Chapter 187 The Right Path (1/2)

Chapter 187 The Right Path

Xiao Ling followed the directions on the map given by Yinshi in Najie and led several people over the Holy Land Palace and headed towards the steep cliff.

On the way, Xiao Yan told Xiao Ling what happened outside the Holy Land before, including the war in the Holy Land at this time.

After hearing this, Xiao Li frowned tightly, with a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

Obviously, even Xiao Ling, who considers himself unscrupulous, can't stand Queen Medusa's behavior of using her tribe as bait.

But Xiao Ling had to admit that Queen Medusa's move was quite clever.

In that case, as long as Yan Luotian rebels, Najia Xingtian will definitely side with the snake people.

It doesn't matter if Yan Luotian doesn't betray her, that can still delay Queen Medusa for enough time.

Although the situation is basically stable now, Xiao Ling still feels uneasy in his heart.

She didn't think that the two countries of Izumo and Luoyan could swallow their breath after paying such a heavy price and being tricked by Queen Medusa.

Their core goal is to destroy the snake people. As long as Queen Medusa does not die, they will not be able to retreat.

When several people went to look for Medusa, Xiao Yan also learned about Yao Ye's identity and immediately expressed his shock.

He never expected that Yaoye, the appointed successor to the royal family, would run alone into the dangerous Tagore Desert.

"arrive."

Xiao Ling stopped, frowned and looked at the mountain wall in front of him, then lowered his head to confirm the position on the map again.

It should be right here.

Xiao Ling put away the map, put his hand on the mountain wall in front of him, and poured his fighting spirit into it.

"It's not true."

Xiao Ling murmured in a low voice. After hearing this, Xiao Yan took out the Xuan Zhong Ruler.

"Sister, you step back first and I'll smash it open."

Xiao Yan said this, but Xiao Ling shook his head lightly.

"This mountain wall is not thin. If you want to smash it, it will definitely make a lot of noise. It will be bad if it attracts people."

As Xiao Ling said that, he took out the blood-stained ring and searched it with his consciousness.

Yinshi said before his death that there is a key to unlocking it from the outside.

The next second, an ordinary-looking stone appeared in Xiao Ling's hand. He immediately understood something and scanned the mountain wall in front of him.

Soon, he found an extremely inconspicuous groove in an extremely hidden corner. Xiao Ling stepped forward and put the stone into the groove.

Click!

The next moment, the stone wall in front of him slowly parted to both sides, revealing a staircase passage leading straight down. A row of lighting torches were hung on both sides of the passage.

"Let's go."

Xiao Ling called softly and led the three people into the cave. After a while, the stone wall door slowly closed, and there was no trace of anything strange at all.

In the cave, Xiao Ling and the others walked down the steps and along the torches. The further they went down, the more they felt the coldness that penetrated into their bones.

But at the same time, I also felt strangely that the coldness was mixed with heart-burning heat.

"Sister, why don't we call a few more leaders?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ling and asked doubtfully, even if he just called Yue Mei, it would be a lot safer, right?

"Yan'er, you have to understand one thing, that is, Queen Medusa is in retreat now. It doesn't matter how many people protect her. The important thing is that she cannot be disturbed by outside forces."

"Those leaders can indeed protect Queen Medusa, but correspondingly, their identities will attract more people's attention. Calling them for protection will have a greater chance of exposing Queen Medusa's position. It is slightly uncomfortable. Queen Medusa will be disturbed, and in that case it would be better not to protect her."

"A few of us are actually transparent people in this incident. Not many people in Izumo Luoyan will pay attention to us. We are the only ones suitable to protect Queen Medusa."

Xiao Ling said, looking sideways at Xiao Yan and chuckled.

"Or Yan'er, don't you have the confidence to protect Queen Medusa?"

"Well" Xiao Yan scratched his face in embarrassment, but still answered truthfully, "I really don't have confidence. My sister is a Dou Ling after all, and I am just a little Dou Master. In the eyes of those people, I don't have combat power at all, right? "

Hearing Xiao Yan's self-effacing words, Yao Ye couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Do you want to recall what you did? Have you forgotten what you did in the Achachu tribe?

Nearly ten great fighting masters plus one fighting spirit are unable to fight back in your hands. Are you sure you are just a small fighting master? You are a little fighting master, so who am I?

