Chapter 96 Discovering the Traces of the Strange Fire

It is not easy to do the exploration work.

And as a major force in Shimo City, there are naturally countless eyes watching the every move of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. Therefore, not long after Xue Lan brought a large number of people out, some vagrants began to appear in the area where Xiao Yan and his group were, looking at the Desert Iron Mercenary Group members who were slowly exploring the terrain with confusion.

Fortunately, Xiao Ding had already mobilized personnel to block this area tightly, so the mercenaries and other personnel who came to watch were ruthlessly blocked outside.

As the exploration progressed, more and more people gathered around. Although Xiao Ding said to the outside world that the Desert Iron Mercenary Group took a large-scale action because they wanted to hunt a third-level monster, the crowd around was still gradually increasing.

Seeing that he seemed to be unable to help, Xiao Yuan studied the low-level earth attribute technique given to him by Yao Lao, the Earth Kun Sutra.

Qinglian hid in the tent specially set up by Xiao Yuan, blinking his eyes and staring blankly at Xiao Yuan who was practicing.

Seeing his brother so diligent, Xiao Yan, who was standing by, felt embarrassed to be idle and started to practice.

Seeing the two younger brothers practicing whenever they got the chance, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were also quite moved. To be able to have such strength at such an age, it was obvious that they had made great efforts.

Time passed quickly. When the scorching sun in the sky gradually set in the west, the crowd watching from the outside suddenly became chaotic. A team of at least 40 mercenaries slowly separated the crowd and walked towards the isolation zone.

"It's the people of the Sand Mercenary Group. This time there will be a good show..."

"Hehe, that Rob finally lost his temper."

Seeing the mercenary team separating the crowd, the surrounding crowds of onlookers suddenly whispered.

"It seems that I still overestimated that guy's patience..."

Looking at the approaching team, Xiao Ding shook his head and said sarcastically.

"Let's go and have a look. Without a clear investigation, Rob won't show up yet. The leader now seems to be the second-best person in the Sand Mercenary Group, Mo Xing, right? Hehe, the defeated general dares to come to us for trouble."

Looking at it, Xiao Li sneered.

"Yeah."

Xiao Ding nodded slightly, waved his hand, and more than 20 members of the Desert Iron Group were separated from the surrounding area. The weapons in their hands were shining with a cold light. They walked out of the isolation zone with a bad face and looked coldly at the mercenary team coming over.

The two teams met, and the atmosphere between them was tense. As the two major forces in Shimo City, they had many conflicts in the past.

"Stop, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group is on a mission, please don't interfere."

Raising his eyes, Xiao Ding's voice was as calm as a routine.

"Hey, Captain Xiao Ding, I haven't heard of when the Mercenary Union issued such a mission! And the area within dozens of miles around Shimo City is a public area. It seems that there is nothing wrong with me bringing people here?"

The head of the Sand Mercenary Group was a man with a gloomy face. He glanced at the explorers in the isolation zone and laughed.

"Mo Xing, if it weren't for Rob's action last time, you would probably have become a cripple now, right?"

Xiao Li glanced at this extremely annoying man and smiled maliciously.

Hearing this, Mo Xing's face twitched slightly, suppressed the fear in his eyes, and sneered: "Let's not beat around the bush. Our captain is also very interested in this place, so..."

Before he finished speaking, a black iron spear pierced his heart.

"So you can die..."

The flat voice came slowly from Xiao Yuan's mouth, who suddenly appeared in front of Mo Xing and pierced his heart with a gun.

Looking at the spear on his chest, Mo Xing opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but Xiao Yuan pulled his arm and pulled the spear back from his chest, taking away his last ray of life.

When everyone present saw this scene, a chill suddenly went straight from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

No one noticed how Xiao Yuan appeared, and they even felt that Xiao Yuan's appearance there was as if it was natural and there was no sense of disobedience.

This also means that Xiao Yuan's strength is far beyond theirs!

You know, even Rob, who is a great fighter, doesn't have such speed!

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li didn't expect that Xiao Yuan would actually shoot directly and kill Mo Xing in one shot, but they quickly reacted and shouted and rushed up with his men.

Although it was more than 20 people against more than 40 people, the members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group were generally stronger than those of the Sand Mercenary Group.

Coupled with the deterrent power brought by Xiao Yuan's terrible strength, half of the members of the Sand Mercenary Group fell down in an instant.

The remaining half saw that the situation was not good, and immediately threw away their weapons and shouted to surrender.

Looking at the members of the Sand Mercenary Group who surrendered on the spot in an instant, the people watching around couldn't help but boo in unison.

But they didn't feel ashamed at all.

If they resisted again, they would die.

What a bullshit face, life is above everything!

"Tsk, that's it?"

Xiao Li sneered, looked at Mo Xing who was already dead on the ground, shook his head, and then came to Xiao Yuan's side, smiling and said:

"Your strength is a bit too strong! But there is still a problem that you need to solve. The leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, Rob, is a great fighter. We have completely fallen out with him this time. I guess After the news spreads back, he will have to bring people over. "

"What are you talking about? Xiao Yuan is just a fighting master. It's too dangerous to go to the Sand Mercenary Group alone!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ding came over and scolded with a frown.

