Entering the Tagor Desert. Such petty tricks, and you dare show off before an expert

Showing off one's skills before an expert

"It should be just ahead!"

Wang Chen stood still, took out the simple map from his Storage Ring, and examined it carefully.

His target this time is the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, who appeared in the original story.

That Sixth-Order Magical Beast will definitely be of great help to Wang Chen's strength.

In this Magical Beast Mountain Range, the number of Tier 6 monsters is not particularly large.

After all, this is the Northwestern Continent, not the Central Plains.

Wang Chen naturally didn't want to let go of this rather impressive magical beast.

Fortunately, the name of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King is still quite famous in human territory.

This was also the only location of a Sixth-Order Magical Beast on that simple map.

"Arrive!"

With Wang Chen's strength and a general idea of the location, finding it shouldn't be too difficult.

Before long, Wang Chen arrived outside the territory of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"It's still there after all."

Relying on his powerful soul perception ability, Wang Chen easily detected the aura of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"Something seems off about the way it's breathing."

Wang Chen carefully sensed it and noticed something unusual.

However, he is still very confident in his current abilities.

Therefore, he did not waste any time and headed straight for the lair of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

The moment Wang Chen stepped into the lair, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King inside also sensed Wang Chen's presence.

Of course, the main reason is that Wang Chen didn't deliberately conceal himself; otherwise, a mere Sixth-Order Magical Beast would have absolutely no chance of detecting the concealment of the Spirit Realm Soul.

Wang Chen came here this time to test his skills against the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and hone his combat abilities.

There's naturally no need to conceal one's presence.

After all, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was able to make a name for itself in human territory, so its combat strength was quite impressive.

That's why Wang Chen chose to hone his combat skills against his opponent.

Otherwise, it would have been just an ordinary Sixth-Order Magical Beast, which wouldn't have had any effect on Wang Chen at all.

"Roar!!!"

A furious roar came directly from the lair.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King also charged out with that roar.

"Human! This is not a place for you!"

Standing at the entrance of the cave, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared.

However, despite its loud roar, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King lacked real confidence.

"That's way too weak!"

Wang Chen had sensed something was wrong before, but now that they were face to face, he understood the situation clearly.

The aura of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was only at the low- Tier 6.

This is completely inconsistent with the simple map markings and rumors circulating outside the human world.

Logically speaking, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King should be a Peak Sixth Tier magical beast.

Realizing that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's strength was not as formidable as rumored, Wang Chen naturally had no interest in fighting it.

So Wang Chen took out a Dou Zun- level Heavenly Demon Puppet from his Storage Ring, intending to end the battle quickly.

"Human, you!"

Sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from the Heavenly Demon Puppet, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's heart sank to the bottom.

"Move..."

Just as Wang Chen was about to give the order, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared again.

"Wait a minute."

"Human, I know I am doomed, but I want to entrust my offspring to you."

It hasn't hatched yet.

"As long as you take it away and train it, it will become an absolutely loyal Peak Sixth Tier fighter."

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King quickly voiced his thoughts.

After all, Wang Chen's Heavenly Demon Puppet was putting immense pressure on her.

There was absolutely no way to escape.

If it were just her alone, she would absolutely not mind fighting Wang Chen to the death.

Even if it doesn't cause any impact, as a Tier 6 king of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, she is absolutely not afraid of death.

But her child hadn't been born yet, and she didn't want her offspring to die young.

That's why she quickly voiced her request, hoping to exchange her life for the possibility of survival.

"Hmm? I see."

Upon hearing the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's request, Wang Chen finally understood why the other party's aura was so weak.

"However, I remember that the offspring of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King should not be born for several more years."

How come it's appeared now?

This is actually because Wang Chen was unaware of the reproductive situation of Warcraft.

The reproduction of monsters is unlike that of humans, who can give birth in ten months.

Monsters are generally born and require a period of time to hatch.

During this period, the monster parents will use various treasures to lay a solid foundation for their unhatched monsters.

Only in this way can they have a higher growth potential after hatching.

"Never mind."

Upon hearing the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's request, Wang Chen abandoned his idea of killing it.

In any case, while Sixth-Order Magical Beast are useful to Wang Chen, they are not indispensable.

He does things entirely based on his own mood and preferences.

Since the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King is in this situation, Wang Chen sees no need to kill it.

"For you."

Wang Chen took out a Lower Tier 6 recovery pill from his Storage Ring and tossed it to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

In any case, for Wang Chen, a mere Lower Tier 6 recovery pill was nothing at all.

After throwing the pill away, Wang Chen prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

"You entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range to hunt high-level monsters, right?"

I know the location of the three Sixth-Order Magical Beasts.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing the words of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Wang Chen also stopped.

Give up one Sixth-Order Magical Beast, and gain three tier -Sixth-Order Magical Beast.

This deal was very profitable.

Although he spared the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, he had no intention of doing business with it.

However, if there are any unexpected gains, that would be very good.

