After Lei Dong sat in the room for half a noon, Haibodong flew back. I don’t know if the old man was too excited just now or if he was like this, a cold cold air came over before he even entered the room.

"Finished?"

After seeing Hai Bodong coming back, Lei Dong asked indifferently.

Haibodong nodded, then took out the map, pointed to a place and said, "Young Master, the strange fire you want is here, but I have ice attributes, and the strange fire seems to be not fully mature yet. So the old man couldn't get it back for you."

When Lei Dong heard this, he frowned slightly, and said in confusion: "Does it be necessary for Xiao Yan to step into the desert to be born?"

Then Lei Dong said, "Okay, Haibodong, you can go back to your Mitel family and enjoy it."

After Lei Dong finished speaking, he left Haibodong's hut and flew towards the place marked on his map.

After hearing Lei Dong telling him his origin, Haibodong felt relieved, glad that he had not thought about escaping before! The boy in front of him had indeed investigated everything about him...

............

After a while, Lei Dong arrived at the entrance of the "Qinglian Earth Center Fire". After the white flames wrapped around his body, Lei Dong rushed directly into the depths of the magma.

The second-headed Fire Spirit Snake in the magma felt the powerful aura when he saw the thunder in, and then directly missed it to the distance...

It was originally a monster that grew up with the fire of the Qinglian Earth, but first there was Haibodong, the Douhuang, and then there was a thunder that was even stronger than Haibodong.

The fourth-level monster already has a trace of spiritual intelligence, so it thinks that cultivation is important, but life is even more important!

Lei Dong was naturally not interested in a mere fourth-level monster. After a while, Lei Dong saw a ray of green light in the distance, shrouded in this magma. Lei Dong looked calm and saw that a green lotus was standing gentle in the blue light.

"Green Lotus Earth Center Fire"

It is introduced in the original work that this strange fire ranks 19th on the list. It is born in the depths of the earth and has undergone countless tempering, fusion, compression, and carvings of the earth's fire... It has become a spirit in ten years, a hundred years, and a lotus in a thousand years. When it is completed, its color is green, and a cluster of green fires grows in the heart of the lotus. It is called the green lotus fire, also known as the green lotus earth center fire. This fire is unpredictable. It can even cause a volcanic eruption near the volcanic zone! It forms the destructive power of nature!

Obviously, the Green Lotus Earth Center Fire is about to mature now. However, how many days will it take? Or months, Lei Dong cannot be sure of it.

But he was sure that the flame could not be taken yet.

However, according to the original book, the little girl named Qinglin felt the breath of Medusa half a year ago when Xiao Yan saw her. It was at that time that the strange fire was mature and was taken away by Medusa.

Since he cannot determine when this strange fire will mature now, it is better to find this little girl and take it for himself. After all, with her special eyes, her future achievements will be extraordinary!

Then, the thunder jumped up, left the depths of the magma, and headed towards Shimo City.

Lei Dong didn't know that at the moment he just left, the "Qinglian Earth Center Fire" that was originally immature was directly mature!

.............

Shimo City is a city in the desert. Compared with the cities within the empire, it is a bit more simple and heavy. Perhaps because of its proximity to the Tagor Desert, the defense here is much more stringent than that within the empire. In the city, fully armed soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere.

"Snake man, Snake man is here, run away!"

"What a terrible snake man!"

Not long after Lei Dong arrived in the city, he was worried about where to look for Qinglin, and he heard the voices of a group of people constantly coming from a street in the distance...

Lei Dong looked in the sound and saw a little girl in a light green outfit in the alley, surrounded by a group of naughty children of different ages, clamoring loudly.

The little girl in light green dress lowered her head timidly, and her slightly thin body trembled slightly, like the scared little rabbit, which made people feel a little pity.

Finally, I saw the little girl holding her calf with her hands, squatting down, making a crying sound.

The group of naughty children just scattered. Seeing the small body trembling constantly, Lei Dong walked over.

It seemed as if I heard the footsteps approaching, and the little girl who was originally crying started to cry even more. And she kept muttering: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare people..."

Looking at the little girl trembling somewhere, and what the group of children just said, "Snake Man!"

Lei Dong was already sure that she was Qinglin.

However, her appearance was worse than she thought.

Looking at Qinglin, Lei Dong said, "Why do you want to say sorry?"

The peaceful voice of thunder echoed in the alley, but it made the little girl who was crying and afraid feel a trace of warmth that she had never seen before.

It was also because of this warmth that Qinglin raised her head weakly, with her delicate and cute melon-shaped face, with tears that make people feel pity, looking up at the strange "beautiful" boy she had never seen before.

Lei Dong's eyes met the little girl's gaze and landed on the other party's pupils. Seeing the three green spots deep in the pupils, she smiled slightly and said, "I'm bullied, I'm sorry, do you know why?"

Qinglin shook his head timidly and said, "I...because I am born from the combination of snake man and human beings. I am a person who should not... exist... in the world."

Lei Dong snorted coldly and waved his hand and said, "No, you said it wrong. No one should not exist in this world."

"It's just that you don't have the strength. If you have enough strength to become a strong man, then the person who hides in this corner and crys and is not you. But those who bully you, are you willing to follow me and become a strong man?"

The gentle voice made Qinglin's face slightly stunned. No one had ever said such a word to her since she was born.

Since she remembered, she has been a maid in the Motien Mercenary Group, living with strange eyes from others every day. She has never considered anything else.

Subconsciously, Qinglin nodded and responded: "I do."

As she finished speaking, Lei Dong stretched out his hand, and Qinglin ghosts and gods stretched out his little hand, accompanied by a slight tremor, placed it timidly on the palm. When Lei Dong held his hand, Qinglin felt a warmth when he walked towards the street.

Just as the two of them left the street, Qinglin suddenly trembled. It seemed that there was something terrible?

Lei Dong asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

If she hadn't known that Qinglin had been bullied since she was a child, Lei Dong would have been so angry long ago!

He doesn't like people who cry at any time.

But when she thought of her talent and this girl's loyalty, Lei Dong looked very patient again.

After hearing Lei Dong's questioning, Qinglin looked weak and replied: "Young master, you have a terrible aura, it seems to be approaching here? I...I'm scared..."

When Lei Dong heard this, his eyebrows slightly frowned and said, "Where did it start?"

If I remember correctly, the aura that Qinglin felt should be Medusa. But why didn't he notice that the aura of the Douhuang's powerful man was approaching?

Moreover, isn’t the “Green Lotus Earth Center Fire” not yet mature?

Qinglin paused and said, "Young Master, it's now, and this breath doesn't seem to be far from us."

Lei Dong put aside his doubts and said, "Can you find the source of this breath?"

Qinglin nodded and said, "It should be possible...but, young master, are we really going to find it? Qinglin feels, it's so terrible!"

Lei Dong said directly: "Where?"

Qinglin just felt the warmth, and she didn't want to lose it. So, under Lei Dong's questioning, she pointed her hand in the direction of the existence of "Qinglian Earth Fire".

Lei Dong was very depressed. The next moment, he picked up the green scales with one hand and flew directly to the place where the "Qinglian Earth Fire" existed.
