章 1559: The Queen's Secret

The bolt of lightning was clearly aimed at the queen's guards. Blue light imbued with divine power dyed the entire sky blue, and there was a great boom like the wrath of the heavens falling. The earth quaked, and countless birds hiding in the swamp took to the air in flight, cawing as they fled the strife.

Whoosh!

Xia Fan saw one of Queen Meryl's guards fall from the sky, the beautiful white Cathead Eagle scorched black, its skin and feathers fused together and giving off black smoke. In the end, they fell into a turbid pool of water.

A sinister spotted alligator, its entire body hidden in the water so that only its golden eyes were showing, quickly swam over to the eagle's body, and the waters of the pool began to roil. The alligator twisted its body to tear apart the eagle and the guard, blood mixing in with the black waters as a stench began to spread throughout the swamp.
