Looking at the small oasis located in the plain, Xiao Ling began to think: "It seems that the front is one of the eight tribes of the snake people. According to the direction, it should be the tribe led by Yue Mei. I don't know if the snake is taking a bath now. Let me understand the physical condition of the snake people."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling decided to investigate. The soul perception power between his eyebrows spread out and scanned the specific situation of the oasis.

What made Xiao Ling feel a little regretful was that, not only did he see Commander Yue Mei taking a bath, there wasn't even a snake girl there. It seemed that he had come at an inauspicious time and was not as lucky as Xiao Yan.

No longer thinking about these unimportant things, after a few minutes of flying, we passed the oasis and were not far from the red dot marked on the map.

This time, Xiao Ling plans to go directly to Queen Medusa to exchange for a Sand Mandragora. Otherwise, if he stays in the Tagor Desert to search, he may not know whether he can find one in ten days or half a month. Xiao Ling does not intend to waste time here. There is a little girl with green scales waiting for him to pick up in Shimo City, and there is a blue lotus core fire under the ground waiting for him to devour. He has a lot of things to do.

And with Zi Yan, Medusa's future good friend, negotiating with her, as long as he could offer a sincere enough price, getting a Sand Mandragora shouldn't be a problem.

Even if Queen Medusa wanted to attack him, with Rayquaza's speed faster than most Dou Zongs, it would be no problem for him to escape safely.

When I leave, I will capture a Dou Wang and exchange him for the Sand Mandala. I don't believe that Queen Medusa would be so cruel as to abandon her own people.

Not long after, in Xiao Ling's eyes, the vast desert looked like a golden ocean, and a tribe appeared in this ocean like a lone boat.

If it goes as expected, it should be the location of the Charming Snake Tribe. Putting the Split Sky Seat back into his sleeve, Xiao Ling took Zi Yan, spread his fighting wings, and flew towards the Charming Snake Tribe in front.

The two men drew two golden and purple rays of light in the air, and their momentum showed no sign of abating, which soon attracted the attention of the snakemen guards on the city wall.

"Battle Qi turns into wings, he is a Dou Wang strongman!"

"Why would a human Dou Wang strongman come to the snake tribe!"

"Be alert, be alert, a powerful human Dou Wang is about to attack the snake people."

"Hurry up and inform Commander Yue Mei, the opponent is too strong!"

The snake people on the city wall all acted quickly and raised their weapons, as if they would activate their weapons and launch a fierce attack as soon as Xiao Ling and Zi Yan entered the attack range.

Xiao Ling and the other person hovered in the air outside the tribal city gate. The snake people could not attack this area, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

After a brief commotion, the snake people calmed down. Seeing that the human strongman above had no intention of attacking, they did not attack rashly, but just looked at Xiao Ling with fear.

Xiao Ling was hovering in the air, his eyes fixed on the center of the city. Using his soul perception, he found an aura with a cultivation level of about Dou Wang Seven Stars. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Yue Mei, one of the eight commanders.

After a while, inside the tallest building in the tribe, a snake woman spread her fighting wings and flew quickly towards the city gate.

Chapter 56 Yue Mei

The snakeman woman flew to the top of the city wall and then hovered there, staring at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan with a solemn look. She said in a hostile tone, "What are you two human Dou Wang strongmen doing in the depths of the Tagor Desert? We, the snakeman tribe, do not welcome humans to come."

In Yuemei's perception, the cultivation level of the young man with blue hair and white robe was slightly weaker than hers, so he was not a concern. However, the little girl behind the young man had a much higher cultivation level than hers, and the pressure she felt was like facing a peak Dou Wang of the Snake Tribe. Moreover, when she looked at the little girl, she always felt a sense of fear in her heart, which made her feel very uncertain. If these two people came with bad intentions, the Mei Snake Tribe might be in big trouble today.

Seeing Yue Mei on the other side looking alert, Xiao Ling waved his hand, took out the elder token of Canaan College from his ring, and said calmly: "I am an elder from the Alchemy Department of Canaan College. Behind me is my companion Zi Yan, who is a transformed magic beast. We have no hostility towards the snake people. Commander Yue Mei must have misunderstood. I came here directly this time to do business with you snake people. Believe me, this will only benefit you and not harm you."

After hearing Xiao Ling's explanation, she recalled that before she arrived here, the two men had not attacked the snake people, and the two Dou Wang masters were not from the surrounding empires. The little girl was also a transformed monster. The faint sense of oppression showed that her blood must be extraordinary, so she had no hatred with the snake people. I heard before that Canaan College had a Dou Zong master in charge, so we must not offend them.

