In the desert, many powerful people can use the originally distorted environment to create illusions similar to mirages to cover up some things.
But after Han Li's careful exploration, there was no so-called mirage here, and Qing Lin swore that after ruling out the possibility of her sensing error, the thing must naturally be underground.
"Xiao Yan, three hundred steps to your left, several dozen feet under the yellow sand, there is a secret tunnel."
Han Li's voice came at the right time, pointing the direction for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he patted the sand off his hands inconspicuously. He said to Xiao Ding, "Brother, I wonder if there is a good scout in the group. I suspect that thing is underground."
"Underground." After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiao Ding said, "If Qinglin's perception is correct, then it is indeed very likely."
"Of course there are experts in detecting terrain. It won't be difficult for them to find traces after some testing. But we are now facing a problem."
"Oh?" Xiao Yan expressed his doubts. Xiao Ding did not speak, but Xiao Li frowned and said:
"It's a small matter to detect underground, but this place is only 20 miles away from Shimo City. If our people conduct a large-scale detection, they will soon be discovered by other forces in Shimo City."
"If we only work at night, the time and danger will increase exponentially."
Xiao Yan understood the difficulties of his two brothers and nodded, thinking, "I see. It seems that the life of the eldest brother and the second brother in Shimo City is not as easy as it seems."
A fierce aura surged on Xiao Li's face, and he stabbed his tungsten spear into the sand fiercely, and said viciously:
"If it weren't for Sara who has been against us, this wouldn't have happened."
"Sha Luo?" Xiao Yan recalled the name and the related information emerged in his mind.
Sha Luo is the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, and the strength of the Sand Mercenary Group is also the strongest among the many mercenary groups in Shimo City, only because their leader is a rare great fighter.
"It's okay, big brother and second brother, let's explore first. As for the Sand Mercenary Group, I still have some ways." Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Looking at Xiao Yan helplessly, Xiao Ding said, "Since Xiao Yanzi has said so, let's get started."
Xiao Li smashed the tungsten steel spear in his hand to the ground and snorted coldly: "That Sha Luo dared to cause trouble for us, and our Motie Mercenary Group is not easy to mess with."
"If they really provoke him, the Sand Mercenary Group won't have an easy time either. Except for Sharo, the others are just wimps."
When Xiao Ding heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the sand dune and shook his head secretly. It seemed that there were still some things that needed to be dealt with before leaving Shimo City.
Xiao Yan didn't think he was a good person, but if the other party provoked his family, he would make the other party pay a heavy price.
The large-scale actions of the Motie Mercenary Group could not be concealed from others after all. After all, the Motie Mercenary Group was a considerable force in Shimo City.
Just one hour after the detection began, a team of at least forty mercenaries, with slow but unconcealed steps, led the crowd towards the Motie Mercenary Group.
"They are from the Sand Mercenaries."
Someone spoke in a lowered voice.
The movements of the Motie Mercenary Group also attracted many onlookers. Although the Motie Mercenary Group blocked the surrounding area, this was not their territory after all, so it was difficult to stop the onlookers.
The two major mercenary groups had conflicts in public more than once, and when they saw them meeting on a large scale now, the people around them immediately began to whisper.
"The Sand Mercenary Group is led by Mo Xing, and both leaders of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group are here. It seems that the former will suffer."
"Not necessarily. There are more people on Moxing."
Xiao Yan's soul power was also quietly opened, and he observed the crowd around him without making a sound. After confirming that there were no strong people hiding, he nodded.
"Hey, Captain Xiao, I've never heard of the Mercenary Union issuing missions around this. I wonder what your mercenary group is doing?"
"Get out!" Xiao Li didn't give Mo Xing any face at all and spoke in a very domineering tone.
"This is a public area. Am I getting in the way if I stand here? Captain Xiao Li, are you guys doing something shady?"
"If Sha Luo hadn't stopped you last time, you would have become a useless person. Or, Mo Xing, do you have the confidence to challenge me now?" Xiao Li said with a wry smile.
His eyelids twitched, and Mo Xing swept his hateful gaze over Xiao Li without disguising it, sneering: "Let's not beat around the bush, our leader is also very interested in this place."
"roll!"
Facing Xiao Ding and Xiao Li at the same time, even though Mo Xing was the second-in-command of the Sand Mercenary Group, he was unable to cope and had to run away in disgrace.
Xiao Yan, sitting on the sand dune, remained expressionless, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and spoke in a voice that only he could hear.
"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since the last opening."
Chapter 87: Night of the Sand Mercenaries
Mo Xing led his people away in a panic like a stray dog, and the people who were waiting to watch the show could not help but boo in unison.
"Coward!" Xiao Li curled his lips in disdain at the escape of Mo Xing and the others. He turned around, spread his hands, and said to Xiao Yan: "Now that Mo Xing is driven away in front of so many people, this feud has been established. When Mo Xing makes an exaggerated announcement, I'm afraid Sha Luo will gather people to forcibly seize this piece of land tomorrow."
Xiao Ding also nodded and said helplessly: "Xiao Yanzi, your second brother is right. Although our Desert Iron Mercenary Group is not afraid of the Sand Mercenary Group, in terms of strength, Sha Luo alone is enough to suppress me and your second brother."
Xiao Yan put away his killing intent, glanced around, and with a smile on his face, he shook his head and said softly:
"Big Brother, you just need to guard this piece of land. If Sha Luo really comes, it won't be too late for us to retreat."
Seeing that Xiao Yan's eyes were calm and without the slightest resentment, Xiao Ding also sighed slightly.
It’s probably because they are not strong enough, otherwise such a dilemma would not have occurred.
Xiao Li's face turned gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "If Sha Luo really dares to come, even if I die, I will bite off a piece of his flesh."
