Chapter 102 Problem Of The Snake Tribes.

Eros looked all around him.

In this forest, his attackers were all the same.

These were Medusa women.

A specie that were born with half snake and half human characteristics.

They all had their arrows pointed at him.

Eros tried to move and three arrows were shot at his feet.

Evidently violence was a solution these women had concluded for him.

Eros had gathered a lot of sufficient information from the bar.

The current problem of the sanke forest was not the trees, but those that could control them.

The adventurers called them the snake people of the forest.

While the merchants called them devourers of men.

These women had a reputation for usually staying hidden and taking men, but these last few days, their actions have been rather very bold and unbridled.

They usually attacked in the night time and they only took men, not women.

All that have ever been taken always came back worn out like life had been taken from them and only a few actually survived afterwards.

However, fir the last few days, any one that had been taken has not returned.

This included both men and women. Which was rather strange.

However, the Medusas never had a good reputation amongst men or beastmen. Whether it was men or men and women that were being taken did not matter.

Most would kill them on sight and it is said that the Axe guild hunted them and gave rewards whenever any of them was hunted down.

However, Eros had rules.

One of them included not hurting women unless it was absolutely necessary.

Eros hung his walking stick on his forearm and lifted his hands up in surrender.

"I have no quarrel with you. I only want my grand son back."

The moment he spoke, all the women paused and looked at one another in surprise.

The reason for this was because Eros had talked not in the usual human tongue but in the snake language.

One of the Medusas suddenly stepped forward, "you speak the ancient snake language!?"

The Medusa that had stepped forward looked younger than the rest but she still towered three feet over Eros.

If she was a normal human, she would have been considered an exceptional beauty worthy of princes flocking about her.

She face was smooth, blessed with full, lush, attractive and slightly innocent lips that gave and inviting charm.

Her eyes were anointed with long eye lashes that gave her eyes that extra attention when she looked at a person.

Her chest was moderately endowed.

However, medusas had three breasts.

What she was packing could definitely pull any man with it's hypnotic effect whenever she moved.

Her impressive chest led to a slim tummy waist that looked like a polar carrying too much weight above.

After which came her hipped waist that led to her remaining half that was the lower body of a snake. It was bright red and well peppered with black spots.

Eros nodded to the charm she exlided. Even the cold look she carried on her face cold not dim her shine.

Apart from the clothes to cover her chest, she wore beads around her neck and had snake totems on her body.

She would have pulled noble men to their demise if she was human. However, she happened to have been born a Medusa.

Eros looked around a little. He noticed that the other women were also beauties.

Apparently, this race was greatly loved by the heavens.

"Yes," Eros nodded, "I can speak your language perfectly."

The more he spoke, the more surprised the women were.

After all, the Snake language was not something that the human vocal cord could carry.

They were many, scholars, language experts that had tried but all ended in absolute failure.

Teaching the language was not the problem, but speaking was.

One of the Medusas moved forward and whispered into the ear of the younger looking Medusa.

She nodded in accordance, "my name is Shade. I will like to extend an invitation to you to see our shaman."

Eros heard this and sighed lowly, "I'm sorry, but I'm on a tight schedule and..."

Eros words froze in his throat as the Arrows were raised for his head once more. Apparently he did not have a say in this one.

"Okay! Okay!! Lead the way. Just stop with the arrows please. Someone might let loose their fingers and I don't want to be shoot again. It's not exactly a nice feeling."

The Medusas led the way and Eros followed behind them.

He was brought to what looked like a temporary camp.

There were other medusas here.

On reaching the camp, he heard some familiar voices calling for him.

"Granddad!!!"

"Lord Eros!!!"

Eros turned to the voices. It was Dan and Lady Frostbite.

They were being led to a corner tied in ropes.

Eros could see that they were some others with their hands tied together in a corner.

Many of them were soldiers from the Bolos Territory.

Others were either mechants or adventurers.

Clearly, the Medusas were at their kidnapping job again.

"The harvest as been good, lets go back to the village," Shade ordered, "you stay behind me!" She addressed Eros.

"I wouldn't want to be any other place," Eros nodded with his eyes on her waist.

The other Medusa ladies nodded at Shade and instructed the prisoners to get on their feet.

However the moment they did, two adventurers immediately broke out of their ropes.

Immediately, they rushed for an escape however, a Medusa immediately rushed before their escape route.

*HISSSS!!!!*

she hissed loudly at them, her forked tongue wiggling wildly in the air,and her eyes becoming the a golden colour.

Immediately the Adventurers looked into her eyes, they froze and their bodies visibly turned to stone.

"Huh!!!"

The remaining prisoners were surprised by the sudden turn of events.

Shade turned, and slithered towards the prisoners, "any one that tries any more escape dies," her tail moved with incredible sharpness, smashing the two statues.

The statues fell like dust.

Just like that, the two had died.

Seeing this, Dan wanted to struggle. However, he suddenly heard Eros's voice on his head, "not yet boy. Patience!"

Dan looked in Eros direction and he saw his Grandfather wink at him with a smile.

That was all the encouragement that he needed to know that all was alright.

Lady Frostbite had long used a part of her gown to cover her exposed chest.

She had also wanted to escape, however, Dan whispered into her ears and she calmed down.

They began on their long march through the forest.

Eros observed that these women had perfect control over the snake trees.

At their command, a path was made for them to follow through.

The sun was high in the sky and it was a hot day, but in this forest, travelling under the sun was made easy.

After another two hours of marching, Eros had started to see a mountain far off in the distance.

"Halt!" Shade commanded and the march stopped.

"We rest here thirty minutes."

The prisoners sighed in their exhaustion.

The women of the Medusa tribe rested at different points, some of them enjoying water from their bottles.

Shade sat in front of Eros offering him some water.

"Thank you, but I rather you give my grand son instead."

She nodded and sent the can of water Dan's way.

"Who thought you how to speak our language?" Shade asked.

"Well, if I must say, I think it's better to just think that I was born with it."

Eros chuckled a little. There was no way he was telling this woman that he could speak all languages under the sun because of his origin as a god.

While they conversed, Eros noticed moment deep within the forest.

This was movement that even the Medusa women could not sense.

"Hmmm, it would seem that we are not alone. Are those your neighbours?"

Just as Eros had finished talking, a huge snake rushed for one if the Medusas.

They tangled in a fight on the ground. As they did, more snakes also attacked.

Because of their speed, every other person thought that it was just snakes.

However, Eros had seen them properly. These were not just snakes. These were Nagas.

These were also a specie of snake people, a tribe of only women.

However, the nagas did not have Medusa head, they had heads of actual snakes.

They had snake heads, human like bodies, but still had snake lower bodies.

In other words, aside having human like parts like hands, a upper chest of three breast, they were entirely snake.

One look at the way the nagas and the Medusas fought and one could tell that these two tribes did not like one another.

The nagas were a lot. Their attack on the Medusas created an opportunity for escape for the prisoners.

Immediately, Eros also moved. his aim was to rescue Dan and Lady Frostbite.

The place had suddenly become a battlefield....
