Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Although the situation is now basically stable, Xiao Jing still feels uneasy in his heart.

She didn't think that the two countries of Izumo and Ryogan could swallow their anger after paying such a huge price and being tricked by Queen Medusa.

Their core goal is to wipe out the snake people. As long as Queen Medusa is not dead, they will not be able to retreat.

When a few people went to look for Medusa, Xiao Yan also learned of Yao Ye's identity and immediately expressed shock.

He never expected that Yao Ye, the designated successor to the royal family, would run to the dangerous Tagor Desert alone.

"arrive."

Xiao Wei stopped and looked at the mountain wall in front of him with a frown, then lowered his head to confirm the location on the map again.

It should be here.

Xiao Wei put the map away, stretched out his hand, placed it on the mountain wall in front of him, and injected his fighting spirit into it.

“It’s not real.”

Xiao Wei murmured in a low voice, and after hearing this, Xiao Yan took out the Xuan Zhong ruler.

"Sister, please step back and I'll break it open."

Xiao Yan said this, but Xiao Wei just shook his head slightly.

"This mountain wall is not thin. If we try to break it, it will definitely make a lot of noise. It will be bad if we attract people."

As Xiao Wei spoke, he took out the blood-stained storage ring and searched inside it with his consciousness.

Before his death, Yinshi said that there was a key to open it from the outside.

The next second, an ordinary-looking stone appeared in Xiao Wei's hand. He then understood something and scanned the mountain wall in front of him.

Soon, he found an inconspicuous groove in an extremely hidden corner. Xiao Yu walked forward and put the stone into the groove.

click!

The next moment, the stone wall in front of them slowly opened to the sides, revealing a staircase leading straight downwards, with a row of torches for lighting hanging on both sides of the passage.

"Let's go."

Xiao Wei called softly and led the three of them into the cave. After a moment, the stone door slowly closed, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

Inside the cave, Xiao Wei and his companions followed the steps and walked down along the path lit by torches. The further they went, the colder they felt, penetrating deep into their bones.

But at the same time, I also felt strangely that this coldness was mixed with a heartburning heat.

"Sister, why don't we call a few more leaders?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ji doubtfully and asked, "It would be safer even if we just called Yue Mei over, right?"

"Yan'er, you have to understand one thing, that is, Queen Medusa is in seclusion now. It doesn't matter how many people protect her. What matters is that she cannot be disturbed by external forces."

"Those leaders can indeed protect Queen Medusa, but correspondingly, their identities will attract more attention. Calling them to protect will more likely expose Queen Medusa's location. If we are not careful, Queen Medusa will be disturbed. In that case, it is better not to come to protect her."

"We are actually invisible people in this incident. Not many people will pay attention to us. We are the only ones who are suitable to protect Queen Medusa."

Xiao Wei said this, looking sideways at Xiao Yan and chuckled.

"Or Yan'er, do you not have the confidence to protect Queen Medusa?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yan scratched his face awkwardly, but still answered truthfully, "I really don't have confidence. Sister, you are a Dou Ling after all, and I am just a little Dou Shi. In the eyes of those people, I am not considered a fighting force at all, right?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's self-deprecating words, Yao Ye couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Do you want to recall what you did? What did you do in the Yakachu tribe that you have forgotten?

Nearly ten great Dou Masters and a Dou Ling were powerless in your hands. Are you sure you are just a small Dou Master? If you are a small Dou Master, then what am I?

"Hehe~" Xiao Yu laughed softly and reached out to ruffle Xiao Yan's hair, "Yan'er, being modest is a good thing, but sometimes being too modest is not a good thing."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Looking at Xiao Yan's dazed expression, Xiao Yi couldn't help but chuckle with his hands covering his mouth, and the sadness in his heart caused by the death in the underworld also subsided a little.

My little brother is still silly and cute no matter how old he gets~

As they were talking, they finally reached the bottom of the ground.

As soon as I stepped down the last step, I felt a wave of heat coming over me.

This dark underground has a diameter of a hundred meters. The ground is filled with a circle of spring water, and in the center of the spring is a stone pillar. A beautiful female snakeman with long red hair is coiled on the stone pillar. Although her eyes are closed, one can still smell the cool aura coming from her body.

The queen of the snake people, Medusa!

Above Queen Medusa, there was a cluster of light blue flames shaped like a lotus hovering, the light of the flames illuminating the underground space. The circle of flames on the stone wall were all moving towards the light blue flames, as if they were kneeling down in submission to it.

(Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire!!!)

Yao Chen in Xiao Yan's ring exclaimed immediately. She never expected that the snake people actually had strange fire!

At this time, Xiao Wei began to explain.

"I heard from the elders of Yinshi before that the snake people have a secret method that can evolve by absorbing the strange fire and move towards a higher level of race." Xiao Yu frowned tightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes, "But the failure rate of this method is too high. Once it fails, the soul will be shattered and there will be no body left."

"Then why does she still use this method?"

Xiao Yan’s eyes were full of confusion. Queen Medusa should know very well that once she died, the entire snake race would be finished!

In response to this, Xiao Wei was silent for a while, and then gave an explanation.

"Because of the snake people, in the Tagor Desert."

Xiao Ji turned his gaze to Yao Ye and asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness Yaoye, does the royal family really want to solve the problem of the snake people?"

"Of course!"

In response to Xiao Wei's question, Yao Ye nodded heavily without hesitation.

Xiao Wei then asked.

"Then may I ask, how does the royal family want to solve this problem?"

"Of course we have to find a way to reconcile with the snake people! It's just because of the Yunlan Sect that we have not made any progress!"

