Chapter 197: The Reappearance of the Dark Energy
Queen Medusa was stunned by Xiao Bai's actions, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
But it was too late to distance herself from him.
A large hand stretched out like lightning, tightly grasping the hand she had just extended, like an iron clamp, holding it tightly, unable to break free.
And the ripples that just rippled from that hand must be the power of space!
This bastard! He actually hid so much. I had been carefully controlling my attack distance before, just not wanting to fall into his trap.
I didn't expect this to be just Old Six. He had been showing weakness, but secretly preparing his killing move, ready to be unleashed, just waiting for her to get close.
She regretted it!
After Xiao Bai grabbed Queen Medusa, before she could move, a dragon's head suddenly appeared above her head, its ferocious mouth suddenly opened, and a dragon's roar that resounded through the sky suddenly burst out from its mouth.
"Ah!"
A deafening roar, imbued with a sense of ancient desolation, rippled the air like waves, rapidly spreading outward, striking Queen Medusa's face.
"Hmm!"
A muffled groan of pain escaped her red lips. Medusa's delicate, alluring face twisted in the impact of the soundwaves, her rosy complexion suddenly pale.
It hurt!
It hurt so much!
Medusa felt like she was going deaf. Her eardrums stung, and her soul, shaken by the sudden and intense impact, began to tremble.
Within her narrow, phoenix-like eyes, the lively pupils slowly dilated, then gradually became dull.
Her beautiful eyes, nearly ecstatic, glared feebly at Xiao Bai, her lips slightly parted.
"Asshole!"
she muttered, her tone weak and delicate, devoid of her former swagger.
Seeing Queen Medusa like this, Xiao Bai felt as if something had tugged at his heart, a sharp pain.
But his expression remained unchanged, as he watched calmly, his mind never letting down its guard. The long howl continued, the sonic impact intensifying.
He knew this was his only chance to achieve his goal. If he gave in now, it would be difficult to subdue her next time.
"Teacher, I'm going deaf!"
Xiao Yan collapsed to his knees, cold sweat dripping down his face. He slapped the sand with his hands, feeling dizzy and retching.
He wanted to run away, but his legs were weak. He tried to cover his ears, but it was no use. The sound seemed to penetrate every pore, resonating within his soul.
Just as he felt like fainting, a surge of overwhelming soul power suddenly erupted, enveloping him completely.
It was as if a thin membrane enveloped him, and the sonic waves collided with it, creating ripples.
"Huh!" Xiao Yan finally felt a sense of relief, letting out a sharp breath.
"Brother Bai, this guy doesn't even know how to control himself. This indiscriminate attack nearly killed me!" Xiao Yan slumped to the ground, complaining.
"Hey weakling!"
Hearing the crisp sound coming from the side, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "I may be weak, but you're no better off than this kind of attack." "Huh? Are you okay?"
Xiao Yan stared blankly at Zi Yan, who stood beside him, arms folded, her expression calm and composed.
"Nonsense! What could possibly happen to me? Such a beautiful voice, and you're acting so awful! How tasteless!" Zi Yan said proudly, her head thrown back.
"...!" Xiao Yan.
"Your Majesty!"
Watching her queen's gradually paling face, Yue Mei felt both apprehensive and filled with hatred. This human, what a cruel heart! She wanted to help, but she was powerless. Her face was as white as paper, and she collapsed to the ground.
The moment the dragon's roar rang out, her mind went blank, and she felt dizzy and nearly fainted.
Covering her ears was useless; the sound seemed to penetrate her flesh and reach her soul.
This was just the aftermath at such a distance. It's hard to imagine the devastating impact on their own queen, who faced the source of the sound head-on.
Queen Medusa didn't know how horrific it was, but at that moment, she had only one thought: to tear the deceitful bastard in front of her into pieces, to vent her hatred!
This was her last thought as her eyes turned black and she passed out.
Watching Medusa's delicate body suddenly weaken and threaten to fall, Xiao Bai stopped his howl and, with a firm grip, gathered her into his arms.
Her delicate body, filled with warmth and fragrance, Xiao Bai's eyes were gentle as he caressed her delicate, pale face. Gazing into her closed eyes, he softly murmured, "I'm sorry!"
Regardless of Cai Lin's actions, she harbored no murderous intent. She simply wanted to capture him and return to the Serpent Clan's capital with him.
With a soft sigh, Xiao Bai reached out, grasping Cai Lin's slender legs and lifting her like a princess. He looked towards the royal city, desperate to find a place to investigate her.
