Chapter 99 Six Stars, Heading to the Depths of the Tagor Desert

"Humph!"

As the three green dots in Qinglian's pupils transformed into three extremely tiny green flowers, an icy cold snort came from her rosy little mouth.

As these three strange green flowers emerged, a strong dim light suddenly shot out from them, illuminating the two-headed fire snake in front of it.

After being illuminated by this strange light, the huge body of the two-headed fire snake suddenly stiffened, and its two huge eyes stared at the little girl in front of it with some horror.

The strange light moved slowly over the body of the two-headed fire snake, and finally stopped in the center of the foreheads of the two snake heads.

After the dim light stopped moving, it began to slowly shrink. As the range of the dim light became smaller and smaller, the light contained in it became brighter and brighter.

When the dim light shrank to the size of a palm, there was a flash of light, and two small green flowers were imprinted on the two heads of the fire snake.

After the flowers appeared, the faint light gradually disappeared. After a moment, the tiny flowers in Qinglian's pupils quickly dissipated, and in just a moment, they returned to their normal form.

Immediately afterwards, Qinglian's body shook, her eyelids gradually drooped, and finally she fell backwards and fell into a familiar warm embrace.

"Master, what happened?"

Qinglian was hugged by Xiao Yuan, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she blinked her green eyes.

"You have recaptured this two-headed fire snake."

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled as he stuffed a healing pill into Qinglian's mouth.

She wasn't seriously injured, but the contract she had just made with the two-headed fire snake had drained her strength.

After all, although the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils can force a contract with a snake-shaped monster, if the monster signed with the contract is much stronger than the owner of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, then the probability of success is extremely small, and there is even the possibility of backlash.

"Ah I?"

Qinglian blinked when he heard that and looked away in confusion.

The huge two-headed fire snake stood there stupidly. When its gaze swept towards Qinglian, the ferocity and hideousness in it disappeared involuntarily, and was replaced by a full sense of docility.

"Eh? Really?"

Soon, Qinglian was surprised to find that he had actually established a strange connection with this terrifying giant and could sense its thoughts.

"By the way, Master, are you okay?"

But then, Qinglian saw that most of Xiao Yuan's clothes had turned black, and asked with a worried look on her face.

"Haha, can I be hurt by fire? It's okay."

Xiao Yuan felt the burning pain in his back, grinned and said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Qinglian pouted and snorted when she heard that, then looked at the two-headed fire snake with an unfriendly expression.

Feeling Qinglian's gaze gradually becoming colder, the two-headed fire snake lowered its head and kept making a humming sound.

"You want to die?"

Qinglian opened her little mouth and said something that made the huge body of the two-headed fire snake tremble.

The four huge eyes are full of desire for life.

Obviously, it doesn't want to die.

"Forget it, I'm really fine, how do you feel?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan helplessly rubbed Qinglian's little head and asked softly.

"I'm fine, Master. I just feel a little tired. I'll be fine after I go back to sleep."

Qinglian shook her head, leaned on Xiao Yuan's arms, and said with a faint smile.

Then, she turned her head and looked at the two-headed fire snake. Her expression suddenly became much colder. She said in a deep voice: "The young master is kind-hearted and will not bother with you. Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Do you really want to die?"

Two-headed fire snake: “???”

Then, the green light on the forehead of the two-headed fire snake suddenly increased. After an instant, its huge body shrank rapidly, and then turned into a ray of green light and shot into Qinglian's sleeve.

"Behave yourself, or I'll make you commit suicide."

Qinglian patted his sleeves and said softly.

"hiss…"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and grievance in the slight hissing sound.

Xiao Yuan let go of Qinglian, then casually took out a white cloak from his ring and put it on.

The clothes on his back were burned beyond recognition, and there were indeed some burns on his body, but fortunately, these injuries were not a big deal for him.

After waiting for a while, there was a sound of water breaking in the magma lake. Xiao Yuan looked over.
Xiao Yan's figure wrapped in white flames slowly appeared in sight.

"How about it?"

Xiao Yuan walked up to him and asked with a smile.

