The Battle Through Heaven
Terrain Survey
In the vast desert, yellow sand raged.
"Qing Lin, are you sure it's here?" Xiao Yan's face was filled with shock as he watched the flat desert before him. The terrain here was very ordinary with nothing special that would attract one's attention and there were many similar places within the deser. It was hard for Xiao Yan to imagine that there was a trace of ‘He Heavenly Fire’ in such a simple place.
Behind Xiao Yan was Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. At the same time, there were dozens of elite members of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company. At this moment, however, they all threw suspicious gazes at Qing Lin in front of those leading the way. For people who had lived in Rock Desert City for several years or even more than a decade, this place was simply incredible. Even some of these people had even come here several times to carry out their duties. They had never felt anything unusual here compared to other places
Despite being the focus of everyone's attention, Qing Lin, who was a little shy, gathered her courage, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Young Master, based on my senses, based on my senses, an unusual event that happened half a year ago comes from here . "
Hearing this, Xiao Yan clenched his brows. He stood on a small sand dune, raised his head and looked around. Face grim.
"It looks like there are no special buildings or strange caves. But if Qing Lin was right because there was nothing on the surface or in the sky then, it might be here. " Xiao Ding glanced around before suddenly crouching down. His hand grabbed the sand and slowly let it fall as he said softly.
"Sister, you mean it's underground?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment as he said in a stunned voice.
"Yes, although there are many strong people who can use the air rounds in the desert to create mirages that can fool the eyes of people, he said, the level of distortion in the air around Stone Desert City was not enough to create such a miracle. So, after eliminating this possibility because there is no hidden mirage and since our eyes cannot see it, then the highest possibility is that it is underground "Xiao Ding analyzed with a smile.
Nodding, Xiao Yan stepped on the ground gently. He immediately smiled bitterly, "Even if the secret is underground, it is impossible for us to dig at random."
"Haha, naturally we can't. If we randomly dig a hole in the desert, we might bury ourselves alive. However, Queen Medusa could come down, so I guess there must be a hidden path. " Shaking his head while smiling again, Xiao Ding said, "It just so happens that there are some terrain survey experts in our company. As long as we ask them to survey the area, it should not be difficult to find an underground passageway. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yan sighed. He said with a smile, "Since it's already like this, then I should trouble them."
"Finding the entrance was a small matter However, this place was not far from Rock Desert City. If we make a big fuss by conducting a survey here, I fear that the other powers in Rock Desert City will notice it. The night in the Tager Desert is very short. If we only work at night, not only waste a lot of time but we might lose some important places due to the darkness..In the Stone Desert City, with the power of our Desert Metal Mercenary Company, we have lost some important places, other small forces would not dare to offend us. But the Sand Mercenary Company will probably come out and do something. " Xiao Ding shook his head, frowned and said helplessly.
The Sand Mercenary Company? Xiao Yan frowned.
"The "Sand Mercenary Company was the strongest force in Rock Desert City other than the city's military strength. Although in terms of overall strength, our Desert Metal Mercenary Company will not lose to them, their Company Leader, Lou Bu, is a Da Dou Shi. You should know clearly the difference between a Da Dou Shi and a Dou Shi. So, if nothing mattered, we would normally not offend the Sand Mercenary Company. However, if we make a big fuss by searching around here, it will arouse their curiosity. In such a situation they would naturally not play the role of observers. " Xiao Li, who was on one side, said helplessly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan pursed his lips. He quietly thought for a while, then raised his head to look at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. Smiling, he said, "It's okay. Big Brother, Second Brother, you two just need to worry about the search. However, please do not spread the news about ‘Api Heavenly’. As for the Sand Mercenary Company.if they intend to interfere then I will handle it. "
"Hehe, everyone here has the backbone of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company. They are brothers who have followed us as we struggle little by little to create this power. The secret matter was not a problem at all. " Xiao Li patted his chest. However, he immediately said in a worried voice, "You can handle Luo Bu from the Sand Mercenary Company? Your power "
"Second Brother, relax. Since I said this, I naturally have my confidence. You just have to send people to find a way in. " Xiao Yan smiled mysteriously.
Looking at the mysterious Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li nodded helplessly. But they kind of believed it. They knew that with Xiao Yan's character, he would never joke about such a situation.
"It's getting harder to see through this little boy." After muttering in their hearts, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged gazes and saw the same feeling in each other's eyes.
"good. Since it was already like this, Xue Lan, immediately returned to the Desert Metal Mercenary Company. Call all members who specialize in field surveys. We'll try to figure out where that road is in a day. " Xiao Ding turned around and ordered Xue Lan.
"Ah yes. Leave this matter to me! " Nodding with a smile, Xue Lan quickly turned around and blew the whistle from her mouth. A camel that was close enough came running fast. Her beautiful figure leaped beautifully onto her back before Xue Lan left, galloping towards the distant Rock Desert City and leaving a trail of yellow dust along the way.
