Slightly stunned, Xiao Bao stretched out his hand and grabbed a few handfuls in the space in front of him, pursed his lips, and after a while, he suddenly said softly: "No wonder, almost eighty percent of the air here is energy belonging to the earth attribute and fire attribute..."

"Well, due to the terrain, the Taklamakan Desert is most suitable for those who cultivate fire attribute exercises and earth attribute exercises, and the brown fire in your body is a special flame closely related to the hot sun, which is naturally more sensitive than ordinary people." In the ring, there was a faint laugh from the elder of the pavilion.

"And this is why I want you to come to the desert to practice, the conditions here are difficult, and it is really a natural occasion to hone people."

Nodding slightly, Xiao Bao exhaled lightly, patted the exquisite alchemist robe like a work of art on his body, and then walked slowly towards the loess city that was not far away.

Gradually approaching the city, there are more and more passers-by around, and these passers-by, most of the men are shirtless, with dark skin, at a glance, it seems to be quite bold, and the women who occasionally pass by, although the skin is also slightly dark, but it is a bit of a sexy bronze color, the women here are not as subtle and shy as the women in the empire, a set of tight-fitting leather clothes, just just to cover the chest and a little place under it, and those slender waists, But the bold fruit was exposed, and the slender and tight thighs were also only wrapped in some short skirts or shorts, and walked. The waist of the water snake twists, which has a charming charm and style.

Along the way, Xiaobao was also a feast for his eyes, smacked his lips, looked up at the yellow city that could already see the specific scale, and saw that above the city gate, three huge pale red fonts were carved on the city wall, and from a distance, there was a faint feeling of blood.

"Shabak—" he whispered. Xiaobao smiled. Walk slowly to the city gate.

At the gate of the city, more than a dozen soldiers in armor were holding spears and shouting at passers-by to pay the entrance tax, looking at these soldiers regardless of the heat. Heavily armed. Xiaobao was slightly stunned in his heart. How can the defense here be more strict than that of a large city like Baibi City?

Perhaps because of the hot weather, these soldiers are guarding here. was also a little irritated by the irritable weather, and unceremoniously shouted and scolded, constantly urging passers-by at the city gate.

Walking towards the city gate, listening to the scolding that came out of the mouths of those soldiers, Xiao Bao frowned slightly, shook his head, and then walked straight into the city, in the Alpha Empire, alchemists are almost a profession that enjoys the general treatment of nobles, and the payment of entrance fees at these city gates is also exempted by the empire, although an alchemist will not care about this money, but this face is indeed quite useful to all alchemists.

"Hey, boy, I didn't see that it was written here..."Looking at Xiao Bao who walked into the city as if there was no one on the side, a soldier's eyes suddenly widened, but his scolding voice had not completely fallen, and his sight was to see Xiao Bao's extremely delicate alchemist robe, and immediately, the scolding in his mouth was swallowed raw, and his angry face changed into a flattering smile: "My lord, are you going to enter the city?" ”

"Hmm." The footsteps did not stop, Xiaobao slowly walked towards the soldier, glanced at him faintly, and then walked shoulder-to-shoulder with the latter, who was trembling on his heels, and walked towards the city by himself.

Seeing that Xiaobao ignored his previous offense, a touch of happiness appeared on the soldier's face, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "My lord, the snake people in the Taklamakan Desert have been a little restless recently, if you want to go out of the city, you have to be careful."

The footsteps were slow, and after getting this unexpected news, Xiaobao nodded slightly, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness in the passage of the city wall.

"Damn, it's almost over, if the above knows that Lao Tzu has offended a second-level alchemist, it will be strange if you don't throw me out to feed the wolves." Looking at Xiaobao's disappearing back, the soldier exhaled completely, wiped a cold sweat, and returned to his post again, and perhaps because of the previous fright, now he has also restrained a lot of anger, and he no longer dares to shout and scold at passers-by who enter the city.

Slowly walking out of the somewhat dim city wall passage, the sight was slightly bright, and the urban buildings with desert characteristics appeared in the field of vision.

Standing on the street, Xiaobao's eyes swept over the crowded street, and after a while, he asked in his heart with some astonishment: "Teacher, where are you going now?" Straight into the Taklamakan Desert? ”

"If you run headlong in the desert like this, even if you don't get lost in the sandstorm, sooner or later you will die of thirst because of the lack of water." In the ring, there was a helpless rebuke from the elder of the pavilion.

