Chapter 283

"Hey! What are you doing! Pay the money and leave!"

"What are you staring at! You're courting death!"

"Hurry up, why are you dawdling!"

"Damn it, what a terrible weather! I don't know when it will be the end!"

"..."

"..."

At the city gate, more than a dozen soldiers in armor were holding long guns and yelling at the passers-by entering the city to pay the city entrance tax.

Perhaps it was because of the hot weather that these soldiers were more irritable, shouting and cursing unceremoniously, constantly urging the passers-by at the city gate.

"Why do the guards in this desert city feel much stricter than those in other places?" Looking at the scene at the city gate, Xiao Yan said in astonishment.

"Although this place is located on the outskirts of the Tagore Desert, strictly speaking, it can be regarded as the chassis of the snake-human race. It's just that there are no strong people entering, and Queen Medusa doesn't bother to bother."

"But the two clans have a blood feud after all. Queen Medusa doesn't care about it, but it doesn't mean that other clansmen of the snake people don't care. Therefore, the human cities in the Tagore Desert are often attacked by the snake people. The guards here are naturally stronger than other people. The place is more fortified."

Hearing this, Shi Shan shook his head and explained in a dull voice.

"I see!" Xiao Yan suddenly nodded.

The team regained their calm again and continued to walk towards the city gate.

Along the way, as long as passers-by saw these three people and two beasts, they all showed awe and subconsciously moved away.

Although Shishan restrained his aura, he could tell that this was definitely not an ordinary monster based on its huge body of nearly ten meters, so no passerby who didn't have long eyes dared to step forward to provoke and charge.

Naturally, the soldiers at the city gate would not fail to notice this extremely conspicuous line, but seeing it from a distance, more than a dozen soldiers suddenly became nervous.

The sound of shouting and cursing also disappeared suddenly, and they all stood in awe at the city gate and waited, ignoring other pedestrians entering the city.

Due to the scene they saw before, the pedestrians who entered the city in front of the team did not dare to steal or play tricks. They only entered the city in an orderly manner after paying the city entrance tax very honestly.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little silent.

Soon, it was the turn of a few people, and before they reached the door, a soldier who seemed to be the leader trotted up to greet him, with a very flattering smile on his face, and asked: "Masters, do you want to go?" Going to town?"

"Hmm!" Qin Zhou naturally didn't bother to pay attention to these small characters, and the little doctor fairy also looked like a stranger in front of outsiders, but Xiao Yan, who was walking in front of the team, responded casually and said nothing. Under the awe-inspiring eyes of many soldiers, they went straight to the city.

"Gu..."

It wasn't until the soldier walked far away that he breathed a sigh of relief and swallowed his saliva uselessly. Immediately, he seemed to suddenly think of something, turned around his trembling body, and shouted respectfully: "My lords, The snake people in the Tagore Desert are a little restless recently, if you want to go out of the city, you have to be careful!"

Although the few people didn't take this news to heart, Xiao Yan did not disappoint the soldiers' good intentions, and without looking back, he said "Thank you for reminding me", and led the team, disappearing into the dark passage at the city wall middle.

"call……"

Seeing the backs of a group that had completely disappeared, the soldier let out a long breath again, and said with some lingering fear: "I don't know why such a big man came to such a small place like Mocheng!"

"Huh... who knows, that giant amethyst beast is not a simple thing at first glance. I just got a glance from it just now, and my heels are still trembling. To subdue such a giant beast, That young man in black may be at least a fighting king!" Another soldier also said with awe.

"Fortunately, I didn't offend you, and in the end, Gree, you are also clever, and you sold it out on purpose. Although people may not care, we will have an explanation when asked by the higher-ups in the future!"

"Huh...isn't it!"

"..."

Slowly walking out of the somewhat dim passageway of the city wall, everyone's eyes lighted up slightly.

Looking around, I saw a city building complex with unique desert characteristics suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

Those strange-looking houses opened the eyes of several people.

