In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 156 High Commission Mission

Xiao Qing ran all the way to the edge of the training ground.

Then they saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King fast asleep under a shed that was as big as a house.

Just as they were about to step forward, they suddenly saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King sneeze twice.

"Achoo! Which dog... is eyeing me?"

Originally, it wanted to directly curse that bastard.

But then I thought, what if it's that unreasonable human?

If what I said today reaches his ears, won't I suffer another round of the same old torment?

Therefore, they promptly changed their tune.

After regaining her senses, she saw Xiaoqing standing blankly in the corridor not far away.

Curious, I asked.

"Little Qing, what brings you to me?"

"Uncle Lion, it's like this."

Xiao Qing quickly told him about Xiao Ran's trip to the desert.

I thought that after I said that, the Amethyst Winged Lion King would be very surprised or worried.

To everyone's surprise, the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King rolled his eyes and said with delight.

"Haha, that's wonderful!"

Then he stretched out his limbs, fell straight to the side, and closed his eyes.

Xiaoqing burst into tears and rushed forward.

He shook the face and beard of the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King vigorously.

"Uncle Lion, wake up! Wake up! Young Master is in danger!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King, helplessly pulled by the little girl's strength, could only say...

"Don't worry, little Qing, that human is far more powerful than you imagine."

"Since he's going there, there's definitely no safety issue. Instead of worrying about him, we should worry about that Medusa Queen."

Xiaoqing was slightly taken aback.

"Really?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King curled its lip.

"And what do you think? Otherwise, why would a noble level six magical beast like myself follow him all the way to the Tagor Desert, thousands of miles away, to eat sand?"

"But……"

Seeing the worried look on Xiao Qingyi's face, the Amethyst Winged Lion King shook its head and said...

Don't worry.

"That human will be fine. You just need to focus on your cultivation, and he'll come back when he's had enough fun outside."

"If you only have the strength of a second-level fighter by then, it might anger him."

"I might even leave you here and not take you with me when I leave!"

Upon hearing the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King say this, Xiaoqing's pretty face immediately tensed up in surprise.

He quickly asked,

"What should I do then?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King chuckled and said,

"Just focus on your cultivation. Try to reach the third level of Dou Zhe before he returns. Once that happens, no matter where he goes, won't he take you, his gifted little maid, with him?"

Xiaoqing grinned.

Then he said to the Amethyst Winged Lion King,

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Lion. I'll head back to cultivate now."

"Okay, I got it. Stop worrying about things unnecessarily all the time."

"Even if I die, humanity will not!"

The Purple-Gold Winged Lion King gave another piece of advice.

"Okay, I understand!" Xiaoqing nodded. Then she turned and left.

The Purple-Gold Winged Lion King yawned widely and remarked with considerable emotion,

"Ah, these days of eating and sleeping are much better than when I was in the Monster Mountain Range. So comfortable."

"Medusa is already a Dou Zong (Battle Master) level cultivator. Wouldn't it be suicide for me to go? If those humans die, I won't survive either, so what's the rush?"

"The most important thing about being a lion is to enjoy life!"

He then turned his head to one side and fell into a deep sleep.

……

the next day.

Xiao Yan and the brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li began to spar and compete in the dance practice area.

Although Yao Lao already had a plan for Xiao Yan to find the next strange fire.

However, Xiao Yan felt that he should never give up until the very last moment.

He has to wait for Xiao Ran to return, otherwise this will become a mental obstacle on his path of cultivation, since Brother Ran went there for his strange fire.

Furthermore, who knows, once Brother Ran returns, I might finally obtain the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame that I've been dreaming of?

If I were to suddenly leave and miss out, wouldn't it be a great pity and a painful loss?

The key issue was the 2000 million gold coin debt he had promised, which pained him greatly, and he was unwilling to let it all go to waste.

Xiao Yan can do without the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, but he will definitely take back the 2000 million gold coins when Ran-ge returns.

Therefore, Xiao Yan didn't want to do a losing business.

Xiaoqing hid in her room and diligently practiced her cultivation.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was still fast asleep by the training ground, looking so beautiful that bubbles were starting to bubble from its nose.

Not far from the base of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group,

Inside a luxurious private room on the top floor of an inn.

An old man dressed in a brown robe, with a badge bearing the character "墨" (Mo) on his chest,

She looked at the slightly taller man with a cold and arrogant gaze.

"Where is the target? Has it been confirmed?"

The tall man nodded repeatedly and said...

"Second Elder, please rest assured, the item is currently in the training ground of this small Desert Iron Mercenary Group."

"If it were up to your strength, you would be able to detect it simply by entering it."

The Second Elder nodded solemnly.

"Okay, I'll go check it out in a bit."

"You've all worked hard this time. I, the elder, will report your achievements to the resistance later!"

"Thank you very much, Second Elder, I am deeply grateful!" The tall man nodded repeatedly, trying to please the woman.

……

Around noon,

The Desert Iron Mercenary Group received a mission with a very high bounty.

Escort an important item to the Desert City.

One of the conditions is that at least one hundred people are required to escort them.

They also informed the Mo Tie Mercenary Group in advance that the danger was uncertain, but that they would receive a reward of 200,000 gold coins upon completion of the mission.

The journey from Shimo City to Mo City, without stopping, only took two or three days.

Coupled with the high commission, both Xiao Ding and Xiao Li suspected something was amiss.

However, Xiao Yan persuaded his elder brothers to accept the mission.

Inside the main hall of the mercenary group.

The three brothers, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and Xiao Ran, were discussing something in a loud voice.

Xiao Ding frowned and said,

"There's an unwritten rule in the mercenary world: the higher the commission, the greater the chance of death."

"My mercenary group isn't short of gold coins right now, so I think..."

Xiao Li interrupted Xiao Ding.

"Big brother, I think Xiao Yanzi is right. We should take on this mission."

Seeing his elder brother cast a questioning glance his way, Xiao Li slowly spoke.

"Brother, our Mo Tie Mercenary Group was forged in blood and fire. Although we haven't lacked gold coins in recent years, what great development can we expect if we forget our own abilities?"

"Therefore, I think we should take on this task, not only for the reward of 200,000 gold coins, but more importantly, because Xiao Yanzi has already analyzed the risks."

Xiao Ding pondered for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yan and asked,

"What do you think, Xiao Yanzi?"

Xiao Yan frowned and nodded, then said,

"Eldest brother, I agree with second brother's thoughts and opinions."
