Looking at the distance, under the setting sun, the outline of the huge city was dyed red.
Lin Feng wiped the sand on his body that was blown by the wind and stuck to his sweat.
A smile suddenly appeared on his bitter face.
Because he had never been to the desert before, and it was not convenient to use the Dou Qi yarn clothes on the road.
Therefore, in the desert, the days of rushing on the road made him feel very uncomfortable.
However, except for a few attacks by monsters on the road.
There was no incident of the caravan turning into robbers and robbing him.
Looking at the Stone Desert City not far away, not only Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The other people in the caravan also smiled a little more.
They were doing defense work throughout the journey, and they were very tired physically and mentally.
And now arriving at the Stone Desert City means that they can also take a break and relieve the fatigue of these days.
In the expectation of everyone, the caravan slowly moved forward to the city gate and then rushed in.
After entering the city, Lin Feng paid the balance, said goodbye to the caravan, and walked around the city.
While strolling, Lin Feng found that the city in the desert
was more simple and heavy than the cities in the empire .
Moreover, perhaps because it was close to the Tagor Desert, the defense here was much stricter than that in the empire.
In the city, fully armed soldiers were patrolling everywhere.
"Ouch!"
At a corner, a little girl of twelve or thirteen suddenly rushed out.
Although Lin Feng discovered it in advance and stopped walking immediately, the little girl was obviously not capable of this.
While running, the little head hit Lin Feng's abdomen directly, and then bounced out, screaming in pain.
The cloth bag held by the two little hands was also thrown away, and the things inside were scattered all over the ground.
"Little sister, are you okay?"
Seeing the little girl fall to the ground, Lin Feng walked up quickly, helped her up, and asked softly.
"No, it's okay."
The little girl seemed to be a little afraid that Lin Feng would be angry, and looked at him carefully.
Afterwards, seeing that Lin Feng really had no intention of beating her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she saw the scattered food on the ground, her pretty little face instantly turned like a bitter gourd.
"It's over, this is the only meal of the day."
The girl exclaimed and hurried to the pile of food scattered on the ground.
Knowing that the food on the ground would inevitably be stained with dust.
But she still held a glimmer of hope, picked it up from the ground, and took a closer look.
Then, the girl's slightly green eyes instantly dimmed, her legs softened, and she sat on the ground again.
"Uh"
Seeing this situation, Lin Feng scratched the back of his head, a little at a loss.
If it was an adult, it would be much easier for him to deal with it, but he really couldn't do anything about the crying child.
Looking at the girl's somewhat shabby clothes.
It was similar to before he was promoted to a fighter, and he must have a bad life.
This time, she also scattered her only meal of the day on the ground, so she would have to go hungry tonight.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng walked to the girl and squatted, then took out a small bag of gold coins from his pocket.
He took her little hand, put the gold coin in her palm, and smiled softly: "Take it and buy another one."
Looking at the heavy cloth bag in her hand, the little girl's head was buzzing.
The number of gold coins in this bag might not be enough even if she sold them.
But thinking of her own food, she took one out of it and hesitated for a moment.
She reluctantly stretched out her arm holding the cloth bag.
"Big brother, one gold coin is more than enough for my things,"
the girl sniffed and said weakly.
Looking at the girl's actions in front of him, Lin Feng was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect her to do this. If it was him, he would have run away with the gold coins.
But then he thought that this girl lived in Shimo City, so she should be very familiar with this place.
It would be much better if there was a familiar person to guide him to find Qinglin here.
He touched the girl's hair and smiled, "Little sister, what's your name? How about this, you do me a favor, and this bag of gold coins will be your reward, okay?"
Hearing this, the girl's eyes swept over Lin Feng, and then said, "My name is Qinglin. If big brother wants to hire me, let me eat."
"Your name is Qinglin?!"
Hearing the word Qinglin, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes stared at the girl.
"Yes, but big brother, I... I didn't mean it."
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Qinglin's heart suddenly tightened, thinking that Lin Feng knew that he had the blood of a snakeman.
She was so scared that she dropped the gold coins, subconsciously hugged her head with both hands, closed her legs, and waited for the fists and feet to come.
Qinglin's action immediately exposed the green snake scales on her arm.
Lin Feng was sure that the girl in front of him was Qinglin.
"Hehe, I just think your name is nice."
The imagined fists and feet did not come, but a gentle male voice sounded in his ears.
Qinglin raised her head slightly and looked at Lin Feng who was smiling in front of her.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the scales on her arms exposed, and in an instant, her pretty face turned pale again.
"Yes... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to scare you."
Qinglin quickly retracted her arms and buried her head between her legs.
Her body trembled slightly, and there was a hint of begging for mercy in her timid voice.
Looking at Qinglin's timid appearance, Lin Feng sighed softly in his heart.
I really don't know how Qinglin has survived these ten years.
With a little force, he pulled Qinglin's arm out, and then, in her terrified look, he carefully lifted her sleeve with his other hand.
Looking at those green snake scales, he said softly, "What beautiful scales."
Hearing this, Qinglin was stunned by her fear. Since she was born, Lin Feng was the first person who actually said that these scales that scared her were beautiful...
In her weak heart, which was almost devastated, a strange feeling quietly emerged.
With eyes that faintly exuded some strange charm, he timidly said, "Big brother, aren't you afraid?"
Lin Feng stared at Qinglin's pair of green watery eyes. After
careful observation for a while, he found that there were three extremely tiny green dots hidden deep in the pupils.
Staring closely at the somewhat enchanting green pupils, Lin Feng suddenly felt that his mind was a little dazed.
A moment later, Lin Feng's heart was shocked, and he quickly came back to his senses, with a faint surprise on his face.
This green snake's three-flower pupil is worthy of being the most amazing pupil on the continent. Even with his own soul power, he was a little absent-minded.
Looking at Qinglin's cute and delicate face, he rubbed Qinglin's little head again.
With a smile on his face, he said, "It's really beautiful. If you were scared, I wouldn't be talking to you here."
These words, Lin Feng did not lie to Qinglin.
After all, he had not experienced the war against the snake people, so he did not have such a strong resentment towards the snake people.
What's more, he himself did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Gama Empire. In addition,
he had seen these in many entertainment works in his previous life.
Therefore, he was more curious.
