Qinglin looked at the enormous, fiery red demonic serpent. One of its heads was bigger than her entire body, and she felt that the two heads could tear her to shreds.
If it weren't for Brother Du Can using even more powerful methods to capture it, Qing Lin would never have dared to get this close under normal circumstances; it would probably have turned and run away upon seeing it.
"I mean, do you have a feeling that this snake is friendly, or a desire to conquer it?"
"Huh?" A question mark appeared on Qinglin's little head. "Brother Du Can, I don't feel that way."
"Well, it seems the timing isn't right yet."
Du Can casually stuffed the two-headed fire spirit snake back into the lava pool, then used the power of heaven and earth to cover it with a layer of soil, restoring the surrounding terrain to its original shape.
"Brother Du Can, is there a problem?"
When Qinglin saw that Du Can seemed a little disappointed, she immediately panicked and hurriedly asked him anxiously.
Du Can patted Qing Lin's head gently and said, "Qing Lin is still too young. When you're a little older, we'll let you try again, and you should be able to succeed."
"...What succeeded?"
"Successfully caught the snake! Now you can call yourself the snake-catching master, Orochimaru Uchiha, who can catch all kinds of snakes in the world!"
After hearing Du Can's somewhat nonsensical words, Qing Lin's mind was filled with even more questions. What snake-catching expert? What Orochimaru Uchiha? What her brother was saying was so strange; she couldn't understand a word he said.
But at least she knew that her brother Du Can wasn't looking down on her, but rather hoping that she would grow up quickly.
"Brother Du Can, I will definitely grow up quickly so that I can help you."
Qinglin made up her mind.
"Hmm, no need to rush. Qinglin can grow slowly, there's no need to hurry up. Adults have a lot of worries."
Du Can patted Qing Lin's head again.
Qinglin's spiritual power is probably not fully developed yet, which is why she is unable to awaken and utilize it. Moreover, in the original work, Qinglin only suddenly awakened the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil under the stimulation of being threatened with death.
Du Can felt there was no need to make Qing Lin feel threatened by death and then awaken the Jade Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.
Firstly, it's too painful and could easily leave a deep shadow on her still young mind.
Secondly, this is, after all, a modified Sharingan created by Tiancan Tudou. What if it has the side effect of awakening too early, which would put a huge burden on the body?
So there's no need to rush; he doesn't lack the meager combat power of the two-headed fire spirit snake.
As the blue scales grow, they will naturally awaken.
Or he could concoct some milder pills and have Qinglin consume a few pounds of them, which would surely awaken him.
Thinking of the elixir, he suddenly remembered Hai Bodong and the Breaking Calamity Pill. He also remembered that he seemed to need to help the other party find a few medicinal herbs.
"Hmm, I almost forgot about the important matter."
Although this may not seem like a serious matter, it wouldn't hurt to do this while everything else is already done.
However, the medicinal herbs that Hai Bodong needed were not easy to find. After all, they were herbs required for a sixth-grade elixir, extremely precious, and not something that could be found everywhere.
Du Can thought about it and decided that he should still go to the snake people's tribe to search for the medicinal herbs, because the places where the herbs were produced were deep in the desert, and the deep desert was the territory of the snake people.
Hai Bodong's slow progress in collecting medicinal herbs was mainly due to his fear of approaching the snake-people tribe and being discovered by Queen Medusa. Otherwise, with his strength, even if only one-tenth of the herbs remained, he would have collected them all long ago after so many years.
Come to think of it, doesn't he have a particularly close relationship with the Mittel family? Why doesn't he collect medicinal herbs through the Mittel family?
I guess people are too proud to bring this up.
After all, being beaten so badly is not a glorious thing. If an old friend finds out by accident, he will lose all face and dignity.
Du Can was speechless. Hai Bo had been hiding in that city for decades without moving, as if he was just waiting for Xiao Yan to come to him.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan happened to come by, and Hai Bodong happened to have the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map and the map of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame that he needed. The two became friends after a fight.
Fortunately, there was a good match, otherwise Hai Bodong would have had to wait in that city for the rest of his life.
"Brother Du Can, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking of someone who will be a regular bodyguard for other people."
Du Can made this comment.
Despite these complaints, since the gifts had already been received, the business still needed to be done.
Du Can, carrying Qing Lin, flew swiftly through the sky, heading deeper into the Tagor Desert.
The deeper you go into the Tagor Desert, the hotter it gets. The sand doesn't look like sand at all; it's more like iron filings that have been heated by fire, radiating an astonishing heat.
The earth was scorching hot, the air was unusually hot, and it was extremely humid when there was no wind. The climate was like hanging a duck in an oven to be cooked.
When it's windy, the wind blows and carries away all the moisture from a person's body, just like making dried meat.
In such an extreme environment, ordinary people simply cannot survive here; only the strong can live here.
However, even in such extreme environments, miracles can still happen.
Countless desert oases are scattered throughout the Tagor Desert, serving as green accents in the yellow landscape, providing water and nurturing life.
The snake people built their tribes around these oases.
Du Can then discovered an oasis where many snake people lived.
The strongest among them was a Fighting Spirit.
