Chapter Twenty-Nine: Marching, Red Flame Desert (1)
Xiaoqing's eyes lit up when she said this, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed when she thought that Gu Qinghe would be able to recover immediately. When the poisonous dragon saw that the king was so sure, although he still didn't believe it, he didn't speak anymore. In the distance, Bi Lingxiao and Jin Linfeng talked for a few words, and saw Jin Linfeng nodding and turning back here.
"Poisonous Dragon King, Poria has already followed that little ghost named Bi Lingxiao, and our Red Flame Golden Scale Snake Clan has no treasures, please don't bother us again. Jin Linfeng said lightly to Xiaoqing, turned the snake body, "Everyone, go back!" As he spoke, he took the lead in getting into the sand and swam towards the center of the desert. The 11 serpents, though puzzled, did not say anything, and with their king, turned and went back to the territory.
Seeing the group of red flame golden scale snakes leave, several people came to Xiaoqing and them.
"No wonder the poisonous dragons weren't in the valley when we went, they came out to grab something!" Purple Pine Lin smiled as he looked at these behemoths.
"The entire abyss knows that the Red Flame Golden Scale Snake clan guards a treasure, which is said to be able to cure the sequelae of going mad, so these days the clan has been sent here by me, wanting to force Jin Linfeng to hand over the treasure. I came here a few days ago and found out that that baby is Poria cocos!" Xiaoqing nodded, turned to Bi Lingxiao, and looked curiously at the Poria cocos sitting on his shoulder, "Little friend Lingxiao, this, is this really Poria cocos, a grass?"
"Dead girl, what are you talking about!
Poria looked like a master, and when he heard this, he immediately jumped up, pointed at Xiaoqing and shouted loudly.
"That's right, we didn't expect that this Poria not only has spiritual intelligence, but can even transform into shapes, and it took a little effort to get him out!" Bi Lingxiao rubbed his ears that were a little numb from the noise and nodded.
"It's so unusual, it's the first time I've seen a plant that can be shaped. Now that there is Poria cocos, there are nine turns of ginseng. It's just these days that most of my clansmen and I have been confronting the Red Flame Golden Scale Snake Clan on the edge of this desert, and I don't know if the few clansmen sent out can find it. Xiao Qing nodded, still looking at the little old man in front of him with curiosity.
"Don't worry about this, we have already found the Nine Turns Human Face Ginseng, and the vintage is still very high, it should be of great help to the recovery of Old Gu's strength!" Bi Lingxiao smiled slightly, "I hope you can lend us a few stone caves at that time." And I've always wanted to ask, is it really okay if all your poisonous dragons leave the valley and only Lao Gu is left?"
"That's great!"
Hearing that Bi Lingxiao had found the Nine Turns of Human Ginseng, Xiaoqing was immediately overjoyed. She was afraid that she would not be able to find the rest in less than 4 months, after all, the ginseng of the Nine Turns is also very rare, whether there is anything in this abyss, at this time, when she heard that the other party had found it, she really couldn't suppress her excitement, and she wanted to return to the valley as soon as possible to treat Gu Qinghe.
"The cave is a small thing. Don't worry about Lao Gu, I'll send a few people back to guard after I leave. Let's go back to the valley now, you just sit on my back, I can't wait!"
Carrying Bi Lingxiao and a few people, Xiaoqing didn't care whether the clansmen behind him followed or not, and ran towards the Poison Dragon Valley with full horsepower, bringing up a cloud of green smoke behind him, which attracted a sideways glance from the monsters passing by.
"Don't be in such a hurry, it hurts!"
The violent bumps made it impossible to sleep at all, and the purple pine forest lying on Xiaoqing's back was almost turned upside down, so he had to sit up and maintain his balance.
"Xiaoqing, I understand your feelings, don't worry about that bun, it's the most important thing to go back as soon as possible!" Seeing Zi Songlin rubbing his buttocks that were hurt by Xiao Qing's sharp scales, Zi Yuhan was very gloating.
