Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 177 Failure to learn well at a young age

Hiding behind a tree, the huge trunk barely withstood the sweeping Dou Qi gale. Xiao Yan glanced at several figures rushing towards him from a distance, and his suspicions about the black-robed woman gradually dissipated.

What replaced it was an unprecedented solemnity and fear.

"This person is definitely not Ruoruo. This group of powerful individuals came to the desert together, there must be some unknown secret. They have something important to discuss with Queen Medusa. Could it be that their target is also the strange fire?!"

After figuring this out, Xiao Yan's mind began to spin rapidly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the gentle-looking middle-aged man in the lead.

"The people around them were gathering in his direction. It seems the leader must be this guy, right? With only Dou Wang-level cultivation, he's able to command so many powerful people to fight for him."

This person is definitely not just a Dou Wang.
After letting out a long breath, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Obtaining the strange fire was indeed more difficult than he had imagined. Queen Medusa alone was enough to scare him, and now there was a group of powerful men with terrifying strength. It seemed unlikely that the strange fire would fall into the hands of a mere fighting master like him.

Just the nineteenth-ranked Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire is already so difficult to obtain. How much did Ruoruo pay to help me obtain the sub-fire of the Void Devouring Flame?

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xiao Yan's gaze became indifferent. A hint of coldness flashed across his ink-black pupils as he quietly watched the scene not far away.

If you don't try, you will never have a chance to compete. The same goes for strange fire.

The waves gradually completely enveloped Yue Mei's body. The black-robed woman suddenly clenched her fists towards the air. In an instant, the waves that had been slowly forming a blockade suddenly burst out with an extremely terrifying force, shaking the ground of the oasis.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound like that of a torrent hitting a reef. When the waves dissipated, the originally charming snake woman was actually knocked unconscious by the blast and turned into a small snake as long as an arm.

"Uh" Seeing this, Gu He and others who rushed over looked at the black-robed woman's actions in great astonishment.

After spending some time together, they had gotten to know Elder Shuang's character a little better. He was usually calm and aloof, never showing off too much. So when did he show such a strong attitude?
"Is her strength almost as strong as Sect Master Yun's?" Yan Shi said embarrassedly, and couldn't help but nudge Gu He, who also had a dazed look on his face, with his elbow.

As a Dou Wang warrior of the Jia Ma Empire, he had some understanding of Yue Mei's strength, which was almost on par with his.

But under the command of Elder Shuang, Yue Mei couldn't even last a few rounds. Even an ordinary one-star Douhuang powerhouse could not do this!
Gu He, having regained his composure, twitched his lips and said helplessly, "Elder Shuang is indeed a hidden talent. However, Queen Medusa is at the peak of Dou Huang cultivation. If she acts so impulsively right now, she might just cause some unnecessary trouble."

Picking up the limp python on the ground, and crumpling up the water-soaked snakeman's clothes in her hands, the black-robed woman casually said towards the nearby woods, "Little guy, come and clean up the mess you've caused."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, who was originally tiptoeing to obtain information, froze, his expression changed, and finally he rolled his eyes helplessly and walked out of the woods with his head hung.

Is there anyone else?!
Because they were too shocked before, everyone present actually ignored the existence of other people here. For a moment, several curious eyes, carrying hidden detection intentions, were cast on Xiao Yan.

Gu He, who possessed the strongest soul power, seemed to sense something and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Little brother, your soul power is not simple. Could it be that you are also an alchemist?"

"Haha, I guess so." Xiao Yan smiled and cupped his hands, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

The word "也" is enough to explain many problems.

This person was indeed an alchemist. Recalling what Yao Lao had said earlier, Xiao Yan had already formed a rough guess about this person's identity.

A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. Gu He was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by the black-robed woman in the distance.

"Oh? I was wondering how you, little fellow, managed to win the favor of that snake girl. Turns out you're an alchemist. For such a young alchemist, it's not unacceptable for her to take you as her male lover."

Xiao Yan was horrified, thinking to himself, Big sister, it’s okay that you were deceived by the snake girl before, but how come you can’t see through her provocative tactics even now? Don’t you just have strength but no brains?
Glancing at the expressions of the several Dou Wang masters around him, Xiao Yan felt as if struck by lightning when he saw the strange expressions on the faces of those normally calm masters. He gritted his teeth and said, "Seniors."

The admiration in Gu He's eyes had long since vanished, replaced by a rather serious expression: "Little brother, as an alchemist of my Jia Ma Empire, don't you know the blood feud between humans and the snake people?"

"No alchemist may serve the Serpent People. Otherwise, with their rapid growth, they will bring countless disasters to the Gama Empire. You are still young, so don't let the beauty of a Serpent Woman lead you astray."

".oh."

Xiao Yan felt hopeless and responded silently.

There was no way to explain it clearly, so he could say whatever he wanted. At the moment, he just wanted to break away from this group of people as soon as possible and wait for the opportunity to negotiate with Queen Medusa, and then take advantage of the opportunity to act.

One's strength is not enough to participate in such a battle. The only way to have a chance to compete for the strange fire is to actively seek opportunities.

Seeing Xiao Yan's obviously vulnerable posture, Gu He couldn't help but sigh with regret and said, "In any case, little brother, you'd better not stay here any longer. Tonight may not be peaceful. It's better to leave the desert as soon as possible."

Xiao Yan nodded with a sense of relief, then slowly walked forward, clasped his fists towards the black-robed woman, and said, "Thank you very much for saving my life, Senior. I am weak, so I will take my leave for now, okay?"

A black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes. Xiao Yan subconsciously took it, and then looked at the limp python in his arms, and a bad thought arose in his mind.

"This little guy has leaked the news. If we let him go like this, it's very likely that he will attract the attention of the snake people again. He is quite skilled and won't cause any trouble if he stays with us. Let's take him with us for now."

After saying that, a sly look flashed in the eyes of the black-robed woman. She pretended to be disgusted and threw the balled-up snakeman costume at Xiao Yan, adding lightly:
"It's a good time to negotiate, isn't it? This snake girl can't be killed anyway, so let this little guy take care of his old appearance."

"This"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan turned his neck stiffly and looked at the middle-aged man in the lead. Or rather, the Pill King Gu He.

Furukawa: "I have no objection."

Yan Shi: "You guys taking care of this snake girl really saves a lot of trouble, haha"

"."

Xiao Yan looked up at the sky, not knowing what to say.
