The Serpent-People's royal city, usually shrouded in yellow sand, was now filled with clamor, a far cry from its usual tranquility. Joyful sounds echoed everywhere.
Countless Serpent-People were running around, taking out all the storage rings in their tribe and collecting everything in sight. Queen Medusa's breakthrough to the Dou Zong realm, and her effortless acquisition of a suitable habitat for the Serpent-People, had brought immense jubilation to the entire tribe.
Furthermore, at Queen Medusa's behest, the Serpent-People planned to relocate entirely, establishing their homeland in the Magical Beast Mountains. Their palace in the desert would be permanently buried there.
On the city wall, Lin Feng and Cai Lin surveyed the scene, while Zi Yan frowned slightly. "These two seem rather strange!"
"Lin Feng, what are your plans now?" After a wondrous night, the aloof Queen Medusa seemed to soften before Lin Feng. Before Lin Feng, she was simply Cai Lin.
"Cai Lin, once I've finished refining all the pills for the Jia Ma Empire, I might have to return to Canaan Academy." Seeing that Cai Lin's expression seemed a little unpleasant, Lin Feng added.
"However, Zi Yan is about to advance to Dou Huang soon, and the Snake-People have just relocated, so they must have many things to do. I definitely need to stay and help you."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Cai Lin's expression softened, and she smiled slightly, a smile that was captivating.
Time is like a desert wind, unpredictable, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, a large group of Snake-People emerged from the desert in a mighty procession, their powerful auras causing the magical beasts along the way to retreat far away.
When they passed through cities like Stone Desert City, they inevitably attracted the attention of the people in the cities. Seeing so many Snake-People moving out together, especially the many figures at the head radiating powerful auras,
there were countless Great Dou Masters, and even the city lord sensed the auras of many Dou Spirits and even Dou Kings. Within the carriage emanated several unfathomable auras, causing even the city lord, a mere Douling cultivator , to tremble with fear.
If not for prior orders to refrain from harming the Snake-People, the city lord would have considered surrendering the city to save his life.
Not only the city lord, but the residents of Stone Desert City dared not even breathe loudly. After all, Stone Desert City bordered the desert, and its relationship with the Snake-People was one of sworn enmity, with countless lives lost in the conflict.
Fortunately, the Snake-People were overjoyed; not a single one paid attention to Stone Desert City, their eyes fixed on the still undiscovered Demonic Beast Mountain Range in the distance.
For years, they had suffered terribly in the scorching desert, and given the Snake-People's inherently cold and yin nature, countless lives had been lost.
Now, Her Majesty the Queen had advanced to the Douzong realm and, through negotiation, had secured this suitable living space for her people without bloodshed. In the eyes of many Snake-People, she was now the most prestigious Snake-People Queen in history. Even the most stubborn elders now obeyed the Queen's orders without question, never objecting.
Looking at the most magnificent of the many carriages, the snake-people's eyes were filled with fervor, as if they were seeing a god.
Thinking of Lin Feng, who had brought all this to the forefront, the snake-people were filled with gratitude. Sometimes, seeing Lin Feng standing with the Queen in human form, many snake-people, especially a few lewd elders, even considered giving them some of their ancestral secret medicine. They were confident that even Lin Feng, a sixth-grade alchemist, wouldn't be able to escape the snake-people's clutches.
Perhaps it was some strange rule on this Dou Qi Continent, but those mentioned would shiver. Inside the magnificent carriage ahead, Lin Feng was chatting with Cai Lin and Zi Yan. Suddenly, both Lin Feng and Cai Lin shivered.
Shaking his head, Lin Feng felt a little strange. Ever since arriving in the snake-people's territory, he had been shivering, especially after helping Cai Lin advance to the Dou Zong level. "It seems I need to refine some strengthening pills."
"Cai Lin, Elder Jia once asked me to refine two Breakthrough Pills. If he and the royal guardian beast both advance to the Dou Zong realm, and I return to Canaan Academy then, he might have second thoughts." Lin Feng paused, looking at Cai Lin's thoughtful expression, and smiled slightly.
"However, judging from my success rate in refining pills, these six portions of herbs, besides the two I promised Elder Jia, should yield one or two more. Then we can leave the remaining Breakthrough Pills to the Snake-People."
"Lin Feng, thank you." At this moment, Cai Lin's expression finally changed slightly, showing some emotion.
"Do we need to say all this? I was hoping that after a new Dou Zong advances in the Snake-People, you could accompany me to Canaan Academy." Lin Feng chuckled, looking at Cai Lin with tenderness. This affectionate gaze made Cai Lin blush slightly, turning her head away shyly.
"Lin Feng, Sister Cai Lin, are you hiding something from me? You've been acting so strangely these past few days!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Zi Yan could no longer suppress her suspicions. These two had been acting like the demonic beasts in heat she had seen in the mountains when she was a child.
"Adult matters are none of a child's business. Do
n't pry." Lin Feng didn't give Zi Yan a friendly look for interrupting his good time and waved his hand slightly.
"What? You stinky Lin Feng, how dare you talk to me like that? See how I deal with you!" As soon as she finished speaking, she pounced on Lin Feng, knocking him down onto the carriage.
She pinched Lin Feng's cheek with her small hands, pretending to pinch him hard, "Hmph, do you know you're wrong now?"
Cai Lin, who was watching the two of them playfully fighting, didn't stop them. However, she wasn't naturally fond of physical activity, so she didn't join in, just sitting to the side and watching with a smile.
After some playful banter, Miss Zi Yan finally succumbed to Lin Feng's pill offensive, sitting quietly to the side and eating her pills, looking every bit like a little princess.
After several days of rapid migration, even the longest distance was covered. Early one morning, after a night's rest, the Snake-People set off again towards the distant, faintly visible, vast Demonic Beast Mountain Range.
Before long, the excited Snake-People finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. There, many noble figures from the Jia Ma Empire were already waiting. With Lin Feng's promised Breakthrough Pill, both sides were in high spirits.
"Hahaha, Snake-People, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Seeing the many carts slowly appear, Jia Xingtian, the leader, smiled and stroked his beard.
