Chapter 139 Uncertain of Life and Death
"Second sister, long time no see~"
Xiao Yan greeted Xiao Li with a smile, and Xiao Li immediately rushed over and hugged Xiao Yan tightly in his arms.
"Half a year has passed, Xiao Yan has grown a lot taller! He seems to be a lot darker, is he tired outside?"
Xiao Li looked Xiao Yan up and down, his words overflowing with love for his younger brother Xiao Yan. Although Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed, he also felt very warm.
The only people who would care about him so much without any concern, besides Xiao Zhan, were Xiao Yu and Xiao Li.
At this time, Xiao Li noticed the little doctor standing next to Xiao Yan, and was slightly stunned, looking at Xiao Yan and asking.
"Xiao Yanzi, who is this girl?"
"This is my friend, Xiao Yixian, we are traveling together now." Xiao Yan introduced Xiao Yixian to Xiao Li, and then introduced Xiao Li to Xiao Yixian, "Xiao Yixian, this is my second sister Xiao Li."
"Hello, it's our first meeting, please take care of me."
Xiao Yixian was extremely polite, lowered her head slightly to Xiao Li, and her voice seemed to be deliberately lowered, which made Xiao Yan's eyebrows tremble slightly.
I always feel that Xiao Yixian has suddenly become gentler?
"Ah? Hello."
Xiao Li stared at Xiao Yixian blankly, then put his arm around Xiao Yan's neck, and asked in a low voice in the corner.
"Xiao Yanzi! What is your relationship with this girl?" Xiao Li raised his hand and raised his little finger, "Is it yours?"
"No, no! We are really just friends!"
Xiao Yan hurriedly explained, and then roughly told what happened in Qingshan Town. After listening, Xiao Li was silent for a long time and sighed deeply.
"He is also a poor child."
The poisonous body of the evil does not require too much training, and can improve strength by eating poison. It sounds very beautiful, but combined with the experience of Xiao Yixian, people will not think so.
If it were Xiao Li, because of her physique that killed her relatives around her, she would have committed suicide long ago.
"By the way, second sister, is your sister not in the mercenary group now?"
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Li and asked, and when Xiao Li heard Xiao Yan's question, the joy on her face that had just been born because of the reunion with Xiao Yan disappeared instantly.
After a long time, Xiao Li patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said solemnly.
"Xiao Yanzi, sit down and listen to your second sister first."
Xiao Li arranged Xiao Yan and others to sit down, and was suddenly stunned when he saw Xiao Zhengtai.
"Eh? You are here too?"
".Very good, I guess you didn't see me just now."
Xiao Zhengtai crossed his arms and pouted his lips in dissatisfaction, making Xiao Li apologize repeatedly.
"Sorry, sorry~ I'm so happy to see my brother, you should sit down too."
"Hmph!"
The little boy snorted, stood on tiptoe to pick up an apple from the coffee table, and jumped onto the sofa. His two short legs swayed on the edge of the sofa, and he nibbled the apple with his hands. He looked so cute that Xiao Yan and Xiao Yixian couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Is this person really in his sixties or seventies?
At this time, Xiao Li turned his head and looked at Qing Lin, saying.
"Qing Lin, please go and pour everyone a cup of tea and prepare some snacks."
"Yes." Qing Lin nodded in response, turned around and left the head of the group, while Xiao Li sat down, looked at Xiao Yan opposite, and slowly spoke.
"Xiao Yanzi, don't be anxious about what the second sister is going to say next, you must listen quietly to the end."
"Yes."
Xiao Li's words made Xiao Yan feel a little uneasy, but he still nodded lightly and listened carefully to Xiao Li's next words.
"First of all, Xiao Yanzi, do you know the current situation of the Tagor Desert and the Desert Iron Mercenary Group?"
"Almost. This guy has already told me the general situation in the car just now."
Xiao Yan turned his head to signal the little boy beside him, but the little boy was still chewing the apple in his hand, as if he didn't care about their conversation at all.
Xiao Li nodded and continued.
"Then I will continue to tell you that there will be no major problems if we continue to operate according to the eldest sister's policy. Although we are often assassinated, the most difficult thing my eldest sister and I have tried our best to overcome. The rest just needs to wait for time. As long as the time is right, it will be a natural thing for the grudges between humans and snake people to be eliminated."
"But recently, I encountered some troubles."
Xiao Li folded his hands and his face became very ugly.
"Although those black market slave traders suffered heavy losses under our attack, my elder sister and I did not expect to eliminate them all at once. The focus was on preventing the snake people from being sold, and our results were also remarkable. No snake people disappeared for no reason in the past six months."
"However, just a few days ago, the snake people in various tribes were suddenly attacked by several unknown human forces. The attacked snake people tribes were all small tribes without tribal leaders, causing heavy casualties among the snake people. My elder sister immediately released the news to let the snake people tribes be more vigilant, and we also tried hard to track down the forces of those humans who took action."
"But in the end, nothing was found. We couldn't find out where those people came from."
After listening to Xiao Li's words, Xiao Yan frowned tightly and raised one hand to ask.
"Is it those slave traders?"
In response to Xiao Yan's question, Xiao Li shook his head slightly.
"Let alone the means of action, we have almost mastered all the slave traders' stations in the Tagor Desert. During the period when those tribes were attacked, there was no movement in those slave traders' stations. Moreover, for those slave traders, the snake people are extremely important commodities, and they are the least likely to kill the snake people."
The ultimate goal of the slave traders is still money, and as long as one of the snake people dies, they will lose 100,000 to 500,000 gold coins, so they are unlikely to take the initiative to attack the snake people tribe. Even if they attack, it will never cause heavy casualties.
"So that's why the snake people in Mocheng are gone."
The little boy who was sitting quietly eating an apple suddenly spoke, and Xiao Li nodded slightly.
"Well, after the incident, the eldest sister notified the snake people who came to Mocheng to trade, asking them not to come to Mocheng for the time being and wait until the incident is over."
"And just a while ago, a messenger suddenly came from the snake people, asking the eldest sister to go alone."
Hearing Xiao Li's words, Xiao Yan stood up suddenly.
"So, sister went alone?!"
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Li in astonishment, and Xiao Li also responded solemnly.
"Well, I originally wanted my elder sister to bring a few more people with her, so that if something really happened, there would be someone to take care of her, but my elder sister directly refused."
"She said that she believed that the snake people had seen what we had done in the past six months, and the snake people would not do anything to her." Xiao Li said, lowering his head, "But she added that if she didn't come back within five days, it proved that the situation had deteriorated to the most serious level, and asked me to disband the mercenary group immediately and take Qinglin away from here."
"And today is the third day she has been to the snake tribe."
