Combination of Light and Darkness

Chapter 71 Looking for strange fire!

Shimo City, also called Shicheng, is also a border city close to the desert. In terms of scale, Shicheng is slightly smaller than Mocheng, but it still has a large flow of people.

Mocheng is the first line of defense against the snake people. The guard force there belongs directly to the royal family and is managed by the city lord's palace. Jiang Yun had experienced in Mocheng another strong man at the peak of fighting spirit besides Hai Bodong.

There is also an elite army, and compared to Mocheng, in Shimocheng, the most powerful force is the mercenary group.

Except for the small mercenary group, Shimo City is now dominated by the Sand Mercenary Group. The leader, Rob, is a great fighting master. He also has several strong fighting masters under his command. He can be regarded as the top tyrant in Shicheng.

Behind him, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group and the Storm Mercenary Group followed closely.

The Motie Mercenary Group was founded by Xiao Yan's brother. They had just arrived in Shimo City recently. Both of them were fighting masters and could be regarded as masters of the second echelon of Shimo City.

There are frictions between the three mercenary groups and the competition is quite fierce, but the Sand Mercenary Group always has the upper hand.

On this day, Jiang Yun brought Zi Yan from Mocheng to this stone desert city where there was a lot of opportunity.

Looking at the stone desert city gate in front of him, which was a little small compared to Mo City, Jiang Yun did not hesitate and strode into the stone desert city with Zi Yan. Because of their outstanding temperament and luxurious clothes, the soldiers guarding the city did not hesitate. He didn't dare to intercept him, and he didn't dare to step forward to charge him. He just let him go and let him jump in line into the city.

The other people in line seemed to have been accustomed to this situation for a long time. There was no reaction or objection. On the contrary, they were very cooperative and moved out of the way to let Jiang Yun pass.

This is a privilege!

As long as you have strength, you will be respected and enjoy privileges no matter where you go!

"Whoa."

After entering the city, they encountered more and more pedestrians on the road. The noise on the street echoed in their ears, and the vague glances from around them made Zi Yan frown in displeasure. He frowned.

With skin as white as snow, a concave and convex face, and a delicate face, coupled with the nobility revealed between her eyebrows, Zi Yan is the focus of the crowd wherever she goes, let alone in this desert city.

Jiang Yun, who noticed Zi Yan's emotions, glanced at the crowd around him. His brows furrowed slightly, and a vague soul wave quietly covered the two of them.

The people around them only felt that their eyes were hazy, and when they looked again, they subconsciously ignored the two people on the road.

Sensing the changes in her surroundings, Zi Yan looked at Jiang Yun without blinking with a smile as bright as a flower.

"what happened?"

The fluctuations in the soul's perception allowed Jiang Yun to accurately capture the target. He was lucky, she had already appeared in Stone Desert City.

On the way there, he noticed that Zi Yan kept staring at him, and Jiang Yun asked with some confusion.

"You're jealous!" Zi Yan was still smiling, looking like a fool, and she explained the reason for a long time.

Jiang Yun paused slightly, then continued to move forward with a normal expression. A calm voice came, "No!"

Zi Yan was not angry at Jiang Yun's denial, and still looked at the somewhat arrogant Jiang Yun with a teasing look.

Finally, the noise in front caught Zi Yan's attention.

In a chaotic corner ahead, a girl with a pale face was surrounded by many people.

At this time, the girl was holding her calves with both hands and squatting under the corner. Her little body was shaking constantly and her eyes were red. You could vaguely see the girl's tears falling down. She lowered her head in fear and endured the disgusted and discriminatory looks of everyone. Insulted by the onlookers.

"She is not human. I just saw it. She has snake-like scales on her hands. She is a hybrid who lives with snakes. Get out of our Stone Desert City!"

"Yes, I also saw it. There is the dirty blood of the snake man in his body. It is really a shame for mankind."

"Bah! Disgusting bitch!"

"Get out of our city!"

Words of heart-wrenching words hit the trembling girl squatting in the corner like a tide. The disgusted and discriminatory gazes of the crowd were like cold arrows, silently piercing the girl's heart. Hot tears fell from the girl's pale and pretty face. The face fell silently.

At such a young age, she had to endure such treatment, and her heart was already riddled with holes.

The vicious words made Zi Yan's heart burn with unknown fire. She was not a merciful person. She had seen even more cruel scenes in the Black Corner Territory.

