Chapter 102 The Fisherman Discovered in Advance
"elder brother!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Xiao Yuan put away the jade piece and turned to look at Xiao Yan who was running towards him.
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Yan took out a healing pill, threw it to Xiao Yuan, and asked with concern.
"It's okay. There was an acquaintance among that group of strong men who helped me."
Xiao Yuan took the pill, put it into his mouth, and nodded.
"Third brother, do you still know those strong men?"
Xiao Yan asked with a hint of surprise.
"Hehe, it's just that one of them had worked together before in the Monster Mountain Range. I got the Companion Purple Crystal Source with her."
Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard this and said lightly.
"Oh? The Douhuang aura that the teacher sensed earlier was the strong man that you, Third Brother, know, right?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Well, in my opinion, this group of people are also here for the strange fire!"
Xiao Yuan nodded and continued.
"Are you here for the strange fire too?"
Xiao Yan frowned, but soon relaxed his brows, and then smiled:
"So, we can take advantage of their chaotic fight to fish in troubled waters and seize the strange fire?"
"Hehe, yes!"
Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard this: "I just checked, there are nine people in their group, one Dou Huang, three Dou Wang, and five Dou Ling. The Dou Huang is an acquaintance of mine, so he will definitely not embarrass us.
Among them, there is a Dou Wang whose soul power is very strong, and those strong men seem to rely on it. I suspect that it is Gu He. It seems that he may have known the news of the strange fire, so he summoned the strong men and went deep into the territory of the Snake People.
Although this lineup is already luxurious enough, the leaders of the eight tribes of the Serpent People are not pushovers. If they start fighting, it will definitely be very intense. This is our chance!"
After hearing Xiao Yuan's analysis, Xiao Yan couldn't help but narrow his eyes and nodded.
"In that case, let's get going and see if we can be the fisherman for once!"
After a little thought, Xiao Yan made up his mind. After a short rest with Xiao Yuan, he embarked on a journey into the depths of the desert.
Along the way, with the concealing aura of Yao Lao, and the fact that Gu He and others made quite a noise when passing by the Charm Snake Tribe in front, Yun Yun also realized that Xiao Yuan seemed to be planning to follow them, so she not only gave him a jade piece that could help him contact her, she also took special action to destroy most of the Charm Snake Tribe's guard facilities.
This allowed Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan to pass through the Charm Snake Tribe very easily. After a night of travel, they finally arrived at the heart of the Snake People.
On the horizon ahead, the outline of the Temple of Queen Medusa can be seen.
However, correspondingly, the road is becoming more and more difficult to travel.
At this moment they were hiding under the sand dunes, and from time to time they could hear the rustling sound of snake tails scraping across the sand from above.
"These damned humans actually dared to rush into the depths of the desert so arrogantly. If we catch them, we will make them feel the pain of being devoured by thousands of snakes!"
On the sand dunes, under the scorching sun, a snake man who looked like the leader wiped the sweat off his face and cursed.
"Captain, what happened? Why did the tribe suddenly enter a state of martial law?"
A snake man swung his tail impatiently, his eyes swept across the empty desert, and asked with some confusion. He was dragged out early in the morning and began searching the entire desert.
Hearing this snake man's question, a dozen nearby snake men also cast doubtful eyes on the leading snake man. Obviously, they were not in high status and they were not sure about the whole story.
"Hmph, what's going on? Last night, a group of powerful humans broke through the defenses of the Charming Snake Tribe and went deep into the desert. According to the intelligence from the Charming Snake Tribe, there seemed to be a Dou Huang, three Dou Wangs, and several Dou Ling masters in that group."
The leading snake man snorted coldly with a slightly gloomy expression.
Hearing this, the faces of the surrounding snakemen suddenly changed. One Dou Huang and three Dou Wang? Damn, does the Human Empire want to start a war again? Among the snakemen, no large tribe can resist this terrifying lineup alone.