Suddenly, Xiao Bai's expression shifted. Behind him, a sharp, piercing sound ripped through the air, and a sharp arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor, hurtling towards him.
"Human, how dare you! Let go of Her Majesty!"
Xiao Bai tilted his head slightly, watching the approaching arrow. Lightning surged from his feet, and with a fierce kick, he spun around and lashed out, slamming down on the incoming arrow.
"Bang!"
With a resounding bang, the incoming arrow shattered.
In an instant, the streak of light, swiftly approaching from afar, was right before his eyes.
"One of the eight commanders of the Serpent People?"
Xiao Bai sensed the pulsing aura of a Dou Wang emanating from them, instantly understanding their identity.
The male snakeman holding a giant bow looked at Xiao Bai, who was holding Medusa in his arms. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he shouted sternly: "Human, no matter who you are, quickly release Her Majesty the Queen, otherwise my snakeman tribe will fight you to the death!"
Xiao Bai glanced at the man indifferently. He was a sturdy man, wearing a thin shirt casually on his body, and his arms were covered with strange tattoos.
The tattoos extended to his palms, revealing two ferocious snake heads. When the snake heads were raised, they seemed to be about to penetrate the body, revealing a hint of fierceness.
After a moment, Xiao Bai retracted his gaze, ignoring this non-mainstream-dressed snakeman. He turned his head to look at Yue Mei, who was still slumped on the ground beside him, and said calmly: "Lead the way, to the royal city!"
The situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to bother with this man. The last time he'd been to the Serpent People, he'd stayed in the temple, rarely appearing. Only Hua She'er, Cai Lin's guard leader, knew his identity.
If Yue Mei hadn't led the way, he'd likely have run into other Serpent People leaders along the way, which would have delayed him considerably.
"Human, you're courting death!"
The burly Serpent People, seeing this human ignoring him, flew into a rage. A cold glint flashed across his sharp eyes.
He raised his massive bow, drew the arrow, and in one go, pointed it directly at Xiao Bai.
"Mobas, don't."
Yue Mei came back to her senses at this moment. Seeing Mobas's actions and Xiao Bai's increasingly gloomy face, she was startled and hurriedly spoke out to stop him.
But it was too late. After the sound of a bowstring bouncing, another stream of light shot out.
Xiao Bai's face completely sank. He slowly put down Cai Lin and put one hand around her slender snake waist.
He stretched out one hand, with his index and middle fingers spread out, and suddenly clamped the arrow that had already shot into his face. A tremendous force came from the arrow, and the feathers trembled.
But those two fingers were like two huge mountains. Even if the energy of the arrow was exhausted, it could not be shaken in the slightest.
Colorful light surged at the fingertips, and a faint thunder sounded. He slightly bent his fingers, and in an instant, the faint roar of a thunder dragon was heard.
He swung the arrow in his hand, and the arrow seemed to transform into a slender colorful thunder dragon, crossing the void and returning the same way.
"Puff!"
Mobas only felt a flash before his eyes, and a slender figure was already in front of him. Before he could react, the arrow had already penetrated his shoulder, leaving a trace of blood and passing through.
"Bang!"
After the arrow penetrated Mobas' body, it did not stop, but continued to fly out, landing on a sand dune in the distance. Suddenly, a loud noise was heard in the desert.
Everyone looked back, and the veins on their foreheads trembled. They saw that the smoke and dust dissipated, and the sand dune with a radius of more than ten meters had been completely razed to the ground.
"Mobas!"
Yue Mei turned her eyes back to Mobas, and saw that he was covering the wound on his shoulder, his face pale, and looking at the human in black with fear.
"Since you're Cai Lin's, I'll spare you this time. If you do it again, it won't be your shoulder, but your head!"
Xiao Bai glanced at Mobas indifferently, then turned and picked up Cai Lin. His gaze fixed on Yue Mei, who was standing beside Mobas, and he said in a clear voice, "Lead the way!"
"You, you're going to help our Queen?"
Yue Mei recalled what had happened to the Queen and her conversation with Xiao Bai, and a flicker of worry crossed her eyes. Although she already had a rough idea, she couldn't help but want to confirm it.
"Yes!" Xiao Bai nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll lead the way!" Yue Mei hesitated for a moment, then, thinking of the Queen's relationship with this man, her eyes settled and she nodded in agreement.
"Yue Mei, you..."
Mobas was startled, his eyes filled with disbelief. Although he didn't know what had happened before, humans and their Serpent People had always been at odds.
Now, the Queen was unconscious for unknown reasons, in the hands of this human, and Yue Mei, instead of joining him in rescuing the Queen, was actually leading him?
