Bai Lin handed over the position of patriarch to her guard captain, Bai Qing. Although the latter still needed some time to absorb the power that Huang Tao had sealed within her, she would definitely advance to the Dou Ancestor rank within two years. Such strength was already enough to subdue the other people in the tribe.
Afterward, she followed Amon and left.
"Where are we going?" Amon's speed was not fast, maintaining the normal travel pace of an ordinary Dou Ancestor.
"You'll know when we get there."
After five days of travel, they arrived at the edge of a cliff.
Ahead was a mountain wall so steep it was almost vertical, and the cliff extended endlessly to both sides.
Below the cliff was a wide, open plain.
"This is... Dragon Burial Basin?" Bai Lin recognized this very famous location in the Northern Continent.
The bloody lesson of the Manlong Tribe being wiped out in a single day served as a warning to every barbarian tribe.
It reminded them not to provoke those terrifying Magical Beast families, otherwise the consequences might be unbearable.
Amon landed on the ground, sensed the direction, and then slowly walked along the edge of the cliff towards a certain spot.
They arrived before a raised mound.
On top of the mound, a figure sat cross-legged.
Bai Lin scrutinized the figure, a look of confusion on her face. This was another Amon! He looked exactly like the Amon who had brought her here, and was dressed exactly the same.
"I've brought the person," the Amon beside Bai Lin called out. Then, he waved his hand at Bai Lin, "I'll leave first. Just listen to him."
Although Bai Lin didn't understand the situation, she still nodded.
"It can also be considered our first meeting, hello, I am Amon," Amon said with a gentle smile.
Bai Lin was stunned... This Amon was surprisingly polite... She immediately replied, "Hello, I am Bai Lin."
Starlight flowed on Amon's monocle, and a large gate with a silver-white frame and glittering starlight in the middle appeared before him.
He took a step and walked in. Bai Lin was about to follow, but suddenly found herself no longer on the grassland.
She and Amon were standing on top of a huge, magnificent palace. This palace was so enormous, it was practically a mountain peak.
She had been silently moved without even feeling any spatial fluctuations!
Bai Lin's eyes widened, and a deep sense of shock welled up in her heart.
Huang Tao didn't even have such a method!
Noticing her gaze, Amon smiled slightly, "I am the patriarch of the Amon Clan, and Huang Tao is also a member of my clan."
Bai Lin showed a look of sudden realization. This person was probably the mastermind behind the crazy plan Huang Tao had described... Most likely a Dou Saint!
For a moment, she became much more respectful, but quickly returned to her usual state, asking curiously, "Are you also called Amon? The person before also called himself Amon... Why do you all look the same?"
Amon smiled and explained, "You can think of Amon as a species similar to the Stone Devouring Demon Ant. All the soldier ants will obey the Queen Ant's commands...
"The Amon Clan is also like this. After we transform, we all look like this, and all A Mengs will obey my commands as patriarch. 'Amon' is the collective name of our species, and each of us can call ourselves Amon."
Bai Lin's severed tail twitched, and a very interested expression appeared on her face. This was the first time she had heard of this species:
"What about Huang Tao? Why does he have a different name? Why does he not look like you?"
Amon smiled, "There will always be a few anomalies in a clan, that's normal, isn't it?"
Bai Lin nodded slightly. After resolving the confusion in her heart, she began to examine the magnificent, mountain-like palace beneath her feet.
The palace's style was very similar to that of the Snake-People. Snake sculptures, murals, reliefs...
She even smelled the scent of other snakes in the air.
"Is this the settlement of the Snake-People Tribe that the other Amon just told me you control?"
Through the few words spoken by the Amon avatar earlier, she judged that Amon probably controlled more than one Snake-People Tribe, and perhaps they had only recently been conquered. Otherwise, there would be no need for her, a newly loyal person, to manage them.
Amon affirmed her guess, "This is a space I opened up. The land below is called Nether Serpent Earth Vein."
"Nether Serpent Earth Vein?" Bai Lin's brows furrowed as she said, "I used to hear the elders in my tribe mention that a long time ago, the Snake-People Tribe experienced a major split, and one branch migrated to the Central Continent and allied with the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe."
She paused, then added, "You know the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe, right? Speaking of which, they are also a very strange tribe.
"Other barbarian tribes, and the Magical Beasts they integrate with, are often in an antagonistic relationship. For example, the Manlong Tribe was annihilated by the Taixu Ancient Dragon, and the Manfeng Royal Family once went to war with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe... The war only recently subsided, and they paid a heavy price...
"Only the Snake-People can get along very well with the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe... I even heard that the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe would formally absorb outstanding Snake-People and grant them the status of clan members... I don't know if it's true or false...
"The main base of the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe seems to be called Nether Serpent Earth Vein."
Amon nodded with a smile, "It's true... The Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe is famous for its vast branches.
"As long as you have a trace of Nine Serene Deep Earth Python bloodline, you can claim to be one of their branches.
"The Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe does not forbid conflicts between branches. As long as they don't attack those Nine Serene Deep Earth Pythons with pure bloodlines."
Bai Lin showed a hint of surprise, "You seem to know a lot about the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe."
Amon's smile was benevolent. He raised his right hand and pinched the upper and lower edges of his monocle with his index finger and thumb, saying, "Where do you think the souls of the ninth-rank snake Magical Beasts, which I plan to implant into their bodies after the 'Queen Medusa' is born, come from?"
Bai Lin's expression froze. Her mouth twitched, and she stared blankly into the distance...
"This Nether Serpent Earth Vein, it wouldn't happen to be that Nether Serpent Earth Vein, would it?"
"Congratulations, you guessed correctly," Amon affirmed her thought.
He said with some regret, "Although they are called one of the three great Magical Beast tribes, their bloodline power is gradually depleting and weakening quite severely. There are only three Dou Saints in the tribe."
"Only"... Such a word made Bai Lin's heart clench fiercely... Three Dou Saints, is that considered few? Those are Dou Saints, Dou Saints!
"You used them all as materials?"
"Mm, their souls have all been extracted, and things are going smoothly with Cai Lin. She's pregnant with four children. Once the Heavenly Serpent Blood Coagulation Pill is refined, the plan can proceed," Amon muttered.
At this moment, Bai Lin gained a more intuitive understanding of Amon's terrifying nature.
The Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe, one of the three great Magical Beast tribes, was actually wiped out by him!
The strong members of the tribe were killed, their souls were used as materials for cultivating the "Queen Medusa," and their tribal land was entirely moved away. As for the tribesmen... she estimated that they were probably also imprisoned in this space.
Comparing the tragic state of the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe and the She Family to the White Snake Tribe, she suddenly realized that she, and her tribe, were quite fortunate.
She knew that the only thing that could make Amon look at her differently was her half-successful evolution.
Before, she often felt sorry for herself, thinking that this evolution had ruined her life, making her so deformed and ugly. Now, it seemed that this was a great opportunity instead!
The main base of the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Tribe must have many resources. Amon might not care for them, but she needed them!
She was already thinking about how to plunder the resources of the Nether Serpent Earth Vein to improve her strength...
She had even found an excuse:
If my strength increases, I can manage things better... And I myself am an example, an example to inspire the "Queen Medusas" to evolve!
Look, I only half-succeeded in my evolution and already gained such great benefits, so why don't you all work harder? Take a gamble and become a Snake above snakes!
