Midday.
In the vast desert, a patrol squad of over a dozen fully armed Snake-People was conducting their routine inspection around the Holy City, their expressions extremely relaxed.
This area was less than ten thousand meters from the Snake-People Race Holy City, already considered the core region.
Relying on the prestige of Her Majesty the Queen in the Holy City, the patrolling Snake-People didn't believe any human would dare to cause trouble here.
Furthermore, the Holy City was the center of Tagor, and in the more distant surrounding areas, there were eight major Snake-People tribes guarding it. Ordinary humans didn't have the ability to reach this place.
Suddenly, a gust of hot wind surged, stirring up the sky-high yellow sand, causing the patrolling Snake-People to instinctively raise their hands to cover their faces and squint their eyes.
"This damn place, I'm really fed up."
"What can we do about it? Pray. Our current Queen is much stronger and more visionary than the previous one. Perhaps she can lead the tribe out of this desert and find a more suitable place to live."
The wind and sand subsided, and a group of Snake-People grumbled and chatted among themselves.
From beginning to end, they didn't notice that six figures had already swept across the sky, rapidly approaching the city in the center of the desert.
"Feng Li, your method of concealing yourselves is getting more and more skilled."
Several thousand meters away from the Snake-People Race Holy City, a group of six landed on a sand dune. Yan Shi chuckled and teased.
The others nodded in agreement, feeling the same way.
Throughout their journey deeper, the six had encountered over a dozen patrol teams from Snake-People tribes. Each time, it was the Wind Walker Feng Li who acted, waving his sleeve, his Dou Qi surging, stirring up a gust of wind and sand to conceal them.
As a result, the six were almost at the foot of the Holy City and still hadn't been discovered, saving them a lot of trouble.
"Just a small trick, nothing impressive. We can't trouble Sect Master Yun with such a small matter, can we?"
Feng Li replied humbly, not forgetting to flatter Yun Yun.
The world wasn't just about fighting and killing; human relationships were equally important.
Unfortunately, Yun Yun only gave a polite smile and didn't respond.
Teng Shan didn't pay attention to the two of them, turning his head to look at Chen Xiao.
"Elder Hai said that I should listen to your arrangements, Chen Xiao. You make the decision. When we enter the city, how we enter, it's all up to you."
Hearing this, Yun Yun and the others also looked over.
As long as it wouldn't cause serious consequences, since they had accepted the employment, they were willing to give Hai Bo Dong face.
Including Teng Shan.
Chen Xiao nodded in thanks, gazing at the massive city standing in the desert in the distance.
He said, "All of you seniors are renowned powerhouses, so there's no need to be too low-key. We can just go and visit directly. The leaders of the eight major Snake-People tribes won't come to the Holy City unless summoned by the Medusa Queen. When you truly meet the Medusa Queen, please be extra cautious."
Threatening was absolutely out of the question; that would be courting death.
Even if the leaders of the eight major tribes weren't present, the number of powerhouses in the Holy City was still considerable.
But being too low-key was also unnecessary; that would only make others look down on them.
So, being normal was fine.
"Don't worry, even if you didn't say anything, facing that fierce and beautiful Medusa Queen, we wouldn't dare to relax our vigilance, let alone offend her," Teng Shan nodded slightly and agreed with a smile.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao no longer hesitated and immediately set off again.
A distance of several thousand meters was only a matter of a few breaths for powerhouses at the Dou Huang and Dou Wang levels.
Teng Shan carried Chen Xiao, stopping in mid-air only when they had flown to about a hundred meters outside the towering city walls.
It was only at this moment that the Snake-People soldiers on the city wall let out 'woo woo' warning sounds.
Immediately, the six saw a well-built Snake-People woman unfold her Dou Qi wings and sweep out from the top of the wall.
"Human powerhouses, why have you entered our territory without permission?"
The Snake-People woman's gaze was cold. Perhaps seeing that the six had no offensive intentions, her attitude, while not friendly, wasn't overly hostile either.
"Commander Hua She'er, I am Teng Shan, the Clan Leader of the Mitre Family. I apologize for disturbing your esteemed tribe today. I have something I wish to discuss with your Queen. Please inform her."
Teng Shan held Chen Xiao's shoulder with one hand and placed the other on his chest, bowing slightly as he spoke.
Elegance is timeless.
"This Holy City is the absolute core area of the Snake-People Race. The Medusa Shrine is located within this city, and every generation of Queens resides here. In addition, the Medusa Queen's personal guard unit, the Medusa Snake Guard, is stationed here. This elite unit achieved great military feats during the war between the Jia Ma Empire and the Snake-People Race. Clan Leader Nalan Jie should have a deep understanding of this. This woman is named Hua She'er, and she is the commander of this Snake Guard. She is deeply trusted and extremely loyal."
After responding to Hua She'er, Teng Shan lowered his voice and introduced her identity to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao nodded lightly. He also had some impression of Hua She'er.
On the opposite side.
Hua She'er's gaze swept over the six, sensing their strength.
One Dou Huang, four Dou Wangs.
And... a Da Dou Shi?!
This lineup was quite luxurious, yet also somewhat strange, making Hua She'er unable to guess their intentions.
Without any intention of returning to the city, Hua She'er stood quietly high in the air, waiting for instructions from behind.
She could be absolutely certain that Her Majesty the Queen in the shrine was watching everything.
Whether to meet or refuse, she had her own ideas.
"Bring them to see this King."
Hua She'er didn't have to wait too long. Soon, a slightly lazy voice reached her ears.
Hua She'er turned and bowed to the shrine, then turned back to look at the six people.
"Her Majesty the Queen has agreed to meet with you. Six sirs, please walk into the city."
Saying this, Hua She'er landed first at the city gate.
In the high sky, the few strong individuals exchanged glances, slightly surprised.
"This Medusa Queen is truly confident enough. Although I expected to be able to see her this time, I never thought I would be able to enter the Holy City," Lion King Yan Shi sighed softly.
Agreeing to let them enter the city, it was unclear if Medusa Queen was easy to talk to, but her confidence was fully displayed.
"Seniors, let's go down first," Chen Xiao said with a smile.
For him, as long as he could get an audience, it was a good start.
As for Medusa Queen's confidence, did it even need to be said?
This Queen was currently at her absolute peak, not yet injured by the Green Lotus Core Flame.
Teng Shan nodded first, leading Chen Xiao to land.
The others followed closely behind.
Stepping into the Holy City, one could clearly see that the architectural style of the Snake-People Race was completely different from desert cities like Mo City. The houses were lower, and there were rarely tall buildings.
The number of Snake-People in the city was even greater than the usual flow of people in Mo City. Seeing Hua She'er leading six humans in, the scrutinizing gazes were varied.
Some were wary, some were full of hatred, and some young Snake-People were quite curious, as if they were seeing humans for the first time.
They walked in silence the whole way, taking less than ten minutes. The group was finally led by Hua She'er to the highest point in the center of the Holy City, inside the Medusa Shrine.
In the spacious and luxurious main hall, a beautiful woman who could only be described as enchanting leaned lazily on the throne.
She was wearing a dignified purple-red brocade robe. Beneath the robe, her delicate body was full and shapely, like a ripe peach, exuding a faint charm. Compared to her, the Sect Master Yun who had accompanied them all the way seemed insignificant.
The woman on the throne lightly propped her forehead with her jade hand, as if she had just been napping.
Through the gap in her arm, one could see her casually scattered three thousand strands of black hair, and a section of purple snake tail extending from beneath the brocade robe.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, she slightly raised her eyes, her gaze calm and unmoving.
Showing no joy or anger, no sorrow or happiness.