"Mobas, I'll explain the details after I get to the Royal City. Right now, the Queen's safety is paramount!" Yue Mei shook her head without further ado, as wings of energy emerged from behind her.
"The Queen's safety? Yue Mei, explain clearly to me, what happened to the Queen?"
Mobas's face changed drastically. He wanted to see the Queen in Xiao Bai's arms, but he didn't dare to go forward. So he grabbed Yue Mei, who was about to fly away.
"Get out!"
Xiao Bai, seeing this person pestering him, couldn't help but become furious. A roaring sound, mixed with a surge of soul power, rushed straight towards Mobas.
"Alas," Yue Mei sighed, looking at Mobas, who stumbled back a few steps, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. She caught the worry and impatience in Xiao Bai's eyes out of the corner of her eye, and nodded inwardly. This human still had some conscience!
"Let's go!"
With that, her figure transformed into a stream of light and rushed straight towards the Royal City.
"Zi Yan, follow me quickly and don't run around. Xiao Yanzi, if you want to come, come too!"
Xiao Bai glanced at the two figures, one tall and one short, not far away. After giving them a warning, he hugged Cai Lin and chased after them. They rushed all the way. With Yue Mei leading the way, they saved a lot of trouble. An hour later, the Serpent Clan's royal city was already in sight.
"How dare you! Don't you know that flying is not allowed above the temple?"
A scolding suddenly rang out in the Serpent Clan's temple, and then a figure rose into the air, blocking the way of several people.
"Hua She'er, don't worry about the rules for now. The Queen is important!" Yue Mei stepped forward and said urgently.
"What's wrong with the Queen?" Hua She'er glanced around and immediately saw the unconscious Queen lying in someone's arms. She was shocked.
Then her eyes moved slightly upwards and looked at the person holding the Queen.
"You, you're Young Master Xiao!"
"Yes!" Xiao Bai nodded, and without further ado, he said bluntly, "Commander Hua She'er! Arrange a room for me. I need to take care of Cai Lin's matter!"
"Okay! Young Master, follow me!" Hua She'er saw Xiao Bai's expression and knew the urgency of the matter. Without hesitation, she led Xiao Bai to the Queen's quarters.
A moment later, Xiao Bai placed Cai Lin on a large, fragrant bed. He waved his hand and said to Hua She'er and Yue Mei behind him, "You two should leave first. No one is allowed in until I'm out!"
"This..."
"Okay! Young Master, I'll trouble you with Her Majesty's affairs. We'll be right outside. If you need anything, just let me know!"
Hua She'er spoke directly as Yue Mei hesitated, pulling the still hesitant Yue Mei away.
"Hua She'er, are we leaving just like that?" Yue Mei asked disapprovingly, seeing Hua She'er closing the door behind her after she emerged.
"I trust Young Master Xiao. We don't need to get involved in the Queen and Young Master Xiao's affairs!" Hua She'er shook her head.
"You actually know him?" Yue Mei only then remembered that the Flower Snake before her seemed quite familiar with the human.
"Yes!" Hua She'er nodded. Seeing the curiosity in Yue Mei's eyes, she whispered, "You all know that the Queen has ascended to Dou Zong, but I'm afraid no one knows how she did it?"
"Is it because of him?" Yue Mei exclaimed in surprise. Then, remembering she couldn't be disturbed in the room, she quickly covered her lips, her eyes flickering with disbelief.
"Indeed!" Hua She'er nodded. "And after that incident, our Queen seemed to treat Young Master Xiao differently!"
"Is that so?" Yue Mei nodded secretly. She wondered why her Queen would be so fond of a human for no reason.
Inside the room, Xiao Bai looked at Cai Lin, who still showed no signs of waking, his brows gradually furrowing.
Logically, after the Medusa he had fought with fell silent, Cai Lin should have emerged soon.
But throughout the journey, he kept sensing, but there was still no movement in her sea of consciousness, which made him a little worried.
"Let me take a look at what's going on in your sea of consciousness?" Xiao Bai said solemnly.
Entering another's sea of consciousness is an extremely dangerous undertaking. It requires a high degree of trust between both parties, and no external interference is permitted. That's why he chose to come to this royal city.
Xiao Bai tapped his finger between Cai Lin's picturesque features, closed his eyes, and let his soul force flow through his fingers.
Instantly, his consciousness was transported to a space filled with a faint mist.
As he scanned the space, Xiao Bai's gaze suddenly paused, his pupils shrinking slightly, a look of disbelief filling his eyes.
"Is this... black energy?!"
