Chapter 143 Stone Desert City
But how big were her pockets? There were only two in total, so even if she were allowed to put them in, she couldn't fit many coins in them. Soon, Little Fairy Doctor realized this problem, but she couldn't change it. She could only sit on top of the gold coins, puffing out her cheeks and sulking inwardly. Her appearance was truly adorable.
Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's appearance, Xiao Feng's smile deepened. His memories of Little Fairy Doctor were mostly of coldness and pity, but he never expected that her childhood would be so interesting. At least in his eyes, this was what a real child should be like!
"Perhaps it was my arrival that unintentionally caused some changes in Little Fairy Doctor."
"If it weren't for my appearance, she would have gone through countless hardships to reach where she is now," Xiao Feng couldn't help but think to himself.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry anymore. Here, this is for you." Xiao Feng said softly to Little Fairy Doctor, while taking out a storage ring and handing it to her.
Seemingly having gotten to know Xiao Feng better, Little Fairy Doctor was no longer as shy as before. Holding the storage ring in her hand, she asked again, "Big brother, what is this?"
"This is a storage ring. It has a lot of space inside, enough to put all these gold coins in. However, since you haven't started cultivating yet, you only need to drip a drop of blood to make it yours."
"Drip blood! No, no!" Upon hearing these two words, Little Fairy Doctor, who had been playing with her storage ring, immediately threw it away, as if it were a raging flood or a ferocious beast.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng was both amused and exasperated. Little Fairy Doctor was truly unaware of her good fortune. This was a top-grade storage ring, with a space of millions of square meters! If it were to be purchased with money, it would be an astronomical price!
Yet, Little Fairy Doctor casually tossed away such a precious storage ring that countless people would covet. If others knew this, they would surely be heartbroken and angrily curse, "What a spendthrift! What a spendthrift!"
If he didn't accept the ring, then Little Fairy Doctor naturally couldn't take this pile of gold coins with her either. And so, Xiao Feng forcibly led him out of the stone chamber.
After leaving the stone chamber, Xiao Feng carved out another stone door deep within the cliff and placed it in the original location of the first stone door. He also left a small mechanism so that later visitors could use it to open the door. As for the gold coins, medicinal herbs, and fighting techniques inside the stone chamber, Xiao Feng left them all there without touching them.
...
The Tagor Desert is the largest desert in the Gama Empire, its vastness seemingly endless, a sea of yellow sand as far as the eye can see. And within this desert lives a very special race—the Snake People.
The Snake-People are a special race of magical beasts, but they are not entirely the same as magical beasts. Their appearance is that of a human head and a snake body. Before their strength breaks through to the Dou Zong realm, unless they take a Transformation Pill, they cannot conjure up legs and walk normally like humans.
As members of the snake-people race, possessing the bloodline of snake-people, the cold and gloomy lands are the snake-people's favorite living environment. The Tagor Desert is extremely rich in fire and earth elemental energies, and can be described as exceptionally hot. Fire and earth elemental cultivators can achieve the effect of one day being equivalent to ten days of cultivation here!
However, this was a tremendous torment for the snake-people race, who naturally preferred cold and shady environments. Their efforts to improve their strength here were extremely slow. This place not only failed to provide them with any assistance, but instead restricted their development.
It was for this reason that the snake people attacked the Gama Empire time and again, attempting to occupy a territory suitable for their own habitation. However, the Gama Empire had many powerful figures, including several Dou Huang level experts, while the snake people only had Queen Medusa, who was at the peak of the Dou Huang level. Although she was powerful, she could not achieve her goal when faced with a huge numerical disadvantage, and in the end, she could only continue to live in the Tagor Desert.
During their attack on the Gama Empire, the Serpent People naturally suffered casualties; both sides were bound to experience losses.
This is why snake people and humans hate each other. Humans resent the snake people for attacking the city and for slaughtering their relatives and companions.
The snake people harbor deep-seated hatred for humans, not only because of their blood feud but also because they resent being driven to this desolate Tagor Desert and forced to live there. As a result, the hatred between the two races has penetrated to the bone!
The Tagor Desert belongs to the Snake People. Humans must be extremely careful when walking or traveling in the Tagor Desert, otherwise they will only face death if they are discovered by the Snake People!
Recently, a strange sight appeared in the Tagor Desert: a young man with a child appeared in the Tagor Desert!
These two were naturally Xiao Feng and Little Fairy Doctor. After leaving the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Feng headed to his next destination. He didn't want his arrival to cause too much of a commotion and bring about any unknown changes, so he set the exit of the spatial wormhole in the Tagor Desert.
Everyone who saw this strange combination of the two was shocked. Of course, after the shock, they felt a pang of regret. In their eyes, Xiao Feng and his companion must be young masters from big families who were new to the world and had no idea of the cruelty of the world. If they were discovered by the snake people, they would surely die!
Snake people won't give up on their children just because they have them. To them, all humans are treated equally, except for those they can't defeat!
Although it was hot in the Tagor Desert, Little Fairy Doctor, protected by Xiao Feng's fighting spirit, obviously didn't feel it. The two of them walked on and on towards the Stone Desert City not far away.
Xiao Feng still had some vague impressions of Stone Desert City. Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, had two sons who would later leave the family and establish the Desert Iron Mercenary Group here. They also provided a lot of help for Xiao Yan in his search for the Strange Flame. However, Xiao Zhan's two sons, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, were only teenagers at the time, and it was still a long way off for all of that.
Besides that, the most important person, and the one who left a deep impression on Xiao Feng, was Qing Lin!
Xiao Feng came here this time mainly to find Qing Lin! Qing Lin is a human born from the hybridization of snake people and humans. Because she has some snake people's bloodline, she is hated by humans. However, what is unusual is that she was born with a special physique that is one in ten thousand - the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.
