Chapter 448: The Hermit

The fierce wind blew in her face, and Mei Yingying, who was hiding behind Han Chen, was swept back again and again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The hands of the two Heavenly Xuan Realm powerhouses had stretched out, and the corners of their mouths were also raised in an extremely confident arc.

Without much effort, this young three-star alchemist is about to be captured!

Just when their hands were less than two meters away from Han Chen, a faint spiritual fluctuation suddenly flooded up from all directions.

Dozens of arm-thick stone thorns slammed out from the ground and the stone walls on both sides without warning, and before the two Heavenly Xuan Realm powerhouses could figure out what was going on, their bodies were pierced into honeycombs.

Dense stone thorns pierced through their heads, torsos, and limbs, and before they could feel the pain, they instantly lost their breath of life.

But the force of the two of them rushing forward was too great, and the stone thorns piercing their bodies couldn't withstand the impact, and they all broke off at once. The bodies of the two continued to rush forward under the drive of inertia, and more stone thorns emerged, and their bodies were soon poked with holes.

When they arrived two feet in front of Han Chen, the two of them were finally fixed in mid-air by stone thorns, and at this time, their bodies were already fragmented.

Staring at the bulging eyes, although the two of them lost their vitality, the unbelievable meaning of the lingering was still very clear.

Glancing lightly at the two dead corpses, Han Chen turned around and greeted Mei Yingying, "Okay, you can go." ”

It was only a few minutes after Han Chen left, and the figure at the end of the alley swayed, and several people with gold coin badges on their chests hurriedly ran towards the two corpses.

It is the person of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the middle-aged man who leads it is Shen Jinsheng.

Several people looked at the scene in front of them with horror, and one of them stepped forward to examine it carefully, and said very solemnly: "There is no trace of confrontation, obviously they were suddenly killed by a move, this kind of spell casting speed, could it be that kid is a three-star senior alchemist?"

The other shook his head and said, "Impossible, even if it is a three-star high-level alchemist, it is impossible that there are no traces of battle at all." In such a narrow space, it can kill two Heavenly Xuan Realm martial artists so easily, at least a four-star alchemist!"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the rest of the people, even he himself thought it was too ridiculous.

That kid looks like he's sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and that's even more outrageous than a fantasy at that age to reach a four-star alchemist.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Shen Jinsheng, and one of them asked, "Elder, what do you think?"

Among the three-star alchemists I have seen in my life, the only person who can have four-star strength, who else is there besides the kid who killed Shen Lin?

Shen Jinsheng didn't answer, just snorted coldly, and said to himself: "Stinky boy, you dare to say that you are not Chen Silan......"

The car slowly stopped at the entrance of an ancient street in the east of the city, and the coachman hunched over and said to the curtain behind him: "Master, the ancient street has arrived." ”

The car door opened, Han Chen jumped down briskly, but Mei Yingying was like a fledgling child, first curiously stretched out her head to look around, and then timidly stepped out of the car.

Pointing to a three- or four-meter-wide alley on his side, the coachman said slightly apologetically: "Xuanlingfang is inside, and the car is not easy to get in and out, so I have to aggrieved the master on foot." ”

Han Chen smiled: "I also want to go shopping." He took out a few purple gold coins and handed them over, and the coachman was so excited that he couldn't help bowing down, until the figures of Han Chen and the two disappeared around the corner of the ancient alley, and he left excitedly.

On both sides of the ancient street of Dongcheng, the rows of stone houses are even more ancient, that is, those wooden doors and windows that need to be replaced over the years, all of which have a strong smell of vicissitudes.

Compared with the lively mercenary street and the popular Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce Exchange, the ancient street is much more deserted, and Han Chen has not met a few tourists along the way.

A double-storey stone building comes into view.

The stone building is located on the left side of the street, and a ring of wooden fences separates the stone building from the houses on either side. In this continuous street, the independent stone buildings are particularly abrupt.

But Han Chen knew that for more than 70 years, no one in Polmu had dared to express any objection to this maverick building.

Just because on the wooden door of the fence, there are three words on the huge banner hanging - Xuanlingfang.

The courtyard door was open, and the wooden door of the stone house was not closed, and Han Chen walked in without hindrance.

The stone house is not big, about 100 square meters, except for a wooden ladder leading to the second floor in the corner, the whole interior is neatly placed with various books and drawing tools, and the surrounding walls are also full of maps of different sizes.

An old woman with gray hair and almost countless wrinkles lay quietly on the large table beside the wooden staircase, holding a pen in one hand and a ruler in the other, and measuring and describing the patterns on the paper with great fascination, as if she did not realize that two young men had come up to her.

Han Chen coughed cautiously a few times, breaking the silence in front of him: "This ...... Old lady, I think...... Buy a map of the Forsaken Wasteland......"

