Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 47

"What a big bird!"

A male snake-man warrior with a hideous and grotesque appearance couldn't help but blurt it out.

However, before he could look for long, the captain of the guard in front shouted at him to catch up with the group.

As he looked away, the snake-man warrior was still wondering, "Shouldn't this giant eagle be active in the Monster Forest? When did it get into the depths of the desert?"

Of course, no one could answer that question, and he himself didn't take it to heart...

Meanwhile, on the broad back of the giant eagle, Ye Chen stood against the wind, feeling the rich fire and earth elemental energy around him, and couldn't help but laugh: "Although the desert environment is harsh, it is a good cultivation ground for those who cultivate fire and earth elemental techniques."

Unfortunately, the weather in the desert is extremely unpredictable and can easily form huge storms. If you are not strong enough, it is difficult to even survive, let alone cultivate. Therefore, even though this place is very suitable for people with these two attributes to cultivate, very few people dare to do so.

Of course, for the people of the Gama Empire, the most terrifying enemy deep in the Tagor Desert was not the unpredictable extreme weather, but the omnipresent snake people...

Ye Chen took out the detailed desert map he had obtained from Hai Bodong. His finger followed the route and finally stopped on a red dot that represented danger. There were eight of these red dots on the map, distributed in several different directions of the desert.

Among the snake-people of the Tagor Desert, besides some small and medium-sized tribes, there are eight enormous ones, which are the eight red dots on the map. They are the most powerful tribe among the snake-people, holding an extremely high position in the desert. Apart from Queen Medusa, even they themselves do not respect each other.

Eight colossal figures dominate several directions of the Tagor Desert, guarding the central holy city of the Serpent People. The main roads marked on the map that lead deeper into the desert are completely blocked by these eight red dots.

Even if Ye Chen and his group travel by air, if they want to penetrate deep into the Snake People's sacred land and meet Queen Medusa, they must pass through the eight major tribes of the Snake People, and they will definitely be discovered then.

However, Ye Chen didn't care too much about this, or rather, he never intended to sneak in, so he simply chose a shorter route and flew over on his giant eagle.

Meanwhile, the Enchanted Serpent Tribe, one of the eight tribes of the Serpent People.

In the largest oasis at the heart of the tribe, there lies a small lake, as blue as the moon, its clear waters reflecting a...

A woman with a voluptuous figure rushed out from the bottom of the lake, her back to Xiao Yan as she tossed her long hair. Her hair clung to her snow-white shoulders, and drops of water clung to her delicate skin, then slid down her shoulders, across her alluring waist, and finally dripped into the lake, creating ripples.

On the lakeside, several female warriors of the Serpent race, armed with spears and dressed in light armor, guarded the four sides, while several Serpent maids stood beside them holding brand-new black robes.

The woman in the lake casually brushed her long hair aside with her slender hand, then slowly turned around.

As the woman turned around, her perfect body was fully revealed. If any man were to witness this scene, he would likely freeze instantly, bleed to death, and die...

Unfortunately, apart from the snake-woman warrior, even the fish in the water were female, so this perfect body could only regretfully lose the opportunity to be admired.

After bathing, the snake woman in the lake gracefully swam slowly to the shore with a flick of her tail, then stood naked on the riverbank.

The snake-woman maid, who had been preparing for some time, flashed behind the woman and covered her body with a black robe, concealing the voluptuous scenery that would make any man's blood boil.

Just then, a valiant snake-woman warrior came from afar, bowed to the snake woman, and said, "Lady Yue Mei, our patrol team has discovered some more human footprints, and the other side is quite numerous and very strong. The patrol team has sent a message requesting support."

Indeed, the snake woman bathing in the lake is the snake-woman Yue Mei, the chieftain of the Enchanting Snake Tribe, whom Xiao Yan first encountered in the original novel. She is a five-star Dou Wang level expert.

Upon hearing the report from her subordinate, a cold glint flashed in Yue Mei's alluring eyes. She then said, "Yue Ling, you will personally lead the Serpent Spirit Guard. I don't want any human who dares to intrude to escape, understand?"

"Yes, Lady Yue Mei! Yue Ling understands!" The snake-woman warrior, known as Yue Ling, bowed and immediately went to lead her people away.

