Outside Stone Desert City, the scorching sun was shining brightly, and the members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group were still exploring carefully.
"Brother, have you noticed that there seems to be no one from the Sand Mercenary Group around here today?" Standing on a sand dune, Xiao Li glanced around. After a while, he frowned slightly and tilted his head.
Said to Xiao Ding on the side.
"Haha, not only are there none here, but even the members of the Sand Mercenary Group that used to hang around in Stone Desert City have strangely become much less. And according to the information I got...last night, that guy Mo Xing,
It seems that he died, but Sharo did not become angry because of this incident. Instead, he was as quiet as if he was completely unaware." Xiao Ding had a smile in his eyes and said with a smile: "Xiao Yanzi is really.
It’s getting more and more confusing. He treated the Sand Mercenary Group like this, but he was able to shock Sharo so much that he didn’t even fart. Gee, what kind of strength does this require? I really don’t know how he did it.
of."
"It's indeed a bit speechless. Alas, after just a few years of not seeing each other, this little guy has become more and more mysterious." Xiao Li nodded and said with a wry smile.
Xiao Ding chuckled lightly, tilted his head, and glanced at a sand dune not far away dedicated to resting. There, the young man did not enter the tent to avoid the scorching sun, but stared at the scorching sun, crossing his legs.
Sitting on the hot sand, slowly absorbing the rich fire energy in the surrounding world, letting the sweat roll down from his forehead like running water, wetting his clothes.
"In the past, when he was a child, although his talent was amazing, he lost a bit of resilience and perseverance in his bones. I think that during those three years of waste, although he suffered a lot of looks and ridicule, but in the long run,
It seems that it has repaired the last flaw in his ability to become a truly strong person...at least. The former Xiao Yanzi would never have had the determination to come to the Tagore Desert alone for such arduous training.
." Looking at the young man who seemed unwilling to waste any time, Xiao Ding sighed softly and said with some sigh.
"Yes." Hearing this, Xiao Li nodded with deep sympathy. If you want to become a truly strong person, talent is important, but without perseverance and resilience, your final achievements will still be high or low.
Just because the Dou Qi Continent is huge, there are naturally a lot of geniuses, but in the end, only a few people can become the pinnacle experts.
Therefore, the impact of the waste period on Xiao Yan will become more and more clear in the future on his journey to becoming a strong man. At that time, he may suddenly understand that the three years of waste period were not a blow, but a blow.
A training that would affect his entire life.
"Captain! The third team seems to have found some traces of the passage!"
Just when Xiao Ding and Xiao Ding were sighing at each other, a figure from the distance suddenly ran quickly and shouted excitedly.
"Found it?" 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 eyes to the sand dunes. Xiao Yan also opened his eyes at this time.
At first glance, there was surprise and surprise on his face.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly retreated from the cultivation state. He patted the yellow sand on his body, hurriedly faced the running figure, and asked eagerly: "Did you find the passage?"
"Hehe, we seem to have found some traces. Judging from our experience, it is very likely that it is the passage leading to the underground." The mercenary who ran over said with a grin.
"Okay!" His palms clapped together in surprise, and Xiao Yan couldn't wait to urge: "Let's go. Take me to see it quickly!"
"Okay." The mercenary glanced at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li who were coming quickly from behind. He smiled and nodded, then quickly turned around and led the way.
I followed the mercenary and jogged in the north direction for a few minutes. I saw a large crowd of people gathered in a slightly sunken sandy area, whispering to each other.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The mercenary leading the way yelled and drove out a path. Xiao Yan followed and walked in. He glanced at it and was surprised to find that the sunken place here had been dug by the mercenaries.
After exiting a hole about half a meter away, I glanced at the inside of the hole. It was pitch black, and a faint heat was rising from it.
"Is this here?" Xiao Yan pointed at the black hole and asked, looking around.
"Haha, yes, the entrance to the cave here was originally blocked by yellow sand. If Qing Lin hadn't noticed that there was some strange smell left here, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for us to discover it." A mercenary replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan glanced at Qing Lin opposite and found that the little girl was covered in yellow sand, but there was some happiness on her delicate little face.
Sensing Xiao Yan's gaze sweeping over, Qing Lin looked at him, her face slightly shy, and then she winked at him playfully.
"Haha, little girl, you did a great job!" He gave a thumbs up to Qing Lin and looked at the little girl's face that had a bright smile because of it. Xiao Yan smiled softly and slowly came to the dark entrance of the cave. He turned his palm over and said,
A moonstone appeared in his hand, and he threw it into the hole.
