In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and Little Fairy Doctor became increasingly proficient in the use of flight Dou Techniques.

However, compared to the flight speed of the Blue Eagle and Wu Yong, she flew much slower.

In the end, she still had to let Wu Yong carry her while flying.

Because Wu Yong's flight speed was extremely fast, he could cover over ten thousand li in two hours, which maximized their time efficiency.

Even with the first-tier Blue Eagle in tow, it had no impact on Wu Yong's flight speed.

Over these past few days, while protecting Little Fairy Doctor during their flight, Wu Yong had already finished modifying a portion of the Amethyst Spirit Crystal.

He had divided that Amethyst Spirit Crystal evenly into ten pieces, each about the size of a chicken egg.

Now that four pieces of the Amethyst Spirit Crystal had been modified by Wu Yong, he wanted to test out their effectiveness.

Looking at the egg-sized crystal in her hand, where cyan and purple colors were perfectly intertwined, Little Fairy Doctor, who was sitting on the Blue Eagle, examined it with curiosity.

This was something Wu Yong had just given her, and he had said that although this item lacked powerful offensive capabilities and provided no direct help in combat.

Yet, if he were given the choice, he wouldn't even care for a Di-tier Dou Technique placed before him; he would only choose this crystal.

One minute after Wu Yong flew out, the crystal in Little Fairy Doctor's hand suddenly lit up, flickering with a cyan glow.

"Hello, hello, hello, can the little fairy hear me?"

"Ah Yong!? Is that you speaking?"

Little Fairy Doctor's face showed surprise as she carefully brought the crystal to her face and spoke into it.

Then, after a moment of thought, she held the crystal up to her ear.

The next second, Wu Yong's voice came through from the crystal.

"It's me. Your voice sounds truly lovely, little fairy."

"Ah Yong, your voice sounds lovely too. Where are you right now?"

"The distance between us right now is roughly fifty li."

"Fifty li, yet we can still talk normally? Ah Yong, you are truly amazing!"

Holding the crystal in her hand, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly understood why Wu Yong said he wouldn't trade this thing even for a Di-tier Dou Technique.

Such a miraculous treasure must have been created by Wu Yong himself; it was likely the only one of its kind on the Dou Qi Continent.

As expected of her Ah Yong, he was simply incredible!

After several hours of testing, Wu Yong and Little Fairy Doctor determined the general capabilities of the Wind Message Spirit Crystal.

There was no limit to the distance for transmitting messages, just as Wu Yong had originally intended when he created it; even if they were separated by thousands of li, the information could still be transmitted, as the wind would help him.

However, once the distance between the two parties exceeded a thousand li, there would be a certain amount of delay in their communication.

Furthermore, as the distance increased, the delay time would grow longer.

"It doesn't matter, Ah Yong, this is already very good. It's your first time making one..."

Regarding the Wind Message Crystal that Wu Yong had crafted for the first time, Little Fairy Doctor stroked Wu Yong's hair as he lay on her lap, offering comfort.

This was a method of communication that had never appeared on the Dou Qi Continent before; it transcended distance, requiring nothing more than moving one's mouth.

It didn't even have a threshold for usage; even someone with only three stages of Dou Zhi Qi could use it to communicate with a Dou Huang powerhouse from thousands of li away.

As for having a tiny bit of time delay, that was perfectly normal.

"I understand, and this is the limit of what I can do for now. It will have to do; we'll just make do with it."

Wu Yong nodded, looking at the two remaining Wind Message Crystals in his hand, wondering who to give them to.

Seeing that Wu Yong was truly not discouraged by this, Little Fairy Doctor breathed a sigh of relief and gently stroked Wu Yong's short hair; this special sensation made her unable to help but reveal a smile.

A wave of heat rushed toward them, and the two, who were lying on the Blue Eagle hundreds of meters in the air, immediately sat up.

Looking down, they realized they had arrived at the Tagor Desert.

After flying over this desert for a while, Wu Yong looked at the Blue Eagle, which was already on the verge of exhaustion, and shook his head; a first-tier Magic Beast just wouldn't cut it.

"I'll carry you both; this place is too hot."

Before Wu Yong could finish his sentence, he sensed a tyrannical aura approaching them.

Leaving Little Fairy Doctor and the Blue Eagle to fly slowly behind, Wu Yong spread his cyan wings and rushed forward, carrying a massive gust of wind, leaving a trail of sonic boom clouds in his wake.

Watching those sonic boom clouds gradually dissipate, Little Fairy Doctor then urged the Blue Eagle to slowly catch up.

