Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

The man in black robe glanced down calmly and then looked away.

"Master Yun, have you discovered anything?" The speaker was a middle-aged man in a blue shirt. He was the leader of this group, Gu He, who was known as the King of Dan in the Gama Empire.

“No.” Yun Yun shook her head slightly and said calmly, “We can only see that one of them is the snake people, but not the others. We are a step too late.”

Gu He said nothing for a moment, and after a slight feeling, he said, "Let's go, let's continue our journey, these things are not important."

After saying that, the four of them flapped their wings and flew, turning into streams of light and disappearing into the sky.

"Send a message to your tribe that enemies are coming." Lu Yu patted Yue Mei under him and said, "Let's go too, and head straight to your holy city."

"..."

Yue Mei cursed in her heart, Gu He, the King of Alchemy, plus the strange fire that Lu Yu had mentioned before, it was obvious that Lu Yu was against them.

But Yue Mei did not dare to object. Her wings of fighting spirit trembled slightly, and she suddenly flew up from the sand pit, carrying Lu Yu and turning into a swift stream of light, flying towards the direction of the snake people.

Chapter 48 Gifts from Nature

In the night sky, Yue Mei flapped her wings and flew wildly. She had already sent a message to the tribe to be prepared, but... not to mention that she was not there, even if she was, it would be useless against an enemy of that level.

Lu Yu sat on Yue Mei's waist, with strong wind whistling around him and the world below was rapidly retreating. Yue Mei's speed was not bad. She was good at wind-attributed fighting spirit and was extremely fast and had no scruples.

Flying so blatantly, the air defense of the snakeman city below had already discovered it, but when they saw it was a long snakeman tail, they immediately stopped attacking.

This is the advantage of Lu Yu capturing Yue Mei. Not only can he fly without worrying about anything, but no one will attack or stop him.

"Sir, my fighting spirit is almost exhausted." Yue Mei shouted.

"Here!" Lu Yu snapped his fingers and a pill flew out, deftly slipping into Yue Mei's mouth.

It consumes 2 pills per kilometers, which is quite energy-efficient. The only drawback is that the passenger capacity is relatively small. Of course, he is the only passenger, so this drawback can be ignored.

Yue Mei: "..."

You are the means of transportation!

I am as beautiful as a flower and so capable, but you have blinded my eyes.

Lu Yu ignored Yue Mei's expression, touched his chin and thought. With his own speed, he would definitely be faster than Gu He and his group. With Yue Mei as his guide, there shouldn't be any problem.

But don't forget that there are many masters within the Snake People, including four former Medusas at the peak level of Dou Huang, plus the commander-in-chief who is not in the tribe and the current Medusa, adding up to a total of six people at the peak level of Dou Huang.

We still have to be careful. If not for this, Lu Yu would have brought Qing Lin over directly and glared at him. All eight commanders would have been defeated and it would not have been a problem to single-handedly defeat the entire snake tribe.

"After all... it's still because of lack of strength..." Lu Yu sighed and clapped his hands, signaling Yue Mei to hurry up.

“%…………&￥%#)——)*%……&”

Yue Mei cursed in her heart, but she could only swing her tail and her speed increased again.

……

Half an hour later, the holy city of the snake people!

In a corner somewhere, Lu Yu and Yue Mei quietly reached the corner of the temple in the center of the holy city.

With Yue Mei's presence, Lu Yu perfectly avoided the patrols of the guards, the smell detection of snakes, the restrictions of the formation... He didn't need to use the last one. Lu Yu didn't take the formation of the snake people seriously, but it was good enough not to take action.

Lu Yu was somewhat surprised as he watched along the way. Although the snake people's defense was average, their detection methods were really powerful, especially their methods of controlling snakes for detection. If it weren't for Yue Mei, he really wouldn't have been able to sneak in.

"It seems that Gu He and the others haven't arrived yet..." Yue Mei nodded as she looked at the orderly Holy City, although all the alert forces had been released and entered a state of combat readiness.

But this was caused by his own communication. The enemy had not yet arrived and the battle had not yet begun.

"This is the temple..." Lu Yu leaned forward slightly and sighed softly at the towering temple.

The holy city of the snake people is a city built around a mountain, and in the center of the city is a mountain, and the temple is built on the mountain.

"I'll take you in..." Yue Mei whispered, "Remember your words, only the strange fire, and don't harm Her Majesty the Queen."

Yue Mei had a serious look on her face. She didn't believe Lu Yu, but she couldn't think of anything about the Snake People that was worthy of a sixth-grade alchemist's attention. Coupled with the appearance of Gu He and his group, Yue Mei had no choice but to believe it to 80%.

Moreover, this guy also told Yue Mei about the queen's idea of ​​taking the strange fire. After hearing this, she completely believed Lu Yu.

Lu Yu curled his lips and said, "If the strange fire hadn't been taken away, I wouldn't have come here!"

The guide Yue Mei led Lu Yu in twists and turns, and knocked out many alert snakes along the way.