But for some reason, she had a natural affection for the young Qinglin. More importantly, Qinglin's experience reminded her of her childhood. At that time, she was also bullied by powerful monsters. The difference was that she had the ability to resist. the power of.

Jiang Yun had expected this. His childhood experience had allowed him to see through the nature of the world. It is true that humans and the snake people have a fatal racial grudge, especially the family members of the humans who died in the war with the snake people. He has an indelible blood feud against the snake people.

Qinglin has the blood of humans and snake people. Is she wrong?I'm afraid she is the one who suffers the most.

In this world, weakness is the original sin. If she had strong strength, then none of this would have happened. Those who scolded her the most harshly today will be the first to beg for mercy in the future.

"boom!"

Zi Yan beside her couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped on her foot suddenly and the ground suddenly collapsed. There was an explosion-like sound under Zi Yan's feet. She landed in the central open space surrounded by everyone, blocking Qing Lin. in front of you.

Looking indifferently at the unfamiliar and hateful faces below, a powerful pressure suddenly pressed on everyone. Everyone wailed, and all the faces looked up at Zi Yan in fear, trembling as if they were encountering a ferocious beast!
"Get out of here!" Looking at the crowd of people kneeling around and not daring to move, Zi Yan scolded with a cold expression.

Zi Yan's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the surroundings. Her indifferent tone was filled with endless coldness and a soaring evil spirit!

Feeling the cold murderous intent, the people around them dispersed one after another, and some even ran away in panic and ran out of the area.

After dispersing the crowd, Zi Yan looked back in the direction of Qing Lin and almost jumped in anger. She saw that just when she was taking advantage of her to teach others, Jiang Yun had already arrived at Qing Lin's side.

"What's your name?"

Jiang Yun knelt down with a gentle expression, looked at Qing Lin and asked softly.

Qing Lin is probably only eleven or twelve years old now. She is pretty and pretty, but has a sensitive and timid personality. As a mixed-race snake-man, her life in Stone Desert City was not easy. Her ability to grow to such a big size is entirely due to her physical constitution and some luck. "Green...green scales!"

The little girl still hugged her knees with her hands, lowered her head, looking weak and helpless, looking at Jiang Yun, but there was a strange look in her beautiful eyes.

Although she is still young, she has already experienced the ups and downs of the world, and has experienced too much rejection, disgust, and discrimination. Therefore, the girl has an inferiority complex in her heart, and she does not dare to expect the kindness of others.

The people in front of her helped her drive away the people who made things difficult for her. She was even more afraid that Jiang Yun would see the scales in her hands and dislike her. Therefore, the girl grabbed her sleeves with both hands more nervously, not wanting to expose what was inside her sleeves. Things, the thin body was trembling.

Looking at the timid Qing Lin, Jiang Yun quietly controlled the power of his soul, soothed the other party's nervous mood, and whispered gently.

"Qinglin, it's a very nice name, it's also very beautiful, don't worry it will scare me!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yun stretched out his hand, ignoring the opponent's struggle, and pulled up the opponent's somewhat thin arm, looking at the cyan scales on the opponent's wrist. The cyan snake scales glowed brilliantly in the sunlight.

The mixed-blood Jiang Yun has seen a lot. When he was in the Evil Spirit Clan, strange creatures often appeared. In comparison, Qinglin's condition was not worth mentioning.

Under the comfort of Jiang Yun's soul power, Qing Lin's fearful psychology also stabilized. When Jiang Yun pulled her arm, her young body trembled slightly when she heard Jiang Yun's words.

Qing Lin couldn't help being startled again, and then looked up at Jiang Yun. Seeing the other person's expression that didn't seem to be fake, as well as the gentle eyes and warm smile that she had never seen before, the girl couldn't help but feel something in her heart, and her smart eyes flashed. The mist that moved me was really pitying me.

Jiang Yun's attitude towards her lit up her almost devastated weak heart almost instantly.

She subconsciously turned her head and opened her eyes that were faintly exuding some strange charm. Jiang Yun, who was opposite him, could clearly see the three small green eyes in the other person's crystal-clear green eyes. Dots suddenly appeared suddenly
"Son!"

"Is there anyone else in your family?" Looking at the timid Qing Lin, Jiang Yun asked softly, for fear of shocking this poor girl.

"No more!" Qinglin's eyes looked a little lonely when he mentioned his family.

