Fights Break Sphere: I am not Xiao Yan

Chapter 125: Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes

“I never thought there would be such a place deep in the desert.”

Xiao Yan stood on the back of the lion king and looked down. The quicksand that had originally spread to the end of his vision suddenly sank, and the yellow sand and dust fell into the abyss like a waterfall under the push of the wind.

There seemed to be a soft light flickering in the deep valley that swallowed the desert.

"My lord, this is the sunken canyon. However, since most of the monsters inside are snakes, this place is often called the 'Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes' by the outsiders."

"Although this place is called a canyon, it is actually an underground cave. The interior is complex and tortuous and roughly divided into layers. The canyon outside is just its entrance."

Although the Great Elder has reached the Douhuang realm, he still looked solemn when he mentioned this place: "In the depths of this underground space, there are many fifth and sixth level high-level magic beasts active. Even I dare not go too deep."

In the endless lifeless desert, this place can be said to be one of the few rich places. Naturally, it is crowded with countless monsters, including many fierce ones.

Not to mention those like the Purple Nether Flame Snake which have ancient blood in their bodies, there are already double-digit Dou Huangs entrenched among them.

If not for this, the snake people would have already moved their land here to avoid having to come here to hunt again and again.

"Based on the scope we have explored so far, this underground space has at least six floors."

Normally, the second and third level snake spirits needed by civilians would be randomly found in the periphery and dealt with hastily. Only when important figures like the next generation tribal leader needed souls, would masters come here specifically to select suitable races and set up a dragnet just to catch one.

In the beginning, the Great Elder put a lot of thought into preparing the Purple Flame Snake for Medusa.

"Now that I think about it, I'm really glad I made the choice I made..."

The Great Elder sighed softly.

If it weren't for the fire snake with ancient blood in its body, Medusa would not have such a high evolutionary limit. At most, she would have a bloodline comparable to that of a Dou Zun to choose from.

"Is there a sixth level in the depths?"

Xiao Yan pondered: "Then why didn't you investigate to see if there are any Dou Zong-level monsters in the deeper part?"

"It's not that easy..."

The Great Elder felt helpless.

"We don't know how many floors this underground space has. It's just rumored that a queen once found a path leading to a deeper place on the sixth floor."

"But... at the beginning, we didn't sense the existence of any aura beyond Douhuang. I guess the monsters in this place are just like the queen before, stuck at the peak of the sixth level and unable to advance."

She found an ancient map in her ring, which roughly marked the conditions of the underground space. However, compared with the maps drawn by professionals like Hai Bodong, these abstract markings seemed too sloppy.

At least Xiao Yan didn't see anything useful.

"If you want this little girl to find a snake spirit, then I suggest you just look for a fourth-level one on the periphery."

The Great Elder glanced at Qing Lin who was hiding behind Xiao Yan and said, "This little girl's cultivation is still too low. If she can become a Great Fighter like the Queen, then maybe she can find a sixth-level magical beast."

"It turns out that it is a tradition for the snake people to be born with cultivation..."

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, obviously thinking of Xiao Xiao in the original novel.

He had the strength of a Dou Zong when he was born, and before he had time to practice, he was directly promoted to an eight-star Dou Sheng.

If I remember the age correctly... Xiao Xiao was less than eight years old at that time, right?

The Fighting Saint star is actually older than her.

Even Xiao Xuan would cry if he saw this speed of cultivation, and even Muchen would stare at him, right?
"It's okay, I can handle it!"

Qing Lin glanced at Xiao Yan, and as if to save face for him, he clenched his fist and encouraged the elder: "Even if it is a seventh-level monster, I can give it a try."

Although she still cared about the bloodline of the snake people, after all, all the discrimination and resistance over the years were caused by it, and she couldn't just laugh it off.

But since it can improve her cultivation strength and help Xiao Yan better in the future, she is still willing to accept the secret method of this clan.

"Level 7? Hi~"

The Great Elder laughed for a moment, thinking that it was just the stubborn temper of the little girl, and that she said that just to argue with her.

A powerful being at the Dou Zong level, even if his soul has been extracted and he is bound by secret techniques, cannot be subdued by a little girl like you who is only in her early teens.

Don’t you see how big the gap in strength is?
"Secret method?"

Xiao Yan reached out and rubbed Qing Lin's head to calm him down, then he slowly realized that there was a small misunderstanding between the two of them.

