Chapter 60 Your Grandpa
The headquarters of the Sand Mercenary Group.
Xiao Ding, along with Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor, quickly arrived at the outer perimeter of the camp.
"Brother Xiao Zheng, the Sand Mercenary Group's stronghold is just ahead. There must be quite a few guards inside."
Xiao Ding lowered his voice, his eyes filled with worry.
Xiao Zheng waved his hand, his expression indifferent: "Big brother, just wait here. I'm going to rescue them."
"How can this be allowed? They outnumber us and have the upper hand!"
Although Xiao Ding knew that Xiao Zheng was a Great Dou Master, he considered that for a Great Dou Master, advancing to the next minor realm could take anywhere from several months to several years...
He didn't think that Xiao Zheng's strength could have improved much in just half a year.
Even if there is some improvement, it would only be around the level of a two-star Grand Dou Master, while Luo Bu's strength is far beyond that level.
Therefore, Xiao Ding was very worried about Xiao Zheng's decision to go alone.
"Don't worry, they're just a bunch of worthless bastards."
Xiao Zheng smiled confidently and turned to Little Fairy Doctor, saying, "You stay here and provide support."
"it is good."
Little Fairy Doctor didn't say a word.
Xiao Ding had read some of Xiao Zheng's information in his father's letter and knew that his younger brother was cautious and wouldn't do anything he wasn't sure of.
Since Xiao Zheng was so confident, there must be no problem, so he didn't try to persuade him any further, but solemnly reminded him, "Brother, be careful in everything!"
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, straightened his clothes, and walked straight towards the Sand Mercenary Group's base.
"Halt! Who goes there?"
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the garrison, two guards wielding steel knives shouted at them sternly, their eyes full of vigilance.
In the past few days, the regimental commander, Luo Bu, has ordered a state of emergency, and anyone who approaches the area will be thoroughly investigated.
Xiao Zheng glanced at them, a playful smile playing on his lips: "Damn you."
"court death!"
The two guards were immediately enraged, their fighting spirit surging, and they slashed at Xiao Zheng with their steel blades, the wind from their blades fierce.
Xiao Zheng's eyes turned cold, and with a casual wave of his right hand, silver lightning battle qi instantly condensed into a star-shaking whip, sweeping out with a whooshing sound.
puff-
"what!"
"what!"
Two screams rang out almost simultaneously. Before the two guards could even react, they were whipped in two by the Star-Shaking Whip, their blood splattering all over the open space in front of the gate.
The commotion instantly alerted the people in the camp, and figures rushed in from all directions, wielding weapons and surrounding Xiao Zheng.
Immediately afterward, a burly figure dressed in black sleek clothes strode over; it was Rob, the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group.
Rob sensed the aura of a Great Dou Master emanating from Xiao Zheng, his expression darkening slightly. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? When did my Sand Mercenary Group offend you?"
"Kill the Saudis."
Xiao Zheng spoke calmly, his gaze fixed on Luo Bu, "I killed them; it has nothing to do with the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. Why are you making things difficult for them?"
"Hand over the person, or the Sand Mercenary Group will be expelled from Stone Desert City today."
Rob sized Xiao Zheng up and down, and seeing how young he was, he immediately felt contempt for him. In his opinion, this kid had at most managed to reach the level of a one-star Great Dou Master by chance, and was not worth fearing at all.
"You little rascal, you've got some nerve!"
Rob grinned maliciously, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "You dare to come here and cause trouble after killing my men? Today, I'll not only kill you to atone for my brothers' sins, but I'll also make the entire Desert Iron Mercenary Group pay the price!"
"Negotiations broke down."
Xiao Zheng was too lazy to waste any more words, and the Star-Shaking Whip in his hand lashed out at Luo Bu with the force of thunder, the silver whip shadow drawing a sharp arc in the air.
Rob's expression changed, and he quickly drew his steel sword from his waist. His fighting spirit surged wildly into the blade as he roared, "Shadowless Sword Technique!"
He unleashed his full power with a low-level Xuan-rank combat skill, his steel blade transforming into a series of afterimages as he slashed towards the Star-Shaking Whip.
clang--
A piercing metallic clang rang out as Rob's steel blade was cleaved in two by the Star-Shaking Whip, the broken pieces flying out and embedding themselves in the nearby wall.
Rob was startled. Without thinking, he hurriedly activated his battle qi to condense a layer of earth-yellow battle qi armor to protect his entire body.
pia——
The Star-Shaking Whip struck hard against the battle qi armor, instantly shattering the seemingly sturdy armor and sending ripples of battle qi spreading outwards.
