Chapter 196: Detecting the Terrain
In the vast desert, the yellow sand is raging.
"Qing Scale, are you sure it's here?" Xiao Yan looked at the flat desert in front of him with a stunned face, the terrain here is extremely ordinary, without any characteristics that can attract people's attention, similar to this kind of flat sand, in the vast desert, there are almost countless of them, Xiao Yan can hardly imagine that this inconspicuous place actually has traces of "strange fire"?
Behind Xiao Yan, there were Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, as well as dozens of elite members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Regiment, but at this time, they all cast their suspicious eyes on the green scales who led the way in front, for them who had lived in Stone Desert City for several years or even more than ten years, this place was simply so ordinary that it could not be more ordinary, and some of them even did several missions back and forth here, but they never felt that there was anything different from other places here...
Being watched by everyone, although Qing Yan was a little timid, she still mustered up the courage to stare at Xiao Yan, and said softly: "Young Master, in my induction, the place where the abnormal movement occurred half a year ago is indeed here. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly took two steps forward, standing on a small sand dune, raising his eyes and looking around, his face showing a deep expression.
"There are no special buildings or strange caves here, but the scales don't seem to be telling a lie... Since there is nothing on the ground, there is no one in the sky ... Well, maybe here. Xiao Ding looked around, suddenly squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand with his palm, and then slowly sprinkled it, chuckling and laughing.
"What does big brother mean... Is it underground?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, stunned.
"Well, although there are many strong people who can use the distortion of the air in the desert to create a mirage to confuse people's sight, but the degree of air distortion around the stone desert city is not enough to form such a spectacle, so this possibility can be ruled out... Since there is no mirage to cover it, and we cannot see it with the naked eye. Then the biggest possibility is that it is underground..."Xiao Ding smiled and analyzed the martial arts.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan stepped lightly on the ground, and then smiled bitterly: "But even if the secret is underground, we can't dig it indiscriminately, right?"
"Hehe, naturally it's impossible. If you dig a hole in the desert, you might end up burying yourself alive, but since the Medusa woman can go down, then I guess there must be a hidden passage. Shaking his head with a smile, Xiao Ding said with a smile: "There are just some experts in our group who are proficient in surveying the terrain, as long as they are allowed to test it, it should not be difficult to find a passage into the underground." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since that's the case." Then you'll have to trouble them. ”
"Finding a passage is a trivial matter... However, this place is not far from Stone Desert City. Our locals probe with such fanfare. I think I'm afraid it will be detected by other forces in the interior of Stone Desert City. The nights in the Tagore Desert are short. If you only start work at night. Not only will it consume a lot of time. And maybe it's because of the darkness. And missing some important places... In this rocky desert city. With the strength of our Desert Iron Mercenary Group. Other small forces did not dare to provoke. The Mercenary Regiment of Konasha... I can't say that it will jump out and interfere. Xiao Ding shook his head. frowned helplessly.
"Sand Mercenary Regiment?" Xiao Yan frowned.
"The Sand Mercenary Regiment is the strongest force in Stone Desert City outside of the City Lord's Mansion. Although in terms of overall strength. Our Motie mercenary group is not inferior. But they were in the middle of the group. is a great fighter. You should be aware of the gap between the Great Fighter and the Dou Master. So if there is no big thing on weekdays. We don't usually provoke the Sand Mercenaries. But this time we're going to search with great fanfare. It always makes them curious. In this case. Naturally, it is impossible for them to remain on the sidelines. "Xiao Li. Some reluctantly spoke out and moved the country.
Hear the words. Xiao Yan pursed his lips. He groaned for a long time. looked up at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. Smiled, "It's okay. The eldest brother and the second brother just let people search. However, please be sure not to spread the news of the strange fire. As for the mercenary group of the sands. If they really want to get involved... I'll take care of that. ”
"Huh. The people here are the backbone of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. At the beginning, I followed us little by little to fight the power brothers. Confidentiality issues. Absolutely. Xiao Li smiled and patted his chest. However, he immediately said with some concern: "Can you solve the Sand Mercenary Group Di Shaluo? I would say so. Nature is sure. All you need to do is send someone to find the passage. Xiao Yan smiled mysteriously and said with a martial artist.
Look at Xiao Yan mysteriously. Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also nodded helplessly. However, I believed a little bit in my heart. After all, they know. With Xiao Yandi's temperament. It would never be such a joke in such a situation.
"This little guy is really getting more and more incomprehensible. Muttering in his heart, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li glanced at each other, and they both saw the same feeling from each other's eyes.
"Okay, in that case, Xue Lan, you immediately rush back to the Motie Mercenary Regiment, find those members who are good at detecting the terrain, and strive to find a way out within a day. Xiao Ding turned his head and instructed Xue Lan to move the martial arts.
"Well, okay, leave this matter to me!" smiled and nodded, Xue Lan turned around quickly, whistled out of his mouth, and a camel horse galloped from not far away, jumping on the horse's back with a delicate body, Xue Lan drove it, took all the way to the sky and yellow dust, and galloped towards the stone desert city in the distance.
