239: Snake People

Seeing the Snake-People Clan woman’s nervous expression, Mu Wuchen merely nodded slightly and spoke indifferently.

“Do all of you, the Snake-People Clan, speak the human language?”

Hearing Mu Wuchen’s question, the Snake-People Clan woman was slightly startled, seemingly pondering.

However, she seemed to have never considered this question before. After a few breaths, she shook her head, her expression still full of vigilance.

“I don’t know. This is the common language of our Snake-People Clan. All Snake-People Clan members can speak it. As for why it’s the same as the human language, I don’t know…”

Hearing her reply, Mu Wuchen frowned slightly.

Could it be that when the Secret Realm opened before, some humans stayed here and taught the Snake-People Clan their language…

Or…

“Where does your Snake-People Clan live? Who leads you?”

Mu Wuchen asked.

Mu Wuchen did not believe that a race with such intelligence would be an unorganized mess without intelligence.

However, upon hearing Mu Wuchen’s words, the Snake-People Clan woman’s expression became extremely vigilant.

She looked around, seemingly seeking help. After realizing that no one could help her, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Her clansmen had told her before to be wary of humans; humans were ruthless, and trusting them rashly could very likely lead to disaster!

But in just a moment, the Snake-People Clan woman met a pair of strange pink eyes.

As Mu Wuchen activated his Heavenly Fox Eyes, the Snake-People Clan woman’s pupils instantly dilated, then became dazed.

In just a few breaths, her memories flooded into Mu Wuchen’s mind.

“Let’s go.”

In just a moment, Mu Wuchen obtained the information he wanted and led Su Meier, Luo Shuihan, Hong Yu, and Azure Cloud away…

A few minutes later.

The Snake-People Clan woman’s dilated pupils finally re-focused, and her vacant eyes regained their sparkle.

She looked at her hands, murmuring in confusion, seemingly trying to recall something, but she couldn’t remember anything…

“What just happened?”

“Why am I here…”

…

In a secret chamber buried by sand and stone, Mu Wuchen frowned as he looked around.

He came here based on the Snake-People Clan woman’s memories, but it was different from what was in her memory…

In the Snake-People Clan woman’s memory, at the entrance of the secret chamber, there were two sand and stone puppets, whose purpose was to guard this underground secret chamber.

And inside the secret chamber were hundreds of weapons.

But now, the sand and stone puppets were gone.

The hundreds of weapons had also vanished without a trace.

“Could it be that this place was discovered by others before I arrived, and everything was taken away?”

Mu Wuchen murmured.

Many humans came to the Profound Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm, so it was reasonable for this place to be discovered…

According to memory, the Snake-People Clan lived within a special space, and this place was the entrance to that space…

The space here was somewhat special; it was not always possible to go to the space where the Snake-People Clan lived. Every ten days, the entrance would appear for one day.

And once missed, one would have to wait another ten days…

Mu Wuchen and the others were relatively lucky; there were only three days left until the next entrance opened.

Three days passed quickly. A strange power fluctuation appeared in the room. Mu Wuchen formed a hand seal, and with a peculiar spatial fluctuation, the scenery around Mu Wuchen instantly changed…

When they reappeared, the scene around Mu Wuchen was no longer a desert but a lush rainforest…

Seeing the scene before him, Mu Wuchen was slightly stunned.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and took out the map given to him by the Profound Weapon Pavilion Elder. It indeed matched quite a bit…

This is?

A spatial rift…

Mu Wuchen instantly guessed the situation of this place.

This was a special spatial rift, connected to the outside world in a peculiar way.

Unlike the thin and barren spiritual energy of the outside world, this place was like a paradise…

Compared to the outside world, this place was clearly more suitable for living and cultivating.

“Who goes there?!”

Just then, an angry roar reached Mu Wuchen’s ears.

A few breaths later, several powerful energy fluctuations appeared. Soon, a team of tall Snake-People Clan members surrounded Mu Wuchen and the four women.

They were seven or eight male Snake-People Clan members, handsome in appearance and robust in build, with gray-black curly long hair casually draped over their shoulders.

Their upper bodies were covered in simple clothing made of animal hides. On the surface, they looked like primitive people…

Each of them held an imposing weapon, surrounding Mu Wuchen and the others. Their eyes were vigilant as they looked at Mu Wuchen and the others. Behind each of them, a long snake tail trailed, looking quite peculiar…

What surprised Mu Wuchen the most was their cultivation realm.

These individuals had high cultivation realms; according to human cultivation realms, they had cultivation comparable to Heavenly King experts!

Such strength was much greater than the half-human, half-demon races Mu Wuchen had seen in the outside world!

Seeing the arrival of Mu Wuchen and the others, the Snake-People Clan men looked vigilant, and a leading Snake-People Clan member spoke coldly.

“The Snake-Human Queen has commanded that humans are not welcome here!”

“You either wait ten days to leave here and return to explore outside, or you will be taken by us and put into prison until this spatial rift closes, and then we will release you!”

Hearing the other party’s words, Mu Wuchen was slightly stunned.

These Snake-People Clan members…

They are quite good people…

In the desert, the Snake-People Clan woman had already told him that she had never harmed humans when she saw him…

And the Snake-People Clan man in front of him, although full of vigilance towards him, seemed…

He also had no intention of killing them.

They seemed to just want him to leave here.

Or to imprison him until the Profound Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm ended, and then release him…

As for the Snake-Human Queen they mentioned, Mu Wuchen had already learned about her from the Snake-People Clan woman’s memories.

She was the leader of the Snake-People Clan.

She was also the spiritual symbol of the Snake-People Clan.

Her status within the entire Snake-People Clan was extremely revered.

It could be said that without the Snake-Human Queen, there would be no Snake-People Clan today…

The language and various rules of the Snake-People Clan seemed to have been established by the Snake-Human Queen herself…

It was just that the Snake-People Clan woman’s status was not high enough, and her strength was insufficient, so she had no chance to see the true face of the Snake-Human Queen…

Mu Wuchen’s expression shifted, becoming even more curious about the Snake-Human Queen’s true identity.

Why did she know the human language?

What was her true identity?

What was her purpose in coming here?

Was she human, or Snake-People Clan…

Or…

What kind of being.
