Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 233 Apas with a Flat Belly
The news, worth millions, was just released like that.

However, given the life-saving grace, it's worth every penny.

After parting ways with Jeff and the others, Jiang Yuan continued toward the Medusa Temple.

There are many evil temples in the desert, built by Khufu for the ancestor of serpents and the mother of Medusa. The largest evil temple of Medusa is located in the middle of an oasis lake.

The Temple of the Setting Sun is also on this route.

Jiang Yuan's silhouette flickers under the wind, sand, and scorching sun, each flicker covering a distance of several kilometers.

Before long, we saw a small oasis ruin. The water source had long since dried up, the plants were completely dehydrated, and most of them were buried by yellow sand.

As for demons, there are a few warriors among them.

Jiang Yuan casually destroyed it.

after awhile.

Another new oasis, situated on a long slope on the back of a massive sand dune, where the grand yet dilapidated Temple of the Setting Sun stands.

From a distance, it seems as if one can see the glorious dynasties of Egypt thousands of years ago.

The next moment, Jiang Yuan appeared within three kilometers of the Sunset Temple.

At that moment, an evil light hidden in the sunlight fell upon him, carrying a mixture of shadow, curse, and undead power.

Following the source of the evil light, one could see a large, bluish-green eyeball, emitting a faint glow.

Burning evil eyes.

It can cause ulceration and burning of living organisms.

However, it's of little use to Jiangyuan.

Without taking the Scorching Evil Eye, Jiang Yuan went directly into the Sunset Temple.

After passing through several dilapidated ancient halls, Jiang Yuan appeared like a ghost deep within the Sunset Temple.

The place remains a scene of ruins, with a large hole in the ceiling allowing intense sunlight to stream in.

Jiang Yuan's gaze was fixed on a large rock wall, behind which a life force was fast asleep, completely unaware that a guest had arrived in the territory.

Apas was sleeping soundly, with a little drool escaping from the corner of her mouth.

I don't know what kind of wonderful dream I had.

Until my stomach started growling.

Apas suddenly opened her eyes.

"Coo coo coo~~"

"Ugh, I'm so hungry~" Apas rubbed her empty stomach, which was shrunken from hunger.

She hadn't eaten for a long time.

"Damn humans! They promised to provide me with delicious food after we cooperated, but they've only provided it a few times and then disappeared. Humans are indeed untrustworthy! And where has that stupid maid gone? I'm starving!" Apas roared angrily.

The sound echoed in the empty Sunset Temple.

She's the only one left here.

Without a source of food, she dared not leave the Sunset Temple, otherwise she would be doomed if her sisters found out.

Although I won't starve to death, it's really tough!

Apas wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her little hands and looked up at the hole in the ceiling.

"It's daytime again. I wonder how the war in the underworld is going. I hope that old bastard Khufu is killed by that Eastern Emperor, so that Mother won't be forced to submit to Khufu anymore."

"Gu Gu Gu~~"

Apas was talking to herself, her stomach growling loudly as she reached her limit of hunger.

If she doesn't eat anything, it's better to let her die in this desolate, eerie temple.

"No, we should try leaving the Temple of Sunset."

Apas decided to go out and find something to eat that evening.

Before that, I'll take a long nap.

Apas fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The moment her eyes closed, an enticing aroma of meat wafted to her nose. "It smells like grilled meat, so delicious~ This dream is really nice, but I wonder what kind of meat it is, it smells even better than the meat of the killer scorpion." Apas smacked her lips and mumbled sleepily.

The aroma grew stronger and stronger.

Apas opened her eyes again, staring intently at the grill not far away, on which sat a large skewer of grilled meat.

The tempting oil drips onto the flame, and as it vaporizes, the aroma intensifies.

"Meat???"

Apas blinked.

Thinking she was starving and dreaming, she pounced on him.

He lunged for a bite, juices gushing out, his mouth stuffed full of grilled meat.
Her cherry-like mouth revealed her voracious appetite; she devoured a piece of roasted meat the size of her entire body in just a few seconds.

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!"

"Do you still want to eat?"

"I still want to!" Apas nodded repeatedly.

Another large skewer of grilled meat appeared out of nowhere, and Apas's eyes lit up as she began to devour it again.

But after only a few bites, she finally realized something was wrong and looked behind her while chewing on the grilled meat.

A human I don't recognize is looking at me with a smile.

"!"

"Who are you?" Apas was startled.

"The person who grilled the meat for you," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Are you from that union or something?"

Apas was somewhat wary; the aura emanating from this human was unusual, and she couldn't sense his magical rank.

"No, that guild you mentioned might have already been wiped out," Jiang Yuan said, shaking his head.

Apas suddenly realized.

"No wonder they didn't come; they've already been wiped out. Everyone says humans are unreliable, but this is just too unreliable!"

"Alright, now that you've eaten my barbecue, can you answer one question for me?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"What question? Big brother, please ask!" Apas said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Is Medusa's mother dead?"

Upon hearing this question, Apas looked at Jiang Yuan with innocent, big eyes: "Big brother, what is the mother of Medusa?"

This little snake seems to have gotten addicted to pretending.

They really think they're human children.

"Aren't you the youngest daughter of the Mother Medusa? How could you not know who the Mother Medusa is? Tell me the answer right now, or I'll shave your head, gouge out your eyes, and skin you alive!" Jiang Yuan threatened.
With her identity exposed, Apas simply stopped pretending, and her monarchical aura suddenly appeared, while her hair danced like countless long snakes.

"You know I'm Medusa, and you still dare to talk to me like that? Today I'm going to use you, this human who disrespects Medusa, to fill my stomach, which I haven't had for who knows how many days!"

The harsh words suddenly softened at the end.

Jiang Yuan released an even stronger imperial aura, far more powerful than the feeling that the Mother of Medusa gave to Apas.

It was even more powerful than Khufu, whom Apas had once seen!
"Big brother, I don't know if Mother is dead or not, but even if she isn't, she'll be dying soon~" Apas said in a sweet, coquettish tone.

There was no trace of the terrifying look that suggested he was about to devour people.

What he said was indeed quite outrageous.

“Alright, then you can lead me to the Mother of Medusa,” Jiang Yuan said.

Apas shook her head: "I'm afraid that won't work. If I leave the Temple of Sunset, my sisters will definitely send their men to kill me immediately."

"Choose one: be killed by me or be killed by your sister."

A skinning knife appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand.