"Haha~" Xiao Ling chuckled softly and reached out to rub Xiao Yan's hair, "Yan'er, it's a good thing to be self-effacing, but sometimes it's not good to be too self-effacing."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Looking at Xiao Yan's dull expression, Xiao Ling couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, and the sadness rising in her heart due to the death in the underworld also subsided a little.

My little brother, no matter how old he grows up, is still cute and silly~

While talking, several people finally reached the bottom.

As soon as I stepped down the last step, I felt a wave of heat coming over me.

The diameter of this dark underground is a hundred meters long. The ground is filled with a circle of spring water. In the center of the spring water is a stone pillar. A beautiful female snake-human with long red hair is coiled on the stone pillar. Although He closed his eyes tightly, but he could still feel the cold aura coming from his body.

Queen of the Snake Tribe, Medusa!

Above Queen Medusa, a cluster of light blue flames like lotus flowers was hovering. The brilliance of the flames illuminated the underground space. The flames in a circle on the stone wall were all moving closer to the light blue flames, as if It is to bow down and worship him.

(Qinglian Earth Heart Fire!!!)

The medicine in Xiao Yan's ring immediately exclaimed, she never expected that the Snake Tribe actually had strange fire!

At this time, Xiao Ling opened his mouth to explain.

"I heard from the elders of the Yinshi world before that the snake people have a secret method that allows them to evolve by absorbing strange fire and move towards a higher level race." Xiao Ling frowned tightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "But The failure rate of this method is too high. Once it fails, the soul will be gone and the body will be gone. "

"Then why does she still use this method?"

Xiao Yan's eyes were full of confusion. Queen Medusa should know very well that once she dies, the entire snake tribe will be finished!

In this regard, Xiao Ling was silent for a while and then gave an explanation.

"Because the snake people are in the Tagor Desert."

Xiao Ling turned his eyes to Yao Ye and asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness Yaoye, does the royal family really want to solve the problem of the snake people?"

"certainly!"

Facing Xiao Ling's inquiry, Yao Ye nodded heavily without hesitation.

Xiao Ling then asked.

"Then may I ask, how does the royal family want to solve it?"

"Of course I want to find a way to reconcile with the snake people! It's just because of the Yunlan Sect that there has been no progress!"

Yaoye's answer was so sure that Xiao Ling smiled helplessly.

"Maybe among the royal family, you are the only one who thinks so, Your Highness Yaoye."

"Huh?!" Yaoye paused suddenly, "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness Yao Ye, why do you think Jia Lao's father completely banned the slave trade and asked future generations to find ways to reconcile with the snake people?" Xiao Ling stared at Yao Ye closely, and continued before Yao Ye could answer. Said: "Because Jia Lao's father is afraid of the snake people."

! ! ! ! !

Yaoye's pupils suddenly tightened, and she listened blankly to Xiao Ling's next words.

"Perhaps Your Highness Yao Ye thinks that Jia Lao's father feels guilty based on what the previous royal family did to the snake people, so he wants to make up for the mistakes of the previous royal family."

"I won't say for sure that there is no such possibility."

"But I am certain that this is by no means the main reason." "The real reason is that the power and position of the Snake People may threaten the Jia Ma Empire."

"It is true that the situation in the Holy Land is just like what Yan'er just told us. Queen Medusa pretended to cooperate with Izumo Luoyan, and through her own backstabbing, Jia Lao sided with the snake people."

"But have you ever thought about it, what if Queen Medusa and Izumo Luoyan cooperated sincerely?"

Xiao Ling's words made Yao Ye's clothes suddenly soaked with cold sweat!

Yes, now it is because Yan Luotian stabbed Queen Medusa in the back that the Jiama Empire and the Snake People are on the same side.

But what if Yan Luotian didn't have a backstab?

In that case, with Izumo, Luoyan, and the Snake People, it would be impossible for the Jiama Empire to resist, and the Tagor Desert would no longer belong to the Jiama Empire!

At this time, Xiao Ling continued.

"The Garma Empire is worried about this, and Queen Medusa also has her worries."

"After all, the power of the snake people is still no match for the empire. Even if they really join Izumo Luoyan, they are just vassals. If Izumo Luoyan abandons the snake people one day in the future, they will have no way out. The Gama Empire I will definitely never accept the snake people again.”

