Douluo's mountain dwelling sword intent

Ye Lan had heard a lot about the legend of the Lost City along the way.

Legend has it that 1 years ago, all the land west of the Western Wilderness Plain belonged to an empire called Xilan. That empire was extremely prosperous at that time. The Western Wilderness Plain and a large area of ​​land in its west were extremely fertile, supporting countless people.

But I don’t know what happened later. The Xilan Empire collapsed overnight. Most of the land in the Xilan Empire turned into a vast desert, no longer suitable for human habitation. Only the Xihuang Plain was spared, but it was still prosperous. , it has turned into what it is now, full of deserts and swamps.

As for the Lost City, legend has it that it was the imperial capital of the Xilan Empire back then, and the wealth of the entire Xilan Empire was hidden in it.After the fall of the Xilan Empire, the imperial capital disappeared from the eyes of the world. Also disappearing at the same time was the secret of Xilan's fall.

Since then, I don’t know how many soul masters want to go deep into the inner desert to find out the secret of Xi Lan’s disappearance. If possible, wouldn’t it be great to get some of Xi Lan’s wealth.

But for some reason, that desert area couldn't be entered at all after reaching the Soul Emperor's realm.The Soul King would have a narrow escape if he entered, but the Soul Emperor and above could not enter. Over time, except for those who did not believe in evil, few people were willing to go to the Desert of Death.

However, the types of spirit beasts in the Western Wilderness Plain are also quite rich. Gradually, they attracted many adventurers, and then the Western Wilderness Town was established accordingly.

As for the stable period of the death desert mentioned by the mercenary, it is because every ten years, there will be a sandstorm window period in the deepest desert area of ​​the plain.Entering the desert during this window period, you will not encounter any extreme weather, and you only need to beware of the soul beasts in the desert.

Relatively speaking, the extreme weather in the desert is much more dangerous than the soul beasts in the dark. Therefore, this period of time is jokingly called the days when the Lost City appears.It's a pity that after so many years, no one has found the lost city, and no one knows the secret of the fall of the Xilan Empire.

It is also worth mentioning that this desert is very strange. If an outside soul master dies inside after entering, his body will be automatically transported out by the desert and dumped at the junction of the Western Wasteland Plain and the desert.Hence the name Desert of Death.

Moreover, the junction between the Western Wasteland Plain and the desert is very obvious, as if they are separated by something. From a distance, it is just a long line, with the endless desert on one side and the desolate swamp area on the other. There is no trace in the middle. Gradient area.

You know, at the junction of general deserts and land, it is obvious that the desert is getting shallower and the land is getting more and more, but there is no such sign here in the Western Wasteland Plain and the Desert of Death.

"But is there anything gained?" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but ask when he saw Ye Lan suddenly smile.

"Well, I heard some news. Let's go back and talk about it later."

Back at the hotel, Ye Lan immediately told Zhu Zhuqing and Lu Xiaoran what he heard and the information he knew.Of course, Lu Xiaoran was still young and didn't have much decision-making power, so he mainly told Zhu Zhuqing.

After hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing frowned and said, "According to this information, it will be very dangerous in the Death Desert."

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Since he rejects the powerful soul emperors and above, it means that the strongest creature in it is the peak soul king. But no soul king has broken through in so many years. It must be a soul king level creature. The quantity must be relatively large." Ye Lan analyzed.

"Well, if that's the case, it's really not a big problem. After we use the martial soul fusion skill, it should be relatively safe to be comparable to the powerful ones in the later stages of the Soul Emperor. But, what should Xiao Ran do?"

Ye Lan was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, Lu Xiaoran was only in her teens, and the Desert of Death was still too dangerous for her.

"Master, Master, Sister, why don't I stay here and pick me up when you come back." Lu Xiaoran said in a low mood.

She probably understood some of the conversation between the master and the two, and knew that she was holding herself back.

"No!" Ye Lan and Zhu Zhuqing said in unison.

"Xiao Ran, if you stay here, then this town will be as dangerous to you as the Desert of Death. You'd better go in with us so that I can take care of you. For your safety, I will If something is wrong, we will retreat immediately." Ye Lan said.

"That's it. The three of us will go together then." Zhu Zhuqing also agreed with Ye Lan's words. Lu Xiaoran was still young and could never stay in this small town.

Lu Xiaoran didn't say anything more when she heard that the two of them had made their decision. In fact, she didn't want to leave her master and wife.

"You guys can have a good rest in your room for a while. I'll go out and see if I can get a map."

"Shall I go with you?" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"No, you can stay with Xiaoran. Unconventional methods may be used then, so it's not a good idea for you to follow."

. . . . . .

Early the next morning, Ye Lan and the other three began to march towards the vast Western Wasteland Plain. According to the map Ye Lan obtained, the Desert of Death was at the deepest point in the west of the Western Wasteland Plain. On the way, they had to pass through a large swamp desert, facing Threats from various levels of spirit beasts.

