Chapter 182: Mysterious Broken Picture ?...
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 light purple light, slowly contracted, and finally turned into a tattoo and stuck it on Xiao Yan's back.
With his body flipped in mid-air, Xiao Yan stood firmly on the ground with his feet, patted some dust on his clothes, and then looked up at the huge yellow city that appeared at the end of his sight.
Perhaps because of its proximity to the desert, the weather here is quite dry and hot, and the blazing sun swaying down from the sky, baking the earth under your feet to a constant smoky heat, and the heat slowly rises, even making people's vision, a little distorted and blurred visual sense.
According to common sense, in this kind of environment that is definitely not good, there should be no one who will feel a good feeling, but Xiao Yan was a little stunned to find that since he stepped on this land, the purple fire fighting qi flowing in his body has actually become much more cheerful.
Slightly stunned, Xiao Yan 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 belongs to earth attribute and fire attribute energy..."
"Well, due to the terrain, the Tagor Desert is most suitable for those who cultivate fire attribute exercises and earth attribute exercises, and the purple 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 Yao Lao.
"And that's why I asked you to come to the desert to practice. The conditions here are harsh and used to hone people. It couldn't be more natural than ever. ”
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan exhaled lightly and patted the alchemist robe on his body, which was as exquisite as a work of art. Then he took a step and slowly marched towards the loess city that was not far away.
Gradually approaching the city. There are more and more passers-by around, and most of these passers-by, most of the men are **, and their skin is dark and lean, which looks like it at a glance. It seems to be quite bold, and the woman who occasionally passes 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 leather clothes, just just to cover the chest and a little place under it, and those slender waists, but boldly exposed, slender and tight thighs are also only wrapped in some short skirts or shorts, walking. ^^^^ water snake-like waist writhing. There is a charming charm and style.
Along the way, Xiao Yan can be regarded as a feast for his eyes. Smacking his lips, he looked up at the yellow city that could already see the specific scale, and saw that above the city gate, two huge pale red fonts were carved on the city wall.
"Mocheng...", Xiao Yan smiled, and slowly walked towards the gate of the city.
At the gate of the city, more than a dozen soldiers in armor, holding spears, were shouting at passers-by who entered the city to pay the entrance tax, looking at the appearance of these soldiers who were completely armed despite the heat, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned in his heart, how could the defense here be stricter than that of a large city like Black Rock City?
Perhaps because of the hot weather, these soldiers guarding here were also a little irritated by the irritable weather, and they shouted unceremoniously one after another, constantly urging the passers-by at the city gate to move forcefully.
Walking towards the city gate, listening to the scolding that ran out of the mouths of those soldiers, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, shook his head, and then walked straight into the city, in the Gama Empire, alchemists are almost a profession that enjoys the general treatment of nobles, and the payment of entry 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 there was a payment here..."Looking at Xiao Yan 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 catch a glimpse of Xiao Yan's extremely delicate alchemist robe, and immediately, the scolding in his mouth was swallowed alive, and his angry face changed into a flattering smile: "My lord, are you going to enter the city?"
"Hmm. The footsteps did not stop, Xiao Yan slowly walked towards the soldier, glanced at him lightly, and then walked shoulders with the latter, who was a little trembling on his heels, and walked towards the city by himself.
Seeing that Xiao Yan 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 Tagore Desert have been a little restless recently, if you want to go out of the city, you can be small."
The footsteps were slow, and after getting this unexpected news, Xiao Yan 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-grade alchemist, it would be strange if he didn't throw me out to feed the dogs. \\\*\\" Looking at Xiao Yan's disappearing back, the soldier exhaled completely, wiped a handful of 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 indiscriminately shout and curse at passers-by who enter the city.
Slowly walked out of the somewhat dim city wall passage, his vision brightened slightly, and the city buildings with unique desert characteristics appeared in the field of vision.
Standing on the street, Xiao Yan's eyes swept over the crowded streets, and after a while, he asked in his heart with some astonishment: "Teacher, where are you going now?
"If you run headlong in the desert like this, if you don't get lost in the sandstorm, you will die sooner or later because of the lack of water. In the ring, there was a helpless rebuke from Yao Lao.
Smiling awkwardly, Xiao Yan smiled dryly: "It's also the first time I've come into contact with the desert... So what are we going to do next?"
"First of all, go buy the most accurate map of the Tagor Desert, in this city. There should be shops that specialize in selling maps, which is important! Prepare enough water sources, and, again, run to the pharmacy here. Buy some snake repellent medicine, snake people in the Tagore Desert. The best thing is to drive poisonous snakes to attack, so it's always right to be careful. Yao Lao groaned and said martial arts.
"Prepare these things, you shouldn't have time to enter the Tagore Desert right now, so let's rest in the city for the night, oh. By the way, the Earth Rejuvenation Pill in your hand has also been used up. This thing is a must-have for cultivation, but fortunately, I collected enough alchemy herbs in the small valley of the Demon Beast Mountain Range last time, so I'll take the time to refine a batch of them tonight, and when I'm done with these, we'll start entering the Tagore Desert early tomorrow morning. ”
Listening to the things that came out of Yao Lao's mouth, Xiao Yan nodded helplessly, sighed, and pulled a passer-by by to ask about the shop that sold desert maps.
The passer-by who was pulled by Xiao Yan on the ground. At first, his face was slightly impatient. However, after seeing the alchemist badge on Xiao Yan's chest, he couldn't bear to quickly restrain himself. Very politely pointed out the location of the store to Xiao Yan, and when Xiao Yan thanked him and said goodbye, this person also said the approximate price of the map quite eagerly.
Thanking the passer-by, Xiao Yan lightly 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 good to use martial arts.
With a sigh in his heart, Xiao Yan quickly turned the corner of the street, and then went to the best map shop in Mocheng that the passer-by said.
After walking unhurriedly for a long time, the map shop named "Gutu" appeared in Xiao Yan's line of sight, his eyes swept outside the store, Xiao Yan was slightly surprised, this shop is not as luxurious and flamboyant as others, it seems that there is still a faint hint of a quaint atmosphere.
With a little surprise in his heart, Xiao Yan slowly walked into the store, the interior of the store was not too spacious, the faint light of the two moonstones illuminated the store quite brightly, his eyes swept over the inside of the store, there were not many people who came to buy maps inside, and the cold and deserted appearance made Xiao Yan a little puzzled whether he had gone to the wrong place.
Slowly walking into the store, Xiao Yan 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 drawing black pen was still strong and powerful.
Without making a sound to disturb the old man, Xiao Yan'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.
After looking at the map for a while, Xiao Yan 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 old, is covered with holes in rotten wood, and on top of it, some yellowed maps are randomly stacked, and some traces of damage 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, Xiao Yan 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, Xiao Yan put it back boredly after looking at the failed work in his hand, and when he put it back, his eyes glanced lazily at the small broken picture, and his eyes blinked slightly... Then, the moving palm suddenly solidified the martial arts.
"This..."The palm of his hand trembled slightly and carefully picked up the broken picture, Xiao Yan suddenly could feel the violent beating sound of his heart at this time, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, put the broken and simple 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, Xiao Yan slowly narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and muttered tremblingly, "Sure enough, it's..."
