btth: reincarnated as a half-saint

"That's not right. Although I am much stronger than you, you are helping me find the strange fire after all, so I should give you a reward."

Xie Tianxiao shook his head slightly, then looked at the mercenaries beside Xiao Ding and said, "Besides, you don't care about the money, but some of your mercenaries really need it."

How could Xie Tianxiao not know what Xiao Ding was thinking?

It's just that Xie Tianxiao is not short of gold coins now. Although he is very powerful, these people will not complain even if he doesn't give them.

But he is a "human being" after all. How could he do something like this: the workers work for the boss, but the boss doesn't pay the workers and makes them work for nothing?

The mercenaries on the side were all very surprised after hearing what Xie Tianxiao said.

They didn't expect that such a big shot would care about low-level mercenaries like them. At the same time, they all echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, the lord can sympathize with us poor mercenaries. He is really a kind and good man!"

"Please rest assured, sir. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will definitely complete your request!"

"That's right, that's right, we will never let you down!"

…

Hearing their words, Xiao Ding smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha... I am obsessed with it. Senior is really kind!"

He didn't expect that after Xie Tianxiao rejected his kindness, he would actually think about his brothers. This was simply not in line with the common sense behavior of a strong man.

"Brothers, cheer up. Since Senior thinks highly of us, we will try to find the Strange Fire for you as soon as possible!"

Xiao Ding shouted to his men.

"Hahaha, Captain, you don't need to tell us, we all understand!"

"We must find the strange fire as soon as possible!"

The mercenaries shouted loudly, their eyes filled with passion and enthusiasm!

"Very good. Go ahead."

Xie Tianxiao nodded with satisfaction and waved at Xiao Ding.

"Yes, Senior!"

Xiao Ding clasped his fists and bowed, then called on the mercenaries to disperse in all directions.

After watching Xiao Ding and the others leave, Xie Tianxiao turned around and said to Qing Linran beside him: "Qing Lin, follow me for the next few days. I will take you to a suitable place after I have dealt with the matter here."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, adults." Qinglin responded obediently.

"Hehe.. Let's go."

Seeing this, Xie Tianxiao smiled gently, touched Qinglin's little head gently, and took her away from the mercenary base.

He also had to find a better place to live to wait for the next few days.

…

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day, in Shimo City, at a luxury hotel.

"Sir, we found something unusual in the eastern part of Stone Desert City."

A mercenary reported to Xie Tianxiao.

"Oh, did you find it?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Tianxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"I'm not sure, but the temperature there is much higher than other places. The captain can't make up his mind, so he asked his subordinates to ask for instructions." The mercenary replied respectfully.

"uncertain"

After hearing the mercenary's words, a thoughtful look flashed across Xie Tianxiao's face.

If he guessed correctly, that place was most likely the location of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire.

"Yes, in addition to asking me to tell you the news, the captain also hopes that you can take action to deter the troublemakers." The mercenary suddenly said.

"The person who caused the trouble? Tell me about it." Xie Tianxiao asked.

Hearing this, the mercenary continued to report: "During the days we were searching, the people from the Sand Mercenary Group came to cause trouble a few times. After the leader said it was the adults' intention, they restrained themselves."

"But the situation didn't last long. They became arrogant again and even came here to cause trouble today. I guess they have already confronted the two group leaders."

The Sand Mercenary Group is another mercenary group in Stone Desert City besides the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, and it is also the strongest mercenary group!

Hearing the mercenary's report, Xie Tianxiao's lips curled up slightly.

He remembered that in the original novel, the Sand Mercenary Group thought that Xiao Ding and the others were looking for some advanced martial arts and fighting skills, so they wanted to attack them.

However, Xiao Yan found out about it and shocked the opponent by bursting out with the strength of a Dou King. Later, Xiao Yan was killed by him after returning from taming the strange fire.

"In that case, go back and tell Xiao Ding that I will be there soon." After thinking for a moment, Xie Tianxiao said calmly.

"yes!"

The mercenary took the order, turned around and left quickly.

The other side.

In the east of Shimo City, there is a vast desert and yellow sand is raging.

The two brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were confronting a middle-aged man whose body was covered with yellow fighting spirit and whose face was filled with cruelty.

"Thunder Arc Three-Step Dance!"

Xiao Li suddenly let out a low roar, and the spear in his hand strangely jumped up with arcs of electricity, and then he stabbed at the middle-aged man madly.

"Haha, is this the only strength of the second leader of the famous Desert Iron Mercenary Group? What a waste of the lightning attribute fighting spirit that is said to have the strongest attack power!"

Facing the oncoming electric arc, the middle-aged man laughed wildly with disdain, and clenched his huge fist suddenly. The yellow fighting spirit on it condensed wildly, and after an instant, it condensed into an energy-based boxing glove.

He clenched his fist and suddenly exploded. The violent sound of the wind mixed with fierce energy collided directly with the electric arc.

When the two collided, the middle-aged man's fist destroyed the three arcs of electricity almost like a whirlwind. After the destruction, the momentum was still unabated and it hit Xiao Li's chest heavily.

"Puff."

A mouthful of blood spurted out and Xiao Li's body flew backwards.

Seeing this, Xiao Ding, who was standing by, quickly reached out to support Xiao Li and asked with concern: "Second brother, are you okay?"

"Brother, I'm fine." After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Xiao Li gritted his teeth and insisted.

"Rob, aren't you afraid of offending the man who gave us the mission by acting like this?"

Xiao Ding glared at Rob in front of him and said coldly.

"Haha, offended?"

Rob laughed and mocked: "Xiao Ding, you are just a fighter of a small mercenary group. How could any big shot give you a mission?"

"Besides, I've been observing you for a few months, but I've never seen any big shot appear before!"

"That's right! I think you have discovered some advanced skills left behind by your predecessors, and you want to use this as an excuse to deceive us!"

Not far from Rob, a man with a sinister look on his face also echoed.

The gloomy man is named Mo Xing. He is the second-in-command of the entire Sand Mercenary Group and the strongest person besides Rob.

"Damn it, Mo Xing! You are looking for death!" Xiao Ding said angrily when he heard it.

He didn't expect that Rob didn't believe what he said, and even mocked him for being just a small fighting master who was not worthy of being valued by big shots. How could he tolerate this!

"Captain, Captain!"

At this time, a mercenary ran out from the crowd and shouted anxiously to Xiao Ding.
