The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Upon entering the near-cemetery city, we first found a shop to replenish our water supply. During our hurried journey, we needed to eat and drink frequently, and our reserves of clean water and food were almost exhausted.

After replenishing his water and food supplies, Xiao Xuanyuan found an inn and took a good shower first. He had been traveling in the desert for the past few days, and his mind was always on edge, having to be aware of all kinds of dangers at all times. Moreover, he hadn't been able to take a bath for several days, which made Xiao Xuanyuan, who was quite clean, even more uncomfortable!

Now that we've arrived near the cemetery, we naturally need to make some good arrangements.

It can be said that once you reach the city near the tomb, and then travel about ten miles north, you will be in the no-man's-land of the Gama Empire. That area is close to the territory of the snake people. Humans and snake people have always been at odds and are in a rather unfriendly state. If you encounter snake people outside the desert, you will surely fight to the death.

Therefore, those who dare to venture deeper and get closer are usually in groups, which greatly increases their safety. Otherwise, if they encounter a large group of snake people, they won't even be able to escape.

After a day of rest and recuperation, Xiao Xuanyuan took another stroll around the city, replenished his supplies, and bought a detailed map of the surrounding area.

Queen Medusa is the queen of the Serpent People, residing in their sacred city. Surrounding the city are the eight major Serpent People tribes; to enter the city, one must pass through these tribes. However, the Serpent People's city is heavily guarded; any human discovered infiltrating is brutally murdered.

Through his inquiries within the city, Xiao Xuanyuan obtained extremely detailed information about the Snake-People. Of course, there are always exceptions. Even though humans and Snake-People are extremely hostile to each other, they still occasionally engage in trade. Once a month on the 15th, humans can travel to certain designated open cities of the Snake-People to conduct business.

Conversely, the rotation shifted to certain cities for the Serpent People to travel between and to the Humans in the following month. This greatly promoted exchanges between the two races. However, a blood feud is a blood feud, and even so, there were still occasional clashes between the two races. On the surface, they maintained a relatively peaceful relationship, but most of the fighting took place in secret.

Coincidentally, tomorrow is the day when humans can travel to the Snake-People's territory for trade. On this day, if humans arrive at a specific city designated by the Snake-People, the Snake-People will not attack them. Instead, they will open their doors to protect the arriving human traders from any attacks by their own race.

After learning this news, Xiao Xuanyuan decided not to rush into the territory of the Snake-People. According to his memory, the Strange Fire was incompatible with Queen Medusa's own attributes and would not merge with her. She had only obtained the Strange Fire this time to use it for adventurous cultivation in order to advance to a higher form.

Therefore, Xiao Xuanyuan was not in a hurry.

The next morning, Xiao Xuanyuan got up early, washed up, and followed the large human group out of the city, heading north and gradually deeper into the territory, towards Meisha City, a city of snake people under the jurisdiction of the Meishe tribe. This was a city that opened for trade between humans and snake people every two months.

After a journey of just over two hours, a colossal city rose abruptly from the horizon. This was a city unlike any other of the human cities, larger than even the near-grave city, with walls exceeding its height. At regular intervals along the walls, tall spires rose, each with windows opening up to its apex. Within each window stood a serpent-human soldier, armed with sharp weapons, standing guard.

Some humans who had been to the city of the Serpent People were already used to seeing the guards, but many newcomers couldn't help but sigh.

He looked up and scanned the surrounding area a few times, slightly amazed by the snake people's tight security, while also getting a clearer picture of their troop deployment, which gave him a better understanding of the situation.

As the bustling crowd surged into the wide-open city gates of Meisha, the snake-people soldiers guarding the gates stood on both sides, barely glancing at the city, seemingly accustomed to the situation.

Seeing that there were no problems, Xiao Xuanyuan felt slightly relieved.

The area covered by Meisha City is quite large. Even though it has been opened to humans, it is only a specific small area within the city that is open. Here, humans can set up stalls and barter with the snake people. However, in recent years, as the exchanges between the two races have become more frequent, the number of people from each race traveling between the two cities has increased. Therefore, the open area has had to be expanded considerably.

