In the dim light, several figures sat together.

"Tomorrow the hunt is about to begin, are you ready?" said one.

To the left of this man, a man wearing a cat-face mask replied, "We have received news from the Third Commander, and we will be released into the city after the hunt begins, and the side of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will also cooperate with us to enter, and take the opportunity to assassinate them when the time comes." ”

"Hahaha, I've received the news? I'm finally able to move, I've been squatting here for a long time, and my bones are rusty. The man on the right let out a strange laugh, very harsh.

"That's fine, you arrange your own people in place as soon as possible, there is no delay, if anyone misses a big thing, I will throw him into the blood pool for a year!"

The man at the beginning stopped the others and gave the order. The man's voice was fierce, and he couldn't see clearly when he lowered his head when he spoke, but now he raised his head, and in the dim light, a fox mask was revealed.

After receiving instructions, the people sitting around got up and left, giving the order to go, leaving only the fox masked man.

He sat there, looking at the light on the table, the flames of bean sprouts swaying in the wind, flickering and dimming.

"Who the hell is the Third Commander?" a flash of crimson flashed in his eyes under the fox mask.

He blew out the lights and left the room.

The light was lost, and the room was quickly plunged into darkness.

"Bang. ”

Xiong Shi poured his power into a finger-thick stone, and after the stone made a crisp sound, sparks appeared and lit the lamp on the table.

"It's really a deformed development, all of them have made things like Xuanli crossbows and flints, but they still use incendiary lighting. Jiu Luo took off his torn clothes and handed them to the Heavenly Spirit.

Heavenly Spirit was very unhappy but had no choice but to take it, conjured a thin metal needle in his hand, and went to find a ball of thread to sew and mend clothes for the unscrupulous master.

"Fang Ru, do you also use this lighting in the Western Regions?"

Fang Ru was recalling the sword moves and footwork of Baili Yanyun in his mind, and when he was asked by Jiu Luo, the matter at home came to mind.

However, he only had a sudden flash of thought, and then replied: "Most of the people in the Western Regions also use this kind of lamp for lighting, and I heard that the lighting in the Central and Southern Regions is made of Xuanjing, which can not only be illuminated for a long time, but will not be blown out by the wind. ”

Fang Ru thought that a few days before he left home, the elders of the family went to the Central Domain, saying that they had seen a lot of rare things, but unfortunately they had important things on them and did not bring them back.

He promised to go again next time, and he would definitely bring some good things back for Fang Ru.

Now that I have been away from the Western Regions for some time, I don't know if the elders in the family are in a hurry, and they all blame themselves for their whims at the time, and they just left, and they didn't even say hello.

"......" Jiu Luo saw that Fang Ru said something and shook his legs, knowing that this guy was distracted again, so he didn't bother him.

Shirtless, he walked over to the table and spread out the skin rolls on the table.

This was given to him by Gao Baolong after the ring competition.

Now the four top tribes, except for the Black Snake Tribe and the Frog Tribe, are already in his hands. Gao Baolong handed him several other big tribes who were moved by him, and the Wild Lion tribe had already given it to him by gambling when Gao Baopeng came to the door.

"There is still a short animal skin scroll of the Black Snake and the Qingjiao tribe, this exercise is equivalent to the collection, except for the eight desolations and eight styles, there is nothing special, if there is no "Hundred Beasts Fighting Strategy", I don't know if I can break through the realm. ”

Jiu Luo glanced at the exercises on the animal skin scroll, adding a partner to the animal family in the consciousness space.

Under the illumination of the light, his shadow seemed to come to life, and when his body did not move, he moved there and practiced the Eight Desolation and Eight Styles.

Knives, guns, swords, halberds, fists, palms, fingers, and legs, after practicing them one by one, the shadow stopped moving and turned back into a normal shadow.

As soon as the shadow stopped moving, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Come in. ”

Jiu Luo shouted, walked over to the chair, picked up the kettle, and poured three cups of hot tea.

The visitor heard the voice, pushed the door and walked in.

The leader was a blue-gray robed torture knife, with two young people behind him, one was Xingyang who had just fought in the ring, and the other had never seen it.

Xingyang's injury didn't affect him anymore, and when he saw Jiuluo, he also hugged his fists and saluted, which should be to thank him.

"Sit down, there's nothing to entertain, drink some tea. ”

Jiu Luo waved his hand so that Xingyang was not polite, beckoned them to sit down, and waved his hand to bring three cups of tea to them.

