BTTH: Becoming Queen Medusa’s Guardian Spirit from the Start

Chapter 147: Heading to the New Desert City

Wu Tian suddenly remembered that Qing Lin had been serving as a maid in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. In the original story, this mercenary group had been founded by Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. If he could find them, he should be able to find Qing Lin. However, when he and Medusa had previously searched for Mo Tie Mercenary Group, the one they found was not established by Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. The leader of that group was... simply indescribable.

Wu Tian's inquiry left Hua She'er confused, and since Yue Mei and the three elders were responsible for overseeing major matters within the serpent tribe, they naturally hadn't paid attention to people like Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. Seeing their clueless expressions, Wu Tian felt somewhat disappointed.

Just then, one of the figures below stepped forward and said, "Guardian Spirit Lord, I know where Xiao Ding and Xiao Li are!"

Wu Tian turned to look and found that the speaker was Yin Shi, one of the eight serpent tribe leaders. Unlike the others, Yin Shi was the second oldest after the three grand elders. He was almost like the fourth elder of the serpent tribe, though his status was still slightly lower due to his age.

With a small walking stick in hand, Yin Shi stepped forward. His long white hair and beard made him look like an old village elder if not for his snake tail, he could have easily been mistaken for one.

Wu Tian looked at Yin Shi with surprise. "Leader Yin, you know where Xiao Ding and Xiao Li are?"

Yin Shi nodded. "Yes, Guardian Spirit Lord. I, along with Leader Moba Si, was responsible for overseeing the construction and defense of the ninth desert city. That's how I learned that those two have established a mercenary group called Mo Tie in the city."

Wu Tian's eyes lit up. Just as he was feeling lost, a new lead appeared. His mood immediately brightened.

He knew that building a new city required strong guards. Without proper protection, workers would suffer heavy losses due to the presence of magical beasts from the nearby forest. Since Moba Si was the strongest of the serpent tribe's leaders, it was only natural that he had been sent to oversee security. Meanwhile, Yin Shi was not only a Dou Wang but also highly intelligent, making him the perfect supervisor for the project. With two Dou Wang experts overseeing things, it was no wonder the ninth desert city had been completed so quickly.

Wu Tian nodded and asked, "Wasn't there already a Mo Tie Mercenary Group? Why is there another one now?"

"Guardian Spirit Lord, after you and Queen Medusa inspected the original Mo Tie Mercenary Group, their leader took all the money and ran. The group disbanded, and the remaining members scattered," Yue Mei reported.

Wu Tian smirked. "I see. So those two ended up in the newly built city. Good. You all continue your duties I'm heading there now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tian stood up and, with his hands behind his back, took a step forward vanishing into thin air.

A moment later, his figure reappeared high in the sky, flickering rapidly as he moved across the horizon.

Inside the grand hall, all the serpent tribe's experts were left dumbfounded.

"What… what just happened?"

"Stepping through the void…"

"A Dou Zong expert!!!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

Their Guardian Spirit Lord had reached the realm of Dou Zong?! Truly, he was unparalleled!

Tears welled up in the eyes of the three ancient elders. The awakening of the serpent tribe had finally begun.

Looks like their days of leisurely wandering around with their pet birds were about to come to an end.

Wu Tian streaked through the sky like a flash of light, covering vast distances in mere moments. This ability Stepping Through the Void was the hallmark of a Dou Zong.

He had deliberately shown off this technique in front of the serpent tribe's experts, ensuring their unwavering loyalty.

After a few dramatic teleportations, Wu Tian eventually grew lazy and summoned his Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"Xiao Zi, fly me there."

The massive lion beast: "…"

The next day, after taking his time sightseeing along the way, Wu Tian arrived at the gates of the newly built ninth desert city.

From a distance, he could see its grand and imposing walls, patrolled by serpent tribe warriors. Down below, at the heavy city gates, numerous guards stood watch.

Suddenly, a panicked shout rang out.

"RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!"

A group of burly mercenaries came charging toward the city gates, their expressions filled with terror as if they were being chased by something nightmarish.

"RUN! A magical beast is coming!" the leading mercenary screamed.

Wu Tian squinted at their uniforms they appeared to be a mercenary group. But if seasoned mercenaries were fleeing in such a state, just what kind of terrifying beast was after them?

Moments later, he saw it.

Behind them slithered an enormous green python, at least six or seven meters long, exuding a chilling presence.

A Mandala Snake!

This venomous beast, native to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, was a fourth tier magical beast, comparable to a Dou Ling (Dou Spirit) expert.

For these ordinary mercenaries, facing such a creature was certain death.

Wu Tian raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

It was unusual for a fourth tier magical beast to chase people this far. Just what had these mercenaries done to provoke it?

"Run, kid! What are you standing around for?!"

The leading mercenary shouted as he sprinted past Wu Tian.

Wu Tian chuckled. This was the first time someone had told him to run in the Jia Ma Empire.

Well… since he's so worried about me, I might as well join them for fun.

With a playful smirk, Wu Tian took off running alongside the panicked mercenaries.

However, he slightly miscalculated his speed.

With a single step, he had already reached the city gates far ahead of the others.

The leading mercenary's jaw dropped.

What the hell?! What kind of freak is this guy?!

Despite his shock, his survival instincts kept him moving. He continued running for dear life.

Meanwhile, the Mandala Snake suddenly coiled itself tightly, preparing to launch an attack.

With a powerful whip of its tail, it soared over the fleeing mercenaries, landing ahead of them.

Its massive jaws opened wide, revealing terrifying fangs dripping with venom.

"WE'RE GONNA DIEEEE!!!"

The mercenaries screamed, desperately dodging to the sides.

The city's guards were already rushing to help, but they weren't fast enough.

Their strongest warriors were only Dou Ling level not nearly enough to stop a four star Dou Ling magical beast in time.

Wu Tian sighed.

"Well, I suppose I owe them for the warning earlier."

With a casual step, he teleported directly in front of the Mandala Snake.

Lifting his palm, he gently slapped the giant beast's head.

"Boom !"

The Mandala Snake let out a miserable wail as its massive body was sent flying, disappearing back into the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

The mercenaries and city guards: "…"
