Xiao Cheng The three of them were walking in the desert. He suddenly looked at Haibodong and asked curiously.
"By the way, Elder Hai, how did you get your cultivation level sealed by Queen Medusa, can you tell me?"
Hearing Xiao Cheng's words, Haibodong smiled bitterly.
"This is not a secret that cannot be told. Let me start from the beginning."
"After I participated in the empire's strong competition, I came to this Tagor Desert, but I accidentally got a fragment of the map, but it caused Queen Medusa's trouble. You must know that Queen Medusa is the emperor of the Snake People Tribe, and is also the top strongman in the ranking of Dou Emperor's strength."
At this time Xiao Cheng suddenly interrupted and asked.
"Queen Medusa is probably chasing you for the information in the residual image in your hand."
Haibodong nodded.
"Yes, I was defeated in that battle without any surprise, and she gave me Serpent Seal Curse. Not only did my body gradually age, but my strength was also sealed at the Dou Ling level."
"So that's it, then why are you willing to be a map vendor here?"
This is the question that Xiao Cheng wants to ask the most.
Seeing Xiao Cheng ask this, he also smiled helplessly.
"The reason why I have been hiding here all these years is actually to study the secret of this residual map and find a way to lift my seal. But no matter how I study it, this is only a small part of the map."
After listening to Haibodong's story, Xiao Cheng was also quite emotional.
It is really sad that the generation Dou Huang expert ended up like this.
Suddenly, Xiao Cheng seemed to think of something and continued to ask.
"I think you must have found a way to solve the seal in your body after living in seclusion for more than 20 years."
"Haha, you are right, kid. After decades, I finally found a Elixir Formula. I just need to gather enough materials and find an alchemist with at least Sixth-grade Alchemist level to refine it."
In fact, Xiao Cheng knew about the Elixir Formula that Haibodong was talking about, but he didn't know the specific medicinal materials of Elixir Formula, so he simply asked directly.
"If I didn't come to find you, you would probably have to live in seclusion here."
Xiao Cheng's words made Haibodong fall into silence, and finally sighed silently.
"Maybe"
There was a hint of loneliness and sadness in his tone.
But at this time Xiao Cheng smiled and said carelessly.
"Don't be so pessimistic. There is no problem that cannot be solved here. Don't worry, there will be a way to solve your current problem."
"I said I would trust you for the time being, so I will stay with you for a while, just as being your bodyguard for a while."
These words were spoken very calmly, and no other emotions could be heard at all.
"Okay, it seems I got a big deal."
Although he said this, Xiao Cheng had other plans in mind.
Just Xiao Wu and Dou Zong powerhouses can restrain Ruyi Zhai, but Xiao Wu cannot always stay in the store, and will go out with him when necessary, so he must find a guard.
Now there happens to be a strong person who comes to your door for free. Don't give it up, but you still need a suitable time to attract Haibodong to join the store.
We can only take one step at a time.
Then he changed the subject and asked.
"By the way, the elixir on Elixir Formula is of a certain grade. It should be no less than Fifth-grade Pill."
Haibodong nodded.
"Sixth-Grade Pill"
Sixth-Grade Pill did not surprise Xiao Cheng. He also knew that this type of elixir was difficult to refine and required a high level of skill, but the old man should have collected most of the medicinal materials.
"Elder Hai, you should have collected most of the medicinal materials."
Xiao Cheng's words made Haibodong look helpless.
"I have collected most of the medicinal materials over the years, but there is still one missing."
This difference should be the Sand Mandala that Xiao Yan was looking for in the original plot.
But he couldn't say the name directly, so he asked.
"What is it?"
"This medicinal material is called Sand Mandala. It is only in Tagor Desert. The higher the temperature, the easier it is to find it. But now I am sealed by Queen Medusa. Once I walk in..."
Although he hasn't finished speaking, Xiao Cheng knows that once Haibodong walks into Tagor Desert, it is estimated that Queen Medusa will definitely find him by following the breath of the seal and press for information about the residual map.
