Hearing the sound of horse hooves coming from outside, Xiao Fan and Liu Yun looked at each other and carefully hid among the trees.
When we are not sure whether the people outside are friends or foes, the best situation is to leave here just after rescuing people. However, the wounds on Liu Yun's body are not suitable for transfer now, so we stay here.
The noisy horseshoes soon stopped, and then many Mercenarys poured in from outside.
Xiao Fan looked out quietly from the gaps in the grass. "The clothes of these people don't look like bandits in the desert, do they?" Liu Yun could only lie down because of the wound on his abdomen, so he could only Xiao Fan quietly look at the people coming in.
With such uniform clothing and strict command, there is no way he would become a bandit in the desert.
When these people completely appeared in Xiao Fan's field of vision, Liu Yun struggled and said, "I don't know whether those who came back are the leader and the others or those Sand Thieves gangsters."
Xiao Fan looked at the crowd and saw that the leader was a sturdy man holding a big knife. He had a strong build and was a head taller than the others. The clothes on his body were tightly attached to his muscles. The strong muscles of his upper body made the clothes bulge out, making it look very oppressive.
The muscular man looked at the corpses on the ground, with grief and anger on his face, and said to Mercenary around him, "Everyone, check around to see if there are any brothers who can be saved."
Everyone looked around in the crowd, and one of them, Mercenary, with a sharp face, ran towards the muscular man and said, "Captain, there is no trace of the fourth brother."
At this moment, Liu Yun next to Xiao Fan said excitedly to Xiao Fan: "It's confirmed, it is indeed the boss and the others. Please help me, brother Xiao."
After hearing what Liu Yun said, Xiao Fan deliberately made some noise outside.
"Who?"
Although many Mercenary are still searching around Lake, when Xiao Fan made some movement, the muscular man immediately noticed it, which made Xiao Fan couldn't help but admire his keen observation.
After hearing the muscular man's words, many Mercenary also faced the direction of Xiao Fan and took out their weapons.
What's more, he disappeared into the jungle, and the bow and arrow in his hand were quietly placed on the bowstring.
Xiao Fan looked at their serious faces, stood up from the grass, pointed to his side, and said to them, "Your fourth brother is here."
Liu Yun's weak voice also sounded at the right time. "Brother, it was this little brother who saved me."
After hearing Liu Yun's words, the muscular man's serious face relaxed and winked at the Mercenary around him. Most of the Mercenary also continued to search for any remaining Sand Thieves around them. The muscular man took a small number of Mercenary and walked towards the direction of Xiao Fan.
In order to make it easier for them to see the situation clearly, Xiao Fan also took the initiative to kick away the grass in front of the two of them that blocked their vision.
Seeing Xiao Fan's movements and Liu Yun lying next to him, the muscular man's expression relaxed obviously and he raised his hand. Xiao Fan felt that some of the eyes in the surrounding dense forest also disappeared.
The muscular man walked up to Xiao Fan and asked Mercenary dressed as a doctor to check Liu Yun's wounds first. Then he turned to Xiao Fan and said, "I am Sun Wu, the leader of Chasing Wind Mercenary Group. Thank you young hero for saving my fourth brother. I don't know how to call him."
Xiao Fan hugged his fists towards Sun Wu and said with a smile, "Mo Shang, I just happened to meet him and helped him casually."
Sun Wu on the ground couldn't get up, so he could only lie on the ground with his eyes open and said, "Brother, if it weren't for Brother Mo, I'm afraid my life would be gone."
Healer, who was checking Liu Yun's injuries on the ground, stood up and saluted Xiao Fan.
"Hou San, they all call me Lao San. I am the third leader of Chasing Wind Mercenary Group and also Healer. Thank you, Brother Mo, for treating my fourth brother." He turned to Sun Wu and said, "Brother Mo treated Lao Si's wound very promptly. Without him, Lao Si would probably be dead."
Sun Wu heard the two people's words and sat down cross-legged next to Liu Yun.
Sun Wu said politely to Xiao Fan: "Brother Mo, you are my fourth brother. Unfortunately, we don't have anything to thank you for now. The goods we transport are all entrusted. If anything happens in the future, please send someone to notify Sand City Chasing Wind Mercenary Group. I will do my best next time."
After hearing Sun Wu's words, Xiao Fan knew the origin of Chasing Wind Mercenary Group.
Sand City is also a big city around the Jia Ma Empire Tagor Desert. It used to be the two big cities around Tagor and Desert City. Later, for some unknown reason, the influence of Sand City gradually declined. Desert City has also become the largest city around Tagor.
Xiao Fan cupped his hand and said with a smile, "Saving someone's life is not a threat to repay a favor, but I did make Brother Sun a friend. Under the conversation between Xiao Fan and Sun Wu, the atmosphere was pleasant.
Liu Yun on the side took advantage of the opportunity of Xiao Fan and Sun Wu to talk and asked about the battle situation. Xiao Fan on the side also looked at Sun Wu curiously.
