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

Chapter 169 Xiao Ran Returns

It is true that the Serpent People revere Queen Medusa, and are even willing to sacrifice their lives for her.

But when they learned that Her Majesty the Queen had found a better, safer, and more powerful home...

Even if I'm extremely reluctant, what can I do?

The snake-people revere the strong.

What they resent are only those weak people who rely on the strong, those who think they are right because they are weak, and those who have someone protecting them.

They will wait for a stronger being to make the judgment for them.

This is what the snake people despise most!

As Xiao Ran headed east, he glanced back and seemed to catch a glimpse of a beautiful red figure.

……

Braving the scorching sun, they flew using their battle aura wings.

Flying three hundred miles consumes a breath.

Even though Xiao Ran's fighting spirit was fire-attribute, he still found the heat somewhat unbearable.

We could only slow down and fly while looking for a shady spot.

What should have been a one-day journey took three days to fly.

Finally, we saw the city rising abruptly from the desert.

It flapped its wings directly and soared from the sky toward Stone Desert City.

The headquarters of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Xiao Yan is relying on his true strength to fight against his second brother, Xiao Li, on the training stage.

They were all passionate young men, their colorful battle auras constantly clashing, especially during their actual combat, where every punch landed with a visceral force.

This drew cheers and applause from many people in the audience.

After exchanging a high five with each other, the two quickly separated.

Xiao Li was about to step forward to fight again when he found Xiao Yan standing there, stunned.

He then put away his moves and asked with concern,

"Xiao Yanzi, what happened? Did your second brother hit you somewhere?"

Hearing Xiao Li's voice, Xiao Yan came back to his senses.

He swallowed hard, shook his head blankly, and tried to suppress the excitement in his heart.

"No, no, Second Brother, I have good news for you."

Xiao Li raised an eyebrow.

"What good news? Look at you."

Xiao Yan could no longer maintain his calm expression. He pointed to the horizon, his voice tinged with excitement.

"Second brother, look! Ran-ge is back!"

Xiao Li hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction Xiao Yan was pointing.

really,

Then a white figure with wings on its back was seen flying rapidly towards them from the sky.

When I looked, the figure was still quite far away.

But in the blink of an eye, the figure was already right in front of him.

Moreover, the figure had a pair of distinctive white fiery wings behind him, was dragging a strange object in his hand, and had a face that could be clearly seen. Who else could it be but Xiao Ran?

Xiao Li laughed heartily.

"It really is Xiao Ranzi! Quick, someone, bring Big Brother out here!"

"I never expected that you guys would all be more capable than me and my older brother now. Good, good, good."

Xiao Yan also grinned from ear to ear.

Of course, his joy stemmed not only from seeing Xiao Ran return safely,

More importantly, he saw the emerald green flame that Xiao Ran was holding up.

He rubbed his hands together excitedly, staring intently at Xiao Ran.

My saliva was almost drooling from the corners of my mouth.

They heard someone calling for the commander-in-chief, saying that the third commander-in-chief had returned.

Xiaoqing, who was cultivating inside the room, hurriedly jumped out and ran outside.

As he ran, he spoke to the Amethyst Winged Lion King outside the door.

"Uncle Lion, wake up! My young master is back!"

"So what if he comes back? What's the big deal?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King murmured something.

Suddenly his eyes widened, and his big eyeballs rolled around.

"Who? Who's back? That, that human has returned?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King stood up abruptly, all sleepiness gone.

After instinctively getting up, I wanted to back away.

But after taking a step back, he thought about it and still watched Xiaoqing's happy figure running away.

After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and followed.

After all, it hadn't cleaned up the debris in time not long ago.

It almost put Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and the others in danger, but luckily Xiao Yan was there with them.

What if some gossipy person tells that human about these things? Wouldn't it be in trouble?

However, a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one; it's better to strike sooner rather than later.

The sooner the fight, the sooner it ends; the sooner it ends, the easier it is.

To avoid feeling uneasy every day.

On the training ground of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Xiao Ran, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li laughed.

"Big brother, second brother, I'm back."

Xiao Ding lightly punched Xiao Ran in the chest.

"Good lad! It's good that you're back safe and sound!"

"You have no idea, when I heard that you were detained by Queen Medusa, your second brother was so worried about you."

Xiao Li, standing to the side, rolled his eyes in displeasure and said,

"Look at what you're saying, brother, as if you're not worried at all."

"Hahaha!"

The brothers burst into laughter.

At this moment, Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together, suppressing his excitement as he looked at the emerald green flame burning on Xiao Ran's palm.

His voice trembled slightly.

"Ranran, Brother Ran..."

Xiao Ran saw through Xiao Yan's thoughts at a glance.

With a faint smile, he tossed the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in his hand over.

Xiao Yan's expression changed; he did not possess Xiao Ran's level of cultivation.

If you try to catch a strange fire with your bare hands, wouldn't you immediately turn to ashes?

I instinctively dodged away.

With a series of clanging sounds,

The emerald green flames bounced twice on the high platform.

Xiao Yan stepped forward to investigate, only to discover that the ball of Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame...

It was actually contained in a specially made, eerie crystal.

Curious, I reached out and touched it, only to find that it wasn't warm at all.

It is indeed a masterpiece of design!

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up at Xiao Ran awkwardly.

"Ran-ge is really something, he even teases his little brother."

He then used his fighting spirit to wrap around and lift the strange crystal, raising it to the ground.

I watched with excitement as the flame within flickered and burned slightly.

"Ran, Ran-ge, is this really for me?"

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes.

"If I don't give it to you, what's the point of me going all that way back?"

"Is it just to show off?"

"Oh, and don't forget to write down the accounts; settle them annually."

"hey-hey."

Xiao Yan gave an awkward smile, but did not answer the question directly.

Staring at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame within the eerie crystal, he suddenly frowned.

"Huh? Ran-ge, what's going on? Why is the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame so weak?"

Xiao Ran paused slightly, then hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"This is naturally because Queen Medusa used this strange fire to advance her level, which consumed a lot of its energy."

"But this way, you can use it more safely!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan thought to himself, "Hey! It seems that's really the case."

He quickly bowed and thanked them.

"Thank you so much, Brother Ran!"

Then, he pushed it aside and began to play with the strange crystal containing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, unable to put it down.

at this time,

A clear voice, slightly tinged with a sob, rang out.

"Young Master, you're back!"

Xiao Ran quickly turned his head to look.

A petite figure, as if flying, rushed directly into his arms.