"Alas, just as Third Brother expected, this Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was probably taken by Queen Medusa first."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the magma world in the huge underground cave, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Then, Xiao Yan turned around and took out a piece of colorful snake scale from his ring and handed it to Xiao Yuan.

"Seven-colored snake scales, it's indeed her..."

Looking at the colorful scales, Xiao Yuan also sighed.

Xiao Yan nodded, pursed his lips, and said softly: "The trace of the strange fire has been completely figured out now. Next, I plan to rush directly to the depths of the Tagor Desert. If there is a chance... I plan to take the strange fire back from Queen Medusa."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Well, the evolution of Queen Medusa is extremely dangerous. There will definitely be some opportunities that we can use. I will go with you. I also need to collect herbs for Hai Lao. I guess the Sand Mandragora will also be deep in the Tagor Desert."

"Well, let's go up first."

Xiao Yan was naturally not surprised by this. When he came down earlier, his third brother's words implied that they were already prepared to go to the depths of the Tagor Desert if they couldn't find the strange fire here.

What's more, Queen Medusa, who is known for her ferocious beauty, is also quite curious.

When Xiao Yuan and his three companions returned to the ground safely, there was obviously a hint of impatience on Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's faces.

Seeing them coming up, they were relieved and quickly surrounded them and asked, "Have you found the strange fire?"

"Alas, Queen Medusa got there first!"

Xiao Yan shook his head regretfully.

"So we plan to go deep into the desert to see if there is any chance to get the strange fire back."

Xiao Yuan followed and said.

"Go deep into the desert? Snatch the strange fire from Queen Medusa?" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at these two daring younger brothers with their eyes widened.

These two little bastards really don’t know how to write the word death!

"Haha, don't worry, big brother. I just want to give it a try. Even if I fail in the end, I have the confidence to escape with my life."

Smiling at Xiao Ding, Xiao Yan comforted him.

"That's right, don't worry, I might have reinforcements this time!"

Xiao Yuan also smiled meaningfully.

"You...oh!"

Looking at his two younger brothers who were so persistent, Xiao Ding frowned for a long time before he shook his head helplessly.

"squeak…"

The door was gently pushed open as the lights flickered. Xiao Yuan exhaled a breath of alcohol, closed the door, got on the bed, and assumed a training posture to first remove the alcohol from his body. Then he moved his seal and began to practice.

Since they were leaving the next day, he and Xiao Yan were caught by Xiao Ding and Xiao Li and got drunk that night. As expected, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were drunk under the table by Xiao Yuan again.

Xiao Yan escaped the disaster because he had to travel the next day.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yuan took out three jade bottles of fine quality from the ring.

There are a total of three Earth Fire Lotus Seeds in here.

Xiao Yan had stuffed it into his pocket on the way back to his residence.

I had originally given him six.

However, Xiao Yuan did not take all of it and only kept half.

After all, this Earth Fire Lotus Seed is more suitable for Xiao Yan who needs the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

What's more, there is no way an elder brother would compete with a younger brother for cultivation resources.

"But, I'm almost breaking through, so one pill should be enough, right?"

After feeling the energy filling his body's Qi Palace, Xiao Yuan touched his chin, thought for a while, took out a Earth Fire Lotus Seed, and put it into his mouth.

As soon as Xiao Yuan took the Earth Fire Lotus Seed into his mouth, his face, which had a light bronze color, suddenly turned as red as a volcano. Above his head, wisps of white mist rose up, which looked quite scary.

In Xiao Yuan's perception, the Earth Fire Lotus Seed directly turned into a stream of hot energy, rushing down along his throat with a brutal attitude.

Soon, the hot energy transformed from the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds quickly flowed into the meridians, and the intense high temperature immediately swept through Xiao Yuan's body.

But Xiao Yuan was not panicked at all. With a thought, a strange fire rose up, wrapped around his meridians and protected them, and began to refine the energy transformed from the Earth Fire Lotus Seed.

Under the refining of the strange fire, the blazing energy began to penetrate into Xiao Yuan's meridians and internal organs, and bits of emerald green light also appeared.