The old woman didn't raise her head, and responded indifferently: "There are all on the shelves over there, from south to north, so find which one you want." ”

Han Chen turned his head and scanned a little around a row of animal skins, but did not find the information he wanted. But many of the regions represented on those maps didn't even have the ancient map of the Blood Wolf Sect, and Han Chen couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Chen said, "I want a map about the 'Endless Abyss', I don't know if you have one here." ”

"The Endless Abyss?" the old woman finally looked up.

Slightly stunned: "Alchemist?" The old woman sneered: "Little guy, you are not small, you dare to come to me, don't you know, I am called a 'forbidden place' by alchemists?"

A powerful aura faintly shrouded the stone house, Han Chen didn't seem to notice it, but the warning of the two realms ring quickly came into Han Chen's mind: "Be careful, this old woman is not simple, and I can't see through her!"

A powerhouse who couldn't even see through the two realms, Han Chen's heart sank fiercely, and he immediately raised his vigilance.

"It's actually a three-star intermediate alchemist, the little guy is not simple. The old woman was stunned again. After carefully looking at Han Chen a few times, the old woman asked, "Are you coming to Polmu for the first time?"

Han Chen nodded.

"No wonder. The old woman put down the ruler in her hand, bowed her body, and walked out of the table step by step.

As if her legs were inconvenient, when she walked to the table, the old woman took the crutches leaning against the wooden ladder.

If it weren't for the reminder of the Two Realms Ring, Han Chen would have thought that the other party was just an ordinary old man.

The aura converged so deeply, either a mortal or an extremely strong master.

At first, Han Chen also speculated that the master of the Xuanling Workshop was a Creation Realm powerhouse, but now it seems that the strength of this old woman is probably higher than that Heavenly Sword Sect elder he killed!

The old woman walked to a bookshelf and, with trembling hands, laboriously removed a book. She flipped the pages of the book and said, "The Endless Abyss is so secret that even the aliens in the abandoned wasteland don't know much......"

Raising her head slightly, the old woman stared at Han Chen's eyes tightly and asked, "You little guy, how do you know?"

Han Chen had already thought of an excuse, he patted the bookshelf on the side and said, "Probably the same as you, I saw it from ancient books." ”

The old woman was expressionless, just staring at Han Chen, as if she wanted to see through the truth of Han Chen's words.

Han Chen looked at her fearlessly, calm as a lake on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already churning like a sea.

This old woman didn't put any momentum, but her ordinary gaze made Han Chen feel like a lead stone and extremely heavy.

The invisible power is as powerful as this, this old woman, where is it sacred?

Han Chen's heart was a little more vigilant.

Smiling slightly, the old woman lowered her head.

Han Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The pages of the book are full of geographical patterns, and the old woman turns a few pages, tears off one, turns a few more pages, and tears another one. It was only after tearing out six pages of the book that the old woman put the book back in its place.

She took another book from another shelf, and tore a few pages as before. Han Chen looked at her silently, and the old woman tore up the four books without saying a word, before she took a stack of drawings and walked in front of Han Chen.

"You put it together in order, and this is the map of the Endless Abyss. The old woman handed the drawings in her hand to Han Chen.

This old woman really has a map of the Endless Abyss! Han Chen's heart was full of horror.

But...... So easy to get your hands on?

He didn't dare to take it. Smiling politely, Han Chen said, "You haven't said the price yet, what if I can't afford it?"

"That's right. The old woman sighed leisurely: "Old, people are also confused." She looked at Han Chen and asked, "What are you going to exchange for?"

Directly talking about "exchange", it is obvious that the old woman does not want money, and Han Chen also understands that ordinary items will definitely not be able to impress the other party.

Han Chen asked rhetorically, "That's ...... What do you want?"

The old woman withdrew her hand, took out a piece of worn-out animal skin from her arms, handed it to Han Chen, and said, "You are an alchemist, if you can help me decipher what is on it, the map of the Endless Abyss, I will give it to you." ”

Han Chen took it curiously, and before he could take a closer look, the old woman added: "If you don't understand, I'll bother you to stay with me for ten days and a half months, and discuss and study with me." I don't have much here, except for many ancient books, you won't be lonely. ”

Han Chen's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the warning of Fu Xin, the head of the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce: Mo Rong and Gao Sha had both been imprisoned by this old woman, and they thought it was also for them to study the things on the animal skin. No wonder she said that this is a forbidden place for alchemists, and it seems that there are not a few alchemists she has imprisoned in the past few decades.

Han Chen's pressure was sudden, but he was also full of curiosity, what kind of treasure could make this old woman pay so much attention?

The skin was not large, less than a foot long and wide, and the hue on it had long since turned white, and the handwriting was blurred, and it was obviously quite old.

The vague handwriting records the names and weights of some rare elixirs, and this animal skin is a prescription for an elixir!
