"It's very difficult to capture her. It's best to find a way to get her out on her own,"
Medicine Emperor said after hearing Xiao Yan's words.
"Let her out on her own?"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered the system's recent reward: the Rank 8 Companion Purple Crystal Source.
He remembered that the original Sky-Swallowing Python was very interested in this item.
Now, even though it has the blood of the Ancient Sky Snake King, the Companion Purple Crystal Source should still be somewhat attractive, right?
Thinking this, Xiao Yan retrieved a jade bottle from the system space, uncorked it, and the scent of the Companion Purple Crystal Source slowly wafted out.
A buzz!
The next moment, the space trembled slightly, and a nine-colored figure suddenly flew out, snatching the jade bottle from Xiao Yan's hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled with relief.
Although there was a slight deviation,
it wasn't a big deal.
"Little one, stay with me from now on. I'll give you as much of this as you want,"
Xiao Yan said to the Sky-Swallowing Python with a mischievous smile.
As he spoke, he could clearly sense a glint of brilliance flash in the Sky-Swallowing Python's lavender eyes.
Then, it flew to Xiao Yan's side and burrowed into his arms.
"Hehe, you're in for a lucky break."
"Queen Medusa, having merged the bloodlines of two ancient beasts, will surely be able to easily break through to the Dou Emperor realm in the future."
"You know, even in ancient times, having two Dou Emperors in a family was extremely rare."
The Medicine Emperor sighed in awe as he watched Xiao Yan use his Companion Purple Crystal Source to subdue the Sky-Swallowing Python.
"Teacher, besides mastering spatial power, what other remarkable qualities does the Ancient Sky Snake King possess?"
Xiao Yan inquired.
"Excellent question."
"Like the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, it's the ancestor of all snake-like magical beasts."
"Besides mastering spatial power comparable to that of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon Clan, its most remarkable quality is its possession of all-attribute Dou Qi."
The Medicine Emperor briefly explained the Ancient Sky Snake King's remarkable qualities to Xiao Yan.
"All-attribute Dou Qi?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's face flashed with shock.
You have to know that on the Dou Qi Continent, the vast majority possess only a single attribute of Dou Qi.
For example, Hai Bodong possesses ice, Ling Ying possesses dark.
Only alchemists, whose fire attributes are tinged with a faint hint of wood, can barely be considered dual-attribute Dou Qi.
Now, upon learning that the Ancient Sky Snake King possesses Dou
Qi with all attributes, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be shocked. "From my observation, there's a high probability that Queen Medusa has inherited this advantage of Dou Qi with all attributes."
"This also means that once you become her enemy, unless you possess absolute power, it's virtually impossible to find a way to restrain her."
The Medicine Emperor's words further solidified Xiao Yan's resolve to cultivate Queen Medusa.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan slowly left the area and headed outside.
...
Outside.
A large number of Serpent People had already gathered.
Even before, when the thunderclouds gathered, they had speculated that the Queen was likely advancing.
When Xiao Yan emerged, everyone's eyes were on him.
"Elder Chen, I wonder how the Queen is doing now?"
Seeing Xiao Yan appear but no sign of the Queen, Yue Mei, who had the most contact with Xiao Yan, spoke first.
"Your Queen has successfully evolved,"
Xiao Yan said, pulling the Sky-Swallowing Python from his arms.
"This... could this be the legendary Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?"
Yin Shi, the most senior of the eight commanders, excitedly exclaimed.
"Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?"
"As expected of the Queen."
"I knew the Queen would succeed and lead our Serpent People out of this predicament."
Upon hearing Yin Shi's words, the other Serpent People froze in awe, followed by a burst of exclamations.
They didn't know what the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python was, but the name sounded impressive. It
was countless orders of magnitude higher than the 'Purple Nether Flame Serpent.'
Besides, wouldn't it seem uneducated to say they didn't know?
With outsiders present, they couldn't reveal their lack of education, or else they would be looked down upon by the humans.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just as everyone was amazed, several dark shadows flew over.
These individuals were none other than the Snakemen, hidden Dou Huang powerhouses.
"Lady Queen, have you truly succeeded?"
"Heaven has mercy on us, the Snakemen are finally no longer trapped in this damned desert."
"Under the leadership of Lady Queen, our Snakemen will surely prosper."
Several elders, tears streaming down their faces, cried out to the heavens.
"Don't get too excited."
"Although she has successfully evolved, it will take some time for her to fully recover."
"So, when I leave, I will take her with me.
" "As for the safety of your Snakemen, the puppets I left behind will protect you."
Xiao Yan spoke slowly, gazing at the excited Snakemen.
"You want to take the Lady Queen with you?"
"Absolutely not! The Lady Queen cannot leave our Snakemen."
"Yes, we Snakemen need Her Majesty the Queen."
Xiao Yan's words were met with immediate opposition from many of the Snakemen.
Boom!
