majesty?
“I don’t know what they’re up to… Before, they couldn’t run away fast enough, but now they’re fighting to get in. Must be their brains are squeezed,” Yue Mei sneered softly.
Frowning, Mo Bas stood up and said, “I need to see the Queen. We should clarify the situation.”
“Don’t go. Her Majesty is not seeing anyone. Even I didn’t see her. All messages were relayed by Captain Flower Snake of the Medusa Serpent Guard.” Yue Mei curled her lip and snuggled into the chair, like a lazy beauty snake.
“The Queen is not appearing? That’s unusual. This isn’t like her usual style.” Mo Bas’s brow furrowed, and he said suspiciously, “I’ll try.”
Seeing that Mo Bas did not believe her, Yue Mei shrugged indifferently. Just as she was about to close her eyes, her pretty face suddenly changed, and she sprang from the chair. Her long, narrow eyes gazed coldly at the sky outside the hall, and she said coldly, “They’re here!”
At the same moment, Mo Bas also sensed the presence of several powerful auras outside the city. He and Yue Mei exchanged a look and instantly flashed out of the hall, soaring into the sky. In a few moments, they arrived on the city wall, which was already under curfew.
High above the city, a huge beast floated in mid-air, with several figures hovering nearby. The terrifying auras emanated from these figures. The figures approached the city at a steady pace, stopping just beyond the range of the spearmen on the wall.
As the group paused, two shadows slowly rose from the city wall. Mo Bas’s cold voice, filled with frost, echoed through the sky: “Humans, why do you intrude upon our territory without permission? If you do not want to provoke a war between the Empire and the Serpent People, I advise you to return whence you came!”
“Haha, this must be Chief Mo Bas of the Black Snake Tribe, correct?” A middle-aged man with an extraordinary presence stepped forward from the group, smiling.
“Who are you?” Flapping his energy wings, Mo Bas’s icy gaze swept over the man, and he smirked.
“Haha, I am Gu He!” The middle-aged man smiled, undisturbed by Mo Bas’s gaze.
“Gu He? Haha… It really is him.” Hearing the clear voice from the sky, Xiao Yan, who was hiding in a crevice, let out a long breath. Glancing up, he watched the man who, even facing a thousand soldiers, spoke with ease, and shook his head, acknowledging the man’s strength and pride.
“Gu He, the Dan King of the Jia Ma Empire? His name is legendary,” Yue Mei and Mo Bas were also slightly surprised. Though they rarely acknowledged human strength, they respected masters like Gu He, knowing their influence.
“Haha, esteemed leaders, we come uninvited only to speak with Queen Medusa. May we request her presence?” Gu He politely asked.
“Meet the Queen? Sorry, we cannot relay your request.” Mo Bas shook his head, refusing outright. “Gu He, you should leave while you can. Our eight tribes are converging on the temple. You know how much some of them despise humans. Soon, you may not have the chance to leave.”
“Hehe, old river, you haven’t changed. Why waste words? Let’s just smash the city and see if she comes out…” Yan Shi, hearing Mo Bas, stepped forward and mocked.
“Hmph, so it’s you, the muscle-brained lion…” Mo Bas’s cold eyes glanced at Yan Shi, and he sneered, recognizing him.
“Hehe, you, the black-skinned rotten snake, are no better. If you hadn’t fled, you’d have been replaced as the leader of the Black Snake Tribe!” Yan Shi laughed, “How much have you grown over the years?”
“You can come and find out…” Mo Bas’s sharp pupils glinted with cold, and he said coldly.
“Enough, old lion, stop bickering,” Gu He shook his head, waving to stop Yan Shi. He scanned the city and took a deep breath, then shouted, his voice carried by his dou qi, resounding throughout the city.
“Queen Medusa, I am Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire. I come not to start a war, but to discuss matters with you. Please grant us an audience!”
Seeing Gu He’s actions, Yue Mei and Mo Bas frowned, but did not stop him. It would indeed be better if the Queen appeared. With her power, if the others tried to fight, they would suffer the consequences.
The booming voice rumbled through the city, gradually fading after a while. The city remained silent, and after a moment, there was still no response. Gu He’s brow furrowed, but just as he was about to shout again, the space above the city wall distorted strangely.
Seeing this, Gu He and the others were startled. Except for the silent, black-robed figure, they all stepped back, watching the twisting space intently.
The sunset cast its rays on the twisted space, and in the next instant, a graceful, curvaceous figure slowly appeared before countless eyes. The beautiful woman, wearing an elegant purple robe, revealed a voluptuous, luscious figure, like a ripe peach, exuding a faint allure. Her long, black hair flowed freely over her shoulders and down to her slender waist, and beneath the robe, a purple snake tail peeked out, swaying with a wild, enchanting allure that made one’s body inexplicably hot.
Xiao Yan’s gaze swept over the nearly perfect figure, finally settling on her beautiful face, and his heart quivered. Seeing her in person, Xiao Yan understood why so many people in the desert said that the Queen’s beauty was on par with her ferocity. Such a woman could only be described as enchantingly beautiful, yet beneath that beauty lay a queen’s dignity and elegance. This charm reminded Xiao Yan of the beautiful woman in the Magic Beast Mountains who dared to fight the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King…
Such women possessed a regal and elegant aura. Compared to her, Yue Mei, who had once impressed Xiao Yan, seemed to pale in comparison.
“Queen!” As the enchanting woman appeared, a crowd of serpent people on the city wall immediately knelt, their voices filled with reverence piercing the sky.
Looking at the Medusa Queen in the sky, Mo Bas’s cold face showed a hint of infatuation and deep love.
“Is she the Medusa Queen, whose fearsome reputation shakes the neighboring empires?” Looking at the enchanting purple-robed beauty in the sky, Xiao Yan let out a soft sigh and muttered.
