Fight to break the sky

When he arrived at the city a few hundred meters away, Xiao Yan's flying speed gradually slowed down, his body trembled slightly, and the purple cloud wings behind him emitted bursts of lavender light, slowly shrinking, Finally, it turned into a tattoo and was stuck on Xiao Yan's back.

His body flipped in mid-air, and Xiao Yan stood firmly on the ground with his feet. He patted some dust on his clothes and looked up at the huge yellow city that appeared at the end of his sight. He smiled slightly and felt relaxed at the same time. Take a breath.

Perhaps due to its proximity to the desert, the weather here is quite dry and hot. The blazing sunshine shines down from the sky, baking the earth under your feet, constantly exuding a smoky heat, and the heat rises slowly. , it also caused people's vision to appear slightly distorted and blurred.

According to common sense, in this kind of environment that is definitely not very good, no one should feel happy. However, Xiao Yan was a little shocked to find that since he set foot on this land, other people would not feel happy. The purple fire fighting energy flowing in the body actually became much happier.

Slightly startled, Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to grab a few handfuls in the space in front of him, pursed his lips, and after a while, he suddenly said softly: "No wonder, almost 80% of the air here is made of Earth and fire energy..."

"Well, due to the terrain, the Tagore Desert is most suitable for people who practice fire-attribute exercises and earth-attribute exercises. And the purple fire in your body is a special flame closely related to the scorching sun. It is naturally better than Ordinary people feel more sensitively." Yao Lao's faint laughter came from the ring.

"And this is why I want you to come to the desert to practice. The conditions here are difficult, and it is a perfect natural place to train people."

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan took a breath, patted the alchemist's robe that was as exquisite as a work of art, and then walked slowly toward the loess city that was not far away.

As we gradually approach the city, there are more and more passers-by around us. Most of these passers-by are men with bare arms and dark skin. At first glance, they seem to be quite bold, and the occasional passers-by Although the skin of the woman is also slightly dark, it has a somewhat sexy bronze color. The woman here is not as reserved and shy as the women in the empire. A tight-fitting leather jacket just barely covers her breasts and the skin underneath. A little area is covered, but those slender waists are boldly exposed. The slender and tight thighs are also only wrapped by some short skirts or shorts. When walking, the waist twists like a water snake. It has a charming charm and style.

Along the way, Xiao Yan had a feast for his eyes. He smacked his lips and looked up at the yellow city where he could already see the specific scale. Above the city gate, he saw two huge light red fonts carved on the city wall. , looking from a distance, it actually has a faint bloody feeling.

"Mocheng..." After whispering, Xiao Yan smiled and slowly walked towards the city gate.

At the gate of the city, a dozen soldiers in armor were holding long guns and yelling at passers-by to pay the city entrance tax. Looking at these soldiers who were fully armed despite the heat, Xiao Yan was a little stunned. Why is the defense even stricter than that of a large city like Black Rock City?

Perhaps because of the hot weather, the soldiers guarding here were also a little irritated by the irritable weather. They shouted and cursed unceremoniously and kept urging passers-by at the city gate.

Walking towards the city gate, Xiao Yan frowned slightly as he listened to the curses coming from the soldiers' mouths, shook his head, and then walked straight into the city. In the Gama Empire, alchemists almost enjoyed the treatment of nobles. Occupation, the payment of entrance fees at these city gates is also exempted by the empire. Although it is impossible for an alchemist to care about this little money, this face is indeed given to all alchemists. Quite useful.

"Hey, kid, I didn't see it said paid here..." Looking at Xiao Yan, who was walking straight into the city as if there was no one around, a soldier's eyes suddenly widened. However, before his scolding voice could completely stop, his sight was He glanced at Xiao Yan's extremely exquisite alchemist robe, and immediately swallowed the curses that came to his mouth, and his angry face turned into a flattering smile: "Sir, are you going to the city?"

"Yes." Without stopping, Xiao Yan slowly walked towards the soldier, glanced at him lightly, then walked past the latter, whose heels were trembling a little, and walked toward the city.

"Gu..." Seeing that Xiao Yan ignored his previous offense, the soldier's face showed a trace of happiness, swallowed a sip of saliva, quickly turned around and shouted respectfully: "Sir, there are some snake people in the Tagor Desert recently. Restless, if you want to leave the city, be careful."

His steps slowed slightly, and after receiving this unexpected news, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and then slowly disappeared into the darkness in the passage of the city wall.

