Finally, under Jiang Ping's insistence, Hai Bodong finally gave up and made a few ice cubes.
"Ah~"
Holding the ice in front of him, Jiang Ping suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Sure enough, it is very useful to carry an air conditioner with you. With the ice, at least he will not be killed by the heat in the desert.
"Chiu~"
Suddenly, a loud crane cry echoed in the sky.
Jiang Ping and Hai Bodong looked up at the same time and saw a huge flying magic beast flying across the blue sky.
Several human figures can be seen on the broad back of the flying magic beast.
"Level 3 flying magic beast... judging from their direction, they should also be flying towards the depths of the desert." Hai Bodong frowned slightly.
It was just a glance, and he couldn't see those people clearly, but he could vaguely feel that they were not good people.
Moreover, anyone who can control a third-rank flying magic beast is not an ordinary person.
Jiang Ping's heart skipped a beat.
If he is not mistaken, the flying magic beast just now should be Yun Yun, Gu He and the others.
"We have to speed up."
Hai Bodong didn't ask any questions about Jiang Ping's sudden seriousness. He just nodded and whipped the red earth horse to speed up.
...
After traveling for a whole day in the desert, they barely reached the center of the desert, which was still quite a distance away from the snake people's territory deep in the desert.
"Let's rest here today. It's dangerous to travel at night." Hai Bodong said as he got off the carriage and started making a fire around him.
For someone who has been traveling in the desert for more than ten years, he knows exactly when he can travel and when he cannot.
Therefore Jiang Ping had no objection and followed Hai Bodong's advice to stop here and rest.
Just as the two of them had lit the bonfire, suddenly, a powerful energy wave came from not far away, as if someone was fighting.
"Such a strong aura!"
The spreading energy aftermath alone made Jiang Ping feel a sense of pressure.
The person who started the fight was at least at the Dou King level!
"It seems that those people during the day encountered the strong snake people." Hai Bodong glanced over.
"Let's go and see what's going on." Jiang Ping was eager to watch the fun, so he quickly pulled Hai Bodong and ran towards the direction where the energy aftermath came from.
After a while, they finally looked in an oasis and saw the two sides fighting fiercely.
On one side were two humans, and on the other was a beautiful snake woman with an upper body of a charming and curvy female face, and the lower body was a charming snake tail.
All three of them were Dou Kings, but the snake woman was not at a disadvantage when she fought one against two.
On the other side, Jiang Ping saw a few people still standing!
"If I remember correctly, that powerful snake female should be Yue Mei, one of the eight leaders of the snake people tribe."
"As for the other side...Pill King Gu He? He actually appeared here?"
Hai Bodong was a little surprised when he saw a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament in the crowd.
Although he and Gu He were not from the same era, Hai Bodong still knew the Pill King of the Jia Ma Empire.
"The Cultivation Base of the other people are all pretty good. They appear to be some of the top ten strongest people in the contemporary Jia Ma Empire."
What really concerned Hai Bodong was not Gu He and his companions, but the only one among them who was covered in a black robe and whose real face was not revealed.
"The aura of that black-robed man is very strong... He is actually a Dou Emperor expert! And this familiar aura is the skill of the Yunlan Sect. The only Dou Emperor expert in the Yunlan Sect is Yun Yun, the current Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect."
Jiang Ping was listening at the side and was dumbfounded.
"Old man you are awesome! You can even analyze this?"
Just by taking a look from a distance, he was able to analyze Yun Yun's identity based on the identities of the others.
Such strong analytical ability... he can only say that he is indeed worthy of being called the Ice Emperor!
"Of course! I was once the famous Ice Emperor of Jia Ma Empire!" Hai Bodong couldn't help showing a hint of pride on his face.
"Besides, I have had many dealings with Yunlan Sect in the past, so I am naturally familiar with it. And Gu He is now also the Elder of Yunlan Sect, so it is not surprising that he can invite the Master of Yunlan Sect."
"But Pill King Gu He and the sect master Yun Yun came here in person. I'm afraid something big has happened... Gu He has been trying to find the Heavenly Flame for years but couldn't find it. So I guess they came here this time for the Heavenly Flame in the Tager Desert."
"Spot on!" Jiang Ping gave a secret thumbs up again.
He was simply overwhelmed with admiration for this old man analyses.
He analyzed everything and connected the dots in no time, and they were all correct.
Jiang Ping seriously suspected that Hai Bodong had read the original novel too!
Or, is Hai Bodong the protagonist and he is just a supporting role in some Fancfic world?!
Jiang Ping's praise made Hai Bodong even more proud.
"This is not good news for you. Heavenly Flame is already in Medusa's hands, and now there's another fellas trying to snatch it from you. I advise you to give up and not endanger yourself."
On one side is the territory of the Snake People, and on the other side is Pill King Gu He who is leading few of the strongest powerhouse of Jia Ma Empire. Their lineup is extremely luxurious.
Jiang Ping only has two people, so the lineup is not as good as theirs.
"You don't have to worry about this. I have already planned it." Jiang Ping already expected this, so he responded positively.
...
Faced with the siege of Gu He and others, Yue Mei was quickly defeated.
But the snake people had many tricks to escape, and in the end she managed to escape successfully.
The others wanted to chase after her, but Gu He stopped them and said:
"No need to chase them. We'll still have to negotiate with Queen Medusa later. It wouldn't be a good idea to fall out with them now."
After hearing what Gu He said, the others nodded and stopped chasing.
Then they boarded the flying magic beasts again and continued on their journey.
Seeing them leave, Jiang Ping also withdrew his gaze.
"It seems that their destination should be the territory of the snake people like ours, but with them leading the way, we may not encounter so many troubles." Hai Bodong retracted his gaze.
"Then let's hurry up and get on the road. Otherwise, if we let them get there first, Heavenly Flame will be taken away by them." Jiang Ping looked anxious and pulled Hai Bodong to hurry on the road overnight.
The red earth horse is slower than the flying magic beasts. If it rests any longer, it will not be able to catch up with Gu He and the others.
This time Hai Bodong said nothing, but silently drove the red earth horse forward to speed up.
"You have to be mentally prepared. With so many people heading for Heavenly Flame, I can only save your life at best. But if you insist on robbing it, I can't save you by then." Hai Bodong glanced at Jiang Ping and said.
Jiang Ping nodded:
"I know. It's just like what I said before. You just help me stop the strong men of the snake people. I will handle the others, including Medusa, by myself."
Finally, after three days and three nights of continuous travel, they arrived at the territory of the snake people...