After entering the city gate, Xiao Xuanyuan followed most of the people to the commercial area where humans were allowed to set up stalls. Then he curiously looked around the city and began to observe it.

Chapter 124 Infiltration

From the outside, this city of Enchanted Sands looked like a colossal beast lying on the boundless desert. But once inside, Xiao Xuanyuan realized that its scale was truly enormous. Not to mention the area designated for humans to trade, it was nearly half the size of the Tomb City.

Although the closer ties and trade between humans and snake-people in recent years have diminished their hostility and hatred, the snake-people are far from opening up more territory for human activity. They remain extremely wary of humans and have not fully trusted them. After all, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions; this applies to both humans and snake-people.

Even so, the Serpent People were quite welcoming to the humans who came to Meisha City. The rules were slightly relaxed, allowing the humans to buy and sell and stroll around in some of the Serpent People's open shops and trade areas. Of course, if they wanted to sell, they had to negotiate with the Serpent People's merchants first, and then the Serpent People's merchants would personally come to the trade area where the humans were located to make the purchase.

Therefore, Xiao Xuanyuan was able to wander around some of the areas opened up by the Snake People. He was quite curious about what items the Snake People merchants would sell.

After wandering around for a while, he discovered that the snake people were similar to the human people, both selling necessities for survival. However, the items sold by the snake people had their own unique characteristics, or were quite scarce for the human people. In turn, most of the items traded by the human people were also scarce for the snake people.

The two tribes each got what they needed, traded and complemented each other, and thus lived in relative peace.

After touring the open area restricted to the Snake-People, and having purchased some items unique to the Snake-People, Xiao Xuanyuan was quite satisfied; the trip had not been in vain.

However, that wasn't all he wanted...

Having reached the edge of the open area, Xiao Xuanyuan wanted to go further out, curious about what the area the Snake-People had forbidden humans to enter was like. However, some of the sharp-eyed Snake-People soldiers guarding the perimeter had already noticed his movements, and two Snake-People soldiers walked towards him.

Seeing the snake-people soldiers' actions, Xiao Xuanyuan warily glanced at the other snake-people soldiers guarding the area who seemed to have noticed him. His brow twitched, and he quickly retreated towards the open area to keep his distance, lest these snake-people soldiers attack him together. If they fabricated a charge against him for disrupting the rules or something, he would be unjustly killed.

Xiao Xuanyuan's idea was that if he were to sneak in, he would have to do it secretly and discreetly.

At the same time, he also had some doubts. With such tight security, he wondered if he would be discovered when he sneaked in.

Xiao Xuanyuan remembered that Gu He, the top alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire, also seemed to covet the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. This was evident from the appearance of Yun Yun and four Dou Wang-level experts outside Stone Desert City. Besides him, who else in the Jia Ma Empire's top alchemist had the power and influence to mobilize so many powerful figures? Moreover, Yun Yun had also outlined Gu He's terms of exchange during the attempted peaceful negotiations for the acquisition, further confirming the connection.

Guhe, where are you? If you were to cause trouble and force your way into the snake-people's tribe, I could take advantage of the chaos... Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan leave, the snake-people who came over did not make things difficult for him and turned back to their guard posts.

Back in his normal activity area, Xiao Xuanyuan was quite unsettled. He kept glancing at the sky, hoping for a chance to take advantage of the chaos... However, he had also made backup plans. He discussed it with Yao Lao, and they decided that no matter what, they would infiltrate the Enchanting Serpent Tribe tonight and head towards the Serpent People's Holy City.

Now, he has refined the Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, half a Dragon-Phoenix Flame, and a low-level purple flame obtained by absorbing the accompanying purple crystal source. With the help of these flames, the Burning Technique has evolved into a high-level Xuan-rank technique, and the strength, resilience, and storage capacity of his battle qi have been greatly enhanced.

After these days of training and battles, he estimated that even against a powerful Grand Dou Master, he would have the strength to fight back, or even kill him. Rob, a three-star Grand Dou Master, was a living example.

In the battle with Rob, Xiao Xuanyuan had not yet used his trump card. If he were to unleash the "Demon's Fury Kill," which he had recently mastered and tested, his opponent would probably be reduced to ashes!

