Chapter 69 The Xiao Family is Too Jumpy
The next morning, Yao Yan said goodbye to the Amethyst Winged Lion King and kept the three failed pills that he had failed to refine as a reward for taking the medicinal materials away. Although these three pills did not have the magical effect of the Amethyst Solid Source Pill, the energy contained in them was a great tonic for any fire-attributed magical beast.
The bodies of Warcraft have always been strong, otherwise they would not be able to swallow all kinds of natural treasures raw, so these waste pills that are "extremely poisonous" to humans are treasures to them, and they only need to be swallowed and refined.
……
Two streaks of purple light streaked across the blue sky and flew towards the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains.
The two streams of light were naturally Yao Yan and Cai Die. Along the way, Yao Yan was feeling the purple cloud wings behind him. It must be said that the person who created the flying fighting skills was a genius. Unlike ordinary fighting skills, flying fighting skills were a more special kind of fighting skills. Its essence was to refine the wings of the monster into the body and turn them into a part of oneself.
Thinking of this, Yao Yan couldn't help but think of the Mohist School in the original novel, a family that particularly liked to conduct physical experiments. They not only transplanted the organs or bodies of monsters into their own bodies, but also did not spare humans.
In the Douqi Continent, the Mohist School is definitely a unique flower.
Unfortunately, the technology in the Douqi Continent is not advanced, and it cannot reach its peak by relying solely on transplantation.
Yao Yan thought to himself, "Now that we have the remaining map, we can ask Hai Bodong to find the remaining one. If we are lucky and find it on him, that would be the best. If not, we can only offer a reward to search for it. Of the four remaining maps, only the one in the Monster Mountain Range has the special lotus mark, the others do not. So we don't need to worry about people noticing that it is related to the Pure Lotus Demon Fire."
He remembered that the four fragments of the map were in the Warcraft Mountain Range, Haibo East, the Black Horn Auction House, and the Zhongzhou Space Auction House.
The two incomplete maps he had obtained now, one belonged to the Warcraft Mountain Range, and the other was obtained from a mercenary in the Shennong Mountain Range. The latter must have fallen into the hands of two auction houses in the original book, but he didn't know which one it was. However, he was already satisfied to be able to collect three in a short period of time.
There are still nearly thirty years before the Pure Lotus Demon Fire is born, which is enough time for him to search. At worst, when he has enough strength in the later stage, he can ask the Soul Clan to search for it.
When your strength reaches a certain level, many problems that seem difficult at present will no longer be problems.
"Master, how do you feel?"
Caidie looked at the purple cloud wings on Yaoyan's back, curiosity flashing in her eyes, and asked.
Flying fighting skills are a rare thing in the Jia Ma Empire. She has only heard of it, and this is the first time she has actually seen it.
"Very good, as if it were your own arm."
Yao Yan chuckled, then stomped on the air hard. With the burst of power, the surrounding air instantly exploded, accompanied by a circle of air waves sweeping over. His figure had disappeared from the spot, and appeared hundreds of meters away as if teleporting. The speed was so fast that even the colorful butterflies were stunned.
The wings of Dou Qi on her back trembled slightly, and her speed suddenly increased. She caught up with him, and said with a playful look in her eyes, "Sir, do you want to compete with me in speed?"
"No, just for the experience."
Yao Yan shook his head and explained that he was not that bored. He mainly wanted to see the effect of flying fighting skills on his own speed. As expected, it was indeed extremely exaggerated. This flying fighting skill could even slightly affect the surrounding wind energy, making the wind resistance almost zero, causing his current speed to be a bit scary.
Even among Douhuang, it is estimated that few people can catch up with him when he bursts out with all his strength. Moreover, he is more flexible and is no longer restricted to accelerating in a straight line like before.
This flying fighting skill undoubtedly made up for his last shortcoming.
"Then would you like to compete with me?"
Caidie extended the invitation with a smile, her aqua blue eyes showing some anticipation. She really liked the feeling of flying freely, as if the world was so big that there was no place she could not go. And with someone she cared about by her side, the feeling was naturally even better.
Yao Yan did not refuse. Seeing that they still had a long way to go before they could fly out of the Monster Mountain Range, he said, "The border of the Monster Mountain Range is the end point. We will meet there!"
"it is good!"
Caidie nodded heavily, her eyes becoming more serious.
"I'll count to three and then I'll start."
Yao Yan said seriously.
"it is good!"
Caidie responded with trust.
"three!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Yan suddenly activated the third stage of acceleration. Accompanied by three consecutive air explosions, his figure disappeared from Caidie's sight, leaving her alone in the air.
"Young Master, you are a big liar!" With Caidie's angry shout, she started to hunt down Yao Yan!
……
At this moment, at the edge of the Warcraft Mountain Range, three Douwang-level warriors are stationed there to prevent any unusual movements inside the Warcraft Mountain Range.