He came here to Qinglin just to find a lot of snake-shaped monsters and put them into the space inside his eyes, so that Sanhuatong could draw power and improve his realm.

However, the Great Elder seemed to have discovered the nature of the Green Scaled Snake-Human hybrid and thought that he was here to cast a secret spell on him.

"Can someone like Qinglin use the secret techniques of the snake people?"

Xiao Yan was a little surprised. After all, the secret method of the snake people relied on their own nature similar to that of magical beasts to gradually merge with the souls of snakes.

Qinglin now looks more like a human being. If he were to force the soul of a monster into his body, there would probably be strong rejection.

“This has not been attempted before.”

The Great Elder was also a little hesitant. She had lived for so many years and had never seen a mixed-blood child like Qinglin who could grow up healthily, let alone test whether he could inherit the secret technique.

"The records within the tribe are limited to a certain generation of queens who successfully evolved and mated with outsiders. The children born were like magical beasts, born with natural cultivation and a much longer lifespan."

"As for the others... unfortunately, the snake people have experienced several extinction crises and have migrated more than ten times. Many things have been lost in the past."

The Great Elder spread his hands and sighed, "It is only because of an old fellow like me who retired from the throne of Medusa that the records of successive queens can be preserved."

An existence like her is living history. Not only has she lived for hundreds of years, but she has also inherited enough information from the previous generation of Medusa. Her brain is filled with at least nearly a thousand years of history.

"However, the secret techniques of the snake people are based on blood. Since this little girl has snake people's blood flowing in her veins, perhaps there is a chance to build secret techniques on her."

If it's bloodline, maybe there's a way?
Xiao Yan lowered his head and glanced at Qing Lin.

According to Yao Lao, the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils, like the Evil Poison Body, have nothing to do with genetics, and to this day no one has figured out the pattern of its appearance.

If I use mystical techniques on her, there shouldn't be any conflicts, right?

"Teacher, Qinglin has an extra companion soul...it shouldn't have any impact on her, right?"

Xiao Yan couldn’t think of any harm in it. After all, this companion soul could grow along with the main body and would not be a burden. In times of emergency, it could also reveal its true form, greatly increasing its strength.

Previously, Medusa transformed into a giant snake and was able to withstand several thunderbolts before her body collapsed. But if it were someone like Jia Xingtian, he would be finished after just one thunderbolt.

"Why do you keep asking questions that I don't know about..."

Yao Lao was also quite helpless. A special physique like this one is rare in a century. It is very difficult to just know the relevant information. How could it be possible to understand it so clearly?
If he hadn't met Qinglin, he wouldn't even know what the Green Snake's Three-Flower Pupil looked like.

You ask him what he can ask...

"But judging by the performance of the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils, that soul might be intercepted on the spot, and it might not even be able to complete the secret technique."

After searching the collection in vain, Yao Lao could only reply based on his own feelings: "The best case scenario is that the two can complement each other and tap her potential to the limit." The Green Snake's Three Flower Pupils obviously have certain requirements for the spirit.

Whether it was the illusion that Qinglin released unintentionally, or the light seal she cast when subduing the monster, they gradually became stronger as her strength improved.

"If these innate physiques can be graded, then this three-flower pupil is definitely at the eighth level or even higher, and even Dou Zong-level monsters cannot effectively resist it."

Yao Lao was still looking forward to Qing Lin's future achievements: "This girl...maybe she can meet your requirement of becoming a six-star Dou Sheng in twenty years."

Although the evil poison body has the method of poison pills to reduce the side effects, it still cannot escape the vicious circle of energy accumulation. If there is no help from the opportunity, it would be a light punishment for Dou Zun Jiuzhuan to stop Xiao Yixiang for twenty years.

On the other hand, Qing Lin’s strength increases as his ability to extract the Three Flower Pupils increases. He can just skip classes if he reaches the Ninth Transformation of Dou Zun.

Qinglin gets one point first.

"You are so lucky, you have such a genius as your maid... I just wonder if she will have other thoughts when she grows up?"

Yao Lao stroked his beard gloomily.

It has to be said that Xiao Yan's luck really made him jealous. All kinds of good things could happen to him.

"In that case, let's give it a try."

Xiao Yan pressed Qing Lin's head: "As for the goal of the secret method... just follow this girl's idea."

