Chapter 144: Returning to Rock Desert City
"Hehe, don't worry, although I won't undo the seal for you, whether or not you can find a sixth-tier pill to lift the seal depends on your fate."
In fact, the Grand Commander's seal could not be lifted by an ordinary sixth-tier pill, but also required the cooperation of an Alchemist who could skillfully manipulate the Heavenly Flame, otherwise, the medicinal power of the sixth-tier pill would only end up being devoured by the Heavenly Flame trace that Xiao Ming had left on his body and then explode.
At that moment, the fate of this baldy who was currently just a Dou Grandmaster would be obvious.
Xiao Ming did not say it out loud, who would be foolish enough to tell the enemy the method to undo it?
The Grand Commander was enraged at his words. The Snake-People Tribe didn't have any alchemists, and the human empires around the Tager Desert were all enemies of the Snake-People Tribe. Where would he find a sixth-tier pill? Did he really have to be a Dou Grandmaster all his life?
This was unacceptable to the mighty Grand Commander, who couldn't help but scream in rage.
"Despicable human!"
"I'm despicable?" Xiao Ming shook his head wordlessly, "You, who were the ones who started it, are the despicable ones."
He had come with no ill intentions, yet because of Medusa's greed, things had ended up this way.
The most important thing was that this time he had suffered no real loss, otherwise, things would not end with just a Grand Commander.
Without bothering to say anything else to this mindless Grand Commander, Xiao Ming remembered that the Spirit was still attached to the Grand Commander's body.
Receiving Xiao Ming's thought, the Spirit enveloping the Grand Commander turned into a white light and flew towards Xiao Ming, circling around him happily several times before finally disappearing into Xiao Ming's body.
Looking at the indignant Grand Commander, Xiao Ming pulled a band of beast skin from his ring and tied him tightly.
Then, he found something to stuff his mouth with.
Only then did he sit cross-legged in his previous position.
...
A day later, in the afternoon, at a small oasis 20 miles west of the Mei Snake Tribe.
Under the glare of the setting sun, the desert beyond the oasis was filled with yellow sand, thousands of miles of continuous rolling dunes staggered high and low like frozen waves, their smooth lines revealing their extraordinary charm, their particularly spectacular grandeur.
Queen Medusa and Yue Mei, however, were in no mood to appreciate this view, to which they had been accustomed since birth.
They felt nothing but endless disgust at this sight.
Yue Mei turned her head once more and looked up at the sky, but there was no sign of Xiao Ming.
"Your Majesty, we've been waiting for a day and the other party still hasn't arrived, why don't you go back to the Mei Snake Tribe first and leave the matter of retrieving the Grand Commander to me?" This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
"Just you? The other party was able to capture the Grand Commander, with your strength, I'm afraid the human will capture you too." Queen Medusa said as she looked at Yue Mei.
Yue Mei heard the words and said a little embarrassed, "I don't think so, I don't have any problem with him".
Yue Mei, who had spent a day with Xiao Ming, felt that she could still communicate with him.
Previously, with the matter of the Grand Commander, she had wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but Queen Medusa had stopped her.
"You have not, but our Snake-People race does have a problem with him. Humans covet our women and often kidnap them, so there's no guarantee he doesn't have some idea about you." Medusa shook her head.
The reason the Snake-People Tribe had been able to survive under the siege of the human empires was through unity, and offending a Snake-People Commander could easily attract the other Snake-People Commanders.
So when she heard this, although he didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing, Yue Mei said nothing more.
They waited until after sunset and still did not see Xiao Ming's figure.
Just as Yue Mei was about to speak, a black shadow came flying in from afar.
"The Grand Commander has a crushed bone fracture in his right arm, his right arm is now crippled, if it doesn't heal, all his strength will be reduced by forty percent. In addition, Xiao Ming has sealed the Grand Commander's Dou Qi, without lifting the seal, the Grand Commander..."
Yue Mei paused and did not continue.
Medusa herself knew about sealing techniques and knew what Yue Mei meant, if the seal was not lifted, the Grand Commander would be left with the strength of a Dou Grandmaster.
"I know, after I return to the Sacred City I will look for the Great Elders and see what they can do."
The secret sealing technique had always been strange and unpredictable, very difficult to undo, and Queen Medusa couldn't think of any good solutions.
Yue Mei nodded and asked again, "Your Majesty, why didn't you exchange the Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit with him?".
Queen Medusa certainly wanted to do so, at first she wanted to use other medicinal herbs and Sand's Datura to exchange the Grand Commander with the Snake Spirit Sacred Fruit.
However, she gave up this plan after seeing the state Xiao Ming had the Grand Commander in, since, it was more likely that the other party would also ask her for the other medicinal herbs in exchange for the Grand Commander.
To avoid this situation, she first exchanged the Grand Commander.
But after exchanging the Grand Commander, the other party fled and it was too late to suggest the exchange.
Without answering Yue Mei's question, Queen Medusa directly told Yue Mei to wake up the bald head and take him out of the oasis.
...
A few days later, Xiao Ming appeared on the streets of Rock Desert City, walked slowly, and soon arrived at the door of an inn.
As soon as he entered, he saw Zi Yan and the other girls sitting on some chairs.
And all the people around them were looking at them with some astonishment.
Sitting on the chairs, Zi Yan suddenly sniffed several times, then her eyes lit up and she turned her head to look at the door.
Seeing Xiao Ming looking at them with a smile, Zi Yan immediately jumped up and flew into Xiao Ming's arms, her little head bobbing constantly.
"Xiao Ming, you're finally back!"
Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian were attracted by Zi Yan's movements and also saw Xiao Ming.
The two of them rushed up to greet him.
"Young Master, you're back!" Qing Lin's soft voice rang in his ears.
Xiao Ming smiled and nodded his head.
"You didn't have any accidents on your trip to the Snake-People Tribe this time, did you? Are you injured somewhere?" Xiao Yi Xian looked up and down Xiao Ming's body, there was no lack of concern in her tone.
"No." Xiao Ming waved his hand with a smile and said, "This trip was quite smooth."
Xiao Yi Xian looked at him suspiciously, her instincts told her that his trip was not as smooth as he said, but finding nothing, she could only suppress her worry as she walked towards him together with Qing Lin.
Qing Lin didn't think so much about it, she was just happy that her Young Master was back.
The people in the inn looked at this handsome young man who had suddenly appeared, surrounded by three beauties, and they all couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous.
But they didn't dare to say anything provocative either.
Not that there hadn't been people who had tried to hit on these three girls and even tried to take them by force, relying on their strength
When they thought about what had happened to those people, everyone could not help but tremble, and their gazes towards Zi Yan in Xiao Ming's arms were filled with fear.
Many people felt admiration for Xiao Ming.
Someone capable of making such a terrifying person act like a spoiled girl, it was really impossible not to admire him.
