Combination of Light and Darkness

Shimo City, also called Shicheng, is also a border city close to the desert. In terms of scale, Shicheng is slightly smaller than Mocheng, but it still has a large flow of people.

Mocheng is the first line of defense against the snake people. The guard force there belongs directly to the royal family and is managed by the city lord's palace. Jiang Yun had experienced in Mocheng another strong man at the peak of fighting spirit besides Hai Bodong.

There is also an elite army, and compared to Mocheng, in Shimocheng, the most powerful force is the mercenary group.

Except for the small mercenary group, Shimo City is now dominated by the Sand Mercenary Group. The leader, Rob, is a great fighting master. He also has several strong fighting masters under his command, and he can be regarded as the top tyrant in Shicheng.

Behind him, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group and the Storm Mercenary Group followed closely.

The Motie Mercenary Group was founded by Xiao Yan's brother. They had just arrived in Shimo City recently. Both of them were fighting masters and could be regarded as masters of the second echelon of Shimo City.

There are frictions between the three mercenary groups and the competition is quite fierce, but the Sand Mercenary Group always has the upper hand.

On this day, Jiang Yun brought Zi Yan from Mocheng to this stone desert city where there was a lot of opportunity.

Looking at the stone desert city gate in front of him, which was a little small compared to Mo City, Jiang Yun did not hesitate and strode into the stone desert city with Zi Yan. Because of their outstanding temperament and luxurious clothes, the soldiers guarding the city did not hesitate. He didn't dare to intercept him, and he didn't dare to step forward to charge him. He just let him go and let him jump in line into the city.

The other people in line seemed to have been accustomed to this situation for a long time. There was no reaction or objection. On the contrary, they were very cooperative and directly moved out of the way to let Jiang Yun pass.

This is a privilege!

As long as you have strength, you will be respected and enjoy privileges no matter where you go!

"Wow."

After entering the city, they encountered more and more pedestrians on the road. The noise on the street echoed in their ears, and the vague glances from around them made Zi Yan frown in displeasure. He frowned.

With skin as white as snow, a concave and convex face, and a delicate face, coupled with the nobility revealed between her eyebrows, Zi Yan is the focus of the crowd wherever she goes, let alone in this desert city.

Jiang Yun, who noticed Zi Yan's mood, glanced at the crowd around him. His brows furrowed slightly, and a vague soul wave quietly covered the two of them.

The people around them only felt that their eyes were hazy, and when they looked again, they subconsciously ignored the two people on the road.

Sensing the changes in her surroundings, Zi Yan looked at Jiang Yun without blinking with a smile as bright as a flower.

"what happened?"

The fluctuations in the soul's perception allowed Jiang Yun to accurately capture the target. He was lucky, she had already appeared in Stone Desert City.

On the way there, he noticed that Zi Yan kept staring at him, and Jiang Yun asked with some confusion.

"You're jealous!" Zi Yan was still smiling, looking like a fool, and she explained the reason for a long time.

Jiang Yun paused slightly, then continued to move forward with a normal expression. A calm voice came, "No!"

Zi Yan was not angry at Jiang Yun's denial, and still looked at the somewhat arrogant Jiang Yun with a teasing look.

Finally, the noise in front caught Zi Yan's attention.

In a chaotic corner ahead, a girl with a pale face was surrounded by many people.

At this time, the girl was holding her calves in her hands and squatting under the corner. Her little body was shaking constantly and her eyes were red. You could vaguely see the girl's tears falling down. She lowered her head in fear and endured the disgusted and discriminatory looks of everyone. Insulted by the onlookers.

"She is not human. I just saw it. She has snake-like scales on her hands. She is a hybrid who lives with snakes. Get out of our Stone Desert City!"

"Yes, I also saw it. There is the dirty blood of the snake man in his body. It is really a shame for mankind."

"Bah! Disgusting bitch!"

"Get out of our city!"

Words of heart-wrenching words hit the trembling girl squatting in the corner like a tide. The disgusted and discriminatory gazes of the crowd were like cold arrows, silently piercing the girl's heart. Hot tears fell from the girl's pale and pretty face. The face fell silently.

At such a young age, she had to endure such treatment, and her heart was already riddled with holes.

The vicious words made Zi Yan's heart burn with unknown fire. She was not a merciful person. She had seen even more cruel scenes in the Black Corner Territory.

But for some reason, she had a natural affection for the young Qinglin. More importantly, Qinglin's experience reminded her of her childhood. At that time, she was also bullied by powerful monsters. The difference was that she had the ability to resist. the power of.

Jiang Yun had expected this. His childhood experience had allowed him to see through the nature of the world. It is true that humans and the snake people have racial grievances, especially the family members of those humans who died in battle with the snake people. He has an indelible blood feud against the snake people.

Qinglin has the blood of humans and snake people. Is she wrong? I'm afraid she is the one who suffers the most.

In this world, weakness is the original sin. If she had strong strength, then none of this would have happened. Those who scolded her the most harshly today will be the first to beg for mercy in the future.

"boom!"

Zi Yan beside her couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped on her foot suddenly and the ground suddenly collapsed. There was an explosion-like sound under Zi Yan's feet. She landed in the central open space surrounded by everyone, blocking Qing Lin. in front of you.

Looking indifferently at the unfamiliar and hateful faces below, a powerful pressure suddenly pressed on everyone. Everyone wailed, and all the faces looked up at Zi Yan in fear, trembling as if they were encountering a ferocious beast!

"Get out of here!" Looking at the crowd of people kneeling around and not daring to move, Zi Yan scolded with a cold expression.

Zi Yan's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the surroundings. Her indifferent tone was filled with endless coldness and a soaring evil spirit!

Feeling the cold murderous intent, the people around them dispersed one after another, and some even ran away in panic and ran out of the area.

After dispersing the crowd, Zi Yan looked back in the direction of Qing Lin and almost jumped in anger. She saw that just when she was taking advantage of her to teach others, Jiang Yun had already arrived at Qing Lin's side.

"What's your name?"

Jiang Yun knelt down with a gentle expression, looked at Qing Lin and asked softly.

Qing Lin is probably only eleven or twelve years old now. She is pretty and pretty, but has a sensitive and timid personality. As a mixed-race snake-man, her life in Stone Desert City was not easy. Her ability to grow to such a big size is entirely due to her physical constitution and some luck.

"Green...green scales!"

The little girl still hugged her knees with her hands, lowered her head, looking weak and helpless, looking at Jiang Yun, but there was a strange look in her beautiful eyes.

Although she is still young, she has already experienced the ups and downs of the world, and has experienced too much rejection, disgust, and discrimination. Therefore, the girl has an inferiority complex in her heart, and she does not dare to expect the kindness of others.

The people in front of her helped her drive away the people who made things difficult for her. She was even more afraid that Jiang Yun would see the scales in her hands and dislike her. Therefore, the girl grabbed her cuffs with both hands more nervously, not wanting to expose the things in her sleeves. Things, the thin body was trembling.
