After walking leisurely for a long time, the map shop named "Gutu" appeared in everyone's sight. This shop was not as luxurious and flamboyant as other shops, and it had a faint hint of...

Simple atmosphere.

Walking into the store, the interior of the store is not too spacious. The faint light of the two moonstones illuminates the store quite brightly. My eyes scanned the interior of the store. There were not many people inside to buy maps, and it looked deserted.

, which made everyone wonder if they were in the wrong place.

Xia Mo's eyes rested on 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 had white hair, he was holding a black drawing pen.

The dry palms are still strong and steady.

Xia Mo knew that he was the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the top ten powerful men in the Jia Ma Empire. He was aloof and arrogant, and was extremely good at ice-based fighting spirit. He once froze an entire city in anger.

Among the powerful men, he is one of the few who fights against the emperor.

But now, because he broke into the Tagor Desert and took away this fragment of the map, he was chased by Queen Medusa, suffered a great loss at the hands of the other party, and received the sealing technique. Now his strength has been greatly reduced, and he can only

I can bear to hide in this desert city.

Hearing the commotion, Hai Bodong in the shop also put down his work, and then an old face appeared in the eyes of several people. There was a terrifying scar from the left cheek to the corner of the eye.

Although the old man's eyes were quite peaceful, this scar still gave him a faint sense of ferocity.

"Are you going to buy a map of the Tagore Desert?"

Haibodong asked everyone, his old voice flatly echoing in the room.

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Xiao Yan turned around, walked slowly to the counter, nodded with a smile, and said politely: "Old sir, can you give me the most accurate and detailed description of the desert?"

Map?"

"The items are on the counter. Choose yourself." Hai Bodong didn't stand up to introduce it. Instead, he just said lightly. He looked very unlike a businessman.

Seeing the old man's peculiar attitude, Xiao Yan was a little stunned, but he didn't say anything. After all, the world is a big place, and there are many weird people. He walked straight to the counter, holding it in his hand and looking over it with interest.

The clear route made him nod with satisfaction.

Xia Mo had long known that Hai Bodong had an eccentric temper, so he walked directly to a simple wooden frame in the corner of the shop.

This wooden frame is obviously old and full of rotten wood holes. On top of it, some yellowed maps are piled randomly. Judging from the signs of damage on the surface of these maps, it seems that they are failures in the production of maps.

.

He flipped through these yellowed maps casually with his palms. A faint musty smell came to his face. He frowned slightly. Xia Mo picked up a pile of failed works, shook his palms slightly, and picked up a map that was only the size of a palm.

The broken picture was released.

Looking at the mysterious routes on this yellowed picture, although Xia Mo still couldn't understand the mystery, he knew that this should be a fragment of the "Pure Lotus Demon Fire" map.

Holding the broken ancient picture in his hand, he carefully scanned the slightly familiar mysterious route on the picture.

After a while, Xia Mo slowly narrowed his eyes and murmured: "This should be it..."

Xia Mo turned around, walked slowly to the counter, spread out the ancient map fragment on his palm, and asked softly: "Old man, how much does this fragment of map cost?"

Xiao Yan and Zi Yan on the side came over curiously after hearing Xia Mo's words, and were a little surprised when they saw the broken picture in his hand.

Hearing Xia Mo's question, Hai Bodong, who had been drawing the map with concentration, his palms trembled unnoticeably, and the carefully drawn route showed a slight deviation.

Frowning slightly, Haibodong slowly raised his head and glanced at the broken map in Xia Mo's hand, but there was an inexplicable meaning in his muddy old eyes.

"Have you... seen fragments of this kind of map before?" His eyes swept over Xia Mo and looked at this young face. There was a hint of surprise in Hai Bodong's voice.

Hearing this, Xia Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "I have seen this kind of map fragment, and I also know what it is, and it is useless to you."

"Oh."

"Old sir, can you sell me this map now? I'm willing to pay a high price."

"Not for sale." The old man slowly lowered his head and focused his attention on the unfinished map again. Although his tone was plain, there was an unquestionable attitude.

Seeing that he was still rejected, Xia Mo's eyes gradually narrowed. No matter what, he was bound to get this fragment of the map. Not to mention that Hai Bodong was just a fighting spirit now, even if he was a real fighting emperor.

He must get it in his hands. Even if he doesn't use it, he should be able to cheat Xiao Yan with a mysterious pill in the future, and he plans to try to see if he can get some inheritance from the Pure Lotus Demon Saint...

Haibodong grabbed the residual map but his strength was eventually sealed, so he had been hiding in the Tagore Desert trying to understand the secrets of the residual map to help him break through the seal. Unfortunately, there was only a part of the residual map, and he gained nothing at all.
p>

In the end, he had no choice but to think of another way. While continuing to live in seclusion, he also used exquisite means to divide the remaining picture into two parts, without any trace of division being visible.

Xia Mo couldn't understand that the map left by a half-emperor would be divided by a fighting emperor. All he can say is that he is worthy of my brother Dong.

While Xia Mo's mind was churning with thoughts, Xiao Yan was also communicating with Yao Lao in his mind.

"Be careful, this old guy is not an ordinary person."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly said in his heart: "Teacher, this old man is weird, what about Xiaomo?"

"Well, according to my detection, this old guy's real strength should be at the Dou Huang level. However, he seems to be suppressed by some strange force. The strength in his body is now only about the Dou Ling strength. For Xiaomo, he should

It’s nothing.” Yao Lao said with great interest.

"Fighting Emperor?" His heart was shocked, and Xiao Yan lost his voice in his heart: "How is it possible? Among the top ten strong men in the Jiama Empire, only three are fighting emperors. Where did this person come from?

A strong warrior who came out?"

"How do I know... But the strong men you mentioned are only on the surface. The Jiama Empire is also a big empire. There are always many strong men who don't like to show up in public. Some strong men, even more

He has a lonely and eccentric temperament, so it’s not surprising that he came to the edge of the desert to sell maps, but I am interested in the residual map in Xiao Mo’s hand?" Yao Lao said casually.

"Little guy, don't think about my map. I don't care about money. Just grab your things and let's go. Also, don't think about robbing. It will do you no good." The old man waved his hand.

He said calmly, he didn't seem to be afraid of Xia Mo running away with the fragment in his hand.

Exhaling slowly, Xia Mo said: "I want not only this half, but also the other half. Moreover, it is really difficult to grab something in front of a strong man who was once a fighting emperor. But now,

It’s not certain who is older and who is younger! Besides, I didn’t say what I would exchange for you!”

"Click!" The slowly moving ink pen in his hand suddenly touched, and with a crisp sound, it suddenly broke.

The old man's eyes were fixed on the large black stain on the map. After a while, he raised his head and stared at Xia Mo. In his cloudy eyes, a faint chill gradually lingered.

"Boy, who are you?"

Haibodong tapped his palm somewhere on the table, and the open door closed with a bang. He stared at Xia Mo with sharp eyes, and a cold and tyrannical aura came from his body.

Spread out.
