Chapter 111: The Desert Iron Mercenary 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 Stone Desert 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 Stone Desert 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 glanced at the man who had fallen from the dune, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

In the next moment, Gu He used the "Ascension Steps" and appeared beside the man. He then took out a bottle of water from his Storage Ring and gave it to the injured man.

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

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

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

Gu He never considered himself a saintly person with a compassionate heart. But in the desert, when he encountered an injured stranger, offering 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 mercenary group is under attack by the snake people, and we are in a life-and-death situation. I implore you to go to the Stone Desert City and ask for reinforcements!"

"Sorry, I don't have time."Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

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

He couldn't be blamed for his indifferent nature. In this world, not everyone could go seek reinforcements. Since they had decided to come to the Tagor Desert and work as mercenaries, they should be prepared for the consequences.

"Brother!"

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

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

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

snake tail in place 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 exclaimed 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 Mercenary Group. Originally, we intended to hunt magical beasts, but we were unexpectedly 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 mercenaries. Eight males and two females. Upon a quick examination, he noticed that their strength was pitifully weak.

"Kill them and leave the woman!"

The leader of the snake people, with triangular 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 command, the surrounding snake people immediately revealed bloodthirsty expressions. Their mouths opened slightly, and their crimson snake tongues 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 mercenary in the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, a sensual woman, tightly pressed her rosy lips together and spoke in a cold tone.

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

"Attack!"

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

"Whoosh!"

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