Chapter 16: Summoning the Strong of the Snake People

Chapter 16: Summoning the Strong of the Snake People

Right now, Wu Tian was utterly speechless about this two headed Fire Spirit Snake. Was this snake really such a troublemaker? Didn't it enjoy its life in the magma lake? Why come out and court death? Was it just trying to cause trouble?

The two headed Fire Spirit Snake King knew it was no match for Queen Medusa. It had just advanced to a sixth tier magical beast, so taking on a fighter at the peak of Douhuang was like a snake dreaming it wasn't happening. It knew it could survive in the magma lake due to the intense fire energy, but outside, it was out of its depth.

It figured, if I have to run sooner or later, why not now? It's a perfect time while you're traveling through the desert. I can't beat you, but can I not run?

Who knows if it was being clever or just stupid, but that was its plan. As soon as it surfaced, it flew off at top speed, without even pausing, using the fastest speed a sixth tier beast could muster.

Seeing such a cowardly act, Medusa was even more furious and pursued the fleeing snake, shooting a barrage of qi arrows at it like spending money was going out of fashion.

"Hunting time!" Wu Tian thought dramatically.

The arrows shot towards the hapless snake. Normally, it would defend itself, but this time it just focused on fleeing as fast as possible. It got hit by several arrows but didn't slow down, keeping the distance between itself and Medusa constant.

However, the snake was wounded quite severely, leaving trails of blood in colorful arcs like ribbons in its wake.

"Medusa, let's not chase it. It seems it wasn't born in this magma lake but came here to evolve. Now that it has evolved, it's leaving. We just happened to come at the right time!" Wu Tian suggested.

With a slight smile curling his lips, Wu Tian figured the wounded snake would surely want to return to the magma lake to heal. Otherwise, it would take a long time to recover.

But for now, it would probably just hide.

Medusa nodded, feeling much calmer after venting her rage. She stopped chasing the two headed Fire Spirit Snake King and turned back.

Meanwhile, a team of robed figures searching for herbs in the desert were drawn to the hole left by the astonishing emergence of the two headed Fire Spirit Snake.

One of the members, a middle aged man, widened his eyes in excitement as he approached. "This is… the aura of a Heavenly Flame! Was that Queen Medusa just now?"

...

Medusa didn't return very far because, thanks to the two headed Fire Spirit Snake, the location of the Heavenly Flame had been fully exposed. There was no use in trying to cover it up; better to focus on completing her evolution.

She returned directly to her palace and immediately issued three martial law orders and summoned the leaders and elders of the eight great Snake People tribes.

This was Wu Tian's suggestion. He doubted that the so called Pill Emperor Gu He wouldn't catch wind of this. Once he realized that the sixth tier beast was the two headed Fire Spirit Snake, he would definitely think of the Heavenly Flame!

...

In the spacious and luxurious hall, three Snake People elders and the eight tribal leaders were seated below, waiting for Queen Medusa to arrive.

"What's happened, Yue Mei? To issue three martial law orders?" asked a muscular male Snake Person. His thin clothes draped casually over his body, and his arms were marked with bizarre black tattoos that ended in two ferocious snake heads at his palms, emitting a fierce aura.

Yue Mei, a voluptuously shaped female Snake Person, straightened her back, accentuating her attractive figure. She shook her head and said:

"Mobas, I don't know either. The Queen only had Captain Hua She relay the orders to me to send you all information and summon you here. But since the Queen places such importance on this, it must be related to that place. This might be a big problem."

"Problem? With so many Douwangs here, what does it matter if all the strong fighters of the Jia Ma Empire come? Whoever comes, we will eliminate!" exclaimed a hot tempered leader known as Yan Ci.

He was one of the top warriors among the Snake People, and no one challenged his words. With Queen Medusa present, they could indeed hold their own against the Jia Ma Empire.

The other leaders remained silent, and the three masked elders at the top simply sat quietly, waiting for Queen Medusa to arrive.

At that moment, Captain Hua She of Medusa's guard entered from the doorway. As she appeared, all the Snake People rose from their seats, knowing their queen was about to arrive.

Next, the space at the throne twisted strangely, and in an instant, a curvaceous figure gradually materialized.

"Queen!!!"

As the figure appeared, all the Snake People in the hall bowed down, their respectful voices echoing throughout.

Unlike the other respectful Snake People, Mobas's eyes briefly showed a hint of undeniable infatuation.

Wu Tian, as the guardian spirit, had been watching Mobas and caught his disrespectful look.

"Sit down," commanded Medusa with authority.

Once everyone was seated, Medusa spoke softly to Hua She, "Bring him up."

Hua She nodded and stepped out. The rest of the Snake People looked puzzled who was the Queen referring to?

When Hua She brought the person in, everyone was shocked and stood up again it was Hai Bodong, though he looked much older. Despite his aged appearance, they recognized him as the former Ice Emperor of the Jia Ma Empire.

Now, however, Hai Bodong seemed very subdued, and they were astonished to see he was just a Da Dou Shi!

Yan Ci leapt up, his qi flaring in his hands as he struck at Hai Bodong who had killed many of their people and deserved revenge.

"Stop!" Queen Medusa said calmly from her throne.

Just that one word made Yan Ci halt her command was absolute among the Snake People.

Medusa leaned her head on her hand, smiling slightly. "Hai Bodong, indeed your information was true. I will keep my promise to break your seal, but not now. You will witness a spectacle, and from this day forward, you will be a slave of the Snake People."

Hai Bodong's face was expressionless. With things having reached this point, he could only accept his fate.

"No, my Queen, you must not!" protested the three masked elders, standing from their seats.

Wu Tian thought to himself: As expected, three old fools!
