Chapter 144 Han Feng, Soul Palace
On the pitch-black plain, a motorcade brought up a faint wisp of dust, quickly passed by, and finally disappeared from sight.
In the slightly bumpy car, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan sat cross-legged. In front of them was the person in charge of the caravan named Doma. The guards of this caravan were not very Strong, the strongest among them seems to be around the level of a five-star fighting master.
Of course, as the captain of the guard who was originally hired by Doma, that guy was naturally a little unhappy with the sudden joining of the two brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, but after being inadvertently shown by Xiao Yuan, After being frightened into a cold sweat by the Dou Master level aura, he immediately changed his face and became much more respectful.
Doma even directly invited the two of them into the carriage and entertained them well. After all, in this situation where there is the danger of being robbed everywhere, it would really make people feel at ease if there are strong people in the carriage. Quite a few.
As for Xiao Yan's strength, he is not worried either. After all, no one in the Black Corner Territory will bring a drag bottle with him, but all those who form a combination are people of similar strength.
Xiao Yuan’s strength is very strong, so Xiao Yan’s strength will not be bad either.
At this time, Doma was taking out a yellowed map from his arms, slowly spreading it on the table in front of him, pointing to a red dot with his finger, and said with a smile:
"This is our destination, Black Seal City. According to our speed, we should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon. The annual auction will be held there the day after tomorrow, so I need to strengthen the escort force and rush there as soon as possible. That’s why we specially invited these two gentlemen to guard us!”
“Auction meeting?” Hearing this, both Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were moved. The most attractive thing in this Black Corner Domain is Those astonishing wonders attract countless people to compete for them in every auction.
Then, the two of them focused their eyes on the yellowed map. Their eyes stayed on the small dot of Black Seal City for a while, and then they followed a route slowly up, and finally saw the small spot in the center. position of a blue star.
“This should be Canaan College, right?” Xiao Yuan glanced at the blue stars and asked casually without any change on his face.
"Well, that's the Canaan Academy, which is famous in Dou Qi Continent, and my daughter is in it, haha."
Doma nodded, and when he mentioned his daughter, his fat face There was a little pride on his face.
Xiao Yuan nodded silently, then scanned it carefully, memorizing the entire map in just a few seconds.
Xiao Yan, who was on the side, glanced at the black area outside Canaan College. Those black areas were divided into several sections of different sizes.
"The current "Black Corner Territory" has basically been divided up by some powerful forces. Although they are still fighting for territory, there should be no changes in a short period of time. "It's very big."
Looking at Xiao Yan's eyes, Doma, as a businessman, naturally understood some of his doubts, although he could also guess that these two people should be newcomers to the Black Corner Territory. , but as smart as he is, he understands that although these two guys have just arrived, they will definitely become famous in the Black Corner Territory in the future! For such a strong man, there was no need for him to make himself unhappy, so he explained in a very sensible way.
"The "Black Seal City" we are going to is under the jurisdiction of the "Eight Gates". This "Eight Gates" is a veteran force in the Black Corner Region and is extremely powerful. It is said that their leader Yuan Yi's strength is even able to rank among the top ten on the black list of the Black Corner Region, and this time the auction meeting in Black Seal City is hosted by their "Eight Gates""
Doma's fingers are on the Black Seal He drew a small circle around the city and said with a smile.
"Black list?" The unfamiliar words made Xiao Yan slightly stunned, and he murmured in a low voice.
"Haha, this black list is no different from some of the empire's strong ranking lists, but the competitiveness of the black list here is far beyond those of the empire's strong rankings, because only in In less than two years, the last three on the black list have been directly replaced. It is said that the three replaced are also strong men at the level of Dou Wang."
Doma Yao He shook his head and said with some emotion.
“As expected of the Black Corner Territory, it’s quite chaotic.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.
"Who are the top ones on the black list? How strong are they?"
Xiao Yan on the side asked softly, with a little curiosity in his voice.
