Snake-People Tribe

After devouring the Strange Fire, Huo Xuan set out for the Snake-People settlement in the Tagor Desert. This time, his target was the Medusa Queen.

Medusa possessed the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. In the original story, she had successfully evolved into a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python using the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Later, she found the souls of numerous Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons within the Nine Nether Yellow Springs and, after receiving their inheritance, successfully evolved into a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

The Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was a legendary magical beast. There was no reason not to recruit it.

Snake People were naturally fond of living in cold, damp places. The fundamental reason they lived in the great desert was that the Jia Ma Empire had too many powerful human experts, and the Snake People could not defeat the humans.

Medusa's own attribute conflicted with Strange Fire. The reason she had dared to risk her life devouring a Strange Fire was to evolve herself and successfully break through to Dou Zong, so she could lead the Snake People out of the Tagor Desert.

Recruiting the Medusa Queen was actually very simple. The Flame Clan had quite a bit of territory in the Central Plains. Huo Xuan merely needed to discuss it with the clan leader, give the Snake People a suitable territory to live in, and promise to protect them.

"Who goes there?!" Huo Xuan had barely flown to the outskirts of the Snake-People Royal City when the guards discovered him.

"Tell your queen to come out!" Huo Xuan shouted at the guards below, while releasing the aura of a Dou Huang.

"A Dou Huang expert!" The guard was startled. His eyes filled with wariness as he looked at Huo Xuan. Judging by the aura Huo Xuan had just released, he was no weak Dou Huang.

"May I ask what business you have with our Snake People?" A pleasant voice suddenly drifted over from afar.

A beautiful woman appeared before Huo Xuan. She wore a regal purple brocade robe, beneath which her exquisite, voluptuous body was as ripe and full as a mature peach, exuding a faint, seductive charm. Her long black hair cascaded casually from her fragrant shoulders to her slender waist. Beneath the brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was exposed, swaying slightly. Its wild, bewitching allure inexplicably made one's entire body burn hot.

Huo Xuan's gaze swept across her nearly perfect body before finally settling on her beautiful face. His heart trembled fiercely. Seeing this woman in person, Huo Xuan finally understood why so many people near the Tagor Desert said that the Medusa Queen's beauty was enough to rival her fearsome reputation.

The Medusa Queen's gaze swept over the group before her. The young man at their head was a Five Star Dou Huang, while the two people standing at his sides could actually remain suspended in the air. Their strength was at least at the Dou Zong level.

The Medusa Queen knew very well what Dou Zong experts represented! It was no exaggeration to say that if they harbored malicious intentions, the Snake People would cease to exist from this day onward!

"Don't be so nervous. I only came to the Snake People to make a deal with the queen. Won't the queen invite us inside for a seat?" Huo Xuan said calmly.

"Please follow me."

Inside the Snake-People Royal Palace, Medusa sat high upon her throne and looked at Huo Xuan below. "May I ask what deal you wish to discuss with my Snake People?"

"I want you to submit to me and become my subordinate."

At those words, the Medusa Queen was stunned. Earlier, she had noticed that the two experts, each at least a Dou Zong, were very respectful toward this young man. They were clearly in a superior-subordinate relationship. He already had such experts as subordinates, so what use did he have for her?

Suddenly, the Medusa Queen looked at Huo Xuan with instinctive vigilance. She had heard that some perverted humans liked buying Snake Women as playthings. Could it be that he wanted to...

Huo Xuan noticed the odd look in the Medusa Queen's eyes and explained, "You needn't worry. I'm only interested in your bloodline. I discovered that you possess a trace of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's bloodline. If you can evolve successfully, you will be of great help to both me and the force behind me."

After hearing Huo Xuan's words, the Medusa Queen sighed in relief. So this fellow merely wanted to recruit her.

Huo Xuan continued, "If you agree to become my subordinate, I can promise you three things. First, I can allow your Snake People to leave the Tagor Desert. Second, I can provide your Snake People with abundant cultivation resources, increasing your strength severalfold. Third, in the future, I can help you become a Dou Sheng expert."

Every one of the three conditions Huo Xuan offered was highly tempting. The Medusa Queen had no reason to refuse.

"I still need to discuss this matter with the elders of my tribe. Could you please wait a few days?"

"No problem. I'm not in a hurry. Discuss it quickly over the next few days. I'll wait for your answer."
