When the second day arrived, the entire Rock Desert City shook. Because the two great mercenary companies of the Rock Desert City were exterminated in a single night! Most of them guessed that it was done by the Blazing Fire Manor or the Water Sky Manor! However, most of them thought that it was done by the Fire Manor because the Water Sky Manor was the superior of the Storm Mercenary Group. How could they kill their own forces?
Outside the Rock Desert City, the sun was high in the sky. The members of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company were still carefully searching inch by inch.
"Big brother, have you noticed that there doesn't seem to be anyone from other forces around here today?"”Xiao Li stood on a sand dune. His gaze swept around him. A long while later, he frowned slightly, turned his head, and spoke to Xiao Ding by the side.
"Hehe, you still don't know? The Rock Desert City was spreading the news that the Storm Mercenary Company and the Sand Mercenary Company had been exterminated!”Xiao Ding laughed. Hearing this, Xiao Li said helplessly,"Eh, could this be Xiao Yu's cousin's doing?"”
"It's indeed a little speechless. Sigh, what a genius!”Xiao Li nodded and bitterly smiled.
Xiao Ding softly smiled. He turned his head and swept his gaze toward a sand dune a short distance away that was specially used for resting. At that spot, the young man did not enter the interior of the tent to hide from the hot sun. Instead, he stared at the scorching sun and sat cross-legged on the hot sand. He slowly absorbed the rich fire affinity energy in the surrounding area and allowed sweat to roll down from his forehead like flowing water, covering his clothes.
This person was Xiao Yu. Because there were many benefits for Xiao Yu to cultivate here, he would cultivate here for a few hours every day!
"Guild Leader! The third team seemed to have found some traces of a passage!”
Just as the Xiao Ding duo were sighing with emotion, a human figure suddenly ran over swiftly from afar and shouted in an excited voice.
"You found it?" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were startled at the same time when they heard this voice. Immediately, wild joy surged onto their faces. They exchanged glances with each other before turning their eyes to the sand dune. They saw that Xiao Yu had also opened his eyes at this moment.
Listening to the voice. Xiao Yu was slightly stunned. Then, he quickly withdrew from his cultivation state. He patted the yellow sand off his body. Hurriedly, he rushed towards the figure that was running towards him. "Have you found the passage?" he asked anxiously.”
"Hehe. He seemed to have found some traces. From our experience. There was a high possibility. It is the tunnel that leads underground." The mercenary who ran over grinned.
Xiao Yu urged impatiently,"Let's go." Quickly bring me to take a look!"
"Alright." The mercenary's gaze swept over Xiao Ding and Xiao Li who were quickly rushing over from behind. He smiled and nodded. Then, he quickly turned around and led the way.
He followed the mercenaries and jogged towards the north for a few minutes. He saw a huge crowd. They surged into a slightly sunken sandy ground. They whispered to each other.
"Move aside. Move aside!" The mercenary who was leading the way shouted loudly as he cleared a path. Xiao Yu followed. He glanced over. He was pleasantly surprised. This was a sunken land. The mercenaries had already dug out a hole that was about half a meter deep. He glanced at the cave entrance. It was pitch black. Moreover, there was a faint heat rising from it.
"Is this the place?" Xiao Yu pointed at the black hole and asked.
Ha ha, yes, the entrance of the cave was originally blocked by yellow sand. If it was not for Qing Lin sensing that there was some unusual aura remaining in this place, it is likely that we would really have difficulty discovering it.”One of the mercenaries replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's gaze drifted toward Qing Lin on the opposite side. He discovered that the little girl's body was currently covered in yellow sand. However, her exquisite little face contained some joy.
Xiao Yu thought helplessly,"Hehe, it should be this passage!" He remembered that the original novel said that Xiao Yan and Xiao Ding saw a magma pool at the end of a tunnel before discovering the Magical Beast! Hehe! Let's go take a look!"
Xiao Yu once again looked at Qing Lin. Qing Lin exchanged a glance with him. Her small face revealed a slight shyness. Immediately, she winked playfully at him.
"Hehe, Qing Lin, well done!”Xiao Yu gave Qing Lin a thumbs up and looked at the bright smile on Qing Lin's face. He smiled gently and slowly walked to the entrance of the pitch-black cave. With a flip of his hand, a Moonlight Stone appeared in his hand. After which, he threw it into the cave.
