Fight to break the sky

Seeing Xiao Yan nodding, Haibodong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his old face became a little brighter.

"Give me the prescription... Oh, by the way, you should also know the rules of asking an alchemist to refine elixirs, right?" Xiao Yan smiled at Hai Bodong: "Bring your own medicinal materials!"

Haibodong nodded with a wry smile. Of course Haibodong knew this rule, but... holding a few strands of beard with his dry palms, he said with some embarrassment: "I have gathered most of the medicinal materials needed for the prescription, but still... One kind of difference.”

"This medicinal material is called Sand Datura, and it can only be found in the Tagore Desert. The higher the temperature, the easier it is to find it... But you know, I practice ice-based techniques, and inside my body There is also a seal under Queen Medusa. As soon as I step into the depths of the Tagore Desert, she will notice it... so..."

Seeing Hai Bodong's embarrassed expression, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and curled his lips: "You don't want me to find it for you, do you? I've already lost money just by refining medicine for you, and you still want me to be there in the middle of nowhere?" The desert is looking for medicinal materials for you... Isn't your small map fragment too valuable?"

Hearing this, Hai Dongbo smiled coquettishly, hesitated for a long time, and then said helplessly: "Okay, maybe I can give you some information that may be of interest to you."

"What information?" Xiao Yan asked in shock.

"About "Extraordinary Fire"..." Hai Dongbo spread his hands and said with a smile: "I wonder if I can ask you to help me find the Sand Mandala with this information?"

When the word "different fire" entered his ears, Xiao Yan's heart obviously beat hard, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he stared at Hai Dongbo in front of him with a somewhat fiery gaze.

"Perhaps you should have heard some news about the strange fire hidden in the Tagor Desert?" Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Hai Dongbo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said eagerly: "Do you know where the strange fire is in Tagor Desert?"

"I am very interested in drawing maps. I once wandered around the Tagore Desert, and I was lucky enough to get some news about strange fires. I did some detection on the locations and routes in these news. Although We are still not sure exactly where the strange fire is, but we can roughly know which place has a higher probability of having the strange fire." Hai Dongbo said with a proud smile.

"Without my guidance, even if you wander around the Tagor Desert for a year, you still won't be able to find the strange fire..."

"How about it? As long as you promise to help me get the Sand Mandala, I will give you all the information about the strange fire that I have studied for many years." Hai Dongbo said with a smile.

"make a deal!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan agreed. Now the attraction of the strange fire to him is too great. In order to get it, Xiao Yan can pay a huge price.

Seeing Xiao Yan's agreement, Hai Dongbo smiled and nodded. He rummaged through his arms gently, finally took out a thin piece of parchment, handed it to Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "In my case, During the detection, there are three places in the Tagor Desert that are most likely to have strange fires."

Taking the parchment, Xiao Yan carefully spread it out and found that it was an extremely detailed map of the Tagore Desert. This map was completely different from the previous maps on the counter. Not only was it accurate, The places where water sources exist in the desert are marked, and the snake tribes scattered in the desert are also carefully marked.

"Did you see the three flame symbols on the map?" Hai Bodong reminded with a smile.

After hearing this, Xiao Yan glanced at the map and found that there was a very conspicuous flame mark in the three directions of the map: east, west, north and west.

"These three places are the places with the highest probability of hiding strange fires in the Tagor Desert." Pointing to the three flame marks, Hai Bodong smiled and said: "Of course, this is just deduced through my detection. In this place, the accuracy cannot be 100%, but it is undoubtedly much better than letting you fumble around."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. Although he had the help of Yao Lao, after all, the Tagore Desert has such a large area. It is indeed extremely difficult to find a place where strange fire exists. And Haibodong's A detailed map will undoubtedly save you a lot of time and energy.

"You have to remember that it is best to go to the two flame marks in the east and north first. In the west...if possible, try not to go there." Hai Bodong reminded in a deep voice as his finger stopped on the flame in the west. road.

"Why?"

"Because it is close to the depths of the Tagore Desert, Queen Medusa can feel the breath of any human being who enters her range. Although you possess many kinds of rare treasures, if you face the terrifying Queen Medusa, , I don’t think you have much chance of escaping and coming back alive." Hai Bodong sighed with lingering fear.

