Chapter 362 Search

Amon found another map and marked the area east of Shimo City that Hai Bodong had discovered where there might be strange fire.

Of course, he did not use the flame mark, but drew a circle casually.

After receiving the instructions, Sha Luo made every effort to personally lead people to block that generation and search everywhere with great fanfare.

Their behavior aroused the curiosity of other mercenary groups, and many people were dissatisfied with them.

After all, the Sand Mercenary Group domineeringly included the roads that came and went into the blockade. If others wanted to pass from this direction, they had to go around a big circle.

Because it had interfered with the normal passage of the trade route, the City Lord's Mansion had to intervene.

A man wearing animal skin soft armor, who looked over fifty years old and had slightly gray temples, came to Sha Luo's tent as a temporary residence in the blockade.

His name was Mu Lei, the city lord of Shimo City, a nine-star peak great fighter.

"Captain Sha, what do you mean? You blocked such a large area, making it impossible to pass normally in the east of Shimo City. I have received many complaints from caravans."

Mu Lei did not want to offend the Sand Mercenary Group, the largest mercenary group in Shimo City, so his words and attitude were quite kind.

"I won't care too much if you block the road for the mission, but at least make the normal road available, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to them."

Mu Lei thought that Sha Luo would give him this face, but he never thought that the other party would refuse very directly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Mu, this mission is very important. If something goes wrong, I can't take the responsibility... So if you want us to remove the blockade, don't mention it." Sha Luo responded in a calm but firm tone.

"Do you really want to do this?" Mu Lei's tone turned slightly colder.

Sha Luo said in a low voice: "The person who issued this task is a big shot that neither you nor I can afford to offend. If you are willing to bear the consequences of the mission failure, then go and tell him yourself."

Because there is a snake tribe not far from Shimo City, Mu Lei has always been kind to others and united all possible forces in order to deal with the war that may come at any time. He has a good relationship with all the forces in Shimo City. Seeing Sha Luo so serious, his face changed.

"Can you tell me which big shot it is?" Mu Lei asked softly.

Sha Luo shook his head, "He didn't even tell me what he was looking for. Do you think I dare to say anything casually? I can only tell you that this time, my reward is that he can refine a fourth-grade pill for me."

Refine a fourth-grade pill... Mu Lei couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, which means that the client is at least a fourth-grade alchemist. In the Jia Ma Empire, except for the Dan King Gu He and the president of the Alchemist Union, the fourth grade is already the top.

A fourth-grade alchemist can rank among the top in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Mu Lei immediately stopped talking about lifting the blockade, as he didn't want to provoke an alchemist.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Can you introduce me to that alchemist? If there are not enough people, I can also send the city guards to help find it."

Sha Luo pondered for a moment, but did not directly refuse, and seemed a little hesitant.

The map given by Amon covered a large area, and this area was all flat sand, with nothing special to see.

Although he also mentioned that there were additional clues such as traces of the life of the fire spirit snake, they also did not find this, and the current search progress was zero.

Sha Luo was worried that if he did not find the so-called "place with abnormally rich fire attribute energy" in the end, he would also anger Gu He and be used as a target for him to vent his anger.

It seems good to have someone to help share the burden... As long as it's not the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, otherwise we have to worry that they will get the benefits and suppress the Sand Mercenary Group...

... With this thought, he nodded slowly and said hesitantly: "I will mention this to that adult. As for whether it will succeed or not, that's not my confirmation."

"Let him come." Amon's voice sounded from the back.

Sha Luo smiled at Mu Lei: "Good luck, seize the opportunity."

Mu Lei came to the tent in the back with a little trepidation, and was shocked when he saw the middle-aged man in the alchemist's robe.

He had the honor of seeing this figure at a certain alchemist conference... "Dan King" Gu He, how could such a person appear here? Is there anything in this small Stone Desert City that even Gu He is excited about?

With such doubts, Mu Lei bowed to Amon who was wearing Gu He's appearance.

"It just so happens that relying on Sha Luo and his men alone is still too inefficient. If you can mobilize the city guards to help, it would be great. I will give you the same reward as Sha Luo, and help you refine a pill that does not exceed the fourth level, or a mid-level Xuan-level fighting skill." Amon said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir." Mu Lei seemed very excited. He has been stuck at the peak of the Great Fighting Master for a long time. If he can get a pill to help him break through, then there is a great chance that he will step into the realm of fighting spirit.

...

In an oasis in the desert, rows of dome-shaped houses without windows and half-embedded in the ground are scattered.

