It was already morning, and there was no one in the courtyard except Xiao Yan and Qing Lin.

Xiao Yan was somewhat stunned as he stared at the petite figure who was running around hurriedly with a basin of water in her hand because she saw that he had finished washing up.

Looking at the figure of the woman, Xiao Yan's eyes couldn't help but fall on her slender waist. For some reason, he always felt that the girl's slender waist looked familiar when she moved.

Like a snake.

"This little girl is not ordinary. She has alien blood in her body. And have you noticed what her eyes look like?"

After Han Li finished speaking, Xiao Yan began to recall, but the strange thing was that no matter how hard he tried, he could not remember what Qing Lin's eyes looked like.

Apparently because he was running back and forth too quickly, Qinglin's feet slipped and he was about to fall to the ground.

Xiao Yan lightly stepped on the ground, and like a ghost, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters in an instant and supported Qing Lin before she fell.

"It's okay. Are you okay?" Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised when he saw that there were some scales growing on the little girl's snow-white arm that was exposed from her sleeve.

Because of Han Li's reminder, Xiao Yan did not show any surprise, but turned his eyes away without leaving a trace.

The Tagor Desert is the territory of the snake people. Occasionally, human women are abducted by the snake people. According to common sense, the combination of the two will not result in pregnancy, but there are always exceptions.

The green scales in front of me seem to be such a product.

But what's strange is that children born from the union of snake people and humans usually don't live past the age of two, but Qinglin seems to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Wu, Master Xiao Yan?"

Qinglin, who originally thought she was going to fall badly, closed her eyes in fear, but she felt no pain. Instead, a force grabbed her.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a gentle face. Although he looked a little dazed, he quickly put down his hand and touched her head.

"Be careful next time, don't fall down."

"Yes." Qing Lin picked up the water basin on the ground and left. Xiao Yan was the only one left in the courtyard. Only then did a horrified expression appear on his face.

"That child's eyes are so weird!"

Recalling the scene just now, Xiao Yan was a little frightened. Qing Lin's petite and cute face actually had such a pair of magical eyes.

The pupils are watery and have a light green color. Deep in the pupils, there are three extremely tiny green dots hidden.

After Xiao Yan saw those strange green pupils, he became a little dazed and lost his mind!

With his current level of cultivation as a Great Fighter, how could the soul of a peak second-grade alchemist be affected by such a pair of pupils?

This is incredible.

"Teacher, do you know what that is?"

Han Li replied slowly:

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils.

Chapter 85 The Location of the Strange Fire

"Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil, what is that?" Xiao Yan asked puzzledly.

"Well, generally speaking, it's a strange kind of pupil with a very small chance of appearing. If a person with this kind of pupil masters it well, he can make people hallucinate during battle." Han Li gave a rough explanation. The information about the Green Snake's Three Flower Pupil was recorded in the notes left by Yao Chen.

"Also, this type of pupil naturally has a strong restraint on snake-like creatures, and can even unilaterally force the signing of a contract." Having said this, Han Li in the ring secretly shook his head, thinking to himself that my fourth disciple has really good luck. Wherever they go, they will meet such talented people.

“This Green Snake’s Three-Flower Pupil is really quite strange.” Xiao Yan picked up the Black Flame Sword and muttered to himself while doing morning exercises.

"But teacher, Qinglin has a good talent. Can we train him a little bit?" Xiao Yan asked, feeling a little in love with his talent.

Han Li pondered for a few seconds and then nodded.

"Ok!"

Several days passed in a flash, and during these days, Xiao Yan's life became quite simple.

First, he got up early every day and washed up with the help of Qinglin, and then did some routine basic training. In the afternoon, he wandered around the interior and periphery of Shimo City, familiarizing himself with the surrounding environment while detecting the terrain that matched the flame mark on the map given by Hai Bodong.

Although it has not been found yet, several locations have been ruled out, which is good news.

During this period, Xiao Yan met with Hai Bodong, who said that he was very patient and had some free time these days, so he could call him anytime if he had any problems.

Today was the Motie Mercenary Group's once-in-three-month internal test. Xiao Yan couldn't resist the strong requests of his elder and second brothers, so he also went out to fight a few times.

Of course, he only showed his superficial strength. After defeating a seven-star fighter and an eight-star fighter with "quite difficulty", Xiao Yan jumped off the stage using the excuse of being exhausted.

No one around doubted that Xiao Yan's "defeat" was just a very normal thing. While everyone's attention was on the arena, Xiao Yan took the opportunity to slip back to the courtyard.

"Master Xiao Yan, you're back so soon?" Qing Lin asked, seeming a little surprised at Xiao Yan's quick defeat.

"Yes, the members of the mercenary group are all very strong." Xiao Yan said casually, "It's so lively over there, Qinglin, don't you want to go and take a look?"

Hearing this, Qinglin smiled and lowered his head somewhat dejectedly.

"They didn't welcome me very much, although the two leaders took good care of me, but..."

As he spoke, Qinglin involuntarily pulled down his sleeves, fearing that something would be exposed.

It seems that she is still very sensitive about her mixed-race identity, and Xiao Yan can also understand the attitude of the mercenaries towards Qing Lin.

After all, which person who has been wandering around the Tagore Desert for a long time has not been persecuted by the snake people?