For the Gama Empire, the Monster Mountain Range is both a treasure land and a dangerous place. There are too many monsters in it. Once a beast tide is set off, it is enough to destroy all the surrounding towns.
Therefore, the Gama Empire had reached an agreement with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the overlord of the Monster Mountain Range, that human strongmen were not allowed to set foot in the core area of the Monster Mountain Range at will and slaughter monsters above level four at will, and it would also restrict monsters of level four and above from setting foot in human areas.
As for low-level magical beasts below level four, most of them have low IQs, so the Amethyst Winged Lion King will not deliberately protect them.
The Warcraft Mountain Range is so small that if low-level Warcraft are allowed to reproduce in large numbers, the ecology of the entire Warcraft Mountain Range will collapse. The Amethyst Winged Lion King, who possesses intelligence that is no less than that of humans, is naturally aware of this, so the two sides made an agreement that is beneficial to both parties.
Of course, rules are just rules.
A truly strong person will not be restricted by rules.
Over the years, many powerful men from the Gama Empire still ventured into the depths of the Monster Mountain Range to train in an attempt to make a breakthrough, but most of them never returned.
Among the three Dou Wangs, a tall, middle-aged man wearing armor suddenly spoke up and said, "According to the latest news, half a month ago, a Dou Huang-level warrior had a great battle with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. The commotion was so great that many fourth and fifth-level monsters were alarmed."
"Is he the Douhuang strongman of the Jia Ma Empire?"
The oldest Dou Wang stroked his beard and asked with a frown.
"No, judging from the description of the witness, it should be an unfamiliar Douhuang strongman."
The middle-aged man in armor shook his head and said with great certainty.
Almost all the Dou Huang masters of the Jia Ma Empire were recorded in the royal family, and even their attack habits and fighting skills were recorded. It was very easy to distinguish the identity of the opponent from the movements and traces of battle. The Dou Huang who fought against the Amethyst Winged Lion King this time was obviously not any of them.
There was a pause.
He continued, "I suspect this strange Douhuang strongman is related to the Ice Emperor, because not long ago, two people holding the Ice Emperor token boarded a flying magic beast and came to this area. And considering the Ice Emperor's personality, those who can interact with him must be very powerful!"
"Do you have any information about the identities of those two people?"
The older Dou Wang asked with great interest, "Ice Emperor Hai Bodong has always been a loner. According to the royal records, his only friend is Teng Shan from the Mitre family. Now two more have appeared, which is really curious."
"No, they are all strangers. I only know that one of them is a snake woman!"
The man in armor said in a deep voice.
The older Dou Wang frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone, and slowly said, "Snake girl? The snake people have been a little restless recently. It is said that the current Queen Medusa has inherited the throne of the snake people. This queen's style of doing things is extremely domineering and cruel. I wonder if it will have an impact on the Gama Empire in the future."
"According to the Gama Empire's long-standing custom, they should send troops to strike a blow to the Snake People."
The Dou Wang, who had remained silent, spoke. He had a serious face and a solemn look in his eyes, as if he had dealt with the snake people before.
The elder Dou Wang shook his head slightly and sighed, "We have to test the strength and determination of the Snake People. They have always coveted the land of the Jia Ma Empire!"
There was a pause.
He looked at the previously silent Dou Wang and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, if the Jia Ma Empire sends troops to attack the Snake People, are you willing to be the vanguard? If you are willing, the Jia Ma Empire can promote you to marshal and lead an army alone."
Xiao Lin's expression became more solemn after hearing this. He pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "If the empire needs it, the Xiao family is willing to serve the empire!"
He knew that the Xiao family had never been integrated into the core circle of the Jia Ma Empire. Even if he had the strength of a Dou Wang, it would be useless. Some things required a token of allegiance, and it was not enough to just have the strength. At least before you were strong enough to ignore any rules, everything you said and did needed to consider your family and your future.
Xiao Lin has always wanted the Xiao family to be completely integrated into the core circle of the imperial capital. He knows this is an opportunity, even though the risk is extremely high!
"Brother Xiao, just agree. I'll go with you then!"
Nalan Jie, who was wearing armor, patted his chest and made the assurance with a hearty smile.
Xiao Lin looked at his best friend, and a smile appeared on his serious face. He said, "I feel relieved to have the help of you, the Lionheart Marshal of the Empire!"
Looking at the two people talking happily, the old royal family of the Jia Ma Empire narrowed his eyes, the smile on his lips did not diminish, but there was a strong coldness in the depths of his eyes. He knew that the Xiao family and the Nalan family were very close, and the patriarchs of both sides were friends of life and death. Over the years, Nalan Jie, the Lionhearted Marshal, has been running around for Xiao Lin, hoping that he can become one of the marshals of the empire. By then, the marriage between the two families will surely become a good story.
This undoubtedly violated the taboo of the royal family. There are some things that the royal family does not have to give you just because you want them. Haven't you seen that so many fighting kings in the empire are huddled together in a city?
The Xiao family has been too active in recent years!
