Master Ye, you are finally here. The Queen has been waiting in the temple for a long time. Please follow me."
Although she had already degraded Ye Chen to dust in her heart, Yue Mei still looked so smiling and charming on the surface.
Should we say that women are born actors...
"Please lead the way, Chief Yue Mei." Ye Chen smiled politely, then followed behind him and headed towards the Holy City of the Snake People again.
When the scorching sun was about to set under the sand dunes, Ye Chen and his friends once again saw the majestic city nestled in the yellow sand.
Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, mother and daughter, who were here for the first time, were both somewhat shocked. They had never imagined that such a huge city could exist in the center of such a dangerous desert...
When they arrived at the temple, the eight leaders of the Snake People had all returned to their respective tribes, but there were four more terrifying Snake People elders in the temple hall!
"Four nine-star Douhuangs, when did the Snake People become so powerful?" Ye Chen couldn't help but be surprised, and his mind couldn't help but start to carefully recall the information related to the Snake People in the original Doupo.
Unfortunately, although he had read the original novel more than once, he could only remember the general plot and some important characters and plots. He certainly could not remember some of the extras who only appeared once.
Although the four elders of the Snake People have a respected status in the Snake People, even above the leaders of the eight tribes, in the original book they are just minor characters without even a name, so it is not surprising that Ye Chen does not remember them.
"Your Majesty, are you ready?" Ye Chen said without any nonsense, looking directly at the gorgeous woman on the throne.
Queen Medusa's beautiful eyes swept over Ye Chen and the others, and finally fell on Ye Chen again, with a flash of light passing by.
"Haha, Master Ye, don't worry. I've said I'll never break my promise, so you can rest assured." After a brief pause, Queen Medusa smiled brightly and continued, "Speaking of which, I'd like to congratulate Master Ye. You've reached the Dou Huang realm in less than a month. You truly have an astonishing talent!"
Although the bottleneck between Dou Wang and Dou Huang is not as terrifying as that between Dou Huang and Dou Zong, it is still not easy to break through.
Ye Chen was able to successfully break through and even stabilize his realm in such a short time. It seems that he must have used the help of elixirs...
It has to be said that even a king like Queen Medusa is envious of those high-level alchemists.
Those cultivation bottlenecks that trouble everyone are just trivial matters for them that can be solved with a pill. This really makes people unable to help but call it unfair!
"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. It was just luck." Ye Chen smiled faintly, but his eyes were looking straight at the other party, quietly waiting for Queen Medusa's reply.
After a moment's hesitation, Queen Medusa finally gave up the argument and said softly, "How about this? It's getting late now. Why don't you all rest in the temple for a night? We can set off together tomorrow. How about that?"
Ye Chen did not object to this and simply nodded and said, "Okay, sorry to bother you then."
Led by Hua Sheer, captain of the temple guard, Ye Chen and his party left the temple.
However, after they left, the atmosphere in the temple suddenly became oppressive...
"Your Majesty, why didn't you refuse him just now? Do you really want to leave with that Ye Chen and then protect the Ye family for ten years?"
The hot-tempered elder spoke directly, questioning Queen Medusa...
Her attitude immediately changed Queen Medusa's expression. However, thinking about the decision she had made, Queen Medusa suppressed her anger and said coldly, "When have I ever broken my promise?!"
"But what about the tribe? Are you just going to give up on the people you want to protect? Don't forget your responsibilities as a queen!" The elder didn't pay attention to the queen's expression and continued to roar.
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became even more oppressive. An invisible sense of killing began to spread, causing the two elders who had remained silent to tremble in their hearts...
They suddenly found themselves back in time, decades ago, when the queen had just ascended the throne...
The Great Elder at that time also argued with Her Majesty the Queen in the same way, and then...
And then nothing happened. From that day on, the five elders of the Snake People became four elders, and the candidate for the chief elder was also replaced.
Could it be that the situation of that year will happen again?
At this moment, the Second Elder's heart was filled with fear...
We must never let things develop to the point of no return again!
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
At the last moment, it was the second elder, who had a gentler personality, who stood up and broke the depressing atmosphere.
Queen Medusa turned her cold gaze to her, and then she snorted coldly and sat on the throne again, no longer paying attention to the four old stubborn people.
This scene finally made the second elder breathe a sigh of relief, and he quickly pulled over the first elder who was still glaring like a fighting cock.
"Grand Elder, I think Her Majesty the Queen's decision is a good choice..." The Second Elder's mind raced, and he slowly explained.
"After Her Majesty's successful evolution, she now possesses endless possibilities, but growth comes at a price. Although our Serpent People have some foundation, we are still far behind the Human Race. We do not have any high-level alchemists, which is our biggest weakness..."
After successfully breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, the Medusa Queens of all generations would choose to leave their tribe and head to Zhongzhou in order to grow rapidly. Only when their strength improved would they be qualified to lead their tribe to a better future..."
Listening to the words of the second elder, the originally resolute attitude of the first elder gradually softened, especially after hearing about the experience of Queen Medusa who went to Zhongzhou, her expression became ugly.
There was no other way. Queen Medusa was naturally alluring, especially after her evolution. Coupled with their unwavering loyalty to a man once they truly accepted him, all Medusa queens became the objects of pursuit by men. This inevitably led to them encountering some disgusting tactics, and some even lost their lives...
All of these things bring endless dangers to them.
"If the queen can rely on a powerful force, then her experience in Zhongzhou will be much smoother. What's more, the other party is a powerful alchemist family, so there will be more benefits!" The second elder analyzed bit by bit earnestly.
"It's only ten years. Although we four old women are old, we can still protect our tribe for ten years. When the queen grows up and returns, she might be able to lead the tribe out of this dangerous desert. Isn't this what we snake people have longed for for thousands of years?"