Although the Snake People are sworn enemies of humans, if they really hold a grudge against all humans on the Douqi Continent, how can they survive? You must know that although there are thousands of races on the Douqi Continent, humans are still the dominant race. If some strong human being can't stand the Snake People harming humans and is dissatisfied with the Snake People, and directly takes action to destroy the Snake People, it would be a huge disgrace.

Then the vigilant expression on her face dissipated a little, revealing a charming smile, and she said softly: "It turns out that you two are elders from Canaan College. You were so alert just now, and it was our Snake People who were impolite. Since you want to make a deal with our Snake People, then we can have a good talk. Follow me into the city and we will talk in detail." After she finished speaking, she twisted her graceful waist, flicked her snake tail, and flew towards a building in the city.

Seeing Yue Mei flew towards the city first, Xiao Ling had no intention of wasting time here, so he took Zi Yan and chased in the direction of Yue Mei. With a slight flap of his fighting spirit wings, the two of them quickly landed in front of an attic.

The snake people in the city, who had been somewhat worried just now, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was not the neighboring countries that came to attack. When these powerful men fought, the ones who would suffer would definitely be the civilians who had no ability to protect themselves.

Yue Mei, who arrived two days earlier, saw that Xiao Ling and Zi Yan had already caught up. She smiled politely at them and said to the snake people around her, "I will discuss something with the two distinguished guests here. You all stand guard outside. No one is allowed to come in without my permission. Those who disobey my order will be severely punished!"

The surrounding snakemen nodded in agreement, walked outside the attic and surrounded it tightly. It was unknown whether they were trying to prevent the discussion from being leaked, or to gather people so that they could provide timely reinforcements in case of a conflict between the two sides.

Xiao Ling didn't care about this situation at all. These great fighting masters and fighting spirits could not pose any threat to him and Zi Yan.

After Yue Mei finished making arrangements with those snake people, she smiled and said to Xiao Ling: "Please follow me, we'll talk inside." She pointed to a private room and walked in first.

Xiao Ling also held Zi Yan's hand and followed her into the box.

After seeing that both parties were seated, Yue Mei, the host of this place, spoke first: "You two came to the Snake Tribe this time. What kind of deal do you want to make with us? Why don't you tell us now?"

Xiao Ling did not keep the secret and said directly: "We came here this time to exchange a Sand Mandragora with the Snake People. I am short of this medicinal material for refining the elixir. I wonder if you can help me."

Zi Yan, who was sitting next to her, also said, "Sister Yue Mei, Xiao Ling is a sixth-rank alchemist. What he brings out will surely satisfy you, the Snake People."

Yue Mei, who was standing opposite, was somewhat surprised after hearing what the two said. Sand Mandragora has always been used to allow those gifted members of the Snake Tribe to fuse with snake beasts that are suitable for them. She does not have this kind of medicinal material at present. Only in the hands of Queen Medusa in the Holy City of the Snake Tribe, there are some stocks of Sand Mandragora. After hearing Zi Yan say that Xiao Ling was actually a sixth-grade alchemist, she looked at him carefully again, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She did not observe carefully just now, but now that she was close to him, she found that although this person was not short in height, his face was very young, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He could break through to Dou Wang at this age, and he was also a sixth-grade alchemist. After so many years, such a genius, let alone seeing it, she had never even heard of it. Fortunately, he was not cultivated by the surrounding imperial forces, otherwise the Snake Tribe would have another gifted enemy.

Yue Mei stared at Xiao Ling's face with complicated eyes for a while, then smiled and said softly: "I didn't expect that there was a sixth-grade alchemist in front of me. I was a little impolite just now. I hope Master Xiao Ling can forgive me. I didn't expect that Master Xiao Ling has reached the Dou Wang level at such a young age, and his attainments as an alchemist are also quite extraordinary."

After a slight pause, he spoke again: "But I am really sorry. Among the snake people, Sand Mandragora is also a very rare medicinal material. It is strictly controlled by the top leaders and is stored in the hands of Queen Medusa in the Holy City. The Charming Snake Tribe currently has no stock. I am afraid that Master Xiao Ling will return disappointed."

After listening to Yue Mei's explanation, Xiao Ling did not have much emotional fluctuation. After all, he had already anticipated such a situation, so he said, "Then please ask Commander Yue Mei to help us meet Queen Medusa and take us to the Serpent Tribe to make a deal. After the deal is done, I can give you the corresponding reward."

