Chapter 127: frontatioiation!

  Upon hearing Yuemei's words, Mobas wore an unpleasant expression and said in a deep voice, "What is the Queen's iion? It's this critical moment, and she's still not ing out to oversee the situation. Is she waiting for the eo e knog?"

  Seeing Mobas' displeasure, Yuemei casually toyed with her delicate hands and said nontly, "Perhaps Her Majesty has her own pns?"

  Just as she was about to close her eyes, Yuemei's tenance suddenly ged. She sat up abruptly, her long, slender eyes gazing coldly at the sky outside the hall as she said, "They've arrived!"

  Although she hadn't seen the enemy yet, a powerful and unfamiliar aura had already desded upon the Medusa Temple.

  Hearing Yuemei's words, Mobas, who was nearby, was momentarily startled but soon se too. His face darkened immediately. He exged a gh Yuemei, and the two of them instantly appeared outside the hall. They asded into the sky at high speed and, after a while, arrived oy walls, which were already under martial w.

  Sure enough, moments ter, a few hundred meters outside the city walls in the sky, a gigantic magical beast floated.

  A figure calmly stood atop this magical beast, and a horrifying aura emanated from this figure.

  The man and the beast quickly approached. When Yuemei saw the appearance of the magical beast, her pupils stricted, and her face showed extreme shock.

  The creature was like a snake-like magical beast with twin horns, crimson in color, and it had a massive body. tless fierd sharp scales covered its body. When it moved, the space within several yards seemed to ripple.

  "How is this possible…?" Yuemei couldn't believe her eyes. The creature she had seeerday was a massive, golden avia. How could a powerful dragon-like magical beast appear today, and this one seemed even more formidable and terrifying than the one from yesterday? The Snake was really in trouble this time.

  Yuemei's heart sank slowly.

  Beside her, Mobas examihe true appearance of the Red Fme Magic Jiao. He was filled with fear after sensing the terrifying aura emanating from it. He wondered if Her Majesty, the Queen, could truly deal with su entity.

  But soon, a hint of fanaticism fshed in his eyes. Her Majesty was invincible!

  With her presehe Snake would undoubtedly be safe.

  In the distahe man and the beast approached the city. After a while, they halted just outside the attack range of the spear-throwers stationed oy walls.

  The Red Fme Magic Jiao couldn't tain itself any longer. It roared, and its deafening cry resounded over the city.

  "Ants, how dare you disrespect the master!"

  The angry voice of the Red Fme Magic Jia out. In its view, the man before it was only at the Dou Wang level, and it could easily swallow such a puehe man's words were clearly disrespectful to its master, which meant that he was also insulting the Red Fme Magic Jiao itself.

  Mobas' face, as he felt the fierce aura emanating from the Red Fme Magic Jiao, turremely solemn. If he hadn't known that Her Majesty was ihe temple, he would have likely fled in a panic when fronted with such a terrifying presence.

  "Enough, Magic Jiao, calm down."

  Seeing the now agitated Red Fme Magic Jiao, Gu He shook his head helplessly and waved his hand to halt its angry roar.

  Subsequently, Gu He's gaze swept across the city and heaved a sigh. Then, he projected his powerful voice, carried by his fighting spirit, which echoed throughout the ey.

  "Queen Medusa, I've e here not to wage war with your . I have some matters to discuss with you. May I request an audieh Her Majesty?"

  Witnessing Gu He's as, both Yuemei and Mobas furrowed their brows slightly, but they did not intervene.

  In this situation, it was indeed more appropriate for the Queen herself to ha. With their strength, even if the other side wao use force, they would simply end up retreating.

  fronted by Gu He and the Red Fme Magic Jiao, the two of them were under immense pressure. If the other party truly inteo strike, just one move could easily end them both.

  The resounding voice swept over the city for some time befradually fading away. As the shouting subsided, there was sileh inside and outside the city walls. After a while, there was still no response.

  Seeing this, Gu He's brows slightly furrowed. Just as he was about to call out again, the spa the high skies above the city walls suddenly twisted strangely.

  Witnessing this, Gu He's eyes narrowed as he gazed at the distorted space above the city walls.

  Suddenly, in the sky, the twilight's afterglow scattered down and illumihe distorted space. In the instant, a graceful figure, a beautiful woman with a sinuous aive body, sloeared before tless onlookers.

  The stunning woman was adorned in a regal purple robe, and her voluptuous figure was as ripe as a peach, exuding a faint sensuality. Three thousand strands of her long hair cascaded from her fragrant shoulders, draping down her slender waist. Beh the robe, a se of her sail was exposed, swingily. It urple, aail exhibited a wild and enting allure, causing people to inexplicably feel warmth throughout their bodies.