Yao Ye's answer was so certain that Xiao Ji smiled helplessly.

"Perhaps in the royal family, Your Highness Yaoye is the only one who thinks this way."

"Huh?!" Yao Ye paused, "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness Yaoye, why do you think Jia Lao's father banned the slave trade and asked his descendants to find ways to reconcile with the snake people?" Xiao Yu stared at Yaoye, and before Yaoye could answer, he continued, "Because Jia Lao's father was afraid of the snake people."

! ! ! ! !

Yao Ye's pupils suddenly contracted, and he listened blankly to Xiao Wei's next words.

"Perhaps His Highness Yaoye believes that Jia Lao's father feels guilty for what the previous royal family did to the snake people, so he wants to make up for the mistakes of the previous royal family."

"I won't say for sure that there is no such possibility."

"But I can be sure that this is by no means the main reason."

"The real reason is that the power and location of the Snake People may threaten the Gama Empire."

"Indeed, the situation in the holy land is just as Yan'er told us just now. Queen Medusa pretended to cooperate with Chuyun Luoyan and used the incident of her being backstabbed to make Jia Lao stand on the side of the snake people."

"But have you ever thought about what would happen if Queen Medusa and Izumo Rakugan were both truly cooperating?"

Xiao Jing's words made Yao Ye's clothes suddenly soaked with cold sweat!

Yes, now it’s because Yan Luotian backstabbed Queen Medusa that the Gama Empire and the Snake People are on the same side.

But what if Yan Luotian didn’t backstab him?

In that case, with Izumo, Luoyan, and the snake people, the Gama Empire would be unable to resist at all, and the Tagor Desert would no longer belong to the Gama Empire!

At this time, Xiao Yu continued.

"The Gama Empire is worried about this, and Queen Medusa also has her own concerns."

"The power of the Snake People is ultimately no match for the Empire. Even if they really join Chuyun Luoyan, they are just vassals. If Chuyun Luoyan abandons the Snake People one day in the future, they will have no way out. The Gama Empire will definitely not accept the Snake People again."

"One rebellion is enough to be remembered for a lifetime."

"Therefore, joining Izumo Rakugan is definitely an option that the snake people should consider when they really have no other options."

"Since we can't join Izumo Rakugan, we can only try our best to maintain relations with the Gama Empire."

"However, no matter what the reason, the Gama royal family has been trying to reconcile with the snake people for more than 200 years without any progress. This has also made Queen Medusa increasingly distrustful of the Gama royal family."

"My appearance has indeed given Queen Medusa hope."

"But, not much."

"My methods can indeed help the Snake People and the Gama Empire gradually eliminate the estrangement."

"However, if things go well, it will take quite a while to reach a settlement."

"Ten years? Twenty years? Fifty years?"

"Even I can't tell the time."

"And during this period, if Chu Yun Luo Yan did anything, it would be too late."

"It was this fear about the future, coupled with the chance to obtain the Strange Fire, that made Queen Medusa decide to take the risk and gamble everything on it."

After Xiao Jing finished speaking, he stared at Yao Ye.

"Your Highness Yaoye, the royal family does want to reconcile with the snake people, but at the same time, the royal family also hopes that the hidden danger of the snake people will disappear forever."

"If Queen Medusa was really stabbed in the back and died outside the Holy Land, then Jia Lao would most likely choose to stand by and watch as Izumo Rakuyan exterminated the snake people."

"Impossible!" Anger flashed across Yao Ye's eyes, and he immediately rejected it in a stern voice, "My great-grandfather would never do such a heartless and ungrateful thing!"

In response to Yao Ye's denial, Xiao Wei didn't say anything more.

Just quietly, watching the night.

After a brief moment of anger, Yao Ye gradually calmed down.

After a while, Yao Ye couldn't help but ask himself.

Would my great-grandfather really not do this?

Thinking back on the decisions Jia Xingtian had made in the past, Yaoye felt unsure.

Seeing Yao Ye's changeable expression, Xiao Yi sighed softly in his heart.

The royal family, that's what.

They are not only carrying the burden of their own family, but also the entire empire.

The longer he sat on the throne, the more he felt the burden he was carrying.

Xiao Ji would not tell Yao Ye directly that Jia Xingtian had done something wrong.

Because Xiao Ji couldn't be sure whether what Jia Xingtian did was wrong.

Things like this can only be clearly distinguished at some point in the future.

Precisely because he is unable to distinguish right from wrong, Jia Xingtian has always been trying his best to ensure that he does not make mistakes, to the point of not daring to do anything.

It is precisely because of this that the problem of the snake people has been delayed for more than two hundred years.

Xiao Ji never thought that he could reconcile humans and snake people on his own.

What is needed is not only the support of the Snake People, but also the support of the Gama Royal Family.

Since the Gama royal family doesn't dare to take that step, I will pave the way for them.

Queen Medusa couldn't wait for decades, and Xiao Jing couldn't wait either.

Even if Chu Yun Luo Yan had not intervened this time, Xiao Wei would have thought of other ways to force the Jia Ma royal family to make a choice.

Chu Yun Luo Yan's initiative to enter this time was beyond Xiao Ji's plan, but it just happened to suit her wishes.

"Your Highness Yaoye."

Xiao Wei called softly, and when Yao Ye looked at her, she spoke slowly.

"If you really can't figure it out now, don't think about it anymore."

"You still have a long way to go in your future."

"I personally hope that you can remember this moment, and remember your original intention of thinking that Mr. Jia was wrong in the first place."
