After Han Feng sent Xiao Yan to Rock Desert City, he piloted the treasure ship to the Snake-People Tribe.
Above the desert, dust swirled into the sky, but the protective layer outside the treasure ship automatically filtered out these impurities.
Looking at the monotonous colors below, Han Feng knew in his heart that this was a place with a harsh environment.
The problem with the Snake-People Tribe lay in the mismatch between their living habits and the land environment, a contradiction that would eventually erupt one day.
With Medusa's talent and strength, leading the Snake-People Tribe to glory in the future wouldn't be difficult. Han Feng considered whether he should make a move in advance and bring the Snake-People Tribe under his wing.
Whether it was the Black-Corner Region or the Central Plains, Han Feng had vast territories he could manage.
And a slight connection had also formed between the Snake-People Tribe and Han Feng because of Medusa.
After flying for a while, Han Feng finally saw an oasis.
The Snake-People Tribe's survival in the Tagor Desert relied mainly on these oases in the desert.
Every oasis was a gathering place for a Snake-People tribe.
Outside the oasis, some Snake-Person guards were patrolling.
Although the sky above the desert was clear, Han Feng's treasure ship was hidden by a formation, so the patrolling snake soldiers did not notice anything unusual.
"Is that the Snake-People Tribe?"
Lin Xian'er stood beside Han Feng, looking down at the oasis below.
Qing Lin's Jade Snake Three Flower Pupils could see further. She saw some snake women bathing by the lake, and densely packed snakes swimming in the oasis.
This was where her other half of bloodline came from.
Qing Lin touched the green scales on her arm. When she was young, the people of Desert City always discriminated against her and her mother because of this.
One side was Snake-People, the other side was human.
Qing Lin, a mixed-blood, was hated on both sides.
If not for Han Feng, Qing Lin dared not imagine how miserable her future life would be.
After leaving that small place of Desert City, Qing Lin's horizons gradually broadened.
She understood that she was bullied back then not because of the conflict between Snake-People and humans, but because she and her mother were too weak.
If you are weak, you will be bullied no matter what.
Now, returning to this place, her own strength had improved to the point where she didn't need to care about others' opinions.
Whether in the Snake-People Tribe or Desert City, few people could defeat her.
The scars in Qing Lin's heart gradually faded, replaced by a calm and confident composure.
Arriving above the Snake-Person Royal City, Han Feng first sensed the marks he had planted on Medusa and Zi Yan. Finding that they were both in the Royal Tower, he sent a message directly.
Inside the Royal Tower, Medusa sensed a familiar aura, and then a voice sounded in her ear.
"Han Feng!"
Medusa stood up abruptly.
Beside her was a purple energy egg.
Zi Yan was sleeping peacefully inside.
The next instant, Medusa left the Royal Tower and appeared in the sky.
Han Feng put away the treasure ship and walked out with the girls.
"Han Feng."
Medusa glanced behind Han Feng. She was familiar with Lin Xian'er and Qing Lin, but she didn't know Gu Xun'er.
"Are you here for Zi Yan?"
"Yes, and to see how you are doing by the way."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Medusa's mouth.
Actually, she had been quite worried about Han Feng's situation in the Nanli Continent before, but now it seemed everything was fine.
"Where is she?"
Han Feng looked into the Royal Tower. He sensed that Zi Yan was inside, so why hadn't she come out?
"Zi Yan she... ate too much energy and is now hibernating."
Medusa said helplessly.
She didn't know that Zi Yan would enter this state after consuming excessive energy, otherwise, she would definitely have limited Zi Yan's food intake.
"Hibernating? Take me to see her."
Han Feng said in surprise.
Medusa nodded and led Han Feng and the others to the Royal Tower.
With her leading the way, naturally no one in the Snake-Person Royal City dared to stop them.
There were just many curious gazes looking at Han Feng, guessing who he was.
Han Feng arrived at the Royal Tower. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Zi Yan lying in the energy egg.
He stepped forward to check Zi Yan's condition and felt relieved after finding no adverse conditions.
It seemed that the evolution of the Ancient Void Dragon had its own way.
"This girl, it seems she won't wake up for a while."
Han Feng turned to look at Medusa.
"Sorry to trouble you during this time."
Medusa shook her head. "This is what I should do."
She and Zi Yan hit it off very well. She was actually happy in her heart when she brought her along to the Tagor Desert back then.
After all, as the Snake-Person Queen, Medusa didn't have any friends in the Holy City.
"You came back after so many years. Is the Snake-People Tribe stable?"
"It's okay. The Snake-People Tribe is guarded by the four great elders, so it won't be chaotic under normal circumstances."
