It was inconvenient to talk on the street, so the three of them returned to the inn.
In the room, the three of them sat around a round table, looking down at a map on the table.
This was a map engraved on golden paper. When rolled up, it would be a golden ball. When spread out, it could cover the entire table.
The map clearly depicted the entire Southern Wasteland Great Swamp. Every area was clearly marked. Mountains, rivers, forests, and swamps were all clearly visible.
There were more than a hundred names on the map. The terrain and routes between each area were also clearly marked.
There were even hundreds of dangerous areas and dozens of safe areas on the map.
All in all, this was a very detailed map. It was ten times more detailed than the one Ji Tianxing bought!
The map marked fifty percent of the Southern Wasteland Great Swamp. Only the swamp area in the middle was still blurry.
Ji Tianxing could see that this golden paper map was very old. It was at least two to three hundred years old.
Moreover, this map was definitely not made by a Sky Origin expert.
At least several Spirit Refining experts were needed to explore the Southern Wasteland Great Swamp so clearly.
After Ji Tianxing finished looking, Shi Zhongjian put away the golden paper map. He rolled it into a golden ball and put it into his interspatial ring.
He quietly observed Ji Tianxing's reaction and asked tentatively, "Young Master Ji, is this map of mine very detailed?"
"Yes." Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "It is very detailed. But looking at this map, it is at least two to three hundred years old. I'm afraid many things have changed.
Shi Zhongjian, where did you get this map? "
Shi Zhongjian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Young Master Ji, please forgive me for not being able to answer this question. This is my secret."
Ji Tianxing stopped asking. Ji Ke rolled her eyes and had an idea.
She pretended to be unhappy and said in a serious tone, "Shi Zhongjian, this map is very important. It is related to our itinerary and safety. You have to tell us where you came from.
Moreover, since you want to join our team, we have to trust each other. We can't hide anything.
Otherwise, how can we overcome the difficulties and face the dangers together? "
Shi Zhongjian frowned and thought for a moment. He nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense. Alright, then I'll be honest.
This map was given to me by the Sect Master when I left the sect.
This map is indeed three hundred years old. It was made by the sect's Grand Elder.
He combined the experiences of several Soul Refinement Realm experts when they explored the great lake. He spent several years repeatedly verifying and deducing, and it is absolutely accurate. "
Upon hearing Shi Zhongjian's words, Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds.
"Isn't this Shi Zhongjian's thoughts too simple? With just a few words, he spilled the beans?
Fortunately, we are not evil people. If this fellow had met a cunning and vicious person, he would have definitely suffered. "
Shi Zhongjian saw that the two of them were silent, so he quickly added, "Young Master Ji, I'm telling the truth. You must believe me!
I can see that you have an extraordinary temperament, so I'm sure you have an extraordinary status. I'm willing to trust you, so I'm telling you these secrets. "
Ji Tianxing nodded and said in a serious tone, "Alright, since you're so sincere, it's a deal."
Shi Zhongjian saw that he nodded and felt relieved. He smiled and said, "That's great. I wish us a happy cooperation!
Oh right, Young Master Ji, are we really not recruiting more people? "
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said, "There's no need. The quality of soldiers is more important than quantity. Anyone below the Sky Origin Realm will only be a burden."
Shi Zhongjian nodded in agreement and asked, "Young Master Ji, when will we depart?"
"We'll rest for two days. We'll depart early in the morning the day after tomorrow." Ji Tianxing set the time without hesitation.
After that, Shi Zhongjian also stayed in the inn and recuperated in peace.
The three of them rested in the inn for two days. On the morning of the third day, they left the inn together.
After leaving the Southern Wasteland City, the three of them flew into the sky and headed south as fast as lightning.
While they were flying, Ji Tianxing told Shi Zhongjian and Ji Ke about their next itinerary.
"After we enter the Southern Wasteland Great Swamp, our first goal is to explore the Evil Dragon Pond.
Among the three places I want to explore, the Evil Dragon Pond is the closest to us. It's at the edge of the Great Swamp, among the mountains.
With our speed, we should arrive at the Evil Dragon Pond by tomorrow evening.
Of course, that's if we don't run into any danger on the way and don't waste time. "
Shi Zhongjian was suddenly interested. His eyes lit up, "The Evil Dragon Pond? Just from the name, it sounded very powerful. Could it be that there was an evil dragon hiding there?
Was it entrenched in the pool and had many demonic beasts under its rule?
Young Master Ji, are we going to catch that Evil Dragon? If we can catch a Flood Dragon, I'm so excited just thinking about it! "
Apparently, it was Shi Zhongjian's first time to travel outside. He was very interested in adventure and exploring dangerous places.
Even though his goal had nothing to do with the Evil Dragon Pond, he was excited when he heard the name. He was looking forward to it.
It couldn't be helped. He was like a blank piece of paper. Everything in the outside world was new to him.
Ji Tianxing nodded and said with a playful tone, "I'm going to the Evil Dragon Pond to investigate something. As for whether we can catch that Evil Dragon, it depends on its strength.
Lion, if we can catch that Evil Dragon, I'll give it to you. "
"Ah? Really? " Shi Zhongjian's body suddenly shook. He was so excited that he almost fell from the sky.
"Young Master Ji, that's a Flood Dragon! Can we really catch it? Are you really willing to give it to me? "
Ji Tianxing smiled and nodded, "Of course!"
The sudden surprise made Shi Zhongjian's blood boil. He couldn't believe it.
When he was cultivating in the Sect, he read books about Flood Dragons. He dreamed of having a Flood Dragon as his mount one day.
How majestic would it be to ride a Flood Dragon and travel the world?
Seeing him so excited, Ji Ke couldn't help but laugh, "Lion, don't be so happy. We may not be able to see that Evil Dragon or catch it.
What if that Evil Dragon is extremely powerful? Let alone catching it, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger. "
"Uh … that's true." Shi Zhongjian immediately quieted down. His blood and excitement dissipated.
Ji Ke's eyes flashed cunningly. He said playfully, "Lion, do you really want to see a real Flood Dragon?"
"Of course! I want to see it even in my dreams! "Shi Zhongjian nodded without hesitation.
Ji Ke smiled even more playfully, "Then you can ask Brother Tianxing. He can fulfill your wish."
Shi Zhongjian was very confused. He looked at Ji Tianxing in confusion.
Ji Tianxing didn't say anything. He waved his hand and released the little black dragon from the Hundred Treasures Brocade Pouch.
"Roar!"
With a flash of black light, an earth-shattering dragon roar burst out and resounded through the clouds.
"Swoosh!"
The black light flew into the sky and instantly grew to a length of a hundred meters. It turned into a black Flood Dragon with bone-chilling cold.
Without a doubt, this was the little black dragon.
It had been sleeping in the Hundred Treasures Brocade Pouch for two months. It had finally fused with the Dragon Crystal and successfully broken through to the Divine Origin Stage!
Shi Zhongjian's eyes widened when he saw the little black dragon's True Dragon body. His body stiffened and he stood rooted to the ground.
"Ah! This, this, this … this is a Black Dragon! "
The incomparable surprise and shock made his heart stop and he forgot to breathe.