"Don't worry, although this Elixir Formula can help you restore your cultivation, there is nothing I can't solve with one pastry. If it can't be solved with one, then two pastries."
This tone was very firm and made Haibodong even more convinced.
At first, Xiao Cheng's promise was just a show of promise, and he was still suspicious. However, after chatting with Xiao Cheng for a while, he felt that this young man didn't seem to have any other intentions towards him and really wanted to help him.
That's why he gradually let go of his doubts and chose to completely believe his words.
Thinking of the broken picture, Haibodong reached into his arms and took out the broken picture and handed it to Xiao Cheng and said.
"This residual picture may or may not be useful to me, so I give it to you. I hope you can unlock the secrets in it."
Looking at the broken picture handed over by Haibodong, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
What's going on? Just give me the residual picture of Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. The key is that it's useless if you give it to me.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he could make a deal with Xiao Yan. I believe he would like this residual picture. To be precise, Old Yao would like it very much.
"Okay, then I'll accept it."
He took the broken picture and threw it into his personal backpack.
Suddenly, there seemed to be something in the yellow sand in front of Xiao Cheng.
Haibodong frowned and said.
"Be careful, this is a kind of monster called Yellow Sand Scorpion. This kind of monster often hides under the yellow sand, waiting for people to step on it, and they only need to wait to release venom to people."
All he saw was Haibodong condensed into a Ice Crystal Longsword and inserted into the yellow sand in front of him. A trace of bright red blood appeared. With his upward move, the body of a small monster was lifted up.
Looking at the corpse of this monster, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
"It is indeed quite insidious. If the soul's perception was not stronger, it would probably be difficult to detect it."
"Yes, as long as the soul's perception is stronger, you can basically sense their existence. These Yellow Sand Scorpion often attack people. Even people who walk in the desert all year round are inevitably attacked. They are the most difficult monsters in the desert."
After hearing what Haibodong said, Xiao Cheng nodded and then smiled.
"It seems that we have to pay more attention along the way. I don't want to be attacked by this scorpion."
It's just that Xiao Cheng couldn't help but notice these scorpions. At this time, the system's prompt tone came to mind again.
The prompt sound came very suddenly, but the smile on Xiao Cheng's face froze for a moment. Then he subconsciously looked at Haibodong's face and found that nothing strange about him was found. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and opened his personal interface to check.
Leisure mission: Are you lonely or bored during this promotional journey? Let's start hunting scorpions. Before reaching Stone Desert City, please use the sledgehammer provided by the system to kill six Yellow Sand Scorpion. I'm optimistic about you!
Quest Reward: Mysterious little gift box (you can get what you want!)
Quest Failure: The host will receive the venom package Quest Time: It must be completed within today. After reading the details of this task, black lines appeared on his face.
You actually want him to fight scorpions, system, do you think this is a game? However, the reward from the system piqued his interest a little. Could it be that the mysterious gift box contains items that can cure the Haibodong seal? That would be a big deal.
Then Xiao Cheng felt a fighting spirit surge in his heart, and he thought for a while and said to Haibodong.
"Um...Elder Hai, I want to trouble you with something?"
"What's the matter?"
Haibodong looked at Xiao Cheng in confusion.
"Can you help me find six Yellow Sand Scorpion? I can use them."
He was immediately confused when he heard that the favor Xiao Cheng wanted him to do was to find six Yellow Sand Scorpion.
However, after reacting, he said with a surprised expression.
"Are you sure you want to find six Yellow Sand Scorpion?"
Xiao Cheng nodded, mentally greeting the system thousands of times, because just now he discovered that the sledgehammer given by the system was actually the cute Meow Meow Hammer.
What does this mean? Something is going to happen.
But on the surface Xiao Cheng still had to pretend as if nothing had happened, and took out the hammer when Haibodong wasn't paying attention.
After sighing inwardly, I followed Haibodong to hunt scorpions.
