The End? Queen Medusa Seemed to Have Been Reborn Too!

In the spacious room, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian sat together, while Qing Lin carefully served two cups of tea and then stood obediently behind Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was somewhat helpless about this.

After he returned, he specifically asked about it.

Although Qing Lin looks twelve or thirteen years old, she is actually only eight years old this year.

But at eight years old, Qing Lin's figure was already almost the same as Xiao Yi Xian's, and she even looked more mature than Xiao Yi Xian with her swaying waist when she walked.

Xiao Yi Xian: Can she really be eight years old?

Perhaps because she had always had a difficult life, Little Qing Lin was so sensible that it was heartbreaking, and she took the initiative to become their personal maid.

When they told her not to do anything, she looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian with pitiful eyes and tears in her eyes. Neither of them were heartless, and they couldn't bear her pitiful little eyes, so they let her be.

In the little girl's eyes, this was the only way she could repay her two benefactors.

Xiao Yan reached out and used his Sucking Palm to grab a chair, placing it aside.

"Qing Lin, sit down. I have something I'd like to ask you."

As Xiao Yan spoke, he took out the map he had obtained from Hai Bodong from his Storage Ring, spread it out, and placed it on the table.

Seeing that Young Master Yan looked quite serious, clearly he had something important to say, Qing Lin quickly sat down, her gaze already fixed on the map.

"This is a map I got. There's a chance I can find the Heavenly Flames I need at this flame mark. However, I'm not familiar with the terrain around Shi Mo City, so... I can't find the exact location of the flame mark. Qing Lin, do you know this area well?"

Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, Qing Lin had already glanced through the map and said with some surprise:

"What a detailed map! Maps drawn by the map shop in Shi Mo City would never be this detailed. But it's strange, the location of Shi Mo City isn't marked here."

"Yes, this map is actually from a long time ago. Shi Mo City was built less than twenty years ago. The person who gave me this map probably hadn't even built Shi Mo City yet when they drew it."

Xiao Yan nodded and said.

"This place with the flame symbol should be in the eastern part of Shi Mo City, right? Young Master, there does seem to be something strange there."

After thinking carefully for a while, Qing Lin said in a deep voice.

This is troublesome; it seems Queen Medusa is also...

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What exactly happened? Could you explain in detail?"

Xiao Yi Xian also looked at Qing Lin with some curiosity.

This seemingly delicate little girl actually possesses such abilities?

Qing Lin felt a little nervous under the gazes of Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian, and stammered:

"I'm not sure if my senses were accurate, but about a month ago, I did sense some unusual activity in the southeastern part of Shi Mo City."

Seeing Xiao Yan nod at her, Qing Lin mustered her courage and continued:

"A month ago, I sensed an extremely powerful aura outside Shi Mo City. This aura... was somewhat similar to the bloodline within me. And in the face of that aura, even the strongest person in Shi Mo City was far less powerful than the owner of that aura."

I can still vaguely sense that she seemed to have stayed there overnight, during which the energy in the east was extremely violent, and I also know that she seemed to have been injured when she left..."

Listening to Qing Lin's story, Xiao Yan let out a soft breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice:

"Can you pinpoint exactly where she stayed?"

"I should be able to. Although more than a month has passed, the residual aura she left behind is too strong. I... I should be able to find that place by relying on the trace of blood in my body."

When the topic of that bloodline came up, Qing Lin's face clearly darkened, but she still forced a smile as she spoke.

"Girl, having Snake-Person Bloodline is nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, isn't it precisely because of your Snake-Person Bloodline that you can sense certain anomalies, which can also help me?"

Seeing Qing Lin's self-conscious expression, Xiao Yan couldn't bear it. He reached out and gently patted Qing Lin's head, offering words of comfort.

"Well, young master, are you going now? Qing Lin can leave at any time."

Qing Lin felt the warm, large hand on her head, and felt a warm sensation all over her body, inside and out. She couldn't help but squint her eyes, and her expression relaxed a lot.

"Okay, let's go over there now and check out the situation."

Xiao Yan smiled, then stood up and walked outside with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.

The vast desert is ravaged by yellow sand.

"Qing Lin, are you sure we're here?"

Xiao Yan glanced at the flat desert in front of him. The terrain here was completely unremarkable in the desert, with no features that could attract attention.

"Young Master, I'm sure!"

Qing Lin nodded, her expression very serious.

Since Qing Lin said so, then it must be correct.

Xiao Yi Xian didn't offer any opinion; she wasn't particularly skilled in this area, but she was quite confident in her ability to kill by poison.

Behind the three were Xue Lan, Dan Zai, and the other members of the Storm Mercenary Squad.

Mercenaries are simply people who go on missions to earn commissions, and what Xiao Yan has in abundance is money.

A savior and a hefty commission were enough to get this mercenary team to work for Xiao Yan.

Since the task involves probing underground passages, such dirty and tiring work should be left to earth-attribute mercenaries with innate Earth-Wood Sacred Body.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, it doesn't look like there's anything here..."

Xue Lan glanced around and said with some confusion.

"If it's not up there, it's probably underground. Have the guys search the area and see if there are any hidden passages."

Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

"Yes, the team does have a few skilled terrain scouts. I'll let them give it a try!"

Xue Lan nodded upon hearing this, agreeing without any objection.

After all, compared to the missions of the Mercenary Guild, Mr. Xiao Yan's mission was much simpler, and the reward was indeed very generous. So, they would just do whatever their employer said.

"Finding a passage is a minor matter... but we're not far from Shi Mo City, and our people are conducting such a high-profile exploration that I'm afraid other mercenary groups in Shi Mo City will notice."

Nights in the Tager Desert are very short. If we only work at night, it will not only consume a lot of time, but we might also lose some important locations due to the darkness..."

Immediately afterwards, Xue Lan said with some concern.

"Go ahead and send someone to investigate. The commission will be settled daily. If there are any problems, let me know and I'll handle it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan waved his hand dismissively.

"All right."

Seeing Xiao Yan's confidence, Xue Lan nodded and then called on the mercenaries in her team to begin scouting the terrain.
