The Battle Through Heaven
Hallways
Outside Rock Desert City, a scorching sun shone from above while the members of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company continued their quest in detail.
"Sister, do you realize that there doesn't seem to be a single member of the Sand Mercenary Company around here?" Standing on top of one of the dunes, Xiao Li's gaze swept around him. A while later, he frowned, tilted his head and told Xiao Ding beside him.
"Hehe, not only are they absent here, even in Rock Desert City, the number of members of the Sand Mercenary Company roaming around strangely has reduced a lot. And according to my last news Last night, Mo Xing seemed to have died. But Luo Bu was not angry because of this. Instead, he was so quiet as if he didn't know it. " A hint of ridicule appeared in Xiao Ding's eyes as he smiled and said, "Xiao-Yan-Zi is becoming increasingly difficult to see. He gave such treatment to the Sand Mercenary Company but was able to scare Luo Bu until he did not even dare to fart. Ck ck, what kind of strength is needed to do this? I really don't know how he did it. "
"This really makes someone speechless. Ugh, in the few years we haven't met, this man is becoming more and more mysterious. " Xiao Li nodded and laughed bitterly.
Xiao Ding laughed softly. He tilted his head and his gaze led to the sand dune that was allocated for rest. There, Xiao Yan did not enter the tent to hide from the scorching sun. Instead, he endured the exposure of the hot sun, sat cross-legged on the burning hot sand and slowly absorbed the rich fire energy around him. He let the sweat fall from his forehead like running water, soaking his clothes.
"It used to be that when he was young, his coaching talent might have been outstanding but he ended up lacking toughness and perseverance because of it. I think even though three years he was considered useless might have caused him to receive insulting stares and ridicule, it might have returned the last lost requirement necessary for him to take the step of being a truly powerful person, Xiao-Yan-Zi in the past would never have come to the Tager Desert alone or had the perseverance to endure such harsh training. " Watching Xiao Yan who seemed unwilling to waste a single second, Xiao Ding let out a compliment before sighing emotionally.
"Yes." Yeah." Hearing this, Xiao Li nodded her head feeling the same way. Talent is indeed important to be a truly strong person but if it is not backed by tireless tenacity, the final achievement will only be average. The Dou Qi continent was extremely large. There were naturally many talented people, but few people had finally managed to become strong at the peak.
Thus, the time that Xiao Yan spent as a useless person back then, would have the most prominent effect on Xiao Yan's future path of becoming strong. When the time comes, he may suddenly realize that three years as trash is not a setback, but is the kind of ordeal that will affect the rest of his life.
"Company Leader! The group of three seemed to have found some traces of an alley! "
As Xiao Ding and Xiao Li sighed emotionally, a human figure suddenly ran swiftly from a distance while shouting excitedly.
Found her? Hearing that voice, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li fell silent for a moment. An uncontrollable joy immediately appeared on their faces. After exchanging glances with each other, their gazes turned to another sand dune and saw that Xiao Yan had already opened his eyes. There was shock and shock on his face.
Hearing that voice, Xiao Yan was confused. He then hurriedly left his training mode, slapped the yellow sand from his body and rushed to the human figure still running. He quickly asked, "Have you found your way in?"
"Hee hee, looks like a small trace was found. Based on our experience, it was most likely that it was the road that led to the ground. " The mercenary company opened its mouth and grinned as he said.
"Good!" Patting both of his palms firmly, Xiao Yan anxiously urged, "Go. Hurry up, bring me here to see it! "
"Good." The gazes of the mercenaries swept towards Xiao Ding and Xiao Li who were rushing over, nodding his head with a smile and hurriedly turning around to lead the way.
Following the mercenaries, they ran short north for a few minutes. There was a large crowd there surrounding the slightly depressed sand ground while they whispered amongst themselves.
"Surge! Move aside! " The mercenaries leading the way shouted, forcing open a route. Xiao Yan followed him and was surprised to find that the sunken ground here had a half-meter wide hole dug by the mercenaries in the middle of it. His eyes stared into the hole and found that it was pitch-black. There was also a faint hot air rising from within.
"What is this?" Xiao Yan pointed towards the dark hole, asking everyone around him.
"Ha ha's. Ja. This hole was initially blocked by yellow sand. If Qing Lin does not sense that there is a strange Qi left here, I fear that it will be difficult for us to find it. " One of the mercenaries laughed as he replied.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan stared towards Qing Lin opposite him. He realized that the little girl had yellow sand stuck to her hair. However, her beautiful little face contained happiness.
Feeling that Xiao Yan's gaze had looked over, Qing Lin's eyes met her. His little face was embarrassed as he blinked at Xiao Yan.
