Chapter 111: The Desert Iron Merary Group

  In the void above, Gu He sat on Little Gold's back, swiftly traversing the golden expanse below.

  It had been two days since he left the Desert City. Gu He was now on his way to the Sto City, following the route indicated on the map.

  He held the map in his hand, and he could tell that he wasn't far from the Sto City.

  In the high sky, Gu He stood on Little Gold, releasing his soul power to survey the surroundings.

  Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow and looked down.

  On a sand dune below, a man was desperately fleeing. As he tumbled over the dune, he lost his footing and rolled down.

  From high above, Gu He g the man who had fallen from the dune, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

  In the moment, Gu He used the "Assion Steps" and appeared beside the mahen took out a bottle of water from his Ste Ring and gave it to the injured man.

  With the help of the water, the man who had fallen into a a opened his eyes.

  He g Gu He, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and seeing no mali him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

  After a casual look at the man, Gu He took out a bottle of water from his Ste Ring and gave it to the man before preparing to leave.

  Gu He never sidered himself a saintly person with a passionate heart. But in the desert, when he entered an iranger, them some water was his bottom line. If they expected him to escort them all the way out of the desert, they would be disappointed.

  "Brother..."

  Seeing that Gu He was about to leave after providing water, the man was a little surprised. He hurriedly stopped Gu He, and with a pleading tone, he said, "Brother, please wait. Our merary group is utack by the snake people, and we are in a life-ah situation. I implore you to go to the Sto City and ask for reinforts!"

  "Sorry, I don't have time."

  Upon hearing this, Gu He didn't even look back; he simply refused calmly.

  He couldn't be bmed for his indifferent nature. In this world, not everyone could go seek reinforts. Sihey had decided to e to the Tagor Desert and work as meraries, they should be prepared for the sequences.

  "Brother!"

  As Gu He walked further away, the man became increasingly anxious. Shouting at Gu He's retreating back, he said, "Brother, please help us. If our Desert Iron Merary Group survives this crisis, our leader will certainly reward you handsomely."

  Hearing the man's cries, Gu He paused and then turned around. He walked back to the man with aed expression.

  "Desert Iron Merary Group? Are you part of the Desert Iron Merary Group from the Sto City?" Looking at the man, Gu He blinked in surprise, and a hint of astonishment appeared in his dark eyes.

  What a ce!

  "Yes... Brother, have you heard of our merary group?" The man was somewhat unsure if Gu He's i in their group was good or bad. In this situation, he had no choice but to press on.

  Gu He asked, "Is your leader's name Xiao Ding or Xiao Li?"

  Upon hearing this, the man cautiously answered, "Yes."

  Seeing this, Gu He smiled slightly. It seemed like he had indeed entered the Desert Iron Merary Group.

  From his Ste Ring, Gu He took out a detoxification pill and ha to the man. "Take this; it will ralize the snake poison."

  "Thank you, Brother." The man gratefully accepted the pill and swallowed it.

  "Thank you, Brother!"

  Taking the healing medie from Gu He's hand, the man swallowed it as well.

  Gu He then took out a small bottle of medial oi from his Ste Ring and ha to the man. He smiled and said, "This is a healing oi. Apply it to your injuries; you should be fine. After that, take me to your merary team."

  "What? Go there?"

  Hearing this, the man was surprised and hurriedly said, "Brother, that's not possible. Our team is being besieged by the snake people, and there are eight of them. Among them, three are ar Dou Masters!"

  "Little brother, it would be better if you rushed to the Sto City and asked for reinforts. Our leader and the others will e immediately. We're not far from here!" The man tried to persuade him anxiously.

  "Stop talking and apply the medie quickly. Thehe way. I have my own assurance for doing this. Otherwise, when they bring reinforts, your people will be wiped out," Gu He urged as he lightly kicked the man's thigh and rolled his eyes.

  Hearing Gu He's words, the man looked at him suspiciously once more. Dressed in white, unblemished by dust, walking alone...

  All of these factors left the man uo figure out the true strength of the man before him.

  With a wry smile, the man applied the medial oio his thigh. He then stood up with trembling legs and poio a dune, saying, "It's not far from there."

  Gu He cast a brief g the sand dune and nodded slightly. He grabbed the man's arm and, with a fsh, they were on top of a hill.

  Gu He's gaze fell upon the desert below. In the desert, a dozen meraries were standing with their ons, their backs to him. Surrounding them were eight strange-looking creatures. These creatures had human heads and bodies but had a massive

  sail in pce of legs. They hissed as they moved their tails, sending chills down anyone's spine.

  "Are these the snake people of the Tagor Desert?" Gu He excimed in amazement as he looked at the eight male snake people. He was truly amazed. This was the first time he had ever seen such creatures since his arrival in this world.

  "...Sir, they are a squad from our Desert Iron Merary Group. inally, we inteo hunt magical beasts, but we were uedly ambushed by these guys..." The man looked at Gu He with reverence. Gu He's speed earlier had made the man realize that this was a hidden powerhouse.

  "Alright."

  Nodding slightly, Gu He's gaze swept through the ten meraries. Eight males and two females. Upon a quick examinatioiced that their strength itifully weak.

  "Kill them and leave the woman!"

  The leader of the snake people, with triangur pupils, cast his eyes upon one of the females. His voice was cold, hoarse, and carried a hint of lust. Snake people had a natural greed and desire for women.

  Upon hearing the leader's and, the surrounding snake people immediately revealed bloodthirsty expressions. Their mouths opened slightly, and their crimson songues flicked out.

  "Be careful, everyone. Number Five has gone back to seek help. If we hold on for a little longer, we'll be saved!" The female merary in the Desert Iron Merary Group, a sensual woman, tightly pressed her rosy lips together and spoke in a cold tone.

  Hearing her words, the other meraries were slightly enced, but the hands gripping their ons were still sweaty. The highest-ranked members in their group were only around Seven-Star Dou Masters, while the other side had several ar Dou Masters. This disparity... Would they be able to hold out until reinforts arrived?

  "Attack!"

  With a cold snort, the leader of the snake people waved his hand, and the bloodthirsty snake people immediately rushed towards the meraries in the ter.

  "Whoosh!"

  Just as the snake people began their attack, a powerful pressure desded in an instant.
