"Elder Snake Ji, continue with the external threats!"
Inside the palace.
After pondering for a moment, Queen Medusa spoke slowly.
At her words, Great Elder Snake Ji and the leaders, including Yue Mei, Mo Bass, and Yin Shi, all looked surprised.
Her Majesty had a way to deal with those elders?!
They knew those three elders well. They were stubborn old fossils; trying to reason with them was practically like playing a lute to a cow.
And using force against them was hardly realistic either.
All three elders were Dou Emperor experts. Though they were only low-level Dou Emperors, a Dou Emperor was still a Dou Emperor. Their strength was nothing to scoff at.
Even if Her Majesty could defeat all three, it would do the Snake-People Tribe no good. It might even invite an invasion from outside enemies, endangering the entire tribe.
Did Queen Medusa have a solution?!
Of course...
Not!
Medusa's solution was simple: leave it to Chen Xuan.
Medusa's thinking went like this.
Chen Xuan and I share one body now. You could even say we're the same person. My problems are your problems, so of course you have to help me solve them.
Chen Xuan caused this problem in the first place, so naturally, it's his problem to solve.
"Great Elder Snake Ji, come tomorrow, and I'll give you a way to deal with the three elders."
A sharp gleam flashed in Queen Medusa's eyes as she spoke to Elder Snake Ji.
Chen Xuan, that's what you get for always causing me so much trouble!
You can deal with every last one of these problems!
"Elder Snake Ji, continue with your solution to the external threats!"
Looking at Elder Snake Ji, Queen Medusa spoke again.
"Your Majesty, you must know the Snake-People Tribe's geographical circumstances very well. The Tagor Desert is incredibly barren and unsuitable for survival."
"We must expand and obtain more resources."
Looking at Queen Medusa, Elder Snake Ji said gravely, "We must prepare for battle against the Jia Ma Imperial Family."
"Your Majesty is powerful. Even against Jia Xingtian, a Peak Dou Emperor, you have a chance of victory."
"As long as we conquer the entire Jia Ma Empire, our Snake-People Tribe can rise again."
Snake Ji's eyes burned with fervor as she looked at Queen Medusa.
At the same time, Yue Mei, Mo Bass, Yin Shi, and the other Snake-People Tribe leaders were fired up as well.
They had all witnessed Her Majesty's strength that day-that tremendous combat prowess, that power to shatter space.
They believed that even Jia Xingtian, a Peak Dou Emperor, would probably be no match for Her Majesty.
Seeing the fervent expressions of Elder Snake Ji and the leaders present, Medusa could not help feeling a headache coming on.
That power comparable to a Peak Dou Emperor's was not hers!
Besides, even if Medusa possessed such tremendous strength, she would not entertain that idea.
Because the issue between the Snake-People Tribe and the Jia Ma Empire was not a gap in strength, but a difference in race.
If they were humans, there would be no problem. They could simply wipe out the Jia Ma Imperial Family and rule supreme themselves!
The crucial point was that they were not humans. They were the Snake-People Tribe.
If the Snake-People Tribe attacked the Jia Ma Empire, they would not merely be declaring war on the Jia Ma Imperial Family, but on every human in the empire.
The Jia Ma Empire's experts could accept an Imperial Family of fellow humans ruling the country, but they would never allow outsiders like the Snake-People Tribe to rule it.
If the Snake-People Tribe declared war on the Jia Ma Empire, they would face every expert in the entire empire!
When that happened, even with five Dou Emperors and eight Dou Wangs, the Snake-People Tribe would be finished.
"I understand Elder Snake Ji's and the leaders' views!"
Looking at everyone below, Medusa remained calm before changing tack. "However, I do not agree with this idea!"
What?!!
Everyone present froze, their faces filling with disbelief.
Her Majesty had actually rejected the proposal?!
Previously, Her Majesty had always wanted to lead the entire Snake-People Tribe out of the Tagor Desert.
Now that they had Great Elder Snake Ji's support, their hopes had grown immensely.
Yet Her Majesty had refused to attack the Jia Ma Empire?!
"Everyone, our Snake-People Tribe is indeed a formidable force. My strength has improved somewhat, and with Great Elder Snake Ji and all the leaders supporting me, we are certainly powerful."
"If we add the other three elders, the Jia Ma Imperial Family would be no match for us."
Looking at everyone, Medusa got straight to the point. "But we are the Snake-People Tribe. Our bodies are inherently different from humans', and humans will not accept us."
"If we truly attack the Jia Ma Imperial Family, I'm afraid we will face every expert in the entire Jia Ma Empire!"
This...
Hearing Queen Medusa's words, everyone nodded slightly.
That was indeed true!
But...
If they did not move against the Jia Ma Empire, the Snake-People Tribe would have virtually no opportunity to develop.
There was nothing but desert here, with no resources at all!
Difficult. It was simply too difficult!
Everyone present wore an ugly expression.
Did that mean their Snake-People Tribe had no way to rise?!
"However... I do have an idea!"
Only when she felt the time was right did Queen Medusa speak.
"Your Majesty, what is it?!" Great Elder Snake Ji's expression changed, and she asked with some urgency.
Their Snake-People Tribe was now caught between a rock and a hard place!
Even if there was only a sliver of a chance, they had to try.
At her words, Yue Mei and the others also looked expectant.
"Relocation!"
"Move the entire Snake-People Tribe somewhere rich in resources."
Relocation!
Everyone froze at first, then immediately grew solemn.
Relocate the Snake-People Tribe?!
That was an exceptionally bold decision!
It meant abandoning the place the Snake-People Tribe had built up for hundreds of years!
"Where does Your Majesty intend to relocate us?" A gleam appeared in Yue Mei's eyes as she asked slowly.
After glancing at everyone, Queen Medusa finally spoke slowly. "The Black-Corner Region!"
The Black-Corner Region?!
Hearing this, everyone's expressions grew even more solemn.
Though they had never been to the Black-Corner Region, they had all heard of its fearsome reputation.
"The Black-Corner Region is indeed a good place!"
A light shone in Snake Ji's eyes.
Because of its unique terrain, the Black-Corner Region was practically the most chaotic place on the entire Northwest Continent. Countless fugitive experts from various countries ended up there.
But chaos also meant countless opportunities.
There, high-level cultivation methods, top-tier Dou Techniques, divine weapons and armor, Medicine Cauldrons, medicinal ingredients, and high-grade pills that were rarely seen elsewhere were abundant.
There were no laws to restrain anyone there!
There was only one rule: the strong devoured the weak!
The Snake-People Tribe was inherently a race with tremendous combat prowess. In that bloodthirsty, chaotic land, they would surely be like fish in water.
"Your Majesty truly has far-reaching vision. I believe the Black-Corner Region would be an excellent place to relocate!"
Elder Snake Ji raised her head slightly and looked at Queen Medusa above with utmost reverence.
"I think Her Majesty makes a good point. The Tagor Desert really isn't a good place."
"Relocation is a good solution!"
"When the time comes, what does it matter if it's the Black-Corner Region? Wherever our Snake-People Tribe goes, we will be truly powerful!"
"..."
The Snake-People Tribe's Eight Leaders also rubbed their fists and palms in anticipation, discussing it animatedly.
"Of course, this is only my preliminary idea. Relocating to the Black-Corner Region won't be so simple. We still need to weigh it carefully and cautiously."
Queen Medusa's expression did not change as she brazenly claimed Chen Xuan's idea as her own.
How shameless!
If Chen Xuan had been there.
He would certainly have been speechless for a while.
Were humans really just repeaters at heart?!
