Xiao Ding and Xiao Li naturally looked at Qing Lin as well.

Clearly, neither of them knew what Qing Lin was saying.

Suddenly being watched by the three people in the room, Qing Lin became slightly nervous, and a hint of fear appeared on her pretty face.

He then stammered, "I... I don't really know how accurate my senses are. Anyway, about six months ago... Although I've never been to that oasis, I sensed a slight disturbance in its vicinity."

"How did you know? You don't seem to possess that kind of strength, do you?"

After hearing Qing Lin's words, Xiao Ding stroked the teacup with his hand, and then asked with some doubt.

"I... I don't know either."

Hearing Xiao Ding's somewhat doubtful tone, Qing Lin's voice unconsciously softened. Then, she subconsciously moved closer to Xiao Tianci before speaking weakly.

"Six months ago, I sensed an extremely powerful aura outside Stone Desert City. This aura... was somewhat similar to some of the bloodlines within me, but the feeling it gave me was slightly peculiar."

"What's so special about it?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianci and Xiao Ding raised their eyebrows, looked at Qing Lin Qing Lin, and gestured for her to continue.

"That aura gives me a very strange feeling, like it's injured, not in its complete state," Qing Lin said as she pondered, her brows furrowing slightly as she thought. She continued, "However, even injured, in the face of this aura, even the leader of the Sand Mercenary Group is much, much weaker than him."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianci didn't react much, but Xiao Ding and Xiao Li showed slight expressions.

After all, as one of the mercenary groups in Stone Desert City, they naturally knew much more about the Sand Mercenary Group than Xiao Tianci, an outsider.

The leader of the Sand Mercenary Group is a genuine Da Dou Shi. If even he is much weaker than that mysterious aura, then the other party... is probably not a Dou Wang level expert!

Especially considering what Qing Lin said, the opponent's aura was still injured. If he wasn't injured, wouldn't he be surpassing Dou Wang?

Such terrifying strength made their eyes widen in astonishment.

"With such power, Queen Medusa is probably the only one in this Tagor Desert."

Xiao Li took a deep breath and couldn't help but speak.

Such terrifying people actually went to that oasis; if they were to encounter them, there would be no chance of survival!

Thinking of this, both Xiao Ding and Xiao Li couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

It seems I'll have to visit that oasis less often in the future. Even if I do go, I'll have to ask Qing Lin beforehand, and I absolutely mustn't run into Queen Medusa!

"I don't know..." Qing Lin shook her head and said softly, "I can only vaguely sense that half a year ago, she suddenly went to the oasis and was injured. Afterwards, she stayed in that oasis for a long time, as if she was wandering around searching for something."

"Injured... wandering around searching, perhaps even looking for the Red Water Spirit Root to heal his wounds." Xiao Tianci pondered for a moment.

Combining Qing Lin's words with the characteristics of the Red Water Spirit Root, he easily came to this conclusion.

"I wonder if she was ever found in the end." Xiao Tianci pondered for a moment, then continued, "When she finally left, did the feeling you got from her aura change?"

"No... no." Qing Lin shook his head. "Nothing should have changed. However, this place is too far from that oasis, so I can't guarantee how accurate my feeling is."

"However, although half a year has passed, the residual aura she left behind is still too strong. If I could get closer to the oasis, I should be able to rely on the trace of blood in my body to accurately sense her condition at that time."

Qing Lin spoke earnestly.

Although Qing Lin's smile still dimmed somewhat when she spoke of her bloodline, her current performance was far better than when Xiao Tianci first arrived.

"Alright, thank you very much, Qing Lin. Let's go take a look tomorrow." Xiao Tianci nodded with a smile. "Although the Red Water Spirit Root isn't something I absolutely need, it's a rare find in the Tagor Desert. Now that I have this opportunity, I can't miss it. I hope the final result won't disappoint me."

The vast desert is ravaged by yellow sand.

However, the area in front of Xiao Tianci was lush and green.

Forests of trees stand tall on the yellow sand.

And in the middle of this forest, there was actually a lake!

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would hardly believe the wonders of nature.

Deep within the vast Dart Desert, a place considered a no-man's-land, lies a vibrant haven of life.

Xiao Tianci couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of nature; indeed, things always turn into their opposites when they reach an extreme.

Although he hadn't thoroughly investigated, Xiao Tianci already believed it in his heart.

This oasis should be able to nurture a rare treasure of heaven and earth Red Water Spirit Root, which is compatible with both water and fire!

Beside Xiao Tianci, Qing Lin had a bead of sweat on her face, and she was closing her eyes, seemingly carefully examining the atmosphere within this oasis.

Behind Xiao Tianci stood Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, along with dozens of elite members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

At this moment, they were all looking at Qing Lin with suspicion.

After all, these people were all veteran members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, so they were naturally quite familiar with this oasis.

They usually resupply in this oasis when they are on missions.

This oasis is nothing particularly special on a regular basis.

Therefore, they naturally harbored doubts about the claim that it contained extremely rare and extraordinary treasures.

If it really existed, and this oasis is quite popular, wouldn't it have been taken long ago? Why wait until now?

However, Xiao Tianci was the cousin of both Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, and also Third-Tier Alchemist. Naturally, they couldn't doubt Xiao Tianci, so they could only look at Qing Lin with suspicion.

Upon opening her eyes, Qing Lin naturally realized that she had become the center of attention.

Her small body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but reach out and grab Xiao Tianci's clothes.
