As we all know, all the gates of Penglai are very strong and unguarded.

The secret lies in its inner workings.

Only a certain level of energy can open the door.

Therefore, unless your own level is up to standard, or there is a leader, it is absolutely impossible to break in.

Chen Shihu was already holding another pillar of fire under his eyes, he nodded and asked, "Then what?"

"We didn't meet the standards, and we didn't have a guide?"

Qiu Chan smiled and nodded, what Chen Shihu said was not wrong.

But............

"It's up to you and me here, Jianming. ”

Jianming was almost asleep from the warm pillar of fire, and he was basically not listening to the autumn cicada at all.

"Huh, what?"

Qiu Cicada ignored Jianming's state, but walked towards him step by step.

There are some things that can be understood faster by doing than by saying.

He placed one hand on Jianming's shoulder.

In the next moment, Jianming was completely sleepy and immediately woke up.

He felt...... From his shoulder, where the autumn cicada touched, spiritual power was flowing into his body.

Jianming immediately understood what Qiu Cicada meant.

Both of them are people who can manipulate the flow of spiritual power, so they can naturally control the flow of spiritual power freely......

In other words, as long as half of Qiu Cicada's spiritual power is injected into Jianming's body, Jianming will temporarily have a strength level comparable to that of the Martial Saint level.

Then Jianming, who can be comparable to the level of a martial saint, will be the guide to open the gate, and the rest of Qiu Chan and Chen Shihu can enter with them......

Without further ado, do what you say.

Jianming's palms were against the gate, and the autumn cicada was against Jianming's back, luck, force.

Sesame opens the door.

..................

Soon, the three of them took advantage of the night to touch the reference room.

It's more like a huge library than a reference room, and most of the books are related to martial arts.

History is only a small corner of the bookshelf.

The three of them went their separate ways, and only found this small corner with the help of the flashlight of their mobile phones.

"There it is!"

The two of them came to Chen Shihu's side, and three bright lights hit the scroll that had accumulated dust.

This is a ...... 'School City Plane Map'.。

From top to bottom, four-three-two-one......

"There's no fifth-class, huh?"

Jianming stepped aside and picked up another scroll.

'Penglai Population Survey Statistics'

He read it word by word.

"The population of Penglai is as of XXXX...... A total of 500,000 ......"

Chen Shihu was a little surprised. There was also some stumbling in the words that came out.

"Five...... 500,000 people?"

Qiu Cicada asked with some curiosity: "500,000? Is that too much or too little?"

Chen Shihu said with a sad face: "It's a lot, it's definitely a lot, although it is a small number compared to the world's major powers, but 500,000 is definitely not a small number......

"What's more...... During the day, we couldn't tell that there were so many people living in the streets we walked through...... The scale of the building is really unreasonable...... Finally...... What's going on?"

Suddenly, Jianming heard a high note that caught the attention of the two.

"Hey, come and see this!"

Jianming is illuminated with light, and it is a ............

'Hierarchical Population List'?

He pressed his finger to the scroll and slid it to the left little by little, reading out everything he had passed through.

"First-class nationals, about 500 people......"

"Second-class nationals, about 3,000 people...... This means that there are at least 3,000 warriors in this country who can fight......"

"Third-class nationals, about 20,000 people............ It seems that there are not many warriors who have not graduated from the school......"

"Fourth-class citizens, 80,000 people...... That's the normal amount we can see on the street today......"

Finally, a giant icon appeared on the tip of Jianming's finger.

"Fifth Class National ............"

The three of them couldn't believe their eyes. Jianming's fingers also trembled slightly.

"More than 400,000 people ............"

Chen Shihu was suddenly shocked.

"400,000 people, do fifth-class citizens occupy more than four-fifths of the country!?"

Qiu Cicada's face was not much better, and he swallowed his saliva.

"Why...... Can't see fifth-class areas on the map? Why do you ...... To isolate so many people?"

Jianming was a little flustered.

"What the hell are they ...... Where?"

..................

After a period of searching, the three of them finally found the location of the fifth-class license area.

At this point, he had left the data room and was heading towards the sewers in the center of the city.

I easily found the location of the entrance, and what appeared in front of me was the entrance to the huge sewer pipe that could be seen everywhere.

Kicking inwardly, with all kinds of uneasiness, the three of them walked inward along the dark and damp pipe.

Maybe it was too quiet and a little crazy, but Jianming still said some cheering words.

