Simultaneously traversing from Type-Moon

"Traces of strange fire have indeed appeared in the Tagor Desert. It is said that it was the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, ranked nineteenth on the Strange Fire List."

"Although it ranks low, it is still a supreme divine fire born from heaven and earth, which cannot be subdued by ordinary people."

"However, you are no ordinary person. I believe you can definitely subdue that magical strange fire."

"On this map, I have summarized the possible locations of the strange fire after collecting various information over the years."

“You can follow the map. With your current strength, as long as you don’t provoke Queen Medusa of the Snake People tribe in the Tagor Desert, no one should be your match.”

Hai Bodong couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned Queen Medusa.

After all, he was defeated by Queen Medusa back then. That battle almost shattered his Dao heart.

He has indeed been paying close attention to information about the Strange Flame over the past few years, since it is related to the refining of the Breaking Calamity Pill, and the more information he can get, the better.

"Thank you. May I ask what kind of reward Mr. Hai would like?"

Du Can took the map, examined it carefully, and then earnestly asked the other party questions. After all, he couldn't just take the map for free.

"Uh... I've got it. There are still a few ingredients missing from the list of herbs needed for the Breaking Calamity Pill. Could you please help me find them?"

"Mr. Hai, don't you know that the ingredients for the elixir need to be provided by you, the one seeking help?"

On the Dou Qi Continent, to have an alchemist concoct medicine, you need to bring your own medicinal herbs. Moreover, you generally need to prepare three sets of herbs. After all, the success rate of alchemists isn't 100%; there will always be mistakes.

If the medicine is successfully refined on the first try, in addition to the pre-arranged reward, the remaining two sets of medicinal materials will also be considered as a reward.

If you succeed on the third try, there will naturally be no extra reward. Of course, the experience gained from alchemy is also very valuable, so it's not like you've worked for nothing.

If it fails three times, then all the effort has been wasted. The person seeking the medicine would probably be so angry they'd want to kill someone.

"I know, we've encountered some difficulties in collecting certain medicinal herbs, which is why we're using this information about the strange fire as a commission."

Du Can nodded and agreed.

After all, the intelligence value of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame far exceeds the value of the medicinal materials.

After obtaining what he needed, Du Can was preparing to leave to search for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

At that moment, a commotion arose from not far from the map shop.

"Go away!"

"Damn it! Don't they know we're the Boulder Mercenary Group?"

"You want to die, huh! Get out of here!"

A large group of people rushed over, accompanied by countless arrogant voices.

Along with the arrogant voices, several bloody incidents also occurred.

The already bustling city has become even more lively.

Hai Bodong clearly heard the commotion outside, frowned, and said to Du Can beside him, "You caused this, didn't you?"

"Ah, right, I ran into a thug when I entered the city. I was just going to ask for directions, but he was so annoying that I taught him a lesson. It seems like he's not satisfied and wants to find someone to come and spar with me."

"Hey, looks like I'll have to get some exercise today. These Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to show their faces in front of my shop. I'm afraid I won't be able to swallow this insult until I twist their heads off and wipe out the so-called Boulder Mercenary Group."

Hai Bodong moved his hands and feet with a fierce expression.

The main reason is that I was bullied by others before, and now a punching bag has come to my door, so I have to vent my anger properly.

“Mr. Hai is an elderly man, so please don’t be so violent. I, a young man, will handle the rest.”

Hai Bodong strongly disagreed with Du Can's words. He believed Du Can's aged appearance was merely due to the curse of Queen Medusa. He was actually just a young middle-aged man.

"Hey! You guys inside, listen up! Get your asses out here right now!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Just charge in, won't you?"

"What do you know? The boss said we have to kill that guy in public! This will not only vent the boss's anger, but also deter those stupid and ignorant residents, so they'll never dare to mess with us again!"

"But those residents never seem to provoke us; it's always us who provoke them."

"...Damn it! This is what the boss said! Do you dare question the boss?"

Before the arrogant voices outside the map shop could be regrouped, their own people started arguing first.

Hai Bodong and Du Can were speechless.

"Mr. Hai, why don't you just kill them all?"

Chapter 113 An Ant-Level Expert Has Appeared!

Du Can and Hai Bodong walked out of the map shop.

Then I saw a dense crowd of people surrounding the outside, three layers deep.

Everyone looked fierce, dressed like thugs from the end-of-the-century world in "Fist of the North Star".

Especially those at the very front of the line, they all seemed to be carrying the weight of human lives on their shoulders. The heavy stench of blood emanating from them couldn't have been built up without hundreds or even thousands of lives lost.

Only ordinary people on the Dou Qi Continent and residents of the Bitter Realm automatically refresh; otherwise, with their killing methods, a single mercenary group would be enough to wipe out an entire city.

"So many people, and they look so fierce, it's terrifying! I feel like I have no chance against them. Maybe we should just run away."

