Chapter 104 Why are you chasing me!
The entire city of the Serpent People was plunged into great turmoil.
Because of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, the even more terrifying Wind Fury Dragon Flame was also attracted.
Even from hundreds of miles away, the enormous fiery tornado, hundreds of feet tall, was clearly visible in every part of the holy city.
"What is that?"
Most of the snake people did not recognize this strange fire. All they could see was that the terrifying fire tornadoes distorted the sky and burned even the endless yellow sand to ashes.
The speed of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame is extremely fast, moving hundreds of meters per second, which is several times faster than ordinary wind. This speed is barely enough to catch up with a Dou Huang, but it is absolutely impossible for a Dou Wang to outrun it.
Coupled with its terrifying attraction, anyone who gets close is almost certain to be swept into it and then reduced to ashes in flames and howling winds.
Normally, even if such a terrifying thing appeared, with Queen Medusa leading the charge, they might be able to fight to the death.
But now that Queen Medusa's fate is unknown, there's no way anyone can lead the snake people to launch a counterattack against this raging dragon fire.
As the raging dragon flames drew ever closer, the terrifying heat instantly made the blood of all the snake people boil.
The blood of snake people is cold and sinister; this boiling of blood is a sign that the body has exceeded its temperature tolerance limit.
If they don't get away soon, their blood will evaporate and they'll turn into mummies.
However, this is the holy city of the entire snake people tribe. Even if they wanted to escape, where could they escape to?
"All guards, assemble! Fire poison arrows and spears! We must not let that thing get near the Holy City!"
At this moment, tens of thousands of snake-man guards climbed the city walls, and facing the terrifying, enormous fire tornado, not one of them chose to retreat.
This is the last sacred place for the snake people; once it falls, they will have nowhere to live in peace.
"Release the arrows!"
Tens of thousands of arrows imbued with battle aura were shot out, flying towards the ever-growing and terrifying natural disaster.
However, the outer edge of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame is an extremely terrifying wind field. Anything that gets close will be pulled towards it by its powerful attraction and then burned to ashes under the high temperature.
The countless arrows shot by the snake-men were engulfed in the Wind Fury Dragon Flame before they even got close, turning into wisps of black ash that filled the sky.
"Don't be afraid, keep firing!"
Even though they knew it was futile, the snake people fought against the raging dragon flames wave after wave.
But no matter how many times they tried, the result was the same. Looking at the fiery tornado less than ten miles from the Holy City, some snake people with low cultivation were even directly evaporated of their blood at this distance, turning into dried corpses.
Even snake-people at the Great Battle Master level or above felt discomfort under this terrifyingly high temperature.
"It's over, the snake-people tribe is finished!"
"Where is Her Majesty the Queen? Why hasn't she appeared yet?"
"Is this the end for me, a snake-man?"
"Don't give up, hold on to the very last moment, believe in Her Majesty the Queen, and believe in ourselves!"
Various emotions erupted in the holy city, but even though no less than a hundred snake people had died from blood evaporation, Queen Medusa was nowhere to be seen.
All the snake people knew that the city wall, which could withstand a full-force attack from a Dou Wang, was utterly vulnerable in the face of this terrifying strange fire.
It seemed that the destruction of the Serpent People's Holy City was inevitable, and countless Serpent People fell into despair. Some Serpent People even blamed Medusa for this tragedy.
The deeper one's faith, the deeper one's hatred when hope is shattered.
"Everyone else has already evacuated the Serpent People's Holy City. We can't stop the advance of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame; we can only slow it down and find an opportunity to break through."
In the sky, Guhe and Yunyun kept a certain distance from the Wind Fury Dragon Flame to avoid being directly sucked into it.
In general, the front of the Windfury Dragon Flame's trajectory is the most dangerous, while the rear is the safest.
However, the speed of the wind is not constant, and when they find the slowest gust of wind, they can only wait.
It was precisely because the wind-attribute Yunyun was here that Guhe believed there was a glimmer of hope.
As for the destruction of the Serpent People's Holy City, it wasn't because they attracted the Wind Fury Dragon Flame. On the contrary, if they had subdued the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, they could have even resolved the crisis in the desert.
However, at this time, Guhe and Yunyun could not possibly consider joining forces with the snake people. He understood the principle that those who are not of our kind will surely have different intentions.
The raging dragon flames continued to approach the Serpent People's Holy City, and soon they were less than five miles away.
At this distance, the city wall was already incredibly hot, and even showed faint signs of melting.
Just when all the snake people were in despair and had given up resistance, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame suddenly stopped. Then, it changed its course and bypassed the snake people's holy city.
As the Windfury Dragon Flame departed, the previously terrifying temperature gradually decreased.
The Serpent City also seems to have escaped this catastrophe.
"What happened? That terrifying tornado seems to have left?"
"This must be the protection of the gods! Praise be to the Serpent Goddess! Praise be to Queen Medusa!"
The survivors were overjoyed, and laughter and cheers echoed throughout the Serpent People's Holy City.
However, while they did escape unscathed, some people suffered.
With the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in hand, Xiao Yan prepared to leave the Snake-Man Holy City and escape to a place where no one would discover him before beginning to absorb and refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
What he didn't expect was that the raging dragon flames that were heading straight for the Serpent People's Holy City suddenly changed direction and began to move rapidly toward his location.
"Damn it, why are they chasing me?!"
Even though Xiao Yan unleashed his full flying combat skills, leaving a trail of light in the sky, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame was faster and the distance between them was gradually closing.
"Could it be... the strange fire in my hand?"
Xiao Yan suddenly realized that different flames can breathe and attract each other, and the appearance of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame was specifically aimed at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
Most importantly, he now possesses not only the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame but also the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame. With both of these extraordinary flames present, he naturally becomes the primary target of the Wind Fury Dragon Flame's pursuit.
Xiao Yan felt incredibly aggrieved. Others were being chased by powerful figures or magical beasts, but he alone was being chased by a strange fire!
If it were any other alchemist, they would probably be overjoyed to encounter Windfury Dragon Flame approaching them.
However, now that he already possesses the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, being pursued by the Wind Fury Dragon Flame is tantamount to forcing him to deal with two different flames simultaneously, or abandoning the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, escaping the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, and giving up both different flames.
Now that he already has the strange fire in his hands, how could Xiao Yan possibly choose to give it up? But it is precisely because of this that he has fallen into a dilemma: either he must subdue two strange fires at the same time, or he will be destroyed by the two strange fires.
