"Haha, okay, I'm sorry for talking too much. I'll take you to find her right now!" Liu Dong immediately walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.
In this way, Li Xuan and Ai Li followed Liu Dong into the city lord's car and rushed out of the city together.
Ellie winked at Li Xuan several times.
However, Li Xuan looked calm, responded to her gaze, and just nodded slightly.
"This Tang Rou is truly remarkable! She's the youngest battalion commander in our Desert City's City Guards. She has no background whatsoever and has fought her way to the position entirely on her own."
Liu Dong was full of praise for Tang Rou. With his keen perception, he realized that Li Xuan's visit to Tang Rou must be a good thing.
"Since she's already the captain of the City Guard, has she never mentioned that her father was also the captain of the City Guard before, or is it that no one in the City Guard knows this?"
Li Xuan expressed his confusion.
Liu Dong shook his head. "I've never heard her say that. Besides, the death rate of our Desert City's City Guard is very high. There are very few City Guard veterans with more than five years of service left."
Watching the car drive out of the city, Li Xuan asked with a bit of confusion: "City Lord Liu, aren't we going to look for Tang Rou? Where are we now?"
"Oh, she's stationed outside the city with her battalion, mainly to scout the movements of nearby monsters. If a large monster attempts to attack the city, she can provide an early warning."
Liu Dong told us everything he knew and his attitude was extremely kind.
Soon, the car drove into a camp.
After getting out of the car, Li Xuan looked around and his mental power exploration also spread out.
This is a military camp built in the desert, but there is not a single soldier stationed here.
"The soldiers here have all gone out to survey, but Battalion Commander Tang Rou must be inside now." Liu Dong said confidently, pointing to the largest tent.
Li Xuan's detection technique has detected a human at the peak of the third level, and also detected some different things.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he reached out and patted Liu Dong: "I'm really sorry to trouble you, City Lord Liu."
"No trouble, no trouble. The person is inside. Just go ahead." Liu Dong smiled and waved his hand.
Li Xuan nodded and walked towards the tent with the extremely vigilant Ai Li. After taking two steps, he turned back and asked, "Liu Chengzhong, don't you want to come in with us?"
"Since it's confidential, I'd better not go in. Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing." Liu Dong's smile suddenly became a little playful.
"Too."
Li Xuan nodded and continued walking towards the tent.
"Brother Xuan..."
Ellie felt something was wrong, but still believed in Li Xuan's fighting ability.
There shouldn't be any problems with him around.
Li Xuan walked into the tent and saw a woman in military uniform. She had long hair and her head was lowered, and her body was tied tightly to an iron pillar.
The iron chains that bound her were made of the divine iron of the Abyssal Sea, which could break the law and capture the soul, making the bound person lose all ability to resist.
clang!
Li Xuan pointed his finger, and a flying sword flew out and cut the chain cleanly.
Wow!
At the same time, a green light descended upon the woman, restoring her vitality to its fullest, though her spirits were still somewhat sluggish.
"Is your name Tang Rou?"
Li Xuan stepped forward and asked.
At this time, the woman raised her head, looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her, and chose to nod.
Although Li Xuan already had some guesses in his mind, he still asked, "What happened? Who tied you up here?"
But after asking this question, Tang Rou's expression suddenly changed. She immediately stood up and said, "Hurry, let's go!"
As she said that, she pulled Li Xuan and Ai Li and ran out of the tent.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Huge pillars rose from the desert, and energy burst out from these pillars at the same time, connecting with each other and completely surrounding the camp.
Someone had actually set up a fifth-level formation here, and warriors below the fifth level were simply unable to break through the formation.
"It's over!"
Tang Rou's expression suddenly turned extremely pale.
Although Ellie was a little worried, she calmed down when she saw Li Xuan standing beside her, who was very calm.
Liu Dong stood on one of the pillars and laughed heartily, saying, "Haha! Colonel Li, why did you have to look for Tang Rou when there were so many other people you could look for?"
Li Xuan looked straight at him: "City Lord Liu, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being so unlucky. You came to find Tang Rou, such a troublesome person. I have no choice but to get rid of you both!"
Liu Dong changed his usual expression at this moment and there was no smile on his face anymore.
"I'm a colonel in the military. Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?" Li Xuan didn't rush to take action.
"Consequences? You were killed by the big monster. It has nothing to do with me. So what if you are a colonel in the military?" Liu Dong sprinkled a handful of red powder into the camp.
Wow!
When the powder fell on the sand, the entire ground began to shake.
Boom! Boom!
It seemed as if something was about to break out of the ground.
"It's a desert worm!"
Tang Rou took out a spear. As a native of the Desert City, she was very familiar with one of the monsters that lived here all year round.
The ground throughout the camp began to wriggle, and it seemed that countless worms were about to crawl out from underneath.
"After these worms have eaten you all up, I want to see how the military will investigate." Liu Dong said with a sneer.
Tang Rou was able to work her way up to the position of battalion commander, so she was naturally a very decisive person. At this moment, she looked at Li Xuan.
"Are you a colonel in the military?"
She asked with some disbelief, seemingly because of Li Xuan's age.
"That's right."
Li Xuan still responded calmly, as if he had no idea that he was in "danger".
"Then you can't die. You must take the secret out of here!"
As she spoke, Tang Rou was about to use the forbidden technique to burn herself.
"Don't worry, just watch me."
Li Xuan put his hand directly on her shoulder.
Wow!
At the same time, a number of flying swords suddenly emerged from behind him and pierced into the sand below in an instant.
Phew!
A cutting sound was heard, and bright red blood suddenly gushed out from the sand, soon dyeing the entire ground red.
In just a few breaths, all the desert worms under the ground were killed.
this.....
Tang Rou was stunned. The worms here were raised jointly by Liu Dong and the three major families in the Desert City, specifically to do such shameful things for them.
"You...you actually!"
Liu Dong widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Li Xuan just looked at him indifferently, then looked at the fifth-level formation above his head.
"Are you surprised by this? Then there's something even more surprising to you."
