Su Yun felt the energy in the air, a scorching heat emanating from it.
Here, at the border between the Tallgor Great Desert and the Jia Ma Empire, the dry and hot air was quite normal.
The Martial Qi within Su Yun's body was also somewhat active, indicating just how hot this Tallgor Great Desert was.
The Snake People Clan, inherently yin in nature, would find it difficult to endure this desert, except for a few fire-attribute snake people like Medusa.
Especially the weaker snake people, who would find it even harder.
Su Yun licked his dry lips and took out a water bag from his Storage Ring. After flying for so long and arriving in such a scorching place, he couldn't help but feel thirsty.
These surrounding empires were truly ruthless, driving the Snake People Clan to such a place. It was no wonder they had become sworn enemies.
Su Yun shook his head. These matters had nothing to do with him; he only cared about how he and the Little Medical Fairy were doing.
Su Yun took a step forward, heading towards Mocheng.
As Su Yun approached, the number of passersby around him gradually increased.
The people here were different from those in the Jia Ma Empire, most notably in their skin.
The men were mostly bare-chested, with dark skin and well-built muscles.
It made sense, as this place was not as peaceful as the inner regions of the Jia Ma Empire. Snake people often appeared in the vicinity, and those who dared to live here were mostly capable.
The women's skin tended to be a bronze hue, and they dressed lightly, though not as bare-chested as the men.
Their flat abdomens and sexy collarbones were mostly exposed, exuding an exotic charm.
A game character from his previous life flashed through Su Yun's mind.
Leopard Woman...
Su Yun walked to the city gate, where a dozen or so armored soldiers were collecting entry fees from those entering the city.
Their attitude was very aggressive.
Su Yun gave them a faint glance and continued on his way.
At this moment, one of the soldiers noticed Su Yun, his face showing a defiant expression as he approached.
"Hey, you there! Can you hear me!"
The soldier's attitude was extremely rude, reaching out to grab Su Yun's shoulder.
Su Yun slightly turned his head, and a formidable aura radiated from his body!
Instantly, both the guards collecting entry fees and the passersby were intimidated by Su Yun's aura, their gazes drawn to him.
The guard who had just tried to grab Su Yun was completely frightened.
This aura belonged to a Spirit Fighter!
Su Yun's eyes, which showed no emotion, made the guard's scalp tingle. Despite the scorching heat of Mocheng, he felt an icy chill.
"What did you just say?"
At this moment, Su Yun spoke, breaking the tense silence.
"N-nothing..."
The guard dared not breathe heavily, stammering his response.
"Oh, did I hear something about an entry fee just now?"
"N-no, you can go in directly."
The guard moved his stiff body, his face showing a bitter expression.
Seemingly closer to the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, Su Yun's mood was quite good, and he even made a joke.
"Hehe, I still prefer your defiant and unyielding attitude."
With that, Su Yun walked into the city on his own.
After Su Yun left, the guards let out a collective sigh of relief, clearly having been frightened.
Mocheng was located on the border of the Jia Ma Empire, and for this reason, many people were unwilling to live here.
Therefore, the city welcomed human strong individuals.
If they, as mere guards, drove away such a Spirit Fighter, their superiors would likely punish them severely.
As for the entry fee, in this world, strong individuals always had various privileges.
Su Yun entered the city and frowned, realizing it would take some effort to find a map shop.
He stopped a passerby on the street to ask for directions. Just as the passerby was about to lose his patience and react, Su Yun revealed his aura, pressing down on him, and the passerby immediately became compliant.
"Take me to the map shop in Mocheng."
The passerby's heart sank, but he could only obediently lead the way.
The passerby led Su Yun to a map shop.
Su Yun first made the passerby wait at the shop entrance, warning him to be careful if he wasn't there when Su Yun came out.
Entering the shop and scanning with the system, he found that the shop owner was not Hai Bo Dong. He then went out and had the passerby lead him to the next shop.
After visiting several shops, he still couldn't find Hai Bo Dong.
Su Yun couldn't help but curse. Damn it, Xiao Yan found him right away, but why can't I find even a trace after searching for so long?
Feeling helpless, Su Yun finally found a quaint map shop after wandering for some time.
Su Yun entered the shop and saw an old man.
Su Yun narrowed his eyes. Although the old man had white hair and seemed frail, Su Yun could sense that his Martial Qi was not weak.
Su Yun moved closer.
"System, scan!"
"Ding, scan successful."
Name: Hai Bo Dong
Gender: Male
Cultivation: Five-Star Soul Emperor
Constitution: None
Attribute: Ice
Martial Technique: High-Grade Rank 4 'Cold Shadow Technique'
Dou Techniques: Low-Rank Earth-Class 'Ten Thousand Flower Ice Mirror', High-Rank Black-Class 'Ice Blade Storm'...
Items: Fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map, Storage Ring...
Seeing Hai Bo Dong's information, Su Yun felt a surge of joy. He had found him.
Then Su Yun frowned at the cultivation level.
Five-Star Soul Emperor? Is this the system scanning his original strength?
Thinking of the previous display of the Old Medicine's peak Nine-Transformations Soul Venerable, Su Yun felt more at ease.
It seemed this system was indeed capable, showing the peak cultivation level instead of the current one.
Su Yun wasn't intimidated by the title of Soul Emperor. The current Hai Bo Dong's cultivation was sealed by Medusa, leaving him with only the strength of a Spirit Fighter.
Su Yun slowly left the shop.
He returned to the passerby who had been guiding him and took out a First-Class Healing Medicine from his Storage Ring, throwing it to him.
"Scram."
The passerby caught the jade bottle, eyes wide open. Upon hearing Su Yun's words, he immediately bowed and scraped.
"Thank you, sir, hehe."
With that, he ran off.
Su Yun returned to the shop and didn't immediately greet Hai Bo Dong. Instead, he examined the maps in the shop.
Hai Bo Dong was right in front of him, so there was no need to worry about him running away.
The Tallgor Great Desert was vast, and a precise map was necessary to avoid getting lost.
Su Yun picked up a map and then used the system's scanning function to search for the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map.
On an old wooden shelf, a yellowed map was placed alone.
Su Yun scanned it with the system.
"Ding, Fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map detected. Do you wish to reclaim it?"
Su Yun smiled inwardly, his heart filled with joy.
He reached out and picked up the map.