Because of the state of war readiness, a large part of the power in the temple has been sent out, which gives Yue Mei great convenience.

"You seem to be very familiar with this place..." Lu Yu asked in surprise.

"The temple was built by the eight tribes together." Yue Mei whispered, "I also have a palace here."

"I was right about you!" Lu Yu curled his lips, feeling very happy.

Yue Mei's face darkened. Was he praising me or himself?

At this moment, two powerful auras came together from afar.

Yue Mei's expression changed slightly, and she whispered, "It's Mobas, Yanci and the others..."

"Mobas, Yanci..." Lu Yu's eyes flashed slightly. He remembered that these two leaders of the eight tribes of the snake people had appeared on the scene, but they were just tools.

"Her Majesty the Queen really intended to do that, but she hasn't shown up yet..." Yue Mei murmured. Evolving with the help of strange fire is a decision that involves gambling with one's life!

"With me protecting her, she can at least keep her soul." Lu Yu chuckled.

This is why Yue Mei was so obedient. Lu Yu told Yue Mei about Medusa's thoughts and promised to help Medusa at the critical moment to save her soul.

Anyway, Medusa will succeed in the end. She will be generous to others and get something for nothing. Lu Yu will not suffer any loss.

After witnessing Lu Yu's spiritual attainments, Yue Mei still believed it. If it weren't for this... hehe!

Lu Yu controlled her soul, but could not change her will. Yue Mei had plenty of ways to contact and notify the snake people, and also had ways to deal with Lu Yu. Even if she could not kill him, she could at least make sure both sides suffered losses.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is more like business partners who are forced to trade than master and servant.

As for the soul fire seal... Yue Mei wants to keep it, but Lu Yu doesn't want to. I want to become the Dou Emperor, how can I be attached to a small snake leader? If I want to enslave someone, I have to enslave him at least to the Medusa level.

After clearly expressing her disdain, Yue Mei agreed to this deal with a dark face and gritted teeth.

Not long after Mobas and the other two appeared, several powerful auras burst out from afar.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang throughout the entire snakeman holy city, countless snakeman soldiers climbed onto the walls, and an aura of Dou Wang level rushed out from the temple.

"Human, you have trespassed into our territory without permission. Aren't you looking down on us?" An angry voice suddenly exploded, and the aura of the three Dou Wangs soared into the sky.

“Hahaha, I guess you are Mobas, the leader of the Black Snake Tribe?” A clear voice followed: “My name is Gu He, nice to meet you, leader.”

"The Dan King Gu He of the Gama Empire? This name is well-known!" Mobas replied with a sneer, but he was a little shocked in his heart. Although he had a bad temper, he was not a fool.

The sixth-rank alchemist is definitely a top-notch figure in the surrounding countries, and everyone has to give him some face.

"Gu He, what are you trying to do by trespassing into the holy city of the snake people?" A cold female voice followed immediately. The tone was very aggressive, not giving any face at all, and it seemed like she wanted to kill Gu He.

"She is the leader of the temple, Huashe." Yue Mei said to Lu Yu while dealing with the restrictions: "She is only responsible to Her Majesty the Queen, and she has the same attitude towards us."

"Let's go, lead the way." Lu Yu said, he was not interested in these.

However, when he turned his eyes, he saw a huge warehouse in front of him, which was filled with various medicinal herbs and scrolls of martial arts.

"This, this..." Lu Yu was shocked and overjoyed. Could it be a gift from nature?

Chapter 49 Medusa's Gaze

"Great!" Lu Yu exclaimed and stepped in.

"Hey, we're leaving here for convenience, not for you to get things!" Yue Mei said hurriedly. If Lu Yu packed up everything here, she would be in big trouble.

"I know, I know..." Lu Yu agreed casually, but his eyes were still lingering on the things on both sides.

Yue Mei's face trembled, and she suddenly regretted taking this path. Perhaps taking a different path would be better.

"Huh? Sand Mandragora?" Lu Yu stopped in front of some medicinal herbs. It was a box of dried Sand Mandragora, with a total of five herbs.

This deal was included in the transaction with Hai Bodong. Hai Bodong helped Lu Yu find the strange fire, and Lu Yu helped him find the Sand Mandala.

"Thanks for the gift from nature!" Lu Yu sighed and put it into his ring without hesitation.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Yue Mei was furious and glared at Lu Yu's shameless behavior. These were clearly things from the temple's treasury, but he actually called them gifts from nature!

"I won't do it again next time, I promise!" Lu Yu said solemnly, "Let's go quickly, it will be troublesome if we are late."

"Go!" Yue Mei said angrily.

At this moment, Medusa's aura burst out from the temple and appeared above the holy city, facing Koga and his group.

"Her Majesty the Queen has appeared!" Yue Mei was overjoyed. Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen has given up the idea of ​​using strange fire to evolve?

