Chapter 62 Surprise Reward: Locating the Location of the Strange Flame! [Please Read On]

[Ding! You touched Qinglin and gained the Soul-Capturing Technique! Note: This technique is effective against those whose soul realm does not exceed that of the host. It can control their soul and make it obey the host.]

Hearing the system's reward message in his mind, Xiao Lei was overjoyed.

This soul-capturing technique is quite powerful!

Xiao Lei's strongest asset right now is his soul!

Thinking of this, Xiao Lei's gaze towards Qing Lin softened even more.

Upon hearing Xiao Lei's words, Qing Lin's fearful expression froze. Since she was born, Xiao Lei was the first person to say that her scales were beautiful, something that even frightened her...

Feeling Xiao Lei's gentle gaze, a strange feeling quietly stirred in her almost scarred little heart. Opening her eyes, which faintly exuded a certain charm, she timidly asked, "Young Master, aren't you afraid?"

Staring at Qinglin's bright eyes, Xiao Lei noticed that they were slightly greenish, and that there seemed to be three tiny emerald green dots hidden deep within the pupils.

In the blink of an eye, the three tiny green dots disappeared.

Xiao Lei reached out and pulled Qing Lin up, smiling softly, "These are beautiful scales, what's there to be afraid of?"

At this moment, Qinglin seemed to feel a ray of light appearing deep within her soul, warming her sensitive and timid heart.

"Young Master, I will be your personal maid during this time. If you need anything, just tell Qinglin," Qinglin said in a low voice, bending down.

"Let's put the basin away first," Xiao Lei said with a gentle chuckle, ruffling the girl's hair.

"Oh, I almost forgot..." Qinglin exclaimed, hurriedly picking up the basin and cleaning up the water stains on the ground.

"Do you know where your commander is?" Xiao Lei asked with a smile after Qing Lin finished packing.

"Both commanders have already gone to sort out the affairs of the group, but they have instructed that if you want to see them, young master, I can take you to the council hall," Qinglin said softly.

"Since they're busy, why don't you show me around?" Xiao Lei shook his head slightly and stepped out of the room.

"Mmm," Qinglin responded softly, carefully following behind Xiao Lei.

As Xiao Lei walked with Qing Lin through the mercenary group, every passing mercenary would stop and greet him kindly.

However, their smiles gradually turned cold when their gaze fell on Qinglin beside them.

In fact, some people even harbored a hidden sense of disgust deep in their eyes.

Most of these mercenaries have an indelible blood feud with the snake people. Whenever they think of the snake people's blood flowing through Qinglin's body, they can't help but show some disgust.

This emotion is almost impossible to suppress; it stems from the long-standing animosity between humans and snake people.

Qinglin, who possesses both human and snake-human blood, bears the discrimination and disgust of both sides.

In truth, Qinglin was an innocent person.

Although those people didn't openly express their dislike for Qinglin because of Xiao Lei's presence, the sensitive Qinglin still sensed it.

Every time she felt that disgust, her petite body would tremble slightly, and her lovely face, which should have been adored by countless people, would be filled with gloom.

Xiao Lei gently patted Qing Lin's head and said softly, "Qing Lin, don't care too much about what others think. Just remember, you're not living for others; you're living for yourself!"

After saying that, Xiao Lei continued walking away into the distance.

Hearing Xiao Lei's words, Qing Lin was stunned. After a long while, a strange look appeared on her cute and delicate face.

She sniffed slightly, raised her small face, and three tiny green dots silently reappeared in her emerald green pupils.

"Thank you, Young Master Xiao Lei..."

She murmured something softly, and a strangely alluring smile suddenly appeared on Qinglin's face. Then she jogged to catch up with the boy in front of her...

Next, Xiao Lei stayed with the Mo Tie Mercenary Group for the time being, waiting for the mercenaries to find out more details for him.

Three days later, Xiao Lei was strolling around Stone Desert City with Qing Lin when a member of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group suddenly came up to him in a hurry.

"Young Master Xiao Lei, the commander has asked me to invite you back!"

The mercenaries from the Mo Tie Mercenary Group immediately greeted Xiao Lei respectfully upon seeing him.

"Oh? Is there something urgent?" Xiao Lei raised an eyebrow and asked casually.

The mercenary said respectfully, "The location you sent your mercenary group to scout has been found."

Upon hearing the news about the mercenary, Xiao Lei's face showed a faint joy. "Let's go back now."

Immediately, Xiao Lei and Qing Lin, along with the mercenary, headed back to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

Soon, they met Xiao Ding and Xiao Li in a large hall inside the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

"Xiao Lei, you're back," Xiao Ding greeted with a smile upon seeing Xiao Lei return.

Xiao Lei nodded slightly, then said, "I heard from that mercenary brother that you've found the location corresponding to the flame symbol on the map?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Xiao Li said, "We did find the location, but we didn't find anything special there. Could the map be marked incorrectly?"

"Probably not," Xiao Lei shook his head slightly, then said, "If strange fire were so easy to find, it wouldn't have waited for us. There's nothing unusual on the surface of the desert, so why don't we try digging deeper into the desert?"

"You mean, underground?" Xiao Ding asked, a slight thought crossing his mind.

Xiao Lei nodded and said, "That's right, it's underground. There are rumors on the Dou Qi Continent that some people have even discovered treasure palaces or something similar underground in the desert."

"You make a good point. I'll have someone investigate the desert underground to see if there's anything special about it," Xiao Ding said with a smile.

"I'll go with you this time," Xiao Lei said after thinking for a moment.

Xiao Lei vaguely remembered that the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was originally in the underground magma at the location found by the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had no objection to this.

Immediately, the three brothers, along with their mercenary group, headed towards the place where the strange fire might exist.

This time, thanks to Xiao Lei's reminder, Xiao Ding directly called upon several skilled terrain surveyors from the mercenary group to prepare for digging into the desert.

By the time Xiao Lei and his group arrived there, it was almost noon.

At Xiao Ding's command, more than forty terrain surveyors began their exploration with clearly defined roles.

As one of the three major mercenary groups in Stone Desert City, the actions of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group naturally attract countless observers.

In the past three days, their actions have already attracted the attention of many mercenaries, especially the other two mercenary groups.

When the members of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group began to explore and dig into the ground, it attracted the attention of many scattered soldiers, all of whom wanted to know what they were doing.

However, the area had been sealed off by the Mo Tie Mercenary Group in advance, and the mercenaries who came to watch were ruthlessly blocked outside.

As the exploration progressed, more and more people gathered around to watch. Xiao Ding announced that they were going to kill a third-tier magical beast, but this obviously failed to convince everyone.

As the blazing sun gradually set in the west, a sudden commotion arose among the onlookers. A mercenary group of at least forty men slowly parted the crowd and brazenly barged into the area cordoned off by the Mo Tie Mercenary Group…
