BTTH: Emperor Yan, please exercise restraint, you are really a simple brother.

"Let's go.

Seeing Medusa starting to destroy the second string of candied haws, a smile flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes, he turned around with the candied haws on his shoulders and continued to wander around Mocheng.

Finding a passerby to ask about the situation, the two soon came to a street corner. There was a map shop called "Gutu". It was not as luxurious and flamboyant as other shops, but had a somewhat quaint atmosphere.

Zhang Yuan did not greet Medusa and walked into the store by himself. He saw that the interior was not very spacious. There were two moonstones inlaid on the walls on both sides, which illuminated the entire store quite brightly.

Zhang Yuan glanced around and stopped at an old man with white hair who was napping behind a counter.

He did not rush to wake up the other party, but scanned the handmade maps on the counter on one side. He walked to a simple wooden shelf in the corner, his soul perception scanned all the yellowed maps, and then lightly With a wave of his hand, he took out a broken picture that was only the size of a palm.

"What a surprise."

Zhang Yuan spoke in "surprise", came to the counter with the broken picture, and said: "Hai Bodong, where did you get this drawing?"

Uh-huh!

The old man who was taking a nap suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold air instantly filled the entire shop and enveloped Zhang Yuan.

"Who are you and how do you recognize me!?" Haibodong spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse and his eyes were very sharp.

"My name is Zhang Yuan, have you ever heard of me?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Lord of Stone Desert City?" Haibodong confirmed.

"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded.

"I've heard of it." Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes and said, "The Nine-Star Dou Master, who is less than seventeen years old, defeated the Nine-Star Dou Ling head-on. Now that one year has passed, you must have broken through to the Dou Ling."

Zhang Yuan smiled, without revealing his specific strength, and said: "You have good talent, and your Dou Huang strength has reached my standards. I want to recruit you to join the power court I created, so I came here to find you."

"What do you think?"

Hai Bodong had a playful smile on his face and said, "I'd rather do it, but I'm afraid I'm not qualified now."

With that said, Haibodong released his aura, which was at the level of Seven Star Dou Ling, not Dou Huang.

"I'm here to recruit you. Of course I know your current situation." Zhang Yuan's expression remained unchanged and he said: "As long as you are willing to join the Divine Court, I can help you solve the seal left by Queen Medusa and provide you with a pill. Medicine can directly restore your strength to its prime. "

Hai Bodong's eyes narrowed and he said in surprise: "You actually know that my strength declined because I was sealed by Queen Medusa!"

Queen Medusa planted this seal on him, but it happened decades ago.

Since then, he has lived in seclusion in this desert city. Even if the outside world said that the Ice King had fallen into the hands of Queen Medusa, he did not show up to explain.

No one would know about being sealed by Medusa unless he, the person involved, said it.

Zhang Yuan's ability to obtain information is somewhat powerful.

"How I know is not important." Zhang Yuan smiled: "What is important is that you want to restore the strength of Dou Huang?"

"Can you really help me?" Hai Bodong's tone became more fiery.

As a former Dou Huang warrior and one of the top three among the top ten masters of the Jia Ma Empire, he was of course not willing to be sealed as a Dou Ling for the rest of his life.

"Of course." Zhang Yuan nodded: "As long as you are willing to join my force, I can help you regain your strength immediately."

Hai Bodong did not agree immediately, but said: "I can exchange it for the residual picture I want, what do you think?"

Zhang Yuan's talent was enough to attract the attention of everyone in the Jia Ma Empire.

As for the seal left by Queen Medusa, Hai Bodong knew very well how difficult it was to remove.

This seal uses some space power, acting on the dantian and blood vessels at the same time.

Unless a sixth-level alchemist is willing to refine some kind of sixth-level elixir for him to take, no one can lift this restriction.

If Zhang Yuan could really do it, he wouldn't mind making a deal, but not by joining the other party's forces.

Because he doesn't know the situation of the other party's forces, and he doesn't know whether he is leaning towards the good or evil faction, and he personally doesn't like to be restrained.

As for Zhang Yuan, who was prostituted for nothing, although he was a bit conceited and arrogant, he did not bother to break the contract on a fair transaction.

"Help you lift the seal and help you return to your prime, they are two different things." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

Haibodong did not answer directly, but said: "Isn't this original fragment of the picture very important to you?"

"I have studied maps for decades, and my achievements in the art of maps are as good as my own, but I still can't see through the depth of this residual map. I don't think you will feel a loss if I trade this thing with you."

Hai Bodong was worthy of being a human spirit, and he immediately estimated the value of the remaining pictures in Zhang Yuan's heart.

But he didn't know that this map related to the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which ranked third on the list of strange fires. It was enough to make any hermit greedy and make a powerful alchemist moved by it.

"Let's do this." Zhang Yuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I can help you lift the seal first, and you give me the residual map. After that, you work for me for three years, and I help you regain your strength."

