Chapter 106: Arrival in Tagre Desert!
Another day passed.
In the vast sky, Gu He stood on the back of a massive Goldfeather Giant Eagle, his hands behind him, gazing down below.
A distant golden landscape appeared on the horizon.
"Tagre Desert, I've finally arrived..."
Then, Gu He, riding the Goldfeather Giant Eagle, descended directly towards the ground.
In the distant sky, golden streaks of light crossed the horizon like shooting stars, heading towards the city standing in the vast golden desert.
As they approached the city, a wave of heat enveloped them. Squinting at the seemingly endless golden landscape, Gu He exhaled. "Tagre Desert, I'm here..."
Due to their proximity to the Tagre Desert, the air was dry, and the heat intense.
The scorching sunlight poured from the sky, roasting the ground and sending up waves of scorching heat, creating visual distortion and blurriness.
Normally, one wouldn't expect anyone to feel comfortable in such an environment.
However, Gu He was surprised to find that after arriving, the flow of Dou Qi within his body had become smoother than before.
With a slightly astonished look in his eyes, Gu He extended his soul power. Then, he reached out his hand and made a slight grab in the empty space in front of him. In the next moment, an energy sphere containing both fire and earth attributes gathered directly in his palm.
Looking at the energy sphere, Gu He pursed his lips slightly and, after a moment, seemed to realize something. "So, this space is filled with mostly fire and earth attribute energies."
It appeared that the Tagor Desert was quite suitable for people practicing fire and earth attributes. If there were an opportunity, he could let Liu Ling come here to train for a while. The environment here would undoubtedly significantly accelerate her cultivation.
Gu He had no intention of always keeping his disciples sheltered under his wing. Flowers in a greenhouse could never truly grow. When they had gained a certain level of self-protection ability, he would naturally let them out to gain experience.
Afterward, Gu He let out a breath and patted the dust off his clothes. Then, he continued walking with a slow pace toward the nearby city.
As he approached the city, the number of pedestrians around him increased. Most of the men had bare torsos, with their dark and well-defined skin giving them a robust appearance. They seemed quite straightforward.
Occasionally, there were women who, although their skin was also tanned, had an alluring bronze hue. These women were not as reserved and modest as those in the Empire's interior. They wore tight-fitting leather clothes that covered just enough to preserve their modesty.
As he walked, Gu He couldn't help but appreciate the scenery around him. The women in this place had bold and alluring figures, with their slender waists exposed, long and taut thighs covered only by short skirts or shorts. Their swaying hips added a touch of charm and allure as they moved.
On the journey, Gu He enjoyed the view, licked his lips, and looked up at the city, which was now clearly visible. Above the city gates, two large crimson characters were carved into the city walls, giving off a faint sense of blood.
"Desert City..."
Gu He whispered softly, smiled, and continued walking towards the city gate.
When he approached the city gate, he noticed many soldiers in armor shouting at the people entering the city. They held their weapons and questioned the incoming crowd under the scorching sun, seemingly tireless and impatient.
Seeing this scene, Gu He was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected this remote city perched in the desert to have such strict security.
The oppressive heat made the city guards even more irritable, and they were shouting at the people entering the city with impatience.
Walking towards the city gate and hearing the scolding from the soldiers, Gu He furrowed his brow slightly.
"Forget it, too much trouble..."
The next moment, Gu He extended his soul power and activated the Zhi Chi Tian Ya technique. With a flash, he instantly entered the city.
When Gu He appeared again, he had arrived on a secluded street within the city.
Gu He's eyes brightened as he scanned his surroundings. A group of peculiar desert-style buildings came into view.
These unique buildings, while not made of luxurious materials, had a distinctive character that was quite appealing.
Gu He casually asked a few passersby and found out where Hai Bo Dong was currently residing.
After walking at a leisurely pace for a while, he spotted a map store called "Ancient Maps," which caught his eye.
Gu He's gaze swept the storefront. Unlike other shops, this one had an understated, somewhat rustic charm.
Feeling somewhat surprised, Gu He slowly entered the shop. The interior of the shop was not too spacious, and the soft light of two moonlight stones illuminated it. As he glanced around inside the shop, he noticed that there weren't many customers purchasing maps.
After walking into the shop, Gu He's gaze swept across the room and finally settled on an elderly man behind the counter. This old man was quite advanced in age, but although his hair was snow-white, his withered hands holding the drawing pen were still steady and firm.
Inside the shop, four people were selecting maps, three men and a woman, all dressed quite lavishly. Behind the four of them, several burly men stood respectfully. When Gu He entered, they turned their heads to look at him briefly, assessing him, before turning back to their map selection with disinterest.
As Gu He was being appraised, he glanced at the faces of the three men. They appeared decent, but there was a hint of arrogance in their expressions that reduced their appeal.
The woman, on the other hand, wore a tight-fitting red dress that highlighted her alluring figure. Her body was perfectly wrapped in the red dress, accentuating her graceful curves. The three men occasionally glanced at the enticing silhouette created by the red dress. Their eyes revealed admiration and desire, but beneath that admiration seemed to hide a touch of unease when it came to the woman.
Gu He paid no attention to this somewhat strange group of people and shifted his gaze to the elderly man. He walked to the counter and picked up a map, casually flipping through it.
He remembered that the Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong had hidden a piece of the green lotus core flame here. Since he had come, he naturally had to obtain this fragment.