After thinking for a while, Yue Mei replied softly in an awkward tone, "Then I wonder what kind of reward Master Xiao Ling can use to impress me. The Queen and the elders don't like humans very much. If I bring two strange Dou Wang strongmen to the Holy City, it might anger the Queen and the elders, and I will have to suffer some punishment."

Knowing that this was an attempt to get some benefits, Xiao Ling thought for a moment and said, "As long as you can prepare three Dou Ling Pills of medicinal materials, I can refine a Dou Ling Pill for you. With the help of this Dou Ling Pill, it won't be long before Commander Yue Mei can enter the Dou Huang realm."

Yue Mei was obviously a little tempted. Now her cultivation has reached the peak of the Seven-Star Dou King. After breaking through to the Eight-Star Dou King, she will take another Douling Pill and reach the Nine-Star Dou King. It is not far from breaking through to the Douhuang. Thinking of this, Yue Mei replied delicately: "This suggestion is indeed good. Then I will take Master Xiao Ling and this little sister to the Holy City. After Master Xiao Ling gets what he wants, he must keep his promise~"

Seeing that Yue Mei agreed to the proposal, Xiao Ling nodded. Anyway, he would not waste much time refining a Dou Ling Dan for Yue Mei, and he could also earn medicinal materials for two Dou Ling Dan. He was worthy of being the T0 professional alchemist in the Douqi Continent. His status was really different.

Holding Zi Yan's hand, Xiao Ling stood up and said to Yue Mei opposite him, "Let's go without further delay. Don't worry, I still have my reputation as an alchemist. As long as you exchange for the Sand Mandragora and prepare the herbs, I will help you refine it."

Seeing that Xiao Ling and the other man had stood up, Yue Mei also stood up and said, "Since Master Xiao Ling is so anxious, let's set off now." After she finished speaking, she led the two of them out of the attic.

After saying hello to the guards outside the attic, Yue Mei spread her fighting spirit wings and flew towards the holy city of the snake people with Xiao Ling and Zi Yan.

Chapter 57 Queen Medusa

Flying in the air, Xiao Ling took out the map of the Tagor Desert he got from Hai Bodong, looked at it carefully, and found that the distance from the Mei Snake Tribe to the Holy City of the Snake People was not very far. If the Rayquaza was awakened, it would take less than two hours to arrive there. However, this was one of his trump cards to leave the Snake People after the transaction failed, so it would be better not to expose it easily.

With the cultivation level of the three Dou Wangs and everyone trying their best, after more than half a day, they were about to arrive at the Holy City of the Snake People.

The endless yellow sand danced in the gusts of wind, and a setting sun slowly slid down from the horizon, reflecting a golden world. In the eyes of the three people, in the endless desert, there was a huge city, looming there.

Seeing the towering city standing in the desert ahead, Xiao Ling asked Yue Mei who was standing beside him, "Commander Yue Mei, that should be the holy city of your snake people, right?"

Hearing Xiao Ling's question, Yue Mei nodded and replied to Xiao Ling: "Yes, the holy city of our snake people is ahead. The elders and the queen of the snake people have been guarding it for many years. You must keep a close eye on me, otherwise those snake people guards will definitely attack you without hesitation when they see two human Dou Wangs breaking into the holy city of the snake people."

Xiao Ling nodded, indicating that he would do as he was told, then he took Zi Yan's hand and flew to a place not far behind Yue Mei.

As the distance to the holy city of the snake people got closer and closer, in Xiao Ling's field of vision, in the monotonous yellow sand around this magnificent city, many huge stones began to appear. Behind these rocks was the temple city where Queen Medusa lived.

Perhaps because of the martial law, the gates of this huge city are now closed. On the city walls, fully armed snake guards are patrolling back and forth. Above the walls, more than a dozen large black birds are circling back and forth, their sharp eyes constantly scanning outside the city. Any slight movement will cause these beasts to sound the alarm.

Xiao Ling glanced over the city wall with some curiosity. Although they were far away, he could still find that the overall strength of the snakemen guards in this city was definitely stronger than that of the Charm Snake Tribe last night. Moreover, among those snakemen guards, there were occasionally some snakemen with strange costumes. These snakemen had cold expressions and stood on the city wall like pillars. However, Xiao Ling found out after a rough glance that no other snakemen dared to set foot within a few feet around these snakemen. Obviously, they were quite afraid of these snakemen with strange costumes.

"These guys... must be Medusa's personal guards, right? They are indeed stronger than ordinary guards. But they don't pose any threat to me, so there's no need to take them too seriously." Xiao Ling withdrew his gaze from the snake-men guards on the city wall and continued to follow Yue Mei to fly towards the city gate.

