Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

This made the cloaked woman not as wary of Xiao Yan as she was at the beginning.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Yan's strength was extremely inconsistent with his level. If he really wanted to do something to himself, his strength as a seven-star fighter seemed not enough. He could kill himself on the spot and bury him without anyone knowing.

Xiao Yan dragged the team of snake people, Qing Lin and the cloaked woman until dusk, and according to the instructions on the map, they gradually approached the territory of the snake people.

"Let's rest here today."

Xiao Yan said this while looking at the edge of the desert camera. However, before the cloaked woman and Qing Lin could respond, an indescribable pressure suddenly appeared above the three of them.

Then came a powerful and hostile voice.

"Who dares to trespass into the sacred territory of our snake people?!"

!!!

Xiao Yan and the other two suddenly raised their heads and saw a male snakeman floating in the air. His fiery red body seemed to be wrapped in burning flames, and the illusory fighting wings behind him silently indicated his level.

Fighting spirit turns into wings! Fighting King!!!

The cloaked woman also identified the identity of the male snakeman in the sky at the first time based on the information she had seen before.

One of the eight tribal leaders of the Snake People, the leader of the Flame Snake Tribe, Yan Ci!

Looking at the Flame Thorn above, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, with no fear in his eyes. He loosened his grip on the rope, took a step forward and saluted the Flame Thorn with his hands clasped together.

"Senior, I am Xiao Yan, a member of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group."

"Xiao Yan?" Yan Ci frowned slightly when he heard Xiao Yan's introduction. "What is your relationship with Xiao Yu?"

"Xiao Yu is my elder sister. I came here to make sure she is safe."

Yan Ci lowered his head, looked at the group of snakemen who were tied up tightly with ropes behind Xiao Yan, and asked in a cold voice.

"Those snake people, were you the ones who did it?"

"Please rest assured, senior. These snake people are not in danger of death. They were just knocked unconscious by me. I brought them with me only because I was worried that they would be attacked by the monsters in the desert. There is no other reason."

After hearing Xiao Yan's answer, Yan Ci was silent for a moment, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from the distance. When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Xiao Yan. His tall figure exuded a burning aura, and he lowered his head to stare at Xiao Yan, who was shorter in comparison.

"Master Xiao Yan!"

Qing Lin reacted immediately upon seeing this. Just as he was about to rush forward, he was stopped by Xiao Yan's raised hand. He still looked up and stared at Yan Ci. Although his expression was serious, there was no fear on his face.

But secretly, Xiao Yan's whole body had quietly tensed up, ready to deal with any possible attack from Flame Thorn at any time.

Looking at Xiao Yan's fearless eyes, Yan Ci frowned slightly and spoke slowly with a burning breath from his mouth.

"Your eyes are very similar to your sister's." Yan Ci stared at Xiao Yan and said slowly: "This is the look that only people with strong beliefs can have."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

Xiao Yan responded calmly, neither humble nor arrogant. His nonchalant attitude made Yan Ci laugh.

"You and your sister are really the same kind of people. Your strength is far inferior to ours, but when facing us tribal leaders, you don't show any fear on your face, nor do you have the hatred in the eyes of other humans. Perhaps it is because of this that we try to believe her."

Yan Ci raised his hand and hooked it. The ropes that Xiao Yan had just put down and tied up the team of snake people were grasped in his hand. Then he took out a fiery red token from his waist and threw it to Xiao Yan in front of him.

"Take this token and keep going forward. If you encounter a snake tribe blocking your way, show them this token and they will let you go. When you get to the end, you will reach the Queen's territory. Your sister Xiao Jing is also there."

Xiao Yan stared at the token in his hand for a long time, then he reacted and held the token with a fist to thank Yan Ci.

"Thank you for the gift, senior!"

"If you want to thank someone, then thank your sister." Yan Ci dragged the group of snakemen and slowly flew up with the wings of fighting spirit behind him. "I'd like to make it clear in advance that I don't like humans, but since there are people like your sister among humans, I think the human race should not be so bad that it makes people despair."

“There are not many people who are so sincere anymore.”

After leaving these words, Yan Ci led the snake people to fly away, leaving a fiery red light in the darkness, leaving Xiao Yan and the other two standing there in a daze.