Although it is known that no one in history has ever tried this before, and Xiao Yan, who may have had the opportunity to try, no longer has that chance, after the appearance of the butterfly that traveled through time with him, it gently flapped its wings a few times, which will not only affect Xiao Yan, but may even completely change the pattern of the entire Dou Qi Continent, or even the pattern and future of the Great Thousand World...

The effects of his butterfly effect are far from minor and simple.

Now that Xiao Yan's two older brothers are dead, while in the Blood Sun Mercenary Group in the desert, after arranging the funerals of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, Xiao Xuanyuan wrote a letter and sent it back to the Xiao family in Wutan City by flying bird, so that his father, family and clansmen would know.

Of course, he also mentioned the matter of the Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group and made arrangements so that the family would no longer need to send anyone to manage it.

Whenever he thought of this, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but sigh. He had thought that with the strength of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, if they joined forces, they could suppress Luo Bu, who was at the level of a Great Dou Master. However, he did not expect that the two of them were really all show and no substance. By then, it was too late for him to come to their rescue, and the two of them could only die at the hands of the enemy.

"I don't know what the people in the family think yet..." Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head slightly.

The daytime trading hours for humans in Meisha City had long since ended. Under the Snake-People's ban, human groups gradually left Meisha City. Xiao Xuanyuan seized an opportunity to secretly infiltrate, evading all inspections and patrols by the Snake-People soldiers.

As darkness completely enveloped the land and the desert temperature plummeted, he was probably the only human left in the city of Meisha, having secretly hidden himself there.

Even with one and a half different flames, Xiao Xuanyuan still felt it wasn't enough. If the Burning Technique wanted to evolve into a higher-level technique, it had to devour and refine different flames; otherwise, it couldn't advance. And the level of a technique often played an indispensable role in determining a person's strength.

Therefore, in order to advance the Burning Technique, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame must be obtained.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. This extremely dangerous operation has begun, its objective: the Azure Lotus Core Flame!

Chapter 125 The King of Fighting's Arrow

Concealing his presence, Xiao Xuanyuan quickly evaded a patrol of snake-people soldiers and moved closer to the central area of ​​Meisha City, an area restricted to humans during the day.

It must be said that the Snake People's city-building ability is really strong! This is just a city, but they have built it like a super castle. The city walls are surrounded by towering spires that protect the sentry posts. In the center of the city, there are patrols from time to time. With such a high level of security, the human city is much inferior.

"Kid, there are flying magical beasts in the sky, be careful."

In the darkness, Xiao Xuanyuan moved with ghostly speed, and at that moment, Yao Lao gave him a timely reminder.

"understood."

In the darkness, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly, slowing down his movement.

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan arrived at a certain place and concealed his aura, a sharp sound pierced through the clouds in the sky.

"Enemy activity!"

"We've been exposed!"

Xiao Xuanyuan's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to unfold his Purple Cloud Wings and take flight to force his way in, the distant city suddenly lit up, illuminating the night.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan felt slightly relieved and quickly concealed his aura, hiding nearby. With Yao Lao's strength as cover, it would be difficult for ordinary experts to discover his location.

Sure enough, shouts of battle shook the heavens from afar. A moment later, a deafening roar came from the southwest of Meisha City, and more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared in the night sky, quickly flying away into the distance.

Startled by this sudden scene, Xiao Xuanyuan activated his Heavenly Punishment Eye to investigate. Upon seeing one of the figures, his pupils constricted slightly, and he murmured, "She's here too!"

After only a slight pause, Xiao Xuanyuan did not hesitate any longer. He spread his Purple Cloud Wings, used all his speed and agility to soar into the sky, following the path of the group of people.

"There's another one here, stop him quickly!"

An angry shouts immediately rang out from all around, flames lit up, and long, sharp spears shot into the sky, chasing after Xiao Xuanyuan who was heading into the distance.

"Xiao Sha!"

A black veil materialized from behind her at just the right moment. Her face was filled with anger as she shouted, "How dare you harm my brother Xuanyuan! You are unforgivable!" With a gentle wave of her hand, the spears and swords that had been shot at her were all incinerated into nothingness.