"If we cooperate well within three years, you will join me, otherwise I will let you go free."

Zhang Yuan is confident in his own charm and is definitely more worthy of investment than Xiao Yanzi. Hai Bodong, as a visionary angel investor, will definitely be willing to work for him.

Even if there is an accident, a strong Douhuang warrior will still be of some use to him in the past few years, allowing him to personally recruit him. When he becomes stronger, he will not have to have such a subordinate.

"oh?"

Haibodong was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Yuan's suggestion.

"Aren't you afraid that I will default on my debt after I regain my strength?"

bilk?

Zhang Yuan smiled lightly and said, "You must have felt the aura coming from the direction of Stone Desert City just now, right? That's my mount."

Hai Bodong: ""

"You don't think I'm joking with you about the fact that I have Douzong by my side?" Zhang Yuan smiled even more.

Behind him, Ling Ying revealed his figure and released a breath.

The space vibrated, and there was a faint tendency to block the area around Haibodong.

Haibodong was a five-star Dou Huang at his peak. Although he was not a high-level Dou Huang, he was not far behind. He had seen Dou Zong's methods before, and he felt depressed at this moment.

"He is actually a strong man from Douzong!" Haibodong's pupils shrank.

This kid is really not an ordinary person. No wonder he wants to lift the seal for himself when he opens his mouth.

It was at this time that an eye-catching figure stepped into the store and looked at the surrounding environment with interest, but soon a look of boredom appeared in his eyes.

She wasn't very interested in the map.

The appearance of this figure instantly attracted Haibodong's attention and occupied his entire sight.

It's not because the woman is stunningly beautiful and has a figure that rivals that of a witch, but because she has a special meaning to Hai Bodong.

nightmare!

This figure had appeared in his mind and dreams countless times in the past few decades.

Not day and night, but constant nightmares.

"Queen Medusa!"

Haibodong's body was trembling and he kept moving backwards. He finally stopped when he hit a shelf.

His eyes were full of fear, and his white hair covered his face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, but his eyes had betrayed his heart.

Although Medusa was wearing a veil at this time and did not exude any aura of cultivation, and her lower body did not have a snake tail, Hai Bodong still recognized him at a glance.

"Um?"

Medusa was a little surprised when she heard someone call out her identity.

When we were walking on the road just now, those stinky men all looked like they wanted to look at her but were afraid to look at her, but none of them recognized her identity.

Perhaps no one expected that the queen of the snake people would walk in a human city with only one long leg.

This made her feel a little happy, a special kind of peace that she had never enjoyed before.

Here, it's not like in the Snake Tribe, where you can enjoy worship, respect, or admiration wherever you go.

But now, someone recognized his identity the first time they saw him.

"Who are you?"

Medusa looked Hai Bodong up and down, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She immediately felt that this old human man had a seal left by her.

But she searched her memory and felt like she had never seen this old man before.

"Wait, are you Hai Bodong?"

After Medusa felt it carefully, she discovered that Hai Bodong's true state was that of Dou Huang.

In the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Huang is the top combat power in the pyramid, and each one has his own name.

Medusa also had an impression of the Dou Huang she had fought against, and the Dou Huang who had been sealed by her.

After thinking about it like this, she guessed the identity of this old man.

Hai Bodong: ""

"Your Majesty the Queen, it seems that you have left a big shadow on Hai Lao." Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"Really?" Medusa admired her fingers and said calmly: "It's just that his skills are inferior to others, what do you think?"

Medusa looked at Haibodong.

"That's right, I'm not as good as you." Haibodong replied immediately, his voice trembling.

The pain of being sealed for decades was all because of this woman.

Otherwise, with his talent, he would not have been fighting spirits for decades, but would have reached the peak of Dou Huang long ago and started looking for opportunities to break through Dou Zong.

This woman is the one he regrets most in his life.

"You are quite self-aware." Medusa chuckled, then looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Compared to this little guy, he is much more pleasing to the eye."

Hearing this, before Zhang Yuan spoke, Ling Ying looked at Medusa, with a dagger in her hand.

Seeing this, Medusa looked slightly cold.

Haibodong's body trembled again, and he had the urge to turn around and run away.

"cough."

Zhang Yuan broke the silence with a cough and said: "Your Majesty, since you like Hai Lao, then there should be no problem in asking you to help Hai Lao remove the seal, right?"

There was hope in Haibodong's eyes.

Although he had been sealed for too long, his cultivation would inevitably regress after the seal was lifted.

But at least, he can restore the strength of Dou Huang and sense the energy of heaven and earth!

"Remove the seal?"

Medusa smiled and said, "Little guy, you may not know."

"Everyone I like has died in my hands."

"In these years, this Hai Bodong is the first guy who has not been killed!"

"What do you think I should do?"

Haibodong: ""

Can you just pretend you didn’t see it?
