Chapter 1968 Azure Sea Pearl! Wang Teng Strikes! (2)

Wang Teng closely followed behind. He felt a sense of urgency and believed that the protective formation above them wouldn't hold much longer.
The poison tide this time was particularly terrifying, perhaps something that wouldn't be encountered for centuries.
Wang Teng couldn't help but feel unlucky.
Damn it, why did he have to meet everything?
Wang Teng cursed in his heart. He was extremely frustrated and glared at Landon, hoping that this individual could provide some good news, or else he might just end up dealing with him himself.
Landon stopped in his tracks and glanced around him with a frown.
Something didn't feel right!
However, when he scanned the area, he didn't discover anything unusual.
"Could it just be my imagination?" Landon mumbled to himself, and without thinking too much about it, he continued his dash towards the central palace.
A pillar of light shot into the sky from the top of the palace, sustaining the protective array.
The queen of the snakeman race was there too.
Landon was aware of all this, but he had no other choice but to proceed.
Fortunately, the outbreak of the poison tide presented a rare opportunity for him, the only opportunity he would get.
Still, the poison tide above him was deeply unsettling, and he couldn't afford to waste time. He needed to acquire that item as quickly as possible and find a hiding place.
Soon, Landon arrived at the central palace and concealed himself in a corner to observe.
This was a massive and majestic palace, occupying a vast area, larger than any of the other outside halls.
The palace had a pointed roof, and it was intricately carved with serpents. These serpents were depicted coiling around columns and adorning the eaves, almost everywhere you looked.
"These snakemen like to worship serpents!" Wang Teng thought to himself.
"After all, the snakemen have half of the serpent bloodline," Round Ball said. "However, only those unique and powerful serpent bloodlines can merge with human bloodlines to give rise to the snakemen."
Wang Teng nodded. He felt that he was learning something new.
Standing near the palace, a faint sense of pressure emanated from the central pillar of light, diffusing in all directions.
King Teng couldn't help but look up at the central palace with its towering spire. He saw the coiled serpent carved onto the spire, its massive mouth wide open, and the pillar of light seemed to be spewing out from it, creating a surreal sight.
"This should be the queen's inner palace."
Staying hidden in the distance, he activated his Real Eye and observed. He saw that several cosmos-stage martial warriors were guarding the palace.
To his surprise, he noticed a familiar figure—Zagu!
The defiant snakeman who had refused to submit to the queen!
Wang Teng couldn't help but ponder Zagu's fate, wondering if he had ultimately surrendered to the queen.
Speaking of the queen, she was quite beautiful indeed. If it were up to him, he might begrudgingly accept the chance to bask in her presence.
However, the notion of becoming a slave to the queen was entirely out of the question. King Teng's sole desire was to experience the queen's majestic authority, with no other ulterior motives in mind.
"There are so many cosmos-stage martial warriors. Will Landon be able to enter?" Wang Teng was puzzled.
As it turned out, he could.
Landon's concealing skill allowed him to evade the cosmos-stage martial warriors and enter the palace successfully.
Compared to the talents from the Stellar Academies, these snakemen martial warriors were still lacking.
They were all at the cosmos stage so they weren't as powerful as Landon.
As for Wang Teng, since Landon managed to enter, he could too.
In the palace, a cold aura filled the air, and the surroundings were adorned with numerous snakemen sculptures and murals. These statues were crafted from a black stone with emerald gems embedded in their eyes, giving them an eerie, lifelike appearance as though they were watching every intruder.
The walls and pillars were also constructed from dark stone or metal materials, exuding a chilling atmosphere.
Wang Teng took careful, silent steps, making no noise that might give away his presence.
The palace was too spacious, and any sound could be magnified to the extreme.
A cosmos-stage or heaven-stage martial warrior could pick up the slightest sound and discover him.
Landon was equally cautious, ensuring that he didn't make any noise. He managed to evade the patrols throughout the palace, slowly progressing towards the deeper areas of the palace.
The palace's interior was vast and complex, and it was easy to get lost without a guide.
However, Landon appeared to know exactly where he was going, navigating through the numerous corridors with a clear purpose.
Soon, a faint light emerged at the end of one of the corridors, catching Wang Teng's attention.
Landon carefully approached.
Surprisingly, there were no guards at the end of the corridor.
Walking out of the corridor, Landon entered a spacious hall with a towering throne at its center.
A mesmerizing snakewoman was coiled upon the throne, her alluring figure reclined in a way that emanated an irresistible charm. A simple movement released a captivating allure that was nothing short of terrifying.
Her serpentine lower half swayed slightly, exuding a unique and exotic allure.
Undeniably, the queen possessed a charisma that surpassed all other snakewomen.
Even someone as resolute as Landon couldn't help but be momentarily captivated upon seeing her up close.
Fortunately, Wang Teng had already seen Little Qing'er and Cang Yu, two charismatic snakewomen, and he had developed some immunity. Therefore, the queen didn't affect him as profoundly.
