Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

The words of the snakeman captain clearly showed how much he disliked and hated the human race.

Xiao Yan himself knew very well that it was meaningless to talk to such a person.

No matter how sincere you are, in his eyes it is nothing but a fraud.

The captain of the snake tribe had prejudice against him from the very beginning.

It would be a waste of words to talk further.

In that case, there is nothing we can do.

Xiao Yan sighed deeply, retracted his clasped hands, looked at the snakeman captain and reminded him softly.

"Since you are really unwilling to talk, Xiao has no choice but to use force to force your way in. Afterwards, Xiao will personally apologize to you all!"

In Xiao Yan's heart, no matter what the situation is, no matter what kind of person the other party is, using force is definitely the last, last resort, and most extreme means.

This proves that he is simply unable to solve the problem with reason, and the means he uses are still force to silence others.

These days of traveling made Xiao Yan gradually understand.

It seems that I used to be too naive in every aspect.

At least when it comes to communication, the use of force is often an absolutely necessary means.

It is not just a deterrent to make the other party willing to communicate, but also a weapon to be used in practice.

There are always some people in this world who will not calm down and listen to you unless they have truly experienced force.

What's worse, even if they use force to suppress, they still won't feel reconciled in their hearts.

The use of force is so disgusting, yet so helpless.

After all, human beings are such a huge group. No matter what kind of people appear in this group, we should not be surprised.

After recognizing the reality, all Xiao Yan could do was to constantly warn himself in his heart, even if he had to use force, not to fall into the pleasure of the law of the jungle.

No matter when or where you are, you must be extremely firm and follow your own righteous path.

Never become a slave to power.

Chapter 144: Instant Attack

"Qinglin, you and this employer should step back first."

Xiao Yan pushed Qing Lin and the cloaked woman behind him. Qing Lin frowned slightly and looked up at Xiao Yan.

"Master Xiao Yan, I'll come too."

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Xiao Yan interrupted Qing Lin softly, patted her head gently, took a step forward, clenched his wrist and turned it slightly, took a step forward, stepped on the hot and soft sand, and stared at the captain of the snake people in front of him.

Behind Xiao Yan, the cloaked woman gently stroked her storage ring, and a spear emerged silently from under her cloak.

From what the cloaked woman felt, Xiao Yan's strength was only that of a two-star fighter, while that team of snakemen was at least an eight-star fighter, and the leading snakeman captain was even a four-star fighter.

But now seeing Xiao Yan like this, ready to face it alone at any time, although the cloaked woman admired his courage, she also thought in her heart that Xiao Yan's actions were too reckless.

However, the cloaked woman knew in her heart that the captain of the snake tribe on the opposite side had an extremely bad attitude towards humans. Now that things had come to this, it was impossible to avoid the battle.

All she could do now was to stay on her toes and be ready to support Xiao Yan at any time, while also trying her best to ensure that this team of snake people was not killed.

The cloaked woman knew that if she killed the snake people before she reached her destination, no matter what the reason was, it would be difficult to negotiate peacefully afterwards.

She came here not to make things worse.

Just as the cloaked woman was tense, Xiao Yan looked at the captain of the snakeman tribe and spoke softly.

"Then everyone, please be careful."

"Ok?"

Xiao Yan's words made the Snakeman captain have a question mark in his head, and the cloaked woman was also slightly stunned.

When you are outnumbered or the weak against the strong, do you need to give the opponent a special reminder before taking action?

Is this guy sure there's nothing wrong with his brain?

Just as the cloaked woman was thinking this, in the next second, Xiao Yan in the distance suddenly disappeared from her sight. When he reappeared, he had crossed a distance of dozens of meters and appeared in front of the snakeman captain in an instant!

Before the captain of the snake tribe could react, he felt a sudden heavy blow to his abdomen. He immediately lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, although they are an alien race, their weaknesses are basically the same as those of humans.

If hitting the abdomen doesn't work, then Xiao Yan will have to consider using other means to make the pair of snakemen in front of him lose their combat effectiveness.

