Chapter 222: Journey to Find Fire
In the endless desert, Xiao Zhen held in his hand the desert map he had bought, on which were marked the human cities within the Tagor Desert and the gathering places of the snake people.
Of course, when Xiao Zhen was buying the map, he did not meet Uncle Hai Bodong. This famous Douhuang powerful man is said to be carrying out some mission in the Mulan Empire. He is really hardworking and is worthy of being a role model of our generation.
"Hey, A Zhen, is there really the strange fire you mentioned around Shimo City?" Die can now use the Thousand Transformations Technique smoothly. Unless you use your soul power to check carefully, no one will know that she has a snake tail underneath her.
Xiao Zhen exhaled heavily, licked his lips, and replied: "Don't worry, don't you see who I am? How could I make a mistake in this matter!"
Die couldn't help but give Xiao Zhen a blank look. You said the same thing more than half a month ago, but until now, you still have nothing to show for it.
Xiao Zhen also felt helpless. Although his memory had greatly improved, it was impossible for him to remember everything.
In Xiao Zhen's impression, the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire was found in the underground magma around Shimo City.
Xiao Zhen looked at the instrument in his hand. It was a temperature measuring radar, a product of the mechanical beast world, and could measure temperature changes within a radius of 100 miles.
The temperature of the strange fire is much higher than that of magma. As long as it is not too far away, Xiao Zhen believes that the radar in his hand can detect any clues.
Xiao Zhen felt his mouth was dry and he couldn't help but gulp down a few gulps of water, which made him feel a little better.
"This horrible weather in the desert is so uncomfortable. Even I, who practices fire-attributed techniques, feel uncomfortable!" Xiao Zhen couldn't help but look at the hot environment and couldn't help complaining.
The last time I came to the Tagor Desert, there was Haibodong, that cool uncle. Now he is not treated so well.
"Humph!" Die suddenly put her hands on her waist and said angrily, "Now you know that the weather here is hot. We snake people are yin by nature and don't like this kind of environment. We are forced to this place by you humans!"
Xiao Zhen looked at Die who was complaining bitterly, and was afraid that she would continue talking, so a large piece of ice immediately appeared in his hand and he threw it directly into the woman's arms.
Die looked at the big ice cube in her arms and a happy smile appeared on her face. Although her clothes were soaked with water, she now felt cool all over and not so hot anymore.
Xiao Zhen looked at Die's satisfied expression, and a big ice cube appeared in his hand.
These large blocks of ice all came from the world of mechanical beasts. As the master of that world, Xiao Zhen could freely take out items from that world, so a few blocks of ice were naturally no problem.
Xiao Zhen couldn't help licking the ice in his arms, then looked at the broken radar in his hand and said impatiently:
"Is this thing broken? We haven't found the location of the extremely high temperature yet."
After thinking carefully about the original novel, Xiao Zhen had a bad idea.
Could it be that the blue lotus core fire has been taken away by Queen Medusa?
If that's the case, Xiao Zhen can only find a way to go to the snake people.
Just as Xiao Zhen and the other continued their search, they didn't know that an uninvited guest had followed them.
Queen Medusa was wearing a loose black robe and her face was covered with a mask. Her body was wrapped in a strange power and her aura was almost gone.
"What are Die and that kid doing? They actually ran from the imperial capital to the Tagor Desert." Queen Medusa crossed her arms and muttered a few words in confusion.
Queen Medusa and Die are twins, real sisters, and there is a faint connection between them.
Queen Medusa sensed early on that her sister Die had returned to the Tagor Desert, but she had some business to deal with at the time, so she didn't have time to come and see her.
Queen Medusa now suppresses her breath to the lowest level. Since she can sense the butterfly, the butterfly can also sense her conversely, so she has to be careful everywhere.
Queen Medusa has not yet dealt with some matters within the tribe. Due to the interference of those four old ladies, some tribe rules cannot be modified for the time being.
In other words, if Die appeared in front of the entire tribe, she would inevitably be hunted down by the entire snake tribe.
Unconsciously, Queen Medusa's gaze gradually shifted to Xiao Zhen. As for her own sister, she felt a little dazzled.
Xiao Zhen suddenly found that the radar in his hand responded. The temperature a few kilometers ahead was unusually high.
"That's great. The reaction in front is very great. What we are looking for should be there!" Xiao Zhen hugged Die beside him and said excitedly.
Die finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although she grew up in the Tagor Desert, she had been away for several years. Now that she had returned to this hot desert, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Zhen took the radar in his hand and looked at it again, and suddenly made a surprising discovery.
Xiao Zhen looked at the red thread of marriage in his hand and was suddenly dazed. Just a few days after he came to the desert, the red thread in his hand, which would not show its true form unless summoned, suddenly showed its true form.
At first, Xiao Zhen didn't take it seriously. He just thought that it was because he was close to Queen Medusa that both ends reacted, so the red line became conspicuous.
But he didn't know if it was Xiao Zhen's illusion, but he always felt that the direction of the other end of the red line of marriage seemed to have changed.
Xiao Zhen looked back along the red line, a light flashed in his eyes, and he was surprised to find that behind a large rock three hundred meters away, there was a masked man lurking.
This masked man is not simple. He is wrapped in a black tights and has a strange mask on his face. His dress is not much different from Die next to him.
The most important thing is that the masked man has a snake tail on his lower body. It is obvious that he should be a snake man.
After taking a look at the red string tied to the mysterious snake man's hand, Xiao Zhen knew who it was without even having to think about it.
As Xiao Zhen walked, he became a little hesitant. If he found the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and Medusa suddenly tried to snatch it away, that would be troublesome.
The strange fire is extremely important to Queen Medusa. As long as she uses the power of the strange fire, Queen Medusa can evolve her bloodline and successfully upgrade her cultivation to the Dou Zong level.
Xiao Zhen was not sure whether Queen Medusa would give up on snatching the strange fire in front of her under the influence of the red thread of marriage.
"A Zhen, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly stop walking? Is there something wrong?" Die looked at Xiao Zhen who had stopped and asked with concern.
Xiao Zhen held Die's hand and said calmly, "Die, it's getting late. Why don't we set up the tent here and look for it tomorrow!"
Die looked at the still scorching sun in the sky, and then at Xiao Zhen's stiff cheeks. She really wanted to ask, the sun probably won't set for three hours, and you actually told me it's late?
However, Die never refuted Xiao Zhen, because it was not her who was looking for the strange fire anyway.
Queen Medusa, who was following behind, was also full of questions when she saw the two people in front of her suddenly set up their tent.
"Could it be that this couple came to the desert to experience life? I have been following them for a while and they have been wandering around the desert as if they were looking for something, but now they suddenly set up a tent!"
Although Queen Medusa was puzzled, Xiao Zhen happily set up the tent. He didn't believe that Queen Medusa, as the queen of a tribe, would always follow him. Doesn't she have to deal with so many things?
