Chapter 187: A Trip to the Desert
Seeing Xiao Yan nodding, Hai Bodong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on the old man's face was also a little more martial because of this.
"Give me the prescription... Oh, by the way, you should also know the rules for asking an alchemist to refine the elixir, right?" Xiao Yan smiled at Hai Bodong: "Bring your own medicinal materials!"
Nodding with a wry smile, Hai Bodong naturally knows this rule, but... The dry palm grabbed a few strands of beard, and said with some embarrassment: "I have already gathered most of the medicinal materials needed for the prescription, but there is still one missing." ”
"This medicinal herb is called the Sand Mandala, and it can only be found in the Great Tagor Desert, and the hotter it is, the easier it is to find it... But you know, I practice ice attribute exercises, and I have the seal of Queen Medusa in my body, as soon as I step into the depths of the Tagore Desert, I will be noticed by her... So..."
Seeing Hai Bodong's embarrassed face, Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and pouted, "You don't want me to find it for you, do you? I already lost money just by refining medicine for you, and you still want me to find medicinal materials for you in the vast desert... Isn't it worth too much of a map fragment of you?"
Hearing this, Hai Dongbo smiled, hesitated for a long time, and then said helplessly: "Okay, I may be able to give you some information that you will be interested in." ”
"What information?" Xiao Yan was stunned.
"About the "strange fire"..."Hai Dongbo spread his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know if this information can please help me find the sand mandala?"
"You should probably have heard some news about the hidden fire in the Tagor Desert, right?" Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Hai Dongbo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and smiled and groaned.
"Hmm. Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan said eagerly, "Do you know where the strange fire in the Tagore Desert is?"
"I'm a man who is very interested in making maps, and I once walked around the Tagore Desert, and I was lucky enough to get some information about the Alien Fireland, and I explored the routes of the places in these messages. Although it is still not very certain where the strange fire is, it can roughly know which place has a higher probability of having a different fire. Hai Dongbo smiled proudly and said with a martial arts.
"If it weren't for my guidance. You can spend a year in the Tagore Desert. It's hard to find strange fires..."
"How about it, as long as you promise to help me get the Sand Mandala. I've been researching the news for years. All for you. Hai Dongbo smiled and said with a martial arts.
"Deal!"
Without the slightest hesitation. Xiao Yan agreed. Now the alien fire is attracted to him. It's just too big. In order to get it. Xiao Yan can pay a huge price to use force.
Seeing Xiao Yan agree. Hai Dongbo smiled and nodded. The palm of his hand was gently tugged in his arms. Finally, I found a thin piece of parchment. Hand it to Xiao Yan. Laughing: "In my exploration." In the middle of the Tagor Desert. There are three places where there is the most likely presence of the Alien Firelands. ”
Take the parchment. Xiao Yan carefully spread it out. It was found to be an extremely detailed map of the Great Tagor Desert. This map is not at all comparable to the previous maps on the counter. It not only accurately marks the place where the water source is located in the desert. And also those scattered in the desert of the snake tribes. It was also carefully marked out of the martial arts.
"Do you see the three flame symbols on the map?" Hai Bodong reminded with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes swept over the map, and sure enough, he found it. In the east, west, and north directions on the map, there is an extremely conspicuous flame symbol of martial arts.
"These three places are the places in the Tagore Desert where there is the greatest chance of a strange fire being hidden. Pointing to the three flame symbols, Hai Bodong smiled: "Of course, this is only the place that I have deduced through my detection, and the accuracy rate cannot reach 100%, but it is undoubtedly much better than letting you talk nonsense." ”
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, although he had the help of the medicine elder. But after all, the Tagore Desert has such a large area, and it is indeed extremely difficult to find a place where alien fire exists, and this detailed map of Hai Bodong will undoubtedly save him a lot of time and energy.
"You have to remember that it's best to go first to the east and north of the two places where the flame signs, the west there... Try not to go if you can. His finger stopped on the flame in the west, and Hai Bodong reminded him in a deep voice.
"Why?"
"Because it's close to the depths of the Tagor desert. Queen Medusa is able to feel the breath of any human who enters her range. Although you have many treasures, if you are against the terrifying Queen Medusa. I don't think you have much chance of getting back alive. Hai Bodong sighed with palpitations.