Medusa had no guard against Han Feng and also told him about the elders.
"And you, is the matter in the Nanli Empire settled?"
"Yes, the Purple Shattered Ruins won't have any crisis for five hundred years. The Nanli side has entered another period of peace."
Han Feng said.
"How is your cultivation recently?"
"Nine-star Dou Emperor. After preparing for a while, I plan to impact the Dou Ancestor realm."
A trace of seven-colored Dou Qi appeared in Medusa's hand.
After so many years, she finally returned to the nine-star Dou Emperor realm, only one step away from Dou Ancestor.
However, she was now several times stronger than she was back then.
The bloodline of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was definitely not comparable to the Purple Netherworld Flame Snake.
For magical beasts, under the same realm, bloodline grade was the most intuitive comparison.
Magical beasts with noble bloodlines would definitely not be weak in strength.
"That's great, just in time."
Han Feng took out a seven-colored stone from his storage ring.
As soon as the stone appeared, Medusa's snake pupils shrank instantly, staring straight at the seven-colored stone in Han Feng's hand.
Gulp.
The sound of swallowing saliva sounded very inelegantly from Medusa's throat.
Seven-Colored Raw Stone!
"Where, where did you find it?"
Medusa suppressed the desire in her heart and asked.
"Your cheap sister, Cai'er found it."
Han Feng laughed.
Medusa spat lightly.
"More like younger sister."
"This thing, did she..."
"Yes, she asked me to pass it to you."
Hearing this, Medusa's heart trembled.
Seven-Colored Raw Stone, such a heavenly treasure, if she found it, would she think of giving it to Cai'er?
Medusa felt a little ashamed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Behaviorally speaking, Cai'er indeed seemed more like an older sister. Ever since they met, she had been taking care of her emotions.
Han Feng put the Seven-Colored Raw Stone into Medusa's hand.
"Take it. Just right to break through to Dou Ancestor in one go."
Medusa held the stone emitting strange energy in her hand and took a deep breath.
"Thank you."
"You should say that to Cai'er."
Han Feng picked up Zi Yan and walked out of the Royal Tower.
"When you break through, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"Wait until you break through first."
Han Feng left a sentence and left the Royal Tower.
Since the Snake-People Tribe had four great elders guarding it all year round, if Medusa wanted to have the primary voice, she had to break through to Dou Ancestor, otherwise, her orders would inevitably encounter some obstacles.
Especially in matters concerning the entire Snake-People Tribe.
The affairs of the Snake-People Tribe could ultimately only be handled by the Snake-People Tribe themselves. Han Feng could only be a middleman and let Medusa choose for herself.
But according to his inference, Medusa should not refuse.
————————
"Is she Zi Yan?"
Gu Xun'er looked at the purple-haired girl sleeping in the energy egg and asked curiously.
"Yes, Zi Yan is very strong. Even now, I can't beat her, but Xun'er, you can try."
"If Sister Xian'er can't beat her, then I definitely..."
"Don't be modest. I know you've held back a lot of strength."
"Isn't Sister Xian'er the same?"
The two girls chatted around Zi Yan, following slowly behind Han Feng.
Han Feng and Qing Lin walked in front. This was Qing Lin's first time walking in the Snake-Person Royal City.
She found that there were Snake-People all around, and they looked at her with such rich expressions.
Curiosity, appreciation, dissatisfaction, hatred.
"Uncle Han, there's someone over there who seems very unfriendly."
Qing Lin suddenly pointed to the front right.
Han Feng looked there and saw a sneaky Snake-Person with fierceness in his eyes, seeming to be preparing to do something bad.
The conflict between the two races sometimes could not be completely eliminated even by the highest ruler.
Han Feng shook his head, and a casual burst of soul power flew out, controlling the plotting Snake-Person.
Sure enough, the other party's idea was to attack Qing Lin and the others to incite conflict between the two sides.
With a thought, Han Feng made the Snake-Person go to the Royal Tower to confess his guilt.
Disregarding everything for hatred, vainly attempting to ignite a greater war, such people were not rare in the Snake-People Tribe.
If he wanted to manage the Snake-People Tribe well in the future and integrate them into Han Feng's camp, the Royal Tower must have corresponding control measures.
Although most Snake-People did not have extreme hatred for humans, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't be incited by a few extreme Snake-People.
Han Feng and the others wandered around the Royal City for a long time, bought some souvenirs, and tasted the Snake-People Tribe's food.
The Snake-People didn't know that this human, Han Feng, might be their future ruler, but hearing that Han Feng was a guest of the Empress, most Snake-People behaved very enthusiastically.
Some mature snake women even took the initiative to come up and give gifts and invitations, while showing off their own advantages.