"I'm a bun, are you a steamed bun?" I don't care, I've found a comfortable place, don't worry about me!" Finding a piece of protruding scale armor and leaning on comfortably, Zi Songlin cocked Erlang's legs and snorted comfortably.
"Thank you, Xiao Zi!"
Xiao Qing nodded gratefully, and the speed really sped up a little. Within a few days, the vine wall on the periphery of the Poison Dragon Valley appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"It's almost there! It's still early, so I guess it's fine. Looking at the vine wall in the distance, Bi Lingxiao smiled.
Although the speed of the poisonous dragon is not dominant, as the overlord of one side, no other monster dares to interfere with such a big movement. Although Bi Lingxiao's real body speed was definitely much faster than that of the poisonous dragon, in such a dangerous place, they naturally didn't dare to blatantly fly with all their might, but Xiao Qing took them faster.
"Finally ......"
Xiaoqing's eyes were full of excitement, and her huge body jumped, jumping directly over the vines and falling into the valley. But when she rushed into the old stone cave with excitement, the scene in front of her suddenly poured out her excitement at all.
"Oh my God, what's going on?"
Zi Yuhan looked at the stone room in front of him in surprise. The huge stone door had been cut in half, and the old man in the stone chamber was gone, and the straw mat he was lying on was torn and ragged and scattered all over the ground, and two smaller poisonous dragons had fallen to the ground.
"This one is out of breath, Xiaoxiao, how are you?"
Mochen probed the snort of one of the poisonous dragons and shook his head. Bi Lingxiao stood next to the other poisonous dragon, looking at its slightly undulating chest.
"It's faint, but it's still breathing!"
"Indeed!"
Xiaoqing ran over, pressed under a scale on the neck of the poisonous dragon, felt it for a moment and nodded, accepted to put her hand on its head, her eyes flashed red, and the warm and non-lethal magic went down her palm into the poisonous dragon's head. This is a way to bring the brain back to consciousness through external stimuli.
"Ahem, Wang, Wang Shang......" Stimulated by Xiaoqing's 8th-order peak magic power, the poisonous dragon quickly regained consciousness.
"What the hell is going on, Old Gu!" Xiao Qing withdrew his hand and looked at the poisonous dragon with urgency in his eyes.
"Soul Addict Ants are here, Lord Gu, Lord Gu was taken and taken away by them!"
The poisonous dragon was already very weak, and at this time it was forced to regain consciousness, and its voice was also difficult to hear, but everyone could understand it. The soul thirsty ants took advantage of the poisonous dragon clan to come out of the nest and enter the void, broke the stone cave, and captured the dormant Gu Qinghe.
"Soul Appetite - Ant ——, my poisonous dragon clan is inseparable from you!"
Xiaoqing clenched her fists, and the accumulated anger suddenly exploded. She raised her head to the sky and roared, and the magic power of the peak of the 8th order exploded, and the entire Poison Dragon Valley shook violently! The roar with the magic power suddenly came out a hundred miles away, and half of the abyss was suddenly silent.
"It's the king's voice, something happened in the valley!"
The poisonous dragons, who were one step behind Xiaoqing, had just arrived at the edge of the valley at this time when they heard this hysterical roar.
"Let's get in!"
The poisonous dragons looked at each other in surprise and hurried into the valley.
"Hey, where are you going!"
After Xiaoqing finished venting, his eyes were fierce, and he turned around and walked out of the cave, but was pulled by the purple pine forest.
"Of course it's to go to the reptiles' lair and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!"
Xiaoqing turned her head, and the extreme anger made her beautiful face distort a little.
"Hey, are you going to die, why do you think those soul eaters dare to take Lao Gu away?" Zi Songlin sighed.
"I don't care, those guys specialize in eating souls, if I don't hurry over, Lao Gu will really be finished!"