"Xiao Yanzi, don't worry."
Xiao Yan shook his head. He knew that as long as he nodded, his elder and second brothers would definitely not withdraw. Even if there was a big gap in strength, they would still fight with the other side.
He was moved, but there was no need.
Not to mention that Sha Luo is just a great Dou Shi, even if he is a Dou Ling, Xiao Yan is more than enough to fight!
At the moment, hiding their strength has already brought them difficulties. Since they have chosen to hide their strength from the beginning, Xiao Yan will not expose it rashly.
He decided to resolve the matter without leaving any trace.
Because of the disruption caused by the Sand Mercenaries, everyone's morale was not very high and the first day of exploration was not fruitful.
The desert moon, hanging high in the sky, is like a huge silver disk that is conspicuous at a glance. A ray of moonlight shines from it, falls on the earth, and shrouds the Stone Desert City in the darkness.
A black-robed figure quietly slipped out from the mercenary camp stationed outside the city and headed towards Shimo City without a trace.
Like a ghost, it passed through the sand without leaving any trace.
He pulled the black robe, and a young face was revealed. This person was Xiao Yan!
With the experience of wandering around Shimo City in the past few days, he easily flew into the city from an unguarded section of the city wall.
"If I remember correctly, the Sand Mercenary Group should be over there."
Xiao Yan muttered in a low voice, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then after a brief change, his originally handsome and fair face turned into the face of a bearded man.
In the western part of Shimo City, the huge courtyard was brightly lit, and the sounds of laughter and playfulness could be heard constantly from it. In the middle of the courtyard, a gold-plated flag was hung on a wooden pole, with five large characters "Sand Mercenary Group" written on it.
The two mercenaries on duty at the gate had no idea that a ghostly black-robed figure had walked into the mercenary group's base right in front of them.
A breeze flew by, silently distorting the direction of the flag in the compound.
In a room in the center of the compound, a dim light completely dispelled the darkness in the room. Two people were sitting in the room, one of whom was Mo Xing, who had a conflict with Xiao Yan and the others in the afternoon.
However, his expression now was completely different from when he was in front of the Xiao brothers. He seemed quite cold and fierce.
"Captain, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group is becoming more and more arrogant. You should know that our Sand Mercenary Group is the old-established force in Stone Desert City."
"These two young brothers of the Xiao family have only been here for a few years, yet they dare to ignore us like this. If we allow them to continue to develop, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
The middle-aged man at the head was naturally the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, Sha Luo. He raised his eyes, glanced at Mo Xing who was sitting below, picked up a cup of tea, blew on it, and said lightly:
"Did you find out what they were doing there?"
Hearing this, Mo Xing responded somewhat awkwardly:
"No, the people I brought with me were chased out by the Xiao brothers before they even got close."
Sara frowned. It was obvious that he was somewhat dissatisfied with Mo Xing's ability to do things. Mo Xing naturally knew this and immediately found an excuse.
"Captain, although we don't know what they are looking for, it's impossible for them to be looking for something ordinary since they are doing it so ostentatiously. Moreover, they are not far from Shimo City. We have plenty of reasons to intervene."
Sharo nodded, but there was hesitation on his face. Before he knew the specific thing, he actually didn't want to take risks.
Although he is a great fighter, there is only one fighter, Mo Xing, in the entire Sand Mercenary Group, and the rest are all below the fighter. On the other hand, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, including the Xiao brothers, has four fighters. They are not as high-end, but their overall strength is slightly stronger.
This also made him a little hesitant, but when he thought about the actions of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group over the years, after a long silence, Sha Luo finally nodded, with a fierce look on his face: "Gather the manpower tomorrow and take over the territory of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group."
Seeing that Sha Luo agreed, a smile appeared on Mo Xing's face, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
He remembered for a long time that he was almost killed by Xiao Li.
"Alas, the choice you two made makes me very disappointed."
Just when this matter was finalized, a faint voice sounded in the room without warning, making people feel frightened.
"Who?!" The two men's faces changed drastically. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the window had been opened at some point. A figure in a black robe was leaning against the window, looking leisurely and contented. It was unknown how long he had been there.
The figure was quite mysterious, and seemed relaxed and at ease, but to Sara and Moxing, he looked like the god of death.
They had no idea when the other party came here, but even a fool would know that this person was quite extraordinary.
"Who are you? Please tell me your name. If my Sand Mercenary Group has offended you in any way, Sha Luo will come to apologize to you someday."
Sara chose to give in directly because he couldn't see through the opponent's strength.
Seeing that Sha Luo had surrendered, Mo Xing naturally wanted to beg for mercy, but before he could say anything, he saw a pair of small wings with silver and blue patterns spread out from behind the figure, and the figure rushed into the room in the blink of an eye like a ghost, then grabbed Mo Xing's neck with one hand, and pinched it hard in the other's horrified eyes.
"Kacha!"
Without giving Mo Xing a chance to speak, the second-in-command of the Sand Mercenary Group went to hell with confusion and resentment.
And Sara beside him had his pupils trembled, and said in a lost voice:
"Battle Qi transformed into wings? A powerful Dou Wang?!"
Chapter 88 Underground Passage
"The answer is correct, but there is no reward." Xiao Yan casually dropped Mo Xing, who had turned into a corpse.
Sha Luo trembled, not daring to move at all. He knew that any action he took would be in vain in front of a Dou Wang strongman. Now he could only hope that the other party had no intention of killing him, and perhaps he could still salvage something.
Xiao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Sha Luo was really frightened and there was no sign of resistance at all.
He spread his wind and thunder wings and killed Moxing at lightning speed, but in fact he was setting a trap for Sha Luo.
