Yue Mei was one of the eight leaders of the Snake-People tribe, and her strength hovered around the seven-star Dou King.
This kind of strength was very weak compared to Xiao Ming's, so if he wanted to, he could directly pass through the Mei Snake Tribe which was in charge of Yue Mei, saving some time.
Anyway, she could not do anything to him.
However, after thinking about the fact that he had only come here to look for the Sand's Datura, there was no need to provoke the Snake-People Tribe, so Xiao Ming gave up on this plan and thought instead.
'Sand's Datura is only mentioned in the original story in the Snake-People's Sacred City where Medusa is located, and it can help the Snake-People merge with the souls of the snake-like magical beasts inside their bodies, so it is an extremely precious existence in the Snake-People. Although there should also be wild Sand's Daturas in the desert, the Tager Desert is so huge that even if I have the talent to sense treasures, I'm afraid it would take at least half a month to find it.'
"On the other hand, the Snake-People have always been hostile to humans, if I go alone to the Snake People's Sacred City to exchange the Sand Datura with Medusa, I fear that something unexpected may happen, although I am not afraid of them, it is better to be safe than sorry, so it's preferable for Yue Mei to act as a go-between."
Xiao Ming felt that this plan was very feasible, it wasn't as if he had any enmity with the Snake-People, he had come to do business the right way, they shouldn't stab him in the back, right?
Xiao Ming put the map away and, with a flap of his wings, disappeared with a wave of silver light.
After ten minutes of flight, Xiao Ming arrived at the red dot marked on the map.
As one of the eight major tribes of the Snake People, the Mei Snake Tribe was still of a certain scale, about the same size as Rock Desert City, except that the entire territory was made of yellow soil, and to the naked eye, it was a uniform yellow color, except for a small oasis in the center, which gave the city a different color.
On the streets of the Mei Snake Tribe, apart from a few pedestrians, there was basically no one in sight.
Xiao Ming looked at this Mei Snake Tribe and couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "No wonder the Snake-People is stalking the human territory of the surrounding empires, this environment is too bad."
"Who's there!?"
Xiao Ming was hovering above the sky, not hiding his aura in the slightest, and was quickly spotted by the Snake-People guards standing guard outside.
"Dou Qi Wings, no tail, it's a powerful human Dou King!"
"Quick, blow the horn, alert of an imminent attack from a powerful person!"
"Woo-"
With the sound of the horn, the originally calm Mei Snake Tribe began to erupt into chaos, as the ugly snake men and snake women rushed out of their homes with weapons in hand.
In an instant, the originally empty and wide street was filled with snake warriors, and for a moment, the scene was somewhat spectacular.
However, Xiao Ming just watched the scene and did not care about it.
The Snake-People only had a slight threat to him in the form of Yue Mei, and anyone else below the Dou King realm would only be sending themselves to their deaths no matter how many people they sent.
"Who blew the horn?"
"Where is the enemy?"
"Look, he's in the sky!"
"It's a powerful person in the Dou King realm!"
"How could a human Dou King appear! Didn't we have an agreement with the Jia Ma Empire to not allow a Dou King or higher to appear in the depths of the desert!?"
After a brief commotion, the Snake-People had calmed down, and seeing that the human powerhouse above them had no intention of attacking, they also did not rush to attack, but only looked at Xiao Ming rather fearfully.
After Xiao Ming waited above the sky for a while, he discovered that Yue Mei still hadn't come out, so he couldn't help but frown.
'What's wrong with this Yue Mei I've been here for half a day and she still hasn't come out, her vigilance is too bad!'
Xiao Ming, not wanting to wait any longer, landed directly on top of a house and asked a Snake Woman in the Dou Spirit realm which was not far away, "Where is Yue Mei, the Commander of your tribe?"
Being asked by Xiao Ming, a Dou King powerhouse, the Snake Woman was a little nervous, "Uh, this human powerhouse, are you here to find Lady Yue Mei?"
"You don't have to be nervous, I don't have any enmity with your Snake-People, I won't do anything to you, I just have a request for her this time, where is she?"
Hearing that Xiao Ming was not here to look for trouble, a large group of Snake-People standing around sighed in relief.
After all, the relationship between the Snake-People and humans was not good, so they were a little scared when a human power suddenly appeared.
Since Xiao Ming wasn't here to look for trouble, that was good. Although that Snake Woman was still a bit cautious, even so, she answered Xiao Ming's question.
