Chapter 166 The Third Fragment of the Map!
Medusa remained silent, and Xiao Feng knew that everything should be done in moderation, and that some things are best done in excess. Therefore, he did not take the initiative to talk to Medusa, and the two entered the treasure vault in silence.
"This is the treasure vault of the Snake People. All the treasures of the Snake People are kept here. Go find whatever you want." Medusa said calmly, looking at the dazzling array of treasures in front of her.
Upon hearing Medusa's words, Xiao Feng immediately teased, "So trusting? Aren't you afraid I'll plunder the snake-people's treasure trove?"
"Don't worry. With your strength, if you want to take what's here, no one can stop you. Besides, with your knowledge and strength, you probably wouldn't even look at what's here. If it weren't for searching for that tattered map, you probably wouldn't have come here."
Xiao Feng simply smiled and didn't answer. He knew Medusa must have some doubts about his actions, but there were some things that Medusa couldn't understand at the moment.
His soul power surged forth, searching through the treasure vault. In the process, Xiao Feng discovered many treasures and various strange and unusual items, but he ignored them all. Soon, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately withdrew his soul power, looking with a smile at a corner in the distance.
Walking forward, he pushed aside the clutter piled up in the corner and saw Xiao Feng take out a tattered ancient map from a crack.
Holding this very old and worn-out map in my hand, I cleaned off all the dust, and then the tattered map revealed its true appearance.
Looking at the ancient and rustic fragment in his hand; looking at the irregular stripes depicted on top; looking at the faint lotus pattern in the corner, Xiao Feng was certain that this was the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!
Putting away the fragment of the map, Xiao Feng turned and left. Medusa saw what Xiao Feng did, but said nothing, though she was still somewhat troubled.
She didn't know how Xiao Feng learned about such a fragment of a map; why he wanted to find it; or how he knew it was in the Tagor Desert. But this whole thing seemed strange, like a jumbled mess of lines that she couldn't unravel.
She'd been among the snake-people for so long and hadn't noticed this fragmented map. So who spread this message? What is its purpose? And why would a powerful figure like Xiao Feng care so much about it?
They traveled in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Xiao Feng was genuinely surprised that this fragment of map had appeared in the Serpent People's treasury, but he also understood its significance. It seemed that the map had originally been in the Serpent People's treasury; he just didn't know how Hai Bodong had obtained it.
Recalling the situation where Hai Bodong was chased by Medusa, there should be some connection between them, but none of that matters now. We have obtained the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, and that is enough!
Xiao Feng is now very popular among the snake people, especially after the four elders learned of his existence. In order to curry favor with Xiao Feng, the four elders even broke their vows and came out of seclusion again.
For the next period of time, Xiao Feng's main purpose in the Snake-People tribe was to get closer to Medusa, constantly teasing her, which left Medusa quite helpless. What was even more frustrating was that the four elders of the Snake-People tribe not only showed no displeasure, but on the contrary, seemed delighted by it, their desire to actively promote the relationship between the two making no attempt to hide it.
With Xiao Feng on the outside and the four elders on the inside, Medusa was tormented by both sides, but she was helpless against either of them and could only let things take their course.
"Isn't that enough?" Medusa looked at Xiao Feng with a helpless expression.
"Don't you understand my thoughts? Besides, the four elders also strongly agree with this, and don't you really feel anything at all?"
"You, you, humph!" Unable to refute, Medusa could only turn away in silence.
Xiao Feng was not flustered at all. This kind of situation had happened more than once or twice during this period. With his shameless spirit, he would tease Medusa almost every day. At first, Medusa would refute and even argue with Xiao Feng, but how could she win an argument with Xiao Feng in this matter?
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've surely seen pigs run. If Xiao Feng, with his memories of a past life, were to deliberately use flowery language, how could a mere Medusa possibly refute him? And how could she possibly accept it? Precisely because of this, Medusa quickly discovered this harsh reality, and over time, she stopped trying to refute him. She no longer responded to Xiao Feng's flirtatious remarks, pretending not to hear them. But what she truly thought in her heart, no one knows…
On this day, Medusa finally couldn't hold back any longer. She found Xiao Feng and asked him, "What were you thinking about your promise to help me complete the secret technique? Were you deceiving me?"
Hearing Medusa's words, Xiao Feng replied with a smile, "Of course not. I've been waiting for you all along, waiting for you to prepare everything. For me, it can be done at any time."
Just as Xiao Feng said, his biggest worry now is that the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map has been obtained. As a result, he doesn't need to worry about this matter causing any changes. Therefore, he can accompany Medusa whenever she wants to perform this secret technique.
He had his own reasons for not speaking up first. After all, it would seem like he was being too eager if he spoke up first. On the contrary, it would be more advantageous for him if the Medusa tribe took the initiative to make the request and he passively accepted.
"Phew!" Medusa breathed a long sigh of relief, suppressing the inexplicable anger rising in her heart, and continued, "Alright, then I want to do it now."
"I'm available anytime, but are you really ready? Have you really thought it through? Although I can help you and increase your chances of success, this matter is extremely risky. No one can predict what will happen, and if we fail, the consequences are unimaginable." After hearing Medusa's answer, Xiao Feng asked with a serious expression.
