Mo Clan Attacks

"Let's go up."

Glancing at the vast underground world of lava before him, Lin Feng spoke with a trace of helplessness in his voice.

Qing Lin also knew that if even a Dou Ling-level Fire Spirit Snake could not obtain the Heavenly Flames, then she and Lin Feng had even less chance.

She nodded somewhat dejectedly, then quickly burrowed into Lin Feng's arms.

Holding Qing Lin a little tighter, Lin Feng leaped forcefully and landed precisely back in the passage.

Then, he quickly sprinted toward the surface.

After reaching the surface, Lin Feng carefully concealed the entrance to the cave.

Afterward, he had Qing Lin dispatch two Dou Master-level magical beasts to guard it from within.

After finishing everything, he did not return to Stone Desert City. Instead, led by the magical beasts, he headed for an oasis.

If they stayed there for half a month and the Mo Clan still made no move,

then it would mean the Mo Clan had not discovered Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. At that point, he could return to the city without worry.

If the Mo Clan came to seize Qing Lin, killing Mo Clan members in the desert would not be so easily discovered by others.

"Young Master, we've been living here for nearly ten days. Could it be that the Mo Clan can't discover my Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils? Should we let those horned vipers return to their own tribe first?"

At an oasis in the Tagor Desert, Qing Lin looked at Lin Feng, who was lying asleep on a wooden lounge chair by the lake, and asked.

A few days ago, Lin Feng and Qing Lin had brought out most of the horned vipers above the first tier from the Desert Horned Viper tribe.

Those magical beasts had remained here with them all this time, which had made the Horned Viper King somewhat concerned about the safety of its habitat.

Hearing Qing Lin's words, Lin Feng pondered for a moment before deciding to wait a little longer.

He then turned over and casually replied, "Let them go back in another five days. Besides, didn't I use pills a few days ago to raise two peak second-tier Desert Horned Vipers to the third tier? With them there, protecting the habitat should be more than enough."

At the mention of pills, Lin Feng could not help rubbing the Storage Ring on his hand.

These past few days, he had not only broken through to become a two-star Dou Master.

He had also gathered quite a few medicinal herbs through the efforts of the many magical beasts.

However, he had not treated those magical beasts poorly either. After being fed all kinds of pills in turn, they had all improved greatly.

Especially some first-tier magical beasts, which had already come very close to reaching the second tier with the help of his large supply of Qi Breaking Pills.

But he only dared to pile them up so aggressively because they were magical beasts.

If he dared feed humans like that, they would probably have been burst apart by the medicinal power long ago, blown to pieces.

As for whether it would damage their foundations, there was no need to consider that either.

After all, these low-tier magical beasts could generally only reach the second tier. What foundation could they possibly speak of?

"Mmm, what Young Master says makes sense."

Since Lin Feng had put it that way, Qing Lin naturally did not object and voiced her agreement.

Then she turned around and began soothing the restless Horned Viper King.

Just then, Little Rock—the second-tier Desert Rock Snake Qing Lin had initially controlled—swiftly streaked across the grass and quickly reached Qing Lin's side, letting out a series of anxious hisses.

"Young Master, something's wrong!"

After communicating for a short while, Qing Lin hurriedly ran to Lin Feng's side and shook him awake.

She said urgently, "Young Master, Little Rock says that since this morning, a large group of people suddenly appeared not far from here. They're currently searching everywhere for something."

"Hmm?"

Awakened so abruptly by Qing Lin's shaking, Lin Feng sat up in a daze.

However, once he heard Qing Lin's report, his expression instantly turned cold.

"So the Mo Clan has come after all."

Muttering softly, he turned to Qing Lin, who looked extremely nervous, and comforted her, "It's all right. We've made so many preparations during this time. There won't be any problems."

"As long as Young Master is here, Qing Lin isn't afraid."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Qing Lin raised her little hand, clenched it into a fist, and spoke firmly.

With a faint smile on his face, he stroked the little girl's hair before saying, "Qing Lin, gather all the magical beasts together. First, give them all the special Antidote Pills I made. Otherwise, when we use the poison powder later, it'll be easy to accidentally hurt them."

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin hurriedly released all three magical beasts under her control.

Then, following a hiss from the Horned Viper King, the nearby Desert Horned Vipers all gathered over as well.

After Lin Feng had fed them all Antidote Pills, he had Qing Lin command them to act according to their previous plan.

On the other side, a gray-haired old man in luxurious robes led a group of several dozen people as they searched all around the desert.

Aside from the two people behind the old man, all the others were mercenaries dressed in uniform attire.

It appeared that they all belonged to the same mercenary group.

"First Elder, we've already been searching for three days. Could it be—"

A man who appeared to be the leader of the mercenary group walked up to the old man in luxurious robes and asked cautiously.

"You doubt me?"

Upon hearing Luo Bu's words, Mo Cheng's eyes darkened at once. He looked at him coldly and spoke in an apparently calm tone.

After arriving in Stone Desert City and making numerous inquiries, he had finally confirmed the information regarding Qing Lin.

At the time, he had thought the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils would fall into his hands easily.

Yet he had not expected that little girl to have entered the Tagor Desert more than half a month ago.

The news had left him, who had been full of joy, utterly disappointed.

Coupled with the fact that he had searched for days without results, his mood was already extremely foul. If Luo Bu dared defy him again,

he would not mind killing Luo Bu and leading the rest of the mercenary group to continue the search himself.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. It's just that the environment here is so terrible. I'm worried the First Elder might exhaust himself."

Feeling Mo Cheng's killing intent, Luo Bu shuddered in fright and hurriedly fawned over him.

"Hmph. Search properly. Once my business is done, I guarantee that your Sand Mercenary Group will unify Stone Desert City. But if you dare play any tricks, you know what your fate will be!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Mo Cheng snorted coldly.

"Yes, yes. It is our honor to serve the First Elder. I'll go urge them on right away."

Hearing Mo Cheng's promise, Luo Bu's eyes were instantly filled with greed as he spoke excitedly.

After saying that, Luo Bu hurried toward the front and began urging his mercenaries onward.

"First Elder, are we really going to help him unify Stone Desert City?"

After Luo Bu left, Mo Cheng's trusted subordinate, Mo Ran—the one who had previously reported the news to Mo Cheng—asked.

"Of course we'll help them, but we'll help them descend into hell!"

As he spoke, a cruel smile appeared on Mo Cheng's lips.

He had not even informed the Mo Clan's patriarch, merely making up an excuse.

He claimed that the Snake People Tribe had damaged the businesses here and came under the pretext of protecting those businesses.

Once they found the target, how could he possibly allow those mercenaries who had seen the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to live?

"This subordinate understands."

Mo Ran also chuckled, then slowed his pace and followed behind Mo Cheng.

"Ah!"

After they advanced some distance, a scream suddenly rang out, lingering in the air nearby for a long time.

Then, like falling dominoes, the mercenaries' screams came one after another.