"That should do. We should be able to gather all the remaining medicinal herbs at once."
Chapter 123 The Confident Chief of the Snake-People Tribe
Du Can and his companion gradually approached the snake-people tribe.
He didn't try to hide anything and just flew straight over.
"What is that flying in the sky? Is it some kind of flying magical beast? Or is it a powerful member of my clan? Its aura feels somewhat unfamiliar."
Du Can's open and aboveboard approach immediately caught the attention of the snake-people's powerful figures flying in the sky.
At first, they were a bit far away, and those with poor eyesight mistook them for some kind of flying magical beast. But as they flew closer, the snake-people's experts immediately realized that they were two people!
The human race is completely hostile to the snake-people, and now two of them have actually run into their territory.
Are they coming to attack them?
"Oh no! Enemy attack!"
Some of the snake people immediately became alert and picked up their weapons to confront them head-on.
Because the Snake People live in such a harsh desert environment, they are basically a nation of soldiers in order to compete for limited resources. Everyone must fight to protect their tribe.
Upon hearing their people's cries, countless snake-people rushed out of their rooms, weapons in hand, ready to fight to the death.
"As a human, he can fly in the sky, and those are wings made of battle qi... Hiss... He must be a human Dou Wang level expert! This is troublesome, quickly go and invite the leader!"
Those with more experience could tell at a glance that the person flying in the sky was no ordinary person. They gasped in shock, making the already scorching environment even hotter, and then quickly shouted for help, urging others to fetch the leader.
"Hiss... It's actually a Dou Wang level expert! That's a strength that only the chieftains of the eight major tribes can achieve. Terrifying!"
When the others found out, they gasped in shock and immediately went to invite the chief of their small tribe.
After flying over the tribe, Du Can didn't rush down. Although with his current strength, obtaining what the tribe had to offer would be effortless, that would be banditry, and he didn't want to do it.
He waited for the other side to finish preparing, and then the strongest Dou Ling level expert appeared in the conspicuous open space.
"Chief, why don't you fly up and confront that guy?"
"Nonsense, if I could fly, I would have already soared into the sky. Why would I bother chatting with you guys?"
The leader cursed angrily.
He's a Dou Ling, not a Dou Wang. While high-level Dou Ling can briefly fly, he hasn't reached that level yet. Want to fly? Dream on!
He looked at the two people hovering in the air, not directly attacking, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Battle King, this is troublesome. With his current strength, it will be very difficult for him to defeat his opponent. He might even be defeated if he is not careful. He has to be more cautious."
Judging from their appearance, they haven't attacked directly yet, so they might want something from you. You can threaten them to make them leave.
If all else fails, he'll have no choice but to strike first, which should increase his chances of winning.
That's what the leader was thinking at that moment.
He seemed to have a strange confidence, as if he, with his low-level Dou Ling strength, could contend with experts above Dou Wang level.
In fact, he's not the only one with this. Many Battle Spirits and Battle Kings in the Gama Empire seem to share this mysterious self-confidence.
Dou Ling felt he could fight Dou Wang, and Dou Wang felt he could fight Dou Huang.
It felt like they thought they hadn't crossed a major realm, but rather the early, middle, or late stages of a certain major realm.
This is most likely a loophole that Tiancan Tudou (the author) designed in the early stages. He probably really divided the three realms of Dou Ling, Dou Wang, and Dou Huang into one major realm in the early, middle, and late stages.
This resulted in the fact that among the top ten experts in the Jia Ma Empire, apart from the first few who were Dou Huang, the rest were all Dou Wang.
Moreover, on the Dou Qi Continent, when fighting across borders, numbers can be used to suppress the enemy.
Several Dou Zhe together can contend with Dou Shi, several Dou Shi together can contend with Da Dou Shi, several Da Dou Shi together can contend with Dou Ling, several Dou Ling together can contend with Dou Wang, and several Dou Wang together can contend with Dou Huang.
According to this algorithm, wouldn't tens of thousands of fighters combined be able to directly contend with a Dou Huang?
The above is utter nonsense.
High-level Dou Ling can indeed resist low-level Dou Wang for a short time, but given this leader's low-level Dou Ling realm, it's best to forget about it.
Not to mention that Du Can is not a low-level Dou Wang at all, but a peak Dou Huang.
In the Tagor Desert, only Queen Medusa could rival him; the others were simply not up to the task.
"This powerful human, what brings you to my tribe? If there's nothing else, please leave immediately, or you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
The tribal chief spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and his tone even carried a slight threat.
He did indeed have this thought in his mind: to temporarily hold off Du Can with his own strength, and then have his clansmen invite a Dou Wang (Battle King) expert from the Snake-Man Clan to come over, and then join forces to take down Du Can.
As for being unable to stop the opponent, allowing them to escape easily, or even being killed by the opponent with a single punch.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The gap between a Battle Spirit and a Battle King is definitely not that big!
That's how people are on the Dou Qi Continent; they talk about victory first, never about defeat. They believe success is inevitable, and failure is absolutely impossible.
Du Can was also somewhat speechless. The prevailing custom on the Dou Qi Continent was to start by spouting trash talk. It wasn't considered polite if you didn't insult or threaten others.
