Luo Chen did not want to wander around aimlessly. So, he tried to obtain more information. Just relying on luck would not be a good idea.
"Dear customer, I don't know where to find divine pets. However, I know a little bit about evolutionary fossils. They are not ordinary things. It can be used to upgrade your pets. For example, a high-grade pet will become a saint-grade pet, and a saint-grade pet will become a divine-grade pet. "
The waiter poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Luo Chen.
"What? Evolution fossils?"
Luo Chen was shocked. Obviously, every summoner would love to have an evolutionary fossil. It was priceless.
Suddenly, Snowy, who was in Luo Chen's arms, began to bark excitedly.
"Why are you making so much noise? This has nothing to do with you!"
Luo Chen hit Snowy's head. Then, he placed some gold coins on the table.
"Tell me the location of the evolutionary fossils!"
The waiter's eyes shone when he looked at the gold coins.
"There are some in the forgotten forest. Most of them can be found in the snake lady's territory. Everyone in Forgotten City knows about this. It's also the reason why many summoners visit this place."
"Got it!"
Luo Chen immediately rushed out. He was afraid that other people would beat him to the evolutionary fossils.
In fact, based on the waiter's words, he might already be too late.
Just as he left the inn, Luo Chen overheard a discussion.
"Did you know that the city's governor had gathered a bunch of people? They're heading to the snake lady's territory."
"I wonder if they will be successful."
"It's very unlikely. That place is filled with hundreds of strong beasts and creatures. They're all level 50 and above. They would surely suffer heavy casualties."
...
'That place sounds really dangerous. Maybe I should think about it first.'
Luo Chen was struggling to make a decision but in the end, he decided to go.
Soon, he reached a huge tribal fortress.
The snake lady was a human-type summoned beast. She had learned a lot of human skills. The tribal fortress was actually built by her.
A person could clearly see the insides of the fortress even though they were outside because there were torches everywhere. Additionally, there were a lot of arrow towers behind the walls.
It would be difficult for anyone to break an entry.
However, there was a huge hole at one side of the wall. It must have been the work of a summoned beast. The arrow towers nearby were also destroyed. Corpses were scattered everywhere. A fierce battle had probably happened not too long ago.
"Snowy, dig through the earth!"
Luo Chen felt that it would be very dangerous for him to just proceed. So, he had Snowy dig an underground tunnel. This way, he could quietly sneak in.
Once the tunnel was done, Luo Chen jumped down and entered the fortress.
It was a luxurious palace.
A curvy figure could be seen sitting on a golden throne. She also had long hair that reached her waist. Below that was a snake tail.
Obviously, she was the queen of the snake ladies.
She was a wild beauty.
Her subjects, the other snake ladies, surrounded her.
All the summoners were very aggressive.
They were pointing their spears in the queen's direction.
There were only a few hundred men, but they brought along an impressive number of summoned beasts.
"Are all of you here for the evolutionary fossil? Sorry, but you're a little too late. It's already in my stomach."
The queen laughed and taunted.
'Why didn't you make a move? You're level 70. You could kill us whenever you wanted. Instead, you waited for our arrival. Is there a downside to the evolutionary fossil?" said the leader of the men. It was the city's governor.
Upon hearing that, the queen's expression changed.
"Hahaha! Do you want to know why? Evolutionary fossils can evolve summoned beasts to the next grade but you're right, there is a downside. The beast will be reborn as an egg. It needs to be fully raised again. This is not easy because the beast will revert to level 0. The previous level did not matter whatsoever."
"The real queen is probably at level 0 right now. She's just a subordinate!" said the leader of the men as he pointed at the snake lady who was sitting on the golden throne.
"What?"
The other summoners were shocked. They looked at the snake lady in disbelief.
After panicking for a short moment, the supposed queen managed to compose herself.
"Hahaha! Your plan is not bad. You're the one who threw the evolutionary fossil in our territory, right?"
"Correct. I was also the one who spread the news of the evolutionary fossils. I'm seeking revenge for my son."
The leader's expression turned ferocious.
"Your son captured and sold my fellow sisters to the black market! He does not deserve to live!" said the snake lady coldly.
"It doesn't matter. As of now, I just want all of you to completely disappear from this world. Men, charge!"
The two sides immediately clashed in battle.
"We must win!"
Although the actual queen was not here, the fighting spirit of the snake ladies was as strong as ever.