She was not worried about Wu Yong's safety; she had seen him handle that Amethyst Winged Lion King with her own eyes, so she was very confident in his strength.

Several kilometers away, the purple figure sensed that strange aura which, instead of retreating, was flying straight toward her. Her Dou Qi surged, and she charged forward with an equally unstoppable momentum.

The cyan and purple streams of light, carrying terrifying momentum, finally collided.

A fearsome storm swept across hundreds of meters in every direction, leaving countless marks upon the desert floor.

"Such a young Dou Wang?!"

"Queen Medusa?"

After the collision, the figure of Queen Medusa was revealed, a look of astonishment appearing on her bewitching face.

On the other side, Wu Yong frowned as he looked at this Queen Medusa. She was truly incomparably beautiful, even with a snake tail for a lower body.

What was terrifying was that, despite her distinctly feminine features, her physical constitution was on the level of a true Magic Beast.

Perhaps her current state could not compare to a Tier 6 Magic Beast, but she was not someone an ordinary human expert could contend with head-on.

Cannot engage in close-quarters combat.

As this thought crossed Wu Yong's mind, his battle blade fell into his hand.

At the same time, countless cyan wind blades lunged toward Queen Medusa.

On the other side, Medusa also manipulated the power of heaven and earth, forming a giant purple python that lunged toward the youth opposite her.

However, the moment that giant purple energy python made contact with the wind blades, it was shredded to nothing.

Medusa's figure flickered; as a peak nine-star Dou Huang, this was the first time she had lost to a Dou Wang in terms of energy manipulation.

Waving her hand again, a powerful Dou Qi erupted from Medusa's body, forcibly annihilating those wind blades.

Yet, the next moment, she saw Wu Yong swing out a cyan-black blade aura less than a zhang long, and her expression changed drastically!

The cyan-black blade aura left the blade, transforming into a streak of black light that seemed to traverse space, appearing before her in an instant.

Seeing that she was about to be cut in half, Medusa did not hesitate and made an instinctive reaction, revealing her hundred-meter-long purple snake body.

The cyan-black blade aura pierced through her snake body, leaving behind a bloodied hole a zhang wide.

But compared to her hundred-meter-long frame, this bloodied hole did not seem very significant.

Risking her injured body, Medusa still tried to bite the youth.

However, when she sensed the spatial fluctuations appearing above her head and looked up, Medusa's soul nearly left her body, and she felt as if her brain had exploded.

Seeing the youth's middle finger and ring finger about to part, Medusa immediately reverted to her Snake-Person form, clutched her bleeding abdomen, and turned into countless giant energy snakes, fleeing in all directions.

This was the highest-level escape technique of the Snake-Person Race, which had helped countless Snake-Person experts escape death.

However, Wu Yong was not in the slightest hurry; the wind would tell him which one was Queen Medusa.

He stared intently at the giant snakes diving into the desert to escape, raised his hand, aimed at her waist, and prepared to give her a bisection.

To turn Queen Medusa into one-half of a snake...

"Open!"

"Ah!"

Blood splattered, and Queen Medusa's scream rang out.

Medusa, her lower body severed, revealed her form, flying in the air in a miserable state, her face deathly pale as she looked at her severed snake tail.

Had Queen Medusa not erupted with astonishing speed at the critical moment, she would have been cut in half, though she still failed to escape this Space Slash from Wu Yong.

Furthermore, her diversion technique had been interrupted and could not be used again for a short time; she was now injured on top of injuries, and the long-lost scent of death lingered in Queen Medusa's heart.

"Hmph, you ignorant fool!"

Wu Yong snorted coldly, his icy eyes locked tightly onto Medusa's neck, which had been flawless but was now inevitably stained with blood, giving her a strange, unique beauty.

As he raised his hand, the power of space emerged, and seeing that he was about to unleash another Space Slash, Queen Medusa closed her eyes as countless memories flooded her mind, her life flashing before her eyes.

The head, it's still too high.

Driven by the instinctual desire of a living being to survive, Medusa subconsciously lowered her head.

Her golden queen's crown was sliced in half and fell from the air; as Medusa lowered her head and looked at the half-crown lying in the sand, she bowed her head even lower.

The pride in the heart of the fierce Queen Medusa was completely shattered at this moment, vanishing without a trace.

Slowly, she descended beside her half-crown and knelt down.

Holding the half-crown in her hands, she pressed her head against the sand, signaling her submission to the youth in a posture of extreme humiliation.
