At the moment when Long Xingyu stepped out of the forest, what appeared in front of Long Xingyu was an incomparably magnificent city, and the size of that city was not much larger than that of the imperial capital of the Demon Martial Empire.

"That is the city that our people built after retreating into the underworld, and it is the only remaining place for our people. For countless years, in order to continue our bloodline, we had to live in this underground world that did not see the light of day. Long Xingyu could hear that the beautiful snake at this moment seemed to be a little sad.

Thinking about it, no matter how powerful a civilization was in the past, after experiencing a catastrophe, it can only survive in the end, and whoever this situation is put on, everyone will feel sad and lost.

Entering the city, Long Xingyu found that the number of snake people living here is also very amazing, and after a little calculation, he found that even now, the entire snake people should have hundreds of thousands of people alive, and what shocked Long Xingyu was that the snake people here, the worst of them all have tenth-level cultivation, and saint-level and god-level masters can be said to be all over the street. It can really be called "god-level walking all over the streets, and the saint-level is not as good as a dog", if this power is put in today's human world, there is no need to think about it, even if the highest combat power of all races is combined, it is impossible to be the opponent of the snake people. Of course, it can also be imagined from this that the snake people were so strong back then.

In this orderly, stable and harmonious city, Long Xingyu also found that unlike humans, there seems to be no entanglement of interests between these snake people, most of them are bartering, and generally people will not have others to fight or grab things, as if they are deliberately avoiding fighting. Moreover, these snake people living in the city greet each other when they meet each other, and stop to talk from time to time.

Walking along the way, when they saw the beautiful snake and Long Xingyu and others, those snake people would avoid both sides, and bowed respectfully towards the beautiful snake, and the beautiful snake also bowed slightly towards them.

"You must be very popular among your people, everyone is very respectful when they see you! and their eyes are completely respectful from the heart. Now, I'm really starting to wonder who you are. Long Xingyu smiled playfully.

"You are so careful, all the warriors who guard will be respected by the people, because we have dedicated our lives to protecting the safety of our people. And if you want to be respected by the clansmen, you must also have considerable merit. The beautiful snake said lightly.

"That's true, but until now, I've only seen people show respect to you, and others are just polite. Besides, in this underground world, is there anything else that can threaten the existence of your clan?" Long Xingyu touched his nose and said.

"Do you really think it's safe to live underground, and if so, what do we need to do as guardians? In fact, the underground world is an autonomous world that exists relative to the above-earth world, and the composition of the underworld is even more complex than the above-earth world, which is far from being understood by you in the above-earth world. When you entered the magma before, you should have seen those magical beasts, but they were only the tip of the iceberg you saw, and they were only the lowest magical beasts. I can tell you that the creatures that inhabit the underworld are even more powerful and terrifying than the overworld. After a pause, the beautiful snake continued, "In the forest outside the city just now, you should also see those 'Nether Emperor Moths', they are the subordinates of our clan. Our people also provide them with a certain amount of food, which is the lava crystals in the lava, and relatively speaking, they will also be our line of defense when other races from the underground invade. And there are four other races that are as attached to my race as they are. ”

"Eh, could it be that in the underground world, there are still any forces that dare to come to trouble you?" asked Long Xingyu with some astonishment.

Nodding, the beautiful snake said: "Of course, among the original underground creatures, there are dozens of extremely powerful biological races, they have wisdom that is not inferior to ours, and in terms of strength, they are also extremely strong, when we entered the underground world, in order to open up a suitable place to live, there was a conflict with them, although a single biological population is not as good as us, but they united to block us, and then it evolved into a battle that lasted for countless years. But after countless years, they have come to accept our existence. In this way, there are differences of opinion within them, and although many of them still don't like us, there are not many who really want to kick us out. Occasionally, some races will launch sneak attacks against our lone people, but in order to maximize the safety of our people, we Guardian Warriors have always existed, and we will do our best to fight them. ”

"Come, I'm still underestimated in the strength of this world, but outside of the above-ground world, there is a strange underground world, and this world seems to have far more powerful strength than the above-earth world. Long Xingyu couldn't help but sigh. You must know that in the earthly world, although he only has the strength equivalent to the saint level in the late Yuan Infant stage, he is completely able to protect himself, and this consequence is that he is proud to think that no one can easily threaten him anymore, even if he is a god, it is impossible to pose too much threat to himself, and he can cultivate and ascend in peace.

But now, everything in front of me tells me that everything is not so simple, and the real power of this world is far beyond my imagination. Even the incomparably powerful continent races of countless years ago were able to be destroyed, which shows that they still don't know enough about this world, and they are only limited to the records of human history, and it is difficult to truly understand the whole face of this world. What's more, the gods and demons with immortal-level strength that appeared last were what Long Xingyu cared about the most.

"If the battle between gods and demons is final, those gods of the dog (day) will have another blood sacrifice, destroy the creatures of this world, summon a few of those guys, and then they will continue to fight, then this world can no longer exist, although it may not be big, but they really have this ability, if left unchecked, even their relatives and friends in this life are estimated to suffer. Thinking about it, Long Xingyu secretly decided in his heart that he must not let this kind of thing happen, and even if it happens, he can't let the people he cares about be harmed.

Walking around the main road of the city, Long Xingyu looked around from time to time, and what surprised Long Xingyu was that he actually found a human figure in the city. And there are quite a few of them, a full ten. Among them was a saint-level master, and the rest of the people ranged from level eight to level ten. But they seem to have lived here for a long time. And their expressions seem to be very suitable for living in the city of the snake people, and the attitude of the snake people towards them is not bad.

Surprised by those humans, Long Xingyu asked in surprise, "What are they?"