Du Can made a joking suggestion to Hai Bodong, who was standing next to him.

"Come on, most of them are just nobodies at the Dou Qi level, and a small portion are rookies at the Dou Zhe level. The stronger ones are four Dou Shi and one Grand Dou Shi. This isn't four Dou Wang and one Dou Huang, so what's there to care about?"

Hai Bodong was speechless. This swarm of ants in front of him—when he was young, he could have easily blown them away with a single breath; now, although his strength had diminished, it would only take him another slap.

"Okay, let me see what they have to say."

Du Can watched them with great interest.

"The boss has arrived!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Immediately, everyone spontaneously made way for a wide path.

A man strode over with a stern expression, looking somewhat like a younger version of Zuo Shandiao.

Beside him stood the same thug who had mocked Du Can before getting beaten up.

"Big brother! It's him! He's the one who broke my hand!"

This thug is acting a bit smug now. Moreover, Du Can looked closely and found that the hand he had previously crushed was now completely healed.

This is definitely due to being on drugs.

"You brat! So you're the one who bullied my brother? You break both your arms right now, kneel before him, and kowtow a hundred times, and I'll spare you. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Du Can frowned. It wasn't because of those words that he was annoyed.

After all, the barking of a stray dog ​​might frighten people, making them worry about contracting rabies. But the croaking of a toad serves no purpose other than to annoy them.

The other party's so-called great strength meant nothing to him.

But as the other person approached, the strong stench of blood emanating from them made Du Can frown involuntarily.

This guy is probably a ruthless killer.

"Hahaha! Kid! Didn't expect that, did you? My elder brother is the leader of the Giant Rock Mercenary Group, a powerful expert at the Great Battle Master level! You dared to hurt me like that before, now do as my elder brother says, cut off your own arms, kneel down and kowtow to me!"

The hoodlum was smug.

The younger version of Zuo Shandiao, standing to the side, timely released the aura of a powerful expert at the Great Dou Master level.

A powerful battle aura emanated recklessly, causing the wind and clouds to shift and the air to distort. Countless people were stunned and dared not move.

As expected of a Grand Master who reigns supreme in a city, such intimidation and power are truly terrifying!

"Croak! Boss is invincible!"

"As expected of the leader! Such power is unmatched even by those legendary Dou Huang!"

"The two on the other side, a brat who hasn't even been weaned yet and an old codger with one foot in the grave, are probably already scared out of their wits by the invincible pressure of the guild leader!"

Hai Bodong's face turned slightly red when he heard the other party dare to insult him like that, and he laughed in anger.

"Ha! If you don't make a move soon, I'm going to."

When Hai Bodong said this, his tone was somewhat strained, clearly indicating that he was still holding back, but was about to lose his temper.

"I have one more question, I'll be right there."

Ignoring the terrifying pressure of the Great Dou Master and the mockery of those around him, Du Can walked straight up to the thug.

"Heh, are you trying to beg for mercy? Let me tell you, it's too late now, begging won't help. Quickly do as your big brother says, and I'll make him spare your life."

The thug said this, but what he really wanted was to capture the other person and torture him severely after the other person actually cut off both of his arms and kowtowed to him.

He didn't care about any verbal agreements. He only wanted to torment everyone who had ever bullied him.

"I have a question for you. How did you heal your arm?"

"Huh? Instead of begging for mercy, you're bringing this up?" The thug was a little confused, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! It's no harm in telling you. My elder brother knows a distinguished second-grade alchemist! That alchemist master only used a little bit of his skill and a first-grade pill, Tiger Bone Pill, to completely heal the injury to my arm bone."

The thug spoke of this with a smug look on his face.

After all, he was a legendary second-grade alchemist, countless times stronger than a first-grade alchemist.

Alchemists are an extremely prestigious profession on the Dou Qi Continent, and they become even more prestigious with each level they advance.

Such a distinguished person was someone even his elder brother, a powerful expert at the Great Battle Master level, dared not offend easily, but instead treated with great respect.

Du Can nodded. If you take a pill made by a second-grade alchemist, you can quickly recover from even a broken hand, let alone a broken limb.

"Okay, looks like I'll have to twist it again. It's a bit of a hassle. Let's just do it all at once and make sure the arm can never regenerate."

Du Can glanced at the thug, and then both of the thug's arms spontaneously combusted without any fire.

In an instant, the flames burned through his skin, melted his muscles, and charred his bones.

His two arms turned to ashes instantly under the extreme heat.

And that wasn't the end of it. The power of the flames flowed into his body, instantly vaporizing all the meridians related to his arm under the intense heat.

Moreover, some residual fiery battle qi remained in his body, constantly interfering with the recovery process of his arm. That was battle qi at the Dou Huang level, definitely not something an ordinary person could easily remove.

From this point on, unless he finds a high-level alchemist and obtains a miraculous elixir, his arm will never recover.
