Snake-People Tribe at the Desert Center (Favorites~Recommendation Votes~Comments~Investment~)

On her exquisite face, a pair of violet eyes stared directly at Mo Yun.

Although this Medusa was not like the one in Mo Yun's previous life, who could turn people to stone at a glance, she possessed the same temperament.

Coldly beautiful, proud!

As that gaze fell upon him, Mo Yun actually felt as though he had lost control of his body.

At this moment, even if he wanted to flee, his body would not obey him.

As for the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake beside him, it had long since been frightened into prostrating itself on the ground, not daring to raise its body in the slightest.

Judging by the way it trembled, it had clearly suffered a severe beating before!

Without saying anything, Medusa Queen merely glanced at Mo Yun before turning back to look at the azure lotus the next moment.

Yet the instant she turned, a ribbon of battle qi swept toward Mo Yun.

That ribbon of battle qi appeared to be a casual attack, but Mo Yun could sense the terror within it. If he took it head-on, he would definitely be finished—there would likely not even be ashes left of him.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's two heads and four eyes were filled with fear and hesitation. If Mo Yun died, it would not necessarily be buried with him, but it would still be affected.

Moreover, though that attack had been casual, even it could not withstand it head-on.

At the moment of life and death, three small dots rapidly appeared in Mo Yun's pupils amid his panic, transforming into three floral patterns as a strange power instantly swept through his body.

At that moment, Mo Yun regained control of his body and, without hesitation, dodged to the side like a Lingmu Sable.

He nearly brushed past the incoming ribbon of battle qi, but when it crashed down, the shockwave from the explosion swept Mo Yun into it.

Gusts of force battered Mo Yun's body, sending waves of pain through his internal organs as he skidded across the ground.

Meanwhile, Medusa Queen, who had been wholly focused on the Azure Lotus Core Flame, shifted her attention from the flame back to the Mo Yun who had fallen and could not rise.

For the first time, she carefully examined the human before her...

Her gaze fell upon Mo Yun's fairly handsome face, especially those resolute eyes.

Around the pupils of his azure eyes, the three floral patterns were still clearly visible, fully caught in Medusa Queen's sight.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she gave a soft cry of surprise. Though her face remained icy, a closer look would reveal that the disgust Medusa Queen's violet eyes had held for humans had already diminished somewhat when she looked at Mo Yun.

Having suffered such a heavy blow, Mo Yun could no longer hold on and unwillingly closed his eyes...

No one knew how long had passed.

When Mo Yun woke again, the first thing he saw was a roof made of stone tiles.

"I'm not dead?" Mo Yun abruptly sat up and blurted out.

At the time, he had tried desperately not to close his eyes. Once he closed them, he might never open them again.

Yet when he woke up and suddenly found himself still alive, how could he not be shocked?

This was a small stone house.

Just as Mo Yun was utterly baffled, the door opened.

A graceful woman entered, dressed revealingly, with only a strip of cloth covering her chest. The only astonishing thing was that her lower body was a snake tail.

Snake women had naturally seductive figures. Especially when they swayed as they walked, their slender waists could instantly stir a man's desire.

"You're awake? I can finally report back to Her Majesty the Queen!" the beautiful snake woman said happily.

Mo Yun could sense that her happiness was genuine, but whether she was happy about the first half of that sentence or the second was open to debate.

However, Mo Yun could be certain of one thing: he truly had not died, and he had even survived at the hands of Medusa Queen!

"Medusa Queen didn't kill me?" Mo Yun voiced the doubt in his heart.

The beautiful snake woman was also somewhat puzzled. "Her Majesty the Queen hates humans the most. Many of our clansmen were curious why Her Majesty did not kill you and instead brought you back. But according to Her Majesty, you are different from other humans. Though you have no tail, you are one of us!"

"Huh? I became one of you?" Mo Yun was dumbfounded. He had somehow become a member of the Snake-People Tribe?

Well, so be it. As long as he could stay alive, anything was fine.

"Her Majesty instructed that she wishes to see you once you awaken," the beautiful snake woman continued.

After briefly freshening up and preparing himself, Mo Yun planned to meet Medusa Queen. During that time, he learned that the beautiful snake woman was named Yue Ya. She was a member of the Charm Snake Tribe, one of the Snake-People Tribe's Eight Great Tribes, and one of the many maids who served Her Majesty the Queen.

Led by Yue Ya, Mo Yun arrived at what the snake people called the Medusa Temple.

It was a simple city, with most of its buildings piled together from stone. Perhaps it was the Snake-People Tribe's style, but there were also many jagged rocks scattered throughout the city.

The snake people they encountered along the way all looked at him with curiosity, just like Yue Ya.

Yet it was only curiosity. They did not display the same negative emotions they held toward humans.

Perhaps this change was because of Medusa's words that he was also a member of the Snake-People Tribe!

Medusa Palace was far more majestic. It was the sort of place one could recognize at a glance anywhere in the city.

Numerous snake people stood guard around the palace. They wore strange garments and stood as straight as pillars. Even their lower tails were coiled at the same angle and in the same direction.

These snake people were not weak either. Nearly all of them were Great Dou Shi, and judging from their bearing, they did not seem to be ordinary Great Dou Shi, but exceptionally outstanding members of the Snake-People Tribe.

Not a single other snake person dared set foot near them. Clearly, they were deeply wary of these strangely dressed snake people.

Even Yue Ya, as she led Mo Yun over, nodded slightly to those oddly dressed snake people before explaining to him, "They are Her Majesty the Queen's personal guards, all peak Great Dou Shi experts. Their captain, Lady Hua She Er, is one of the strongest female warriors of our Snake-People Tribe."

Mo Yun nodded. At this moment, he had no choice but to behave himself. He could not even defeat these peak Great Dou Shi snake people, much less act recklessly here, in Medusa Queen's lair.

Following Yue Ya all the way to Medusa Palace, Mo Yun watched as she extended her jade-like hand and gently knocked on the palace's stone door.

"Come in."

As the heavy knocking faded, a pleasant young woman's voice came from within the palace.

The stone door of the palace opened in response. Yue Ya glanced at Mo Yun and motioned for him to enter, while she remained at the entrance, clearly having no intention of going in with him.

After hesitating at the doorway for a moment, Mo Yun vaguely sensed that there was more than one powerful aura within the palace. Several unfamiliar auras could also faintly be felt.

Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. His heart gradually settled, and Mo Yun raised his foot and stepped inside. As he entered the palace, the stone door slowly closed once more.
