Become a supporting role at the beginning of the fight

More than ten days have passed since Yuan Wen handed Xiao Yan the map of Qinglian's Earth Core Fire.

Xiao Fan packed up the things in the room and gave instructions to Han Jue. From now on, Mocheng will be under his jurisdiction and he will make full use of his power. Han Jue's loyalty to Xiao Fan is now unquestionable, and Xiao Fan is relieved.

After unifying Mocheng, the resources of the mercenary group also increased visibly. After Han Jue took Swallowing Baicao, his cultivation will improve very quickly in the future, and he can basically deal with the problems he encounters.

Today, Xiao Fan has to continue his journey. After all, staying in Mocheng was a helpless move at the time. Unifying Mocheng can be regarded as a casual move.

......

Under the scorching sun, in the arid desert, a man in black robe, shirtless, was walking on foot in the desert.

If anyone sees him, they will probably be shocked. The desert is already hot, and monsters hidden in the sand attack from time to time. It won't be long before someone dares to wander like this in the huge Tagor Desert. You will fall into a coma due to lack of water. In an inaccessible desert, coma means death.

This person is Xiao Fan. After leaving Mocheng, Xiao Fan has been practicing in the desert, heading towards the map, planning his own route along the distance between several oases, and heading towards the territory of the snake people. .

The shadowless mask is still worn on Xiao Fan's face, but because of its specialness, Xiao Fan's face still looks invulnerable.

The naked upper body was covered with large beads of sweat slowly flowing down Xiao Fan's collarbone, chest and abdomen, and under the baking sun, leaving traces of sweat mixed with wind and sand.

Xiao Fan's originally fair skin has gradually become like bronze due to recent practice, becoming less fragile and more resolute and masculine.

Xiao Fan exhaled slightly, feeling the pain that had gradually disappeared from his body, and took out a jade vial from the ring again.

He evenly applied the red liquid in the bottle to his naked upper body. Although he was prepared, the burning pain still made Xiao Fan grit his teeth.

This is exactly the medicinal liquid that Yao Lao prepared for Xiao Yan to practice in the desert. With Yao Lao's soul memory, Xiao Fan easily refined it and used it as his own practice while walking in the desert.

Where the liquid was applied, Xiao Fan could clearly feel that both the perception and absorption of the fire attribute were faster. The fighting energy in the body circulated slowly, and the energy all over his body also penetrated into the pores of Xiao Fan's body. After entering the body, Xiao Fan's strength also increased slightly.

Because of the existence of the system, although Xiao Fan's strength can be increased by relying on system tasks, Xiao Fan still has not given up on his own practice.

He realized that the process of cultivation not only increases the strength of the body, but also the sublimation of the soul. Xiao Fan feels that the process of cultivation is like beating with the famous knife. Without personal training, it is just a struggle for himself. The saint's cultivation level cannot give full play to the advantages of fighting saint. On the other hand, Xiao Fan also enjoys the process of cultivation. After all, Xiao Fan does not have Yao Lao to accompany him. There is no one to talk to to relieve his boredom, and there is no cultivation that can let Xiao Fan vent his lonely heart.

In this way, over and over again, Xiao Fan is still practicing in the desert. Soon, the liquid in the jade bottle has reached the bottom. Closing his eyes, Xiao Fan feels the fighting spirit in his body and opens the system to check his panel.

Five-star fighting master (573\1000)

Thanks to the reward for completing the previous task, Xiao Fan's cultivation level reached the five-star fighting master level. Since it was already 420 before, after completing the task of unifying Mocheng, his fighting spirit increased by 100, reaching a fighting spirit value of 520.

During the time when he entered the desert, in order to increase his cultivation level, Xiao Fan found this medicinal liquid to assist cultivation from Yao Lao's soul memory. After this period of cultivation, he also reached the value of 573. .

As long as the Qinglian Earth Core Fire mission is completed, the system will again reward 300 fighting spirit points, which means that Xiao Fan can advance across three levels in the Dou Master stage.

Therefore, Xiao Fan wants to reach the level of six-star fighting master during this period. By then, once the system tasks are completed, he will be able to reach the level of nine-star fighting master. Moreover, after absorbing the origin of Qinglian's earth core fire, his own strength may be able to reach the level of nine-star fighting master. Jump to the level of a great fighter.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's heart felt hot, and his determination to practice became even stronger.

After all, the ten-year period given by the system has now passed for two and a half years, making Xiao Fan feel more and more that it is impossible to achieve the ten-year goal with slow cultivation.

Therefore, he can only seize every opportunity to improve his strength as much as possible, and then rely on his own strength to pull Xiao Yan up. Only in this way can he escape the system's obliteration. Another thing is that the previous system's Abnormal, Xiao Fan never understood what was going on. It was like a shadow, hanging in Xiao Fan's heart.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Other time travelers are all protagonist templates, mine is just a supporting role. There seems to be something wrong with the system, ugh~"

A sigh, full of joys and sorrows.

