Yue Mei's eyes were more serious than ever.
"The tribe sent word that among that group of people, there is a... sixth-level flying monster."
"A sixth-level magical beast?"
"Why are so many strong individuals suddenly gathering?"
Mobas, the male snake man, had a much more serious expression and frowned deeply.
"Do you know the strength of the others traveling with the sixth-level monster?" Mobas asked, his eyes darkening.
"There are two very weak girls and a young boy... My people couldn't determine his strength at all. They said he doesn't seem to have any fighting spirit fluctuations."
Yue Mei frowned as she recalled the news from her tribesmen. She was very wary of this mysterious young man who could tame a sixth-level monster.
Mobas asked solemnly, "Have you informed Her Majesty the Queen? What did she say?"
"I have informed her, but Her Majesty seems calm. She just asked me to send intelligence and call you over."
Yue Mei nodded, saying helplessly.
Seeing that Mobas was skeptical, Yue Mei was about to close her eyes, but her face suddenly changed, and she sat up from the chair.
"Here it comes!"
As Yue Mei sensed the auras suddenly appearing outside the city, Mobas also noticed something.
His face darkened slightly as he looked at Yue Mei. The two of them quickly appeared outside the hall and rose rapidly into the air.
Moments later, they arrived at the city wall, which was already on high alert.
Outside the city wall, a huge monster hovered in the air, with several human figures suspended nearby.
The visitors were none other than Gu He and his group. Among them, Yun Yun, clad in a black robe, was the only Dou Huang-level helper Gu He had invited.
"Human, why do you trespass into our territory without permission?" Mobas shouted angrily.
"Haha, this must be the leader Mobas of the Moshe tribe, right?" Gu He walked out slowly, smiling.
"Who are you?" Mobas sneered.
"Haha, my name is Gu He!" The middle-aged man smiled slightly and spoke softly.
"Gu He, the Dan King of the Jia Ma Empire? That name is well-known."
The mention of "Gu He" surprised both Yue Mei and Mobas. Though the snake people rarely took human strongmen seriously, they knew the importance of alchemy masters like Gu He and the influence they wielded.
"Haha, two leaders, I apologize for visiting you as a noble, but I wish to discuss something with Queen Medusa. Could Her Majesty come out to have a chat?" Gu He asked politely.
"To see Her Majesty the Queen? Sorry, we cannot convey this request for you."
Mobas shook his head, refusing without hesitation. "Gu He, you and your people should leave immediately."
As the two sides were at a standstill, a figure suddenly appeared from the distorted space in the sky.
The beautiful woman who appeared was wearing an elegant purple brocade robe. Her body, plump and exquisite, exuded a faint charm. Her long black hair fell from her shoulders and hung down her slender waist. Beneath the brocade robe, a purple snake tail swayed, adding an enchanting allure.
"Queen Medusa!"
With her appearance, Gu He and the others became visibly nervous. Even Yun Yun did not possess the strength to defeat the notorious Queen Medusa.
On the other side, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, after flying at high speed, approached the Holy City of Medusa.
"Xiao Yixian, Qinglin, wait here. I'll be back soon."
Sensing something, Gu Fei asked the Lion King to stop and turned back to instruct Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin.
[Xiao Yixian becomes worried, and her emotion value increases by 100]
[Qinglin becomes worried, and her emotion value increases by 70]
Despite knowing Gu Fei's strength, their worry remained as he was going alone into the holy city filled with snake people who despised humans.
Gu Fei comforted them briefly, said goodbye, and sped away.
He arrived just in time. Outside the holy city, Gu He and his group were in a silent confrontation with Queen Medusa.
After observing Gu He and his group realize the person outside was merely a phantom of Queen Medusa and then break into the holy city, Gu Fei found the right direction. He concealed his presence and sneaked into the snake people's city.
Queen Medusa had divided the aura of the strange fire into several parts and placed them in different locations to confuse intruders, but Gu Fei was familiar with the strange fire.
His perception spread throughout the holy city, and his immense spiritual power allowed him to quickly find the true direction, unlike Gu He and the others who searched blindly.
Soon, Gu Fei arrived at the eastern part of the city. A massive temple gradually came into view.
He completely concealed his aura and entered the depths of the temple unnoticed.
At this moment, a small clear lake appeared before Gu Fei.
In the middle of the lake was a small island with no bridge leading to it. The lake seemed calm and peaceful, but it had no-fly zones, and the water was highly poisonous.
Although Gu Fei could have dealt with it, he chose to proceed cautiously to avoid detection.
While others might struggle with the poison, Gu Fei used the Sea Heart Flame he had obtained. The flame, glowing with a faint blue light, wrapped around him, making it look like he was burning, but it couldn't be extinguished by the water.
Upon reaching the small island, Gu Fei did not stop but continued forward. Following the strange fire's guidance, he found a bamboo forest. The further he went, the stronger the strange fire's scent became.
In his sight, the center of the island was different from the periphery. It was a circular open area with surrounding bamboos and flowers cleared away.
In the center of the open area was a small pond filled with crystal-clear water, with white mist lingering above its surface.
At the center of the pond was a lotus seat carved from a strange crystal. On the lotus seat, a green flame slowly rose.
Gu Fei hid in a corner, restraining his aura and blending into the environment. He knew the purpose of his visit was right there but did not rush to act.
After a while, an enchanting figure appeared. It was Queen Medusa, who planned to use this strange fire to evolve.