"This? Okay..."

The Great Elder couldn't help but sigh, as if he had already seen the tragedy happen.

There are many arrogant people in the Snake People who have been turned into fools by their souls. However, no secret method involving the soul can guarantee safety.

……

"Bang bang!"

Several strands of fighting spirit condensed into snake shapes exploded and blew down the magical beasts that were entangled and hanging upside down on the dome.

The Great Elder condensed a cage to trap it: "This third-level monster is good at hiding. If it can be used as a companion soul, it may be able to master the fighting skills of concealing its breath."

"No."

Qinglin opened her three-flower pupil and took a glance. Although her current strength was too low to accurately judge his realm, the three-flower pupil had the ability to make similar evaluations.

She only took one look and knew that this snake was a piece of crap that could be easily manipulated and was far from meeting her expectations.

"Girl, this is already the sixth one. Why don't you try it first before making a judgment?"

The Great Elder was a little annoyed. She had tried to persuade Qing Lin in every way possible along the way, but she had never expected Qing Lin to be so stubborn. He just kept saying "no".

You don't want this or that, do you really want to go straight to the sixth level?
"All right…"

Qing Lin glanced at Xiao Yan and found that he was actually a little hesitant, so he immediately responded in a huff.

I thought the young master would always trust her, but I didn't expect that he would be wrong in the end...

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Xiao Yan could only judge that the Three Flower Pupils could protect Qing Lin from life-threatening danger, but whether the other soul could survive safely was another matter.

However, unlike what the Great Elder was worried about, what he cared about was whether Sanhuatong would compete with Mifa for the soul.

"Don't let the well-maintained companion soul feed Sanhua Tong."

Considering the fusion of the two souls, this can be considered as another form of self-eating.

"Little girl, let's test whether they match first."

The great elder took out a fang passed down from generation to generation, stained it with the blood of the demon beast, and presented it to Qing Lin: "Use the method I taught you before to circulate your fighting spirit. As long as you can adapt, you can successfully summon the snake spirit..."

Before she could finish her words, a translucent little snake flew out from the monster's body and swam around Qing Lin. Even Xiao Yan could feel its excitement.

"what's next?"

Qinglin held the fang and tilted his head.

"Uh...ah? Oh..."

The great elder woke up from his daze and spoke haltingly, his eyes constantly glancing at the snake spirit: "The next step is to put some blood on its head. As long as we can successfully carve a mark, it will prove that we can successfully subdue it."

It shouldn’t be!

Aren't the summoned snake spirits full of hostility and need to be subdued? How could this be...

Snapped.

Qinglin bit her fingertips and pressed upwards. The snake spirit did not dodge or evade, and even actively cooperated with her energy to erode itself.

The imprint of its essence and blood instantly spread throughout its body inside and out.

"..."

The Great Elder's lips moved but he could not utter even a complete word. Xiao Yan, who was standing nearby, could only vaguely hear some half-understood words like "The ancestor deceived me".

"Now I can finally prove my strength, right?" Qing Lin put his hands on his hips and looked at her with some pride.

“Yes, yes…”

The Great Elder nodded hesitantly: "Let's go find a higher level one. This snake is really not worthy of the girl."

Then she wandered ahead like a lost soul, leading the way, obviously frightened by the scene just now.

"Qinglin, how did you do that just now?"

Xiao Yan, who was a few steps behind, was a little curious.
"It's nothing~"

Qing Lin glanced at the Great Elder's back and shared a secret in a low voice: "I just used my eyes to subdue the monster before the test. After all, the Three Flower Pupils act directly on the soul, so the summoned snake spirit will directly recognize me as its master."

Can you still play like this?
Xiao Yan's brows twitched. It seemed like Qing Lin had opened up his Ren and Du meridians recently, and the uses of his eyes were developing more and more.

"But is that old lady hiding something from us?" Qinglin's voice lowered a few notches.

"Oh?"

"look…"

Qinglin tapped his temple, and suddenly a deep blue light radiated from his eyes, outlining an illusory picture in front of him. This was exactly the skill that the invisible giant snake had used before.

The slowly digested energy accumulated in her eyes, which gave her this semi-permanent special ability.

The blue projection shows the path that we have walked before. There are many places that seem to be deliberately bypassed instead of walking in a straight line.
