"What did you say?" The snake girl's last words made the murderous intent in Rogge's eyes temporarily dissipate, he stared coldly at the snake girl's charming face, and heard her say: "You heard it right, the Titan Prince Tyrell is hanging by a thread!"

"What do you mean by that?" asked Rogge, staring at the snake girl with a suspicious look.

The snake girl glanced at the blades surrounding her and said, "If you want to talk to me about this, you'd better let me go first, this is not the way to talk about things!"

"Why should I believe you?" asked Rogge, staring coldly into the snake woman's eyes.

"Because you don't have to doubt it at all, the fight just now speaks for itself. The snake girl smiled slightly, spread her hands unhurriedly, and said, "I am not your opponent, although I don't know how you solved my spell, but I have used all my strength." ”

"In that sense, you're telling the truth. Rogge nodded confidently, hooking his fingers to recall the five dangling blades.

He flicked the tip of his claw blade on the pendant on his chest and said, "Your magic may be strong, but the person who gave me this magic talisman has more power than you, and it will protect me and some of the little villains around me from the control of your evil magic." ”

He glanced at the serpent girl's face with a sudden and curious expression and said, "However, I won't tell you his name, we'd better get back to the point and tell me, what did you mean when you said that Tyrell's life was hanging by a thread?"

Before the words fell, a group of tall, sturdy, heavily armed male snake soldiers suddenly rushed out of the stone gate behind the snake girl, surrounding the four of them, Rogge glanced at them with a cold gaze, and his gaze fell on the snake girl's face.

The snake girl silently looked around at the soldiers around her, a chill flashed in her eyes, and she said in a cold tone: "Stand down, who allowed you to come out?"

When the snake soldiers heard the order, they lowered their heads in awe and turned to retreat in the direction of the stone gate, and a snowy scimitar flew from behind Rogge, hitting the head of a snake soldier in the middle, and the soldier screamed and blood splattered, and fell to the ground.

The serpent girl's sharp gaze went straight over Rogge's shoulders and shot at Murphy not far away, and the adventurer, freed from the mind control magic, strode towards her with the scabbard in his angry hand.

Seeing this, the surrounding snake men turned around together, and several of them raised their weapons and charged at Murphy with murderous spirits.

Seeing this, Tali, who was holding Catherine in her arms, slammed the staff on the ground hard, and a flying droplet of water spread out from around the staff, and the snake soldier who was hit by the droplet was immediately left with a bloody hole and fell to the ground wailing.

The snake soldier on the side screamed and flashed his long knife and pounced on Tali, but Catherine pulled out a silver handcuff and raised her hand and shot him through the head.

The loud gunfire alarmed more snake soldiers, they rushed out of the cave, brandishing long knives and pounced on the four people, a wisp of killing intent appeared in Rogge's eyes, and he was about to make a move, when he suddenly heard the snake girl shouting: "Stop!"

The surrounding snake soldiers heard the shout and lowered their weapons and looked back at her, but Murphy and Catherine did not stop, and the bee stings and silver bullets slammed into the heads of the snake soldiers.

There were two crisp "bangs", a swift blade knocked away the silver bullet shot by Catherine, and the other blade swept away the bee stings on Murphy's scabbard, and Rogge's sharp shout echoed in the ears of the two: "Enough, don't fight anymore!"

There was a dead silence at the scene, everyone froze in place, only Rog and the snake girl stared at each other silently, from the snake girl's eyes, Rogge read a trace of appreciation, only to hear her order softly: "Go back and take the body away." ”

The snake people bowed their heads respectfully, picked up the corpses of the dead soldiers, and turned and retreated into the stone gate.

"I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding. Rogge glanced back at the angry Murphy and said back to the snake girl.

"I'm sorry, but it's all gone. Introduce myself, I'm Akalu, the Snake Empress, and welcome to my palace. The Snake Empress glanced at everyone's hostile faces and said calmly.

"Snake Empress, you are the supreme monarch of the Snake Clan?" Rogge looked at her face again, and indeed felt an imperial aura that was different from ordinary snake man lords.

"That's right, just like your human Holy Emperor. There was a hint of arrogance in the snake empress's smile.

"I'm no stranger to you, I know where you're coming from and I can guess where you're going, but I have to remind you that your opponents are faster than you," she said. ”

"Who's your opponent?" asked Rogge, cautiously speaking.

The Serpent Empress's expression became solemn, and she said in a deep voice, "Just last night, a dark wizard named William the 'Bloody Hand' came here and took a bottle of poison from my palace. ”

Everyone present was taken aback when they heard the name, and Rogge continued to ask, "What does he want to do?"

"That vial is the most potent poison in the world, and only it can poison the Titans, and other poisons cannot affect the giant's massive body at all. The Snake Empress said with a gloomy face.

"That guy wants to poison Tyrell!" exclaimed Tully

"Why are you telling us this?" asked Rogge, staring calmly at the Snake Empress.

"Because I am reluctant to give my treasure snake venom to that villain," said the Empress with hatred, "that fellow has attacked my palace in the night with a powerful black magic and threatened me to hand over the snake venom!"

"So you're going to tell me the news and want me to do bad things about William?" Rogge sneered.

