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

  Xiao Yan asked with a sullen face while standing on the edge of the lava in a certain underground cave.

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

  The three brothers rarely get together, so naturally they have to drink and talk happily.

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

  Hearing the description of the underground cave by the two, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen in the ring became excited.

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

  When he arrived here, Yao Chen had already determined that there must be a strange fire below!

  He sensed the breath of the strange fire!

  Xiao Yan was extremely excited about this. He never expected that the strange fire, which was considered rare in the entire Douqi Continent, could be found so easily.

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

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

  "Xiao Yanzi, calm down, go out first. Look at this stem, it should have been a lotus platform. It is certain that it is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. There are traces of human and snake-shaped monster activities on the ground, but the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire should have been obtained by that human, not by the snake people. We still have a chance."

  "Teacher, how can we be sure?"

  "Haha, it's actually very simple. When you are experienced, you can easily judge it. If it is really the strange fire taken away by Queen Medusa, she will either leave the lotus platform behind or rudely pull away the stem. Few humans understand strange fire, let alone the snake people!"

  "And the stem here is smooth and flat, leaving enough length. It is obviously an expert. It should be an alchemist. This person is quite knowledgeable and knows to leave a glimmer of hope."

  From the simple traces, Yao Lao analyzed it clearly.

  This is professionalism!

  Xiao Yan was silent, allowing Yao Lao to control his body to return along the original route.

  After a long time, he thought of the doubt.

  "Teacher, what was the movement of the snake people a few days ago? The news that my brother and the others heard was that a poison master entered the Tagor 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 important, or it is true, but the mercenaries who encountered the poison master died. Given the strength of these mercenaries, it is not surprising."

  The master and apprentice communicated all the way and returned to the shore for a long time.

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

  Although Yao Lao analyzed with him that there was a possibility that the alchemist who got the strange fire was taken away by Queen Medusa after he went out, but no one could be sure of the truth.

  Therefore, Xiao Yan did not want to miss any clues. He grabbed them with both hands. While asking about Chen Guan, he also had to enter the territory of the snake people to investigate secretly.

  Seeing his heavy face, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also guessed that this matter was very important to this third brother, and immediately recalled it seriously.

  "A very young man, estimated to be no more than 20 years old, dressed in a red and blue dress, with a kind of elegant and noble temperament, and he is also very handsome and outstanding, worthy of the four words handsome and handsome."

  "I don't know his name, but this person is of a very high status. I guess he should be related to the royal family. Even the mayor of Shimo City is cooperating with him to do things, and he is very generous. At that time, we just arrived here, thinking that it is better to have less trouble than more, and we didn't dare to ask about it afterwards, so as not to cause trouble."

  "But if you want to know, Xiao Yanzi, I have a way. Back then, the people in the mayor's mansion were looking for a girl. It happened that we helped them. That person also received a lot of rewards for this. Later, he came to our Motie Mercenary Group to thank us and wanted to give him a reward, but I refused. So he thought of keeping this favor, and now it just happens to come in handy."

  Xiao Ding told the story carefully and told everything he knew truthfully.

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

  The soldier who took Qing Lin away from them was just in a good mood after receiving the reward, and wanted to return the favor by giving them a little benefit.

  However, under Xiao Ding's operation, the relationship became better and better. The soldier's care played a significant role in the Desert Iron Mercenary Group being able to gain a foothold so quickly.

  After all, if the soldiers didn't tell him, no one would know whether he represented himself or the City Lord's Mansion behind him, so he had to take it into consideration.

  "The royal family."

  Xiao Yan sighed.

  The Xiao family had developed well in Wutan City. Now that they had solved the other two major families, they were the only one in power.

  But in front of the royal family, they were still as fragile as paper.

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

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

  At least, if he offended the snake people, he would only be in danger, but if he offended the royal family, the entire Xiao family might be implicated, and there were too many concerns.

  "Teacher, what should we do?"

  "Let's go to the snake people first. If the strange fire is not in the hands of the snake people, we will go to the imperial capital. Although the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire is strong, I have many ways to make them owe favors. At that time, it is not impossible to exchange for the strange fire, and it is not necessary to force it."

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

  That is to say, now. In the past, a mere royal family in the northwest region would not be worthy of his attention.

  "Teacher, I am worried that the strange fire may have already..."

  "Don't worry, the snake people have a cold constitution, Queen Medusa cannot refine it. If she gets the strange fire, she may have other uses. As for the royal family, it is not so easy for them to refine the strange fire. If they do not prepare it thoroughly, it is no doubt to seek death."

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

  "Don't worry, prepare sufficient water sources and snake repellent powder first."

  Following the instructions of Yao Lao, Xiao Yan and Xiao Ding and his party returned to Shimo City.

  It took half a day to prepare everything.

  At the same time, Xiao Ding also relied on his connections to find out the name of the young man at the time.

  Chen Guan!

  Xiao Yan remembered this name, and then, after bidding farewell to his two brothers, he resolutely carried the Xuanzhong ruler deep into the desert.

  A new day, early morning.

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

  "Master Chen Guan, the Xiao Yan you asked us to pay attention to has entered Tagor and is now approaching the Charming Snake Tribe. I have informed Chief Yue Mei as you requested, so that Xiao Yan can have a smooth journey."

  Chen Guan nodded and stood up.

  Since Xiao Yan has arrived, it is time for him to take action.

  "Commander Hua She'er, please wait for Zi Yan to wake up and tell her."

  Hua She'er nodded in response and watched the boy leave.