"Hmm... I'll try my best. ”
Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan knew in his heart that if the other two places did not find traces of the strange fire, then he would most likely go to the flame symbol place in the west, even if it was unpredictable, but he would still enter it without hesitation, because the strange fire was too attractive to him...
"These are the only places I can help you, and I hope you succeed in getting the Alien Fire and then come back with the Sand Mandala. Looking at Xiao Yan, who had carefully put away the map, Hai Bodong smiled: "As for the prescription and the illusory map, allow me to keep it for a while longer, and when you come back, I will hand it all over to you!"
"Hmm. Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan arched his hand at Hai Bodong and said, "Since this is the case, then I will leave first, I am really sorry for making such a mess of the old gentleman here today." ”
His eyes swept over the mess, Hai Bodong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, anyway, my patience to live in seclusion here is about to run out, even if you don't smash here, I don't think I will be able to do it for long." ”
Smiling, Xiao Yan apologized again, then raised his hand at Hai Bodong, turned around and walked outside the door to move the martial arts.
Looking at Xiao Yan, who opened the door and slowly disappeared, Hai Bodong's eyes narrowed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and then began to clean up the mess in the house. The simple and simple shop door, raised his head, let the blazing sun in the sky pour on his face like boiling water, after a while, he exhaled lightly, this short two-hour experience, really made him have a dream-like feeling, just came to this desert city, casually entered a shop, actually met a reclusive strong man, this kind of bridge that generally only exists in books, it actually appeared in front of him alive, which had to make him sigh a little martial arts.
"Alas, you can meet a former Douhuang powerhouse with just one drill... Am I good luck or bad luck?" Laughing bitterly lightly, Xiao Yan exhaled and strode onto the street, his fingers gently touched the ring, and suddenly said casually in his heart: "Teacher, do you think he has any problems?"
"He's sealed, that's true, you want to ask if there's anything wrong with the map he gave, right? Hehe, after all, we're going to follow his map, and if he really has any conspiracy, we're going to really suffer some losses. Yao Lao smiled and said in a slight mutter: "But his map can indeed help us a lot, and I haven't been to the three flame symbols back then, so it's not easy to say whether it's true or false..."
"However, although it is impossible to determine whether he has bad intentions or not, it is necessary to guard against others... Once you enter the Tagor Desert, try to be careful, the route does not have to follow exactly what the map indicates, I have been wandering here for a while, so I can know a little bit so that you will not get lost. "Yao Lao is a little cautious.
"Hmm..." nodded slightly, Xiao Yan smiled: "Since that's the case, let's go and prepare other things later, and then rest in the city for the night, and enter the Tagor Desert early tomorrow morning." ”
"Hmm. Yao Lao nodded, and then fell silent.
Patting his robe with his palm, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, raised his leg and walked towards a medicinal herb shop not far away, today's harvest was far beyond his expectations, not only did he accidentally get a mysterious remnant picture, but also learned some news about the strange fire, which had to make Xiao Yan's heart full of excitement.
Walking along the street for a distance, Xiao Yan turned into a pharmacy, where he bought some snake-repellent drugs, when buying medicines, Xiao Yan also specially looked at the old man who sold the medicine carefully, until finally the old man looked a little frightened, he was embarrassed to pack things and walk out of the pharmacy, it seems that after the previous incident, Xiao Yan's nerves have been a little allergic, and he really thought that the kind of reclusive master similar to Hai Bodong was full of ...
After preparing the medicinal materials to repel snakes, Xiao Yan purchased a full water source in a place that specializes in selling clean water, and then he was satisfied with the passers-by and stayed in a high-end hotel in Mocheng.
As the night slowly passed, the blazing sun once again shrouded the desert in a fiery situation.
Walking out of the hotel, Xiao Yan stretched his waist and patted the ring on his finger, which contained fifty Hui Qi Pills that Yao Lao had refined overtime last night, these things were the necessary martial arts for his cultivation in the desert.
Standing on the street that was about to leave the city gate, Xiao Yan checked everything again, then tightened the weight ruler behind his back, which was almost the same length as his height, and then took a deep breath and began his desert journey...
"This time, we must find the strange fire!"
Under the awe-inspiring gaze of the soldiers defending the city, 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!
