Seeing this scene, Lin Feng knew that the Desert Rock Serpent had already been successfully controlled by Qing Lin.
A trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. As long as they controlled enough snake-type magic beasts, his chances of finding the Heavenly Flame would greatly increase.
"Mmm..."
Just as Lin Feng was imagining the possibilities, the Qing Lin in his arms let out a soft groan and slowly woke up.
Shaking her groggy little head, she looked up at Lin Feng, who was holding her, and her small face flushed slightly.
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly used his fingers to massage her temples, helping her recover her energy.
After glancing around at her surroundings, she spotted the Desert Rock Serpent still idling nearby.
The moment she saw it, Qing Lin immediately felt as if she had established some strange connection with it.
With just a slight movement of her thoughts, the Desert Rock Serpent reacted accordingly, swinging its tail and swiftly slithering toward the place she commanded.
Seeing this, Qing Lin weakly but excitedly said, "Young Master, did we succeed?"
Lin Feng chuckled and replied, "That's right, we succeeded!"
Hearing this, Qing Lin's face instantly lit up with joy, and she smiled. "This is great! Now Qing Lin can finally help Young Master!"
Of course, Lin Feng and Qing Lin weren't the only ones excited at this moment.
Not far from Rock Desert City, at a certain outpost—
A middle-aged man who had been cultivating suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation.
He instantly withdrew from his cultivation and turned his head toward the distant desert.
After pondering for a moment, something seemed to come to mind, and he exclaimed in shock, "The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?!"
At this thought, he immediately dropped everything he was doing and dashed toward the north at full speed.
His robes billowed in the wind, revealing a faintly visible character "Mo" on his attire.
Meanwhile, far away in the Sky Serpent Empire—
An elderly man who had been meditating for an unknown period suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharply locking onto the direction of the Jia Ma Empire.
His fingers moved slightly, and several soul transmissions shot out, swiftly relaying his orders.
—
Before long, Qing Lin had fully recovered.
By now, she had completely forgotten her previous fear and was happily playing with the shrunken Desert Rock Serpent in her hands.
She even gave it a name: "Little Yan."
Lin Feng sat beside her, a hint of envy in his gaze.
After Qing Lin subdued the Desert Rock Serpent, her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils automatically absorbed the beast's energy before feeding it back to her.
Because of this, Qing Lin, who had already been close to breaking through the eighth stage of Dou Qi, directly advanced in one go, thanks to the feedback energy.
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng didn't know what to say.
Back then, he had worked tirelessly for several months before managing to break through, but now…
After resting for a while, Lin Feng asked, "Qing Lin, ask it if it knows of any place nearby where the temperature is abnormally high."
"Okay, Young Master."
Upon hearing this, Qing Lin immediately began communicating with Little Yan.
A moment later, Qing Lin looked a little disappointed and said, "Young Master, Little Yan says there's no such place in this area."
"It's fine. We'll keep searching for a stronger serpent-type magic beast. Then, we'll have it command some lower-tier beasts to help us look. That will make things much easier."
Lin Feng gently stroked Qing Lin's silky hair and spoke softly.
Hearing this, Qing Lin turned back and exchanged a few more words with Little Yan before saying, "Young Master, Little Yan says that not far to the east, there's a Rank 3 Horned Viper King. Should we go there?"
Lin Feng was somewhat tempted upon hearing this.
The Horned Viper King was the title given to the leader of the Desert Horned Vipers, a species of group-living serpent-type magic beasts in the desert.
Their level was generally at the Rank 3, but in terms of combat power, they could rival a nine-star Da Dou Shi.
Moreover, they could unleash combination attacks with their kin, making them formidable opponents. Even an average low-tier Dou Ling wouldn't dare provoke them easily.
However, while Lin Feng couldn't defeat it at the moment, if they failed to control it…
With his flying dou technique, Lin Feng was confident that he could escape successfully with Qing Lin.
However, thinking about Qing Lin, Lin Feng glanced at her with some concern and asked, "Can you control it?"
Qing Lin thought for a moment before replying firmly, "Yes."
"Alright, then let's go there."
Hearing Qing Lin's response, Lin Feng no longer hesitated.
He immediately stood up, shielding Qing Lin behind him, and walked towards the east.
Before long, the two of them arrived at the territory of the Horned Viper King.
Looking at the massive creature, over ten meters long and nearly a meter thick, both of them couldn't help but swallow nervously.
If not for Qing Lin, Lin Feng would never have dared to provoke such a monster.
After a brief pause, seeing that Qing Lin was ready, Lin Feng spread his arms, signaling her to come over.
Seeing his gesture, Qing Lin instantly cast aside her fear, a small smile appearing at the corner of her lips.
She quickly ran a few steps forward, then leaped into the air, her petite body landing accurately in Lin Feng's embrace.
Her arms wrapped tightly around the young man's waist, and she buried her little head into his chest.
Breathing in Lin Feng's scent, at this moment, Qing Lin felt that even if she had to walk through fire or climb a mountain of blades, she would not hesitate.
Holding Qing Lin in his arms, Lin Feng immediately activated his dou qi. With a loud "boom,"
A pair of purple wings unfurled behind him.
With a slight tremor of his Purple Cloud Wings, Lin Feng turned into a black shadow, soaring into the sky.
Once above the Horned Viper King, Lin Feng looked at Qing Lin in his arms and said, "Qing Lin, draw its attention."
Qing Lin nodded and retrieved a large cloth-wrapped package from her storage ring.
Lin Feng had prepared this in advance, concerned that carrying Qing Lin would make it inconvenient for him to use dou techniques, and that getting too close to a third-rank magic beast would be too dangerous.
Thus, he had crafted an oversized explosive pack filled with over two hundred jin of gunpowder.
On Earth, even an adult would struggle to carry such a weight.
However, with Qing Lin's seventh-stage Dou Zhi Qi, lifting it was not too difficult.
Following Lin Feng's prior instructions, Qing Lin lit the fuse.
However, instead of aiming directly at the Horned Viper King, she threw it toward its lair.
"Boom!"
A few seconds later, under the confused gaze of the Horned Viper King, the explosive pack detonated.
With a muffled rumble, its carefully excavated sand cave collapsed.
"Hiss~ Roar~"
Seeing its precious home destroyed just like that, the Horned Viper King immediately flew into a rage.
It swiftly turned its massive head, looking toward where the explosion had come from.
Above it, in the sky, it spotted Lin Feng and Qing Lin.
Though its intelligence was limited, it could still deduce that these two were the culprits.
Immediately, it glared at them viciously, letting out a series of furious hisses and roars.
The other desert horned vipers nearby were also alarmed, all turning their fierce gazes toward Lin Feng and Qing Lin.
Seeing that they had been discovered, Lin Feng promptly lowered his altitude.
After dodging several of the Horned Viper King's attacks, he managed to gauge its attack range.
Reaching the optimal height, he shouted loudly, "Qing Lin!"
Hearing Lin Feng's call, Qing Lin quickly took action.
Having already gone through this process once before, she swiftly activated her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
In her emerald-green eyes, three small green dots suddenly appeared, glowing brightly.
A powerful eerie light burst forth from her pupils, enveloping the Horned Viper King in front of her.
