"This is really beyond my expectation. The fourth-level magical beast Fantasy Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast is actually a human boy of only sixteen years old."
When Xiao Jue woke up the next morning, a white and tender jade foot stepped on his chest. A feminine breath appeared on Queen Medusa's cheek, and her numb voice was faintly filled with murderous intent: "You actually dare to raise my evolved body as a pet. This kind of courage is the first time I have seen in all these years."
Xiao Jue teased: "Then, Queen, will you call me master? The purple crystal pill that you took before is a seventh-grade peak pill. The next step is an eighth-grade pill. Don't you want to become a Dou Zun or even a Dou Sheng?"
When saying this, Xiao Jue was not very scared. Although Queen Medusa has the strength of a Dou Zong after her evolution, she has not yet recovered. At most, she can only exert the strength of a Dou Wang, and she cannot even take action for too long.
"You're far from being a Dou Ling strong enough to become my master." Queen Medusa's narrow eyes curved into a dangerous arc. The last words were drawn out slightly, the tingling tone that moved Xiao Jue. She had intended to attack
Xiao Jue, but before she could strike, Yao Lao suppressed and sealed her Dou Qi. Then, unknowingly, Xiao Jue helped her evolve. Queen Medusa was wary of Xiao Jue.
"But if you can help me reach Dou Zun within three years, then even if I follow you, I'll be fine." A slender jade finger pointed at Xiao Jue. Queen Medusa raised her proud head slightly, smiled softly, and slowly crept down.
Then, a powerful light burst out, and Queen Medusa's body slowly shrank, finally transforming into a colorful snake, lying on Xiao Jue's chest.
Perhaps because of the Amethyst Pill, Queen Medusa didn't harbor much ill will towards Xiao Jue. Although she was wary of Yao Lao's presence, she also saw the potential for her to become stronger in Xiao Jue.
It helped her successfully evolve into the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and become a Dou Zong. After taking that seventh-grade peak elixir, her strength continued to grow.
For a long time afterwards, Queen Medusa would fall into a deep sleep to absorb the power of the Amethyst Pill. Before falling asleep, she forcibly suppressed the soul of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python and met with Xiao Jue.
The colorful snake coiled around Xiao Jue's wrist again. After Xiao Jue tidied himself up a bit, he went to the next room and took Qing Lin with him to find Xiao Yan.
Glancing at the girl beside Xiao Jue with a slightly surprised look, Xiao Yan thought to himself that this bastard Xiao Jue never forgot to show mercy no matter where he went.
Xiao Yan asked, "What should we do now?"
"There are many mercenary groups in Shimo City. Now that you've reached the Grand Fighter Master level, it's natural for you to help your two brothers conquer all of Shimo City's mercenaries."
Xiao Jue took Qing Lin's hand and said, "This is your mission before Yao Lao finishes refining the elixir and returns to Shimo City."
"Alright," Xiao Yan smiled bitterly. It wasn't a good thing. It seemed like the Sand Mercenary Group in Shimo City also had a Grand Fighter Master.
Having refined the sub-fire of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, Xiao Yan was now extremely confident and wanted to test the power of the strange fire to see if it was truly that terrifying.
Afterward, the group went to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li and informed them of the upcoming Motie Mercenary Group's plan to integrate all of Shimo City's mercenary groups. Upon learning of Xiao Yan's Grand Fighter Master breakthrough, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were both shocked and thrilled.
They immediately agreed to Xiao Jue's proposal. After all, with Xiao Jue and Qing Lin around, the other mercenary groups in Shimo City were no match for them.
Xiao Jue was a Dou Ling himself, and Qing Lin controlled a fourth-order two-headed fire spirit snake. The great Dou Masters of Shimo City were no match for them.
However, it was still the three brothers who actually took action, which was a test for Xiao Yan. Xiao Jue brought Qing Lin with him to help protect them.
The mercenary groups in Stone Desert City were no match for Xiao Yan and his team. Even Luo Bu, the Grand Master and leader of the Sand Mercenary Group, was defeated by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, still a second-rank alchemist, had defeated Luo Bu and unified all of Stone Desert City's mercenary groups, fulfilling Xiao Jue's expectations. After
dismissing the lower-ranking fighters from these mercenary groups, Xiao Yan began refining elixirs under Xiao Jue's guidance. He hoped to become a third-rank alchemist before Yao Lao returned, giving him a surprise.
Naturally, all the first- and second-rank elixirs he had refined were given to the newly integrated Desert Iron Mercenary Group, alleviating the resentment felt by those who had been forced into the group.
With a third-rank alchemist as their leader, they were still convinced, but before Xiao Yan could achieve this, something unexpected happened.
"This is terrible! Someone's coming to our door."
A member of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group hurried over to Xiao Jue and said, "A powerful Dou Ling has attacked the Desert Iron Mercenary Group and is demanding Qing Lin by name."
"Huh?" Qing Lin tilted her head in Xiao Jue's arms, confused. She probably didn't know any Dou Ling masters.
With Xiao Jue by her side, Qing Lin wasn't afraid even of Dou Ling enemies.
"Dou Ling?" Xiao Jue raised an eyebrow, quickly thinking of someone. "Let's go, let me see who's so brave."
Holding Qing Lin's hand, Xiao Jue followed the mercenary to the Desert Iron Mercenary Group's training grounds. A group of people, led by Xiao Yan and Luo Bu, were facing off against a white-haired old man.
The old man, dressed in finery, had a cold expression. He watched Xiao Jue and Qing Lin approach, a flicker of excitement on his face. He said, "Boy, hand the girl over to me."
"Oh?" Xiao Jue sized him up. "Who do you think you are? How dare you come and claim my people?"
"You young man, you don't know what's good for you," the old man snorted. "I'm Mo Cheng of the Mo Clan in Yancheng."
He was a renowned figure in the eastern part of the empire. He had once single-handedly annihilated the Black Whirlwind bandit gang
, the most rampant and ferocious in the east. The Black Whirlwind bandits were a formidable force, boasting three Grand Fighters and over a dozen Fighting Masters. Their ferocious nature meant that the empire's repeated attempts to suppress them had yielded few results.
Instead, they suffered heavy casualties, and the bloodbath was a veritable river of blood, earning him the nickname "Mo Zi Mo."
When Mo Cheng was young, he joined the Yunlan Sect, but later left to manage family affairs. However, he was quite clever. Although he had left the Yunlan Sect, he still paid a huge tribute to the sect every year. Whenever there was a happy event among the Yunlan Sect's leaders, he would personally go to congratulate them. He was very smooth and diplomatic.
