Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 617 - 74: Divine Power

"Granny," upon seeing the appearance of the Old Snake Woman, Snake Woman Wu Yun obediently stepped forward to support her.

The cough of the elderly serpent sounded piercing, as if it could claim her life at any moment.

Yue Jinghua’s brow furrowed as she looked closely at the base of the Old Snake Woman’s tail.

The condition of the wound seemed familiar, as a fleeting image flashed across Yue Jinghua’s mind.

The wounds inflicted by those giant-winged mosquitoes she had bred from the waters of Death Lake in Dark Hell bore a striking resemblance to the wounds on the Old Snake Woman’s leg.

Could it be that the Old Snake Woman’s wound was also caused by a Dark Demon Beast?

"Wait a moment, let me look at your wound," Yue Jinghua said, bending down to examine it, seeking to confirm her own thoughts.

The attacks by Dark Demon Beasts often carry Evil Qi, a highly toxic corrosive gas. Without special Elixir Pills and spirit wood that can purify Evil Qi, the Old Snake Woman’s wound would only continue to rot, until her internal organs were completely poisoned.

"What are you doing? You’re not allowed to touch my Granny," Wu Yun’s delicate little face flashed with panic.

She saw Yue Jinghua silently take out a dagger in the shape of a sword from inside her leg and feared that Yue Jinghua might harm the Old Snake Woman.

A cold glance from Yue Jinghua swept over, and caught by the peripheral vision of her eyes, Wu Yun felt a chill as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, uncontrollably shivering.

Yue Jinghua did indeed possess spirit wood with miraculous purifying and regenerative properties, and held an inexhaustible supply of it.

The Green Liquid extracted from the Chaos Wood Lotus might benefit the Old Snake Woman’s wounds. Yue Jinghua first scraped off the necrotic flesh from the wound and then carefully dropped a few droplets of the Green Liquid on the base of her tail.

At first, the Old Snake Woman felt a piercing pain in her tail, but soon, the amber-green liquid permeated her skin.

A surge of energy, as if renewing life, flowed from the tail to her entire body. The Dark Energy trapped by Evil Qi for many years also started to thrive and bloom.

"I’m sorry, your injury has been neglected for too long. Even with my Spiritual Medicine, it can only prevent the Evil Qi from reaching deeper into your organs; your tail can only be maintained as it is and cannot be restored," Yue Jinghua shook her head with regret. If she had encountered the Shepherdess Snake only a few years earlier, the situation might have been better.

Wu Yun watched in amazement, unable to speak. The Pill Masters summoned to the Beast Fighting Arena were all helpless in the face of Granny’s injuries, yet this youth had relieved Granny’s pain with just a few droplets of liquid.

"You, you are our benefactor," the Shepherd Snake Tribe’s way of thinking was simple. Seeing Yue Jinghua saving the Old Priest, they all, led by Wu Yun, gathered around her, ready to bow in gratitude.

"There’s no need for that; I’m not some great kind-hearted person. I saved your Old Priest’s life, and in return, you must give me something in exchange. The young woman who nearly fought you earlier at the Beast Fighting Arena is my good friend. She is a Cultivator, and I hope you can assist her until she becomes a Dan Realm Breeder," the strength of the Shepherd Snake Tribe wasn’t much for Yue Jinghua, but their beast taming skills were extraordinary. With some training, they could even command an entire army of the Beast Race.

"Dan Realm Breeder?" Wu Yun muttered to herself in disbelief, finding his request excessive. Cultivators typically had weak Cultivation. If that Female Dark Practitioner could not become a Dan Realm Breeder in her lifetime, would not the five of them have to serve her forever?

"Rest assured, if she is unable to become a Dan Realm Breeder within a hundred years, the pact I made with you will automatically become null and void," Yue Jinghua could see the concerns of Wu Yun, the clever little Shepherdess Snake.

The five Shepherdess Snakes looked at each other, and after discussing in their unique Snake Woman language with the old Shepherdess Snake for a moment, they solemnly agreed to Yue Jinghua’s request.

After receiving simple treatment for her wounds, the old Shepherdess Snake’s spirits had improved. Upon Yue Jinghua’s questioning, it spoke of the reason the tribe of Snake Women appeared in the Beast Fighting Arena and the Dragon War Empire.

The old Shepherdess Snake was called Wu Mo, belonging to the Shepherd Snake Tribe in the Polar Snow Domain. It was now over eight hundred years old and was the High Priest of the Polar Snow Domain.

For many years, they worshipped the Snowstorm Goddess of the Polar Snow Domain. The Pole is unbearably cold, perpetually covered in ice, yet there life is quiet and peaceful, rarely encountering conflicts with the Human Race tribes.

The Shepherd Snake Tribe was born with a talent for Beast Taming. They could either invigorate or suppress the morale of enemy Dark Beasts, breeding their own Dark Beast army.

It was precisely due to this innate talent that they were able to survive in the harsh living conditions of the Polar Snow Domain.

This icy peace lasted nearly a thousand years, until just over half a year ago, a terrible force the likes of which they had never seen invaded the Extreme Snow Prison.

Countless members of the Shepherd Snake Tribe were killed, and in front of that horrifying force of unknown origin, their Dark Beast army was as easily torn asunder as thin paper.

What was even more terrifying was that the members of the Shepherd Snake Tribe slain by that raging force would not easily die; instead, they would transform into Corpse Snakes, attacking and infecting their own kind.

In the end, in order to preserve the last bit of bloodline of the tribe, the old High Priest Wu Mo selected five Shepherdess Snakes of the highest pedigree and exceptional talent within the tribe, and used a Transmission Array to leave the Polar Snow Domain.

"Old Priest, you said that your tribespeople, after being wounded, would all turn into Corpse Snakes. How did you manage to escape that fate?" Yue Jinghua did not use a tone between master and servant for old Wu Mo of the Shepherdess Snake Tribe, even though the six Snake Women were now a tribe of the lost.

"It was the Snow Totem of the Snowstorm Goddess on my body that saved me," Wu Mo did not hide anything, as under its robe, there was also a totem concealed.

The same kind of totem, Yue Jinghua saw that Wu Yun also had one on her chest.

It was this totem that allowed Wu Yun to exert the ability to bewitch Dark Beasts and disrupt the battlefield in the earlier Beast Fighting Arena.

Yue Jinghua wanted to step forward to inspect the specific appearance of that totem, but Wu Yun was visibly on guard.

Only then did Yue Jinghua remember she was dressed as a man, and with a laugh, she took off her mask, "No harm, I’m a woman too."

Relieved, Wu Yun parted her beautiful long hair, allowing her to view the totem on her chest.

"How did you get this totem?" The moment Yue Jinghua touched the totem, she felt a force of ice and snow transferring through her fingertips, giving her the illusion of being instantly frozen solid.

"We got it from the temple of the Snowstorm Goddess," Wu Yun answered truthfully, "Every person from the Shepherdess Snake Tribe is taken to the temple of the Snowstorm Goddess after they’re born. Only those who gain the favor of the Goddess can receive the Snow Totem. With the Snow Totem, we can even Call the Wind and Snow, possessing a part of the Divine Power of the Snowstorm Goddess."