"Madam Yue Mei went to the Sacred City yesterday and won't be back until a little later today."
"Oh?" Xiao Ming's eyebrows furrowed at her words, "How much later is later?"
"It's not that long, she'll be back soon."
Because Xiao Ming was acting relatively calm and did not attack them as soon as he appeared, the Snake Woman did her best to answer Xiao Ming's question.
Even if she didn't answer, a person from the Dou King realm could know that their Commander wasn't in the tribe if he tried his best to sense it.
Xiao Ming couldn't help but be a little speechless at the Snake Woman answer.
He had come to look for someone, but he hadn't expected her not to be in her tribe, what should he do now?
Go straight to the Snake Sacred City?
Looking at Xiao Ming, who was pondering, the Snake Woman, who was not supposed to have a low status in the Mei Snake Tribe, cautiously asked, "This senior, why don't you wait a bit in our tribe?"
Xiao Ming listened to her words and thought that since he had come, he could wait for a while, and in an hour's time, if Yue Mei still did not return, he would travel to the Snake-People Sacred City by himself.
Following that Dou Spirit, he arrived at a room in the central oasis of the Mei Snake Tribe, and Xiao Ming stood waiting for a while.
Luckily, Xiao Ming did not wait in vain, as Yue Mei had returned to the Mei Snake Tribe very quickly, just as the Snake-People's Dou Spirit had said.
"Hehe, Younger Brother, are you the powerful human who came to look for Sister?" In the hall, Yue Mei looked at the handsome-looking young man in front of her and asked with a charming look.
Because, after Xiao Ming came to the Mei Snake Tribe, he did not wreak havoc on the Mei Snake Tribe while she was gone, so Yue Mei did not show much hostility towards Xiao Ming, who was a human.
Although there wasn't much hostility, Yue Mei's words were very rampant and provocative, and her eyes kept roaming over Xiao Ming's face.
"Younger Brother?" Xiao Ming faintly looked at Yue Mei, he felt it was still necessary to let Yue Mei know his capital.
With a thought, a wave of intimidating pressure instantly unfolded in the room.
The powerful pressure came and went quickly, but Yue Mei in the room also recognized Xiao Ming's strength.
"A strong person at the peak stage of Dou King!"
Realizing that Xiao Ming's strength surpassed her own, Yue Mei's eyes finally turned serious.
Seeing that Yue Mei had become a little more serious, Xiao Ming calmly spoke, "Commander Yue Mei, my name is Xiao Ming, a sixth-tier Alchemist, and I am currently the Elder of Jia Nan Academy's Alchemy Department. I have no malicious intent in coming to your Snake-People Tribe this time, I just want to exchange a Sand's Datura with you, and of course, you can mention the conditions."
In the end, Hai Bodong would have to pay for it anyway, so it didn't matter what conditions the other party put on it, as long as they weren't too outrageous.
Hearing Xiao Ming says that he was a sixth-tier Alchemist, a trace of surprise appeared in Yue Mei's eyes, although Xiao Ming was tall, his face was childish, so he obviously couldn't be too old.
The strength above her was already too outrageous, AND he was still a sixth-tier Alchemist, this was too monstrous!
And when she heard that Xiao Ming was the Elder of Jia Nan Academy's Alchemy Department, Yue Mei's face showed a hint of fear.
Although the Snake-People were under siege in the Tager Desert, they also had knowledge of the Jia Nan Academy, which was not a force they could afford to mess with.
Not to mention the Jia Nan Academy, even a sixth-tier Alchemist was not something they could play with.
After looking at Xiao Ming's face for a while, Yue Mei spoke with a smile, "So it's Master Xiao Ming himself, I'm sorry for disrespecting you, how talented is Master Xiao Ming to have such strength at such a young age?"
"However, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Master, about the Sand's Datura, our Mei Snake Tribe no longer has any stock, only Her Majesty's Sacred City has some stock."
"Hm." Xiao Ming gave a weak reply and did not feel disappointed, he only said, "In that case, I would like to ask you to be a go-between and take me to the Snake People's Sacred City to negotiate, how about it? I will pay the remuneration."
Yue Mei was one of the eight leaders of the Snake-People tribe, and her strength hovered around the seven-star Dou King.
This kind of strength was very weak compared to Xiao Ming's, so if he wanted to, he could directly pass through the Mei Snake Tribe which was in charge of Yue Mei, saving some time.