When it came to the ambush, Sun Wu's face darkened again. With fierce anger in his eyes, he said, "I estimate that these Sand Thieves were sent by the Yang Family Even the second child couldn't hold on this time." Speaking of this, Sun Wu continued, "If we hadn't been lucky enough to meet Mr. Lion King just now, we probably wouldn't have been able to come back."
After hearing Sun Wu's words, Liu Yun's fist hit the open space beside him.
Xiao Fan looked at Sun Wu curiously and asked, "Did Brother Sun just say Lion King?" Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Liu Yun's attention was also distracted.
Xiao Fan remembers that Lion King Yan Shi's appearance in Battle Through the Heavens is quite small. It seems that only the offensive Snake-People Tribe has been described later when he fought against Mu Chen.
Sun Wu smiled as if he had survived the disaster, and said to Xiao Fan, "Yes, it is Lion King who is known as one of the Ten Great Experts of the Jia Ma Empires. Those Sand Thievess were well ambush, and we fought to our death to escape from this green patch of land. Not long after escaping in the desert, we were caught up by them. I originally thought we were doomed, but later we got help from Lion King."
"We, Chasing Wind Mercenary Group, have some friendship with the Yan Family, where Lion King is located. Maybe because of this, Lion King saved our lives!"
Xiao Fan matched Sun Wu's words, and said with an envious expression, "I don't know when I will reach their level." Then he asked quietly, "Did Lion King enter Tagor alone?"
Sun Wu shook his head, "Lion King is accompanied by his friend Wind Walker, as well as two other people whose identities are unknown. Maybe they entered the desert for something important."
Xiao Fan nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions. He would be wrong if he said too much. He already got the answer he wanted.
Apparently, Sun Wu and his party met Lion King and others in the desert when they were surrounded by Sand Thieves. The other two people should be Pill King Gu He, and Yun Zhi, no, it should be said Yun Yun.
Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not too late. After all, the oasis he was in was already close to the center of Tagor Desert. Going further in, it was basically Snake-People Tribe's territory.
Then everyone lit a bonfire and rested on the spot. With Chasing Wind Mercenary Group's people there, Xiao Fan didn't have to worry about danger. He leaned against the big tree behind him and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The time soon came to the next day, Xiao Fan opened his eyes and stretched out. Although Chasing Wind Mercenary Group was on guard, Xiao Fan couldn't fall asleep completely, but compared to the days when he was practicing alone in the desert, it was a rare free time recently.
Xiao Fan looked at Chasing Wind Mercenary Group and his group who were cleaning up their tracks, and said hello to Sun Wu.
Sun Wu had someone clear out an idle carriage, and then used stretchers to carry Liu Yun and some other wounded people onto the carriage. He looked at Xiao Fan and said, "Brother Mo, let's say goodbye. If you need anything in the future, just come to Sand City and come to us."
Xiao Fan cupped his hands towards Sun Wu and said with a smile, "Brother Sun, I can do it. I entered the desert just to practice. Now I have to continue my practice. Otherwise, I would like to experience it with you, Brother Sun."
After saying goodbye, Xiao Fan checked his affairs and the water source he carried, which was enough to last him to the next oasis. Then he took out Hai Bodong's map, carefully identified the direction, and stepped into the desert again.
It has to be said that although Hai Bodong's map is a bit expensive, some of the oases marked on it are unknown to ordinary people, just like some oases in the Snake-People Tribe's territory. Ordinary Mercenary have no chance to come here, so there is no way to explore them.
Xiao Fan walked for two full days before arriving at another oasis. This place was not far from Holy City of the Snake-People Tribe, which is where Medusa survived the tribulation. Xiao Fan estimated his speed and should be able to get there by sunset tomorrow.
When we got near the oasis, Xiao Fan felt obvious signs of battle.
"No, come again?"
Xiao Fan curled his lips, and then realized something was wrong.
"Looking at the traces of the battle, this should be the strong man Snake-People Tribe!"
Xiao Fan thought about it carefully. When Medusa was going through the tribulation, was there any other big battle? Then he suddenly remembered something. He said in shock, "Isn't this Xiao Yan meeting Yue Mei?"
If true, that would be interesting. After all, if I remember correctly, Xiao Yan seems to have fallen into the hands of Yue Mei.
Looking at the oasis in front of him, Xiao Fan hid his figure and carefully identified the traces in the grass.
Not long after, Xiao Fan found the place where the battle broke out between the two sides.
"Bone Spirit Cold Flame's breath."
That's right, it seems that Xiao Yan met Yue Mei in the oasis. Xiao Fan remember, it was because Xiao Yan was caught peeking at Yue Mei taking a bath!
And the reason why Yue Mei discovered Xiao Yan was because of the snakes hidden in the oasis. But now Yue Mei has gone to hunt down Xiao Yan, and this is a safe place for the time being. Xiao Fan took a little rest and did not rest in the oasis.
After all, although Yue Mei went to chase Xiao Yan, what if he comes back again?