The faint light emitted by the moonstone gradually disappeared completely after rolling several times in the dark cave.
Looking at the moonstone that quickly disappeared, Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said softly: "It seems that this passage is not a straight line."
"Well, we have had people initially detect it before. There are at least a dozen passages down here, and each of them is winding and winding, just like the passages that a giant snake crawls through." The mercenary who led the way earlier smiled bitterly.
replied.
"Is that so..." Xiao Yan frowned, feeling a little distressed.
"How about I send someone down to search one by one?" Xiao Ding's laughter suddenly came from behind.
Looking back, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't know what dangers there will be down here. The Motie Mercenary Group spent so much manpower to help me find the passage. I am already very satisfied."
Well, if they are allowed to enter again, if something suddenly appears and causes some damage, that is not a situation I want to see."
"Haha, little brother Xiao Yan, don't worry, there are no greedy people in our Motie mercenary regiment." The surrounding Motie regiment members laughed.
"Let's do this. I'll pick a dozen or so strong members and then go down with you to have a look. After all, we don't worry about letting you go alone. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I'm afraid my furious father will rush straight from Wutan City.
Come here and kill us." Xiao Ding pondered for a while and chuckled.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan hesitated for a while, and had no choice but to nod his head, remained silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "But if there is any emergency down there, I hope that you, brother, can lead the people to retreat first. As for
There is no need to worry about my safety..."
Looking at Xiao Yan's solemn expression, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at each other and nodded slightly. After Xiao Yan solved the problem of the Sand Mercenary Group last night, they no longer had any doubts about his hidden strength.
.
"That...young master...there is still some aura of that person half a year ago in the passage below. I think I should be able to lead you to find the right passage." Just when Xiao Yan was about to take action, Qing Lin's timidity
The sound suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Really?" Xiao Yan quickly turned his head, staring at Qing Lin, who was as cute as a porcelain doll, and said happily.
"Yeah." Looking at Xiao Yan's joy, Qing Lin covered her mouth and smiled, nodding slightly.
"Little girl, it really works, haha." Xiao Yan jumped over the cave entrance, patted Qinglin's little head, looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and chuckled: "In this case, let's set off, shall we?"
"Haha, okay." Xiao Ding nodded with a smile, glanced around, then quickly named some names, and then said in a deep voice to the others: "After we enter, step up the security around us."
Defense must not be messed up by others. This kind of sand layer is not very strong. If the sand layer collapses accidentally, the people who enter may be buried alive..."
"Captain, don't worry. If anyone dares to enter this area during this period, no matter who he is, then we will have to deal with him ruthlessly!" After hearing Xiao Ding's order, the surrounding Motie mercenary members,
Suddenly they responded in unison with fierce expressions on their faces.
"As for the second brother, after we go down, you will be needed to take command up here. If you don't put someone up there to take command, I won't be at ease." After giving instructions to everyone, Xiao Ding still felt a little unsafe and tilted his head again.
He said to Xiao Li.
Hearing this, Xiao Li, who originally planned to go down with him, had no choice but to nod his head helplessly.
After everything was ordered, Xiao Ding took out a large bundle of rope from the side, tested its strength, and then tied it to a wooden stake that had already been fixed. At the same time, he threw the rope in his hand into
into the cave.
"This passage is not too steep. These ropes are just for safety. If we hear someone shouting below, the people above can quickly pull us up with ropes." Xiao Ding clapped his hands and said with a smile.
.
Seeing that Xiao Ding had even thought about this properly, Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile and took the lead to arrive at the dark cave entrance, tilting his head and waving to Qing Lin beside him.
Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, Qing Lin hurried over and stared at Xiao Yan with a pair of strange green eyes.
Looking roughly at those charming green pupils, Xiao Yan exclaimed in his heart, then stretched out his arms, took Qing Lin's astonished little face into his arms, and said with a smile: "You will do it later.
Show me the way."
Being held in Xiao Yan's arms, Qinglin's little face gradually turned crimson, and he lowered his face and nodded softly.
"Everyone, let's go!" Xiao Yan smiled softly, nodded to Xiao Ding, then took the lead in grabbing the rope and jumped into the dark cave.
"The strange fire...is it really there down there? I hope you won't disappoint me..." His body quickly slid through the passage, Xiao Yan tightened the Qinglin in his arms, and murmured in a low voice.