"Now all the tribes of the Serpent People have entered a period of martial law, and according to the information I have received, the leaders of the eight major tribes have received orders from Her Majesty the Queen and have begun to rush to the temple in the center of the desert. The fastest one should be able to arrive tonight, and the slowest one may need a day later."
When talking about Her Majesty the Queen, there was a piety like a fanatic on the face of the leading snake man.
"As long as three leaders can arrive at the temple, Her Majesty the Queen will order a carpet search. Humph, so what if they have Douhuang? They are a bunch of people who don't know their own strength. As long as the strong men of the Snake People gather together, they will be chased away like dogs without a home!"
The leading snakeman sneered, looked up at the deserted desert, shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and shouted:
"Let's go to another place. It looks like there are no traces of humans here."
Following the leader's shouts, the team gradually searched away, leaving behind a large area of empty desert.
After the team disappeared at the end of the horizon, the sand dunes they were walking on suddenly trembled slightly, and then two figures jumped out of the sand dunes with yellow sand all over the sky. Their feet landed steadily on the sand, looked up at the place where the snake team disappeared, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly.
"It's really getting more and more troublesome. Now there are snake patrols passing through this desert almost every once in a while."
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly.
Xiao Yuan shook his head when he heard this: "This is not a big problem. The main thing is that they said that the strong men of the Snake Tribe are also coming quickly. Although Gu He and his men's lineup cannot be underestimated, once the strong men of the Snake Tribe really gather together, I'm afraid they will have no choice but to retreat!"
"Well, I think they have already thought of this. I'm afraid they will be ready to take action this afternoon!"
Xiao Yan also nodded in agreement, then took out the detailed map from his ring, stared at the hideous snake head symbol in the center of the desert, and said softly:
"The temple of Queen Medusa is in front of us. There are many small and medium-sized tribes around the temple. The closer to the temple, the stricter the defense. Among them is Queen Medusa's personal guard, the Medusa Snake Guard, which is the most elite force of the snake people!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan subconsciously wanted to say: I’m fighting the elite!
But I still held back.
Since you are here to fishermen, you should not make it public.
so.
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at each other and chose to rush towards the temple with the help of Yao Lao's super radar and concealing breath. Running on the ground is naturally not as fast as flying, but with the help of Yao Lao's powerful soul perception, the snake patrols scattered in the depths of the desert were all dodged by Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan in advance.
Even so, the two of them narrowly avoided dozens of patrol teams on the way, and it took them half a day to finally reach the vicinity of the temple.
"Finally we're here."
Leaning against a huge rock in front of the outer wall of the temple, Xiao Yuan wiped the sweat off his forehead and let out a long sigh.
"Yes!"
Xiao Yan was eating Qi-recovering pills on the side, looking weak and overworked: "For the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, I really tried my best."
Xiao Yuan on the side was fine.
The five Qi Palaces took turns to provide Dou Qi. For him, endurance was never a problem with this level of Dou Qi consumption.
While Xiao Yan was resting, Xiao Yuan simply turned his head and checked the situation around the temple from behind the boulder.
The temple is located in the holy city of the snake people. At present, the gates of the holy city are closed, and on the city walls, fully armed snake guards are patrolling back and forth.
Above the city wall, a dozen large black birds were circling back and forth, their sharp eyes constantly scanning outside the city, not missing any slight movement.
Obviously, the defense level here is already very strict. If Gu He and others had not come, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan would probably have no chance at all.
but
Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, the Yin and Yang flames in his body were emitting waves, which should have sensed the existence of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.
Yao Lao also sensed the same thing and told Xiao Yan the good news.
This brought a little more smile to Xiao Yan's face.
Although it was a bit hard, this trip was worth it!
At this time, Yao Lao's voice suddenly sounded: "Be careful, there is a strong aura approaching here."