As they chattered, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from Xiao Yan, causing all the Snakemen to subconsciously shut their mouths.
"I think you've misunderstood something."
"I'm merely informing you that I'll be taking Queen Medusa away, not negotiating with you."
"Besides, your Serpent People are merely an affiliated faction of my Dao Sect and have no right to say no to me."
Xiao Yan spoke as he stepped into the air.
It was only at this moment that the Serpent People leaders realized that this man was not someone they could dictate to.
If he so desired, he could easily wipe the Serpent People from the Tagor Desert.
"Elder Chen, please forgive us. We were simply too reluctant to leave Her Majesty, so we made such careless remarks."
"Your Majesty, I believe you can receive better training by returning to Dao Sect with you. It's indeed better than staying with our Serpent People."
Yue Mei, noticing Xiao Yan's anger, bowed and explained.
Her charming face was now filled with fear and trepidation.
As
Yue Mei finished speaking, Xiao Yan waved his arm in the air, and two dark shadows descended into the crowd.
"These are two puppets comparable to a five-star Dou Zong. If there's any danger, inject Dou Qi into them to activate them."
After leaving the two puppets behind, Xiao Yan left the Serpent Tribe without looking back. Xiao Li naturally followed closely in the air.
...
Deserted City.
Hai Bodong, following Xiao Yan's instructions, hid in the Mercenary Square for a while before emerging.
His shop had long been destroyed by Mo Cheng, leaving it in ruins.
After confirming that there was no danger, he called Qing Lin out.
"Hai Lao, your shop is destroyed. Where should we go next?"
Qing Lin asked with a hint of anxiety.
"Don't worry, I have my own place to stay,"
Hai Bodong said with a smile.
They couldn't go to Stone Desert City for the time being, but there was a woman in a red dress in Deserted City who wanted to become his disciple.
It seemed she wouldn't mind taking them in.
After all, she had been courting Hai Bodong for years during his seclusion.
It was just that Hai Bodong hadn't been interested in taking in a disciple before, so he hadn't taken her seriously.
Now, Hai Bodong had offered her an opportunity to demonstrate her abilities, and of course, the other party would seize it and entertain Hai Bodong and Qinglin.
During his time at the City Lord's Mansion, Hai Bodong had successfully transitioned his cultivation technique to a high-level Earth-level fighting technique, Mysterious Ice Hundred Dragons Soar!
"Finally, I've succeeded."
"Now, even against a true Dou Zong, I can fight with all my might."
"Once Brother Xiao helps me refine another Breaking Zong Pill, then I, Hai Bodong, will be a formidable Dou Zong expert."
Hai Bodong muttered to himself with a hint of a smile, exiting his cultivation state.
As he spoke, he suddenly sensed two Dou Huang-level auras approaching rapidly from outside the city.
"Dou Huang?"
"Oh no! They're probably time travelers. I need to take Qinglin and run."
Sensing the two auras outside, Hai Bodong immediately thought of time travelers.
Without hesitation, he called Qinglin and flew away from Mo City.
At the same time, he sent a call for help to Xiao Yan through the mercenary group's chat function.
...
outside Mo City.
"White Fang, are you sure this is the place?"
A man and a beast were flying towards Mo City at a very fast speed.
The man and beast were none other than Lu Man and the Eight-Winged Black Snake King from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
The Eight-Winged Black Snake King, known as White Fang, possessed a strength comparable to that of a six- or seven-star Dou Huang.
He possessed a secret method that allowed him to sense the presence of the Green Serpent Triple Eye.
Therefore, he had brought Lu Man with him to Mo City.
"No doubt it's in the city ahead
," the Eight-Winged Black Snake King affirmed Lu Man's inquiry.
"Alright, if we can find the owner of the Green Serpent Triple
Eye and train them, our Heavenly Serpent Mansion's influence on the continent will undoubtedly increase significantly." Lu Man nodded, a flicker of joy in his eyes.
"Wait, the Green Serpent Triple Eye's aura is rapidly moving."
"It must have sensed us and is trying to escape,"
he said as the Eight-Winged Black Snake King sensed the presence of Hai Bodong and Qing Lin, rapidly retreating from Mo City.
"Catch up with him. No matter what, we must bring the person with the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil back to the Sky Snake Mansion, even if it means becoming an enemy of a Douhuang."
Hearing the words of the Eight-Winged Black Snake King, Lu Man immediately spoke.
...
Mercenary Square.
"Brother Xiao, help, help!"
"I'm being targeted again. Two Douhuangs are chasing me."
Hai Bodong originally wanted to take Qinglin and run directly to Shimo City, but halfway, Xiao Yan sent a message to let him enter the Mercenary Square.
"Old Hai, who have you provoked again?"
Xiao Yan was a little speechless, looking at the panic-stricken Hai Bodong and asked.
It's amazing!
Why does danger always appear around Hai Bodong?
Could it be that he has a taunting attribute that can attract all dangers to his side?