  Gu He's gaze swept over that nearly perfect figure and finally stopped at that beautiful face, causing his heart to tremble.

  Seeing this woman with his own eyes, Gu He finally uood why many people he Desert City would say that Queen Medusa's beauty could rival her infamy.

  For a woman like her, it seemed the only word to describe her was "bewitg." However, beh that allure, there was also a sense of queen-like nobility and grace, remi of Yun Yun.

  Both of them exuded an air ality due to their high positions.

  pared to her, Mooch appeared much less enting.

  Or one could say they were inparable!

  "Your Majesty!"

  After this alluring peared in the sky, a rge group of snake people oy walls below immediately k down, their respectful voices pierg the heavens.

  Looking at Queen Medusa in the sky, Mobas, who had a cold expression on his face, felt a momentary intoxication and deep admiration.

  "So, this is the Queen Medusa whose reputation almost matches her infamy in the Desert City?"

  Looking at the enting woman in the sky, Gu He maintained his calm expression, as if the renowned Queen Medusa did not faze him.

  "You came to see me?"

  In the sky, Queen Medusa lowered her head slightly, looking at Gu He. The lips of her red mouth curled into a delicate curve, and her exquisite beauty exuded a captivating charm. Her every expression and smile left Gu He momentarily captivated.

  Under Queen Medusa's bewitg gaze, Gu He took a deep breath, suppressing some of his emotions. He raised his head and said, "It is an honor to meet you, Queen Medusa."

  Queen Medusa's eyes passed over the Red Fme Magic Jiao beh Gu He. Her gaze held a hint of seriousness.

  "Speak, what brings you here? While your intrusion into our was impolite, we snake people are not unreasonable."

  Fag Queen Medusa's inquiry, Gu He spoke in a respectful tone, "Your Majesty, I have not e with any ulterior motives. To be ho, I am an alchemist, and you must be aware of the importance of a Heavenly Fme to an alchemist. I hope that you would sider relinquishing the Heavenly Fme to me, as it would not hold the same value for you. Iurn, I create a Dou Zong Pill and a Transformation Pill for your snake people."

  Listening to Gu He's words, Mobas and Mooch, who were oy wall, looked shocked. It was evident they were unaware of Queen Medusa obtaining the Heavenly Fme from outside Desert City a month ago.

  "Why does Her Majesty need a Heavenly Fme? She is aware that the success rate is extremely low. If anything happens to Her Majesty, what will bee of our snake people?" Mooch mumbled in surprise.

  Mobas sighed and said, "Her Majesty has remai the Dou Huang level for many years, and she is likely growing impatient. Although she appears uned, she desires to bee stronger. Achieving the Dou Zong level would signifitly expand the power of the snake people, and we would no longer be fio this vast desert. Despite adapting to this pce over the years, our snake bloodlines are ily cold."

  Mooch sighed as well, her gaze turning towards Queen Medusa with a sense nation.

  "A Heavenly Fme? How did you know I obtaihe Heavenly Fme?" Queen Medusa slightly raised her eyebrow, her voice carrying a faint ess as she g Gu He.

  "Not too long ago, I ehe magma world outside Desert City, and I sehe presence of the Heavenly Fme. Inside, I found a bloody rainbow snake scale. This scale only appears as a stratern on your body when you are in your full-strength bat state. Moreover, we detected the st of the Heavenly Fme on the scale, so it is likely that it injured you when you took it," Gu He expined in a low voice.

  Queen Medusa lightly licked her rosy lips. Her unusual pupils stared intensely at Gu He, a hint of ess and amusement in her expression.

  Seemingly aware of the unfriendly tone in Queen Medusa's eyes, Gu He remained posed and tinued, "Your Majesty, I don't mean any harm. I uand how important a Heavenly Fme is for an alchemist. I am determio acquire it. Your snake people do not be much from it, and I hope you would sider my proposal."

  The two tio exge words, and the versatioween Gu He and Queen Medusa appeared to be heading towards a iation.

  Although Gu He possessed many trump cards and had the fideo deal with the situation, this battle was bound to be a tough one. If he could resolve it with elixirs, that might not be a bad idea.

  Sedly, Gu He thought of Qing Lin's dream from the past, which was for the Snake-People Tribe and humans to stop fighting. If he battled the Snake-People Tribe today, they would undoubtedly suffer great losses, and iure, they might even be wiped out by the surrounding human empires. If this happened, Qing Lin, that little girl, would probably be heartbroken, something Gu He didn't want to see. After all, peaceful coexisteween the Snake-People Tribe and humans was the driving force behind that little girl's growth. If there was no need, Gu He didn't want to shatter her goal.

