Chapter 70: Probing
"What's that?" Xiao Li asked with a slightly curious smile.
"Strange Fire ......"
As soon as the word "different fire" came out, the room suddenly became much quieter, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li glanced at each other, and asked suspiciously, "Different fire?" Does that kind of thing exist in the Tagor Desert? ”
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with a faint smile: "There should be, I got a map from a reclusive old gentleman in Mocheng before, and there is the approximate location of the strange fire on it." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's faces froze, and the two looked at each other for a while and asked, "The old gentleman who lives in seclusion?" Third brother, don't be harmed! ”
"Hehe, it's okay, that person is the former Emperor Douhuang of the Gama Empire, known as the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, he has a request for me, he shouldn't lie to me." Xiao Yan chuckled.
"Tsk...... Xiao Yanzi is really amazing, I didn't expect to be familiar with characters like Douhuang. Seeing Xiao Yan nodding in confirmation, Xiao Li suddenly laughed and laughed, with some relief and pride in his laughter.
"With the talent of our little Yanzi, let alone the Dou Huang, even the legendary Dou Zong, and even the Dou Zun realm." Xiao Ding said with a smile.
"The rarity of this thing is really terrifying, although we have been mixing in Stone Desert City for a long time, but we really haven't heard anyone say anything, where is there a trace of strange fire." After the joy, Xiao Ding frowned slightly, and said helplessly.
Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile, took out a simple sheepskin scroll from the ring, carefully spread it on the table, pointed his finger at a flame symbol on it, and said softly.
"In this place marked by flames, there should be a chance to find traces of strange fires, but I am not familiar with the terrain around Stone Desert City, so I still need the help of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group."
Hearing this, Xiao Ding took the map, scanned the map with a cursory glance, and said in surprise: "What a detailed map, this kind of map, this is the first time I've seen it." ”
"Well, it's a bit too detailed." Xiao Li nodded, frowned, carefully observed the map, and said softly, "The place where this flame sign is located seems to be in the eastern part of Stone Desert City, right?" ”
"Well, to be exact, maybe south-east." Xiao Ding nodded slightly, and pondered, "But in the eastern direction of Stone Desert City, there doesn't seem to be anything too strange?" ”
"It's true, no, that place, when I was on a mission, I once led people to search for a few days, and I didn't find anything strange." Xiao Li also shook his head and said helplessly.
Looking at the two of them shaking their heads, Xiao Yan was not disappointed, he knew that the strange fire in the original book originally existed here.
So Xiao Yan said: "The strange thing of heaven and earth like alien fire cannot be understood by common sense, maybe alien fire may not be above the surface, but exists underground. ”
"Let's go there tomorrow and take a look, this strange thing of heaven and earth really can't be figured out with common sense." Xiao Ding finally got up and concluded.
Next.
In the vast desert, yellow sand is raging.
"Third brother, are you sure you're here?" Xiao Li looked at the flat desert in front of him with a stunned face, the terrain here was extremely ordinary, and there were no characteristics that could attract people's attention.
Similar to this kind of flat sandy land, in the vast desert, there are almost countless of them, Xiao Li can hardly imagine that there are traces of strange fire in this inconspicuous place?
Behind Xiao Li, there are dozens of elite members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Regiment, and most of these members have reached the realm of Dou Master.
However, at this time, they all cast their suspicious eyes on Xiao Yan 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 an ordinary place.
And some of them have even done several missions back and forth here, and this place is so familiar to them, familiar as their own home.
So, how could they believe that the alien fire was in their "home"?
Obviously this place is so ordinary.
Being watched by everyone, 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, with a deep groan on his face.
"Since there's nothing special on the ground, maybe here." Xiao Yan squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand in his palm, and then slowly sprinkled it down, chuckling.
"What does the third brother mean...... Is it underground? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Li was slightly stunned, although Xiao Yan had said that it might be underground when he was in Stone Desert City, but Xiao Li still found it hard to believe.
Xiao Ding stretched out his hand to urge the wood-attribute Dou Qi in his body, allowing the Dou Qi to perceive the situation below this desert through the rhizome of the cactus.
After a long time, Xiao Ding stepped on the ground slightly, affirming Xiao Yan's thoughts.
"It stands to reason that it is the earth attribute that should be filled with heaven and earth energy underground, but in a distance under this desert, there is a rich fire attribute of heaven and earth energy hidden, which is very wrong."
"It seems that, just like Xiao Yanzi said, the strange fire is hidden under this desert." Xiao Li clasped his hands and nodded.
"But even if the fire is hidden in the ground, how long will we dig it?" Xue Lan said with some apprehension.
"I don't think it's possible for the fire to be directly buried by the yellow sand, it's not a tool, it is estimated that there is a hole under the yellow sand, let's probe, maybe we can find some passages in and out of the underground." Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly.
Xiao Ding said with a smile: "It just so happens that there are some experts in our regiment who are good at exploring the terrain, as long as they come to inspect it, it should not be difficult to find a passage into the underground." ”
"In that case, then we have to trouble them." Xiao Yan nodded.
"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 passage within one day." Xiao Li turned his head and commanded Xue Lan.
"Well, okay, I'll take care of that!" Xue Lan nodded at Xiao Li, turned around quickly, and whistled from her mouth, and a camel horse galloped from not far away, and successfully jumped on the horse's back with a slight jump.
Xue Lan drove it, took it all the way to the sky, and galloped towards the stone desert city in the distance.
Soon after Xue Lan returned, he brought out all the personnel in the Motie Mercenary Group who were proficient in terrain exploration.
Half an hour later, all the personnel arrived at Xiao Yan's place, and under Xiao Ding's command, more than forty experienced mercenaries began to divide the division of labor.
All of a sudden, the entire desert began to be lively, and Xiao Yan also began to stand on a high place to observe the desert, cheering up and alerting against possible accidents.
You must know that the current time is half a year before the color scales in the original book got the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire, and the different fire existed under this desert.
Therefore, if it causes the restlessness of the strange fire, there may be a big war at that time.
You must know that in the original work, even the color scales whose strength is close to that of Dou Zong were not lightly injured when they subdued the strange fire.
This cannot be ignored by Xiao Yan.
