Chapter 382 Three Brothers

The yellow sand was flying all over the sky, the wind was strong, and the sand was soft. It was difficult to walk lightly in such a place.

Xiao Yan walked in the endless yellow sand as if walking on flat ground. After taking the companion purple crystal source, his strength was upgraded from an eight-star fighter to a nine-star fighter. Then he crossed the Warcraft Mountains. In the process, his fighting spirit was liquefied and he was upgraded to a fighter.

He took the level assessment in the Alchemist Union and became a second-grade alchemist. He used a bottle of companion purple crystal source to exchange for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring from Gu Te.

After all the auxiliary conditions for absorbing the strange fire were complete, Xiao Yan rushed to the Tagor Desert impatiently.

Yao Chen sighed: "I also heard rumors of the existence of strange fire in the Tagor Desert, but I never saw it. I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You have already got a map of the hiding place of strange fire before you even reach the desert."

Xiao Yan replied: "It may not be true or false. The simple drawing makes me feel like it's a prank."

"But the pile of treasures and the Ice Spirit Flame Grass can't be fake." Yao Chen laughed, "Even Douhuang strongmen would find it difficult not to be tempted by the treasure in the cave, right?"

"That's true." Xiao Yan's eyes were more expectant.

The wind and sand gradually subsided, and the ancient city wall in front came into view. When he got closer, Xiao Yan could clearly see the three big characters on the plaque hanging on the city gate: "Shimo City."

His face was more excited. Shimo City, but his relatives are there!

Only those who have been away from home for a long time can experience the joy of meeting relatives and friends in a foreign land.

"Xiao Yanzi, you seem to be a little bit off. Even if the strange fire is right in front of you, you have to keep a good attitude." Yao Chen said.

"Teacher, you misunderstood. It's not because of that. My elder brother Xiao Ding and my second brother Xiao Li are in Shimo City. They have set up a mercenary group." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Oh, I see. That's just right. After all, the temptation of strange fire is too great. Since your two brothers have set up a mercenary group here, it's just right to ask them for help." Yao Chen said.

"That's what I meant."

...

"Here, here."

"He's here."

"Come on, everyone. We must let them feel our enthusiasm."

At the gate of Shimo City, several guards wearing monocles kept communicating.

They stood straight, neatly dressed, and looked straight ahead.

When Xiao Yan walked through the gate, they suddenly shouted in unison: "Hello, sir!"

The loud voice echoed in the gate hole, and Xiao Yan was frightened.

He was at a loss for two seconds, and then he remembered that he was wearing the clothes of a second-grade alchemist, and he was a little amused.

Then, he noticed that every guard was wearing a monocle on his right eye, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Is this trend so popular?"

At the same time, next to the station of the Motie Mercenary Group, in a newly opened drinking water store, an old man in a blue robe slowly raised his head and smiled.

Xiao Yan came to the station of the Motie Mercenary Group, and when he passed by the drinking water store next to him, he looked inside with a little curiosity.

Probably only in a place like the desert, there would be people who specialize in selling clean drinking water.

When he looked inside, the old man in a blue robe sitting behind the counter also looked out and smiled at him.

Xiao Yan also smiled and nodded.

Walking into the Motie Mercenary Group, the guard at the door stopped him.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" one person asked.

"Is this the base of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group? I wonder if your two leaders are at home? Please inform them and say that Xiao Yan is visiting." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Xiao Yan? Third leader?" The mercenary guarding the door did not doubt him and said directly: "The first leader is here, and the second leader has taken people out. They have instructed that if the third leader comes here, just take him to see them directly."

The name of the third leader Xiao Yan, who has never shown his face, is not well-known. In this Stone Desert City, probably only people inside the mercenary group have heard of him, so it can be basically ruled out that someone is pretending.

Xiao Yan's heart is warm. Even though they are thousands of miles apart, his two brothers still care about him.

The mercenary took Xiao Yan to find Xiao Ding.

"Xiao Yanzi!" Xiao Ding showed a look of surprise. He stepped forward quickly and gave him a hug.

"Hahaha, you are also out for training? My father wrote that your strange symptoms have been resolved." Although Xiao Ding's temperament is more like a scholar, his behavior is also heroic like a mercenary.

"Yes, it's a blessing in disguise." Xiao Yan replied.

The two chatted for a while, and a mercenary-dressed man with a bit of ruthlessness between his eyebrows walked in: "Brother, I heard that Xiao Yanzi is here?"

The moment he saw Xiao Yan, the ruthlessness between the young man's eyebrows disappeared, leaving only a gentle smile.

He sat down next to Xiao Yan, and the three began to share their experiences during their training.

After talking about the dangers Xiao Yan had experienced, Xiao Li suddenly asked with a hint of resentment:

"Xiao Yanzi, is that true? Nalan Yanran came to the Xiao family to break off the engagement in public, making you and your father embarrassed."

"Second brother!" Xiao Ding frowned, worried that mentioning such a great humiliation would irritate Xiao Yan.

But to their surprise, Xiao Yan did not show a trace of anger, but just smiled calmly and said: "It's true, but don't take it to heart, I will handle it."

When Xiao Yan heard someone mention Nalan Yanran again, he really didn't feel angry at all. Now looking back at her behavior, he only felt like an elder watching a younger person's mischief.

Perhaps, this is what growth is...

"Let's not talk about this. Actually, I came to the Tagor Desert to find something." Xiao Yan lowered his voice.

Xiao Ding glanced at the alchemist symbol on his chest and replied, "Is it the strange fire?"

"Ah?" Xiao Yan was stunned, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Are you really looking for the strange fire?" Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, then shook his head: "Alas, Xiao Yanzi, you are late, the thing may have been taken away by someone."

"What's going on?" Xiao Yan asked anxiously.

Xiao Ding did not keep him in suspense and responded straightforwardly:

"About half a year ago, Dan King Gu He came to Shimo City. He hired the Sand Mercenary Group to search for a long time in an area east of the city.

"Later, a Douhuang War broke out there. The two sides fighting were Queen Medusa of the Snake People and a man who was suspected to be the previous leader of Yunlan Sect.

"Yunlan Sect seemed to have suffered some losses... Later, there was news that what they were fighting for seemed to be a strange fire, and Dan King Gu He might have died in that battle.

"Of course, we only heard about it, and we don't know for sure. After all, such people are too far away from us."

Xiao Yan was shocked. Dan King Gu He died? He was a sixth-grade alchemist!

Yunlan Sect suffered a loss. Did the strange fire fall into the hands of Queen Medusa?