Xiaoqing didn't listen to Zi Songlin's advice, and he threw off his sleeves and rushed out directly.
"Xiaoqing, wait a minute, Lao Gu will be fine for the time being, don't be impulsive!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Bi Lingxiao hurriedly said. Xiaoqing paused when she heard the footsteps, turned her head, and there was suspicion in her eyes.
"Little friend Lingxiao, what do you mean by that?"
"Remember when Old Gu went into hibernation before we left, because I had a soul charm on his head. The spell will put him into hibernation, but it will also protect his soul from dissipating for 3 months after his physical death. Moreover, with the protection of the talisman, any external attack will be ineffective against his soul, so in the past 3 months, Lao Gu will be fine!" Bi Lingxiao explained.
"Really? Old Guta, it really doesn't matter? Those reptiles are soul-eating, will that spell ......" Xiao Qing paused, very hesitant.
"Don't worry, that spell is drawn by my blood, and it already has the effect of a contract, no matter how powerful the Soul Eater Ant is, there is no way to break the contract!" Bi Lingxiao shook his head, "They must have laid a net waiting for you to take the bait, if you rush over on impulse, not only will you not be able to save Lao Gu, but you and your people may be killed!"
Xiaoqing frowned and pondered for a moment. The initial anger gradually calmed down, and the composure and sanity of the head of the clan prevailed. Closing her eyes, she exhaled and calmed down.
"Phew, well, I believe you, so what should I do?"
"Gather all the people, we'll have to discuss tactics. Perhaps, you can ask the Red Flame Golden Scale Snake to help. Bi Lingxiao nodded with a smile, looked at Xiaoqing, and said softly.
In a stone cave.
"That's the thing, Elders, do you have any suggestions?"
According to Bi Lingxiao's suggestion, Xiaoqing summoned all the high-level leaders of the poisonous dragon, and at this time, they all turned into human forms and discussed countermeasures in Xiaoqing's stone cave.
"Your Majesty, although this Soul Eater Ant is ranked lower among the high-level monsters, and the Ant King is only at the level of the 2nd Order, but their number is the largest in the entire Abyss, if not millions, but hundreds of thousands, and it is very disadvantageous for us to fight it head-on. A gray-haired old man at the head pondered after listening to Xiaoqing's account of the Soul Eater Ants taking advantage of the weakness to capture Lao Gu.
"What the Great Elder said is that not only are there many soul eaters, but their nests are all built underground, and it is difficult for our poison to have an effect on them, so the matter of starting a war must be carefully discussed. A gray-haired woman in the middle agrees.
"I understand what the Great Elder and the Fifth Elder mean, but my Poison Dragon Clan can't hold back their anger and act as if nothing has happened! I summoned you to this meeting to discuss the countermeasures to rescue Lao Gu, don't talk about those who have or don't, hurry up and think about what can be done!" Xiao Qing looked very impatient because Gu Qinghe was arrested, and looked at those elders impatiently.
"Your Majesty, you can't do anything if you're in a hurry! Soul Eaters have existed for so many years, no race is willing to take the initiative to pick on the door, if we attack rashly, even if we rescue the Gu Lord, the Poison Dragon Clan will definitely suffer heavy losses, if we are robbed by other races that have been watching us, it is possible for our Poison Dragon Clan to disappear!" The Second Elder who was sitting opposite the Great Elder shook his head and sighed.
"Everyone says they can't fight, do they have to watch Lao Gu become their food! Isn't that just to let the outside see us laughing, the dignified Poison Dragon Valley, even the former Poison Dragon King was captured! I tell you, you hurry up and come up with a way today, otherwise I will directly lead the clan to fight over!" Xiao Qing smashed the armrest of the stone chair with one palm, and glared angrily at the elders below. Several elders were frightened by Xiaoqing's anger and hurriedly shut up, for fear that something wrong would offend the female dragon again, oh no, the female lizard's reverse scales.
