"Queen Medusa?"
At those words, a strange gleam flashed through Xiao Yan's eyes. He had heard of Queen Medusa when he met Hai Bodong earlier. Her strength ranked among the very best of the Dou Huang experts.
"Big brother, if it really is Queen Medusa, what is she doing in Stone Desert City? Could the Snake-People be planning to wage war on the Jiama Empire?" Xiao Li analyzed, his brows slightly furrowed.
"That shouldn't be the case. The Snake-People Tribe is stronger than the Jiama Empire, but several other empires border the desert. How would the Snake-People Tribe dare make a rash move?" Xiao Ding shook his head at Xiao Li's speculation.
"Teacher, is Queen Medusa passing through, or is she staying nearby?" Xiao Yan suddenly asked Yao Lao.
"She isn't traveling. Her aura is confined to a very small area. It seems to be the flame region marked on the map Hai Bodong gave you earlier!" Yao Lao shook his head as he answered.
"What would Queen Medusa be doing there? Could she want to obtain a Heavenly Flame too?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.
"That shouldn't be possible. Snake-People blood flows through Queen Medusa's veins, and her innate affinity leans toward cold yin. She should be avoiding something like a Heavenly Flame at all costs!" Yao Lao shook his head at Xiao Yan's guess.
"I still think Medusa's appearance there has something to do with a Heavenly Flame... big brother, second brother, let's go take a look!"
Xiao Yan spoke to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
"All right, let's see what Queen Medusa is up to."
At his words, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Yao Lao could only retreat helplessly into the Storage Ring.