Glancing at Long Xingyu, the beautiful snake smiled and said, "They've got the human beings who live in our territory. ”

"Eh!?What do you mean, didn't you say that the humans here are either your slaves or pets or food?" Long Xingyu said puzzled.

Mocking Dragon Xingyu playfully stuck out his tongue, and the beautiful snake smiled coquettishly: "Well, but that was before." Three hundred years ago, this was gone, and anyone who entered our territory and did not rebel could come here, and after that, they could only live in our world. They were actually brought in half a year ago, they came to the Sand Sea in search of the 'God of War Shield', but they were besieged because they broke into our territory, but fortunately, that guy was smart and didn't resist, so he came here safely, and now he is already living in my city. What I told you at that time was actually just to scare you, because I was very curious about you, at first glance, you don't seem to have much strength, but how can a person without strength go deep into the sand sea, and you actually dare to break into the territory of my clan alone, and you didn't choose to run away after seeing us. ”

"......" looked at the beautiful snake speechlessly, Long Xingyu felt at the moment that it seemed that he had been tricked by this beautiful snake at the beginning.

"Don't be so frustrated, I'm also thinking about you, if you really escape, but you will be chased and killed by the masters of our clan, then you will never be able to escape, wouldn't it be good to be intimidated and save your life." But you don't seem to have been scared by us to come back with us. The beautiful snake held her right arm with her left hand, and her right index finger and index finger were raised on the side of her cheek, and at the same time tilted her head to make a very kawaii posture.

After listening to the other party's explanation, Long Xingyu is now full of black lines, and he dares to love this beautiful snake all the time to tease himself. But this also reminded him of something: "So what you said about me having a relationship with your clan gods, is it just to fool me?"

"No, I do feel the soul breath of my god in you. This time, the beautiful snake didn't tease Long Xingyu anymore, but replied seriously.

"Well, no, I said, eldest sister, are you mistaken, this soul is already elusive, how can you be so sure that I have a connection with your gods. Moreover, isn't your god already asleep, you weren't born when he was asleep, how can you know now? Long Xingyu said.

"You'll find out in a moment. The beautiful snake didn't explain anything more, just walked towards the central area with Long Xingyu.

In the center of the city, a huge temple stood in the middle, and on the temple square, a tall jade statue was carved, which couldn't help but make Long Xingyu wonder if there was really such a big jade.

On the statue nearly fifty meters high, a female snake man is depicted, with the upper body of Chiguo, her long hair hanging straight to the ground, her perfect face, but revealing perseverance and unyielding, and her slightly raised face seems to be watching the situation in the distance. The sorrow and sorrow contained in those eyes also made people feel some inexplicable pain. And Long Xingyu was a little surprised to find that the appearance of the female snake man was nine points similar to the beautiful snake in front of him.

"Who is this carver?" asked, pointing to the statue, Long Xingyu.

"This statue is carved with the gods of our people. The beautiful serpent looked at the statue in the temple square with admiration on her face.

"I take the liberty of asking, why do you look so similar to her, and do you have anything to do with each other?" asked Long Xingyu.

"Because, she is my ancestor. The reason why I think you have something to do with my gods is because I have the soul imprint of my ancestors in my blood. The beautiful snake said lightly.

"Well, if it's related, I won't mention it for the time being. However, I don't seem to be wrong about you, your true identity is really not simple. Long Xingyu smiled knowingly.

After hesitating for a moment, the beautiful snake still replied, "Yes, the current queen of my clan is my mother." And our people have been ruled by queens for generations. ”

He was slightly stunned, and then Long Xingyu was a little stunned and said to the beautiful snake in front of him: "Eh! matriarchal society! So, you are the future queen of your clan?"

Shaking her head, the beautiful snake said lightly: "No, the next queen, if nothing else, should be my sister." And I will become the Holy Maiden of the Temple. ”

"I don't understand, why is there another temple saint. Long Xingyu was puzzled.

"The queen rules, the saint guards, this is passed down through the generations. The queen has the responsibility of continuing the royal bloodline. And the saint must never marry, and must exist to protect the entire race. In one month, I will have my coming-of-age ceremony, and I will become a temple saint and receive the inheritance of the gods. From the words of the beautiful snake, Long Xingyu seemed to hear a trace of sadness.

"The Holy Maiden wants to accept the inheritance of the gods? Does that directly create a god? But don't you say that your gods are just falling into a deep sleep? What is the inheritance of the gods? Long Xingyu asked.

"The gods were asleep, but at that time, the gods were only soul bodies. What the saint inherits is the soul of the gods, and at the same time, she also has the remaining divine power. But the power of the gods is too strong, and the power of the soul and the divine power of the gods are not something that ordinary people can bear. The inheritance of the gods will last for a long time, and if you want to truly complete the inheritance, it will take at least a hundred years, and during that time, the power of the gods will be gradually released, and the strength of the saint will continue to increase. Maybe the strength will drop a lot, but I think it should be stronger than the God King. The beautiful snake paused, and then continued: "But in the history of my clan, there have been hundreds of holy women, but none of them have truly completed the inheritance of the gods, and they were all supported to death by the divine power of the gods after reaching the limit of strength. I estimate that if I accept the inheritance, it will only last for thirty years, and at that time, my limit will be reached. But that is my destiny, and in order for my race to thrive, I must accept the inheritance. As she spoke, the beautiful snake said resolutely.

"Alright, let's not talk about it, in another month, you will be able to witness my inheritance ceremony with your own eyes. But before we do that, let's meet the elders of our clan first. I'm curious if you really have anything to do with my gods. The beautiful snake turned around and smiled at Long Xingyu, as if she wanted to leave all her troubles behind.

Immediately, the beautiful snake turned around and walked in the direction of the main hall.

Long Xingyu couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the fate faced by the beautiful snake, but how could all this be changed by himself. Shaking his head helplessly, he dodged and followed.