"That's right, the enemy of your enemy is your friend, and I think you deserve to be trusted!" said the Snake Empress with a snow-white arm stretched out to Rogge.

"But how do you know us so well?" asked Rogge, still skeptical, indifferent to the Empress's overtures.

"It's easy!" the Empress Snake Tail shook in front of him, put her hand gently on his shoulder, and smiled meaningfully, "Because you killed one of my snake queens and her daughter!"

"Are you talking about the snake tribe in Hot Spring Valley?" Hearing the snake empress's words, Rogge suddenly became vigilant, and the three people standing behind him also pricked up their ears.

"That's right, I learned about your existence because of that incident, and I've been sending people to find out about you, if it weren't for you who happened to be here, I also planned to send someone to invite you halfway!"

The Snake Empress looked at everyone with a smile, and suddenly changed her words: "But even so, you are not my enemies, on the contrary, I want to thank you for everything you have done to help me save me a lot of trouble." ”

I saw her withdraw the hand she stretched out to Rogge, and her face turned gloomy again, and she said, "The Queen of the Snake Siluka's mother and daughter have been opposing me for a long time, and not long ago they openly rebelled and broke away from my control, and fled to the hot spring valley to the south to fight against me. ”

"If it weren't for the two armies of the Titans standing in the way, I would have sent someone to exterminate that traitor, and I was so happy when I heard that you had beheaded her and her precious daughter, do you know how I feel?

The Empress stopped beside Rogge and smiled gloatingly.

"It's an honor to help you, it seems that we can indeed benefit each other!" Rogge heard this, his hanging heart relaxed, and asked, "What else did William say when he took the poison?"

"He gave the poison to four of his men and asked them to send it back, I think it should be to Thundercastle, everyone knows that Thorin, the second prince of the Titans, is preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and his sworn enemy, the third prince Tyrell, is also going to participate. The Empress said.

"We've got to find a way to stop them!" Rogge said back to Murphy and Tali, "at least someone has to rush to Thundercastle and try to inform Antonio so that they beware of Thorin being secretly murdered!"

"Leave this matter to me! if I can catch up with those people, I'll kill them directly!" said Murphy, glancing at the Empress with an angry look.

"Don't worry, I have something for you, come with me!" the Empress interrupted them, turning and twisting her waist towards the stone door.

Passing through the straight corridor inside the door, the group followed the queen up a serpentine ramp that spiraled upward, and along the way stood countless snake-man soldiers in strong armor, watching everyone with fierce eyes.

When they arrived at the large hall with the roof of the cave, they were greeted by a group of snake women wearing strange headdresses, and the empress introduced these high snake witches to Rogge and the others, and then led them to the main hall and sat down on stone seats.

A witch took out a crystal bottle carved with a snake from the storage room and handed it to Rogge, to whom the queen said, "This is the antidote to the venom of the Treasure Snake, and it can be brought back to life if taken within twenty-four hours of poisoning." ”

Rogge took the antidote and thanked the empress, who sent a piece of golden snake scales and said, "This is a snake scale card that symbolizes my identity, wear it on your body, and no snake people dare to stop it!"

Rogge took the Golden Scales, handed the antidote and the snake scales to Murphy, and told him to rush to Thundercastle immediately, contact Antonio and work together to protect Tyrell's safety, Murphy got up and said goodbye to everyone and hurried away.

"As for you, where are you going next?" asked Rogge as the Snake Empress turned back to Rogge after Murphy left.

"We're going to Grey Harbor to meet Jack, the 'Sea Soul'. Rogge replied bluntly.

The Empress smiled and nodded, "I guess so, Captain Jack is now the focus of contention between the two sides, and whoever can win the help of his group of dead ghost pirates will have more than half of the chances, but it is not easy to get his loyalty." ”

"Does Her Majesty suggest it to us?" asked Rogge, who heard the Empress's voice, leaned over and whispered.

The empress smiled without saying a word, got up and walked to a stone platform on the left side of the hall, her jade hand gently brushed the surface of the stone platform, and in a red light, a suspended blood-red crystal ball appeared on the stone platform.

Rogge and the others got up and gathered around, and the empress called Rogge to the front, pointed to the crystal ball and said to him, "You hold it down with your hand, and it will tell you a lot of things you want to know." ”

Rogge stared at the crystal ball for a moment, then stepped forward and pressed his hand on the surface of the crystal ball, and the red light instantly flooded him.

As his vision gradually regained clarity, Rogge found himself on a small island, with a warship quietly moored in the sea next to the island, and the black and white skull flag fluttering high on the mast caught Rogge's eye.

Suddenly, the rough laughter of the pirates came from behind Rog, and he looked back to see a group of disheveled pirates coming out of the jungle screaming.

Suddenly, a black lightning flashed in the sky, the sky suddenly became gloomy, a pair of eyes flashing with evil light appeared in the dark clouds of the sky, and the surroundings instantly became invisible, and the screams of the pirates echoed in Rogge's ears.

"What's going on?" Rogge's eyebrows suddenly clouded, and the light flashed in front of him, and a hideous transparent grimace rushed straight in front of Rogge, waving his hand and slashing at his head.