After going out last night, Ye Lan thought about it for a long time, and finally went to the mercenary union to get this map.He was afraid of being deceived when robbing other people's maps, and with his fifth-level token, he thought that the people who belonged to the Spirit Hall in the mercenary union would not fool him with a fake map.

After so many years, a lot of people have successfully traveled to the Death Desert. There must be a safe road map to the Death Desert. Ordinary mercenaries may not have it, but Ye Lan doesn't believe that the mercenary union doesn't have it either.

As for how to go after entering the Death Desert, Ye Lan could not find the relevant map, and the people in the mercenary union had no relevant information.

It's normal when you think about it. Let's not talk about whether there is such a thing. Even if there is, no one will be stupid enough to expose it, let alone the Wuhun Palace. The top officials of the two empires will know about it.

Perhaps due to the big melee between the two imperial soul masters, Tiandou and Xingluo, yesterday, there were only a few soul masters going to the Western Wilderness Plain today. Unlike the rumors that countless adventurers set out every morning, the Western Wilderness Plain was full of people. Phenomenon.

There is basically no danger on the edge of the Western Wilderness Plain, and most of the people who haunt here are low-aged spirit beasts.However, Ye Lan was not idle either. He directly used local materials and continued to explain to Lu Xiaoran the age determination of various soul beasts and their basic abilities, interspersed with the identification of some plants.

Lu Xiaoran listened very carefully and even took out a small notebook to record.

The day passed without realizing it. Ye Lan and his party set up a tent, lit a bonfire, and sat around salivating at the fire rabbits being grilled on the fire. Lu Xiaoran had killed them all. of.

Although Lu Xiaoran is still young, he is still a soul master, and practical training is also necessary.It just so happened that there wasn't much else in the Western Wilderness Plain, but there were a lot of soul beasts. Moreover, this was still a peripheral area, and the strength of the soul beasts was not very strong, so it was just right for Lu Xiaoran to practice.

Ye Lan would not admit that he was too lazy to do anything and could only trouble his apprentice.

Isn’t it common sense for an apprentice to prepare ingredients for his master?

"Master, rabbits are so cute, why do we eat rabbits?" Lu Xiaoran said "unbearably".

"You girl, the rabbit is so cute, why didn't you kill it, skin it and clean it?" Ye Lan was also dumbfounded.

"Zi Liu~"

Lu Xiaoran wiped the saliva from his mouth and said with a silly smile:

"Hey, why isn't this rabbit ready yet? I'm going to starve to death."

"Wait a little longer and it will be fine soon, you little slanderous cat." Ye Lan smiled.

At this time, the rabbit has turned golden yellow, and droplets of oil are dripping down. It looks very tempting. Coupled with the smell of the meat, even gods will drool.

At this time, Zhu Zhuqing on the side no longer had the cold image of the past. He stared at the roast rabbit without blinking, almost drooling.

After traveling together for such a long time, what Zhu Zhuqing looked forward to most in the wild was the food made by Ye Lan. He really couldn't get enough of it.

Seeing that it was almost done, Ye Lan quickly took out the seasoning and applied it on it. The smell of the meat suddenly became more fragrant, and this time the three of them swallowed together.

There were two fire rabbits in total. Zhu Zhuqing and Lu Xiaoran had smaller appetites, so they shared one. Ye Lan had a larger appetite, so they ate one each.Everyone couldn't wait to bite under the temptation of the fragrance.

It has to be said that the delicious meat of the fire rabbit and Ye Lan's superb barbecue skills, the two women quickly devoured every bit of the roast rabbit, and Lu Xiaoran even burped with satisfaction.

"Master, this roasted rabbit is so delicious. Let's eat roasted rabbit tomorrow, right?" Lu Xiaoran said with unfinished content.

Ye Lan scraped Lu Xiaoran's nose and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of getting tired of eating it if you keep eating it?"

"Don't be afraid. You will never get tired of the food made by Master."

"Master, are you okay?"

Seeing that Ye Lan didn't respond, Lu Xiaoran resorted to a woman's trump card - acting coquettishly. She held Ye Lan's arm with both hands and shook it back and forth.

Ye Lan suddenly raised his head and said with a wry smile: "Of course it's okay, but now we're in big trouble, let's solve it first."

"Trouble? What trouble?"

Zhu Zhuqing had just finished asking, when his expression suddenly changed, he stood up suddenly, and completed the possession of the martial spirit in an instant.

The air at this time became more and more oppressive. After Ye Lan released his martial spirit, he and Zhu Zhuqing stood back to back on guard, carefully observing everything around them.

Ye Lan realized something was wrong just now, because the buzzing of insects that was noisy just now suddenly disappeared. This was probably because a powerful spirit beast had broken into this area.

Soon, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness, and then, a figure nearly three meters long appeared in the sight of the three people.

"Golden Lion!"
