Chapter Two Thousand and Sixteen: Besieged
2016
The Third Ring, which is a place that is completely different from the previous two areas.
Xu Taiping entered the Third Ring for the second time.
The first time I entered the Third Ring Road was nine years ago.
That year, he was still a young man in his early twenties, he had just gone through some of the most basic training, and then he was sent to the City of Fear by Lao Z, that is, Zhao Taixun, and after staying in the fourth and fifth rings of the City of Fear for a while, Xu Taiping felt that his ability was enough, so he entered the third ring, and as soon as he entered the third ring, he met the seventeenth ghost general.
At that time, the ghost general gave Xu Taiping the same feeling as when Xu Taiping saw Zhao Qingshan a year ago, it was a completely invincible feeling, but even so, Xu Taiping at that time still challenged the ghost general, and finally failed miserably, and was broken legs, and was thrown out of the city wall directly from the city wall.
At that time, Xu Taiping was almost dead, but he had a big life and did not die, his uncle saved him and protected him until he recovered, and later, Xu Taiping was picked up by Zhao Taixun, and he never had a chance to come back.
What the hound said before was not what Xu Taiping thought at that time, Xu Taiping didn't want to go, he wanted to enter the third ring again after being strong, but Zhao Taixun didn't allow it, and he didn't have any way, so Xu Taiping also left a timid impression on the hound and others, of course, none of this matters now, because the hound is dead, and even Blowing Snow is dead.
The third ring is much more barren than the fourth and fifth rings.
As far as the eye could see, it was all snow, whether it was a house or a road, there was snow everywhere.
Because of the small number of people, the snow on the road here is much thicker than the fourth and fifth rings, and when people walk on it, the snow directly submerges to the knees.
The people who enter the third ring from the entrance, each scattered, almost few people will follow the direction of the previous person, because all the people who enter the third ring are here to look for opportunities, they want to find the ghost body, and then strengthen their own opportunity, these people and the ghost soldiers in the third ring are opponents, ghosts will appear every night, the number is limited, the ghost soldiers who live in the third ring guard the whole city, do not let others snatch their ghosts, and the people who come outside, the strength is relatively weak, to avoid the ghost soldiers, do not let them find out, if they are lucky, they will be ghosted, and then become stronger, if they are unlucky, they will be found by the ghost soldiers, and then killed directly, and some of the stronger ghost soldiers, their goal in entering the Third Ring is to hunt ghost soldiers, and then become ghost soldiers with badges, which means that they can not be attacked by other ghost soldiers, they can live freely in the Three Rings, and then be ghosted.
The Third Ring Road is not so much a residential area, but rather a hunting ground, with ghost pawns and ghost soldiers, some hunters here, some prey...
"It's a very exciting place. Xu Taiping said as he walked.
"You can feel it!" Cavendish crouched down and grabbed a lump of snow on the ground.
The snow was already red, stained red with blood, and underneath the snow was a pale human face.
Here, a man died, and he was buried in the snow.
Cavendish shook off the snow in disgust, and then said, "We must enter the second ring as soon as possible, according to the information I have received, the ghost hunting ground that challenges the ghost king is in the second ring." ”
"Hmm!" Xu Taiping nodded, pointed to the front and said, "Keep going, if nothing else, you will be able to cross the third ring and reach the second ring in about half an hour." ”
"It's not that simple. Cavendish said.
With Cavendish Shih's words, two men appeared in front of Xu Taiping.
These two people actually have Satan's badge on their chests, which shows that these two men are ghost soldiers!
One of them was squatting on the ground, the other was standing, the one standing was carrying a huge knife on his shoulder, and the one squatting had a cigarette in his mouth.
These two people are both yellow-skinned people, one has a single eyelid, which looks like a kimchi country, and the other has some dark skin, which should be Southeast Asian.
"Do ghosts dare to come to the Third Ring?" the man who was squatting on the ground and smoking a cigarette looked at the skull badge on Xu Taiping's chest, and asked with a frown.
"We just want to get into the third ring, we don't want to fight. Xu Taiping said seriously, he would not be afraid of the two people in front of him, the so-called ghost soldiers, in general, are the strength of the ground level, Duanmu Huaze's strength can be regarded as the top here, let alone him, it's just that Xu Taiping doesn't like to make the movement too big, they came with a purpose, and there must be a tail arranged by Henry behind them, and the movement can be a little smaller.
"Who really wants to fight? You want to come to find ghosts, and there are only so many ghosts that appear every night, and if ghosts get on you, we will have one less chance of being taken by ghosts, so anyone who is not a ghost soldier is our enemy here. The man crouching on the ground said.
