Chapter 133: Queen Medusa
Chapter 181: Queen Medusa
Because at that time, even a Dou King might only be at the second-tier strength, far from what he could compare to.
If the matter of his strength "falling" were exposed, those who knew Mu Yang possessed a Heavenly Flame would inevitably harbor ill intentions. He wouldn't dare to trust Bai Ya and Lü Man at that point.
It wasn't that he was overly suspicious or ungrateful.
Rather, their current cooperativeness was mostly due to Qing Lin and their apprehension of Mu Yang's strength. Without the assurance of his power, Mu Yang couldn't guarantee what the man and the snake would do.
Ultimately, there weren't many naive individuals who could break through to Dou Emperor.
Therefore, for his safety, he had to leave in five days!
"Is the busy man done with his work?"
Mu Yang had been taking them flying all over the Gama Empire these past two days, so Bai Ya calling him a busy man wasn't an exaggeration.
"I'm definitely done with Jia Ma Holy City, but there's one more place to go."
"Where?"
Bai Ya had already submitted. At most, he would act as a flying magical beast. He wouldn't lose a single piece of flesh, and pleasing Qing Linwas the priority.
"The Snake-People Tribe's temple."
"Are you crazy?!"
Bai Ya's body trembled violently, the cunning and ferocity in his triangular eyes completely replaced by shock.
Although he pursued Medusa, he was even more aware of the power and ruthlessness hidden beneath her beauty and charm. How could a queen, bearing the rise and fall of a race, be simple?
The three Dou Emperors were indeed very strong, but venturing deep into the Tagor Desert still posed a threat to their lives.
The Snake-People Tribe didn't just have Medusa as a Dou Emperor-level fighter. Otherwise, even if she could fight one against three, the Snake-People Tribe would have long been annihilated by other empires.
It was just that those Snake-People Dou Emperors, due to their lifespan or other reasons, couldn't act freely and could only stay in the cultivation temple. That's why people from other empires dared to plunder and trade snake women in the outer regions.
Entering the Snake-People Tribe's temple was equivalent to directly facing the entire Snake-People Tribe's power. Moreover, Mu Yang had just killed Mo Basi, one of the eight great leaders of the Snake-People Tribe, and so many Snake-People warriors. Wasn't this walking straight into a trap?!
"Firstly, Mo Basi and that group of snake-people attacked first. Secondly, I'm not trespassing into the Snake-People Tribe's temple; I'm here by invitation."
"By invitation? Are you saying?!"
"Yes, Mo Basi led a large number of Snake-People warriors to cooperate with humans without reporting it, so Medusa tacitly allowed me to kill him. And if I hadn't held back, none of those snake-people would have survived."
Mu Yang's words were not false. Medusa was present when he killed Mo Basi, but she didn't appear openly.
It was also she who secretly protected most of the snake-people with her Dou Qi. Mu Yang, considering some matters, ultimately chose to hold back his strength. Otherwise, that amount of Dou Qi wouldn't have been able to protect many snake-people.
"You're amazing."
Bai Ya had completely lost his temper. They were all creatures of the Dou Qi Continent, so why was there such a big difference between snakes and humans?
He had pursued Medusa for so long, yet she never gave him a kind look, and he was even beaten half to death several times.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
"First, go to the Monster Mountain Range to deliver the pills, then go to the Tagor Desert."
"Alright."
Flying tool Bai Ya silently bowed his body and, after everyone mounted him, flew at extreme speed.
"The pills I promised you."
"So fast?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King had already prepared for being deceived or for the pills to be delayed. After all, who told it to be weak? Being able to save its own life and its child's life was already extremely good.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yang returned on only the third day, which made it, who usually didn't trust humans, feel incredible.
"It's just a fair trade."
Without much more talk with the Lion King, as time waited for no one, Mu Yang quickly rushed towards the desert with Bai Ya again.
"I didn't expect to come back after all this circling."
Looking at the endless yellow sand, Lü Man sighed with emotion.
Then, she secretly glanced at Qing Lin, her heart no longer holding much hope for abducting the other party. The dependence was too deep; she simply couldn't be swayed.
But to give up—
The possibility of becoming a Dou Zong was right before her eyes. Could anyone truly calmly and peacefully let go of such a bright future?
Lü Man admitted she couldn't. Her cultivation was a six-star Dou Emperor, her talent was not bad, and she had the potential to break through to Dou Zong. All she lacked were resources.
However, she felt that with her wood-attribute Dou Qi, she probably couldn't defeat Mu Yang, especially after Mu Yang obtained the Heavenly Flame; she would be even less of an opponent.
Just as Lü Man was troubled, and before they had even ventured deep into the desert, Bai Ya's path was blocked by someone.
"Who goes there?!"
The interceptors were about a few dozen people, their equipment and strength far exceeding the Snake-People Tribe's small teams Mu Yanghad seen before. They were very likely Medusa's Snake Guards.
Everyone was fully armed, with unfriendly expressions, in a state of alert against an invading enemy.
This team, just by its name, was clearly not simple. It was Medusa's personal guard unit, which had made illustrious military achievements in wars against human empires.
Bai Ya could ignore ordinary Snake-People Tribe teams, but Medusa's Snake Guards were equivalent to the temple's final defense. Ignoring them further might cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he stopped.
"I've come at your Queen's invitation for a discussion."
Mu Yang poked his head out from Bai Ya's back, his tone calm and slightly puzzled.
"Impossible! Her Majesty the Queen would never invite humans into the temple!"
When several Snake Guards saw three humans on Bai Ya's back, the hostility and dislike in their eyes intensified.
The two races, humans and snake-people, had reached a point of irreconcilable conflict. If they hadn't known they were no match, they would probably have attacked by now.
"Alright, Bai Ya, let's go."
To everyone's surprise, Mu Yang actually intended to leave just like that, without any intention of forcing his way in.
Not to mention the Snake Guards, even Bai Ya and Lü Man, who were with him, were bewildered. What was going on?
"Go."
Mu Yang patted the dazed Bai Ya, urging him, his tone not seeming fake, because he truly intended to leave at this point.
This trip was originally at Medusa's invitation, and the purpose was also very clear: she wanted to borrow the Heavenly Flame.
She was the one who had a request of him, not Mu Yang coming uninvited.
In this situation, Medusa's personal guards were still blocking his path, trying to give him a hard time.
Since that was the case, why should he continue to keep the appointment? Not immediately turning hostile was already showing a lot of respect.
"Okay."
Although Bai Ya couldn't fathom Mu Yang's thoughts, he still turned around, preparing to leave.
"Wait."
The space in mid-air suddenly twisted strangely, attracting the attention of everyone present.
The next moment, a graceful female figure with a purple snake tail for her lower body abruptly appeared before Mu Yang.
Charming, alluring, noble—
It was hard to imagine that so many words describing feminine beauty could be used for her.
"I apologize for my subordinates' disrespect. Please forgive me, sir."
And the next second, that graceful figure bowed slightly to Mu Yang, her tone full of apology.
The Snake Guards' attempt to intimidate was not set up by Medusa. In fact, she herself was very puzzled as to why the Snake Guards, who had always been obedient to her, would suddenly act as if they were possessed, ignoring her commands.
When she returned from the rift, she had notified all the snake-people in the temple that several humans would visit in a few days, and they were her extremely important guests.
As a result, the Snake Guards, whom she trusted the most, had acted foolishly, which made Medusa very puzzled, even suspecting if something unclean had infiltrated the Snake Guards' ranks.