Hearing Yao Lao's reminder, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan hurriedly took out a golden blanket from the storage ring and covered themselves with it, blending into the desert. Their aura was suppressed to the lowest level, and Yao Lao's soul power completely concealed their aura.
Through the gap in the blanket, one could see a dark figure rushing over. When it was about to reach a hundred meters away from the city, it suddenly stopped in mid-air and shouted in a slightly cold voice, "The leader of the Ink Snake Tribe, Mobas, is here to see Her Majesty the Queen!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Why hasn’t Gu He come yet?
This Mobas had a slightly sturdy figure, with a thin shirt casually draped over his body. His arms were covered with strange black tattoos. When the tattoos reached his palms, two ferocious black snake heads were revealed. The snake heads were slightly raised, as if they would break out of the body at any time, and there was a hint of fierceness.
The snake-men guards were also delighted to see Mobas, but Mobas did not communicate with them and flew directly into the hall.
After a moment, Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and silently mouthed to Xiao Yan: "They are coming!"
As Xiao Yuan's mouth opened and closed, several powerful auras appeared not far outside the city.
Immediately afterwards, Mobas and Yue Mei also appeared from the hall, looking at the huge shadow in the sky with gloomy faces.
I saw a huge flying monster floating in the air a few hundred meters outside the city wall, and four human figures with wings on their backs were also floating not far in front of the monster. The terrifying aura was emanating from these people.
Seeing this, Mobas flew forward, his voice containing some coldness, rang out in the sky: "Human, why did you trespass into our territory without permission? If you don't want to provoke a war between the Gama Empire and the Snake People, I advise you to go back to where you came from!"
"It seems they still need to discuss terms."
Xiao Yuan's eyes rolled around, and then he gestured to Xiao Yan.
He planned to go straight into the temple while everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, but then nodded and chose to follow Xiao Yuan's footsteps, moving quietly on the ground.
In order not to attract attention, the two of them moved slowly.
The progress of the conversation in the sky is also advancing bit by bit.
"Her Majesty Queen Medusa, in the ancient river of the Gama Empire, I came here not to start a war with the nobles, but I just have something to talk to you about. Please show up to see me!"
Gu He's voice rumbled as his fighting spirit grew stronger.
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan remained unmoved and crawled towards the entrance of the temple with all their heart.
And a moment later, an extremely powerful aura suddenly appeared high in the sky above the city wall, accompanied by a strange distortion of space, and a graceful body with beautiful curves slowly appeared under the gaze of countless people.
The beautiful woman who suddenly appeared was wearing an elegant purple brocade robe. Her body under the robe was plump and exquisite, just like a ripe peach, exuding a faint charm. Her three thousand black hair casually fell from her shoulders and vertically hung between her slender waist. Under the brocade robe was a purple snake tail, which swayed slightly, giving off a wild and enchanting temptation.
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were in perfect harmony and didn't even look at Queen Medusa in the sky. They took this opportunity to continue crawling towards the entrance of the temple.
"Her Majesty the Queen!"
After this charming woman appeared, all the snake people knelt down, and their voices of respect broke through the sky.
Looking at Queen Medusa appearing in the sky, Mobas with a cold face, a touch of intoxication and deep admiration flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the two snakemen guards guarding the temple also kneeling down, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan immediately took the opportunity to enter the temple. Unexpectedly, Queen Medusa in the sky suddenly turned around, her eyes swept directly in the direction of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Who's there! Come out!"
As soon as he said this, Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth and rushed in, while Xiao Yan's body stiffened subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, Mobas, who always responded quickly to Queen Medusa's orders, blasted out a stream of fighting spirit and shot it towards Xiao Yan at the entrance of the temple.
"Damn, how did this woman find out!"
Xiao Yan cursed inwardly, glanced at Xiao Yuan who had already entered the temple, gritted his teeth, and immediately threw away the blanket. Looking at the stream of fighting spirit that was attacking him, a dark white flame flashed in his eyes.
