"That's not appropriate. You helped me find the strange fire. I should pay you for it."
Xie Tianxiao shook his head slightly, then looked at the mercenaries beside Xiao Ding and said: "Besides, you don't care about the money, but some of your mercenaries are in great need of it."
Could Xie Tianxiao know what Xiao Dinghuai was thinking?
It's just that Xie Tianxiao is not short of some gold coins now. Although he is powerful, even if he doesn't give them, these people won't complain.
But he is still a "human being" after all, so how can he do what this worker does for the boss, but the boss doesn't pay the workers, leaving them to work in vain?
The mercenaries on the side were all surprised after hearing Xie Tianxiao's words.
I didn't expect that a big shot like the other party would care about low-level mercenaries like them. They all agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, sir, you can be considerate of us poor mercenaries, you are really a kind and good person!"
"Sir, please rest assured, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will definitely find this Qinglian Earth Core Fire for you!"
"Yes, yes, we will never let you down!"
…
Hearing what they said, Xiao Ding smiled awkwardly and said: "Haha...it's Xiao who got into trouble. Senior is really righteous!"
He did not expect that Xie Tianxiao would still think about his brothers after rejecting his kindness. This was simply not in line with the common sense behavior that a strong man should have.
"Brothers, cheer up. Since senior thinks so highly of us, then we will strive to find the strange fire for senior as soon as possible!"
Xiao Ding shouted to his subordinates.
"Hahaha... Captain, you don't need to say anything, we all understand!"
"We must find the strange fire as soon as possible!"
The mercenaries shouted loudly, their eyes full of passion and energy!
"Very well, let's go."
Xie Tianxiao nodded with satisfaction and waved to Xiao Ding.
"Yes, senior!"
Xiao Ding cupped his fists and bowed, then called on the mercenaries to disperse in all directions.
Watching Xiao Ding and others leave, Xie Tianxiao turned around and ordered to Qing Linran beside him: "Qing Lin, you will follow me these days. After I finish solving the things here, I will take you to a suitable place."
"Well, it's all up to you, sir." Qinglin responded obediently.
"Haha... let's go."
Seeing this, Xie Tianxiao smiled softly, gently touched Qinglin's little head with his hand, and took her away from the mercenary station.
He still has to find a better place to stay to wait for the next few days.
…
Time flies, time flies, time passes slowly, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
This day, Stone Desert City, luxury hotel.
"Sir, we found some abnormalities in the eastern part of Stone Desert City."
A mercenary reported to Xie Tianxiaohui.
"Oh, did you find it?"
When Xie Tianxiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"I'm not sure. It's just that the temperature there is much higher than other places. The leader couldn't make up his mind, so he called his subordinates to come down and ask for instructions." The mercenary replied respectfully.
"Not sure..."
After listening to the mercenary's words, a look of deep thought flashed across Xie Tianxiao's face.
If he guessed correctly, that place should be the location of Qinglian's inner fire.
"Yes, the leader not only asked me to tell you the news, but also hopes that you can take action to scare the troublemakers." The mercenary suddenly said.
"The troublemaker? Tell me." Xie Tianxiao asked.
Hearing this, the mercenary continued to report: "During the days we were looking, the people from the Sand Mercenary Group came to cause trouble several times. They restrained themselves after the group leader moved out because of the adults' wishes.
"
"But the situation didn't last long. They became arrogant again. They even came here to cause trouble today. They must have confronted the two captains."
The Sand Mercenary Group is another mercenary group in Stone Desert City besides the Motie Mercenary Group, and it is also the most powerful mercenary group!
"Sand Mercenary Group..."
Upon hearing the mercenary's report, Xie Tianxiao's lips curled up.
He remembered that in the original work, the Sand Mercenary Group thought that Xiao Ding and the others were looking for some advanced martial arts fighting skills, and wanted to take advantage of them.
However, Xiao Yan found out about it and used the strength of a fighting king to frighten the opponent until Xiao Yan returned after subduing the strange fire and was killed by him.
"In that case, go back and tell Xiao Ding that I will be here soon." After thinking about it, Xie Tianxiao said calmly.
"yes!"
The mercenary took the order, turned around and left quickly.
the other side.
To the east of Stone Desert City, there is a vast desert with yellow sand raging.
The two brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were confronting a middle-aged man whose body was full of yellow fighting spirit and whose face was full of cruelty.
"Thunder Arc Three Dances!"
Xiao Li let out a loud cry, and the spear in his hand strangely jumped with heavy electric arcs, and then stabbed the middle-aged man crazily.
"Haha, does the second captain of the famous Motie Mercenary Group have this much strength? What a waste of the thunder attribute fighting spirit, which is known as the most powerful attack power!"
Facing the sudden arc of electricity, the middle-aged man laughed disdainfully, clenched his huge fist suddenly, and the yellow fighting energy on it condensed crazily. In an instant, it condensed into an energy-condensed glove.
He clenched his fist and suddenly exploded out. The violent sound of wind mixed with the ferocious energy directly collided with the arc.
The two collided, and the middle-aged man's fist almost destroyed the three arcs of electricity. After the destruction, the power remained unabated and hit Xiao Li's chest heavily.
"Pfft."
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Xiao Li's body flew backwards.
When Xiao Ding saw this, he quickly helped Xiao Li and asked with concern: "Second brother, are you okay?"
"Brother, I'm fine." Xiao Li gritted his teeth and insisted after wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Rob, when you act like this, aren't you afraid of offending the man who gave us the task?"
Xiao Ding glared at Rob in front of him and said coldly.
"Haha, offended?"
Rob laughed heartily and mocked: "Xiao Ding, you are just a fighting master of a small mercenary group. How can any big shot entrust you with the task?"
"Besides, I've been observing you for several months, but I've never seen that big shot appear!"
"That's right! I think you have discovered some advanced skills left behind by your predecessors, and you want to use this reason to deceive us!"
Not far away from Rob, a man with a sinister face also echoed.
The Yinwu man's name is Mo Xing. He is the second-largest figure in the entire Sand Mercenary Group and the strongest person besides Rob.
"You, you are looking for death!" Xiao Ding said angrily when he heard this.
He didn't expect that Rob didn't believe what he said, and even mocked him for being just a little fighting master and not worthy of being valued by a big shot. How could he endure this!
"Captain, commander!"
At this time, a mercenary ran out of the crowd and shouted anxiously to Xiao Ding.