Then Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly became stern, and his figure flashed again, shuttling among the team of Snake People whose faces still showed shock. In just a few seconds, the team of Snake People who were originally ready to confront Xiao Yan all fell to the ground, motionless.

The cloaked woman had a dull look in her eyes as she stared at the scene before her that she could not understand, and the spear clenched in her hand lightly rested on the sand.

Her whole mind was confused at this moment.

What?

What happened just now? !

A two-star fighter instantly knocked out a four-star fighter and a group of snakemen who were at least eight-star fighters at a speed that even she, a seven-star fighter, could not see clearly?

absurd!

absurd! ! !

How could such a ridiculous thing happen?!

Am I dreaming? ! ! !

Compared to the cloaked woman who was filled with shock, the young Qing Lin did not think so much. Seeing Xiao Yan subdue the entire team of snake people in an instant, her petite body ran over with great excitement.

"Master Xiao Yan! You are so awesome!!!"

In response, Xiao Yan simply chuckled, then took out a bundle of ropes from his storage ring, divided it into two bundles, and handed one of the bundles to Qing Lin.

"Qinglin, help me tie them up, I'll drag them along."

Although Xiao Yan did not kill them, in this desert where monsters could appear at any time, Xiao Yan would definitely not throw these unconscious snake people here. Otherwise, if something really happened, it would be no different from Xiao Yan killing them.

"Ok!"

Qing Lin nodded vigorously, took the rope from Xiao Yan, and together with Xiao Yan tied up the snake people on the ground. Xiao Yan held both ends of the rope in his hand.

Although Qing Lin also wanted to help pull one or two, but his body was too weak. He was about to summon a pet to help, but was stopped by Xiao Yan. He said that he could drag them anyway, so he let it be.

At this time, the cloaked woman finally came back to her senses from her shock. She silently put the spear back into her ring, walked up to Xiao Yan and whispered.

"Do you need my help?"

"Ah, it's okay. I can do it alone."

Xiao Yan chuckled and waved his hand, took out the map and confirmed the direction with Qing Lin, then pulled the rope and dragged the team of snake people forward. The cloaked woman continued to follow Xiao Yan silently.

Looking at Xiao Yan's back, there was a strange flash in the cloaked woman's eyes.

The fighting power that Xiao Yan just displayed was definitely not what a fighting master should possess.

Originally, the cloaked woman thought that Xiao Yan, a fighting master, would definitely not be as safe as Xiao Li, the great fighting master, and that was why she was worried all the way.

But now it seems that she was worrying too much.

Although she didn't know why, according to her estimation, Xiao Yan's fighting ability might not even be comparable to that of a Grand Fighter.

The cloaked woman had seen people fighting against people of higher levels before, but the fighting power displayed by Xiao Yan far exceeded the concept of fighting against people of higher levels.

How does a person practice to have such strength?

The cloaked woman's brows were tightly knitted together.

Speaking of which, I seem to have heard the name Xiao Yan somewhere before.

The cloaked woman lowered her head, thinking quietly.

After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, with surprise in his eyes.

Oh, right! Isn’t the fiancé of the Young Master of the Yunlan Sect called Xiao Yan?

Yes. That's right.

The two leaders of the Motie Mercenary Group, Xiao Ji and Xiao Li, were from the Xiao family of Wutan City. As their younger brother, Xiao Yan must also be from the Xiao family of Wutan City.

Then the Xiao Yan in front of him was the Xiao Yan who was engaged to the Yunlan Sect’s Young Master Nalan Yanran!

Thinking of this, the cloaked woman suddenly became alert.

Although the cloaked woman was not interested in this matter itself, the three-year agreement between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan was known to everyone in the Holy City of Jia Ma. Even if she heard some of the things through the earphones, she still heard them.

According to what the cloaked woman knew, this three-year agreement was not made because Nalan Yanran looked down on Xiao Yan, but rather it was made to force Xiao Yan to complete the engagement with her immediately?