“The first and second ranked ones are too mysterious and only a few people have seen them, so I don’t know much about them. However, the third ranked one is actually an extremely strong man. It is said that His strength has long been at the peak of Dou Huang, and he is also extremely proficient in alchemy. He can be called the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region, so most people respectfully call him the 'Medicine King'."
Doma pondered for a moment. Finally, he said slowly.
"Medicine Emperor? This nickname is really quite meaningful." Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said, "What is his real name?"
"Well, let me think about it, it seems... it's called Han Feng." Duo Ma shook his head and said with a smile.
“Chi!”
Just after Duoma said these words, Xiao Yan’s fingers hidden in his sleeves suddenly trembled violently. On the black ring on his finger, it turned out to be He couldn't help but burst out some wild white flames, and finally caused a small hole to be burned through the car panel where the finger dropped.
The sudden change in the ring also made Xiao Yan's face change slightly, but fortunately it was covered by his sleeves, so Doma opposite did not notice this change.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yan gently touched the dark ring with his fingers and whispered in his heart. The previous abnormal movement of the ring was obviously due to the sudden emotional turmoil of the Yao Lao in it.
Xiao Yan's question did not receive an answer. At this time, Yao Lao seemed to have fallen completely silent.
Feeling the complete silence of Yao Lao, Xiao Yan wisely did not ask any more questions, but he firmly remembered the name Han Feng in his heart. This person, perhaps It is closely related to the former Yao Lao.
"Mr. Black Robe, are you okay?" Seeing the sudden change in Xiao Yan's face, Doma across from him couldn't help but said a little uneasily.
"It's okay." Xiao Yan smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly he noticed a commotion outside the carriage. A series of exclamations came into the carriage: "Everyone, pay attention, the black storm is coming, hurry up Prepare to park! Be careful not to lose your way."
"Black storm? What a bad luck, we met again." Hearing the exclamation outside, Doma's expression changed slightly, but it wasn't true. Extremely panicked, he said to Xiao Yan: "Two gentlemen, let's get out of the car first. As long as we take good protection, this kind of black storm, which is not too big, will not cause much danger."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan opened the car curtain and jumped out. He looked up and found that the sky was clear ten minutes ago, but now it was covered by a strange black mist. Looking forward, his sight was He was so hindered, no wonder Doma would say that if he encounters a black storm, even if he has a map, it will be of no use!
But right now, he still cares more about other things.
Han Feng, his and Xiao Yan’s senior brother, was a disloyal person who stabbed Yao Lao in the back.
There are a lot of good things in this guy’s Najie!
We have to find a way to kill this beast.
"Haha, gentlemen, don't worry. I felt the wind direction, and it's not very strong. This can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes." Duoma smiled beside Xiao Yan: "Although Black Storm is a black plain, The most depressing weather, but compared with those brutal black bandits, it is much better. At least, if you are lucky enough to survive a black storm, you can still save your life. But when the thousands of black bandits are foreseen, I am afraid that We can only sit back and wait for death."
"Thousands of people?" Xiao Yuan came back to his senses after hearing this.
This endless plain is not conducive to setting up an ambush, and the movement of a large group of people cannot be concealed. How can the army of black bandits gather so many people to rob a caravan?
It always feels weird.
But before he could say anything else, the already dark sky turned completely dark in an instant. Then, the howling wind suddenly swept down from the sky. Suddenly, some smaller people were blown completely by the strong wind. The people's bodies swayed, and they were so frightened that they quickly grabbed everything around them.
The convoys connected to each other were arranged in a circle connected end to end, and everyone hid in them. The weapons in their hands were inserted into the ground, fixing their bodies like nails.
The invisible darkness enveloped everyone. Amidst the howling wind, no one could feel the presence of anyone around them.
Half-kneeling on the ground, Xiao Yan inserted the Xuanzhong ruler into the ground, and then hid his body behind the wide ruler. Hearing the crackling sound of the strong wind blowing on the ruler, his expression also changed. There were slight changes. I didn't expect that this so-called black storm would be so strong. And this was still the small storm that Doma said. If it encountered a bigger storm, wouldn't it be able to sweep people away directly?
