Chapter 132: The Illusory Sea Emerges in the Great Desert!
The chase in the Tagore Desert continued.
However, Xiao Ze had already distanced himself considerably from them.
The advantage of his combined flying speed was enormous. He just needed to get a little farther to lose them completely.
Xiao Yan, on the other hand, could only smile bitterly. He had entered the depths of the desert in search of a heavenly flame but stumbled upon Queen Medusa and the leaders of the snake-men clan, patrolling nearby.
To his surprise, he heard Queen Medusa ordering her subordinates to find the heavenly flame, which she planned to use to evolve her blood and reach the Dou Zong level. Upon hearing this astounding secret, Xiao Yan was forced to flee desperately.
He tried to lure a mysterious warrior into sharing the pursuit of the snake-men clan, but that warrior turned out to be faster than him. Even with the help of Yao Lao's spiritual power, Xiao Yan couldn't match his speed, leaving Yao Lao astonished, as that mysterious warrior only seemed to have the strength of a Dou Wang.
Behind them, Queen Medusa was surprised to detect the mysterious warrior, initially thinking he was an accomplice. But realizing he was just a passerby, she decided not to pursue him. She knew that if that warrior decided to flee, he would be hard to catch.
But the spy who had overheard her plan wouldn't leave so easily. Medusa knew that someone with the ability to infiltrate the desert's depths could enter the snake clan's sanctuary at any time. And having heard her plan to evolve using the heavenly flame was dangerous. She couldn't allow that information to spread.
With a spark of coldness in her eyes, Queen Medusa pursued Xiao Yan with fierce murderous intent. Xiao Yan, sensing that intention, could only keep running, while the mysterious warrior had already disappeared.
Meanwhile, after shaking off his pursuers, Xiao Ze ventured deeper into the desert. He covered himself with snake-man blood to mask his human scent and began following the treasure map's indications.
Searching for a location in the vast desert with only a map was no easy task. Fortunately, Xiao Ze could fly, allowing him to identify the terrain from above and quickly change locations if he made a mistake.
During his search, he encountered several snake-man patrols, but they were not strong enough to detect him.
"I've checked dozens of places, and all have been incorrect. Could it be that it can only be accessed at a specific time?" Xiao Ze wondered.
With no more clues on the map, he continued searching patiently. Soon, in an extremely hot area, he felt something different. Although the Tagore Desert was very hot, it wasn't entirely devoid of water energy. But in that place, the water energy seemed to have completely disappeared, even to Xiao Ze's keen perception.
"It seems this is the place..." Xiao Ze murmured, holding the treasure map. He injected a bit of his combat energy into the map, but nothing happened. Then he used his spiritual perception to interact with the map's spiritual energy.
A faint spiritual energy spread from the map, causing a distortion in the space in front of him. Xiao Ze immediately stepped back as the distortion increased, gradually forming an entrance.
"This kind of technique can only be the work of at least a Dou Zun," thought Xiao Ze, surprised and cautious. He knew that the greater the opportunity, the greater the danger.
He tried using his spiritual perception to explore the interior and was astonished.
"There's an Illusory Sea inside!" Xiao Ze exclaimed, marveling. As an alchemist, he was familiar with many strange phenomena on the Dou Qi continent.
The Illusory Sea forms in places with an extreme abundance of water elements, creating a concentrated sea of elemental water, more dangerous than a real sea. But this was in the middle of the desert, which was incredible.
After confirming there was no danger, Xiao Ze entered with the treasure map, and the entrance disappeared behind him. Inside, the abundance of water elements was astounding, attempting to invade his body. He had to suppress the urge to break through at that moment.
Suddenly, the map's spiritual energy emerged, forming a body of water.
"It seems you are the fortunate one who found the Illusory Sea," said an elderly voice.
Xiao Ze, surprised by the figure formed by water, knew that the spiritual energy must have been very powerful in life.
"Greetings, elder. I am just a fortunate one who found this map and, by chance, arrived here," said Xiao Ze respectfully, knowing that the figure didn't have the strength to harm him.
"Ha, ha! This is your fate with the Illusory Sea. Luck is a wonderful thing," said the elder, his voice resonating in the space. "I passed through this desert and found this rare phenomenon. I formed a spatial barrier to protect it and left the map hoping someone like you would find it."
The nature of this encounter in the desert left Xiao Ze astonished, marveling at the mysterious and incredible way nature worked.
