In the vast desert, sandstorms raged.

Lin Feng carefully shielded Qing Lin behind him as they slowly pushed forward against the wind and sand.

As they advanced, the fierce wind blowing head-on carried fine grains of sand that struck their faces painfully.

The endless sand forced Lin Feng to constantly circulate his Dou Qi, forming a faint membrane of Dou Qi over his face.

Only then could he avoid having his face ruined by the sandstorm.

The yellow sand beneath their feet had been baked by the blazing sun until it felt like scorching little iron pellets.

Every step made one feel as though they were walking through flames.

Looking out at the boundless desert ahead, Lin Feng could not help but frown.

He had originally thought the environment of the Tagor Desert would not be much different from the desert he had traveled through before.

Only after arriving did he realize that the conditions for survival here were far harsher than in the desert he had crossed previously.

Though he had considered using the Purple Cloud Wings to travel, the Tagor Desert was similar to the Monster Mountain Range.

Large numbers of mercenaries came here to hunt Magical Beasts, and Flying Dou Skills consumed an enormous amount of Dou Qi.

After weighing everything, he gave up on using the Purple Cloud Wings.

Still, although the desert's environment was exceptionally harsh,

the Fire Attribute energy contained within it was also remarkably dense.

Perhaps because of the relentless sun, if one considered Fire Attribute energy alone, this place was nearly even richer than the Small Valley in the Monster Mountain Range.

Moreover, the Fire Attribute energy here was especially pure and domineering.

For Fire Attribute Dou Practitioners, this could also be considered an excellent place to cultivate.

Lifting her gaze from the map, Qing Lin looked at the young man's somewhat lean yet exceptionally reassuring back.

After spacing out for a moment, she adjusted the cloth protective gear covering her face and reminded him, "Young Master, according to the map, once we cross the sand dune beneath our feet, we will reach the habitat of a Second-tier Desert Rock Snake."

"Are we almost there?"

Lin Feng softly muttered as he looked toward the top of the dune not far away.

Then, seeing Qing Lin breathing slightly heavily behind him and remembering that she only had seven stages of Dou Power, he pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's rest first. We'll continue in a while."

With that, Lin Feng sat down heavily on the dune and began to conserve his strength.

A short while later, the rested pair rose and continued onward.

Before long, they reached the crest of the sand dune.

They hid behind the dune, exposing only their heads as they observed a patch of flat ground below.

There was a cave there, more than a meter wide.

Since it was currently noon, the Second-tier Desert Rock Snake within had already crawled out of its cave and was lying on the sand, basking in the sun.

"Wait here for me."

As he spoke, a layer of crimson Dou Qi Gauze Robe appeared around Lin Feng's body.

Then he exerted strength through his legs and shot forward, charging directly toward the Second-tier Magical Beast.

The rock snake had clearly noticed the disturbance behind it and hurriedly turned its head.

Its pair of gray vertical pupils narrowed slightly as it viciously glared at the rapidly approaching enemy.

"Crimson Fire Palm!"

As Lin Feng unleashed his Dou Skill, the Desert Rock Snake sensed the incoming threat and refused to be outdone.

Its tail lashed fiercely, carrying immense force as it struck violently toward Lin Feng.

When the two collided, the gusts produced swept rapidly in all directions, violently flinging the sand on the ground into the air.

The countless grains of sand obstructed Qing Lin's vision, preventing her from seeing what was happening within.

After worrying for a while, she finally relaxed when the dust settled.

Lin Feng was now gripping the snake's tail in his left hand, violently twisting and pulling it beside the Desert Rock Snake's head.

Its head, meanwhile, was firmly pinned down by Lin Feng's right hand, leaving its entire body unable to move.

"Qing Lin, come over."

Lin Feng called out to Qing Lin nearby.

Hearing Lin Feng's call, Qing Lin hurriedly ran over.

When she arrived, she glanced fearfully at the vicious Desert Rock Snake before her.

"Can you do it?"

Lin Feng asked as he looked at Qing Lin's expression.

Thinking that Young Master needed her help now, Qing Lin nodded firmly.

Walking to the Desert Rock Snake's head, Qing Lin concentrated.

Her pair of translucent jade-green eyes, like green jade crystals, stared intently into the snake's pupils.

"Ah!"

Not long afterward, Qing Lin suddenly threw back her head and let out a high, piercing scream.

As the shrill cry rang out, three small green dots abruptly appeared beside Qing Lin's jade-green pupils.

The three green dots that appeared this time did not require careful inspection to become visible as they had before.

At this moment, they were especially eye-catching within her eyes.

Moreover, Lin Feng noticed that the three green dots resembled three tiny flower buds.

Her scream remained sharp enough to pierce the clouds, and amid the increasingly resounding cry,

the three green dots in Qing Lin's pupils suddenly blazed with ghostly light.

In an instant, they transformed into three exceedingly tiny green flowers.

As these strange green flowers emerged, an intense ghostly light suddenly shot out from them, enveloping the Desert Rock Snake before her.

As it was illuminated by that bizarre ghostly light, the Desert Rock Snake's massive body suddenly stiffened.

Its vertical pupils stared at the little girl before it with a trace of terror.

The strange ghostly light slowly moved across the Desert Rock Snake's body before finally stopping at the center of its forehead.

Once the ghostly light stopped moving, it began to slowly shrink.

Yet as its range grew smaller and smaller, the light it contained became increasingly brilliant.

The range of the ghostly light continued shrinking until it was only about the size of a palm.

Once it had shrunk to that size, it stopped shrinking further.

With another burst of ghostly light, two tiny green flowers were imprinted upon the Desert Rock Snake's head.

After the flowers appeared, the ghostly light gradually began to fade.

A moment later, the tiny flowers in Qing Lin's pupils swiftly receded.

In an instant, her eyes returned to their usual jade-green...

Once her eyes returned to normal, Qing Lin's body swayed, and her eyelids gradually drooped.

A moment later, she finally collapsed to the ground.

Seeing Qing Lin faint, Lin Feng could no longer spare any attention for the Desert Rock Snake and hurried to her side.

After picking her up and examining her, he found that Qing Lin was merely exhausted, and he finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

He then took out a Healing Pill and placed it into Qing Lin's little mouth.

Taking out a waterskin from his Storage Ring, he poured in a small mouthful of water to help her swallow it.

Only after doing all this did he look up at the Desert Rock Snake.

At this moment, it stood foolishly frozen in place.

However, whenever its gaze swept over Qing Lin on the ground,

the viciousness and ferocity it had displayed would involuntarily vanish at once.

In their place was a sense of gentleness...