"Ahem, brother, isn't this a joke on Xiao Yuan!"

Xiao Li shrank his neck when he heard this and said with a sneer.

Hearing this, Xiao Ding glared at Xiao Li again, then looked at Xiao Yuan, and said softly: "Don't worry, although that Luo Bu is a great fighting master, the fighting masters and fighters in their group are not as good as ours in terms of quantity and quality. of.

After the loss just now, it is even worse. There is not a single fighting master left, only a few fighting masters are left. There are still two fighting masters in our group. When the time comes, the four of us brothers will go together, even if he is Even the Great Fighter may not be able to deal with us! The remaining people are enough to easily kill the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under him! "

Xiao Yuan shook his head when he heard this and said with a smile: "Big brother and second brother, Xiao Yan seems to be showing signs of a breakthrough, so you just stay here. As for Luo Bu, just leave it to me. In Shimo City, Xiao Yan should be named Xiao. "

Hearing this, Xiao Ding looked solemn and looked at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li understood immediately and turned around to lead his people back to protect Xiao Yan.

"Can you... really do it? Don't force it!"

Xiao Ding frowned slightly and said worriedly.

"Brother, don't worry, I will leave after killing Rob!"

Nodding with a smile, Xiao Yuan waved to Xiao Ding, pulled up a camel next to him, jumped up, kicked lightly with his heels, and flew towards Shimo City with a wisp of yellow dust.

Looking at the retreating figure, Xiao Ding let out a breath and chose to believe Xiao Yuan.

The moon is like a silver plate, and the stars are hidden.

Shimo City is quite quiet in the dark night. In the west area of ​​Shimo City, there is a huge courtyard with bright lights, and the sound of laughter and playing is constantly coming from it. In the mid-air of the courtyard, a flag is hung on a wooden pole. There are five characters "Sand Mercenary Group" painted on it.

A gust of wind blew by, twisting the flag.

In a room in the center of the compound, the faint light completely drove away the darkness in the room. In the room, there was a middle-aged man with an impatient look on his face. He was the Sand Mercenary Group. The leader of the group, Rob.

"This Moxing is really slow!"

Rob frowned slightly and said to himself.

"laugh!"

At this time, there was a sound of breaking wind outside the window, and Rob felt a chill on his back vest, and he immediately condensed the khaki fighting spirit armor without hesitation.

Douqi armor is a method that can only be used by strong masters. Its defensive power is even more powerful than Douqi gauze.

Moreover, Rob's fighting spirit attribute is earth, and he is very good at defense. At this moment, the fighting spirit armor appeared, even if it blocked the spear behind him.

"Haha, it seems that a great fighter like Captain Rob is still very difficult to get rid of with this small sneak attack!"

Xiao Yuan drew his spear, and the terrifying force staggered Rob, but it did not hurt Rob.

After all, Xiao Yuan is just a five-star fighting master now, while Rob is already a four-star fighting master.

"who are you!"

Looking at Xiao Yuan, who had a young face but a rather strong aura, Rob asked gloomily.

"The third commander of the Motie Mercenary Group is Xiao Yuan. As for Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, they are my two brothers."

Xiao Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Haha, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li are really confused. You are only a fighting master, but you dare to come to our Sand Mercenary Group to die!"

Rob originally thought that Xiao Yuan, who had reached the Dou Shi level at such a young age, was probably from some big family or power. When he heard that he was the younger brother of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, he was relieved and said with a sneer.

"No, the person who is going to die tonight will definitely be you!"

Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and stepped out with dragon steps. The fighting energy from the Platinum Qi Palace and the Crimson Fire Qi Palace was poured into the Black Water Qi Palace. Xiao Yuan's aura suddenly surged to the peak of Dou Shi.

Feeling the surge of aura on Xiao Yuan's body, Rob suddenly felt that his idea was wrong. This kind of secret method to improve strength is not something ordinary people can possess!

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan shouted in a deep voice and rushed towards Rob.

Seeing this, Luo Bu quickly took out the two swords from Najie and faced Xiao Yuan's attack.

However, at the next moment, a huge force came, knocking him upside down, smashing through the door and falling into the courtyard.

In the yard, there were still some fighting mercenaries laughing and joking. Suddenly, they saw their boss flying out, and they quickly surrounded him.

Immediately afterwards, a green light and shadow flashed past, and a silently roaring wild lion rushed out and hit Rob, who had just sat up. The aftermath directly blew the Dou Zhi mercenaries upside down. Whether you live or die, it all depends on fate.

Blood oozed from the corner of Rob's mouth, and he looked at Xiao Yuan with a gloomy expression.

The attack just now was definitely some kind of Xuan-level fighting skill, and the level was not low.

Fortunately, he used earth-attribute skills and had strong defense, but only suffered some minor injuries.

"Oh, so thick-skinned?"

Xiao Yuan was also a little surprised. After all, this Crazy Lion's Roar was an advanced Xuan-level fighting skill, but it didn't seriously injure Rob. Sure enough, his own strength was still too weak.

