Chapter 44: Demon Fire Map
After sensing the breath of Hai Bodong, Gao Cheng's figure flashed, and he came to the front of a shop, which was mainly engaged in map business. Any samurai who wants to enter the desert to cultivate their fighting spirit will need to purchase a map before setting off. Otherwise, they will go deep into the desert and get lost without a guide.
Maps are something that everyone needs to prepare in the desert, and according to common sense, this shop that sells maps should have a good business, but the shop in front of Gao Cheng is basically empty.
In the middle of the shop sat an old man with white hair, who was sketching a map on a sheepskin with a red pen in his hand. With a concentrated look, Gao Cheng walked to the store, and the old man didn't mean to speak.
This white-haired old man is the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, Gao Cheng can sense the suppressed strong fighting spirit in his body, the other party looks like he is concentrating on his work, and he doesn't greet the guests who come in, and he is not wronged when the shop becomes like this.
"Hai Bodong can rank among the top ten powerhouses in the Gama Empire, even if his strength is sealed, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with, with such strength, earning gold coins is like probing for goods, this shop that sells maps is just a means for the other party to disguise his identity!"
Gao Cheng saw the other party's expression and the situation of the shop, and the thought in his heart moved, and he immediately understood Hai Bodong's plan.
Hai Bodong didn't speak, Gao Cheng looked at the map by himself, and with a sweep of his thoughts, he found a yellowed map fragment in the mezzanine of a map.
"How can this map be sold?" asked Gao Cheng lightly.
Hearing this, Hai Bodong finally raised his head, he saw the map fragment in Gao Cheng's hand, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and asked, "Do you know the origin of this broken map?"
Gao Cheng said: "Yes, I know the origin of this map, I don't know if Your Excellency is willing to cut your love?"
Hai Bodong's eyes flickered, he groaned, shook his head slowly, and said: "If you tell the origin of this map, it doesn't hurt to sell you this map fragment!
Gao Cheng smiled faintly, and with a wave of his hand, a pile of gold and silver appeared in the shop, which is a lot of wealth if calculated according to gold coins, but gold and silver are nothing to Gao Cheng, as long as he is willing, he can take out a large amount of gold at any time.
"These are even gold coins to buy maps!"
Gao Cheng put the map into the space as soon as his mind moved, and then said: "The route on this map is where the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which ranks third on the Alien Fire List, is located!"
"But this level of alien fire is not something that you, a former Douhuang powerhouse, can touch!"
Gao Cheng casually explained that the map in his hand was only a fraction of the complete map, and he didn't know where the destination was when he looked at the route on it.
However, before Gao Cheng came to this world, he consumed a lot of fate energy to deduce the magic power of fate regression, even if he didn't have a complete map, Gao Cheng could also deduce the location of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire through the breath on the map.
In the original timeline, without the strength of the demi-saint, it is impossible to enter the space where the demon fire is located, and the pure lotus demon fire can be guided by people's emotions, so that the demon fire is generated inside the human body, and even the soul will be burned into ashes by the flames. In order to subdue this strange fire, the masters of the Douzun level have fallen a lot.
Hai Bodong is just a Dou Huang, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the Pure Lotus Demon Fire Space.
"The third Pure Lotus Demon Fire on the Alien Fire List?" Hai Bodong's expression suddenly changed greatly, and his eyes showed a look of shock. At the beginning, he took great pains to get the map, and he didn't know the specific role of studying it for more than ten years, but he knew that the origin of this map was definitely not ordinary.
Now through Gao Cheng's mouth, he knew that the map fragment in his hand would have such a big origin!
"Who is Your Excellency, who does not only know the origin of the map, but also my identity?"
Hai Bodong calmed down his shocked emotions first, and then his eyes suddenly became sharp, and a faint cold aura gushed out from his body, and the cold fighting aura spread rapidly, enveloping the entire shop.
After knowing the origin of the map, Hai Bodong would definitely not sit idly by and watch Gao Cheng take things away.
"Hmm, hand over the money and deliver the goods with the other, our deal has been completed, do you still want to regret it?" A trace of coldness appeared on Gao Cheng's face.
Gao Cheng had no opinion on Hai Bodong, the other party contributed a lot after taking refuge in Xiao Yan, and his character was okay, so after he came to the shop, he did not rely on his strong strength to take away the map, but abided by the rules of buying and selling. The two conditions of Hai Bodong were met.
It's just that now it seems that Hai Bodong does not intend to keep his promise, and after knowing the origin of the map, he immediately starts preparing to take it back.
"Just with these useless gold and silver, you want to take the map from my hand, do you think it's possible?" Hai Bodong said in a cold voice, and then condensed the cold fighting qi in his whole body and stopped in front of Gao Cheng.
"Hehe, I really don't know whether to live or die!"
Gao Cheng shook his head, his mind moved slightly, and the strong qi and blood around his body exploded, and the shop that was originally wrapped in the cold fighting qi exploded instantly, he stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly, and a sword light roared out, piercing Hai Bodong's heart with a snort.
For those who dare to shoot at themselves, Gao Cheng has always been stingy.
Hai Bodong showed unwilling eyes, looking at the fatal injury on his chest, he didn't expect that he had lived in seclusion for decades, but at this time he gave his life for a map fragment.
Gao Cheng's expression remained unchanged, and he felt a surge of fate energy. Hai Bodong's luck is not weak, especially when he later took refuge in Xiao Yan and protected many people from the Xiao family in Utan City.
Now that he is dead in the hands of Gao Cheng, I don't know if there will be anyone who will resist when the masters of the Yunlan Sect and the Soul Hall attack the Xiao Yan family in the future.
For this situation, Gao Cheng naturally didn't care too much, and after he solved Hai Bodong, he directly tore the void and left the shop. By the time he reappeared, he had already arrived in the Tagor Desert.
What he has to do now is to subdue the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire in the desert and snatch the opportunity that originally belonged to Xiao Yan in advance. It should be regarded as the reward for teaching the cultivation exercises.
I believe that even if there is no Qinglian Earth Heart Fire, this son of luck can have other opportunities.
A moment after Gao Cheng left, a young man with a big black ruler on his back walked into the shop that sold maps, and this young man was naturally Xiao Yan who left the Warcraft Mountain Range and came to the desert to practice.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong, who was lying on the ground in front of him, his eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously put his hand on the ruler handle, his eyes quickly swept around, and he saw the frost around him that had not completely dissipated.
"Xiao Yan, the person who died in the shop, was a strong man who cultivated cold ice fighting qi before his death! Looking at the blood on the corpse, it seems that he had just died not long ago!"
"It's really bad luck to meet dead people as soon as you enter the city!"
Xiao Yan's face was a little bad, he looked around, pulled out a desert map from the counter next to him and left quickly, ignoring the gold and silver that Gao Cheng left in the shop.
He was new to the city and didn't want to get into too much trouble. However, when leaving the shop, Xiao Yan seemed to have a faint feeling, as if he had lost something more important...... However, this feeling came and went quickly, and did not attract his special attention.