To be honest, in the eyes of the cloaked woman, the Xiao family of Wutan City and the current Nalan family are not families of the same class at all, and the power of the two is simply not comparable.

What's more, Xiao Yan at that time was already a known waste.

Therefore, when she heard this rumor, the cloaked woman's first reaction was that it was a rumor.

A daughter of destiny, the granddaughter of the Nalan family, the future leader of the Yunlan Sect, not only did she not force the cancellation of the engagement, but she also made a three-year agreement with her worthless fiancé in order to complete the marriage?

How could such an outrageous thing happen?!

But now, the woman in the cloak seemed to understand a little.

At least the Xiao Yan in front of her had nothing to do with the waste she had heard of before.

If this person is a waste, then there will be few normal people in the Gama Empire!

However, the woman in the cloak had a vague feeling in her heart.

The reason why Nalan Yanran is so obsessed with Xiao Yan may have nothing to do with his strength.

Chapter 145 Flame Thorn

The cloaked woman knew Xiao Yan's identity and frowned slightly.

This time, she secretly came to the remote Tagor Desert from the holy city of Gama, just to quietly investigate those lawbreakers who secretly violated the Gama royal ban and still engaged in the slave trade business.

The Gama royal family had heard about this a long time ago, but every time they wanted to investigate further, they would be blocked by an unshakable resistance, causing the Gama royal family to suffer setbacks again and again.

And that unshakable resistance is the Yunlan Sect!

Although the Gama royal family does not have definite evidence at present, all signs indicate that the Yunlan Sect is the umbrella for these slave businesses!

Therefore, in the mind of the cloaked woman, Nalan Yanran, the young master of the Yunlan Sect, is not trustworthy, the Nalan family behind her is not trustworthy, and the Xiao family, which has an engagement with the Nalan family, is also not trustworthy.

Before coming here, the cloaked woman had no intention of joining the Motie Mercenary Group, because the Motie Mercenary Group was the mercenary group established by the eldest and second daughters of the head of the Xiao family, whom she suspected.

But after arriving here, the cloaked woman learned through collecting intelligence that in the past six months, Xiao Ji had been risking his life to lead the Motie Mercenary Group to crack down on the slave business, and overcame numerous difficulties to establish a trading chain with the snake people, and he seemed determined to make the snake people and humans coexist peacefully.

This made the cloaked woman feel a little uncertain.

If the Xiao family was really in cahoots with the Yunlan Sect behind the slave traders, then there would be no need for Xiao Ji and Xiao Li to go to such lengths. Even if it was just for show, it would be too much.

The only explanation is that they sincerely hope so.

But in the mind of the cloaked woman, facts without evidence are just guesses.

Even with this alone, the cloaked woman could not fully trust the Desert Iron Mercenaries.

After much hesitation, the cloaked woman finally decided to go to the Desert Iron Mercenary Group and hire them to take her to the territory of the snake people.

First, the main purpose of the cloaked woman's visit this time is to use her identity to communicate with the snake people and try to resolve the misunderstandings between the two sides over the years.

Secondly, he also wanted to try to get a deeper understanding of the people of the Motie Mercenary Group through the hiring process, and to see with his own eyes whether Xiao Jing and Xiao Li were in cahoots with the Yunlan Sect.

But she didn't expect that in the end, Xiao Li would let her younger brother Xiao Yan follow her.

However, from what the cloaked woman has seen so far, there is nothing wrong with Xiao Yan, including Qing Lin who is following him.

Especially just now, if Xiao Yan really didn’t care about the relationship between the Snake People and humans, then when facing that team of Snake People, he could have killed them with legitimate reasons.

After all, the cloaked woman saw how the snake people treated him, so even if Xiao Yan killed them, it could be explained as self-defense.

Instead of what is happening now, not only did they knock them out, but they were also worried that they would be attacked by monsters and had to drag them along the way.

At least Xiao Yan's actions proved that he did not want to destroy the already unstable relationship between humans and the snake people because of his actions.