But yes, I didn't explode all my fighting spirit just now, so it's normal that the damage caused wasn't high enough.

"Damn boy, I want to see today whether your secret technique will end first or whether my fighting spirit will be exhausted first!"

As Rob spoke, he activated his fighting spirit again, and the fighting spirit armor on his body became stronger and brighter.

Xiao Yuan was also a little speechless when he saw Rob making a gesture of shrinking into a turtle shell.

I have to say, this is indeed a good choice.

The method of instilling the Five Yuan Qi Mansion was a considerable burden for him.

However, a four-star great fighting master is not even qualified to let him go all out to pour the fighting energy from four qi palaces into one qi palace!

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan held the spear, and the wind attribute fighting energy began to gather and condense on the tip of the spear.

Above the spear, the green light gradually became thicker, and the yin and yang flames were also mixed in. The terrifying high temperature, and the stone slabs under the scorching spear were dry and cracked.

Rob's pupils shrank when he saw this, and he smelled the smell of death from the terrifying blue light.

brake!

The next moment, Xiao Yuan's figure floated out like flying catkins, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Rob. The black spear pierced out with the force of a green dragon's claws, carrying a strong aura of death.

"Ding!"

The tip of the spear pierced the fighting spirit armor, and there was a clear sound.

Looking at the completely undamaged fighting spirit armor, Rob was stunned.

That's it?

However, just as the thoughts in his mind arose, the wind attribute fighting energy condensed into dark blue turned into a thin line and shot out.

call out!

Rob felt a pain in his chest, and immediately his power dissipated like a tide. Black and white flames raged inside his body. Soon, his eyes lost their sparkle.

"Tsk, it's so useful. I love Sister Yun so much."

Xiao Yuan looked at withdrawing the spear, looking at Rob who fell on the ground, and chuckled.

Immediately afterwards, he took off Rob's ring with ease.

Around him, many members of the Sand Mercenary Group who came to inquire looked at Luo Bu who died under Xiao Yuan's gun with dull expressions on their faces.

The leader is dead?

"Starting from today, the Sand Mercenary Group will be disbanded. If you are willing to join our Motie Mercenary Group, you can report directly to the Motie Mercenary Group tomorrow. If you are not willing, you can be Rob's companion. There should be no one who is unwilling. ?”

Xiao Yuan saw this and said with a smile.

grass!

Hearing this, the surrounding mercenaries cursed in their hearts.

You fucking said that, who dares not to!

"Good, you made the right choice."

Xiao Yuan smiled, then swaggered out of the Sand Mercenary Group's station, carrying his spear.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, helpless sighs could be heard one after another.

The next day.

Outside Shimo City, under the scorching sun, the members of the Motie Mercenary Group were still searching closely.

"Brother, Xiao Yuan really killed Rob."

Standing on a sand dune, Xiao Li glanced around, then turned his head and said to Xiao Ding beside him.

There was a smile in Xiao Ding's eyes, and he smiled and said: "He came back in the middle of the night last night and is still sleeping in the tent. I have asked Qinglian to call him."

"I think Xiao Yuan is pretty good at Qing Lian, do you think this guy can do it?"

Xiao Li rolled his eyes when he heard this and smiled meaningfully.

"Second brother, as soon as I got up, I heard you talking bad about me!"

Xiao Yuan's helpless voice sounded behind Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

"Haha, are you awake?"

Xiao Ding smiled softly and asked.

"Well, it's still tiring to deal with a big fighter."

Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard the words, and immediately glanced around, and immediately found that not far away, Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged on the hot sand under the scorching sun, slowly absorbing the richness of the surrounding heaven and earth. The fire attribute energy allowed the sweat to roll down from his forehead like running water, soaking his clothes.

"Tsk, is Xiaoyan practicing again? Then I'll practice for a while, so I'll bother you and my second brother to keep an eye on me!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan hurriedly walked over. As soon as he sat down and prepared to practice, he heard a burst of excited shouting:

"Captain! The third team seems to have found some traces of the passage!"

Xiao Yuan turned around and saw a figure running quickly towards Xiao Ding and Xiao Li in the distance.

"Found?"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were stunned at the same time. Immediately, ecstasy filled their faces. They looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to the sand dunes. Xiao Yan also opened his eyes at this time, with a look on his face. There are surprises and surprises.

"Let's go over and have a look!"

Xiao Yuan stood up, pulled Xiao Yan over, and asked the running figure:

"Did you find the passage?"

"Hey, it seems that we have found some traces. Based on our experience, it is very likely that it is the passage leading to the underground."

The mercenary who ran over grinned innocently.

"good!"

Xiao Yan on the side clapped his palms together and urged:

"Let's go, take me to see it!"

"okay."

After following the mercenary as he trotted north for a few minutes, he saw a large crowd of people gathered in a slightly sunken sandy area, whispering.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The mercenary who led the way shouted out a road. Xiao Yuan and the other four followed them. They glanced at each other and were surprised to find that the mercenaries had dug out a half-meter-long hole in the sunken place here. At the entrance of the cave, a faint heat rises from it.
