Under the scorching sun, Mo Tang walked for nearly two hours.
Seeing that the scorching sun that was originally above his head had begun to set in the west, Mo Tang tugged at his cloak and prepared to find a place nearby to spend the night.
It's not that he deliberately wanted to abuse himself, but acting in such a harsh environment is also a kind of spiritual practice.
When the daytime heat dissipates, the temperature in the desert drops rapidly.
Don't think that during the day, the entire desert is nothing but endless yellow sand, and it becomes a real forbidden place for life...
But at night, countless monsters and poisonous insects living in the dark will appear and devour passers-by.
Most mercenaries living in the desert would not easily spend the night in the desert, unless they were following an experienced mercenary team.
Crackling.
The dry wood crackled in the flames.
Mo Tang was dressed in a black robe, even his entire face was hidden in the darkness.
At the Douling level, the cold and heat of the outside world have little effect on them. However, facing the ubiquitous yellow sand in the desert, if you don't want to be covered in sand, you still have to wrap yourself up tightly.
Rustle...
A tiny voice reached Mo Tang's ears.
Turning my head slightly, I saw a palm-sized black scorpion crawling quickly towards the fire from the darkness with its tail raised.
"Desert Black Scorpion, first-level magical beast, extremely poisonous!"
In an instant, Mo Tang recognized the true face of the black scorpion.
This is considered the smallest scorpion-type magical beast in the desert. Ordinary magical beasts, even those of the first level, are the size of an adult.
But don't be fooled by their small size, they are the biggest threat!
This kind of thing likes to take advantage of the night to sneak attack those mercenary teams camping in the desert...
Because of its small size, it is not easy to be spotted, and it is also very easy to hide from the eyes of the night watchmen. Therefore, many mercenaries are poisoned to death by this little thing in their sleep every year. It is the real death god of the desert!
Unfortunately, this time, the target of this desert black scorpion is Mo Tang...
Swoosh!
With a flick of his finger, a wind blade flew out from Mo Tang's fingertips and instantly cut off the black scorpion's raised tail...
Ji!
The suddenly attacked desert black scorpion let out a painful hiss, and then its eight scorpion legs quickly dug up the surrounding yellow sand, preparing to dig a hole and escape.
But before it could completely bury its body in the sand, the second wind blade arrived and directly cut off the scorpion's head...
The cut was so smooth that not even green blood flowed out.
After getting rid of this sneaky desert black scorpion, Mo Tang directly took out its most precious scorpion tail needle and venom gland.
The magic core in the body of this desert black scorpion is only the size of a grain of rice and is worthless. The most valuable parts are the scorpion's tail needle and venom gland.
"Although the Desert Black Scorpion is only a first-level magical beast, it is extremely poisonous. If I give this venom gland to Little Medical Fairy, I think that girl will definitely be happy..."
Thinking of the Little Medical Fairy, Mo Tang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
By this time, I guess this girl has already left Qingshan Town...
Although she has just broken through to the level of Fighter, she has a flying magical pet, a blue eagle, and she herself has already refined the flying fighting skill Eagle Wings. Even if there is danger, she can easily escape, so there is no need to worry too much about her safety.
Leaning on the sandstone behind him, Mo Tang looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky...
Little Medical Fairy... Yun Yun... Nalan Yanran... Mo Linglin...
Different faces flashed through his mind, and finally disappeared...
Just like that, I fell asleep unknowingly.
…
…
The next morning, Mo Tang woke up when it was just getting light and started on his way again.
When the sun was at its highest point in the sky, the outline of a huge city appeared in front of Mo Tang.
After entering the city in front of him, according to his memory, Mo Tang went directly to the south of the city to look for the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.
After turning a few streets, a courtyard that was almost as large as the manor where he lived in Black Rock City appeared in Mo Tang's sight.
Above the courtyard, a flag fluttered in the wind. The words "Motie Mercenary Group" were painted on it, faintly revealing a strong and iron-blooded aura.
At the gate of the compound, several burly men were standing upright with weapons in their hands, looking sharply back and forth at the passers-by outside the gate.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Judging from the faint smell of blood emanating from their bodies, these are real iron-blooded men who have survived life on the edge of a knife. Their fighting power is much stronger than that of rookies at the same level.
Standing at the door, Mo Tang said directly to the mercenaries guarding the door: "Tell your captain that there is a business opportunity..."
After hearing what Mo Tang said, the originally vigilant man's expression changed instantly, and then he immediately said respectfully: "Please wait a moment!"
As a mercenary group, you naturally have to be respectful to your guests.
After waiting for less than five minutes, the big man who had just left came back again...
"Dear guest, please follow me. The leader is already waiting in the hall!"
Arriving at the hall, Mo Tang happened to see two young men sitting at the top who looked somewhat similar. Moreover, the other party also looked somewhat similar to Xiao Yan...
They are indeed brothers!
"Haha, I am Xiao Ding, the leader of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, and this is Xiao Li, the second leader. Please take a seat, guests!"
The older young man had a gentle smile on his face and bowed to Mo Tang.
However, compared to the gentle and polite Xiao Ding, the second captain Xiao Li seemed a little indifferent. He just nodded slightly and stopped talking.
After instructing the maid to serve tea, Xiao Ding asked with a smile: "I wonder what mission the guest has with my Motie Mercenary Group?
My Motie Mercenary Group is one of the top three mercenary groups in the entire Shimo City. We have fair prices and treat people with sincerity, which is recognized throughout the entire Shimo City."
Mo Tang said calmly: "I came here to ask you to explore something for me in the desert..."
"What is it?"
"Sand Mandala!"
Hearing this name, Xiao Ding's heart trembled slightly, and the smile on his face slowly turned serious.
"Sand Mandala?"
"Did you know, sir, that this Sand Mandragora only grows deep in the Tagor Desert, which is the territory of the Snake People!"
Mo Tang chuckled and said, "Of course I know that this Sand Mandragora grows deep in the desert. You just need to answer me whether you, Mo Tie, dare to accept this mission."
After hearing what Mo Tang said, the Xiao brothers frowned.
With Mo Tie's current strength, such a mission is still very dangerous.
However, since they are in this business, it is a business that is on the edge of a knife. If they retreat when faced with danger, they might as well go home and inherit the family business instead of being mercenaries!