"Okay..."Xu Taiping sighed, since people didn't let him go, then he could only get rid of these two people as soon as possible, and then move forward.
Just when Xu Taiping was about to make a move...
Woohoo!
Two sounds of breaking the air suddenly sounded.
The two people in front of Xu Taiping pushed away separately!
Two arrows pierced where they were standing.
"Someone again?" the man with a cigarette in his mouth frowned and looked at Xu Taiping's side.
Xu Taiping also looked at his side.
I saw that about ten meters next to him, several people were standing there, and two of them were holding bows and arrows.
Hot weapons are not allowed in this place, but cold weapons are allowed.
"Don't let them go!" shouted one of the blond-haired men in the group.
Subsequently, this group of people rushed directly towards the two ghost soldiers, and at the same time, several people suddenly jumped out of the house behind the two ghost soldiers, and these people blocked the retreat of the two ghost soldiers!
There must have been a dozen of them in this group of people, most of them wearing demon badges.
"It's you?!" the man with the cigarette turned to run away.
However, he was slow after all.
A dozen men had surrounded all their retreats, and then the dozen or so men launched a stormy attack on those two men.
In less than half a minute, the two were already in different places, and the satanic badge on their bodies had been taken away.
"You don't have to thank me. The blonde man walked up to Xu Taiping with a smile and said, "Those of us who come in from the fourth and fifth rings should help each other." ”
"This..."Xu Taiping was a little embarrassed, he really didn't want to thank the other party, but when the other party said this, he didn't seem to be able to thank him.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Erwin. The blonde man said.
"Oh, thank you for saving us, Mr. Elwin. Xu Taiping said.
"You're welcome, haha, what's your name?" Elwin asked.
"My name is Xiao Xu. Xu Taiping said.
"Xiao Xu? You are from Huaxia? You come to the Third Ring, why don't you find an organization? It is difficult for a few people to survive here, why don't you join us, more than a dozen of us gather together, and our strength is still very strong, basically we can kill them when we see ghost soldiers! Let's stay together until the night, and then find a place with a lot of ghosts, then the chance of being ghosted is greater, and when you are ghosted, other people can help protect you, which is much better than a few of you alone!" Erwin smiled and extended an invitation to Xu Taiping.
"No, we still have business. Xu Taiping said.
Hearing Xu Taiping's words, Erwen's face suddenly darkened.
"Are you looking down on us?" asked Erwin.
Xu Taiping didn't expect the other party to change his face so quickly, he said embarrassedly, "We really have something, our goal is not a ghost." ”
"Heh, which person who entered the Third Ring didn't come in for ghosts? What you said is too uncredible, are you worried that we will rob your ghosts too much? Let me tell you, here, except for your strength is strong enough, otherwise, three or two people together, there is only a dead end, I advise you to join us, at least you can live!" Erwin said coldly.
"No, the three of us can do it. Xu Taiping shook his head and walked forward.
"Cut, what kind of character are you? I was scared by the two ghost soldiers just now, but I pretended to be saved by us!" someone said disdainfully.
"We are waiting to collect your bodies. Someone shouted.
Xu Taiping didn't hear it and walked forward.
After walking about a few meters away, Xu Taiping stopped.
It's not that Xu Taiping wants to refute these people, but he sees that someone has appeared in front of him, and there are still a lot of people!
Erwin and the others also saw the group of people who appeared.
That group of people, each with the satanic badge on their chest!
Satan's badge, that means that each of these people is a ghost soldier-level powerhouse, and the total number of these people... It's more than 100 people!
Hundreds of ghost soldiers suddenly appeared, blocking Xu Taiping's way, and at the same time, blocking Xu Taiping's retreat.
A total of hundreds of ghost soldiers surrounded Xu Taiping, as well as Erwin and others.
Erwin and the others' faces changed drastically, they didn't expect to encounter hundreds of ghost soldiers here.
"Bastard, we're in ambush!" Elwin exclaimed excitedly.
"Ambushed?" Xu Taiping frowned, looking at the ghost soldiers who surrounded them.
Then, a ghost soldier with brown hair and a stout figure walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Xu Taiping and the others.
"I've finally caught you!" the brown-haired ghost soldier looked at Erwin coldly and said, "You have entered the Third Ring so many times, and you have been in a group every time, how many ghost soldiers have been killed, this time, we will also hold a group, and everyone here will not want to leave!!"
Hearing this, Erwin's face was as white as paper.