Feeling the meridians becoming wider and more resilient, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little happy.

This Earth Fire Lotus Seed is known as the essence of the fire spirit. It forms once every hundred years. The energy contained in it is absolutely of high quality and quantity. For practitioners of fire attributes, it is definitely a treasure that they are eager to obtain.

Because the energy in it was so huge, Xiao Yuan couldn't even actively control its operation, and could only passively let it rush through his meridians. Anyway, with the protection and refining of the strange fire, he would be able to absorb it all sooner or later.

No one knew how long it had passed, but this pure energy not only repaired all the injuries Xiao Yuan had suffered in the battle with the two-headed fire snake during the day, it also strengthened Xiao Yuan's physical fitness a lot, to the limit of what it could currently be strengthened to. But even so, there was only one third of the pure energy left.

However, at this time, Xiao Yuan could already control this energy more easily, and he started to absorb it by practicing the Fire Element Technique.

As the seal in his hand changed, Xiao Yuan began to refine and absorb the energy and incorporate it into his Qi Palace.

Time continues to pass.
The energy in Xiao Yuanqi Palace became more and more abundant.

The selfless practice lasted from late at night until dawn, when it ended.

When the last bit of energy was infused into the Qi Palace, Xiao Yuan exhaled a breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"Six-star fighter."

Feeling the overflowing fighting spirit in his body, Xiao Yuan's mouth curled up slightly.

The energy of the Earth Fire Lotus Seed was so enormous that it was beyond his imagination. This time, he was promoted not only to a six-star fighter, but even had some extra. He was confident that he could reach seven stars within half a month.

"It's dawn, time to go."

I rolled over and got out of bed, and just as I was about to stand up, the door was pushed open.

"Master, are you leaving?"

Qinglian walked in, her green eyes flashing with loss, and said in a low voice.

"Haha, I'm just leaving for a while. The road ahead is not easy to travel, and I can't protect your safety with you, so I can only let you stay here for the time being.

After Xiao Yan and I take back the strange fire, we will come back. Then, you can follow me."

Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard this, walked up to rub Qinglian's little head, and spoke softly.

"Oh, I'll wait for you then."

Qinglian lowered his eyelids slightly when he heard this and said in a deep voice.

"Haha, don't you have the two-headed fire snake to accompany you? The eldest and second brothers should also take care of you. No one else can bully my maid!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan patted Qinglian's shoulder gently and said with a smile.

"Well, thank you, Master. I will also work hard to become stronger!"

Qinglian nodded obediently upon hearing this, and three small dots appeared faintly in her emerald green pupils.

"Haha, okay! I believe you can do it!"

Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard that, and then, with the help of Qinglian, he changed into a clean and tidy outfit and strode out the door.

"By the way, remember to say goodbye to my two brothers for me. But I guess they will understand me, right? Haha, Qinglian, keep up the good work!"

Turning his head and laughing softly, Xiao Yuan walked straight out. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan appeared from the side and followed him. The two figures, one black and one white, walked out of the courtyard together.

Looking at the gradually blurred handsome back, Qinglian gently stroked the two-headed fire snake on her arm and whispered, "Master, you must come back!"

On the highest balcony in the mercenary group, Xiao Li propped up his chin and looked at the two figures walking out of the compound. He curled his lips and said with a smile: "These two little guys are indeed brothers who were born together. Their personalities are exactly the same!"

"hehe."

On the side, Xiao Ding, who was leaning against a pillar, smiled slightly, stared at the two figures, one in black and one in white, and murmured softly:
"These two little guys have become so strong in the blink of an eye. It seems that we have to work hard, otherwise we will only hold them back in the future!"

"Oh, yes!"

Xiao Li nodded upon hearing this and agreed with emotion.

All the mercenaries from the Sand Mercenary Group have been incorporated into the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. Now is the perfect time for them to expand their power!
Perhaps next time when Xiao Yuan and the others come back, the Motie Mercenary Group will be able to become the undisputed number one mercenary group in Shimo City!