Immediately afterwards, he noticed that someone seemed to be pulling at his feet?
Looking down again, he was surprised to find that it was Xiao Yuan who was half buried in the earth, pulling him down with him.
Without any thought or hesitation, Xiao Yan gave up resistance and allowed his third brother to pull him down.
With most of his body sinking into the earth, Xiao Yan, who was leaning against the Xuanzhong Ruler, suddenly felt that the wind force of the black storm had become much smaller.
He was about to speak when he saw Xiao Yuan's eyes staring at his side and behind him, so he turned around and looked over.
There, some strange red lights flashed, accompanied by vague sounds.
Xiao Yuan signaled Xiao Yan not to act rashly, and then used Ting Feng Yin. After a moment, he squinted his eyes and immediately sent a message to Xiao Yan:
"It's a fighting spirit level soul body. A strange guy was chasing him. He claimed to be a member of the Soul Palace, who specializes in hunting down souls. "
"Soul Palace?"
Xiao Yan murmured to himself in confusion. road.
“Have the minions of the Soul Palace extended to the Black Angle Domain?”
At this time, Yao Lao's voice also sounded in their hearts.
“Teacher?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan asked in his heart.
“Hey, I originally wanted to wait until you have gained a certain level of strength before telling you about this. Now that we have just met, I might as well tell you guys in advance.
I The situation we are in today has a lot to do with the Soul Palace, which is an extremely terrifying and huge force. They have special means to deal with the soul body. In addition, the soul body cannot use fighting energy. It is said that the most fearful person for the soul body is the person who encounters the Soul Palace
Some soul bodies that possess strange flames and have refined them into natal flames are better off. When I first met the people in the "Soul Palace", I relied on the cold fire of the bone spirit to escape smoothly. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would end up It's almost the same as the guy just now.
But you don’t have to worry about it now. As long as I show up less often, they won’t be able to find our location in a short time. So what you need to do now is to try your best to avoid us when they find me. , improve your own strength! Otherwise, that person from before is a lesson learned. Unless I return to my former strength, even if I am not weak now, it will be difficult to deal with some strong men in the Soul Palace. "
When talking about the Soul Palace, Yao Lao's voice became much more solemn. Obviously, Yao Lao is also extremely wary of this power.
"Teacher, don't worry, we will work hard to practice. of. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan said together.
"By the way, we may be able to stay in Black Seal City for a day. The auction there should have the things we need. However, do you two have enough money? In the Black Corner Territory, it is almost impossible to have money without money. It’s difficult to move forward.”
Yao Lao smiled happily after hearing this, and then asked.
“Well, it seems there are still hundreds of thousands of gold coins, right?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned and said slowly.
“I still have more than two million.”
Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"Hundreds of thousands" Yao Lao was speechless and said helplessly: "I'm afraid two million is a bit too little. What are you doing with these hundreds of thousands?"
He scratched his head in embarrassment. Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and said: "If it really doesn't work, buy some medicinal materials to refine the elixirs and sell them for auction. I've never heard of an alchemist being short of money."
"Haha, don't forget to buy the medicine. Ding, it’s better to buy a better one this time, otherwise you’ll have to blow up the furnace again when making alchemy.”
Xiao Yuan on the side said with a joking smile.
"Oh, that's true!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan also shook his head with a headache. For things like blowing up the furnace, one time is enough!
"The storm seems to be stopping."
As Xiao Yuan said, his body was like a loach, and he got out of the soil. Then he pulled Xiao Yan out and stepped lightly on the ground. , restoring the two potholes under their feet to their original appearance.
The effect of the earth-attributed earth-level technique is quite good. Small means like this are just a trivial side effect of the technique.
Soon, a weak ray of sunlight shot into the darkness, the originally dark sky regained its light, and the strong wind completely dissipated.
The two returned to the carriage again and continued on their way.