After a while, the three of them arrived at the gate of the Snakeman Holy City, and the Snakeman guards also turned their eyes to Xiao Ling and his companions.

When they saw that Yue Mei, one of the eight commanders, had arrived with two human-like Dou Wang warriors, they were all a little confused.

A Serpent Man guard who had reached the peak of Dou Ling, twisting his snake tail, came to the front of the city wall, first bowed to Yue Mei, and then asked in a puzzled tone: "Commander Yue Mei, may I ask what the two Dou Wang masters behind you are up to? If they don't know their motives for coming here, we must not let them enter the Serpent Man Holy City."

Hearing the guard captain's question, Yue Mei replied, "Neither of them is a strong man from the surrounding countries. The man is a sixth-grade alchemist from Canaan College, and the girl is a magical beast incarnation. They have no ill will towards the snake people. They came to the snake people just to make a deal with the queen. It will definitely benefit the snake people. Don't worry, I will not betray the snake people."

After listening to Yue Mei's explanation, the captain of the guard took another close look at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, and recalled it in his mind. He found that in the intelligence of the Snake People, there were no portraits of these two people among the Dou Wang powerful warriors trained by the major imperial forces around them. In addition, with the guarantee of Commander Yue Mei, it seems that these two people are indeed not hostile to the Snake People.

Moreover, in the holy city of the Snake People, there is not only Queen Medusa, but also four elders whose cultivation has reached the peak of Douhuang. There are only two Douwang, which is nothing to worry about.

So he bowed to Yue Mei and said, "In that case, I won't stop you any longer." After saying that, he signaled to the snakemen guards around him that there was no danger here, and returned to his post.

After getting the snake man's consent, Yue Mei said nothing more. She took Xiao Ling and Zi Yan and continued to fly towards the center of the snake man's holy city, the palace where Queen Medusa lived.

In front of a magnificent palace, Xiao Ling and his companions retracted their fighting wings, descended from the sky, and arrived at the main entrance of the palace.

After Yue Mei discussed with the Medusa guards, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan followed Yue Mei, passed through layers of guards, and entered a magnificent hall.

Long before Yue Mei brought Xiao Ling and Zi Yan to the city wall of the snake people's holy city, a snake person used a special sound transmission secret method to convey Yue Mei's words to Queen Medusa's ears.

Perhaps because she heard that Xiao Ling was a sixth-rank alchemist and wanted to make a deal with the Snake People, the Snake People Queen became interested, so she came to the ordinary meeting hall in advance, so that Xiao Ling did not have to wait here for a while.

Looking into the hall, I saw a charming woman with a snake tail lying on a luxurious chair in the best position. Next to her, a snake woman holding a spear was guarding her. As expected, these two snake women were the Queen Medusa, who was famous for her beauty and murderous reputation, and her personal guard leader Hua She'er.

Xiao Ling looked at Queen Medusa with some curiosity, and could not help but be a little surprised. Medusa's face was so beautiful that it almost reached the level of enchantment. A pair of narrow and long light purple eyes, with a natural charm, could almost attract every man's attention. She was wearing a graceful purple brocade robe. Her body under the brocade robe was plump and exquisite, like a ripe peach, exuding a faint charm. Her long black hair casually fell from her shoulders and vertically between her slender waist. Under the brocade robe, a purple snake tail was exposed. The snake tail swayed slightly, and a wild and enchanting attraction made people inexplicably feel a little hot all over.

Chapter 58 Transaction (Part )

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Ling regained his composure while the people around him were still not able to react. He was not a country boy who had never seen the world. He could not make a fool of himself in public. He had no plans to be a grassroots hero for now. He had to have at least the strength of a Dou Zong before this beautiful snake would look up to him.

Queen Medusa, who was lying on her side on the amethyst throne on the high platform, saw Yue Mei walking in with Xiao Ling and Zi Yan. Her slightly closed eyes slowly opened and she cast her gaze on Xiao Ling and Zi Yan behind Yue Mei.

Relying on his cultivation that has reached the peak of Dou Huang, when Xiao Ling did not use the "disguise" skill, he was able to easily detect Xiao Ling and Zi Yan's cultivation, a four-star Dou Wang and one at the peak of Dou Wang.

Medusa narrowed her narrow eyes, relying on years of intuition and rich combat experience, she realized that the two people in front of her were a little unusual. If they really fought, their strength would definitely not be as simple as it seemed.

Yue Mei stepped forward first, bowed respectfully to Queen Medusa, and then said, "Greetings, Her Majesty."