Such things are actually quite common, so Yue Mei simply gave instructions to her subordinates and then put it aside.

The time for an audience with the Queen was fast approaching, and Yue Mei needed to prepare for her journey to the Snake-People's Holy City. She had no time to waste on dealing with a group of humans.

Just as she was about to leave the lakeside, she suddenly sensed a powerful and scorching aura emerging from the distant horizon and rapidly approaching her...

"Battle King?!" Yue Mei's expression changed instantly, and before her subordinates could react, a pair of purple battle aura wings appeared on her back, and she soared into the sky with a sonic boom.

In a short while, a giant eagle appeared in Yue Mei's field of vision.

Specifically, it was the two figures standing on the back of the giant eagle that directly attracted Yue Mei's attention...

"A human Battle King?" Yue Mei's gaze fell on Ye Chen's handsome appearance. She was stunned for a moment, and then she was attracted by the faint explosive aura emanating from his body.

However, if Ye Chen only impressed Yue Mei, then Hu Tian, ​​who was standing next to him and whose presence she couldn't even sense, was truly terrifying...

"A powerhouse far surpassing the Dou Wang level! Perhaps even on par with Her Majesty the Queen..."

This was Hu Tian's first impression on Yue Mei.

Chapter 104 Capturing Yue Mei

"Respected human powerhouses, may I ask what brings you to my snake-people clan?" Yue Mei, completely devoid of her previous coldness towards humans, looked at Ye Chen and his companion with a serious expression and asked.

Ye Chen carefully examined the other party, and looking at this snake woman who exuded a bewitching charm from head to toe, he quickly guessed her identity.

"This must be the snake woman Yue Mei, whom Xiao Yan described as having a beauty and charm that only Ya Fei could match. I didn't expect this woman to be a five-star Dou Wang. Her strength is quite impressive."

As Ye Chen mentally evaluated Yue Mei, his calm voice rang out.

"My name is Ye Chen. I have something I wish to discuss with Her Majesty the Queen of the Snake-People Clan."

"To see the Queen?" Yue Mei's expression turned serious, and then her mind raced.

Although she didn't know what these two humans wanted from her queen, given the countless years of hatred between humans and snake people, Yue Mei certainly didn't think they could have anything good in mind...

Therefore, her first thought was to stall the other party and then find a way to send a message to the Holy City, reminding the Queen to be careful.

After all, the old man among them was too mysterious, and he was likely a stronger person than the Queen!

Taking a deep breath, Yue Mei said in a deep voice, "You may wish to see Her Majesty the Queen, but that is not something I can decide. Therefore, I can personally convey your wishes to the Queen. Please, both of you, rest for a while in my Enchanted Serpent Tribe."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, guessing what the other party was thinking. Although he hadn't come here to cause trouble, he didn't want to waste his time here...

"I'm sorry, I don't have time to wait here, so you don't have any other choice..."

As Ye Chen finished speaking, Yue Mei felt as if the surrounding space had instantly imprisoned her body, and even the fighting spirit within her body began to stagnate.

"How could this be...?!" Yue Mei was shocked and tried to break free several times, but failed each time.

Only then did she realize that her initial guess was correct; the mysterious old man's strength was indeed terrifying, even more so than the Queen's!

Even when facing her own queen, Yue Mei wouldn't be completely powerless to resist. Only a Dou Zong, who is one level above Dou Huang and is said to have mastered the power of space, could do that!

"I... would never betray Her Majesty the Queen!"

Even though she felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her body, Yue Mei still managed to squeeze out those words.

"Tsk..." Ye Chen scratched his head, feeling that this woman's hostility towards human powerhouses was really great.

“I told you, I didn’t come here to cause trouble.”

Ye Chen reiterated his stance and then continued, "Moreover, even if you don't lead the way, we can still find the holy land of your snake people; it will just take a little more time."

Yue Mei remained defiant to the death.

Helpless, Ye Chen stopped wasting words with her and said directly to Hu Tian, ​​"Let's go, take this woman with us and continue on."

