Alarm

Looking at the moonlight overhead, Lin Ming shook his head and then returned to his room.

Early in the morning, Lin Ming got out of bed again, served by Qing Lin.

"Qing Lin, have Commander Xiao and the others returned?" Lin Ming asked, watching Qing Lin washing herself in the basin with a towel.

"Commander Xiao and the others left early this morning, presumably to complete the task assigned by Brother Lin Ming!" Qing Lin looked up and said to Lin Ming in response to Lin Ming question.

"Is that so? Qing Lin, let's go! Let's go take a look at the scene. I wonder if Commander Xiao and the others found anything after yesterday's search." After a while, Lin Ming Qing Lin said to Qing Lin after she had finished packing the towel.

"Really? Brother Lin Ming!" Qing Lin asked happily when she heard Lin Ming say he would take her along.

"Of course it's true. Let's go, we'll set off now." Seeing Qing Lin's smiling face, Lin Ming immediately smiled and said.

"Okay!" Qing Lin smiled and ran to Lin Ming's side, then followed Lin Ming outside.

After leaving the Desert Iron Mercenary Group's base, Lin Ming took Qing Lin bought a lot of food on the street. Then, as if taking a stroll, they ate as they walked towards their destination.

Half an hour later, looking at the crowd scattered around, Lin Ming said to Qing Lin, "Qing Lin, Commander Xiao and the others are over there. Let's go over!"

Qing Lin nodded and followed Lin Ming's steps forward.

"Young Master Lin, you've arrived too!" Xiao Ding greeted Lin Ming upon his arrival.

"Commander Xiao, how's it going? Have you found anything?" Lin Ming asked, looking at Xiao Ding ahead.

"Young Master Lin, we've already surveyed the surface area and found nothing unusual. Today we'll explore deeper." Upon hearing Lin Ming inquire about the progress, Xiao Ding immediately informed Lin Ming of the current situation.

"Okay! Then Commander Xiao, you can go ahead and get busy! Don't worry about it..."

"Lin... Lin Ming... Brother... Brother! I... I..."

Lin Ming hadn't finished speaking with Xiao Ding when Qing Lin's voice came over.

Seeing Qing Lin's extremely pale face and her body trembling involuntarily, Lin Ming immediately hugged Qing Lin and asked anxiously, "Qing Lin! What's wrong with you!"

Held in Lin Ming's arms, Qing Lin's Qing Lin body felt a little relieved, but her face was still frighteningly pale.

Looking at Lin Ming who was holding her, Qing Lin's voice trembled, "Let's go! Brother Lin... Brother Lin Ming, Qing Lin wants... wants to go back!"

Seeing Qing Lin's fearful and anxious expression, Lin Ming knew that Qing Lin had probably discovered something.

Even with his Peak Dou Spirit cultivation and super strong Soul Power, he couldn't detect anything unusual, so there was only one explanation for Qing Lin's condition: Qing Lin was relying on her bloodline.

Qing Lin possesses both human and Snake People Race bloodlines. Ordinary human bloodlines don't have any special functions. If Qing Lin truly sensed something through Bloodline Power, it could only be through the Snake People Bloodline within her.

With Lin Ming's current cultivation level and Soul Power, even Snake Person at the Dou Wang realm wouldn't be able to escape his detection.

If Snake Person truly arrives and manages to evade my detection, then this Snake Person must have surpassed the Dou King cultivation.

Currently, there is only one Snake People Race who has surpassed the Dou King cultivation and is active outside.

The thought of this being possibly arriving sent a chill down Lin Ming's spine. However, at this moment, Lin Ming knew he couldn't act rashly.

So Lin Ming immediately replied to Qing Lin, "Okay! Brother Lin Ming will take Qing Lin back!"

After saying that, Lin Ming picked up Qing Lin and ran towards Stone Desert City. A short while later, Lin Ming returned to the Desert Iron Mercenary Group's base.

In fact, given Lin Ming's speed, he could reach the Desert Iron Mercenary Group's base in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea if he went all out. However, Lin Ming dared not reveal his cultivation level, and even slowed down his running speed to make himself appear no different from the members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Back at the Desert Iron Mercenary Group's base, Lin Ming looked at Qing Lin, whose complexion had gradually returned to normal and whose body had stopped trembling, and immediately asked, "Qing Lin Ming, did you discover something just now?"

Upon hearing Lin Ming's question, Qing Lin trembled involuntarily before looking at Lin Ming and saying, "Brother Lin... Brother Lin Ming, just now Qing Lin sensed an aura that is the same as my bloodline. This aura is much stronger than the aura Brother Lin Ming emitted yesterday!"

"It really is Queen Medusa!" Lin Ming said with difficulty after receiving Qing Lin's reply. At this moment, Lin Ming felt a chill rising from his back, and cold sweat involuntarily poured out of his forehead.

Now, Lin Ming could only be thankful that he had reacted in time and hadn't used the Purple Crystal Wings to fly, nor had he revealed his presence.

Otherwise, if Queen Medusa were to discover that one of these people was a Dou Ling Peak among them, she probably wouldn't have let him off so easily.

If he were truly exposed, facing Queen Medusa, who was two levels higher than him and had reached the Peak Dou Emperor, Lin Ming didn't think he had much chance of survival.

Even if he releases the attribute suppression in his dantian at this moment, allowing the Five Element Effect to circulate, Lin Ming's chances of escaping will absolutely not exceed one percent.

Now that Queen Medusa has discovered this place, Lin Ming, the Green Lotus Core Flame, doesn't think he has any chance of snatching it from Queen Medusa. So staying here now is only dangerous and offers no other benefits.

"Qing Lin, it's too dangerous here. How about Brother Lin Ming takes you away?" Feeling increasingly frightened, Lin Ming immediately spoke to Qing Lin.

"Okay!" Seeing Lin Ming's concerned expression, Qing Lin readily agreed.

After receiving Qing Lin's reply, Lin Ming didn't delay and immediately pulled Qing Lin outside.

As Lin Ming reached the doorway, he suddenly stopped and took out a bag of Gold Coin from his Storage Ring, tossing it onto the table in the room.

After placing the Gold Coin, Lin Ming led Qing Lin to the entrance of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. He glanced at the guards and said, "One of you go and inform your leader that this mission is over. Tell them to come back immediately and not to look for us anymore. As for the final payment, it's on the table in my room."

After saying that, Lin Ming carried Qing Lin and soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards the human inland.

Seeing purple Crystal Wings appear on Lin Ming's back before he soared into the sky and flew away, the guards were stunned. After a long while, they stammered, "Battle... Dou Qi Wings! Battle... Dou Wang! Young Master Lin is Dou Wang!"

"Didn't Young Master Lin just tell us to inform the captain that we no longer need to search and that the mission is over?" After a long while, one of the guards, who had come to their senses, asked.

"Hmm... it seems so!" the others said uncertainly after thinking for a moment.

A moment later, one of the guards left his post and ran eastward.