Shaking his head, Xiao Fan temporarily expelled these thoughts from his mind. He should seize the time to practice and rush to the snake people to find Qinglian's inner fire.

Xiao Fan took out the map of Tagore Desert from the ring, identified his location, and walked towards the nearest oasis.

In the desert, water is an indispensable part. These days, Xiao Fan has prepared enough food. Only water has been replenished in another oases in the desert.

When it was getting dark, Xiao Fan saw the oasis from a distance, and he couldn't help but feel a little at ease in his heart.

After all, the vast desert is full of yellow sand and dead silence. The lush oasis is the best place for mercenaries in the desert to live.

There is also an unwritten rule in the desert, that is, there will be no fighting or fighting near the oasis. After all, the oasis is a safe place for life in the desert, and no one wants the peace here to be broken.

Xiao Fan feels that this point seems to be very common no matter which world he is in. Just like the animals in the previous life, during the season when the water source dries up, the animals near the water source will basically not engage in predatory behavior, because this will Causes siege by all animals.

As he slowly approached the oasis, Xiao Fan frowned slightly and sniffed the air.

"The breath of blood..."

Xiao Fan stepped towards the oasis. There should be countless animals that depended on it for survival, but Xiao Fan did not find a trace of life.

As soon as he stepped into the oasis, Xiao Fan felt the slight coldness still remaining here.

Walking towards the middle of the oasis again, Xiao Fan quickly arrived at the center of the oasis.

The lake is usually a place where many creatures drink water. At this time, on the beach around the lake, what caught the eye were the remaining tents and some corpses. Xiao Fan frowned and checked the surroundings, but did not find any traps. Among the many corpses In the meantime, Xiao Fan also found out the cause of their death.

Many mercenaries were drugged, and their combat power was greatly damaged due to drugging, so they were killed without hesitation.

After looking at the battlefield, Xiao Fan found that there should be two groups fighting. One group should have drugged the water source. After the mercenaries from the other group drank the drugged water, they launched a surprise attack. However, they should not all be strangled, so they chased them all the way and left here temporarily.

Xiao Fan discovered that there was another mercenary. Although he was stabbed in the abdomen, he was still fine and avoided the vital points. He just lost too much blood and fell into a coma. However, if he did not receive treatment, he might also die.

"You're lucky." Xiao Fan muttered.

After walking to the river to get some water, Xiao Fan made a little distinction. "There are basically no other problems."

Returning to the man, Xiao Fan took out the bandages and hemostatic medicine from his ring, cleaned his wound, sprinkled the wound medicine on him, and then bandaged him.

After finishing, Xiao Fan dragged the man to the nearby bushes and rested with his back against the big tree.

It didn't take long for the man to wake up gradually, and he was still exclaiming something, but Xiao Fan didn't hear it clearly.

The man soon woke up, and just as he was about to get up, he felt a severe tearing pain in his abdomen.

Xiao Fan glanced at the man lightly and said. "Don't move, I just gave you medicine."

Hearing Xiao Fan's voice, the man turned to look at him, bared his white teeth, and said with a grin: "I am Liu Yun from the Wind Chasing Mercenary Group. Thank you young hero for saving my life. I don't know what to call him."

"Don't get hurt." Xiao Fan said lightly.

"Thank you so much, Brother Mo. Unfortunately, I don't have anything right now that I can use to thank you." The man said and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xiao Fan looked at him and asked curiously: "There is no sworn hatred around the oasis, and basically there will be no fights. How come you guys broke out in a fight here and drugged the lake?"

You know, the oasis is the fixed source of life in the desert. If you dare to drug the oasis, once word spreads, I am afraid that all the towns around the Tagor Desert will ban this organization. After all, there are many people operating in the Tagor Desert. Some of the caravans were hired as mercenaries from surrounding areas. If they lost their water source in the desert, they would be close to death.

Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the man pounded the ground beside him with both hands and said bitterly: "They are bandits in the desert. They are interested in our goods. We did not expect that they dared to poison the oasis." , I was tricked now, and I don’t know if the leader and the others escaped."

There is also a profession in the desert, just like bandits in the mountains and pirates on the sea. They specialize in guarding the places where caravans must pass through in the desert, and rob some small caravans, but generally they will not go to the oases. Those who were poisoned, after all, they live in the desert and cherish the oasis even more.

Xiao Fan shook his head and said nothing. He had drugged himself in the oasis and made such a decision. The chance of escape was basically zero.

While the two were talking, Xiao Fan vaguely heard the ringing outside the oasis.