Snake people like shade, so this kind of semi-embedded house is very popular among ordinary residents among the snake people.

In the center, near the water source, there is a much larger dome building that is built entirely on the surface. This is the residence of the leader of this snake tribe.

"You said that the humans in Shimo City have abnormal behavior?" A slightly old female snakeman with a white wooden hairpin on her head was lying on a spacious stone chair, her tone was flat.

"Yes, they blocked an area in the east, did not return day and night, and dug holes in the ground, as if they were looking for something." A male snakeman answered respectfully.

"Looking for what?" The female snakeman with a white wooden hairpin raised her eyebrows.

Recently, she has been a little sensitive to "looking for something" because all the snakeman tribes have started to move because of Queen Medusa's order.

"Do you think they are looking for the same thing as us?"

"This... I don't know." The male snakeman shook his head.

"I will take people to check it out tomorrow, you guard the tribe, if I don't come back, you know what to do, right? Jiang Wu."

The snakeman called Jiang Wu scratched his head, "Avenge you?"

"Stupid, of course I will quickly notify the commander and tell her that a powerful person has come to Shimo City and is still looking for something."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Wu nodded.

Walking out of the leader's house, a snake man with triangular eyes and a gloomy look swam over with his tail.

"Captain Jiang Wu." The gloomy snake man with triangular eyes greeted, "What is the attitude of Chief Jiang Yin?"

"Sister Jiang Yin said that she will take people to test it tomorrow... Speaking of which, you are about to break through to the Dou Shi level, right? Come on." Jiang Wu encouraged, and then left.

The gloomy snake man raised his right hand, pinched his right eye socket, and a smile slowly rose at the corner of his mouth.

...

"Brother, what is the city lord doing? Didn't he say that he was going to negotiate and let the people of the Sand Mercenary Group give way? Why did he join in and draw so many soldiers over?"

A young man wearing a mercenary uniform, with a straight and powerful posture, and a bit of fierceness in his dark eyes asked with some confusion. His name is Xiao Li, the second leader of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, and also Xiao Yan's second brother.

The young man he called his elder brother was dressed in a white robe, with bright eyes and a bit of cunning. This was Xiao Li and Xiao Yan's elder brother, Xiao Ding, the head of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Xiao Ding held his chin and guessed, "Maybe there is some common interest driving them to do this, but if Sha Luozhen has any clues about the relics of the ancestors, he must not be willing to share. And the city lord's purpose at the beginning was just to make him give up the road...

"So the Sand Mercenary Group's move to block the eastern part of Shimo City is probably really because of someone's mission, just as they said.

"And the Lord of Mu's behavior is probably because the person who commissioned the Sand Mercenary Group has offered a price that he can't refuse... It means that the mysterious person has a great background, so the Lord of Mu has to compromise."

"Should we go and take a look, maybe we can get a share." Xiao Li's face showed an eager expression.

Xiao Ding hesitated for a moment, and was a little tempted, but still shook his head and objected: "If we go there now, we will only be targeted by the city lord and Sha Luo. Just keep a close eye on the movements over there. If we don't have enough manpower and need to continue recruiting, then let's go over there and try."

...

In the eastern part of the Monster Mountain Range, Xiao Yan and the mercenaries have encountered several waves of attacks after entering the forest. The monsters that attacked them all had a white circle on their right eye sockets without exception.

Watching the mercenaries wearing crystal monocles on their right eyes fighting with the monsters with white marks that seemed to be wearing monocles, Xiao Yan seemed very confused.

He thought that the "monocle" was a mysterious force, but the current scene overturned his guess. No matter how disharmonious the forces were, they would not fight among themselves for no reason like this.

In a chaos, he left the team. Secretly followed a crow with a circle of white marks on its right eye.

He quickly rushed forward, subdued the crow, and pressed the poor little bird, which was not even a first-level magic beast, to the ground.

"Tell me, what the hell are you?" Xiao Yan pinched the crow's neck tightly and asked viciously.

The crow turned its head, and its eyes were all blank... Just when Xiao Yan thought that he was too nervous, too sensitive to the monocle, and too suspicious, the crow's blank eyes suddenly became smart. It showed a slightly mocking look to Xiao Yan.

It "ga" made a sound, and there was indescribable joy and playfulness in its voice.

Although it was restrained by Xiao Yan, it seemed that it was the one who had the upper hand.

Then... the crow died.

It turned its head too much and broke its neck.

Xiao Yan's eyes were blank.