"Well...I'll try my best."

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan knew in his heart that if no traces of the strange fire were found in the other two places, then he would most likely go to the flame mark in the west. Even though it was dangerous and unpredictable, He will still enter it without hesitation, because the strange fire is too attractive to him...

"These are the only things I can do to help you. I hope you can successfully obtain the strange fire, and then come back with the Sand Mandala." Looking at Xiao Yan who carefully put away the map, Hai Bodong said with a smile. : "As for the prescription and the small fragment of the picture, please allow me to keep them for a while. When you come back, I will give them all to you!"

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, cupped his hands towards Hai Bodong, and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave first. I'm really sorry for making the old gentleman's place such a mess today."

Looking across the messy room, Hai Bodong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, my patience to live in seclusion here is about to run out. Even if you don't destroy this place, I don't think I can do it for much longer. .”

Xiao Yan smiled, apologized again, raised his hand to Hai Bodong, turned around and walked out the door.

Looking at Xiao Yan who slowly disappeared after opening the door, Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then began to clean up the mess in the room.

………

Walking out of the shop, Xiao Yan turned around and looked at the simple and simple shop door. He raised his head and let the hot sunshine in the sky pour on his face like boiling water. After a while, he let out a breath. This short The experience of just two hours really made him feel like he was in a dream. When he first arrived in this desert city, he casually entered a shop and unexpectedly met a powerful man who lived in seclusion. This kind of person usually only The plot that existed in the book actually appeared in front of him alive, which had to make him sigh.

"Oh, you can meet a former Dou Huang warrior at any time...Am I lucky or unlucky?" Xiao Yan smiled softly, exhaled, strode onto the street, and touched lightly with his fingers. Holding Na Jie, he suddenly said casually in his heart: "Teacher, do you think there is anything wrong with him?"

"It's true that he has been sealed. Are you asking if there is anything wrong with the map he gave you? Haha, after all, we will follow his map. If he really has any conspiracy, we will really eat some. It’s a shame.” Yao Lao smiled and said a little thoughtfully: “However, his map can indeed give us a lot of help. I have never been to the three places marked by flames, so it’s hard to say for sure. Is it true or false…”

"However, although we can't say whether he has bad intentions or not, we still need to be on guard against others... After entering the Tagor Desert, try to be careful. You don't have to follow the route exactly as indicated on the map. I also wandered here before. It will take a while, so I can know a little bit and won’t let you get lost.” Yao Lao said slightly cautiously.

"Well..." Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "In that case, I will prepare other things later, then rest in the city for the night, and enter the Tagore Desert early tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." Yao Lao nodded, and then fell silent.

Patting his robe lightly with his palm, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, raised his legs and walked towards a medicinal shop not far away. Today's harvest far exceeded his expectation. Not only did he unexpectedly get a mysterious residual Picture, and also learned some news about the strange fire, which had to make Xiao Yan very excited.

After walking along the street for a while, Xiao Yan turned into a drug store and bought some snake-repelling drugs. When buying the drugs, Xiao Yan also carefully looked at the old man selling the drugs. Finally, seeing the old man, who was a little frightened, he packed up his things and walked out of the drug store in embarrassment. It seemed that after the previous incident, Xiao Yan's nerves were already a little allergic, and he really thought that someone like Hai Bodong was A kind of reclusive master, the streets are full of...

After preparing the snake-repelling medicinal materials, Xiao Yan bought a full supply of Yinajie water from a place that specialized in selling clean water. Only then was he satisfied with what passers-by pointed out and stayed at a high-end hotel in Mocheng. Lived.

…

As the night slowly passed, the blazing sun enveloped the desert in fiery heat again.

Walking out of the hotel, Xiao Yan stretched out and patted the Najie on his finger. Inside, there were fifty Qi Restoration Pills that Yao Lao worked overtime to refine last night. These things, he was practicing in the desert. essential items.

Standing on the street about to leave the city gate, Xiao Yan checked everything again, then tightened the Xuan Zhong ruler behind him that was almost as long as his height, then took a deep breath and started his desert journey. journey of…

"This time, we must find the strange fire!"

Under the awed eyes of the defenders, Xiao Yan stepped out of the city, looked at the endless golden desert that appeared in his sight, and made up his mind in his heart!
