Chapter 121 Running in Both Directions

"Brother, do you know who that person is and what he looks like?"

In a certain underground cave, Xiao Yan stood on the edge of the magma and asked with a stern face.

He was very lucky. When he arrived at the Tagor Desert, the blockade of the snake people had just been lifted. Immediately, he came all the way to Stone Desert City and met his two brothers who had been separated for a long time.

It's rare for the three brothers to get together, so drinking and talking is inevitable.

It was at this time that Xiao Ding and Xiao Li mentioned that the City Lord's Mansion summoned a large number of mercenaries to look for 'treasures' in the desert. They were among them at that time. Although they didn't know what the City Lord's Mansion was looking for, it must be something good. .

After hearing the description of the underground cave by the two, Xiao Yan and Zhongzhong Yaochen became excited.

Under the leadership of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, Xiao Yan came to the underground cave very easily.

At this point, the medicine dust has been determined, and there must be a strange fire below!

He sensed the breath of strange fire!

Xiao Yan was extremely excited about this. He never expected that one of the rare strange fires in the entire Dou Qi Continent could be found so easily.

However, when Yao Chen took control of his body and entered the magma, the master and the disciple were stunned.

The aura of strange fire did exist, but the roots and extremely smooth cuts left on the mountain wall told them that someone had climbed there first.

"Xiao Yanzi, calm down, go out first. Look at this stem. It should be a lotus platform. It can be determined that it is the Qinglian Earth Core Fire. There are traces of human and snake-shaped monsters on the ground, but the Qinglian Earth Core Fire should be It was obtained by that human being instead of falling into the hands of the snake people. We still have a chance."

"Teacher, how can we be sure of this?"

"Haha, it's actually very simple. You will be able to judge easily when you have more experience in the future. If it was really the strange fire that Queen Medusa took away, she would either leave the lotus platform behind, or she would violently tear away the roots and stems. Human beings would Very few people understand strange fire, let alone the snake people!"

"The rhizome here is smooth and flat, leaving enough length. It is obviously a knowledgeable person. He should be an alchemist. This person seems to know the rules and knows how to leave a chance of survival."

From the simple traces, Yao Lao analyzed it clearly.

This is professionalism!

Xiao Yan remained silent and allowed Yao Lao to control his body to return the way he came.

After a long time, the suspicion came to mind.

"Teacher, what was the movement of the snake people in the past few days? The news that brother and the others heard was that the poison master entered the Tagore Desert and angered the snake people, but none of the mercenaries who came out had seen the poison master. "

"This is not simple. There are only two possibilities. Either the snake people are lying to cover up something big, or it is true, but all the mercenaries who met the poison master died. The strength of these mercenaries is not enough. Strange."

The master and apprentice communicated all the way, and it took a long time before they returned to the shore.

Immediately, Xiao Yan began to call Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

Although Yao Lao analyzed with him that it was possible that the alchemist who obtained the strange fire was attacked by Queen Medusa and took the strange fire away after he went out, but no one was sure of the truth.

Therefore, Xiao Yan did not want to let go of any clues, so he grabbed both hands. While asking about Chen Guan, he also wanted to enter the territory of the snake people to investigate secretly.

Seeing his heavy expression, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also guessed that this matter was very important to this third brother, and immediately thought about it carefully.

"A very young man, estimated to be no more than twenty years old. He is dressed in blue and blue. He has an elegant and noble temperament. He is also very handsome and outstanding. He deserves the word "fengshen handsome".

"I don't know his name, but this person has a very high status. I guess he should be related to the royal family. Even the Lord of Shimo City is cooperating with him and is very generous. We just arrived here and we had one more thing on our mind. It's better to keep it quiet and don't dare to inquire afterward, so as not to get into trouble."

"But if you want to know, Xiao Yanzi, I also have a way. Back then, people from the City Lord's Mansion were looking for a girl, and it just so happened that it was us who helped. That person even got a lot of rewards for it. Afterwards, we Motie mercenaries came to see her. I wanted to express my gratitude to the group and wanted to give him a reward, but I refused, so I just wanted to keep this favor, and now it just happens to come in handy."

Xiao Ding spoke carefully, telling the truth everything he knew.

He is a smart man and knows what to do when.

The soldier who took Qinglin away from them was just in a good mood after being rewarded, and then reciprocated the favor, just wanting to give them a little benefit.

But under Xiao Ding's operation, the relationship got better and better. The soldier's care played a big role in the Motie Mercenary Group being able to gain a foothold so quickly.

After all, no one knows whether the soldier is talking about himself or the city lord's palace behind him, so he has to take some care.

"A member of the royal family."

Xiao Yan sighed lightly.

The Xiao family has developed well in Wutan City. Now it has solved the other two major families and is the only one.

But in front of the royal family, he was still as brittle as paper.

The mysterious alchemist comes from the royal family, which is definitely not good news for him.

In contrast, at this time, he was more willing to accept the possibility that the strange fire was taken away by Queen Medusa.

At the very least, if he offends the snake people, he is only in danger, but if he offends the royal family, the entire Xiao family may be implicated, so there are too many concerns.

"Teacher, what should we do?"

"Let's go to the Snake Tribe first. If the strange fire is not in the hands of the Snake Tribe, we will go to the imperial capital. Although the strength of the Jiama Empire's royal family is good, I have many ways to make them owe favors. When the time comes, we can exchange for the strange fire. It’s not impossible, it doesn’t have to be forced.”

Knowing Xiao Yan's concerns, Yao Lao responded in his heart.

Even now, in the past, even a mere royal family in the northwest region was not enough to be taken seriously by him.

"Teacher, I'm worried that the strange fire may have already occurred."

"Don't worry, the snake people have a cold physique and Queen Medusa can't refine it. If she gets the strange fire, it may be used for other purposes. As for the royal family, it's not that easy for them to refine the strange fire. They don't plan to refine it thoroughly. , is undoubtedly seeking death."

"I understand, teacher, then I will go deep into the desert."

"Don't worry, prepare enough water first, as well as snake repellent powder and the like."

Following Yao Lao's instructions, Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding and the others returned to Shimo City.

It took half a day to prepare everything.

At the same time, Xiao Ding also used his connections to find out the name of the young man from back then.

Chen Guan!

Xiao Yan remembered this name, then said goodbye to his two brothers, and carried the Xuan Zhong Ruler deep into the desert without hesitation.

A new day, early morning.

Just after withdrawing from practice, Hua Sheer brought good news to Chen Guan.

"Master Chen Guan, the Xiao Yan you asked us to pay attention to has already entered Tagore and is now approaching the Charming Snake Tribe. I have informed Leader Yue Mei as you wish so that Xiao Yan can have an unobstructed journey."

Chen Guan nodded and stood up.

Now that Xiao Yan has arrived, it's time for him to take action.

"Commander Hua She'er, when Zi Yan wakes up, please tell her."

Hua Sheer nodded in agreement and watched the young man leave.