"Damn, it was almost over. If the higher-ups knew that I had offended a second-grade alchemist, they would be weird if they didn't throw me out to feed the dogs." Looking at Xiao Yan's disappearing back, the soldier finally gave up. He took a breath, wiped off a cold sweat, and returned to his post again. Perhaps because of the previous fright, he had restrained his anger a lot and no longer dared to yell at passers-by when they entered the city.

…

Slowly walking out of the somewhat dim city wall passage, his vision brightened slightly, and a group of urban buildings with unique desert characteristics appeared in his field of vision. The strange-looking houses and buildings opened Xiao Yan's eyes.

Standing on the street, Xiao Yan glanced at the crowded streets. After a moment, he asked in his heart with some surprise: "Teacher, where are we going now? Directly enter the Tagor Desert?"

"If you run around in the desert like this, even if you don't get lost in the sandstorm, you will die sooner or later due to lack of water." Yao Lao's helpless scolding came from the ring.

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and said with a smile: "This is also my first time coming into contact with the desert... So what should we do next?"

"First buy the most accurate map of the Tagore Desert. In this city, there should be a store specializing in selling maps. This is very important! In addition, prepare enough water sources, and run around here again. Pharmacy shop, buy some snake-repellent medicine, the snake people in the Tagore Desert are best at driving venomous snakes to attack, so be careful." Yao Lao mused.

"Prepare these things. There should be no time to enter the Tagore Desert immediately today, so then rest in the city for the night. Oh, by the way, the Qi Rejuvenation Pill in your hand has also been used up. This thing But it is a necessary thing for practice. Fortunately, I collected enough medicinal materials in the small valley of the Warcraft Mountains last time. I will take the time to refine a batch for you tonight. After finishing these, we will start tomorrow morning. Entering the Tagore Desert.”

Listening to the things coming out of Yaolao's mouth, Xiao Yan nodded helplessly, sighed, and pulled a passerby over to ask about the store that sold desert maps.

The passerby who was pulled by Xiao Yan looked a little impatient at first, but when he saw the alchemist badge on Xiao Yan's chest, he quickly stopped his impatience and pointed out the location of the store to Xiao Yan very politely. When thanking him and saying goodbye, the man even eagerly told me the approximate price of the map.

After thanking the passerby, Xiao Yan touched the alchemist badge on his chest with his palm, sighed slightly and shook his head. I have to say that this status is really useful.

With a sigh in his heart, Xiao Yan quickly turned the corner and headed towards what the passerby said was the best map shop in Mocheng.

…

After walking leisurely for a long time, the map shop named "Gutu" appeared in Xiao Yan's sight. His eyes swept outside the shop. Xiao Yan was slightly surprised. This shop It's not as luxurious or ostentatious as other houses, but it actually has a faint quaint atmosphere.

With a bit of surprise in his heart, Xiao Yan slowly walked into the store. The interior of the store was not too spacious. The faint light of two moonstones illuminated the store quite brightly. His eyes swept across the interior of the store. There were not many people buying the map, and the deserted appearance made Xiao Yan wonder whether he had gone to the wrong place.

Slowly walking into the store, Xiao Yan glanced around, and finally stopped at an old man behind the counter who was carefully making a map with his head bowed. This old man was obviously quite old, but even though he had gray hair. His hair was broken, but the dry palm holding the black drawing pen was still steady and strong.

Without disturbing the old man, Xiao Yan glanced at the large number of maps on the counter, holding them in his hand and looking over them with interest. The clear route on the map made him nod with satisfaction.

After looking at the map for a while, Xiao Yan saw that the old man had no intention of finishing yet, pursed his lips, and slowly walked again to a simple wooden frame in the corner of the shop.

This wooden frame is obviously old and full of rotten wood holes. On top of it, some yellowed maps are piled randomly. Judging from the signs of damage on the surface of these maps, it seems that they are failures in the production of maps. .

He flipped through these yellowed maps casually with his palms. A faint musty smell came to his face. He frowned slightly. Xiao Yan picked up a pile of failed works, his palms shook slightly, and a map that was only the size of a palm appeared. The broken pictures suddenly fell from the pile of failed works.

Xiao Yan didn't pay too much attention to the fallen broken pictures. After looking through the failed works in his hands, Xiao Yan put them back out of boredom. When he put them back, his eyes glanced lazily. The eyes of the small broken picture blinked slightly at first...and then, the moving palm suddenly froze.

"This..." He carefully picked up the broken picture with slightly trembling palms. Xiao Yan could suddenly feel the violent beating of his heart at this moment. He swallowed hard, put the broken and simple picture in his hand, and looked at it. With a touch of ecstasy, he carefully scanned the slightly familiar mysterious route on the picture.

After a while, Xiao Yan slowly narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and murmured tremblingly: "It is indeed it..."