The atmosphere in the Royal City was indeed cheerful.
Lin Xian'er and Gu Xun'er tacitly stopped talking, their eyes scanning the surrounding snake women seriously.
Must not let them get close to Master (Mr. Han)!
——————————
After eating and drinking their fill, Han Feng and the others returned to the treasure ship.
It was still more comfortable to live here.
That night, Han Feng felt a powerful aura erupt from the Royal Tower. This was Medusa starting to refine the Seven-Colored Raw Stone.
Once the raw stone was refined, breaking through to Dou Ancestor would be a matter of course.
It might even soar directly to three or four stars.
Under the command of the commander, the Royal City guards quickly began to be on alert.
The Queen's breakthrough was a major event that must not be taken lightly.
If the movement in the city interfered with the Queen's breakthrough, it would be a great sin.
On the treasure ship, Han Feng sat at the bow, and Yao Chen came out for some air.
"Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. You have quite a few helpers."
Yao Chen looked at the energy fluctuations in the distance and sighed.
A bloodline like the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python had the potential to enter the Saint realm in the future.
To find such a helper in the desolate Northwest Continent, Yao Chen felt that Han Feng was quite lucky.
"Master, what do you want to do in the future?"
Han Feng suddenly asked.
Hearing this question, Yao Chen fell into thought.
"Before, it was just trying to survive, and then seeing old friends from the past. If I can be successfully resurrected, I will go find you, unfilial disciple."
Han Feng smiled lightly.
"And now?"
"Now, watching you, preventing you from being too extreme."
Yao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, then please watch carefully, Master."
Han Feng said.
The master and disciple silently enjoyed the night breeze for a while, then Yao Chen went back into the gourd, and Han Feng returned to his room.
The next day, Han Feng took the treasure ship around the Tagor Desert and checked the situation of the eight major tribes.
Back then, he spent a lot of effort searching for Heavenly Flames in the desert, but now he could easily traverse it in a day.
On the third day, Han Feng came to the place where the Green Lotus Core Flame was born, entered the depths of the earth's core, and comprehended the power of the Green Lotus Core Flame.
"Is the Profound Meaning of Heavenly Flames you mentioned true?"
Yao Chen said somewhat doubtfully.
He had never heard that Heavenly Flames could extend to any profound meaning.
At most, it was using Heavenly Flames to create powerful Dou Skills.
Han Feng sat on the Green Lotus platform, comprehended for another full cycle, and then calmed his breath.
"Naturally, it's true."
Hearing this, Yao Chen summoned the Bone Chilling Flame in his hand and played with it carefully.
He could feel that the Heavenly Flame could still be further developed, but the road ahead was vague. To make new achievements, his current strength was not enough.
Han Feng comprehended by the root of the Green Lotus for half a quarter of an hour, and then began to circulate the "Flame Mantra."
Unfortunately, he did not get a deeper response from the Green Lotus Core Flame.
It seemed that the time was not yet right.
Han Feng flew away from the magma sea and brought out the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake by the way, letting Qing Lin form a contract with it.
This Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake had already reached the peak of the fourth tier, and the next step was to break through to the existence of the fifth tier.
Considering that he planned to send Qing Lin to the Heavenly Snake Mansion for further studies, Han Feng decided to help Qing Lin master a Dou King-level pet beast.
He refined a sixth-grade fire attribute pill and let the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake take it.
Advancing to Dou King was a watershed, for humans and for magical beasts as well.
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake soon began to transform. The powerful energy in the pill constantly stimulated the potential in its bloodline.
As a magical beast evolves, the concentration of bloodline in its body will also gradually increase.
The improvement is limited in the early stage, but when breaking through from Dou Emperor to Dou Ancestor, there will be a qualitative leap.
Of course, for someone like Medusa who could evolve directly from a Purple Netherworld Flame Snake to a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, it was like green smoke rising from ancestral graves (extreme luck).
Almost impossible.
Generally speaking, evolution is evolution within a reasonable range. The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake itself had an extraordinary bloodline and was full of spirituality. At this moment, its scales became brighter red, its body became larger, and the most special thing was that small horns grew on its two snake heads.
Two-Headed Fire Spirit Flood Dragon!
Han Feng saw the direction of this magical beast's evolution.
Its fortune was not shallow.
As expected of a magical beast that grew up in the birthplace of the Green Lotus Core Flame.
The direction of evolution could be said to be one of the best.
Han Feng was happy to see this creation and fed two Green Lotus Core Seeds into the mouth of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Flood Dragon.
Boom!
Rich green flames emerged from its body, and the evolution had not stopped.
