Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 265 Anti-Gravity Flying Car
Xiao Yan certainly didn't intend to kill Hai Bodong.

He had already read the original work and knew that this guy was aloof and arrogant on the surface, but was actually warm-hearted and valued relationships very much.

In the original novel, Hai Bodong can be considered Xiao Yan's angel investor in the early stages. He helped Xiao Yan from the beginning of his Dou Shi journey, and his friendship with him was among the best in Xiao Yan's circle of friends.

Unfortunately, before we got to know each other well, this guy's aloof nature made him quite difficult to deal with.

Otherwise, Xiao Yan wouldn't have used his power to intimidate others and obtain the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame in this way.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan glanced helplessly at Su Haoming, then turned back to him and said with a light laugh:

“Senior is right. In that case, I can agree to the two conditions you have proposed…”

"..."

Hai Bodong remained silent.

Because he knew that such statements usually end with a "but".

"But this fragment of the map is at most an unexpected gain, not the main purpose of my trip."

"Before we get down to business, I must still ask you for your help, senior..."

Hai Bodong frowned and said, "You didn't come here for this incomplete map?"

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "I already said, this was just an unexpected bonus."

Hai Bodong said in a deep voice, "Then what exactly is the purpose of you setting up such a formation?"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, his dark eyes fixed on Hai Bodong, and said, "I've heard that you've been searching for a different kind of fire all these years, presumably to break the seal on your body?"

"..."

Hai Bodong's expression shifted slightly, but he remained silent.

Xiao Yan didn't mind and continued, "Coincidentally, I know of a sixth-grade pill in this world called the Calamity-Breaking Pill."

"By consuming this pill, one can break the seal on their body and develop resistance to this seal within their body. If they encounter the same seal again in the future, there is a chance that they will be exempt from it."

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong finally couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Xiao Yan with a strange gaze.

Xiao Yan knew he had taken the bait, and smiled slightly, saying, "Although I have not yet obtained the formula for this pill, I do have some reliable clues."

"As long as I find the recipe and gather the necessary ingredients, I will be able to refine it..."

Hai Bodong couldn't help but exclaim, "You can refine sixth-grade pills?!"

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, "More or less!"

"Then there's no need to search. I have the recipe for the Breakthrough Pill!"

Hai Bodong stared at Xiao Yan with burning eyes and said, "As long as you are willing to help me refine the Breaking Calamity Pill, I am willing to hand over the incomplete map and give you all the information about the Strange Fire you want!"

Upon hearing the first sentence, Xiao Yan merely chuckled to himself, having taken the bait.

But upon hearing the last sentence, even he, with his foresight, couldn't help but pause for a moment, seemingly not expecting that Hai Bodong would be the first to propose conditions related to the strange fire.

Seeing the boy's first look of surprise and doubt, Hai Bodong felt he had won the round, so he smiled and explained, "The allure of strange fire to alchemists is known throughout the world."

"For a sixth-grade alchemist to go to such lengths, produce a sixth-grade pill, and invite so many powerful helpers, there must be nothing but a strange fire!"

Xiao Yan and the group members around him exchanged glances, and they couldn't help but marvel.

It makes sense. Hai Bodong was able to see Xiao Yan's potential, invest in him in advance, and hide his Dou Ling strength for many years without being discovered. This shows that his mind is definitely top-notch.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said leisurely:
"Since we've come this far, let's have a frank conversation!"

"The pill formula, the incomplete map, the information on the strange fire, plus the medicinal materials I brought myself, in exchange for a Breaking Calamity Pill, Senior... what do you think?"

Hai Bodong's lips twitched, but he forced a smile and said, "It's very fair!"

"very good!"

Xiao Yan smiled with satisfaction: "Then let's take out the remaining fragments of the map first!"

Should we take it out first?
Hai Bodong's expression shifted as he struggled internally.

But in the end, under the pressure of those four unfamiliar powerful figures, he sighed and turned to walk behind the counter.

He quickly took out the pill formula, the incomplete map, and the information about the strange fire, and handed them over to Xiao Yan in advance.

Even the materials for the Breaking Calamity Pill have been almost all gathered, with only one herb remaining: 'Sand Mandala'.

This thing grows deep in the Tagor Desert, which is the territory of the Snake People. However, Hai Bodong is sealed by Medusa, and once he enters the territory of the Snake People, he will be discovered by Queen Medusa. Therefore, even though he knows the location, he has been unable to collect it for a long time.

Xiao Yan already knew this, and immediately took the blame upon himself.

About five minutes later, Xiao Yan and his group of five finally walked out of the shop called 'Gu Tu'.

Hai Bodong escorted them all the way out, looking at Xiao Yan with a face full of reluctance, or more accurately, at the pill formulas and medicinal herbs that he had spent more than ten years collecting on Xiao Yan's body.

"Young Brother Xiao, my hopes of breaking through the seal rest on you. You...you must come back!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan chuckled. Su Haoming, standing beside him, patted Hai Bodong on the shoulder and said with a grin, "Don't worry, we'll need you in the future!"

After saying that, Su Haoming took a step and left the street with Xiao Yan and the others.

