Chapter 1989  How... Did You Do It? (5)

Wang Teng was taken aback by this grand display of gratitude. He didnʼt expect the queen to do this.

Werenʼt they supposed to be highly hostile to outsiders, especially to him, an extraterrestrial human?

Why did they accept him so quickly?

Was it possible that his charisma was just too irresistible, even to the snakemen?

Indeed!

It seemed like his handsome looks made him popular wherever he went.

He chuckled to himself secretly. Then, with a dry cough, he said, ”You donʼt have to be so formal. Weʼre all friends here. No need to be so polite!”

”Thatʼs right, weʼre all friends!” Marong laughed heartily.

Little Qingʼer, watching the scene unfold, couldnʼt help but feel a sense of joy.

Seeing that Wang Teng was being accepted by her people, Little Qingʼer felt very happy.

”Brother, I donʼt know your name yet,” she asked.

Wang Teng teasingly responded, ”You didnʼt call me that before.”

Little Qingʼer blushed slightly and said, ”Well, that was because you pretended to be my father. You donʼt look much older than me.”

Wang Teng laughed heartily and introduced himself, ”Iʼm Wang Teng.”

”Brother Wang Teng!” Little Qingʼer called out.

Marong and the others were surprised when they heard their conversation. It looked like they had known each other for a long time. Whatʼs more, they had some stories that outsiders didnʼt know.

Zagu couldnʼt help but feel a bit envious. In his heart, Little Qingʼer was the second goddess after the queen, and now she was chatting and laughing with this extraterrestrial human. How enviable!

Amid the conversation, an elderly snakeman approached with an ancient scroll made of animal hide.

”Your Majesty, I found it. This is all the recorded information left by our ancestors about the poison tide,” the elderly snakeman said as he presented the scroll to the queen.

”Let me take a look,” Wang Teng said, his eyes shining with curiosity.

The elder glanced at the queen hesitantly. When she nodded, he handed the animal-hide scroll to Wang Teng.

Wang Teng didnʼt mind the details. He accepted the scroll and began examining it.

He quickly found the relevant records, and it was evident that large-scale poison tides had occurred approximately every 1,156 years. The previous one had been 2,389 years ago, and there were even earlier records.

These records were quite detailed, and it was not difficult to discern a pattern from them.

The interval of approximately 1,200 years was a rough estimate, and in reality, the timing could vary. The poison tide might come earlier or later than expected.

Wang Teng handed the animal-hide scroll to the queen, indicating for her to take a look.

She accepted the scroll and examined it carefully.

As she read, her expression gradually became more serious, and cold sweat formed on her back.

Large-scale poison tides were truly terrifying.

According to the descriptions in the records, each occurrence resulted in significant casualties.

Many snakemen branches were wiped out because of it.

However, the recent ones had appeared in different regions, so the snakemen of Rui Snake City hadnʼt paid much attention to the issue.

Moreover, several thousand years had passed, and even the snakemenʼs leadership had changed multiple times.

Some snakemen who had witnessed the horrors of the poison tide may have left records to warn future generations.

However, those who had never seen it firsthand wouldnʼt have a deep understanding or feel the need to be vigilant all the time.

This time, the large-scale poison tide happened to occur in the region where Rui Snake City was located, and the snakemen of this branch were finally experiencing the terrifying nature of such an event.

If the protective array were to completely collapse and allow the poison tide to invade the city, most of the snakemen within Rui Snake City would likely perish.

Even if they entered the Thousand-Serpent Cave, there was no guarantee of survival.

At this moment, the queenʼs expression became even more complex, and she looked at Wang Teng with gratitude once again.

Without him, their entire Rui Snake City might have been annihilated.

Even Little Qingʼer, the snakewoman prodigy who had just awakened her ancient ancestorʼs bloodline, might not have survived.

”Master!” Little Qingʼer said worriedly.

The queen patted her head and said nothing more.

After reviewing the scrollʼs content, she took a deep breath and passed it to Marong, who was curious about the situation.

Marong, after reading it, couldnʼt help but gasp, ”This large-scale poison tide is truly terrifying!”

”Based on the records, this large-scale poison tide can last for three to five days. Yet, we have only endured half a day,” the snakemen queen said in a low voice.

”This…” Marongʼs expression changed, and he fell into silence.

A heavy atmosphere descended upon the surroundings. The snakemen, who had previously been in good spirits, now had their faces turned pale. The large-scale poison tide was much more terrifying than they had imagined.

If they could barely hold on for half a day, what would happen if it lasted for three to five days?

Could they survive this ordeal?

At this moment, all the snakemen turned their attention to the queen and Wang Teng.

”Do you… have a way?” The queenʼs voice carried a tinge of bitterness. She bit her lip and said, ”If you can help us through this life-and-death crisis, I can give you the Azure Sea Pearl!”

”Azure Sea Pearl!” Marongʼs expression changed. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

The Azure Sea Pearl was their most important treasure.

How could they give it to an outsider?

However, considering their current predicament, he fell silent.

If all their people are doomed, whatʼs the use of keeping the Azure Sea Pearl?

”Really?” Wang Teng raised an eyebrow and asked, ”Seriously?”

”Of course!” The queen nodded. ”I will also tell you the true purpose of the Azure Sea Pearl. I believe you must be very curious.”

”I definitely know more than that extraterrestrial human.”

”Alright!” Wang Teng nodded. ”I will help you survive this poison tide.”

He had already planned to take advantage of this poison tide, even before the queen made her offer. Now, he gained another Azure Sea Pearl for free. He had every reason to accept.

The queen felt relieved when he agreed.

With his help, their chances of surviving this poison tide should be above 80%.

With his strength and an array of endless techniques at his disposal, he might not necessarily have trouble dealing with this large-scale poison tide.

This man was different from other extraterrestrial humans. His eyes held absolute confidence.

She believed that her judgment was right!

”Actually, you donʼt have to be so polite. We are friends, and helping friends is the right thing to do,” Wang Teng added with a smile.

The queen: …

If she hadnʼt seen Wang Tengʼs shameless side, she would have believed him.

”This is a pill that can restore your Force. Take it.” Wang Teng didnʼt mind her gaze. He took out a jade bottle and threw it to the queen.

”A medicinal pill!” The queen was slightly stunned as she examined the contents. She was astonished and exclaimed, ”Is this the highly precious medicinal pill crafted by the extraterrestrial humans?”

Eagerly, she poured out the contents of the vial, releasing a rich aroma of the pill.

”It smells so good!”