"The hunt will start tomorrow, but you are the referee, and you are not afraid of others talking about you when you come to me. ”

Jiu Luo spread the animal skin roll on the table like that, and he was not afraid of the torture and the knife when a few people saw it, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it to himself.

When the torture knife entered the door, he saw the animal skin scroll on the table, and with his eyesight, he could naturally see the words on the animal skin scroll, which tribe's exercises were recorded.

"Your Excellency, good means. The torture knife said quietly.

Jiuluo didn't agree with his words, he retorted: "I can't say that, I'm a newcomer, I don't know your way, this is not my operation, you all sent it to the door yourself." ”

What he said was the truth, after coming to Ice City, he was just fighting, he didn't have any plans at all, and what he got was sent by others crying and shouting, and he just exposed half of what he was holding.

"Not everyone is treated fairly. "The torture knife expressed his opinion on Jiuluo very vaguely, he would not think that if he changed to a person who only had the entry level of the master realm to hold the peerless exercises, he could still exchange with others like Jiuluo.

All this is based on the premise that Jiuluo's strength is stable over the masters of the Northern Regions.

"Okay, stop going around in circles, tell me what you're thinking. Jiu Luo listened to what he said vaguely, and lost interest in idle talk.

Hearing Jiu Luo say this, the torture knife sighed, and stopped talking off topic, but the young man who had never seen it saw Jiu Luo's bad attitude and wanted to say something, but he was looked back by the torture knife.

"Tomorrow's hunt, it is already certain that there will be sabotage by the Holy Clan, and there may be intrusions inside and outside the city, so I will stay in the ice city to ensure safety. The torture knife said some news that he had just received, and then said his thoughts, "The secret letter I received is very reliable, the Holy Clan dispatched their elite Night Wolf Guard, and the third holy race of the Holy Clan also came out, they colluded with some people in the Ice City, I haven't found out who it is." ”

"So you want me to ensure the safety of the hunting activities?" After Jiuluo heard the torture knife say that he would ensure the safety of the city, he thought about what he wanted to do.

"Yes and no. ”

Xing Dao looked into Jiu Luo's eyes, then turned his head to look at Xing Yang and the young man.

"Xingyang and Wen Luo will participate in tomorrow's hunt, I hope you will gather these young people and ambush the Holy Clan. ”

The torture knife not only wants to ensure the conduct of the hunt, but also wants to solve the problems caused by the Holy Clan at once.

"I got the news, the Holy Clan has dispatched half of its strength this time, and some of the people who lead the team are not weaker than Xingyang's strength, except for you and Gao Zhulong, it would be good if the others could save their lives. ”

"Ambush?"

Jiu Luo chewed on this word, the Holy Clan is in the dark, they are in the light, how can they ambush him, even if he is not a native of Bingcheng, but during this time, the people of Bingcheng know about his existence, and the Holy Clansmen have an internal response here, so they will naturally know, since they dare to attack like this, it means that there are still a few brushes.

"I knew about this plan of the Holy Clan a long time ago, and made some arrangements. The torture knife took out a roll of paper and spread it out on the table.

The scroll of paper was spread out, revealing a picture with countless curved straight lines, and dense annotations, but it was a map.

He didn't wait for Jiuluo to ask, and explained: "This is the place that Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain has explored, and it has been recorded in detail, and I have marked the places where the Holy Clansmen are preparing to ambush us, and I have also given Gao Luolong a copy of this map." ”

"If that's the case, then what's the benefit of me doing this?" Jiu Luo glanced at the map, already jotting down all the contents on the map.

Seeing that Jiu Luo just glanced at it, he didn't pay attention to the map, so he didn't put the map away, and said: "I know the promise that the Hundred Fox Tribe gave you, and the Wild Lion Tribe also has this plan, with your strength, it is more than enough to be an elder, but if you want to be a vice president, you still need some meritorious service." ”

Although the torture knife had not inquired about the conversation between Hu Buqi and Jiuluo, he could guess a little, and he couldn't be sure that he had guessed, and it was just a temptation at this time.

Jiu Luo glanced at him, and there was no surprise that his desire to be the vice president was known, because there was nothing to hide.

Jiu Luo pinched his chin and pondered for a while, the meaning of the torture knife was very clear, he went to participate in the anti-ambush operation, he could get the support provided by the torture knife, and he was elected as the vice president, although the hundred fox tribe had a promise that the fox would not give up, but I had to admit that what the torture knife said was reasonable.

The contradiction between Bingcheng and the Holy Clan is very deep, and if a new alliance is formed, then successfully stopping the invasion of the Holy Clan and achieving some results, such a feat can come in handy when recommending.

