"... Something's not right."

Medusa followed the flow of the underground magma river, relentlessly pursuing any trace of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

After chasing her for a while, her speed gradually slowed down, and I felt a strange, inexplicable feeling about it.

The power of these Green Lotus Core Flame remained faintly visible along the way, so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

At first, she thought it was bait deliberately left by Qin Yu, but the more she pursued it, the more she felt something was wrong; the bait shouldn't be like this.

Such a faint scent, rather than being a deliberately left mark, seems more like something that was unintentionally picked up.

She carefully sensed the lava and soon detected a familiar fluctuation of Dou Qi, her expression immediately darkening.

This should be a trace left by Qin Yu when he used the power of the Green Lotus Core Flame to fight against her, rather than a bait deliberately left behind.

"Not this direction..."

Medusa frowned. If Qin Yu hadn't taken the underground river, where was he?

As soon as she thought of it, the clone that remained in the cave responded.

Since she left, the lava pool has remained as calm as ever.

No new aura appeared, no new energy fluctuations, nothing at all.

Medusa's vertical pupils narrowed slightly.

Something's not right. Something's definitely not right.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned around and flew back.

When she returned to the Earth Core Cavern, the surrounding energy had gradually stabilized.

She looked up at the hole blasted open above her, reached out and touched it, sensing a faint fluctuation of Dou Qi.

I see.

Qin Yu was right here, right in front of her.

After being bombarded by the Fire Lotus, she was misled by Qin Yu and subconsciously assumed that the hole was a byproduct of the explosion, so she didn't even glance at it.

Then, he chased after Qin Yu headlong in the wrong direction, managing to let Qin Yu slip away right under his nose.

After figuring all this out, Medusa stood there, her alluring face displaying a complex mix of emotions.

"... Wait."

She squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, then quickly rushed out of the Earth Core Cavern.

Want her Medusa to admit defeat? Impossible!

Medusa found the nearest Snake-People Tribe. When her figure landed in the center of the tribe, the patrolling Snake People guards were stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt down.

"Your Queen!"

"Issue my order."

Medusa's gaze swept over her kneeling tribespeople, and she said in an icy tone:

"Gather all available personnel and find me a human, male, with black hair, Seven-Star Da Dou Shi cultivation level, and the aura of Heavenly Flames."

"Once found, do not act rashly. Report the location immediately. The tribe that provides accurate clues will be richly rewarded by the king."

After a pause, she added:

"Pass the intelligence to all the tribes and tell them to search for him! Search every inch of the Tagor Desert and find this man for me!"

The desert's underground rivers are intricate and complex, Medusa doesn't believe that Qin Yu had planned his escape route in advance.

This escape plan must have been something Qin Yu came up with on the spur of the moment during her standoff with Qin Yu.

So after leaving that cave, Qin Yu probably didn't even know his exact location.

After figuring out the whole logic, Medusa became increasingly frustrated, and even lost interest in the delicious food served to her by her servants.

If I hadn't been in such a hurry and had stayed a little longer, Qin Yu's pretense would have fallen apart on its own.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

Qin Yu was able to escape because he understood her mindset at that moment.

"Human... Hmph, I'll remember you!"

On the other side, just as Medusa had predicted, Qin Yu himself had no idea where he was.

However, Medusa did not expect that as soon as Qin Yu came out, he saw a human city in the distance.

He flapped his Purple Cloud Wings and flew straight toward the city in the distance.

Regardless of which city, let's get to human territory first.

The flight took several hours, and it wasn't until dusk that he finally arrived at the city and saw the name engraved on the city wall.

Poison City

Qin Yu frowned slightly. A city could be called that...?

When he saw several people at the city gate wearing gray robes and badges of poison masters on their chests, a somewhat amusing guess came to his mind.

Good heavens, they actually fled to another country!

But upon closer reflection, he realized that since he emerged from an underground lava river, he couldn't discern his direction.

Chu Yun Empire and the Jia Ma Empire are so close, it doesn't seem so far-fetched that he flew directly from the desert into the Chu Yun Empire.

"Never mind."

Since we're already here, let's make the best of it Chu Yun Empire Chu Yun Empire is then. I'll rest for a few days and then head back.

However, there are poison masters everywhere here, so be careful.

Fortunately, having traveled with Xiao Yi Xian for so long, Qin Yu was no stranger to poisons, and he still had quite a few antidotes that Xiao Yi Xian had prepared for him in his Storage Ring.

As long as you don't encounter some old, highly toxic substances, dealing with them shouldn't be a problem.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu retracted his Purple Cloud Wings, landed on the ground, and prepared to first make his way to the Poison City ahead.

"Stop!"

Just as Qin Yu arrived at the city gate, he was suddenly stopped by a guard captain.

"Entry fee"

The guard captain extended his hand directly to Qin Yu Qin Yu, who glanced at the few people who had already passed through normally and chuckled.

"What, others aren't charged, but I, an outsider, have to pay an entry fee?"

Unexpectedly, when faced with Qin Yu's questioning, the guard captain nodded as if it were perfectly natural, while the locals from the Chu Yun Empire beside him showed disdain on their faces.

A naive like Qin Yu is exactly the kind of kid these city gate guards love to kill.

Anyway, you're from out of town, unfamiliar with the area. You wouldn't dare to kill someone outright, would you?

"OK."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's first word, the guard captain's lips curled into a smile, already calculating in his mind how much money he should fleece Qin Yu.

But the next second, a fist pierced straight through the guard captain's chest.

"You..."

"Since you all share this attitude, then I have no burden."

Qin Yu withdrew his arm and, before the crowd at the city gate could react, dropped a Fire Lotus before flapping his wings and taking flight.

No wonder Xiao Yan rubs it every day, this thing really works!

Seeing that the Fire Lotus was about to explode, the onlookers and the remaining guards hurriedly fled.

With a deafening roar, those who hadn't run far were instantly thrown back by the immense impact, leaving a huge crater at the city gate.

The survivors looked at each other in bewilderment. Who was this person? Why leave without leaving a bomb?

"Phew... that way, those people shouldn't pay too much attention to the city."

At this moment, Qin Yu did not leave. On the contrary, he had quietly entered the Poison City, stood on the street corner, and rubbed his temples with his thumb.

Just now, when he arrived at the foot of Poison City, his Innate Treasure-Seeking Body sent out a strong sensation.

There are treasures in this city.