"Haha, little girl, how pretty!" Xiao Yan raised his thumb towards Qing Lin. Seeing the brilliant smile appear on the little girl's face, Xiao Yan smiled gently. He slowly came to the pitch-black entrance and flipped his hand. A Moonlight Stone appeared in his hand, which he threw into the hole.
The dim light emitted from Moonlight Rock rolled around in the pitch-black cave several times before gradually and completely disappearing.
Looking at the rapidly disappearing Moonlight Rock, Xiao Yan frowned and said softly, "It looks like this tunnel is not a straight line."
"Hmm ..." Xiao Yan frowned, feeling a little annoyed.
"Why don't I send people to browse the tunnels one by one?" Xiao Ding's laughter suddenly sounded from behind.
Turning around, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li before shaking his head while saying, "There may be an unknown danger below. The Desert Metal Mercenary Company has mobilized so many people to help me find the tunnel. If I still let them in, they might encounter something that injures or kills them. It's going to be a situation I don't want to see. "
"Ke Ke, Brother Xiao Yan, you need not worry. Our Desert Metal Mercenary Company has no one who is afraid of death. " The members of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company laughed out loud.
"Why don't we do it this way. I'll select over ten members who are strong enough and accompany you to take a look. Anyway, I'd be worried if I let you down by myself. In the event of an accident, I fear our angry Father will directly rush over from Wu Tan City and slaughter us. " Xiao Ding pondered for a moment before laughing softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment. He could only nod helplessly. After thinking in silence for a moment, he said grimly, "But if we encounter the sudden situation below, I hope Big Brother can lead everyone and back off first. For my safety, you don't have to worry "
Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged looks and nodded. After Xiao Yan resolved the matter with the Sand Mercenary Company last night, they no longer doubted the strength he was hiding.
"That Young Master in the tunnel below, there was still Qi from half a year ago that was still left. I think I should be able to guide you to find the right tunnel. " As Xiao Yan prepared to make a move, Qing Lin's timid voice suddenly caused his eyebrows to lift in shock.
"Thank you?" Quickly tilting his head, Xiao Yan looked at the cute Qing Lin like a porcelain doll and said happily.
"Yes." Yeah." Seeing the happiness of Xiao Yan, Qing Lin covered his mouth and laughed while nodding.
Useful little girl. Ha ha." Jumping over the hole, Xiao Yan patted Qing Lin's small head. He faced Xiao Ding and Xiao Li and asked with a smile, "Since it's already like that, should we start?"
"Haha, okay." Xiao Ding smiled and nodded. His gaze swept around him before he quickly mentioned a few names. After which, he faced the rest and solemnly ordered, "Once we enter the tunnel, increase the defense around it. You definitely would not allow anyone to come and make trouble. This kind of sand structure is not very stable. If one is not careful, a cave-in may occur and bury the people inside alive "
"Company Leader, rest assured that if anyone dares to enter this territory during this period of time, we will become ruthless regardless of who they are!" Hearing Xiao Ding's orders, the members of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company covered their faces with ferocity as they cried in unison.
"Whatever you are, Second Brother. You need to steer the situation here once we get down. If we don't ask someone to take control of the situation above, I will feel a little unsure. " After issuing his order, Xiao Ding still felt a little insecure, so he once again tilted his head to Xiao Li and spoke.
Hearing this, Xiao Li, who originally intended to follow, could only nod her head helplessly.
As soon as he arranged everything appropriately, Xiao Ding took out a large bundle of rope from one side. He tested its toughness and tied it to a properly repaired wooden pole. At the same time, he threw the rope into the hole.
"The tunnel is not too steep. This rope is meant as insurance. If the people below shouted, the people above could use the rope to immediately pull us in. " Xiao Ding said as he patted her hand.
Seeing that Xiao Ding had thought about this carefully, Xiao Yan smiled bitterly. He took the lead to arrive at the tunnel entrance, tilted his head and waved to Qing Lin by his side.
Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, Qing Lin hurriedly ran over. A pair of strange dark green eyes stared at Xiao Yan smartly.
Xiao Yan swept his gaze roughly into those dark green eyes and sighed emotionally in his heart. He then stretched out his hand and pulled Qing Lin to his chest under his stunned face. Smiling, he said, "Later, you'll show me the way."
Hugged by Xiao Yan, Qing Lin's face gradually turned red. She lowered her little face and gently nodded her head.
Everyone, let's move! With a gentle laugh, Xiao Yan nodded towards Xiao Ding, grabbed the rope and jumped into the pitch-black hole.
"’Fire Heavenly’ does it really exist below? I hope it won't disappoint me "Xiao Yan muttered softly as his body swiftly slid over the tunnel while hugging Qing Lin tightly into his chest.