"This is ahead...... It's the fifth-class license area. ”

Chen Shihu continued: "Well, the information that records the direction and entrance is easy to find......

Jianming nodded.

"Yes, when I went to ask the martial artist of the school tonight, he also said that he would tell us when the time comes, maybe the Fifth Permission District itself is not a secret......

Chen Shihu is still very uneasy, this huge number is far from reality.

What they are approaching is probably the darkness of the country......

"But...... I still can't believe that more than 400,000 people live in such a place...... For what?"

............

............

The two also had no answer to this.

The autumn cicada, who had been thinking silently, spoke.

He said, "Just look at it with these eyes." ”

In front of the dimly lit corridor, a little light appeared.

"It's here. ”

Before their eyes could adjust to the bright light, the three of them covered their eyebrows with the back of their hands and walked forward.

！

Chen Shihu was suddenly shocked, his feet were empty, and he almost stepped on the air.

He immediately withdrew his hand blocking the glare and looked at the scene under his feet.

The scene was so heart-wrenching that all three of them were shocked............

Chen Shihu's feet are a huge staircase without guardrails, and the stairs lead to a flat foundation layer after layer, on which there are countless identical-looking bungalows, and the center of the foundation is layer after layer...... It was the abyss that Chen Shihu almost fell into.

If you look closely, you can see that around the identical bungalows, on the foundations of each floor, there are people moving......

Chen Shihu was shocked, and the imaginary nightmare finally became a reality.

"Really...... Streets were built underground......"

Jianming did not panic.

"That alone isn't enough for us to understand why we're here, so let's go down and have a look. ”

Qiu Cicada was still in deep thought, and only nodded in agreement with Jianming's proposal.

The three of them walked slowly down the stairs and into the street.

The empty streets seemed very deserted, and occasionally people looked rather decadent eating and drinking at the wine table, and scolded loudly.

From time to time, there are also people sleeping on the street, unclothed, mothers who are breastfeeding their children, smoking cigarettes and drawing heavy makeup.

In several alleys, men and women are eating unknown pills, drinking alcohol, and doing obscene and dirty things.

Sandwiched between two dirty-looking men with scars on their faces is a woman with tattoos on her face.

When the woman saw Jianming's gaze, she showed a mocking expression.

"Why ............, what kind of noble warrior would be in such a place?"

............

...............

None of the three replied, but their eyes were sad.

"I always feel ...... This street ......"

"It's not ordinary. ”

Qiu Cicada also agreed, he always felt ...... This street ......

"There is a strange sense of disobedience......

Compared to the streets I saw during the day, it was a different world............

Chen Shihu sensed some other sense of disobedience, he turned his head to look at Jianming and asked, "Jianming, what's wrong?" Why don't you look energetic, haven't you rested much in the past few days, and you're a little tired?"

It doesn't matter if you don't ask, this question, Jianming also feels that his state is not normal.

Tired, inexplicably feeling a feeling of exertion.

So Jianming immediately began to check the condition of his body.

..................

？

Jianming found that something was wrong, the spiritual power content in his body was less than when he opened the door, and it was even less less without doing anything!

Just when he wanted to find out why......

Qiu Cicada suddenly shouted, "Look at that!"

Here it is again, the two of them are used to the autumn cicada being startled and fussing about everything.

But this time the two of them were wrong, what Qiu Cicada pointed out was worthy of both Jianming and Chen Shihu being shocked.

What appeared in front of Chen Shihu's eyes was a weak and weak little girl who fell to the ground.

What appeared in front of Jianming's eyes was the little girl and the surrounding residents who gradually flew upward...... Psychic birds.

"People on the street...... Spiritual power is gradually infiltrating outward, what the hell is going on?"

Chen Shihu had already run to the girl's side and helped her up with one hand.

"Are you alright?"

Chen Shihu checked her pulse and confirmed the extremely faint facts, and then panicked.

Jianming rushed to Chen Shihu's side and hurriedly explained to Chen Shihu.

"This child's spiritual power is gradually leaking out, and it is about to leak out, if this continues...... Soon it will be dead. ”

Just when Chen Shihu just wanted to sigh that Jianming could be so calm in this state......

The girl in his arms trembled and stretched out her little hand to Chen Shihu.

There were tears streaming down his weak face, he was weak and out of breath, and he spit out a few words.

"Save ...... Help me......"

............！！！

At this time, Chen Shihu and Jianming both panicked.

"External and internal injuries can be treated in the hospital, but the energy can be lost...... People are getting weaker, and there is nothing they can do!"
