"Shh...shh..."
The group walked very lightly, but the massive Skeleton King inevitably made a sound, giving them the illusion that their souls were being stared at.
Besides the stone bricks underfoot, the walls on both sides and the ceiling are covered with murals that record the origin of the snake people.
Medusa, as the progenitor of the snake people, held a supreme position among them. However, Medusa did not record her origins here, so no one knows who created her.
[Yang Xing: I bet it was some unscrupulous ancient sorcerer back then!]
[Yang Xing: Looking at Medusa's complete lack of respect for her creator, she was probably killed by her own creation as soon as she was created!]
[Xiao He: Disrespect? What makes you say that?]
Yang Xing: I've seen and analyzed many murals. In their time, murals were history books. What was engraved on murals was what they wanted to tell future generations.
[Yang Xing: If something clearly has a significant impact but isn't engraved, it only shows that the person recording history didn't care about it at all, or simply didn't take it seriously.]
[Yang Xing: This shows that Medusa was not grateful to her creator at all, so I guess that creator is already dead.]
[Xiao He: That's too tragic.]
[Yang Xing: In comparison, the Ten Elemental Gods were also a later addition; they were at least several eras removed from Medusa.]
The robot Beibei squatted in Xiao He's pocket and poked two holes in her clothes, just enough to expose her two eyes.
On the surface, Xiao He was observing silently, but in reality, he was communicating with Yang Xing while quickly reviewing the various documents he had sent.
[Xiao He: How many eras are there in this world?]
[Yang Xing: I honestly didn't know that. The "Genesis" recorded by our ancestors wasn't the world's birthday. After extensive research, I found that it meant more about "ushering in a new era of intelligent life."]
[Xiao He: Is that so...?]
Yang Xing: Yes, so you must be careful. Medusa may not be very intelligent, but her strength is absolutely top-notch!
Xiao He couldn't help but glance at Sang Mai Kui.
"Could it be that he intends to use Medusa against Queen Guribo...?"
"But then again, how did Medusa die...?"
Seeing that the road seemed to have no end, Xiao He sent this question to Yang Xing.
Given her extraordinary strength, her death seems quite suspicious.
Yang Xing: I can't figure that out either, but you just said that the Skeleton King is Medusa's nemesis?
[Xiao He: That's what the snake-people themselves said.]
Yang Xing: I think the possibility is very small. If she really had a nemesis, her grave wouldn't have been preserved until now.
[Yang Xing: But like you said, the cause of her death back then is indeed a mystery...]
As she spoke, Xiao He frowned, feeling as if she had overlooked something.
Wang Xuefeng, at the very front, didn't utter a single word, seemingly just silently leading the way. There were no forks in the road; they simply had to keep going downhill.
Rose grew increasingly nervous because the content of these murals was extremely eerie.
It's like a long documentary.
From the time when Medusa was the only member of the Serpent People, she rose to become the overlord of the continent in just a few hundred years.
She will never transform into a human; she will always have a long snake tail.
She often appeared in the forest, using dense bushes to cover her lower body or hiding her lower body in the water, using her alluring upper body to seduce the people of that time.
Rose is from the Elven race, and elves love beautiful things and fear evil things. Medusa happens to be the latter.
She even wanted to find a piece of cloth to blindfold herself.
Xiao He was brave and wasn't afraid of these things. She just wanted to see the end as quickly as possible and find out how Medusa died.
However, the next moment, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
Yang Xing: No... have you ever thought about this...?
[Xiao He: Yes]
Before he could type out the next sentence, Xiao He and Xiao He simultaneously thought of the same thing.
The murals are nearing completion, depicting countless snake people building her tomb.
Before that, there was no sign that her strength had declined.
"ah--"
A scream pierced through the thick wall.
It's easy to tell how much pain and despair this person was in before he died.
"Boom!"
A violent tremor occurred beneath my feet, as if something underground was awakening.
Yang Xing: She's not dead at all!
After a brief pause, Yang Xing, far away, still typed out the words with a deeply moved heart.
[Yang Xing: Holy crap! Run! This is definitely a trap!!!]
Before Xiao He could reply, she immediately turned her gaze to Wang Xuefeng.
The latter tightened his grip on her hand, but clearly showed no sign of backing down or running away.
The silent Sangmaik also frowned, and the tip of his sword emitted a soft hum.
Although he was aware that Medusa was not dead, to him it was just a way of skipping a step in the resurrection process.
He was determined to subdue Medusa!
That's the end.
There is a dead end ahead.
There is only one relief mural, about ten meters high, which serves as the last "shot" of this "documentary".
Just as Xiao He had predicted, Medusa herself lay down in the coffin.
