Chapter 408: The Queen

It was true that the ones who knew how to fight in the Hag Race was females. Those males on the ground didn't even move apart from throwing some curious glances.
"Whoosh~"
Dozens of female hags rushed over quickly and agilely. It would seem that their firm bottoms were full of power and strength. Lu Li looked over and noticed that those hags' speeds were as fast as Fate Wheels.
Ye Cha let his three patriarchs deal with them. Qi Tianfan and several others made a move as well, but none of them used Beads of Life or Xuan Energy. They all took out their weapons, ready to engage in close combat.
If those Noble Lord Realm warriors could not beat those hags, the hags would have unified the Great Land.
"Yah, yah…"
The hags were screaming in a language that Lu Li didn't understand. He asked Ye Cha, "What language are they using?"
"Ancient language!"
Ye Cha explained, "This is the lingua franca used at the Great Land in ancient times. I think the Hag Race must be one of the races from the ancient times and I believe they once enjoyed glorious days at the Central Plains."
Hags were moving closer. Lu Li made eye contact with one of them and he was intrigued. His Soul Pond was trembling. It was a very miraculous feeling. He got such an urge that he wanted to find a hag and engage in carnal fest for days.
"Saint Lord, calm yourself down!"
Ye Cha whispered to Lu Li who regained his consciousness. He was embarrassed to see he had an erection. He touched his nose embarrassingly and said, "Their charming skill is quite good."
Ye Cha nodded and then looked into the battlefield and shouted, "Don't let their skulls get you."
The hags had thrown their skulls forward and there was a blue glare in their eyes as they tried to charm Yu Huashen, Zi Huanqiao and the others.
However…
All those here were Noble Lord Realm warriors with super strong souls. This kind of skill wouldn't do much to them. Ming Yu released his force and the hags were slowed down. Those skulls were frozen in midair. They were buzzing but they couldn't fly anymore.
"Swish, swish~"
Yu Huashen released his flames and soon flames and sparkles danced around in the sky. Anyone that was hit was burnt to death.
Seeing this, Lu Li's side was relieved. They were being cautious at first and now they believed they could deal with it at ease. Average hags wouldn't pose a threat to them. They used their respective skills and killed the dozens hags quickly.
"Woo, yah, yah~"
The male Hags on the grassland were terrified. They crawled in horror. Lu Li shouted, "Kill all the hags in the mountain. Leave no one alive. Yu Huashen, burn the bodies and don't leave behind any traces."
Lu Li was relieved to see that the hags were not that terrifying. Ye Cha mentioned that there were only two Hags as powerful as Noble Lord Realm warriors so Lu Li thought they could save Bai Qiuxue with ease.
The fight was over in the time of a dozen breaths. There were only a bit over 100 hags here and they were killed by the Noble Lord Realm warriors as if they were only some birds.
Lu Li and co moved on and sneaked through the mountains. There were many caves dug out in the mountains where there were a lot of hags.
All the warriors in the Hag Race were females. Males were like domestic animals and slaves. What was more surprising was that… in a small mountain, Lu Li saw some hags engaging in coitus in plain daylight with the female on top of the male…
"Clan Leader Ye, is the leader of the Hag Race also a female?" Lu Li asked a critical question.
"Yes!"
Ye Cha nodded and replied, "Males of this race cannot cultivate. As you can see, males are slaves and females are the rulers."
"Good!"
Lu Li was happy to hear this. Bai Qiuxue wouldn't be abused sexually in the Hag Race. She might be suffering, but she could be kept alive.
Ye Cha had gathered enough information about the Hag Race so he led the way. On their way over, they were discovered by yet several other small tribes so Lu Li ordered to control them. He was afraid he would alarm the enemy, which would put Bai Qiuxue's life at risk.
They had been travelling for two hours and they ran into more tribes than they could count. Yu Huashen was wondering how many hags there were in total. At least, they must have seen at least tens of thousands of them.
"We are here!"
Ye Cha stopped and pointed to a mountain. He said seriously, "Be careful. Later when we rush in, there will be fights. The most important thing we need to do is to take out the two most powerful Hags or injure them at least and then suppress down the average Hags. We will retreat as soon as we get Lady Qiuxue out."
Everyone nodded. Ye Cha turned to Lu Li who waved his hand and ordered, "Let's move out!"
At once, everyone released their Beads of Life and they sent out their psychic powers as well which enveloped the entire mountain upfront.
There were many hags here, amounting to 100,000. There were soldiers and civilians of hags everywhere and countless caves in the mountain.
What confused Yu Huashen and the others was that they didn't see Bai Qiuxue anywhere. They didn't even sense the existence of any human girls.
"Woo, yah, yah—"
There were strange screams coming out from inside the mountain and many Hags flew out from the caves. Some of them had wings and they shot up to the sky.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
Groups of Hags after another flew out from the mountain and swarmed toward Lu Li and the others like packs of wolves. Before they arrived, they had already thrown out skulls. It was like it was raining meteor rocks with no end in sight.
"In the middle of the peak is the sacred place of the Hag Race. Lady Qiuxue is in there. Go!"
Ye Cha shouted. He had learned that Bai Qiuxue had entered the sacred area of the Hag Race. There was a valley there that rejected psychic power which must be the sacred area.
"Charge!"
Lu Li yelled. Instead of releasing his Fate Wheel, he asked Ming Yu to take him while others rushed forward in a fan formation.
Ye Cha and Yu Huashen took the lead and they both released their Profound Meaning. Qi Tianfan and the others took actions as well. Ming Yu released Force to contain the incoming skulls.
The venoms on the skulls could turn a human into mere bones so they must stay away from the skulls.
"Boom, boom, boom~"
One golden claw after another whooshed on and tore apart the space. The skulls were smashed away and a path was cleared.
"Formation of Blossoms!"
Zi Huanqiao and Zi Huanyu made a move. Their Beads of Life glowed and the purple flower mark on their neck appeared. The dancing flower peddles in the sky trapped hundreds of flying Hags with wings.
"This Formation of Blossoms is so amazing!"
Lu Li had seen this at the Cliff of Purgatory. He was still amazed to see it again. The hundreds of flying hags must be among the powerful ones in the Hag Race but they were entrapped by Zi Huanqiao and Zi Huanyu and it would seem that they couldn't get out easily.
With Ming Yu's Force, the skulls froze in midair. Ye Cha's Profound Meaning cleared out a path for everyone and they pressed forward irresistibly. Soon, they made it into the mountain and were on their way to the sacred area.
"Hmm!"
With a snort from inside the sacred area, a hag flew out from it. That was an incredible hag with a purple crown and a blazing red plum blossom mark between her eyebrows. She was wearing a string of blue gem necklace, which added to her already elegant looks. She assumed the air of a queen.
After the hag flew up to the sky, the black scales disappeared, but not all of them. There were still some covering her private areas. The partially concealed body of her attracted everyone's attention.
That was right!
Even Ye Cha, who had lived for a few thousand years, couldn't restrain his gaze, let alone Lu Li.
It seemed that this queen had some magical power that got the attention from everyone. None could break free or control themselves.
