Queen Medusa!

Queen Medusa!

Snake-People Tribe Holy City.

Medusa Shrine.

Inside the spacious, luxurious hall, a pale-faced snakewoman lay exhausted in a cushioned chair with a backrest, her breathing uneven.

Just then, the sound of something tearing through the air rang out from beyond the hall.

Hearing the commotion, delight surfaced on Yue Mei's anxious face as she immediately turned her gaze outside.

A black shadow shot inside like a ghost.

"Mo Bas, you finally made it!" Yue Mei straightened up from the chair.

"You're injured! Who did this to you?!"

Sensing Yue Mei's weak aura, Mo Bas's expression instantly darkened. "What exactly happened? You actually issued Martial Law and urgently summoned us back!"

He was a powerfully built snake-man, clad in thin clothing draped carelessly over his body. Strange black tattoos covered both arms, especially the two vicious snake heads that seemed ready to burst through his flesh at any moment, exuding a fierce, baleful aura.

Mo Bas, chief of one of the Eight Great Tribes, was also a Dou Wang powerhouse.

"Humans invaded. I was severely injured."

Yue Mei's pupils contracted. Recalling that man's appearance, her eyes filled with intense killing intent.

"Who could have injured you so badly? One of the Gama Empire's Ten Great Powerhouses?"

Mo Bas frowned, his voice carrying an undisguised chill. "How many of them came?"

"Three."

Yue Mei held up three fingers. "But only one of them is formidable. The other two are nothing to fear!"

"Was that one a human Dou Emperor?" Mo Bas asked gravely.

Recalling the earlier battle, Yue Mei nodded. "He had no strange Dou Skills. He suppressed me entirely with Dou Qi! Its sheer depth even surpassed Her Majesty's!"

"Peak Dou Huang?!"

Mo Bas pressed, "Do you know his background?"

Yue Mei shook her head. She had thought he was a human pet she could capture and raise, but who would have thought she would nearly end up as a snake catcher's prey?

Mo Bas pointed in Medusa's direction. "Does Her Majesty know about this?"

"She refuses to see anyone right now. She told us to deal with that man ourselves. I'm no match for him alone, so I urgently summoned you back." Yue Mei sighed.

"Her Majesty isn't showing herself? That doesn't seem like her usual way of doing things." Mo Bas's brow furrowed tightly.

"I suspect Her Majesty encountered some opportunity and is currently in seclusion," Yue Mei guessed.

Outside the Holy City.

Jiang Han and Xiao Yan had forcefully punched through a tribe before finally reaching the Snake-People Tribe Holy City at the center.

Because of Martial Law, the city gates were tightly shut.

On the city walls, fully armed snake-man guards patrolled back and forth.

More than a dozen massive black birds circled overhead.

Since Jiang Han and Xiao Yan had barged in by force, the patrolling birds sounded the alarm the instant they reached the Holy City.

"Everyone, stay alert!"

"Enemies are invading!"

"Javelin Throwers, prepare!"

While Jiang Han was still nearly a hundred meters from the city walls, the wailing alarm sounded.

The next moment.

Hundreds of Medusa guards smeared the venom at their waists onto their javelins, glaring viciously at Jiang Han and Xiao Yan.

"Big Brother, I'll have to trouble you again."

Facing the hundreds of sharp gazes atop the walls, Xiao Yan instinctively looked toward Jiang Han.

It really feels great to rest in the shade of a big tree!

"Shoot those two down!"

On the city wall, a graceful snakewoman gave a cold shout, her beautiful eyes blazing with fury.

The moment she finished speaking, all the fully armed snake-men on the wall shouted in unison.

Their bodies twisted halfway around before abruptly leaning forward. The venom-coated spears in their hands shot through the air, their piercing whistles resounding across the sky.

Jiang Han paid no heed to the poisonous spears raining down upon them.

Just as the spears were about to pierce through them, Jiang Han swung his greatsword.

A blade light dozens of meters long shattered the poisonous spears outright, forcibly carving a safe path before them.

At the same time.

Inside Medusa Shrine.

"It must be that man!"

Hearing the uproar outside the Holy City, Yue Mei ignored her injuries and staggered hurriedly toward the entrance.

Mo Bas beside her sensed it as well, and his expression sank.

Then.

After exchanging glances with Yue Mei, the two flew out of the hall at the same time and appeared atop the city wall.

"My Lords, this human is too strong..."

The snakewoman who had been directing the battle on the wall immediately bowed when she saw Mo Bas and Yue Mei arrive.

But before she could finish, Yue Mei waved a hand to cut her off, her cold eyes fixed firmly ahead.

"You've recovered quite well."

Jiang Han stood with one hand behind his back and waved at Yue Mei with the other, offering a casual greeting.

Meeting Jiang Han's gaze and recalling her injuries, Yue Mei gave a cold snort.

"Human, our tribe reached a truce with yours long ago! Why have you still trespassed into our territory?"

Mo Bas stared coldly at Jiang Han. The Dou Qi Wings behind him flapped as a powerful aura spread outward.

"I came here only because I wanted to borrow something from Medusa for a look."

At this point, Jiang Han's gaze fell on Yue Mei. "Unfortunately, your desert is far from peaceful. I was attacked for no reason at all. To protect myself, I had no choice but to administer a slight punishment."

"You trespassed into our territory and twisted right and wrong. You truly are a villain!!"

Yue Mei clenched her fists, her expression growing increasingly ugly.

If looks could kill.

She would have already torn Jiang Han into ten thousand pieces.

"Do you think you can see our queen whenever you please? If you do not wish to start a war between the human race and our tribe, leave immediately!"

Mo Bas refused without hesitation. "Once the other tribal chiefs arrive, you may not even be able to leave."

"What? You think that once the others arrive, you'll be able to keep me here?"

Jiang Han did not take Mo Bas's threat seriously at all. An oppressive aura burst from his body.

"What transaction do you seek with this Queen?"

Just as Mo Bas was about to speak again, ripples spread through the air directly before him.

As a cool, clear voice drifted through the air, a graceful feminine figure slowly emerged from the ripples, finally appearing clearly beneath countless gazes.

"So this is the Snake-People Tribe's Queen Medusa?!"

Seeing the woman clearly, Xiao Yan could not help crying out.

He had only ever seen the woman above the city wall in portraits before. He had never imagined that one day he would witness her in person.

The woman who had appeared so abruptly wore a regal purple brocade robe.

Beneath it was a full, exquisite, graceful body that radiated a faint charm.

Her long black hair cascaded casually from her fragrant shoulders, falling to her slender willow waist.

Most eye-catching of all was the exposed purple snake tail. As it swayed, its wild, enchanting allure made people lose themselves for no reason.
