On the pitch-black plains, a motorcade brought up a faint wisp of yellow dust, quickly passed by, and finally disappeared at the end of the line of sight.
In the slightly bumpy car, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged. In front of him was the person in charge of the caravan named Doma. The guards of this caravan were indeed, as he said, not very strong. Among them,
The strongest person seems to be around the five-star fighting master. Of course, as the captain of the guard who was originally hired by Doma, that guy is naturally a little unhappy with Xiao Yan who suddenly joined him. However, he was killed at one point on the way.
After Xiao Yan "accidentally" knocked him off the carriage with a palm, he became much more honest, and precisely because of that palm, Duoma's enthusiasm for Xiao Yan became even more ardent, so much so that
Later, they even directly invited him into the carriage and entertained him well. After all, in this situation where there was a danger of being robbed at every turn, it would really make people feel at ease if there was a strong man sitting in the carriage.
At this time, Doma took out a yellowed map from his arms, slowly spread it out on the table in front of him, pointed at a red dot, and said with a smile: "This is our destination.
, Black Seal City, according to our speed, we should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon."
Xiao Yan's eyes were fixed on the yellowed map. His eyes stayed on the small dot of Black Seal City for a while, and then he followed a route slowly up, and finally saw the one in the center.
of a blue star.
"This should be Canaan College, right?" Xiao Yan 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, there was a little pride on his fat face.
Xiao Yan nodded silently, keeping that route firmly in mind, and then glanced at the black area outside Canaan College again. 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, the changes should not be great in a short period of time." See.
From Xiao Yan's gaze, Doma, as a businessman, naturally understood some of his doubts. Although he could also guess that Xiao Yan should be a newcomer who had just entered the Black Corner Territory, he was shrewd and did not say anything out loud.
Instead, he explained with a smile.
"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 is even more powerful.
To be able to rank in the top ten on the black list of the Black Corner Region, and this time the auction meeting of Black Seal City is hosted by their "Eight Gates"..." Doma drew a small circle around the Black Seal City with his finger,
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 list, because it has only been here for less than two years.
Over time, the last three on the black list were directly replaced. It is said that the three replaced are also strong men at the level of Dou Wang..." Doma shook his head and said in amazement.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan was a little moved. You must know that the top ten strong men in the Jia Ma Empire will not change in rotation until at least nearly ten years. But here, even the strong Dou Wang will be replaced.
Being eliminated so quickly, it's hard to imagine how cruel the competitiveness is.
"Who are the top ones on the black list? How strong are they?" Xiao Yan asked softly, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
"The ones ranked first and second are too mysterious, so few people have seen them, so I don't know much about them. However, the third one is an extremely strong man. It is said that his strength has already been fighting.
He is at the pinnacle of the emperor's level and is extremely proficient in alchemy. He is the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region, so most people respectfully call him the "Medicine Emperor"..." Duoma said in a deep voice.
"Medicine King? This nickname is really quite meaningful." Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said, "What is his real name?"
"Well, let's think about it, it seems... it's called Han Feng..." Duo Ma shook his head and said with a smile.
"laugh!"
Just after Duoma said these words, Xiao Yan's fingers hidden in his sleeves suddenly trembled violently, and the black ring on his fingers couldn't help but burst out with some white flames, which finally led to that
The high temperature burned through a small hole in the car panel where my finger fell.
The sudden change of 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 Yao Lao's complete silence, Xiao Yan wisely did not ask any more questions. However, he firmly remembered the name Han Feng in his heart. This person may be related to the former Yao Lao.
, has a considerable correlation.
"Mr. Yaoyan, are you okay?" Seeing the sudden change in Xiao Yan's face, Doma across from him couldn't help but asked a little uneasily.
"It's okay." Xiao Yan smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed a commotion outside the carriage. A series of exclamations came into the carriage: "Attention everyone, the black storm is coming, prepare to stop quickly! The main thing is not to be distracted.
, so as not to lose your way.”
