1916 Rui Snake City! Little Qing’er! (1)
A massive city stood tall within the dense forest, surrounded by towering trees that reached into the sky.
If one looked from afar, they might not even notice the presence of this city.
This scene was particularly magnificent.
Who would have thought that such a colossal city could exist deep within the lush forest?
The forest itself was unique, somewhere between a regular forest and a rainforest. It was incredibly humid, with numerous rivers and streams crisscrossing through it.
Along the way, Wang Teng and the others had encountered many rivers and swamps.
Now, standing before this immense city, they felt a profound sense of antiquity that washed over them. It was a sensation that left all outsiders deeply impressed.
At the same time, they couldn’t help but guess the history of the city, pondering just how many years it had stood there.
As they approached the city gate, Landon noticed something about his surroundings, and a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Wang Teng had been keeping a close eye on him, and he couldn’t help but become more intrigued by Landon’s reactions.
The snakemen landed from the sky with Landon and walked towards the gates of the city.
The gate of the city was massive, standing at least ten feet tall. A group of snake people guards was stationed on both sides of the gate, and anyone passing through had to undergo their inspection.
Despite the city’s remote location deep within the forest, security was tight, suggesting that it was not entirely isolated from the outside world.
“Lord Marong!”
The group of guards recognized Marlon and immediately bowed respectfully.
When they bowed, their lower snake bodies would slightly crouch, while their upper bodies would bend as humans do. They also placed their hands over their chests.
“Open the gate!” Marong said calmly.
The guards quickly moved aside to let Marong and his group pass.
After Marong and the others entered the city, the guards began to whisper among themselves.
“Is that a human from outside?”
“It should be. We heard fighting outside just now, and Marong personally rushed over to capture him. Marong is truly powerful.”
“Of course, Marong is the fourth strongest in our race.”
“Even Zagu is caught. How dare he run away. I wonder how Queen will punish him.”
“It’s his honor to serve Her Highness. He’s so insensible to run away.”


The guards’ discussions provided Wang Teng with valuable information.
“The fourth strongest among the snake people!” Wang Teng’s eyes flickered, and he pondered for a moment.
This meant that there were likely three more individuals who were stronger than Marong.
Without universe-stage martial warriors, this snakemen city wouldn’t be a significant threat to Wang Teng.
Escaping wouldn’t be a problem.
Another crucial piece of information was

These snakemen felt that it was an privilege to serve their queen.
It looked like their customs were a little different.
“I hope you’re not getting lost in your thoughts. They’ve moved further away, so how do we get inside?” Round Ball interjected, sensing that Wang Teng was thinking of random things.
“Cough!” Wang Teng cleared his throat and said confidently, “Don’t worry, there’s no portal I can’t enter.”
“I’ll be waiting to see that,” Round Ball replied with a chuckle.
Wang Teng proceeded to circle the city in search of a way in. However, he soon realized that both the front and back gates of the city were guarded, with snake people sentinels stationed on the city walls. It seemed like every few steps there was a guard or watchtower.
Silence.
Wang Teng stood on a large tree, gazing at the fortress-like city, lost in thought.
“Hahaha
” Round Ball laughed.
“Can you stop laughing? What’s so funny?” Wang Teng retorted, somewhat irritated.
“Didn’t you say there’s no door you can’t enter?” Round Ball chuckled.
“Hmph!” Wang Teng snorted and said, “It seems I’ll have to use my ace in the hole.”
“What’s your ace in the hole?” Round Ball asked curiously.
“Watch closely!” Wang Teng smiled faintly, and his entire body began to transform. His lower half gradually morphed into a serpent’s tail, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into an authentic snakeman.
“F**k!”
“F**k!” Round Ball couldn’t help but exclaim, completely caught off guard by Wang Teng’s ace in the hole.
This was cheating!
Turning himself into a snakeman was quite the unexpected move.
Round Ball materialized beside Wang Teng, and it scrutinized him from head to tail. Its expression becoming increasingly peculiar.
“Your ability is truly something else. Even with my current domain-realm spiritual power, I couldn’t detect it at all,” Round Ball remarked.
“That’s why it’s called an ace in the hole,” Wang Teng uttered with a smug smile.
“You’re enjoying this, huh?” Round Ball rolled its eyes, then rubbed its chin, adding, “But you should change your clothes; otherwise, given the strictness of those guards, you might still not get in.”
“Good point,” Wang Teng looked at his attire and nodded.
He then vanished from his current location and appeared in the nearby woods near the metropolis gates. His eyes were fixed on the city gate.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a lone snakeman emerged from the metropolis gate.
It appeared that the guards were familiar with this individual, and they exchanged a few words before letting him pass and leave the city.
Wang Teng followed closely, observing the person and seeking an opportunity to act.
“He’s a cosmos-stage martial warrior.” He activated his Real Eye and was surprised when he saw the other party’s cultivation.