Smiling awkwardly, Xiaobao smiled dryly: "It's also the first time I've come into contact with the desert... So what do we do next? ”

"First go and buy the most accurate map of the Taklamakan Desert, in this city, there should be a store specializing in maps, this is very important! In addition, prepare enough water, and, run to the pharmacy here, buy some snake repellent medicine as much as possible, the snake people in the Taklamakan Desert are best at driving poisonous snakes to attack, so it's always right to be careful. Ge Lao muttered.

"Prepare these things, there shouldn't be time to enter the Taklamakan Desert immediately today, so when the time comes, rest in the city for the night, oh, by the way, the Huili Pill in your hand has also been used up, this thing is a necessary thing for cultivation, but fortunately, I collected enough alchemy herbs in the small valley of the Warcraft Mountain Range last time, I will help you refine a batch tonight, and when I finish these, tomorrow morning, we will start to enter the Taklamakan Desert."

Listening to the things that came out of the old man's mouth, Xiaobao nodded helplessly, sighed, and pulled a passer-by by and asked about the shop that sold desert maps.

The passer-by who was pulled by Xiao Bao was a little impatient at first, but when he saw the alchemist badge on Xiao Bao's chest, he was impatient and quickly reined in, and very politely pointed out the location of the store to Xiao Bao.

Thanking the passer-by, Xiaobao touched the alchemist badge on his chest with his palm, sighed slightly and shook his head, I have to say that this identity is really easy to use.

With a sigh in his heart, Xiaobao quickly turned the corner, and then walked towards what the passer-by said was the best map shop in Shacheng.

After walking unhurriedly for a long time, the map shop named "Gulik" appeared in Xiaobao's sight, and his eyes swept outside the store, Xiaobao was slightly surprised, this shop is not as luxurious and flamboyant as others, and it looks like it is faintly revealing a little quaint atmosphere.

With a little surprise in his heart, Xiaobao slowly walked into the store, the interior of the store is not too spacious, the faint light of the two moonstones illuminates the store quite brightly, his eyes sweep over the inside of the store, there are not many people who come to buy maps inside, and the cold and deserted appearance makes Xiaobao a little puzzled whether he has gone to the wrong place.

Slowly walking into the store, Xiaobao glanced at it, and finally stopped at an old man behind the counter who was carefully making a map with his head down, this old man was obviously quite old, but although he was full of gray hair, the dry palm holding the black pen was still strong and powerful.

Without making a sound to disturb the old man, Xiao Bao's eyes swept over the large number of maps on the counter, and he took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again with interest, and the clear route on the map made him nod with satisfaction.

After looking at the map for a while, Xiaobao looked at the old man's intention that it was not over, pursed his lips, and slowly walked to a quaint wooden frame in the corner of the store again.

This wooden frame, obviously quite old, is covered with holes in rotten wood, and on top of it, some yellowed maps are randomly stacked, and some broken marks on the surface of these maps seem to be failures in the production of maps.

The palm of his hand flipped through these yellowed maps at will, a faint musty smell came to his face, and he frowned slightly, Xiaobao picked up a stack of failed works, his palm trembled slightly, and a broken picture that was only the size of a palm suddenly fell from this stack of failed works.

Didn't care too much about the broken picture that fell, Xiaobao looked at the failed work in his hand, and then put it back boredly, when he put it back, his eyes glanced lazily at the small broken picture, and his eyes blinked slightly... Then, the palm of the hand moved, and suddenly froze.

"This..."The palm of his hand trembled slightly and carefully picked up the broken picture, Xiaobao suddenly could feel the violent beating sound of his heart at this time, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, put the broken quaint picture in his hand, his eyes with a few touches of ecstasy, and carefully scanned the slightly familiar mysterious route on the picture.

After a while, Xiaobao slowly narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and muttered tremblingly: "Sure enough, it..."

The palm of his hand trembled a little to hold this broken picture that looked like it would turn into powder at the touch of it, Xiaobao's eyes were full of unconcealable ecstasy, he didn't expect that in this extremely accidental situation, he would get a mysterious broken picture...