"One rebellion is enough to be remembered for a lifetime."

"Therefore, joining Izumo Luoyan is definitely an option that the snake people can only consider when they really have no other options."

"Since we can't join Izumo Luoyan, we can only maintain relations with the Gama Empire as much as possible."

"However, no matter what the reason is, the Garma royal family has been trying to reconcile with the snake people for more than two hundred years without making any progress. This has also made Queen Medusa increasingly distrustful of the Garma royal family."

"My appearance really raised the hope of Queen Medusa."

"But, not much."

"My methods can indeed gradually eliminate the barriers between the Snake People and the Jiama Empire."

"However, if things develop normally, it will take quite a long time to reach the goal of reconciliation."

"Ten years? Twenty years? Or fifty years?"

"At this time, even I can't tell."

"And during this period, once Izumo Luoyan does something, it will be too late."

"It was this panic about the future and the chance to obtain the strange fire that made Queen Medusa decide to take risks and use it to make a desperate move."

After Xiao Ling said these words, his eyes were fixed on Yao Ye.

"Your Highness Yaoye, the royal family does want to reconcile with the snake people, but at the same time, the royal family also hopes that the hidden danger of the snake people will disappear forever."

"If Queen Medusa is really stabbed to death outside the Holy Land, then Jia Lao will probably choose to stand by and watch Izumo Luoyan annihilate the Snake Tribe."

"Impossible!" Anger flashed in Yao Ye's eyes, and she immediately sternly objected, "My great-grandfather would never do such a heartless and unjust thing!"

Xiao Ling didn't say anything more about Yao Ye's denial.

Just quietly, looking at Yao Ye.

After a brief moment of anger, Yaoye gradually calmed down.

After a while, Yao Ye couldn't help but ask herself.

Wouldn't his great-grandfather really do this?

Looking back on Jia Xingtian's past decisions, Yao Ye's heart was uncertain.

Seeing Yao Ye's uncertain expression, Xiao Jing sighed softly in his heart.

The royal family, that's it.

They are not only carrying their own family, but also the entire empire.

The longer you sit on the throne, the more you can feel the burden on your shoulders.

Xiao Jing will not tell Yao Ye directly that Jia Xingtian did something wrong.

Because Xiao Jing can't be sure whether Jia Xingtian did something wrong.

This kind of thing can only be distinguished at a certain moment in the future.

Precisely because it is impossible to distinguish right from wrong, Jia Xingtian has always been trying his best to ensure that he does not make mistakes, and even dares not to do anything.

It is precisely because of this that the problem of the snake people has been delayed for more than two hundred years.

Xiao Jing never thought that he could reconcile humans and the snake people by himself.

What is needed is not only the support of the snake people, but also the Jiama royal family.

Since the Gama royal family dare not take that step, I will pave the way for them.

Queen Medusa can't wait for decades, and Xiao Jing can't wait either.

Even if Chu Yun Luo Yan didn't intervene this time, Xiao Jing would find other ways to force the Gama royal family to make a choice.

Chu Yun Luo Yan's active entry this time was beyond Xiao Jing's plan, but it just happened to suit her wishes.

"Your Highness Yao Ye."

Xiao Jing called softly, and slowly spoke when Yao Ye looked at her.

"If you really can't figure it out now, don't think about it anymore."

"You still have a long way to go in your future."

"I personally hope that you can remember this moment, remember your original intention that you thought Jia Lao was wrong at the first time."

"People always make mistakes that they have already recognized in the years of passing."

"Compromise, habit, and even numbness."

"You may even unconsciously forget the beautiful vision in your heart at the beginning."

"Once this intention is discarded, it can never be found again."

"So please keep it well, Your Highness Yao Ye."

"Whenever you feel that you are no longer yourself, please remember who you are now."

"As the eldest princess of the royal family and the future heir to the throne, you obviously have such a bright future. Why are you willing to risk your life and come to this dangerous Tagor Desert alone?"

"What exactly supports you to come here?"

Xiao Yu asked softly.

Hearing Xiao Yu's question, Yao Ye was stunned for a long time.

The mind that was already in a mess suddenly became clear.

Then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yu firmly.

"Because I think that my great grandfather did something wrong!"

"I came here to do what I think is right!"

"No matter what others say about me, I will go to the end step by step on the right path I think!!!"