Looking at Xue Lan, who was gradually disappearing from sight, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, slowly squatted down, inserted his palm into the hot sand, and muttered softly: "Strange fire... Is there really anything down there?"
Soon after Xue Lan went back, he brought out all the personnel who were proficient in terrain detection in the Motie Mercenary Group, and half an hour later, all the personnel arrived at Xiao Yan's place, and in Xiao Dingdi's command, more than forty terrain surveyors began to divide the division of labor to detect the martial arts.
As a major force in Stone Desert City, there were naturally countless eyes watching their every move, so not long after Xue Lan came out with a large number of people, some Youyong stragglers began to appear in Xiao Yan's area, looking at the members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Regiment who were slowly probing the terrain with a confused face.
The area outside the Stone Desert City that may be hiding the Alien Fire Land was previously blocked by Xiao Ding's mobilization of personnel to the death, so those mercenaries and other personnel who came to watch. They were all ruthlessly blocked from the outside and used force.
As the exploration progressed, there were more and more onlookers around, although Xiao Ding said to the outside world that the Motie Mercenary Group moved in a big way because it wanted to hunt a third-order demonic beast, but the surrounding crowd. is still gradually increasing the number of martial arts.
Standing on top of a sand dune, Xiao Ding and the others looked at the crowd outside, and couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "According to this view, I'm afraid that in less than half an hour, the Sand Mercenary Group will send someone over." ”
Xiao Li's brows furrowed, there was a faint hint of a sinister ferocity on his face, and with a shake of his palm, a tungsten steel spear appeared in his palm. Stuck in the sand dunes, he said coldly: "If you are really in a hurry, don't think about it for the mercenary group of the sand." Except for one Sharo, the rest of the mercenary group of Tasha is just a bunch of soft eggs!"
Xiao Ding smiled faintly, and in his lowered eyes, there was also a cold flash.
On the side, Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the sand dune, also smiled softly, raised his delicate face slightly, squinted slightly at the scorching sun in the sky, and provoked a faint cold arc at the corner of his mouth.
A cautious gaze swept over the three Xiao Yan brothers, and Qing Yan suddenly found it. These three people really deserve to be brothers, no matter how different their personalities are, but there is a chilling ruthlessness in their bones, this kind of person, if you don't provoke it, once you provoke it, it will be like a wounded hungry wolf in the desert, staring at you to death, waiting for the moment when you relax
Xiao Yan back then. Can he give up the comfortable life in the family for the humiliation of Nalan Yanran's divorce, grit his teeth, fight with demonic beasts in the mountains and forests, endure loneliness and loneliness in the desert, and cultivate for three years, can he still be so ruthless to himself, let alone an enemy?
As the scorching sun in the sky gradually set in the west, there was a sudden commotion among the onlookers on the periphery. A team of at least forty or so mercenaries. Slowly separated the crowd, and walked towards the isolation area.
"It's someone from the Sand Mercenary Regiment. It's a good show this time..."
"Hehe, Na Sharo finally can't bear it. Seeing the mercenary team that came out, whispers suddenly sounded in the surrounding crowd of onlookers.
"I still overestimate that guy's patience..."Looking at the approaching team, Xiao Ding shook his head, sarcastically moving.
"Let's take a look, in the case of unclear detection, that guy from Sharo won't come forward yet, and now he is leading the team, it seems that he is the second only person in the Sand Mercenary Group, right? After looking at it, Xiao Li sneered and said with a martial artist.
"Hmm. Xiao Ding nodded slightly, and with a wave of his palm, more than 20 members of the Mo Tie Regiment suddenly appeared around, and the cold weapons in their hands were in their hands, and they walked out of the isolation zone, looking at the mercenary team that came over lightly.
The two teams met slowly, and the atmosphere between them was slightly tense, as the two major forces of Stone Desert City, they had also clashed a lot before.
"Stop, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group is on a mission, please don't interfere. Raising his eyes, Xiao Dingdi's voice was like a routine Gujing Wubo martial arts.
"Hey, Captain Xiao Ding, I haven't heard of when the Mercenary Guild issued this kind of mission? And within dozens of miles around this Stone Desert City, it belongs to the public area, it doesn't seem wrong for me to bring people over, right?" In the crowd of the Sand Mercenary Group, a man with a somewhat gloomy face walked out, his eyes swept over the probes in the isolation zone, and he smiled and said with a smile.
"Davis Davist, if it wasn't for Sha Luo's action last time, I'm afraid you would have become a waste person by now, right?" Xiao Li glanced at this extremely underwhelming man, and said with a malicious smile.
His face twitched slightly, the man known as Davis glanced at Xiao Li with some fear and resentment, took a step back, and sneered: "Ming people don't say dark words, and our head of the regiment is also very interested in this place, so..."
"So you can get out...", a flat voice, suddenly came out of the mouth of Xiao Yan, who had been watching coldly from the side, with a smile.
