Roadside Encounter with Yue Mei
Before leaving the Xiao Family, Xiao Ming specifically sought out the Amethyst Winged Lion King and asked him if he wanted to go out with him.
Xiao Ming promised to refine Form Transformation Pill for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but he hasn't succeeded yet.
Therefore, this situation has arisen. If the Amethyst Winged Lion King has been by Xiao Ming's side, he can naturally help him refine the Form Transformation Pill as soon as it becomes available.
After much hesitation, the Amethyst Winged Lion King refused, stating that his strength couldn't keep up with Xiao Ming and the others' growth, and that he would rather stay with the Xiao Family like Xue Tian.
Xiao Ming didn't say anything about the Amethyst Winged Lion King's choice, but left him a Form Transformation Grass before quietly leaving the Xiao Family with Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan.
The Xiao Family was located in the Northeast Province, and the journey from the Xiao Family to the Black Mountain Fortress was not too far for Xiao Ming and his group.
Three figures streaked across the sky like shooting stars, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye. Even those who occasionally looked up at the sky could only catch a glimpse of those fleeting streaks of light.
Flying through the sky, Xiao Ming and his companions saw many border residents fleeing to the Northeast Province.
Clearly, many people are pessimistic about the current situation in the Jia Ma Empire, given that the Three Empires Alliance is simply too powerful.
The Jia Ma Empire is currently too weak, and it is said that Xiao Ming, the strongest person in the Jia Ma Empire, has also left. The timing of the Chu Yun Empire is too clever, which makes people feel powerless.
On the vast, desolate plain, sparsely populated, suddenly a faint whooshing sound echoed in the sky. Three streaks of light flashed by, then abruptly stopped just as they appeared, revealing three figures—two large and one small—in the sky.
"What's wrong?" Zi Yan asked in confusion when she saw Xiao Ming suddenly stop. He was flying just fine a moment ago, so why did he stop?
"It seems like I've run into someone I know..."
Xiao Ming smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on the eastern part of the plain. After a brief hesitation, his Soul Perception surged forth from between his brows like a tidal wave, instantly taking in the situation in the distance.
"An acquaintance?" A hint of curiosity appeared in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes.
"They're from the Snake People Race. As for who they are, you'll find out soon enough."
Xiao Ming quickly withdrew his Soul Perception and could clearly see that the person in the distance was a Dou Wang expert from the Snake People Race, who was rushing towards them.
Xiao Ming had met many Snake People Race, but only a few of them felt familiar to him.
Yue Mei was extremely anxious at this moment. She had never imagined that she would be so desperately rushing across the land of the Jia Ma Empire.
The reason she acted this way was naturally because the Snake People Race were in a critical situation.
It's important to know that the Chu Yun Empire's first target wasn't the Jia Ma Empire, but the Snake People Race.
The Snake People Race is in dire straits, suffering heavy losses. To cope with the enemy's powerful figures, the Four Great Elders, who were originally in Secluded Cultivation, overused Secret Technique and were all severely injured. Queen Medusa is on the verge of death, and the Bald Great Commander was killed at the Misty Cloud Sect.
It can be said that the Snake People Race now has virtually no Dou Emperor level combat power.
If the Chu Yun Empire hadn't focused its efforts on the Jia Ma Empire, it's hard to say what the Snake People Race's situation would be like now.
"Damn the Chu Yun Empire, I'll get my revenge sooner or later." Yue Mei's wings flapped rapidly, hoping to reach Black Mountain Fortress as quickly as possible.
She went to Black Mountain Fortress to discuss an alliance with the people of the Jia Ma Empire. Yue Mei wasn't afraid of being rejected. Now that the Snake People Race were suffering, the Jia Ma Empire was suffering even more.
Only by joining forces can they have a chance of survival.
As long as humans provide healing pills, their Dou Emperor elders can quickly recover from their injuries, and the situation will not be too passive in the future.
"If Xiao Ming, the strongest man in the Jia Ma Empire, hadn't left, Her Majesty the Queen might have been saved." A heavy feeling washed over Yue Mei as she thought of Her Majesty the Queen's injuries, which were being managed with Secret Technique.
Shaking her head to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts, Yue Mei pondered what to say once she arrived at Black Mountain Fortress, but failed to notice the three hidden yet powerful Aura ahead.
By the time she realized it, the two were very close, and she could already see each other's figures with the naked eye.
Upon spotting Xiao Ming and his two companions, Yue Mei hesitated slightly before continuing to fly until she reached them and stopped.
Looking at Yue Mei, who possessed a bewitching figure and alluring beauty, Xiao Ming smiled faintly.
"Commander Yue Mei, what a coincidence! Your route leads to Black Mountain Fortress?"
Upon hearing the sound and looking over, Yue Mei saw Xiao Ming's handsome face, which was different from the ugly face of the male Snake-People. Yue Mei beautiful eyes widened, and she gasped in surprise.
Xiao Ming?!
Didn't you leave the Jia Ma Empire?
Xiao Ming shook his head.
You haven't answered my question yet.
"Yes, I wanted to go to Black Mountain Fortress to seek Alliance." Yue Mei realized what was happening, and then her eyes lit up with surprise. She had just been talking about Xiao Ming, and now Xiao Ming had appeared. Perhaps there was still a chance for the Queen's situation to turn around.
Gritting her teeth, Yue Mei made up her mind and said, "We implore Master Xiao Ming to help our Snake People Race this time. Our Snake People Race will repay you."
"Help your Snake People Race?" Xiao Ming frowned upon hearing this, then relaxed.
"Is it because of the Chu Yun Empire? Didn't Queen Medusa return to the Snake People Race? With your Dou Emperor elders, even if you can't defeat the Chu Yun Empire, defending it for a while shouldn't be a problem. And with me here, the Chu Yun Empire won't be able to cause trouble for long." Xiao Ming didn't have a bad impression of Yue Mei, so he said a few more words.
"Well... to be honest, our Snake People Race has suffered heavy losses. We've lost all our Battle Dou Emperor level warriors, Her Majesty the Queen... sigh, I just want to ask you to help heal Her Majesty the Queen and the elders."
Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, Yue Mei thought of the current predicament of the Snake People Race, and her expression turned grim.
Upon hearing Yue Mei say that Medusa Yan was in trouble, Little Zi Yan, who had been calm, became tense and ran to Yue Mei's side, asking anxiously.
What happened to Medusa?
Yue Mei was taken aback by Zi Yan's actions. What was going on? Why was this little girl in such a hurry?
But Yue Mei quickly realized her mistake and didn't dwell on the issue. Instead, she replied truthfully, "The Queen's condition is not good right now; she's only being kept alive by Secret Technique."
"Ah?!" Zi Yan's face lit up upon hearing this, then she looked at Xiao Ming with a pitiful expression.
"Xiao Ming..."
Xiao Ming, however, was lost in thought.
Seeing Xiao Ming's attitude, Yue Mei panicked a little.
To be honest, Xiao Ming's appearance here is a mixed blessing for the Snake People Race.
If Xiao Ming agrees to help the Snake People Race, that would be good. If he doesn't, then according to Xiao Ming, the problems of the Chu Yun Empire will be resolved quickly.
The Snake People Race's current problem is naturally solved, but only temporarily.
With Xiao Ming's Jia Ma Empire might not necessarily Alliance with the Snake People Race. In that case, the Snake People Race, whose main fighting force has not yet recovered from their injuries, will face annihilation.
Yue Mei wasn't stupid. Realizing this possibility, she hardened her heart and said, "I know our Snake People Race has offended Master Xiao Ming in the past. To express our apology, I... I can become your slave after this is done."
"Oh, this..."
