After a brief moment of shock, Xiao Yan calmed down; no matter what, he would not give up easily.
He took out the map with the simple sketch of Amon's head, which he had obtained from the cave, spread it on the table, and asked, "Is this the area Gu He hired people to excavate?"
Xiao Ding glanced at it twice; being very familiar with the area around Stone Desert City, he immediately recognized that the Sand Mercenary Group had indeed blockaded this very spot.
He nodded, affirming, "That's right, it's exactly here."
A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips, and he asked in his mind, "Teacher, what should we do now?"
Yao Chen thought for a moment and replied, "First, go to that area and see if it's really a different flame. If it is, then infiltrate the Snake-People."
Xiao Yan was somewhat worried: "Won't that be too dangerous? Even Pill King Gu He might have died at Medusa's hands."
"What, are you scared?" Yao Chen asked with a hint of a smile.
"Scared, but I won't back down. Otherwise, how can I go to Yunlan Sect, first win that three-year pact, and then..." Xiao Yan's voice gradually faded.
"Since you won't back down, then move forward with determination."
Xiao Yan suggested going to see the area where the different flame was discovered, and Xiao Ding and Xiao Li agreed to lead the way for him.
He rested for a night at the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's stronghold, and the next day, he arrived at the place where Medusa and Yun Shan had once fought a great battle.
Accompanying them was Qing Lin, the half-Snake-Person who had served Xiao Yan for a night. She had an extraordinary perception for certain things.
In the center of the desert, there was a sunken Magma lake, with various sized rocks floating on its surface.
Xiao Ding introduced, "For a while, many people were checking around, hoping to pick up some treasures from it, but they all returned empty-handed. Over time, fewer and fewer people came here.
"Some also speculated that there might be some treasure in the Magma, but no one could go down, so it's unclear what the situation is like below."
"Young Master Xiao Yan, be careful, there seems to be something very strong down there," the half-Snake-Person Qing Lin said timidly.
The address "Young Master Xiao Yan" made Xiao Yan momentarily lose himself in thought. He remembered a certain girl who liked to wear black clothes... He wondered how she and Xun Er were doing at Jia Nan Academy now...
"Very strong, how strong? Is there a living creature in there?" Xiao Yan frowned.
"Hmm... Stronger than the City Lord and Sha Luo, a bit weaker than the old man that day."
Qing Lin had seen Mu Lei, the City Lord of Stone Desert City, and Sha Luo, the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, and had also felt Yun Shan's aura, so she subconsciously compared them.
"Here it comes," Yao Chen reminded in Xiao Yan's mind.
A Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake emerged from the Magma. It exchanged a glance with a man wearing a monocle in the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, then focused its gaze on Xiao Yan and Qing Lin beside him.
Amon also had some ideas about the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils, but this thing didn't seem to be a USB interface, plug-and-play type Sharingan style.
The Mo family's magical beast limb transplantation technology was also not mature, so Amon temporarily put it aside.
This was similar to Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body; it was not compatible with Amon's own system, and utilizing it would require a lot of effort to specifically research.
"A fourth-tier magical beast!" Xiao Yan was startled.
Looking at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake with white rings around its eyes, Xiao Yan felt surprisingly little surprise.
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake flicked its tail, sending Xiao Yan flying, then pounced towards Qing Lin.
"Teacher." Xiao Yan was about to let Yao Chen take over his body, but he discovered a strange fluctuation spreading.
Qing Lin's eyes glowed brightly, and the three small dots in her pupils turned into three extremely tiny green flowers.
A shimmering green light enveloped the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.
The Worms of Spirit Parasite in the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's soul discovered that the host's soul was undergoing a distortion.
A dark green small snake, nourished by a portion of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's soul, condensed into form. It seemed to contain a part of Qing Lin's will, Parasite in the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's soul, thereby controlling the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.
It was competing with Amon for control of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's soul!
The dark green small snake had not been born long when it discovered a worm with twelve rings, emitting a starlight-like color, staring at it with interest from the side.
"Heh... Interesting." The starlight on Amon's body flared, attempting to Parasite the dark green small snake, but it did not succeed.
"Hmm, no spirituality, not a living creature..." He circled the dark green small snake, showing curiosity about its existence.
The Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils could only control snake-type magical beasts, which meant it was related to bloodline.
Amon murmured softly, "A will residing in the bloodline... Ancient Celestial Serpent? Interesting."
He became more interested in the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils, but he did not Parasite Qing Lin, as that would cause her to lose her potential for growth.
Until a second sample appeared and he had enough confidence to Exploit it, Amon would not conduct destructive research on it... He had enough patience.
Observing the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils indirectly, starting from the controlled snake-type magical beasts, was also a valid approach.
Amon temporarily ceased controlling the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's soul, yielding dominance to the dark green small snake that had aberrantly formed from the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's soul, induced by the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils.
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's body trembled, and its eyes regained some clarity. It prostrated itself before Qing Lin like a small dog, with a wronged expression in its eyes.
"It's actually the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils!" Yao Chen's exclamation echoed in Xiao Yan's mind:
"Heh heh, you little brat, I don't know what kind of luck you have, but every single one of your little maidservants is extraordinary. That maidservant of yours named Xiao Meng might not have been wrong about something."
"Hmm?"
"That Nalan Yanran, she might really not be worthy of being your maidservant!" Yao Chen said with a teasing tone.
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and asked, "Teacher, what is the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupils?"
"A kind of innate peculiar pupil, which seems to only appear in the descendants of humans and Snake-People, capable of creating illusions...
"It can also form a unilateral, forced connection with snake-type magical beasts. Simply put, there's a certain chance to forcibly control snake-type magical beasts, making it a bane for them.
"It seems to have some more special abilities... I'm not very clear myself."
"Holy crap," Xiao Yan exclaimed with envy, "A girl who isn't even a Fighter can control a fourth-tier Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. What will happen when her cultivation improves?"
"Hmm, I see this girl also seems to have a good impression of you. You should take her in too. More children, more blessings..." Yao Chen said with a chuckle.
"Damn it, get lost!" Xiao Yan cursed.
"Young Master Xiao Yan, Little Spirit seems to have become my pet! It complained to me, saying it was controlled by something before and didn't mean to attack us," Qing Lin shouted excitedly.
"Uh... controlled... Aren't you controlling it now too?" Xiao Yan muttered softly.
