The one-armed old man held the money bag in his arms tightly, feeling the heavy weight and the unique warm touch of the soul coin, and the ecstasy on his face could hardly be suppressed. He looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that the terrifying black-robed man had really left and that there was no one else around, he let out a long sigh of relief, but was immediately overwhelmed by the huge excitement.
"I've made it! I've made a damn fortune this time!" He cursed in a low voice, but his tone was full of ecstasy, and his eyes flashed with longing for the future, "Thirty thousand Gold Soul Coin! I want to find the most prosperous city and buy a big house."
He muttered excitedly, calling to his companions who were hiding behind the ore pile in the distance, who were also stunned by the huge sum of money, and were ready to leave this place of right and wrong immediately. As for what the man in black robe wanted to do with Bai Chenxiang, it was none of his business! With the money in hand, and the message sold, he just took the money and flew away to enjoy the glory and wealth!
Forgotten Gobi is a vast, dead land outside the western border of the Star Luo Empire. Here there is only an endless stretch of ocher red Rock that has been eroded by the wind into various strange shapes. The hot yellow sand flows between, and Rock, as if it can swallow everything. The scorching sun scorches the earth without any obstruction, the air is distorted by the high temperature, and as far as the field of vision can be seen, there is a blurry and shaking, despairing burnt yellow.
Kraken has been walking in this restricted area of life for seven days.
Forgotten Gobi, this place is really not for "human beings". Kraken stepped on the hot gravel and looked up at the sky. The scorching sun made people dizzy. After seven days, he was like a walking stone. I wandered around for seven days in this place where there was nothing but sand and stones. My perception was like a big net being cast out, and all I could get back was the dry hot wind, the noise of sand friction, and a few scorpions hiding in the cracks of the rocks that were about to be dried.
Nothing.
Not to mention Titled Douluo, not even a person was seen. Only the wind blew endlessly, carrying sand into your collar and sleeves, which was annoying. Kraken even began to wonder whether the old man was carrying I ran away with the money and randomly made up a place to fool him. However, the old man's Soul Power fluctuations and heartbeat at that time could not be faked. His fear of death and greed for money were both real. The message should be true, but... it has been too long.
He stood on the top of a tall red stone that was riddled with holes by the wind. Below was a more evil place. The sand looked like a giant with a skin disease, and there were pits everywhere that would "flow", making people uncomfortable to look at. This is "Quicksand Dead Sea".
"Bai Chenxiang..." Kraken muttered the name and frowned under the hood. Sharp-Tailed Swift is the fastest in the world. It is said that Soul Douluo can cross the continent by running for three days. What about Titled Douluo? Fifteen days is enough for her to fly from here to the ends of the earth and back, and she can also visit the continent next door.
"Tsk." Kraken uttered a short syllable, with a bit of self-deprecation. He was careless. He only thought that the piece of meat "Titled Douluo" was fat enough, but he forgot that the meat had wings, and the wings could flap. He forgot that the prey might not follow his path at all.
I lost 30,000 Gold Soul Coin, plus seven days, and a belly full of sand, so I bought a message saying "There is no three hundred taels of silver here". Kraken felt a little unhappy, as if he had been tricked by a fly. However, this discomfort soon dissipated. Although it was annoying that he was a hunter and he missed the trip, it was not worth wasting more emotions on it. Just pay attention next time.
He did not leave immediately, instead looking towards the slowly squirming sea of quicksand below. Bai Chenxiang had been here before and had a fight with something. But the traces of the fight, especially the traces of the fight with something that could make Titled Douluo take action seriously, may not be completely erased by the wind and sand.
Instead of chasing a gust of wind that has blown to who knows where, it is better to see what sand is stirred up and what stones are broken when the wind blows. Maybe you can dig out something else from that mess that is not as fast but equally "durable".
Thinking of this, the depression in Kraken's heart due to the wasted trip dissipated. He jumped down from the stone, his black robe spread out in the hot wind, like an ominous shadow, falling towards the dead quicksand that seemed to be able to swallow everything.
He stepped on the soft sand, and his senses no longer cast a wide-area net like before, but became more refined, like a needle, drilling deep into the sand and into the gaps of Rock, carefully smelling any unusual "smell" that might remain. Fighting always leaves some "smell", whether it's Soul Power, blood, or... something else.
At noon on the eighth day, Kraken stood on the top of a huge red rock wall with countless holes eroded by the wind. Below, there was an even weirder area - countless sand pits of different sizes. The quicksand in the sand pits slowly rotated, like silent giant mouths leading to the ground. Under the sand pits were complex underground cavities and undercurrents. Once trapped, even Soul Master would find it extremely difficult to escape.
Kraken Walking one foot deep and one foot shallow, the sand under your feet is soft and unsteady, and you always feel like there are countless mouths hidden underneath, ready to swallow you up at any time. The air is hot and stuffy, with a strange smell of sulfur and burnt stones.
He found something. There must have been a fight here. Kraken could feel it, and there was still a little bit of an almost clean smell floating in the air. It was as fast as the wind, with a bit of the whistling of birds. Soul Power, it should be Bai Chenxiang. The other one should be Soul Beast. It is estimated that at least Hundred-Thousand-Year is alive and hiding under the sandy seabed. There was a fight between the two sides. It seems that the direction of the trace is pointing outside the Gobi, so it must have left.
Kraken stood on the edge of the sand and thought for a while. Dig a nest for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? That thing is huddled in the ground. It is dirty and troublesome and probably has a bad "smell". Bai Chenxiang ran away, and the main target is gone. There is no need to make it smelly again.
He wrote down the clue of Soul Beast's "smell" Bai Chenxiang, which was temporarily broken. Kraken stood on the edge of the Gobi, looked back at the lifeless sand sea, and thought about it. Titled Douluo is not easy to find.
In the next few months, Kraken didn't go out to find anyone Titled Douluo. He was like an ordinary, somewhat capable solo Soul Master. Among the Star Luo Empire's "simple" people "Wandering around in the western and central provinces. Sometimes he would go to lively towns and taverns to sit and he never made any publicity, but his "Soul Douluo" cultivation and the occasional "accidentally" leaked Soul Bone were captured by extremely sensitive people.