The faint light emitted by the Moonlight Stone rolled a few times in the pitch-black cave before gradually disappearing completely.
Looking at the rapidly disappearing moonlight stone, Xiao Yu frowned slightly and said softly," Looks like this passage isn't a straight line.”
"Hmm, we've already sent people to investigate. There are at least a dozen tunnels below, and each of them twists and turns, like a huge snake crawling through the tunnels.”The mercenary who had led the way smiled bitterly.
Why don't I send people down to search them one by one?”Xiao Ding's laughter was suddenly transmitted from behind.
Xiao Yu turned around and looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. He shook his head slightly and said, I am already very satisfied that the Desert Metal Mercenary Company has spent such a large amount of manpower to help me find the passage. If I let them enter again, if something suddenly appears and causes some damage, that is not a situation that I wish to see.”
"Ke ke, Xiao Yan, there is no need to worry. Our 'Desert Metal Mercenary Company' does not have people who are greedy for life.”The surrounding members of the Desert Metal Company laughed loudly.
"How about this, I'll choose a dozen members with good strength and go down with you to take a look. After all, we can't be at ease letting you go down alone. Otherwise, if something happens, I'm afraid that my furious father will rush over from Wu Tan City and kill us."”Xiao Ding mused for a moment before laughing softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled. "Yes! Alright!" That…young master…in the passage below, there were remnants of the aura of that person from half a year ago. I think I should be able to lead you to the right passage.”Just as Xiao Yu was about to begin his action, Qing Lin's timid voice caused his brows to suddenly be lifted in surprise. Really?" Xiao Yu swiftly turned his head and stared at the cute porcelain doll-like Qing Lin as he happily said.
···········
"Yeah." Seeing Xiao Yu's joy, Qing Lin gently covered her mouth and smiled. She thought in her heart,"Hubby should be very happy!"
Hehe, alright." Xiao Ding smiled and nodded. His gaze swept over his surroundings before he swiftly pointed out some names. After which, he instructed everyone in a deep voice,"After we enter, tighten the defense around us. We must not let anyone cause trouble. This kind of sand layer is not very firm. If we are not careful and cause the sand layer to collapse, I'm afraid that those who enter will be buried alive…"
"Don't worry, Leader. During this period of time, whoever dares to enter this area, no matter who they are, we can only be ruthless!”Hearing Xiao Ding's order, the surrounding Desert Metal Mercenary Company members immediately responded in unison with fierce faces.
.......................
"As for second brother, after we go down, you'll need to be in charge. If I don't put someone in charge, I won't be at ease.”Xiao Ding still felt somewhat insecure after instructing everyone. He once again turned his head and spoke to Xiao Li.
Xiao Yu thought to himself,'The Water Sky Mansion and the Fiery Flame Mansion shouldn't be so bold as to come here and cause trouble! If you dare to come, I will make your ending worse than the Storm Mercenary Company and the Sand Mercenary Company! Haha!"
Hearing this, Xiao Li, who originally planned to follow them down, could only helplessly nod his head.
After giving all the instructions, Xiao Ding took out a large bundle of rope from the side and tested its sturdiness. After which, he tied it to a wooden stake that had already been fixed. At the same time, he threw the rope in his hand into the hole.
"This passage isn't too steep. These ropes are only used for insurance. If we hear someone shouting from below, the people on top can use the ropes to quickly pull us up.”Xiao Ding clapped his hands and said with a smile.
Xiao Yu laughed bitterly when he saw that Xiao Ding had actually thought of this properly. He took the lead and arrived at the dark black cave entrance. He turned his head and beckoned to Qing Lin by the side.
Qing Lin hurriedly jogged over when she saw Xiao Yan's action. A pair of strange jade-green eyes stared at Xiao Yan in an intelligent manner.
Xiao Yu's gaze roughly swept over that pair of enchanting jade-green eyes. He sighed in his heart. After which, he extended his arm and pulled Qing Lin into his embrace while she was still stunned. He smiled and said,"You can point out the path later."
Being embraced by Xiao Yu, Qing Lin's small face gradually flushed red. She lowered her small face and gently nodded.
"Qing Lin is really cute!" Xiao Yu said helplessly in his heart. Hehe!" Everyone, let's go!" Xiao Yu smiled softly and nodded to Xiao Ding. After which, he took the lead to grab the rope and leap into the pitch-black cave.