Afterwards, Wang Chen made a deal with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and then left.

As for accepting the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Wang Chen had no interest in that.

After all, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was of no use to Wang Chen.

Staying would only be a burden.

As for why the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did not request to follow, that is quite normal.

After all, the abilities Wang Chen displayed far exceeded the knowledge of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

She was of no use to Wang Chen, so naturally she wouldn't waste her breath with unnecessary words.

Having grown up in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, one might not be exceptionally intelligent, but they certainly possess basic knowledge and experience.

After obtaining the specific coordinates, Wang Chen immediately rushed over.

This time, however, nothing unexpected happened.

Three mere Sixth-Order Magical Beast could not possibly have any effect on Wang Chen.

Without wasting much time, Wang Chen obtained three Sixth-Rank Beast Flame and three Sixth-tier Magic Core.

"Ah! I've finally made it out."

Looking at the golden aura ahead, Wang Chen couldn't help but sigh.

After another month, Wang Chen emerged from the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

The rolling yellow sand ahead clearly indicated that Wang Chen had already entered the Tagor Desert.

Upon entering the Tagor Desert, Wang Chen's first impression was the intense heat all around him.

However, for Wang Chen, a Dou Emperor with a fire attribute, the scorching aura not only had no effect, but actually made him feel more comfortable.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen stepped directly into the desert.

With his current strength, he naturally wouldn't worry about attacks in the desert.

Wang Chen quickened his pace, heading towards the city where Ice Emperor Hai Bodong was currently hiding.

After all, having a general map makes it easier to find the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Following the map he had initially purchased, Wang Chen headed towards Mo City.

Wang Chen walked slowly across the desert. This feeling, so different from before, prevented Wang Chen from using his Battle Qi Wings to fly.

Anyway, his purpose in going out this time was to travel and explore various parts of the Northwestern Continent and broaden his horizons.

Since it was my first time seeing a desert, there was no need to rush.

Of course, it was only novel at the very beginning.

After a day of walking, Wang Chen lost that sense of novelty.

After all, there were no companions traveling together on this Tagor Desert.

It was incredibly boring.

Therefore, after walking for a day, Wang Chen also gave up the idea of traveling entirely on foot.

Relying on its own Battle Qi Wings, it sped towards the Mo City where Ice Emperor Hai Bodong was hiding.

Wang Chen, who was traveling at full speed, was naturally moving very fast.

Furthermore, Wang Chen would occasionally use the Heavenly Demon Puppet to accelerate his speed, allowing himself to rest for a while.

This allowed Wang Chen to travel much faster.

Even though Wang Chen was traveling with only the weakest Heavenly Demon Puppet, its speed was still slightly faster than Wang Chen's.

Therefore, in less than two days, Wang Chen arrived at the outskirts of Mo City.

"We've finally arrived."

After landing, Wang Chen looked at the city gate of Mo City and sighed.

Traveling alone in the Tagor Desert for two consecutive days was indeed incredibly boring.

It's because Wang Chen used to frequently go into seclusion for extended periods; otherwise, he might not have been able to endure this sense of loneliness.

"They're gone!"

With a shout in his heart, Wang Chen quickly walked into the Mo City.

He also wanted to explore the city thoroughly and see how it differed from other places in the Tagor Desert.

After entering the Mo City, Wang Chen first went to a restaurant and found a seat in the lobby.

No matter where you are, the lobby of a restaurant is always the first and most valuable place to gather information from the public.

Wang Chen came here, naturally, also for intelligence.

After ordering a few simple local specialties, Wang Chen easily obtained the information he wanted from the waiter.

After enjoying the delicious food, Wang Chen left the restaurant and began to stroll around Mo City.

After all these years, he really hasn't had time to relax and stroll around a city properly.

As for the map in the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong store, that thing isn't going to get lost.

Wang Chen doesn't need to rush.

After spending a whole day exploring Mo City and buying things he needed or that caught his eye, Wang Chen went to a hotel to rest for the night.

The next day, Wang Chen got up early and finally got down to business.

This is it.

Upon arriving at Ice Emperor Hai Bodong's map shop, Wang Chen pushed open the door and went inside.

The area inside isn't particularly large, and there aren't many maps.

As for customers who actually made purchases, there weren't a single one.

Wang Chen was the first customer to arrive today.

However, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong remained reclined in his chair, showing no intention of getting up.

They don't act like they're running a business at all.

Seeing this, Wang Chen couldn't help but complain.

"If I didn't know you were Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, I wouldn't have even come in with this attitude."

Looking at Hai Bodong, who was still lounging like an old man, Wang Chen's eyes lit up and an idea came to him.

"Knock knock."

Wang Chen strode to the counter and tapped it twice with his hand.

At this moment, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong reluctantly opened his eyes and glanced at Wang Chen.

His eyes showed some dissatisfaction, and he spoke directly.

"Kid, don't you know it's very impolite to disturb an elderly person's rest?"

"If you don't have a good reason, I'll have to reason with you today."