"Don't even think about it. It's impossible." Lu Yu poured a basin of cold water over her. "That's her energy body. Her real body is still in the temple... Huh?"

Lu Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Is this the special fighting skill of your snake people?"

Yue Mei's face changed, her body stiffened, and she immediately grabbed Lu Yu's hand and hurried away:

"No, no, don't ask, hurry up and find the strange fire. Pass through the treasure house and you will arrive at Her Majesty the Queen's Bamboo Garden!"

"Wait first!"

When he reached a platform, Lu Yu stopped. On the platform was a gray-white scroll, but it emitted a strange soul fluctuation.

"What is this?" Lu Yu rubbed his hands and asked with a chuckle.

"Medusa's Gaze, an intermediate earth-level fighting skill... Damn it, you can't touch it!" Yue Mei hurriedly stopped Lu Yu, but Lu Yu had already grabbed it in his hand.

"Let's make an exchange." Lu Yu snapped his fingers and a jade bottle fell on the stone platform.

Yue Mei took a quick glance and began to feel conflicted and hesitant. It was a sixth-grade imperial pill. For a race like the Snake People who were naturally unable to produce alchemists, each pill was extremely precious.

But this fighting scroll... can still be made, no problem!

"Great!" Lu Yu smiled, this trip to the snake tribe was not in vain.

"Go away, don't look at it anymore!"

Due to Lu Yu’s just bad behavior, Yue Mei didn’t dare to slow down any more and dragged Lu Yu quickly through the treasure house.

A small lake appeared in sight. There was an island in the center of the lake. In the center of the island grew a bamboo forest, and Queen Medusa was in it.

……

Outside the temple, the three fighting kings of the snake people and Medusa in the air faced Gu He and his four companions.

Logically speaking, the Snake People are extremely powerful. On the surface, they have 8 Dou Kings and 1 Dou Emperor, who is also a peak Dou Emperor. It is impossible for Gu He's side, with 2 Dou Kings and 2 Dou Emperors, to escape unscathed.

That’s right, there are two Dou Huangs. In addition to Yun Yun, Gu He is also a Dou Huang.

Although he is called the Pill King, he is a sixth-rank alchemist, and his Dou Qi cultivation is also at the sixth-rank Dou Huang, not the Dou Wang as originally thought.

Soul cultivation is extremely difficult. Apart from Xiao Yan, who is a cheater, there are not many people who can reach the level of a sixth-grade alchemist when they are at the level of Dou Wang.

The same is true for Gu He. He is a Dou Huang, but he is not good at fighting. His fighting ability can barely compete with the peak Dou Wang.

Therefore, even though the six peak Douhuangs of the Snake People seem very strong, in fact, the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, the Yun Lan Sect, and the Alchemist Guild have at least five Douhuang-level figures combined. Add in the major families across the country, and there are more than ten to twenty Douwang-level figures.

The Snake People can take down the Gama Empire, but they will also lose several teeth. By then, Mulan, Luoyan, and Izumo Empires will swarm in and share the spoils, and the Snake People will be gone!

This is why the four countries and five parties are relatively balanced. No one wants to be swallowed up, so they can only endure the disgust and keep each other. They are disgusted with each other, but there is nothing they can do.

The reason why Medusa was determined to evolve at the cost of her life was to break this balance and lead the snake people out of the desert. The climate here is hot, the resources are poor, and supplies are scarce. It is not a suitable place to survive.

If possible, who would want to stay in this desert with no one around and eat the wind and sand? Who wouldn't want green mountains, clear waters and black soil, to catch roe deer with a stick and fish with a ladle?

However, having said that, the purpose of Gu He and his three companions coming here was not to fight, but to exchange. In addition, given their identities as sixth-grade alchemists, the Snake People would not force them to stay even if they did not want to exchange. So in Gu He's view, getting out safely was not a problem.

But they had no idea of ​​Medusa's purpose in obtaining the strange fire, so the deal could not succeed.

Looking at the beautiful figure standing proudly in the air, Gu He's face flashed with a trace of pain, and he bowed and said:

"I am willing to exchange two sixth-grade Douling Pills and one seventh-grade Huaxing Pill for the strange fire. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three Dou Wang-level snakemen suddenly lit up. The Dou Ling Pill was a pill that could allow a Dou King to upgrade one star level without any injury or pain. It could save a lot of hard training!

The snake people have no natural alchemists and their relationship with the surrounding humans is not good. Pills are an absolute luxury.

Among the eight leaders, only one or two high-level Dou Wang had eaten the Dou Ling Pill. Mobas, Huashe and Yanci had never eaten it, and Yue Mei, who was now staying in the temple, had never eaten it either.

"Very tempting conditions..." Medusa raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and instantly her charm bloomed, making everyone present lose their minds for a moment.

However, Queen Medusa changed the subject and said calmly: "I refuse!"

"Why?" Gu He's face changed drastically and he asked hurriedly. He couldn't understand why Medusa didn't agree to such generous conditions. Was she crazy?