She gently grabbed down with her palm, and ten thousand sharp arrows, transformed from black flames, whizzed back along their original path, like a rain of black fire arrows, leaving a trail of shrill screams in their wake.

shhhhhh!

Arrows formed from streaks of black flame pierced the sky and rained down, engulfing the snake-people soldiers. Amidst their agonizing screams, they were instantly incinerated into ashes. The stronger ones could only resist for a little longer.

Among them, one figure caught Xiao Xuanyuan's attention. Turning his head, he scanned the area and saw a faint blue light swirling in his dark eyes. The distance between them seemed to have been shortened to close: on the tall city wall, a charming and graceful figure was holding a bow and arrow, aiming it, about to shoot.

Just now, the dozens of black flame arrows that Xiao Sha conjured were completely neutralized in mid-air before the woman could even get close.

The explosions roared loudly!

Yue Mei, the leader of the Enchanting Serpent Tribe among the eight major tribes of the Serpent Clan, is over a hundred years old, possesses a cultivation level of five-star Dou Wang, and ranks among the strongest...

In the blink of an eye, every detail about the other party was imprinted into Xiao Xuanyuan's mind. But before he could digest all this information, a piercing, shrill whistle came from behind. A cold light, like a shooting star chasing the moon, approached with extreme speed and was about to catch up with Xiao Xuanyuan.

Black Veil had already noticed this special and extremely powerful woman. Seeing the woman enraged and nock an arrow, she angrily shouted, "You want to hurt my dear Brother Xuanyuan? No way!"

As she spoke, she completely broke free from behind Xiao Xuanyuan, floating in the air. Suddenly, a thousand feet of black flames burst forth from her graceful and slender body. She stretched out her jade hands and clenched them in front of her. Instantly, the arrow that had shot through the air with great power appeared in her tightly clenched jade hands.

Clang!

The arrow came swiftly, and the moment it caught her, the black flames that were swirling around the black veil were blown up as if by a strong wind. Her figure swayed and changed, her face became blurred, and she was almost completely destroyed by the impact.

The arrow emitted a sharp whistling sound, while black flames continuously coiled around the black-veiled jade palm, burning away the powerful energy and unstoppable momentum released from it. However, although the black flames of the black veil were strong, they could not withstand the fierce momentum of the opponent. In just one breath, the arrow, which had been weakened and dimmed considerably, broke free from the black veil's hands and continued to pierce through her flame-formed body, rushing towards Xiao Xuanyuan behind her.

"Good! I've been waiting for you for a long time. This damned woman, she actually stabbed me in the back. When I get the chance, I'll make you wish you were dead, wishing you were alive but unable to die..."

Several ideas flashed through Xiao Xuanyuan's mind, but his hands never stopped. He skillfully unleashed the Ancient Reincarnation Technique, and two balls of light, one black and one white, swirled around his palms before he suddenly struck out, facing the sharp arrow that was hurtling towards him.

chi chi...

The arrow, still carrying considerable force, released powerful energy, instantly striking the Tai Chi Yin-Yang disc formed by the fusion of black and white flames in Xiao Xuanyuan's palm, embedding it right in the center!

Xiao Xuanyuan frantically channeled his battle qi energy, and the Taiji Yin Yang Disc released an extremely strong and dazzling light, which was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, illuminating all directions like a blazing sun.

boom!

After several breaths of confrontation, the energy and momentum carried by the arrow were completely released. The Tai Chi Yin Yang Disc spun in one rotation, forcibly crushing the arrow into pieces, which scattered as specks of silver light. At the same time, the Tai Chi Yin Yang Disc shattered with a "pop," and an unparalleled force pushed Xiao Xuanyuan more than ten feet away before he was able to stabilize himself. His internal energy was in disarray, and his internal organs were in turmoil!

"What a powerful arrow!"

Xiao Xuanyuan murmured, his eyes flashing, and the black veil returned to its original form of black flames, returning entirely to his body.

"Let's go!"

Upon seeing Hei Sha return, Xiao Xuanyuan turned around without hesitation, immediately unfurled his Purple Cloud Wings, and soared towards the distant horizon. This woman named Yue Mei was far too powerful; it was best not to confront her head-on and to flee first.