Ignoring the awed and curious gazes of the passers-by around him, after scanning the busy street for a while, Xiao Yan slowed down, turned his head, and asked curiously: "Master, where are you going now? Go straight into Tago Is it the desert?"

"Go straight in? Where are you going?" On Shishan's back, Qin Zhou raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.

"It's also the first time I've come into contact with the desert... so what shall we do next?"

Looking at Qin Zhou's eyes, Xiao Yan immediately realized that his proposal seemed a little silly, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and continued to ask.

After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Qin Zhou raised his head and glanced carefully at the crowded street, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes.

After a while, he suddenly looked at Xiao Yan, and ordered: "Ask someone, the shop in the city that sells maps, buy a map of the Great Tagore Desert first, and then make plans!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood the importance of the map to the desert, and nodded hastily.

Afterwards, he pulled a passerby casually and asked about a shop that sold maps.

Pedestrians on the street noticed this line just now, after all, Shishan's huge size is a bit too conspicuous.

Therefore, being pulled by Xiao Yan for questioning, that person dared not show any impatience, and quickly and politely pointed out the location of the shop, and finally even stated the approximate price of the map very earnestly.

After thanking that person, Xiao Yan began to lead the way, heading towards what the person said was the best map shop in Mocheng.

…………

Under the awed and curious eyes of passers-by, after walking slowly towards the slightly crowded street for a while, the map shop named "Gutu" finally appeared within sight.

Walking to the door, Xiao Yan turned his head and said respectfully: "Master, you wait here, I will go and buy it and come out."

After speaking, I was ready to enter the store.

But to Xiao Yan's surprise, Qin Zhou suddenly stopped him: "Wait, I'll go in with you!"

He wondered why Qin Zhou would suddenly be interested in such a trivial matter, but Xiao Yan didn't ask any further questions, nodded and stood at the door waiting.

"You wait here!"

Turning his head and explaining to the little doctor, Qin Zhou jumped off the back of the Lion Mountain and walked towards the shop first.

Xiao Yan hastily followed quickly.

Above Shishan's head, the little fairy doctor glanced indifferently at the curious and awe-inspiring crowd, then turned his head and closed his eyes to practice at the door of the empty shop.

Shishan and Lion Heart father and son also lay down slowly to rest at the door of the shop, turning a blind eye to the eyes of their surroundings.

Walking into the shop, Xiao Yan's gaze slowly scanned the slightly quaint interior of the shop, perhaps because it was getting late, there were not many people who came to buy maps at this time, and it looked deserted.

"Master, we..."

Just as he was about to turn his head to ask, Qin Zhou had already walked towards the counter of the shop. Xiao Yan couldn't help being a little stunned, and hurriedly followed up.

Approaching the counter, following Qin Zhou's gaze, Xiao Yan also looked at an old man behind the counter who was carefully making a map with his head bowed.

The old man was quite old, with white hair and no appearance of any cultivation. He was obviously an ordinary person, but the withered palm of the old man holding the paintbrush was still steady and strong.

Seeing that Qin Zhou had been looking at the old man quietly, but he didn't seem to ask any questions, although Xiao Yan was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions.

He is very clear that his mysterious master has a certain purpose in everything he does, and the appearance at this time is obviously not just to buy a map.

Then there should be something wrong with this old man...?
After taking another careful look at the old man who was serious about drawing, Xiao Yan reluctantly gave up. He really couldn't see that there was anything special about this person.

"Are you going to buy a map of the Great Tagore Desert?"

Finally, perhaps sensing someone approaching, the old man stopped what he was doing, raised his head, glanced at the two people in front of the counter, and said softly.

With some guesses in his heart, Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but looked at Qin Zhou.

But what surprised Xiao Yan was that Qin Zhou's next words suddenly made the old man with a dull expression suddenly change color...

"Unexpectedly, the Ice Emperor, one of the top ten powerhouses in the Jia Ma Empire, would hide in such a small place to sell maps. Is the business so popular now?"