It's just that what Gao Baolong said is also very exciting, if there is really an ancient city ruins that are the same as Ice City, plus the most outstanding young talents in the Northern Regions, this is also a strong force.

How to choose?

Jiu Luo thought for a few seconds, left a decision, and promised to come down first, maybe there was no conflict between the two.

"Then I'll take the job. Jiu Luo rolled up the map and threw it aside, "But I have one condition. ”

"You say. ”

"I want you to roll the hides of the Frog Tribe and the Black Snake Tribe to me. ”

The torture knife stared slightly, and finally agreed.

"Yes, but I can't get the black snake tribe's animal skin roll right away, and the frog tribe's can give it to you now." ”

The torture knife waved his hand at Wen Luo, and Wen Luo took out a roll of animal skin from his bosom and placed it on Jiu Luo's table.

"I came prepared. Jiu Luo picked up the animal skin scroll and watched it directly.

"This is what I promised you, but the Qingjiao tribe is not in my decision, so it has dragged on until now, please don't be surprised. ”

"No strange, no strange. After reading the animal skin scroll, Jiu Luo felt that some changes had taken place in the world of consciousness, if it weren't for the torture knife still here, he couldn't wait to take a look.

"But I don't need your people to follow me, I will take care of the Holy Clan for you, but my clan will need you to take care of one or two. ”

The words have almost been said, Jiu Luo has the meaning of sending off guests, and he is anxious to see what changes have occurred in the world of consciousness.

He said bluntly, "Is there anything else to do with the Lord ......of the Torture Palace?

"Yes. The torture knife said straightly.

“...... Say it......"

"Do you know the three plagues of sin. ”

"I don't know. Jiu Luo frowned, "Does this have anything to do with me?"

"It's really related to you, I don't know if you remember the leader who was killed by you outside the city gates?"

"Remember, what, someone is going to avenge him?"

"That's not it, it's just that this person is a member of the Black Snake Tribe, and the Black Snake Commander takes advantage of this matter to make trouble, and wants you to enter the Valley of the Three Tribulations of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and sanitize the crime of the three calamities. ”

"Are you saying that if I didn't go through the three calamities, he wouldn't have handed over the Black Snake Tribe's animal skin scroll to me? Fortunately, I have seen several top tribes in Ice City, but the Black Snake Tribe has not dealt with me, so let me go to his house to sit. ”

Jiu Luo's tone changed, and the coercion that seemed to be absent dissipated, making Wen Luo and Xing Yang sit up straight and tense their nerves.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" said to the torture knife, he was afraid that Jiuluo would not be able to think about it, so he would directly kill the Black Snake Tribe to find the Black Snake Commander.

"The Black Snake Commander wants you to enter the Valley of the Three Calamities to eliminate your sins, but there is a strange thing in the Valley of the Three Calamities, called Ice Condensation Spring Water, which has the effect of moisturizing and repairing body damage and nourishing the soul. ”

"Ice Condensation Spring Water? There is such a saying?" Jiu Luo was a little suspicious, he had not seen any record of this Ice Condensation Spring Water in the Consciousness Palace of the Beast Skin Scroll.

But this is also easy to understand, because the records on the animal skin scrolls are all from a long time ago, and the exercises of that era may indeed not need external objects to assist in cultivation.

"I, the Hundred Fox Patriarch, and the High Patriarch of the Wild Lion Tribe are willing to endorse you on this matter, if you can retrieve the Ice Condensation Spring Water, then there will be no more surprises in the position of this vice president. ”

"You're calculating, so sure I'll say yes?"

"Over there under the Black Snake Commander, the Hundred Fox Patriarch has already come to the door, and you don't have to worry about the beast skin roll. Seeing that Jiuluo had no intention of refusing, the torture knife was relieved.

"But I listen to you, the Valley of the Three Calamities is not a good place to go, and no matter how much you promise, it will not work for the dead. Jiu Luo thought about it, and put these two things together and said, indicating that in tomorrow's hunting, these things can be done together, and after the hunt is over, the decision on the ownership of each position will be directly decided.

But why do I have to be in such a hurry to arrange the arrangement, what is there that I don't know? There are still some hidden things in this ice city that I haven't told me. Okay, promise him first, get the last animal skin roll in your hand, and ask Fox Buqi about the situation tomorrow before making plans.

"Well, if the skin scroll is in my hands tomorrow, I'll go and fetch the ice condensation water. ”。

"Yes. The torture knife voice was firm.

After sending away the three torture knives, Jiu Luo sat there and sorted out his thoughts, and then sank into the consciousness space to see what had changed.
