Chapter 130: The 2nd Remnant Map of the Heavenly Flame
They pulled a random passerby on the street and through him, Xiao Ming and the girls learned where the stores that sold maps of Tager Desert were located.
After thanking the passerby, the three of them headed to the best map store in Desert City that the passerby had mentioned.
After a long while of leisurely walking, the map store called Ancient Map appeared in Xiao Ming's sight.
After taking a glance at the outside of the store, Xiao Ming found that the store was not as luxurious and ostentatious as others, and had a vaguely ancient and simple appearance.
Xiao Ming slowly walked into the store, the inside of the store was not too spacious, two moonlight stones illuminated the store, his eyes scanned the inside of the store, and there was no one buying maps inside, so the atmosphere was quiet and calm.
Xiao Ming's eyes glanced around and finally stopped on an old man behind the counter who was carefully making a map with his head down.
This old man was obviously quite old, but, although his head was full of white hair, his withered palm, which held a black pen, was still firm and strong.
Xiao Ming acutely felt that the old man in front of him had a huge dou qi of ice in his body, but it was suppressed by a strange energy and only a small part could be used.
Xiao Ming knew that the man in front of him was Hai Bodong.
When Xiao Ming saw that Hai Bodong was indifferent to his arrival, his eyes narrowed and he turned around and walked over to an ancient wooden shelf in the corner of the store and inspected it.
Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian, on the other hand, stayed where they were, and looking at the old man who ignored them, Zi Yan shouted in disgust.
"Hey, you stinky old man, can't you see you have customers!?"
Hai Bodong, who had been concentrating on drawing a map, heard Zi Yan's shout, and his finger, which he was drawing, gave a jerk, and the route he had carefully drawn deviated slightly.
Hai Bodong slowly raised his head with a cold look and said in a deep voice, "Little girl, didn't your elders tell you not to talk nonsense when you go out, otherwise, you might die?".
As Hai Bodong moved, the tent was filled with frosty air, and a fine mist also appeared inside, completely blocking the view of Xiao Ming and his group.
'It seems that after being sealed for over twenty years, not only has Hai Bodong's strength greatly decreased, but he has also become more stupid, to dare to make a move without even finding out our strength.' Within the fog, Xiao Ming could clearly perceive Hai Bodong's movements, however, he had no intention of making any move.
Since Zi Yan wanted to make a move, it was an assured slap anyway.
Inside the fog, Zi Yan's vision was not affected, looking at Hai Bodong who was heading towards them, she coldly snorted and countered with a single punch.
Where her fist swung, an invisible fluctuation spread out like lightning, reaching towards Hai Bodong in an instant.
Hai Bodong's face changed drastically as he quickly formed a seal with one hand, then quickly shouted, "Ice Spirit Armor!"
With the sound of his voice, the icy mist that filled the surroundings instantly turned into a thick ice armor that shone with an icy luster on the old man's body.
Peng! The newly formed ice armor was struck by the invisible fluctuations emitted by Zi Yan, and the thick armor only lasted an instant before it turned to dust, and Hai Bodong, who was hiding in it, lost his defense and was hit hard.
After being hit, Hai Bodong spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards faster than he had come, crashing into the counter, which shattered into small pieces of wood that buried him inside.
The fog in the store gradually dissipated without Hai Bodong's control, and Hai Bodong, who was lying on the ground in a mess, appeared in Xiao Ming's sight.
Coughing up blood, Hai Bodong sat up with difficulty, his voice sounding a bit forlorn.
"Haha, I never thought that after living here in seclusion for over twenty years, I would be embarrassed in front of you, juniors, today, it's really pitiful."
Hearing this, Xiao Ming was speechless, they didn't start this, they had actually just come to talk business and had no intention of making a move at all.
Zi Yan had restrained her hand when she attacked a moment ago, otherwise, with Hai Bodong's sealed strength, he would have died a long time ago.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ming walked up to Hai Bodong and squatted down in front of him, his black eyes staring at Hai Bodong, then he held up the map in his hand and said, "Alright, Your Excellency the Ice Emperor, we actually have no malice in coming here, we are just here to buy a map."
