Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 234 The Ancestor of Vipers
Ultimately, under the threat of being skinned alive...

Apas decides to lead Jiang Yuan to find her mother, whose fate is unknown.

“My mother is probably still breathing, otherwise my sisters would definitely be searching the whole desert for me. The Sunset Temple is not a hidden place, so they would have found me easily.”

On the way, Apas said to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan remained silent and continued to use spatial teleportation to move Apas through the desert.

"Are you really human? Your aura is so terrifying, you must be a demon in human skin!" Apas kept chattering, and seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't react, she became bolder and bolder.

"So, what do you want with my mother? Are you planning to cooperate? But my mother already has a partnership with the ancestor of serpents and Khufu, so it's unlikely you'll succeed if you try to cooperate with her."

"If Khufu were dead, maybe it would work. I wonder how the war in the underworld is going. I really hope that Khufu is killed by that Eastern emperor."

Jiang Yuan suddenly stopped, his deep, cold eyes reflecting Apas's figure.

Apas was so frightened that she immediately shut up.

Jiang Yuan said calmly, "I'm looking for your mother to take her soul and body. Oh, right, now I also need to take the soul and body of the Ancestor of Serpents and Scorpions."

"?"

Apas's eyes widened.

Jiang Yuan smiled, and the two figures once again crossed a distance of several kilometers.

After being startled by him, Apas became much quieter on the road, no longer chattering away, but instead unusually calm.

Half a day passed.

Jiangyuan has already traveled a long distance in the Sahara Desert, but is still far from the heartland.

After all, the desert emperors in the heart of the world are one of the rooftops of the world, and it is impossible for an evil temple to be built there.

Jiang Yuan suddenly stopped, which surprised Apas, who was about to speak, but she still said, "Wait a minute, we've arrived at the Evil Temple."

There was nothing in front of us, just endless sand.

As the sun slowly sets in the west, the moon gradually becomes clearer.

A colossal, malevolent temple, dozens of times larger than the Temple of Sunset, appeared in an instant, standing several kilometers away, the moonlight reflecting off it with an unsettling, sinister glow.

"This is the evil temple of the ancestor of snakes and scorpions. It can only be revealed from another hidden space when the sun sets and the moon is just beginning to shine. Many snake and scorpion demons also come to the evil temple to offer tribute at this time."

As Apas spoke, the nearby sand rustled, and many snakes and scorpions crawled out.

Behind the two were dozens of snakes and scorpions.

However, they were killed by Jiang Yuan as soon as they showed themselves, including a powerful serpent lord.

Before Apas could react, they had already turned into ashes, merging with the sand and gravel.

So strong!

They killed even monarch-level beings so easily!
Apas was shocked; she was now 100% certain that the human before her was an unknown emperor!
"How did you end up bringing me to the evil temple of the ancestor of venomous snakes?" Jiang Yuan asked.

“Didn’t you want the soul and body of the Serpent Ancestor? Its evil temple is closer, why don’t you go and kill it first?” Apas said, swallowing hard.

My dear mother, this is the only thing I can do for you.

This human in front of you is too powerful; your precious little daughter can't stop him from coming to find you.

Apas silently recited in her mind.

Jiang Yuan didn't say much about what Apas said.

His figure flashed above the venomous temple.

Through the thick walls, one could see the ancestor of snakes and scorpions receiving tributes from numerous snakes and scorpions, with fresh meat and precious treasures being offered to it.

Jiang Yuan didn't intend to make too much of a fuss.

This is the Sahara Desert, and we don't yet know the desert emperor's stance. Revealing too much power might incur his displeasure.

The emperor at the level of the roof of the world has already stood at the top of the earth, and is currently beyond his ability to contend with.

With that thought, Jiang Yuan's figure disappeared into the night, following the moonlight into the evil temple.

A few minutes later, the space inside the evil temple trembled, and various strange roars could be faintly heard before returning to calm.

Those snakes and scorpions that entered the evil temple to offer tribute never came out.

Apas stood alone outside.

Just as they were wondering why there was no sound inside, the Serpent Temple collapsed with a crash.

"boom!!!"

Dust and sand are flying everywhere!

Just as a sandstorm was about to hit, Jiang Yuan appeared behind Apas and took her more than ten kilometers away.

“To the Medusa Temple,” Jiang Yuan said briefly.

"You...you've already killed the ancestor of serpents and scorpions?" Apas asked cautiously.

Jiang Yuan remained silent, and a sub-emperor's essence appeared in his hand.

Sensing the aura of the ancestor of serpents above, Apas's pupils trembled violently.

This is actually the essence of the ancestor of snakes and scorpions!
“Alright, I’ll lead the way for you right away!” Apas immediately patted his rather large chest and said.

Next, Apas fully demonstrated what a loyal collaborator should do.

He led Jiang Yuan very seriously toward the Medusa Temple.

Just over half an hour later.

Another magnificent and enormous evil temple, just like the Snake and Scorpion Temple, came into view.

Like the Medusa Temple, the location of the Medusa Temple is unknown to humankind.

If it weren't for Apas's guidance, Jiang Yuan would have spent a considerable amount of time searching for the evil temple in the Sahara Desert.

Unfortunately, Jiuyou was still fighting for him in the Lesser Underworld.

Only he, as the boss, could personally step in.

"This is the Medusa Temple."

Apas closed her eyes and sensed the surroundings for a moment before saying, "There's no trace of my mother inside anymore. She must be dead. Only my two older sisters are inside. They must both want to kill me first, then kill each other, and inherit my mother's power. They...have discovered me."

The moment the words left his mouth, two enormous shadows flew out of the evil temple at lightning speed.

Under the moonlight, the two daughters of Medusa's mother revealed their true forms.

They are very different from Apas's human form, belonging to the stereotypical Medusa.

Its upper body is human, with long hair that resembles a venomous snake coiled around it, and its eyes gleam with a cold, eerie light. The eyes are earthy brown and contain a petrifying magic.

Below her slender waist is a snake's body, and the scales on her tail shimmer with an eerie luster, exuding mystery and eeriness as she meanders.

“My dear sister, you’ve actually come back.” A smile appeared on the face of the eldest sister, Pemoje.

“Our mother is dead, and we were worried about where to find you.” Second sister Diino swayed her body and slowly approached Apas.

Their tone was completely devoid of any intimacy towards blood relatives; instead, it revealed a chilling murderous intent.

It concerned the supreme ruling power of an empire, and they had long wanted to kill their sisters.

Obviously, targeting the weakest of them all is the most suitable option.