Hai Bodong spoke calmly, but he emphasized the word "reason" with particular emphasis.

Hai Bodong is in a very bad mood right now.

He wasn't a particularly good-tempered person to begin with, and then there was the seal placed on him by Queen Medusa.

This led to him, a powerful Dou Emperor) expert, being relegated to selling maps in this small desert town.

Over the years, his temper has gotten even worse.

Therefore, he was extremely dissatisfied with Wang Chen for disturbing his rest.

Just as he was about to teach Wang Chen a lesson and vent his frustration, Wang Chen spoke up.

"Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong."

Five words, and the voice wasn't loud.

But to Hai Bodong, it sounded like a thunderclap.

The Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who had been lying down, immediately flipped over and leaped up, striking Wang Chen with a palm.

The icy chill emanating from his palms was enough to show that Hai Bodong wasn't joking; he was going all out.

The terrifying cold caused the temperature in the entire map shop to drop significantly.

However, upon seeing this palm strike, Wang Chen smiled disdainfully.

"A mere trifle of skill, yet you dare to show off your meager abilities before an expert."

Wang Chen thrust out a palm strike with his backhand, the violent fiery power causing the temperature inside the map shop to soar.

The ice that Ice Emperor Hai Bodong had condensed was also quickly melted.

"Bang!"

Their palms collided. Wang Chen didn't move an inch, while Hai Bodong was sent flying and crashed into the wall.

Even if Ice Emperor Hai Bodong were at his peak, he wouldn't be a match for Wang Chen now.

Not to mention that he was still sealed away by Queen Medusa.

He couldn't unleash his full potential, and was no match for Wang Chen.

After crashing into the wall, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

However, his injuries were not serious; they were only minor.

However, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong did not get up and continue to attack.

After that brief exchange, he already knew very well that he was no match for Wang Chen.

"I didn't expect to be found after all."

Tell me, who are you? What grudge do we have?

"Let me die knowing why."

Lying on the ground, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong asked Wang Chen a question.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen smiled slightly.

"Enmity? We have no enmity."

"So that means earning bounties?"

"I'm not a bounty hunter."

"Then what exactly do you want from me?"

"I only came to you to buy a map."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong's face instantly turned pale and then ashen.

He was internally screaming, "Buy a map! Why didn't you say so earlier?! Are you trying to scare me to death?!"

At this moment, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong felt as if ten thousand alpacas were trampling through his heart.

If he weren't so bad at dealing with Wang Chen, he really would have liked to give Wang Chen a few beatings right now.

After all, he didn't have a particularly good temper back then, so he naturally offended quite a few people.

Having the power back then, he naturally wasn't afraid of retaliation.

However, he later suffered a severe attack and was sealed away by Queen Medusa.

Unable to fully utilize his strength, he could only hide quietly in this small desert town.

He dared not contact anyone from the past, for fear that his enemies would find out about his situation and come looking for revenge.

It can be said that he has lived a rather cautious and apprehensive life over the years.

Today, a stranger suddenly showed up at the door and immediately revealed his identity.

Hai Bodong's first thought was naturally that his enemy had come knocking on his door.

Therefore, without even thinking, he took action.

However, Wang Chen's strength was extraordinary, and he was no match for him at all. He was knocked away and injured in one move.

I thought I was going to die today.

But to everyone's surprise, things took an unexpected turn.

Wang Chen wasn't an enemy at all; he was just there to buy a map.

"Damn it! You had to reveal my identity just to buy a map."

"Can't I buy it without revealing my identity?!"

Hai Bodong kept his grievances to himself, afraid to utter them for fear of angering Wang Chen, a master whose identity he did not know.

Who would want to die if they could live?

Hai Bodong stood up from the ground and dusted off his clothes.

What kind of map do you want to buy?

If I have it here, I'll just give it to you.

Consider it a gift that helped us become friends despite our initial misunderstanding.

Hai Bodong said this, but what he really wanted was to get rid of Wang Chen, this plague god, as soon as possible.

It's just a few maps; he can afford to give them away.

"I don't need much, just two maps."

First, there's the map you drew that roughly shows the location of the Heavenly Flames in the Tagor Desert."

"Okay. I'll get it to you right away."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's first request, Hai Bodong agreed without hesitation.

He quickly took out the map he had drawn from his Storage Ring.

"These are the places I deduced are most likely to contain the Heavenly Flames, the locations I highlighted."

Hai Bodong handed the map to Wang Chen and then gave a special explanation to avoid Wang Chen blaming him if he couldn't understand the map.

This map took him a lot of effort to create.

However, if you can draw the first one, you can naturally draw the second one as well.

Compared to expending a little effort, it's more important to get rid of Wang Chen, this plague.

"Secondly, I want the rest of this Fragmented Map you have."

With a wave of his hand, Wang Chen sent a small, Fragmented Map from the map shelf flying into his hand.

Wang Chen waved at Hai Bodong and said calmly.

"This..."
