Chapter 47: The Queen's Evolution, a Seductive Scene!
Yue Mei's expression turned unprecedentedly grave.
"Word has come from our clansmen. Among that group, there is a... Sixth Order Flying Magical Beast."
"A Rank 6 Magical Beast?"
"Why have these people suddenly gathered so many powerful experts?"
His expression visibly growing more solemn, the male snake-person called Mo Basi knitted his brows tightly.
"Do we know the strength of the others traveling with that Rank 6 Magical Beast?"
Mo Basi asked in a low voice, his gaze sinister.
"There are two very weak young girls, as well as one youth... My clansmen simply could not see through his strength. They said that person seemed to have no Dou Qi fluctuations at all."
Recalling the information sent by her clansmen, Yue Mei's brows drew together.
She was deeply wary of this mysterious youth capable of taming a Rank 6 Magical Beast.
Mo Basi asked gravely, "Has Your Majesty the Queen been informed? What did she say?"
"She has been informed, but Your Majesty the Queen seemed very calm. She only instructed me to send the intelligence and summon all of you here."
Yue Mei nodded and said helplessly.
Seeing Mo Basi's disbelief, Yue Mei had just been about to close her eyes when her lovely face suddenly changed, and she abruptly rose from her chair.
"They're here!"
Just as Yue Mei sensed those several auras suddenly appearing outside the city, Mo Basi beside her sensed them as well.
His expression immediately darkened. He exchanged a glance with Yue Mei, and the two instantly flashed out of the main hall, their bodies shooting rapidly into the sky.
A moment later, they arrived atop the city walls, which had already entered a state of full alert.
At this moment, beyond the city walls, an enormous Magical Beast hovered in midair, with several figures floating not far in front of it.
The arrivals were none other than Gu He's group. Among them, Yun Yun wore a black robe and was the only Dou Emperor expert Gu He had invited as help.
"Humans, why have you trespassed into our tribe's territory without permission?" Mo Basi shouted angrily.
"Hehe, you must be Chief Mo Basi of the Ink Snake Tribe?"
Gu He slowly stepped forward, smiling as he spoke.
"Who are you?" Mo Basi sneered.
"Hehe, I am Gu He," the middle-aged man said with a faint smile.
"Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire? Heh, that name truly is thunderous."
The name Gu He also caused Yue Mei and Mo Basi some slight surprise.
Although snake-people rarely paid heed to human experts, they had no choice but to give sufficient importance to an alchemy master like Gu He.
For they knew very well what kind of influence an alchemy master of Gu He's caliber possessed.
"Hehe, Chiefs, I have presumptuously come to your tribe only because I have a matter to discuss with the Medusa Queen. Might I ask Your Majesty the Queen to appear so we may speak?" Gu He asked politely with a smile.
"Meet Your Majesty the Queen? Sorry, we cannot pass along that request for you."
Shaking his head, Mo Basi refused without hesitation. "Gu He, you should take your people and leave as soon as possible."
As the two sides remained deadlocked, a figure suddenly emerged from the distorted space in the sky.
The beautiful woman who had appeared so abruptly wore a regal purple brocade robe.
Beneath the brocade robe, her delicate body was full and exquisite, like a ripe peach, exuding a faint allure.
Her long black hair spilled casually from her fragrant shoulders, hanging straight to her slender willow waist. Beneath the brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was exposed, swaying slightly. Its wild, bewitching temptation made one's entire body inexplicably grow hot.
"Medusa Queen!"
With the appearance of this seductive woman, Gu He and the others finally grew somewhat tense.
Even Yun Yun lacked the strength to defeat the infamous Medusa Queen.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
After flying at high speed for some time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King gradually approached Medusa Holy City.
"Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, wait here. I'll be back soon."
Seemingly sensing something, Gu Fei had the Lion King stop and turned back to instruct Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
Xiao Yi Xian felt worried. Emotion Value +100
Qing Lin felt worried. Emotion Value +70
Both girls knew how powerful Gu Fei was, but knowing that he was going alone deep into the holy city inhabited by snake-people who loathed humans, they could not conceal the worry in their hearts.
Gu Fei could only comfort them a few times. After bidding the two girls farewell, he sped away.
He had arrived at just the right time. Outside the holy city, Gu He's group was silently confronting the Medusa Queen.
Seeing that Gu He and his group had seen through the fact that the one outside was merely a phantom of the Medusa Queen, then forcibly barged into the Holy City, Gu Fei chose the right direction, concealed his aura, and infiltrated the Snake-People Tribe's Holy City.
The Medusa Queen had divided the aura of the Heavenly Flame into several portions and placed them in different directions to mislead them, but Gu Fei was quite familiar with Heavenly Flames.
His senses spread across the entire Holy City. His immense spiritual power allowed Gu Fei to quickly pinpoint the true direction, rather than search blindly like Gu He and the others.
Before long, Gu Fei arrived in the eastern part of the city.
A massive Divine Hall slowly came into view.
He completely concealed his aura and, without alerting a single Snake-People guard, silently entered the depths of the Divine Hall as though it were unguarded territory.
At that moment, a small, crystal-clear lake appeared before Gu Fei's eyes.
At the center of the lake was a small island.
Ripples glimmered around the island, with no bridge or path leading to it.
Though the lake appeared calm and seemed easy enough to cross to reach the island at its center, it contained means that forbade flight, and its waters were even highly poisonous.
Gu Fei could have broken through them, but in order not to alert the enemy, he could only endure them head-on.
If it had been anyone else, they would likely have been helpless against the poison in the lake.
Gu Fei, however, directly chose to wrap his body in Heavenly Flame and swim across the lake.
The Sea Heart Flame he had once obtained proved immensely useful in this environment.
The Sea Heart Flame glowed with a dim blue light as it enveloped his body, making Gu Fei seem as though he were burning, yet the water could not extinguish him.
After reaching the island in the lake's center, Gu Fei did not pause and continued forward.
Then, following the guidance of the Heavenly Flame's aura in his senses, he discovered a Bamboo Forest.
The farther he went, the denser the Heavenly Flame's aura became.
At the very center of the island, what Gu Fei saw was completely different from its outskirts.
This was a circular open space.
The surrounding bamboo and flowerbeds had all been cleared away completely.
Only tiny, smooth pebbles were scattered across the ground here.
Within the open area, these pebbles had sunk to form a small pool.
The small pool was filled with crystal-clear liquid, and white mist curled above its surface.
At the center of the pool stood a Lotus Seat carved from strange crystal. Upon it, a cluster of green flames slowly rose.
Gu Fei hid in a corner, concealing every trace of his aura and blending into the surroundings.
He knew that the purpose of his trip lay right there, yet he did not move rashly.
Before long, a seductive figure appeared. It was the Medusa Queen, and she intended to use this Heavenly Flame to burn herself as part of her evolution.