"It's okay, you can just follow us from now on, I will be your sister!"

At this moment, Zi Yan's sudden voice came, and Qing Lin felt her body light up. She exclaimed and felt herself falling into a soft embrace.

What caught her eye was a delicate face. She recognized the other person. She was with that kind-hearted young man, and he had just helped her drive away those people.

Seeing Zi Yan's bold gesture, Jiang Yun looked up helplessly, fearing that Zi Yan's carefree personality would frighten the other party. When he looked up, he saw Zi Yan glare at him.

He glanced at Jiang Yun and secretly remembered this incident in his heart. Damn it, he actually left her to kidnap an ignorant girl. She remembered it.

"Sister Qinglin, can you just follow us from now on?" Zi Yan gently held Qinglin's face, staring into the watery eyes of the girl in front of her, and said softly.

Looking at the porcelain doll-like girl in front of her, Zi Yan's heart suddenly rose with infinite affection. The girl had a cute oval face, delicate and pretty, green eyes, smart and energetic, a small and exquisite nose, and a rosy and shiny cherry mouth. .

Especially that timid look, like a frightened little rabbit, makes people feel a little pity.

Even though Zi Yan was only interested in Jiang Yun, at this moment, she still felt the urge to bite him.

She stared blankly at the eldest sister in front of her, and then turned to look at the gentle Jiang Yun beside her. Her green scales were a little moist, and her cute and delicate face showed some inexplicable brilliance. Her pretty nose twitched slightly, and she nodded hard. nodded.

"Yes, I do!" He murmured softly, and Qinglin left Zi Yan's arms. A pair of small hands took the initiative to hold Jiang Yun's arm and didn't let go, for fear that he would abandon her.

Upon seeing this, Zi Yan's face froze slightly, and she stared blankly at the empty embrace.

No, I was the one who chased away the bad guys, and I was the one who invited you first. Why is the result different from what you imagined?

Jiang Yun was also slightly stunned, but when he saw Qing Lin's happy smile and Zi Yan's dull expression, his mood immediately improved. He rubbed Qing Lin's hair, and Jiang Yun stepped forward and took Zi Yan's hand.

"Let's go and buy some clean clothes for Qing Lin. After that, it's time for me to break through to Dou Huang!"

As the light shone down, in the stone desert city, Jiang Yun held the backs of two figures, one large and one small, gradually lengthening.
In the vast desert, the yellow sand is raging.

At this moment, it is exactly noon, and the sun is scorching, especially in this desert, it is even hotter!
"Hoohoo."

The wind and sand roared past, and three rays of light and shadow flew over the dry desert void, and finally stopped in a flat desert.

"right here?"

Looking at the desert in front of her, Zi Yan gently placed the green scales in her arms on the desert, then turned to Jiang Yun and asked.

Feeling the rich fire energy in the ground, Jiang Yun said with certainty: "This is it!"

Hearing this, Zi Yan frowned slightly and slowly took two steps forward. She stood on a small sand dune and looked around. She looked at Jiang Yun with a thoughtful look on her face.

"How do we get down?"

"Of course we have to dig!" Looking at Zi Yan with some strangeness, Jiang Yun said matter-of-factly. Medusa came here first. There is no ready passage ahead. If you want to reach your destination, you have to dig!
Jiang Yun's words left Zi Yan speechless for a moment. She glanced at Qing Lin, who was obedient and powerless, then looked at Jiang Yun, and pointed to herself with some hesitation: "I dug it." ah?"

"You are the strongest here. If you don't dig, who will dig?" Jiang Yun looked at Zi Yan strangely and said matter-of-factly.

"Humph, just dig!" After receiving the reply, she glared at Jiang Yun angrily. Zi Yan said angrily, stretched out her white hands, and planned to take action.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun was just joking and stopped him in time: "Okay, I'm joking with you, how can I let you do it?"

"Hmph——" With a cold snort, Zi Yan walked aside, hugged the Qinglin brand pillow, and ruffled her hair in the helpless eyes of the other party.

Qing Lin looked helplessly at her eldest sister who was holding her. After a few days of getting along with her, she had become accustomed to Zi Yan's character. This older sister looked like an older sister but was actually a 'younger sister' on the inside.

Here, Jiang Yun scanned the surrounding desert. A powerful invisible force surged out of Jiang Yun's body and spread out in all directions. He was using his soul power to sense the breath of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire underground.
