Chapter 208: Meeting the Soul Palace Again!
After searching all along these not-too-long streets, Furukawa was disappointed to find that this small tribe had no map to sell.
He shook his head depressedly, and just when he was about to find someone to ask for the general route, a slightly fat figure suddenly appeared in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Is this gentleman buying a map? I saw you asking all the way here earlier." The fat man said with a smile before Furukawa frowned.
"Do you have one?" Furukawa glanced sideways at the strange fat man and said calmly.
"I am a businessman walking on the Great Black Plains, so naturally I must carry the most detailed map." Fatty said with a smile.
"Price?" Furukawa's voice still had no fluctuation at all.
He has understood that there is absolutely no free lunch in this Black Corner Domain.
"Haha, let me tell you the truth, sir, in the Great Black Plains, even if you have a map, it is difficult to find the correct destination, because from time to time, black storms will appear on the plains that cover the sky and the sun. At such times, Maps are useless. Only experienced people can successfully get out of the black storm, but I think you, sir, are new here and don’t have this kind of experience, right?"
The fat man shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't beat around the bush with you. When you were at the gate of the tribe, I saw that you were quite capable, so I wanted to hire you as a guard for my caravan. If your destination is to cross If you enter the Black Angle Territory in the Black Territory Great Plains, you can go with me. However, as a reward for taking you out of the Great Plains, you need to help my caravan when it encounters trouble. How about that?"
Hearing this, Kohe frowned.
The Black Plains is indeed famous for its black storms. People who are not very experienced can really lose their way. It is said that some unlucky guys are rushing in the black storms and end up circling most of the circle around the Great Plains. I was exhausted to death.
Traveling through the Great Black Plains with an experienced caravan would indeed save a lot of trouble.
Moreover, after running around for so many days, Furukawa also wanted to take this opportunity to take a good rest.
"Haha, the destination of our caravan is the "Black Seal City" inside the Black Corner Territory. The annual auction will be held there the day after tomorrow, so I need to strengthen the escort force and rush there as soon as possible. Otherwise, I You won't find someone you don't know well." The fat man smiled and explained his somewhat reckless behavior.
"Auction meeting?" Hearing this name, Furukawa's heart moved slightly. The most attractive thing in the Black Corner Territory is the staggering rare objects. Every auction will attract countless people to compete for it. .
After pondering for a while again, Kohe no longer hesitated and nodded.
"Happy cooperation, you can call me Ma Yicheng." Seeing Furukawa nod, the fat man breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and extended his hand to Furukawa.
"Diga..."
Furukawa casually shook the opponent's fat palm and said calmly.
"Diga? What a weird name..."
Hearing this, Ma Yicheng secretly complained in his heart.
…………
The next day, on the pitch-black plains, a motorcade brought up a faint wisp of yellow dust, quickly passed by, and finally disappeared from sight.
In the slightly bumpy car, Furukawa sat cross-legged. In front of him was the caravan leader named Ma Yicheng.
The guards of this caravan were indeed not very strong as he said. The strongest one among them seemed to be around the level of a five-star fighting master.
Of course, as the captain of the guard who was originally hired by Ma Yi, that guy was naturally a little unhappy with Furukawa who suddenly joined him. However, after being "accidentally" knocked off the carriage by Furukawa on the way, he changed his mind. Much more honest.
And precisely because of that palm, Ma Yicheng's enthusiasm for Furukawa became even more ardent, so much so that he even invited him directly into the carriage to entertain him.
After all, with the danger of being robbed everywhere, it would really put people at ease if there was a strong person in the convoy.
At this time, Ma Yicheng 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."
Furukawa stared closely at the yellowed map. His eyes stayed on the small dot of Black Seal City for a while, and then he slowly followed a route, and finally saw the central location. A blue star.
"This should be Canaan College, right?" Glancing at the blue stars, Kohe asked casually without any change in his face.
"Well, that's Canaan College, which is famous in Dou Qi Continent, and my daughter is in it, haha." Ma Yicheng nodded, and when he mentioned his daughter, there was a little pride on his fat face.
Kohe 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, there should not be much change in a short period of time."
Looking at Furukawa's eyes, Ma Yicheng, as a businessman, naturally understood some of his doubts. Although he could also guess that Furukawa was probably a newcomer who had just entered the Black Corner Territory, he was shrewd and did not say it at all. 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. It can be ranked in the top ten of the black list in the Black Corner Region, and this time the auction meeting in Black Seal City is hosted by their "Eight Gates"..." Ma Yicheng drew a small circle around Black Seal City with his finger, smiling said.
Seeing Furukawa's lack of reaction, Ma Yicheng thought he had never heard of the "Black List" before, so he continued.
"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..." Ma Yicheng shook his head and said in amazement.
Furukawa naturally disdains this so-called "black list". The strongest is just a fighting emperor, and he can destroy it with the flip of a palm.
"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 also extremely proficient in the art of alchemy. He is the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region, so most people respectfully call him "Medicine Emperor Han Feng"..." Ma Yicheng mused.
"Han Feng..."
Hearing this name, Furukawa's heart suddenly moved slightly.
He remembered that this guy had a kind of strange fire in him.
Hai Xinyan?
This time I went to the Black Corner Domain, I was definitely going to get it.
At this time, Furukawa suddenly sensed a commotion outside the carriage, and 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 scatter, so as not to lose the direction."
"Black Storm? What a bad luck. Sure enough, we met again."
Hearing the exclamations outside, Ma Yicheng's face changed slightly, but he was not extremely panicked. He said to Gu He: "Mr. Diga, let's get out of the car first. As long as we take good protection, this kind of black man is not too big." The storm will not pose much danger."
Nodding, Furukawa opened the car curtain, jumped out, looked up, and found that the sky that was clear a dozen minutes ago was now covered by a strange black mist.
He looked forward, but his vision was severely blocked. 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. Diga, don't worry. I felt the wind direction and it's not very strong. This can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes."
Ma Yicheng smiled beside Gu He and said: "Although the black storm is the most depressing weather in the Black Plains, compared with those brutal black bandits, it is much better. At least, if you are lucky enough to encounter the black storm, you can still If you want to save your life, if you foresee the tens of thousands of gangsters, you will probably have no choice but to wait and see."
Furukawa nodded slightly and was about to say something, but he found that the already dark sky turned completely dark without any warning. Soon after, the howling wind suddenly swept down from the sky. Suddenly, some weaker people People's bodies were swayed by the strong wind, and they were so frightened that they quickly grabbed everything around them.
The black wind swept down from the dark sky, like a demon with a huge mouth, swallowing everything it met.
The convoys connected to each other were arranged in a circle connected 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. Amidst the howling wind, no one could feel the presence of anyone around them.
Hearing the crackling sound of the strong wind blowing on him, Furukawa's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect this so-called black storm to be so strong, and this was still the small storm Ma Yicheng said. If he encountered something bigger, , wouldn’t it be possible to sweep people away directly?
Of course, with Furukawa's physical strength, he was enough to face this storm.
He was seen standing in the strong wind, his body motionless, like an old tree with its roots.
The darkness and strong wind lasted for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, Furukawa in the darkness suddenly frowned and turned his head to glance at a place whose direction he did not know.
There seemed to be some strange red light flashing there, and it was also accompanied by vague sounds.
The soul power was sensed in that direction. Furukawa immediately frowned and said in a cold voice: "People from the Soul Palace are really everywhere."
What caught Furukawa's field of vision was a strange red light. If he looked carefully, he saw that the red light was actually an illusory human form.
PS: Ma Yicheng has arranged a role for you. Do you like it?
Big fat man!