Once they arrived at a secluded, deserted place, He Jingfeng waved his hand and took out a silver metal flying vehicle about the size of a bus, with a very futuristic appearance.

Upon seeing the flying vehicle, Xiao Yan looked surprised and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Is this the Cloud Shuttle Type I anti-gravity levitation vehicle that we mentioned in the group chat before?"

"No, it's the Cloud Shuttle II model that hasn't been released yet..."

He Jingfeng shook his head and said with a smile, "You all know the shortcomings of Type I. It only has an anti-gravity device, and the thrust is too small, making it difficult to break the speed of sound within the atmosphere." "Type II, however, has improved in this respect, adding a nuclear-powered thruster, allowing it to reach a top speed of about three times the speed of sound..."

"What a great thing!" Xiao Yan's eyes burned with excitement, and he couldn't help but reach out and stroke the silver car body. "When will it be available? I want to buy one for transportation too."

"almost!"

He Jingfeng said with a smile, "If you're really in a hurry, I have quite a few experimental machines that I can sell to you at a low price."

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Great! Great!"

Yun Ye laughed and said, "Going through the back door, huh? Then I want one too!"

He Jingfeng nodded, looking at Su Haoming and Lin Lie, and asked, "And you two?"

Su Haoming pouted and said, "I still prefer flying on the wind."

Lin Lie coughed lightly and said casually, "I don't need it anymore. I recently learned the art of controlling objects, and this sword happens to be the perfect match for me. There are no bottlenecks in my cultivation, and I can already fly on the sword."

"As for the speed... it's so-so, probably a little faster than this!"

...Who asked you?
Xiao Yan and the other three were all speechless.

After collectively expressing their disdain for Lin Lie, the group stepped into the hovercar.

Throughout the entire process, Yao Lao remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but rather that he simply couldn't understand what Xiao Yan was talking about, so he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

However, he still understood the sound even though it was three times faster.

Under normal circumstances, the flight speed of a Douhuang-level expert is about one-third of the speed of sound.

And this seemingly unremarkable object can actually reach three times the speed of sound!
This is truly... eye-opening!
The old doctor had mixed feelings.

……

……

A silver light pierced the air, flying at three times the speed of sound in the thin air high above.

Before long, it moved away from Stone Desert City and hovered over a flat desert in the southeast.

Inside the floating vehicle, Xiao Yan and his four companions stood around a metal platform. On the platform, streaks of blue light intertwined, projecting a three-dimensional blue light map.

Xiao Yan glanced at the map in his hand and pointed to a desert area on the projection, saying:
"If Hai Bodong hasn't mismarked it, this should be the place!"

Yun Ye pondered for a moment and said, "The eastern part of Shimo City is in the south, which is quite consistent with the description in the original work."

He Jingfeng nodded, stood up, and said, "Shall we land then?"

"Don't worry."

Su Haoming smiled, spread his five fingers, and magnified the black dot at the very edge of the projected map.

Soon, a sizable camp appeared before them. Su Haoming turned around, looked at Xiao Yan, and smiled, "If I remember correctly, your two elder brothers' Mo Tie mercenary group is stationed here."

"So, should we go over and say hello first?"

Eldest brother, second brother...

Xiao Yan couldn't help but show his longing.

In the Xiao family, apart from his father Xiao Zhan, his eldest brother Xiao Ding and second brother Xiao Li were the ones with whom he had the deepest affection.

Unfortunately, long before Xiao Yan obtained the chat group, they had already left the Xiao family and gone out to make a living together.

Xiao Yan naturally missed his two blood brothers very much.

However, with the strange fire being the priority right now, Xiao Yan thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Brother Lie just said that no trace of Queen Medusa has been detected within a ten-mile radius."

"If we seize this opportunity to search quickly, perhaps we can avoid confronting Queen Medusa..."

Su Haoming and He Jingfeng exchanged a glance and nodded: "Okay, then we'll get to know each other later!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan had made a decision, He Jingfeng immediately gave the order for the vehicle's AI to land in the desert below.

"laugh--"

As the car door opened, a vast expanse of yellow sand and desert immediately came into view.

Su Haoming and the others stepped out of the hovercar and admired the beautiful scenery around them. Yun Ye stepped forward, squatted down, spread his five fingers, and pressed them onto the hot and fine yellow sand beneath his feet.

In an instant, an invisible wave emanated from Yun Ye, spreading downwards like a sound wave.

About a minute later, Yun Ye was still squatting there with his eyes closed, seemingly carefully sensing the situation underground.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

Su Haoming couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry..."

Yun Ye opened his eyes and said with a light laugh, "Haven't we found it?"

"boom!"

Before the words were finished, a loud bang came from 300 meters ahead.

As everyone looked up, they saw the once peaceful desert erupt in chaos, with streams of yellow sand gushing from the ground, forming sand columns over ten meters thick like fountains.

Gusts of wind swept out, carrying yellow sand and forming a massive sandstorm tornado.

Beneath the raging tornado, where columns of yellow sand spewed forth, a dark and deep circular hole was clearly revealed!