Queen Medusa withdrew her gaze from Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, and replied calmly, "Stand up." Then she pointed to a few chairs around her and said to them, "I roughly understand why you are here. Sit down first and we'll talk."

Hearing this, Yue Mei replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty." She twisted her snake tail and found a chair to sit on. Xiao Ling also held Zi Yan's hand and sat opposite Yue Mei.

After they sat down, Xiao Ling said to Medusa, "Hello, Queen Medusa, let me introduce myself. I am Xiao Ling, an elder from the Alchemy Department of Canaan College. I have come to the Serpent People Tribe this time because I want to make a deal with them. I want to exchange a Sand Mandragora from you. This is a medicinal ingredient I need to refine a pill."

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, he hinted at Zi Yan. The tacit understanding they had gained from getting along for so many years made Zi Yan understand what Xiao Ling meant immediately. He wanted her to brag a few words on the side.

So he spoke to Medusa on the platform in a childish voice, "Sister Snakeman, Xiao Ling is a sixth-rank alchemist. As long as you are willing to take out the Sand Mandragora, you will definitely be able to get a satisfactory reward."

Medusa, who had been lying on her side just now, also slowly sat up. After hearing Xiao Ling's words, she had planned to make things difficult for a few people and raise the value of the Sand Mandala. However, when she heard the little girl in purple speak and call her sister, she always felt an inexplicable comfort in her heart. Moreover, when she looked at the little girl in purple carefully, she always felt that she met her aesthetic standards. The more she looked at her, the cuter she found her. She had originally planned to bargain, and when she was about to speak, she swallowed the words back into her stomach before she could even utter a word.

Then he looked at the purple-dressed girl opposite with a curious look, and said in a somewhat curious tone: "Little guy, what's your name? You are a transformed monster, right?"

Zi Yan, who was sitting next to her, heard Queen Medusa asking her questions and remembered what Xiao Ling had whispered in her ear before. "Zi Yan, Queen Medusa of the Snake Tribe is a rich woman. She is in charge of all the medicinal herbs in the Snake Tribe. You have to build a good relationship with her. When she is in a good mood, she will just take out a few herbs from the Snake Tribe's treasury for you. Are you still worried about not having herbs to eat in the future?"

His mind couldn't help but think of the scene where he followed Medusa to the treasury of the snake people to select medicinal herbs. His eyes were shining with gold, and he quickly replied: "My name is Zi Yan, and I'm already a fifth-level peak magic beast. Since I can remember, I have been wandering alone in the Magic Beast Mountains. I have never met a member of the same tribe and lived alone. Later, I accidentally ate a shapeshifting grass and became like this. Although I have become a human, I can't change back to my original appearance. I can only wait until I take the shapeshifting pill or improve my cultivation to eliminate the side effects of the shapeshifting grass before I can restore my magic beast body. Then I can figure out what race I am and find my family."

Medusa on the opposite side couldn't help but feel sorry for the little girl after listening to Zi Yan's self-introduction. After all, she still had many tribesmen, but this little girl had been traveling alone since she could remember, and she must have suffered a lot. Thinking of her deceased sister, Medusa became a little sad.

After staring at Zi Yan's face for a while, Medusa suddenly said, "Zi Yan, do you want to be my sister? As long as we are in the territory of the snake people, I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hua She'er, Yue Mei and Xiao Ling beside them were a little surprised.

Yue Mei and Hua She'er were thinking the same thing, "How is it possible that the cold-blooded and arrogant queen wants to be sisters with this little girl the first time she sees her!"

After being slightly surprised, Xiao Ling did not think about it any more. After all, Medusa and Zi Yan hit it off at first sight in the original novel and became good sisters. Now that they met, they might have fallen in love with each other, and Medusa said it out loud. But according to age, Zi Yan, who is more than 1,400 years old, should be much older than Medusa, who is more than 300 years old.

Hearing that Medusa wanted her to be her sister, Zi Yan thought for a moment and replied: "As long as you give me delicious herbs, I will be your sister, but only a sister of friends. I will not stay in the snake tribe."

Although it did not meet her expectations, Medusa still nodded and said to Zi Yan, "No problem. As long as you want, the door of the snake people is always open to you."

Seeing that the two of them were about to divert the topic, Xiao Ling winked at Zi Yan. Zi Yan, who was chatting with Medusa, noticed this and remembered that she still had some important business to do.

So he went forward and hugged Medusa's arm, and said in a baby voice: "Sister Medusa, Xiao Ling wants a Sand Mandragora, you can exchange a pair of plants with her, and you can ask him to refine pills for you. The quality of the pills he refines is much better than others."