  Thirdly, Gu He didn't want to pletely expose his own strength. The northwest region had many experts from the Hall of Souls. If he revealed his full strength, he might attract the attention of the Hall of Souls.

  Oy wall, as Gu He spoke, Mobas widened his eyes and stared at Gu He with amazement. By his side, Yuemei also showed a shocked expression. They hadn't expected the person before them to act so extravagantly because of a Heavenly Fme.

  A Dou Aor Pill! This was a high-grade elixir, a type of elixir that could make high-level Dou Huang experts envious. Its effect was simple but tantalizing—it could potentially allow a ar Dou Huang expert who ed it to have a ce to break through to the Dou Aor css in a short time.

  In other words, if a ar Dou Huang ed a Dou Aor Pill, they might bee a Dou Aor expert within a short period! It was worth noting that at the ar Dou Huang level, advang further was extremely difficult. Many ar Dou Huang experts, after toiling in their cultivation for decades, still couldn't make that breakthrough. This was a on occurrence.

  Even Queen Medusa had taken risks to use the Heavenly Fme because she had been stuck at the ar Dou Huang level for too long and couldn't break through to the Dou Aor realm. This indicated just how precious Dou Aor Pills were!

  Of course, while Dou Aor Pills were highly coveted for their effects, they also had high resistance. Oneoook ohe effect of the sed Dou Aor Pill on them would be nearly nullified. In other words, a Dou Huang expert could only take one Dou Aor Pill in their lifetime.

  heless, despite this limitation, Dou Aor Pills were still the most sought-after elixirs among the experts. Many were willing to pay a great price to obtain one.

  In parison, the Rank 7 Transformation Pill was even more astounding. This elixir was enough to drive numerous magical beasts of the Dou Huang level crazy because it allowed them to pletely shed their beast faining the long lifespan of a magical beast along with the natural talent for cultivation of a human. Whewo extraordinary effects bined, it might produce a legendary expert who could bee a Dou Aor, or even a Dou Sheng!

  The two s made by Gu He had almost driven some people to madness. It was no wohat Mobas and Yuemei, as well as those present, were somewhat incredulous.

  At this moment, above the city wall, Mobas and Yuemei seemed to have been shocked by the terms Gu He had offered. Their faces dispyed astonishment, and they looked somewhat bewildered.

  As they turheir gaze toward Queen Medusa in the sky, Mobas slightly tightened his fist and whispered, "Your Majesty should agree to this, right?"

  Everyone present, including Yuemei, who shared the same thoughts as Mobas, focused their anxious gaze on Queen Medusa, awaiting her response.

  After all, if Queen Medusa agreed, today's major battle might be avoided.

  Uhe scrutiny of tless gazes, high in the sky, Queen Medusa remained silent for a long time. She sighed lightly, pursing her seductive red lips. Her beautiful eyes carried a hint ret as she looked at Gu He. With some helplessness, she said, "I have to admit that your offer is tempting, but..."

  "Sorry, I still won't make the exge."

  Upon hearing Queen Medusa's words, which represented a refusal, many people were left in astonishment. Although the power of the Heavenly Fme was imme seemed that this thing didn't have much appeal to the Snake-People Tribe. After all, it was like water and fire when pared to their cold bloodline, and the two were fually inpatible.

  Therefore, when they heard Queen Medusa's somewhat regretful refusal, Gu He's expression immediately turned cold.

  "What is Queen Medusa doing?... Keeping a Heavenly Fme that is of little use to herself? It would be better to exge for something useful for herself, which would be a win-win." Yuemei shook her head in disbelief, murmuring softly with a hint of fusion.

  Beside her, Mobas also nodded slightly, his face showing and bitterness.

  After being briefly puzzled, it seemed they had realized what Queen Medusa inteo do.

  "Ah, it seems that Queen Medusa really wants to do that... otherwise, she wouldn't have refused this exge so resolutely," sighed Yuemei softly.

  Mobas nodded, his eagle-like face showing a hint of worry.

  On top of the Crimson Fme Bck Jiao, upon hearing Queen Medusa's refusal, Gu He sighed softly. It appeared that this battle could not be avoided.

  At the moment, a terrifying aura emanated from Gu He, and his expression finally turned cold.

  He had made such a signifit cession, but Queen Medusa seemed to have nard for it.

  In that case, she had no o herself to bme!

  "Queen Medusa, I hope you won't regret your decision." Gu He raised his gaze, and his icy eyes radiated endless chilliness.

  Sensing the anger in her master's heart, the Crimson Fme Bck Jiao beh Gu He also released a tremendous threat. A thunderous r out through the entire Medusa Shrine.