With a slight sigh, Xiao Yan changed the subject:

"Qinglin, do you want to practice?"

Although she was somewhat resistant at first, after spending so many days together, Xiao Yan had obviously gained Qing Lin's trust, and she agreed.

Xiao Yan then gave Qing Lin some instructions on what to pay attention to when practicing.

In the evening, after some wine and meat, the three brothers sat at the dining table.

After Qing Lin brought three cups of tea, she stood obediently not far behind Xiao Yan. Naturally, he had decided to train her, so during the time in Shimo City, Xiao Yan decided to keep her by his side.

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and decided to ask his two brothers for help.

In the past few days, he has checked the terrain of the surrounding environment, but has not found a location that matches the flame symbol.

If he expands the area further, the time it would take to search alone would increase exponentially. Besides, he can trust his elder and second brothers and believes they will not leak the news.

"I have something I would like to ask my elder brother and second brother for help."

Xiao Li waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Anything? No problem, just tell us. Even if it's beyond our capabilities, we will do our best to help you."

Although Xiao Ding on the side did not say anything, he nodded in agreement after Xiao Li spoke.

Xiao Yan smiled, pondered for a moment, and said softly:

"I came to the Tagor Desert this time to look for something, which can be understood as a treasure."

Tapping the table with his fingers, neither Xiao Ding nor Xiao Li asked what the treasure was. Although Xiao Ding was a little curious, since Xiao Yan didn't tell him, he didn't ask.

"So?" Xiao Ding smiled and said, "Your second brother and I have been in Shimo City for so many years, and we have never heard of any rumors of treasures around here."

Shaking his head and making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Xiao Yan took out an ancient sheepskin scroll from his ring, spread it out, and carefully placed it on the table. He pointed his finger at the flame symbol in the east and said, "This is a map I got at an auction. The flame symbol on it has a chance of finding treasure, but the terrain around Shimo City is too complicated. It will take me a long time to search by myself."

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you have been here for so long, do you know if there are any strange places around this Stone Desert City?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ding pulled the map over, glanced at it roughly, and said in surprise: "What a detailed map!"

Xiao Li also came over and nodded: "This is the first time I've seen such a detailed map. Hey. This piece of land marked by the flame seems to be in the east of Shimo City."

"Eastern to the south," Xiao Ding corrected Xiao Li's mistake, and then said, "But there doesn't seem to be anything too strange in the southeast of Shimo City."

"Indeed, when I was on a mission before, I led people to search there for several days, but I didn't find anything strange."

Xiao Li also shook his head and said.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes, and he sighed secretly. It seemed that there should be no trace of strange fire here.

Just when Xiao Yan was feeling disappointed, he felt his sleeve being pulled. He turned around and saw the timid Qing Lin.

A soft and sticky voice sounded:

"Master Xiao Yan, um, there is indeed something strange in the eastern part of Shimo City."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then he turned around abruptly and looked at Qing Lin with burning eyes: "Do you know where it is?"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also looked at Qing Lin in surprise, obviously they were also unaware of the situation.

"Well, I don't know either, but I did sense a strong presence there some time ago."

"This little girl should have sensed the blood relationship of her fellow clan members." Han Li's voice faintly floated in Xiao Yan's ears.

Thinking of the snake-man blood in Qinglin's body, Xiao Yan nodded slowly, and then said in a gentle voice: "Qinglin, can you determine the specific location where that breath stays?"

Chapter 86 Sand Mercenary Group

The blood relationship between the same clan is very strong.

This made Xiao Yan have a bad guess in his mind, but it also verified something.

The strongest fighting force in Shimo City was just a few great fighting masters, without even a fighting spirit, and those strong men were just wandering around nearby.

What that means is self-evident.

"Yes, although it takes a while, Qinglin can still sense it." Qinglin said, lowering his head gloomily.

"Well, it all depends on you this time." Xiao Yan held Qing Lin's hand.

That night, while everyone was asleep, Xiao Yan found Hai Bodong and told him what he had discovered, and bluntly said that he had discovered a strong man from the Snake People.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Yan asked Hai Bodong to quietly follow the departure team tomorrow. Although Hai Bodong was very wary of Queen Medusa, he was afraid that the strong snakemen would attract the other side.

But it was an agreement after all, so Hai Bodong gritted his teeth and agreed to follow.

The next day, the vast desert was filled with yellow sand, and there was nothing strange to be seen at first glance.

Xiao Yan looked at the flat desert in front of him with astonishment. The terrain here was extremely frequent and did not attract anyone's attention. In the vast desert, there were simply countless of them.

It was hard for Xiao Yan to imagine that such an inconspicuous place could actually hide traces of the strange fire.

Behind Xiao Yan were Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, as well as dozens of elite mercenaries from the Motie Mercenary Group. However, at this time, they all cast their suspicious eyes towards Qing Lin. For them who had lived in Shimo City for many years, this place was simply insignificant. Many people had even done missions here, but they had never felt that anything was wrong.

Qing Lin timidly hid beside Xiao Yan, tugged at his sleeve, and said weakly: "Master Xiao Yan, the aura I sensed is here."

Xiao Yan said nothing. He squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of sand, and then let the yellow sand flow out from between his fingers, observing carefully.
