The coordinate for the [Hidden Information] is Youdu City, located on the south side of the Chuyun Empire capital.
In other words, if she goes to Youdu City now, she will have to head south again.
However, Xiao Xue does not plan to head south, but intends to continue heading north first.
She can just stop by on her way back; there is no need to make a special trip.
If a 'dungeon' potentially comparable to the Ali ruins could be discovered, it would have been found long ago; how could it have been left until now?
After all, given Ali's Soul Power, even she did not notice anything unusual when she was in Youdu City.
This means that it is a method left behind by at least a Dou Zun, which ordinary people simply cannot discover.
I guess without the System's prompt, even she would not have discovered that the small city called Youdu City contained [Hidden Information].
Therefore, Xiao Xue is not worried that someone will get there first.
What is meant to be hers, no one can snatch away.
Moreover, the difficulty of this 'hidden dungeon' is probably not low; acting rashly might lead to a big loss.
Therefore, it would be more appropriate to refine the Bone Chilling Flame in the Northern Cold Land and make a Breakthrough to Dou Wang before going.
After checking the [Hidden Information], Xiao Xue exited the reward interface and first took out the communication jade token to report her safety to her family.
However, she did not 'make a call,' but chose to'send a text message.'
Primarily, because of her current location, it is a long-distance call no matter who she calls, and the call charges are very expensive.
To put it in plain terms, if she used the jade tablet to talk to the other side, the Soul imprint on the jade tablet would fade very quickly.
If she waits for the future, when it is truly urgent and she needs to call for help, and the message cannot be sent, that would be embarrassing.
Therefore, Xiao Xue sent messages to everyone else, informing them that she was perfectly fine.
Then, with her Cheap older brother, Xiao Xue had no such concerns and directly chose [Call].
With Yao Lao around, to a certain extent, there is no need to worry about running out of credit or such problems.

On the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, in a small inn.
It was already late at night, and Xiao Yan was sleeping soundly on the bed.
At one moment, the ring on his hand flashed abruptly, and Yao Lao's somewhat illusory figure appeared in the room.
In his hand, he held a slightly vibrating jade tablet, 'Little Yanzi, wake up quickly, your sister!'
Xiao Yan opened his eyes in a daze, '...Uh, Teacher, why are you cursing in the middle of the night?'
Yao Lao was choked up for a moment, 'It's your sister's communication!'
Xiao Yan: '...!!!'
---
Xiao Xue had just tried to make contact, and the other side connected quickly.
A somewhat anxious voice came from the other end: 'Hello? Is that little sister?'
'Brother, it's me,' Xiao Xue replied directly, preempting Xiao Yan before he could ask questions:
'I had some insights recently and went into seclusion for a while. I forgot to tell you and made you worry.'
The other side was clearly relieved, 'That's good. I haven't been able to contact you recently, and I was just about to go to the Tagor Desert to find you.'
'Oh right, little sister, what is going on with that Snake-People Clan prince title of yours?'
Having been unable to contact Xiao Xue for a long time, Xiao Yan naturally came out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range with Yao Lao.
And when they came out, a large number of Snake-People had already begun to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the Jiama Royal Family.
The humans within the Magical Beast Mountain Range were leaving in an orderly manner under the protection of the army.
The few human residents near the Magical Beast Mountain Range were also given 'relocation fees' and evacuated with the masses.
Therefore, after Xiao Yan inquired a little, he got the news of the Alliance between the Snake-People Clan and the Jiama Royal Family, as well as some news about Xiao Xue.
Firstly, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was already the territory of the Snake-People Clan and could not be entered at will;
Secondly, Xiao Xue had become a prince of the Snake-People Clan and had been unreachable for some time.
Thirdly, Yao Lao had heard years ago that the Tagor Desert had a Heavenly Flame, which was something the current Xiao Yan urgently needed.
Therefore, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were preparing to go to the Tagor Desert to take a look.
However, Xiao Yan and the others were not overly anxious.
After all, with his sister's fifth-grade, or even sixth-grade alchemy skills, as well as her strength and background;
If nothing else, in the Jia Ma Empire, there would definitely be no one blind enough to come and court death.
Being able to become a prince shows that her status in the Snake-People Clan must be quite high.
Moreover, the communication jade tablet had other uses besides communication.
If Xiao Xue were dead, the jade tablet would have shattered, and right now, the jade tablet was perfectly fine.
Therefore, although they had been unable to make contact for a while, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were not too worried.
And just like that, on the night before he was about to set off for the desert, Xiao Xue's 'call' came through.

'Snake-People Clan prince???'
Xiao Xue subconsciously turned her head to look at Medusa and shook the jade tablet in her hand.
Although she didn't speak, the meaning was quite clear, 'What's going on? Explain?'
She didn't know what kind of trouble Medusa had caused in those few days.
Under Medusa's awkward but polite smile and explanation, Xiao Xue quickly understood the ins and outs.
She had originally intended to let the Snake-People Clan form an Alliance with the Jiama Royal Family after helping Medusa evolve.
As a result, before she could even take action to push it, Medusa had actively established the Alliance.
However, although this was unexpected, it was harmless.
Regarding what happened in the Snake-People Clan, Xiao Xue told Xiao Yan a mixture of truth and lies.
After all, could she tell Xiao Yan, 'Brother, I was... ah no, the female snake who was supposed to be your woman... did she get me?'
That was obviously impossible, at least not for now.
Therefore, Xiao Xue shielded Medusa and told Xiao Yan and Yao Lao about her desert trip.
In the version Xiao Yan heard, the story was like this—
When Xiao Xue was heading north, she accidentally discovered a ruin, obtained the Break-Sect Pill inside, and then met Queen Medusa.
After using her 'background' to deter Queen Medusa, she gave the Break-Sect Pill to Medusa, helping her make a Breakthrough to Dou Zong.
Then, it was the Alliance between the Snake-People Clan and the Jiama Royal Family, and she went out for training with Medusa.
While it was said to be training together, Medusa was actually more like a 'bodyguard' and 'enforcer' she had hired.
Xiao Yan and the others did not have too many doubts about this explanation.
'Oh right, brother,' Xiao Xue suddenly thought, 'There seems to be a Heavenly Flame on the outskirts of Stone Desert City.'
'If you go to the Tagor Desert, you can go there and take a look.'
The two chatted about some other things, and then ended the communication.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jia Nan Academy.
A young girl had a jade tablet tied to her wrist, which she did not take off even when bathing or sleeping.
The jade tablet vibrated slightly, and the sleeping girl suddenly opened her eyes.