Chapter 146 Trustworthy

At night, Xiao Yan, Qing Lin and the cloaked woman sat in front of the fire, eating the dry food that Xiao Li asked them to take with them before leaving.

Xiao Yan and Qing Lin were chatting enthusiastically. Xiao Yan told Qing Lin about his experiences during his travels, while Qing Lin told Xiao Yan about his daily life in the Motie Mercenary Group.

As a stranger, the woman in the cloak naturally had no chance to get a word in. She sat quietly in the corner, her brows knitted tightly together under her cloak.

What she was thinking about now was what Yan Ci, the leader of the Flame Snake Tribe, said before he left.

As far as she knew, Yan Ci was the one who was more hostile to humans among the eight tribal leaders. Although he was not to the point of attacking without explanation the moment they met, he was also one of the snake people who had a very bad attitude towards humans.

However, even so, Yan Ci's words still gave Xiao Ji an extremely satisfactory affirmation.

Those words were definitely not just polite talk.

What's more, facing these three people, Yan Ci had no need to say anything polite.

In other words, those words were his true inner thoughts.

Yan Ci was a recognition of Xiao Ji from the bottom of his heart.

This made the woman in the cloak feel a little self-doubtful.

Could it be that I was really overthinking it? Was it true that the Xiao family and the Yunlan Sect's secret dealings had nothing to do with each other?

In that case, it's okay for me to tell him my true identity.

The cloaked woman hesitated in her heart, and after a while she shook her head slightly.

No, it's not time yet.

At least the current Xiao Yan is not someone he can fully trust.

The identity of the fiancé of the Yunlan Sect's young master brings too many variables.

At that time, Xiao Yan faced the Dou Wang powerful warrior head-on, but his face showed no fear at all, which made the cloaked woman secretly admire him in her heart.

Obviously, there was not much difference in strength between the two, but their personalities were so different. At least the cloaked woman did not have the courage to stand in front of the Dou Wang powerhouse as calmly as Xiao Yan.

However, although he admired him, this was only in terms of his character, and it could not prove that Xiao Yan was innocent.

Yan Ci did praise Xiao Jing, but after all, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yan are two different people. Even if Xiao Jing is really fine, Xiao Yan may not be fine.

She had read too many examples of disunity within the same family in history books.

At least now, Xiao Yan was not strong enough to make her reveal her identity.

Just as the cloaked woman was thinking this in her heart, Qing Lin, who was chatting with Xiao Yan, suddenly turned up her nose. A look of vigilance instantly appeared on her porcelain doll-like face. She looked at Xiao Yan and whispered.

"Master Xiao Yan! There are humans!"

"Um?!"

Xiao Yan and the cloaked woman were both startled, and then Qing Lin frowned, bent down slightly, with his ear to the ground, and raised his head again after a moment.

"It's not coming towards us. It should just be passing by us."

"." Xiao Yan lowered his eyebrows, and after a moment he took out a map and handed it to Qing Lin, asking: "Qing Lin, which direction did they go?"

"Let me see"

Qinglin took the map, looked around on it, and finally pointed to a small tribe.

"Master Xiao Yan, according to the direction they are heading, if they don't change their route midway, they should be here."

Xiao Yan came closer and looked at the location Qing Lin pointed at on the map. The cloaked woman also came closer, her brows instantly furrowed.

"This is the Black Snake Tribe?!"

Hearing the cloaked woman's exclamation, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and looked at her sideways.

"From your tone, it seems that you are very familiar with these tribes?"

"Well, I had already collected relevant information before I came here." The cloaked woman nodded, looked at Xiao Yan and replied, "The Snake Tribe has a total of eight tribes, and the leader of each tribe is at the Dou Wang level. The one we encountered at that time was Yan Ci, the leader of the Flame Snake Tribe."

"From what I heard from your voice just now, you seem very nervous?"

Xiao Yan asked, and the cloaked woman answered slowly.

"According to the information, although the Flame Thorns we met there were not so friendly to humans, they were still more rational than emotional." The cloaked woman said, her beauty under the cloak tightly twisted together, "But the leader of the Ink Snake Tribe, Mobas, is different. He is extremely disgusted and hates humans. As long as a human appears in his field of vision, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to leave alive. If the tribal leader we met there was not Flame Thorns but Mobas, we would not have been let off so easily."