Seeing Xue Lan slowly disappear from his sight, Xiao Yan let out a soft sigh. He slowly crouched down and extended his hand to the burning hot sand. He muttered softly, "’Fire Heavenly’ ... does it really exist below?"
Being a great power in Rock Desert City, there were naturally many gazes that witnessed every move of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company. Not long after Xue Lan had brought many people out, there were several wandering teams that appeared near where Xiao Yan and the others were and watched the action of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company with faces filled with curiosity.
The area outside of Rock Desert City that had the possibility of ‘He Heavenly Fire’ hiding there was a secret that was already tightly sealed by the people that Xiao Ding had gathered. Thus, the mercenaries and other people who had come to observe everything were mercilessly stopped outside.
Following the progress of the survey, the surrounding community watching also increased. Although Xiao Ding had announced that the Desert Metal Mercenary Company's great maneuver was because he wanted to hunt down a rank three Magical Beast, the surrounding crowd continued to gradually grow larger.
Standing on the sand dune, Xiao Ding and the others watched the human crowd. They could not help but shake their heads helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Looking at the progress made, within half an hour, the Sand Mercenary Company will send someone here."
Xiao Li furrowed his brows.His face vaguely contained a cold and cruel aura. His hands trembled as a long spear of tungsten steel appeared in his palm, which he roughly inserted into the sand dune. In a cold voice, he said, "If they really provoke us too much, that Sand Mercenary Company can forget about living in peace. Other than Luo Bu, all the other people in the Sand Mercenary Company were gentle people. "
Xiao Ding smiled faintly. His lowered eyes also emitted a similar cold glint.
On one side, Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the dunes, also laughed softly. He raised his delicate and handsome face and used his narrowed eyes to stare at the hot sun in the sky. A cold bow appeared and disappeared from the corner of his mouth.
Sweeping a careful look at the three brothers, Qing Lin suddenly realized that these three people were indeed worthy of being true brothers. Regardless of how different their characters were, there was an atrocity in their bones that would leave people cold. People like this are fine if you don't provoke them. Once you do, they will be like a wounded hungry wolf in the desert who will be staring intently at you, waiting as you relax
Back then, just because the humiliation of Nanlan Yanran cancelled the engagement, Xiao Yan could leave a comfortable life in his clan, clench his teeth tightly and fight with the Magical Beast in the mountains, he said, endure loneliness and isolation in the desert and endure hard training for three years. If he could he be so cruel to himself, just think about how he was like his enemies.
As the scorching sun in the sky began to fall, there was a sudden disturbance among the surrounding spectators. A group of about forty mercenaries slowly split through the crowd and walked in a prominent manner.
"That's the Sand Mercenary Company. Looks like there's gonna be a good show "
"Hee hee, the Sand Payment Army Company has finally become impatient." Looking at the company of mercenaries who had walked over, many whispers broke out among the people around who were watching.
"It seems like I'm still overestimating that person's patience" Seeing the company heading there, Xiao Ding shook his head and sneered.
"Let's go and see. Before the situation was over, Luo Bu would not appear. The person leading the company now seemed to be second only to Luo Bu within the Sand Mercenary Company, Mo Xing. Hehe, Someone I once defeated still dares to look for trouble with us. " Xiao Li coldly laughed as he stared from a distance.
"Yes." Yeah." Xiao Ding nodded. He waved his hand. Around him, twenty members of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company gathered. Thick cold weapons were held in their hands as they walked out of the blockade territory and indifferently watched a small group of mercenaries walk over.
The two groups slowly met and the atmosphere between them was a little tense. Being two powerful forces in Rock Desert City, they had quite a lot of conflicts in the past.
"Stop. The Desert Metal Mercenary Company is on a mission here, please do not interfere. " Lifting up her eyes, Xing Ding said in a calm voice as if he was doing official business.
"Hey, Company Leader Xiao Ding. I have never heard the Mercenary Association announce such a mission. Moreover, the tens of kilometers around Rock Desert City was a public place. There's nothing wrong with me bringing people here, right? " A man with a somewhat feminine face came out from within the group of the Sand Mercenary Company. His gaze swept over the people within the blocked territory as he laughed.
"Mo Xing, if it wasn't for Luo Bu interfering, you should have become disabled by now, right?" Xiao Li glanced at this man who seemed to need to be hit as he smiled with ill intentions.
With a slightly twitching face, the man named Mo Xing swept his gaze at Xiao Li with fear and hostility. He took a step back and coldly said, "The person who frankly does not hide anything. Our Company leadership is also interested in this place, so "
"So you can get lost ..." Indifferent words suddenly came out from the smiling Xiao Yan who was watching coldly at the side.