After the three left, the Serpent Tribe was thrown into chaos. The Serpent Spirit Guard, which was originally going to track down the human mercenaries, canceled its mission and began searching for its own leader while quickly contacting the Holy Land to relay the news of the upheaval in the Serpent Tribe.

Unfortunately, the Serpent Clan, having lost its tribal leader, is already...

They've fallen into disarray. By the time they relay the news to the Snake-People's Holy Land, Ye Chen and his group will probably already be sitting and drinking tea with Queen Medusa.

……

……

As the scorching sun began to set in the west, the previously sweltering air in the desert began to cool slightly. The fiery clouds on the horizon resembled blood, staining the entire desert a crimson hue.

This is a vast city standing in the heart of the desert, surrounded by towering statues of snake-woman queens, giving the entire city a solemn and dignified air.

Hundreds of meters above the city walls, a huge flying magical beast hovered in mid-air, with three figures standing on its back, looking down at the city below.

"Is this the holy city of your snake-people? I didn't expect it to be so magnificent." Looking at the city below, Ye Chen smiled and turned to Yue Mei.

However, at this moment, Yue Mei's face had turned gloomy, and her purple eyes were flashing with anxiety.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, news of the invasion did not reach the Holy City at all, which resulted in a severe shortage of defenses in the Holy City.

Although the other side has a Dou Zong and a Nine-Star Dou Wang, if the leaders of the eight major tribes of the Snake People were to gather together, along with the Queen and the temple guards, they might not necessarily be afraid of these humans!

"Human, I hope what you're saying is true, otherwise my snake-people will never let this go!" Yue Mei said resolutely.

Ye Chen nodded, "Don't worry, as I said, I came here with no ill intentions..."

Yue Mei glanced at the other person with her beautiful eyes, but said nothing more.

At this moment, the guards on the city wall below also spotted the three people in the sky. Immediately, countless weapons gleaming with cold light were aimed at them, and then someone quickly sounded the alarm...

A moment later, a beam of light slowly rose into the air above the city wall. A red-haired snake-woman warrior in armor asked in a voice tinged with coldness, "Humans, why have you trespassed into our territory without permission? If you don't want to provoke a war between the Gama Empire and the snake-people, I advise you to go back to where you came from!"

Ye Chen looked down at yet another female snake-woman Battle King, then glanced at Yue Mei with some surprise and chuckled, "Eh? Who is this beautiful Battle King? She seems to be just as strong as Leader Yue Mei..."

Looking down at the familiar face, Yue Mei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "That is Hua She'er, the captain of the temple guards beside Her Majesty the Queen."

Upon hearing the name, Ye Chen suddenly realized.

He hadn't paid attention to this name in the original work, but it left a deep impression on him in the anime.

"Hehe, this beautiful snake-woman has taken the liberty of visiting your noble family. She has something she wishes to discuss with Queen Medusa. I wonder if Her Majesty could appear for a chat?" Ye Chen said politely with a smile.

"Want to see Her Majesty the Queen? I'm sorry, I cannot convey that request for you!" Shaking her head, Flower Snake refused without hesitation. Then, with a threatening tone, she continued, "No matter who you are, I advise you to take your people and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the powerful members of my Snake-People clan gather, you may not even have the chance to leave."

Ye Chen shook his head slightly, knowing that seeing Medusa wouldn't be so simple.

To avoid unnecessary conflict, Ye Chen turned his gaze to Yue Mei beside him and smiled, "It seems I'll have to trouble Chief Yue Mei again. Please convey to Her Majesty the Queen that I have no ill intentions this time; in fact, it could be beneficial to her. Therefore, I request that Her Majesty appear before me..."

Chapter 105 Queen Medusa

Seeing Yue Mei descend from the sky, Hua She'er on the city wall was also surprised, but she did not mistake her for a traitor.

After arriving at the city wall, Yue Mei exchanged a few words with Hua She'er before transforming into a streak of purple light and flying towards the towering Medusa Temple in the city center.

"Young master, I don't think this snake woman will believe you. She might do something sneaky after we get back..." Hu Tian whispered to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was well aware of this.

However, just as he said, he had no ill intentions, so he wasn't afraid of Yue Mei playing tricks on him. Besides, with their combined strength, even if all eight leaders of the snake-people tribes gathered together, if he wanted to leave, the snake-people wouldn't be able to stop him...