After listening to the words of the cloaked woman, Xiao Yan lowered his head and began to think.

He understood why the cloaked woman was nervous.

If the slave traders on the human side are the unstable factors that affect the peaceful coexistence between humans and the snake people, then the leader of the Black Snake Tribe, Mobas, is the unstable factor on the snake people side that affects the peaceful coexistence between humans and the snake people.

In other words, if humans and snake people want to coexist peacefully, the Black Snake Tribe is the last to be harmed.

Otherwise, their attitude towards humans will become even worse, as they already hate humans to the extreme, and they will become a huge obstacle for the Snake People to prevent the two tribes from shaking hands and making peace!

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered.

The reason why Xiao Ji was called over by the Snake People was because some of the Snake People’s tribes were attacked by unknown people.

If what Qinglin just heard was true, those people who passed by were the instigators of the attack on the snake tribe.

“Let’s go!” Xiao Yan no longer hesitated, stood up and put out the flames with sand, and said to Qing Lin and the cloaked woman, “Let’s follow them and find out what their purpose is. We can’t let things get worse!”

"Ok!"

Qinglin nodded heavily. The reason why she stayed in the Tagor Desert was that she didn't want the tragedy of her father and mother to happen again.

Xiao Ji had worked so hard to build the relationship between the two clans to such an extent, how could she tolerate it being destroyed?

The cloaked woman also stood up and looked at Xiao Yan, whose face was serious, with complicated eyes under the cloak.

Originally, she wanted to ask to follow, but she didn't expect Xiao Yan to make the first suggestion.

All she saw on Xiao Yan's face was genuine concern for the future of humans and the snake people, without a trace of hypocrisy.

Xiao Yan was genuinely afraid that the relationship between the Snake People and humans would be destroyed by those unknown people.

At this moment, the cloaked woman gave Xiao Yan a label of trust in her heart.

If a person can really disguise himself to this extent, she would accept it even if she was deceived.

(I will find an opportunity to confess my identity to him later.)

The cloaked woman thought so.

Xiao Yan should be trustworthy.

I can confess my identity to a trustworthy person and I don't have to hide it anymore. I can also discuss many things I want to do with Xiao Yan and I don't have to think about it alone and worry.

Wait until this incident is resolved.

Chapter 147 Everyone deserves to die

Akachu is a small tribe on the outskirts of the Black Snake Tribe of the Snake Empire.

The snake people in this tribe are as black as charcoal, so they are called black snakes.

The Black Snakes are the most violent in nature, and their hatred for humans is the highest among all the snake tribes.

As long as a human appears in the field of vision of the Black Snake Clan, it is likely that they will end up in danger.

In short, the Black Snake Clan has no mercy at all towards humans.

In the small tribe of Yakachu, a group of black snake people sat around the campfire, eating food similar to porridge and discussing with curses.

"How abominable! What on earth was Her Majesty thinking? How could she allow that woman to enter the holy land of the Serpent People?!"

"What was that woman's name? Xiao Yu?"

"It seems to be this name. It says that humans and snake people should live in peace. How ridiculous!!!"

"Humans are a bunch of cruel liars! They all deserve to die!"

"That's right! Peaceful coexistence? We, the Black Snake Clan, would be the first to disagree!!!"

"You've harmed us for hundreds of years, and now you're thinking of reconciliation? You're just daydreaming!"

The members of the Black Snake Tribe vented their hatred towards humans to each other. It was clear from their words and attitudes how much they hated humans.

"Just wait, the leader will go to the Holy Land tomorrow and advise Her Majesty the Queen to execute that human woman!"

"I heard that the woman is the leader of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. As long as she dies, humans and snake people will no longer be able to coexist peacefully!"

"Really? Then I hope the chief's advice tomorrow will be successful and we can live in peace with humans. Just thinking about it makes me sick!"

While these Black Snake people were chatting animatedly, no one noticed that in the distance of the Yakachu tribe, behind a sand dune, a group of humans wrapped in white robes were lurking.

Among these humans, the weakest one was a three-star Grand Fighter! The man leading the group was even a five-star Fighting Spirit!