Rob coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered backward.
Xiao Zheng gave him no chance to react. With a flick of his wrist, the Star-Shaking Whip was thrown out again, precisely wrapping around Luo Bu's waist.
"what!"
A piercing scream rang out as Rob was lashed in two by the Star-Shaking Whip, his body crashing heavily to the ground, staining a large area of the ground red with blood.
Witnessing their leader being instantly killed, the members of the Sand Mercenary Group around them were terrified and lost all will to fight. They dropped their weapons and turned to flee in all directions.
Xiao Zheng was too lazy to deal with these people who were fleeing in disarray. None of them were particularly powerful, so he decided to let the Mo Tie Mercenary Group handle them.
Watching this scene from a short distance away, Xiao Ding was deeply shocked and secretly exclaimed, "The power of a Great Dou Master is terrifying!"
He and Little Fairy Doctor walked quickly forward together.
"Thanks, bro!"
Xiao Ding expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Xiao Zheng waved his hand: "Find someone first."
The three immediately began searching the Sand Mercenary Group's base and soon found all the members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group being imprisoned in the basement.
Most of these people were injured and looked haggard, but thankfully they were all still alive.
"Big brother! Brother Xiao Zheng!"
Upon seeing the group, Xiao Li's eyes reddened with emotion. He quickly led everyone forward to express their gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Xiao Zheng, for saving us. We are deeply grateful!"
Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "We're brothers, no need to be so polite."
At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up, and she rubbed her hands together, saying, "Brother Xiao Zheng, it's time for the essential part of annihilating the clan again!"
Xiao Zheng was both amused and exasperated, and explained to Xiao Ding, "My maid has a particular fondness for confiscating property."
Xiao Ding laughed heartily: "Brother Xiao Zheng, you're joking. You've wiped out the Sand Mercenary Group, everything here is yours. Take whatever you want!"
Xiao Zheng smiled and then began searching the encampment with Little Fairy Doctor.
However, this Sand Mercenary Group was much poorer than the Galley family and the Oba family. After searching for a long time, they only found 60 gold coins of value, which Xiao Zheng casually put into his storage ring.
That night, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li held a grand thank-you banquet for Xiao Zheng at the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's base.
At the banquet, Xiao Zheng glanced around and saw a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old standing in the corner.
She had unusual eyes, fair skin, and a hint of timidity between her brows; she seemed to be a human-snake hybrid named Qinglin.
Upon seeing Qinglin, Xiao Zheng's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but think of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
He pondered for a moment.
Judging by the time, Medusa should have already taken away that strange fire by now.
With his current strength, it's impossible for him to seize the strange fire from Medusa. The most important thing right now is to find poison and cultivate Little Fairy Doctor's strength as soon as possible.
Xiao Zheng then stopped thinking about the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
The next morning, Xiao Zheng and Little Fairy Doctor bid farewell to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
Xiao Ding took out a detailed map and handed it to Xiao Zheng: "Brother, this was drawn overnight. It records all the highly poisonous medicinal herbs that can be found in the Tagor Desert. It might be of help to you."
Xiao Zheng took the map: "Thank you, brother."
Little Fairy Doctor can improve her cultivation level by directly consuming highly poisonous herbs; this map might be of great help.
Afterwards, the two left the Desert Iron Mercenary Group's base and headed to the flying magical beast rental point in Stone Desert City, where they boarded the fastest flying magical beast and flew towards the capital of the Gama Empire.
Two days later, the flying magical beast slowly landed at the magical beast arena on the outskirts of the capital.
Xiao Zheng looked up and saw that the city walls of the capital were towering into the clouds, with endless blue bricks and gray tiles. The streets were bustling with traffic and people. It was more than ten times more prosperous than Wutan City and Shimo City. It was indeed the core area of the Jiama Empire.
As soon as he entered the city, Xiao Zheng heard passersby talking about a large-scale auction that was about to be held.
But upon closer listening, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but frown.
This auction is by invitation only; an invitation is required to attend.
Just as he was pondering how to obtain the invitation, a familiar, charming voice came from behind him: "Mr. Xiao? I never expected to run into you here!"
Xiao Zheng turned his head and saw Ya Fei wearing a red dress, her figure graceful, looking at him with a smile.
"Miss Yafei?"
Xiao Zheng was somewhat surprised.
Ya Fei stepped forward gracefully and said with a smile, "I was transferred back to the headquarters in the capital a couple of days ago. I didn't expect to run into Mr. Xiao here.