Indeed, just as Hu Tian had said, not long after Yue Mei entered the temple, the enormous Medusa Queen statue in the temple square emitted a towering, seven-colored beam of light.

This is a signal from the Serpent People to urgently summon the leaders of the eight tribes. Once this signal is seen, it means that the Serpent People's Temple is under threat, and the leaders of the eight tribes must come to the rescue as soon as possible, no matter what they are doing.

"This woman, really, she doesn't trust me at all..." Ye Chen chuckled, but didn't react excessively.

Since you don't believe me, I'll prove it with my actions. When the snake-people's top combatants arrive, that should put their minds at ease...

With that thought in mind, Ye Chen turned his gaze back to the city.

At this moment, Hua She'er on the city wall was already prepared for a desperate battle when Yue Mei entered the temple.

Her duty was to guard the temple, so she would fight to the death to stop whatever the other side did.

However, Ye Chen's next actions surprised this heroic snake-woman warrior, but she did not let her guard down because of it.

After a while, Ye Chen found that there was still no movement in the city, and he became a little impatient. He stepped forward and shouted loudly into the city: "Your Majesty Queen Medusa, I am Ye Chen, an alchemist. I have not come here to start a war with you, but to discuss something with you. Please show yourself!"

The rolling sound surged through the city, only gradually subsiding after a long while.

As the shouts subsided, silence fell both inside and outside the city walls. After a long while, there was still no reaction. Seeing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly. However, just as he was about to shout again, the space above the city walls suddenly began to distort strangely.

"This is..." Hu Tian's expression hardened upon seeing this, and he immediately stepped forward to Ye Chen's side, saying in a deep voice, "Young Master, be careful. This Queen Medusa has probably already reached the peak of Dou Huang, and has already mastered the power of space to this extent. She is probably only one step away from truly entering the Dou Zong realm!"

This was not unexpected for Ye Chen, after all, this was Queen Medusa, who could single-handedly suppress all the powerful figures of the entire Gama Empire, preventing them from venturing even a step into the desert...

Without absolute combat power capable of sweeping through the Douhuang realm, how could one possibly have achieved this?

It's important to know that while the Jia Ma Empire isn't particularly strong, it still boasts two peak Dou Huang level experts: Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan.

of.

Above the sky, the afterglow of the setting sun shone down, illuminating the distorted space. In the next instant, a graceful, curvaceous figure slowly appeared before the gazes of countless people.

A beautiful woman suddenly appeared, dressed in a magnificent purple brocade robe. Beneath the robe, her voluptuous figure was curvaceous and alluring, resembling a ripe peach and exuding a subtle charm.

Ye Chen's gaze involuntarily swept over the other person's body. He saw that she had a long, black head of hair that was casually draped down from her fragrant shoulders and hung down to her slender waist.

Especially the purple snake tail peeking out from under that brocade robe, swaying slightly, exuding a wild and alluring charm that inexplicably stirred one's heart and made one's body feel hot.

Compared to this woman, Yue Mei, whom Ye Chen had previously considered to be extremely alluring, suddenly seemed vulgar. Although her appearance was not necessarily inferior to Yue Mei's, this woman possessed a queen-like nobility and grace beneath her alluring charm. This captivating quality was something no other woman could match.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

After the alluring woman appeared, a large group of snake-men guards, led by Flower Snake, immediately knelt down on the city wall below. Their respectful voices pierced the sky.

Above the sky, Queen Medusa lowered her head slightly and looked at Ye Chen. The moment their eyes met, Ye Chen gave her a gentle smile. His expression did not show the usual loss of composure that human men usually displayed, which surprised her slightly.

"Are you looking for me?"

A clear voice, tinged with a hint of majesty, rang out. Queen Medusa's red lips parted slightly, curving into a delicate arc. In an instant, her exquisite face became enchantingly alluring, and every smile and frown was enough to make any man in the world lose his senses!

Under Queen Medusa's smiling gaze, Ye Chen took a light breath, suppressed some of his emotions, raised his head, and smiled, "That's right, you're exactly the one I've been looking for."
