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?".
At Hai Bodong's threat, Zi Yan snorted: ''If you can hear me, it seems you are not deaf, why did you ignore us just now!?
"You are not qualified to threaten me, to defeat a Dou Emperor like you whose strength is weakened, I only need one punch." Zi Yan said, raising her small fist, as if proving her point.
Xiao Ming felt Hai Bodong's strength, Zi Yan naturally felt it too, in her perception, the old geezer in front of her with greatly weakened strength was simply not enough for her to fear.
Ka! The slowly moving ink brush in his hand bent fiercely and with a crisp sound, it sharply snapped.
The map in front of Hai Bodong was instantly stained with a large black blot of ink, and after a long while, he stared at Zi Yan, his eyes clouded, the coldness gradually increasing.
"Who the hell are you!?"
The door, which was open, slammed shut, staring at Zi Yan, a cold and powerful aura spreading through his body.
Facing Hai Bodong's oppression, Zi Yan seemed relaxed, but Xiao Yi Xian felt a little uncomfortable, at this moment, someone placed a hand on her shoulder, resisting Hai Bodong's aura for her.
The owner of this hand was naturally Xiao Ming, and in his other hand, he held a remnant of an ancient map. Obviously, after searching a bit, he had obtained the remnant map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
Because Xiao Ming had resisted Hai Bodong's Qi, Xiao Yi Xian immediately felt relieved and looked at Xiao Ming with gratitude in her eyes.
After smiling at Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Ming took two steps forward to stand beside Zi Yan and said, "I didn't expect that Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor who had been roaming the Jia Ma Empire back then, had really lost a lot of strength and was only left with the strength of a Dou Spirit, one can't help but sigh at how unpredictable the world is."
"I didn't expect you kids to have some strength as well." Looking at Xiao Ming and the others, who were surprisingly unaffected in the slightest by his aura, Hai Bodong couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He then sneered, "Although I don't know how you recognized me, and I don't know how you know that my strength is greatly reduced, but even if my strength is greatly reduced, it's still not your turn to talk to me like that, little brats!"
After saying this, Hai Bodong stamped his feet on the ground and shot out towards Xiao Ming and the girls like lightning.
He intended to give some lessons to these ignorant kids in front of him.
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."
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.
