The Lion King had gone mad, unleashing its beasts everywhere, attacking any humans in sight. Even the Myriad Medicine Workshop's herb teams suffered.
Blood Battle Mercenary Group avoided disaster only because Fei Lei had warned them before leaving for the Xiao family.
After learning from Fei Lei that his Third Brother had gone to Black Rock City, Xiao Yan followed, passed an exam, became a two-tier alchemist, and flew to the desert city on a transport beast.
He had no choice but to begin his desert training earlier.
Naturally, he sought a high-quality map—and ended up meeting Hai Bodong.
Though Xiao Yan didn't know Hai Bodong, Hai Bodong noticed he resembled Xiao Jian.
When he tried to probe Xiao Yan, Yao Lao froze him solid with Bone-Chilling Flame.
You two brothers… one is more monstrous than the other," Hai Bodong muttered, questioning his entire existence.
A sixteen-year-old with a strange flame, a Five-Star Dou Shi, capable of threatening Dou Ling… and another sixteen-year-old, a two-tier alchemist whose strength could erupt to Dou Huang level. It was absurd.
Xiao Yan apologized awkwardly. After confirming Xiao Jian's identity and exchanging information, he agreed to refine the sixth-tier pill for Hai Bodong in exchange for information on strange flames.
Under the scorching heat, Xiao Jian continued forward, pondering whether he could find a magical beast to bully for a while. Suddenly, his brows lifted.
He turned to see a figure tumbling down a sand dune, rolling until he landed right at his feet.
Finally...a living human.
Xiao Jian splashed water over the man's face. The man awoke in panic, but relaxed when he saw Xiao Jian's calm expression.
One glance at the badge on his chest made Xiao Jian raise an eyebrow.
The Desert Iron Mercenary Group.
"You're one of them?" Xiao Jian asked.
"Yes… and you are…?"
"Consider me your Third Commander."
The man froze. "Come on, kid, don't joke. Our squad was attacked by snake-people. We're barely holding on.
Please....go to Stone Desert City and call for reinforcements!"
"I'm not joking. Tell me the names of your two commanders."
"Xiao Ding… Xiao Li…"
"My name is Xiao Jian. Do you believe me now?"
Recognition dawned. Xiao Jian tossed him a vial of Blood-Coagulation Powder. "Your injuries aren't serious. Apply it and then bring me to your squad."
"You're going alone? You can't! There are eight snake-people....three of them are Nine-Star Fighters! You must call the mercenary regiment. The commanders will be here quickly!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Apply the medicine and lead the way. I'm a Dou Shi.
Why would I fear a few Fighters? By the time my brothers arrive, your people will be corpses. Is that what you want?"
The man stared at Xiao Jian....bare-chested, wearing only shorts, looking sixteen or seventeen....and struggled to reconcile that with the word "Dou Shi." Still, he forced a nod, rubbed in the medicine, and pointed past the dune.
"They're… just over there."
Xiao Jian glanced at the sand dune, nodded slightly, grabbed the man's arm, and in the next moment, his figure floated out like drifting feathers.
In the blink of an eye, two afterimages appeared.
The man only felt his vision blur, and the next second he saw the mercenary brothers beneath the dune as well as the snake-people surrounding them. He was instantly stunned.
Xiao Jian lowered his head and looked down. Ten mercenaries were standing shoulder-to-shoulder holding weapons, forming a defensive circle.
Around them, eight creatures with human upper bodies and snake lower bodies had surrounded them.
Their tails flicked, producing hissing sounds that made one's skin crawl.
"Tsk, so ugly."
Looking at the ferocious, hideous faces of the snake-men, Xiao Jian couldn't help but comment.
He had always heard that female snake-people were stunning beauties, but how come these male snake-people looked so unbearably hideous?
So much for the law of beauty equilibrium, huh?
"Little bro… my lord, this is our Sand-Iron Mercenary Group's small squad.
Originally, we planned to hunt magical beasts, but we didn't expect these things to ambush us…"
The man looked at Xiao Jian's side profile with reverence and said softly.
Although he still didn't dare confirm whether this was the Third Commander, Xiao Jian's strength alone had earned his respect.
"All right, wait here. I'm counting on you all to lead the way later. This desert is too damn hard to navigate."
Xiao Jian nodded. Thinking of how he had almost gotten lost in the desert these past few days, he couldn't help but frown.
Then he looked again at the mercenary squad below.
Ten people: eight men and two women. One of the women was quite beautiful, and her clothing and figure carried a seductive, wild charm. Somehow… she looked very familiar?
"Kill them all....leave the women!"
