"If you've recovered enough, then take me to your mercenary squad's location."
Xiao Tianci smiled slightly, then continued, "I think you wouldn't want to drag this out for too long, would you?"
The man was taken aback. "Sir... are you alone?"
After learning that Xiao Tianci was an alchemist, the man naturally changed how he addressed Xiao Tianci.
After all, being an alchemist was a very prestigious status for people like them.
"What? Is there a problem?" Xiao Tianci nodded naturally.
"If you're alone, I'm afraid I can't take you. There are eight Snake-People Tribe attacking our team, and three of them are at the level of Nine-Star Dou Zhe!"
Upon hearing Xiao Tianci's words, the man immediately became anxious and then quickly spoke up.
He didn't know Xiao Tianci's exact strength, but he did know that Xiao Tianci was an alchemist.
With such a distinguished status, it was naturally impossible for him to risk his life with her.
"Sir, I'd like to trouble you to go to Stone Desert City and inform the mercenary group. The leader and the others will come immediately. Besides, if I go back now, I can hold out for a little longer."
The man pleaded earnestly.
Upon hearing the man's words, Xiao Tianci couldn't help but nod inwardly.
Regardless, the man's explanation was quite conscientious. Although he asked for my help, he didn't drag me into a dangerous situation. On the contrary, he was worried about my safety and didn't even want to take me to their team's location.
However, after hearing about the strength of the Snake-People Tribe, Xiao Tianci shook his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "Alright, enough nonsense. I asked you to take me because I'm confident in my abilities. If I really can't handle things, I'll be the first to leave."
After hearing Xiao Tianci's words, the man took a deep breath and then looked at Xiao Tianci with suspicion.
Xiao Tianci, standing before me, was dressed in pristine white clothes. Even in the desert, despite wearing such thick clothing, not a trace of sweat appeared on his body, and he was riding Green Ox.
All of this made it seem as if the young man was simply visiting the Tager Desert.
For a moment, the man couldn't figure out what kind of strength Xiao Tianci possessed.
The man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
Then he stretched out his hand, pointed to the sand dune, and said, "It's not far over there."
Xiao Tianci glanced at the sand dune, nodded slightly, and then reached out and grabbed the man's arm.
The next moment, without him exerting much effort, Xiao Tianci and the man rushed onto the sand dune at an extremely fast speed.
In fact, there wasn't even a dent left on the ground where Xiao Tianci had just stood.
After climbing the sand dune, Xiao Tianci continued to tap his toes at that moment.
Instantly, the two flew a short distance in a flash, finally stopping atop a towering sand dune.
To be honest, Xiao Tianci had never seen Snake-People before, so he was genuinely curious about what the Snake-People Tribe looked like.
Xiao Tianci glanced at the man beside him, who was completely dumbfounded, and at that moment he let go of the man's arm.
Suddenly, the man seemed to lose all his strength and collapsed limply to the ground.
At that moment, Xiao Tianci took a step forward.
Suddenly, a large group of people came into his view.
In the desert below, a dozen mercenaries stood back to back, weapons in hand.
Around them were eight strangely-looking creatures.
These creatures had human heads and bodies, but their legs were replaced by a giant snake tail.
The snake's tail hissed as it was swung, sending chills down the spines of those who heard it.
"So this is the legendary Snake-People, how strange." Xiao Tianci raised an eyebrow and said with some amazement.
Whether in his previous life or this one, this was the first time he had ever seen such a strange creature; it truly broadened his horizons.
"Sir, those people surrounded by Snake-People are a squad from our Desert Iron Mercenary Group. We originally planned to hunt magical beasts, but we didn't expect to be ambushed by these guys."
Upon hearing Xiao Tianci's words, the man quickly came to his senses and then spoke, his voice filled with much more reverence than before.
After all, from the distance Xiao Tianci had led him just now, he was able to confirm that Xiao Tianci, who didn't look that big, was definitely a hidden master. At the very least, his strength was much higher than he had imagined!
"I see. These guys are really annoying."
Xiao Tianci nodded slightly, then his gaze swept over the ten mercenaries.
Ten mercenaries, eight men and two women.
The eight men among them were naturally not worthy of Xiao Tianci's attention.
His gaze finally settled on a rather slender and graceful figure.
The woman appeared to be around twenty years old, with a pretty and delicate face. However, her slightly upturned eyebrows hinted at a hint of arrogance, much like a cheetah in the desert.
Judging from its appearance, it's not hard to imagine that although this desert flower is quite beautiful, it is covered in thorns.
This woman's attire was quite daring and provocative; her short clothes barely covered her breasts and the area below.
Her sexy, bronze-colored waist, so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, was exposed to everyone's gaze without reservation.
Beneath the short leather skirt, a pair of long, sexy legs were revealed, and Xiao Tianci couldn't help but linger his gaze on those long legs for a couple of seconds.
Such perfect leg shape, even compared to Xiao Yu's, is not inferior.
However, her skin gave Xiao Tianci an exotic charm that Xiao Yu could not match.
At the same time, Xiao Tianci also noticed that among these Snake-People, several burning gazes were constantly sweeping over the woman's slender waist and taut thighs.
Clearly, the woman's beauty and figure had even attracted the Snake-People Tribe.
"Kill them, leave the women!"
At that moment, the leader of the Snake-People suddenly waved his hand.
Then, his triangular pupils couldn't help but sweep over the woman, his voice unusually cold and hoarse.