"Black Storm? What a bad luck. Sure enough, we met again." Hearing the exclamations outside, Doma's face changed slightly, but he was not extremely panicked. He said to Xiao Yan: "Mr. Yaoyan, let's get out of the car first. As long as
Take good protection, this kind of black storm, which is not too big, will not cause much danger."
Nodding, Xiao Yan opened the car curtain, jumped out, looked up, and found that the sky was clear ten minutes ago, but now it was covered by a strange black mist. He looked forward, his sight
But he was severely hindered. Now he knew why Doma said that if he encountered a black storm, even if he had a map, it would be of no use.
"Haha, Mr. Yaoyan, 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 encounter a black storm, you can still save your life. But when the thousands of black bandits are foreseen, I'm afraid
We can only sit back and wait for death."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly and was about to say something, but he found that the already dark sky turned completely dark without any warning. Not long after, the howling wind suddenly swept down from the sky. Suddenly, some weaker bodies
The bodies of the people were shaken by the strong wind, and they were so frightened that they quickly grabbed onto everything around them.
The black wind swept down from the dark sky, like a demon with a huge mouth, swallowing everything it encountered.
The convoys connected to each other were arranged in a circle, end to end, and everyone hid in them. The weapons in their hands were inserted into the ground, fixing their bodies like nails.
Invisible darkness enveloped everyone, and 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 behind the wide ruler. Hearing the crackling sound of the strong wind blowing on the ruler, his expression also changed slightly. Unexpectedly,
This so-called black storm is actually so strong, and this is still the small storm that Doma calls it. If it encounters a bigger storm, wouldn't it be able to sweep people away directly?
The darkness and strong wind lasted for unknown lengths of time. Faintly, Xiao Yan suddenly frowned in the darkness and turned his head to glance at a place in an unknown direction. There seemed to be some strange red light flashing there.
And it was also accompanied by vague sounds.
Blinking his eyes, feeling the strong wind around him that seemed to be weakening, Xiao Yan hesitated for a while, then suddenly half-bent his body and quietly moved towards the faint red light.
The movement seemed to last for several minutes in the darkness. The strange red light finally appeared in Xiao Yan's sight. With the help of the weak red light, Xiao Yan was somewhat shocked to find that the red light body seemed to be
A somewhat illusory human form, but judging from its floating appearance, how come... it's somewhat similar to when Yao Lao appeared?
"Huh? This guy is also a soul body? It just seems to be quite weak, fighting spirit level, no! There is something hidden in the dark... Little guy, don't move!" Suddenly, there was silence.
The Yao Lao suddenly seemed to have discovered something and shouted hurriedly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled, and his body lay flat on the ground, not even daring to breathe out.
"Who are you? Why are you chasing me? I seem to have never had any grudges with you!" The red soul body swayed in the strong wind. At this time, he was facing the darkness, with some distortion and fear on his face.
.
"Jie Jie..."
In the darkness, a burst of creepy laughter suddenly sounded, and then a black chain shot out from the darkness, like a black snake, wrapping around the red soul body extremely flexibly.
"Zizzi..." The energy chain that seemed to be condensed by an extremely weird energy had just touched the red soul body, and bursts of white smoke seeped out from the latter's body, followed by a shrill scream.
The sound resounded, but no matter how hard he struggled, he even summoned a red flame in the end, but he still couldn't do anything with the black chain, so that the latter could only watch his soul getting worse and worse.
It became weaker and weaker, and finally the chain spit out a black light and enveloped it.
"Jie Jie, no matter how famous and domineering you were in life, as long as you become a soul body, you will be the hunting target of my "Soul Palace"..."
The unpleasant laughter gradually faded away in the darkness until it finally dissipated completely.
In the dark grass, Xiao Yan almost completely blocked his breathing, and his clothes were wet with cold sweat. He did not expect that in this black storm, he would encounter the mysterious organization that was chasing Yao Lao, and what shocked Xiao Yan the most was
, or was it that the mysterious man didn’t even show his body before, and a fighting spirit level soul body was captured without any resistance. This kind of power is too terrifying, right?
