Chapter 43: Confrontation
Day and night alternate, and the blood moon is in the sky.
On the night of the canyon, there was not a sound in the jungle, and it was clear that any living thing had stopped its activity in the dark. There is only a bonfire, which signals the arrival of uninvited guests to the outside world.
Ken stared at the campfire, the light of the fire reflected in his enchanting eyes, the evening breeze blowing, the blonde hair lapping against his fair cheeks, and the slender ten fingers tightly twisted together. He has always been confident, but his mood at the moment is also swaying like a flame in front of him.
Rod walked over and patted him on the shoulder, his skin so dark that it blended in with the night that contrasted with Ken.
"It's not like you. ”
"I know, but it's not all about nervousness, it's more about excitement. They are strong enough to compete with us, but I am confident that victory will be ours in the end. ”
Ken smiled at Rod, the wild and uninhibited and warlike spirit at the moment seemed to be what he should be, and the exotic handsomeness was very eye-catching.
Rhodes smiled too, his white teeth like a moon in the night sky that appeared out of thin air, and he reached over Ken and grabbed a well-grilled skewer. Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew, and Rod shook his head helplessly, and scratched his fingers a few times, expressing regret that the food he had just arrived had been snatched away.
"Hey, Isabel, that's mine!"
Rod shouted, but there was no anger in his tone, no expectation of the return of the food, only a symbolic protest. After all, he had no temper with this beautiful girl and her delicate willfulness, and he had long been used to it.
Isabel has the same beautiful blonde hair as Ken, swaying in the wind when she runs around the campfire, and her blue eyes are like two smart night pearls, which is the brightest scenery of this ordinary night. She seemed expecting Rhodes to come after her, but Rode's honest and indifferent reaction disappointed her.
"Rod, you're just as boring as Ken, and if you keep doing this, Natasha won't like you. ”
It's hard to imagine what it's like when his dark skin is blushing, but at this moment, such a scene is really reflected on Rod's face, and the three words "Natasha" are like Rod's tightening spells, destroying his light aura in an instant.
"That's enough, Isabel, if you hadn't always told Natasha about my troubles, I would have chased her a long time ago!"
Isabel finally had a triumphant smile on her face, but in the next moment, a deep voice turned the blonde witch into a well-behaved blonde lady, and the joyful run came to an abrupt end.
"Isabel, give the food back to Rhodes, and apologize for what you just said. ”
Following the sound, the two people sitting not far from the campfire were carefully drawing a map of the canyon on parchment, and the three people next to them were obviously not suitable for such delicate work, so they were doing the rough work of making a fire and cooking. The person who spoke had a strange hair color, and he was a silver hair like Dao Lisen, the difference was that Dao Lisen's silver hair was caused by the cultivation of the exercises, and there was a sense of disobedience, and this person's silver hair seemed to be natural, which was in harmony with his noble and restrained appearance, and his aristocratic temperament was fully revealed. Ain kept his head down and looked at the detailed map carved on the sheepskin, seemingly unconcerned about the situation there, and the reminder was just a casual one. Pym on the side also did not react, and the pen in his hand never stopped.
"Yes, my dear brother Ain. ”
After a few eye exchanges, Rod finally ate the food that belonged to him as he wished, but he didn't dare to let the blonde witch go hungry, so he handed Isabel another string of meat to him, Isabel grimaced at him, she obviously couldn't stand this harmonious atmosphere, glanced at Rod and Ken, the expressionless wooden man sitting next to him, and violently bit the meat skewer in his hand, and then walked in the direction of the map duo.
"Hey, Pym, aren't you okay? I don't know how you do this time-consuming, boring job. ”
"Be patient, Isabel, this map is important for the next game. ”
Call!
The evening breeze became a little faster for no reason, and the five people who were busy with their own work became alert together.
A flash of fire accompanied by a loud eagle roar burst in, and Ken, who had been nervous and uneasy, instantly changed into a person, and the battle instinct took over his body, and the same fireball with the dragon's groan erupted from his mouth, and blasted towards the luan crown thorn.
The aftermath of the impact swept through a large area of the mountain forest, and countless birds and beasts should have been frightened away, but unfortunately this canyon was set so that they could not move at night. In the bare circular area with the explosion as the center, ten young people looked at each other from afar, and their eyes seemed to be playing a silent symphony of fate.
"Friends from afar, the way you greet you is amazing. ”
Ain spread his arms, and his innate convincing temperament immediately made him stand out from the five in front of him. Yun Yuan stared into his eyes, and from Ain's eyes, he seemed to see himself, calm and restrained, without meaning to overflow with brilliance. He instantly understood that the five people in front of him would be stronger than any opponent he had faced before.
"I'm sorry that we're not friends, but enemies. ”
"Friends and foes are not eternal, but my appreciation for you is that I would be happy to be friends with you if it weren't for meeting you in this icy arena. ”
"Looks like you know us well. ”
Ayn smiled, Yun Yuan did not feel relaxed because of his generosity, on the contrary, the pressure in his heart doubled. Yan Fei beside him seemed to see his thoughts, and took a step forward and said:
"We'll talk about that later, but the victory of this game, we have to decide. ”
He spoke with the same fierce spirit as Ken, and for some reason he felt that there was something in front of him that attracted him. The same feeling also appeared in Ken, who had always been cold, and he actually took a step forward.
"I guess you were the one who attacked you just now, and you should pay for your arrogance and rudeness. ”
"Hmph, wait until you can beat me. ”
The silence, or rather the atmosphere of slaughter, became thicker, and between the arrows and crossbows, the ten people seemed to have engaged in countless exchanges of ideas.
"I said, my dear friends, we're really rivals in this fight, but it's obviously not time to face each other yet, right?"
In the end, it was Aine who ended the endless confrontation, and he spread his hands again, his noble white skin and delicate facial features combined into a helpless expression.
"You're right, we'll battle it out in two hours, and we'll know by then. ”
Yun Yuan nodded at him, and in the next moment, the five members of the Linyuan team disappeared from Ain's sight.
"Maybe they should leave their names and go. ”
Aine said, spreading the parchment map in his hand on the stone and continuing to study it.
"Ain, do you think they're going to be ......"
Isabel suddenly wanted to say something but was stopped by Ain's eyes, his eyes rolled upward, and Isabel realized that they were now in someone else's space, and all their actions were under the watchful eye of others.
"Isabel, I know what you're worried about, but from the look in his eyes, I see only a firm belief that they shouldn't affect our plans. ”
Aine spoke, whispering in a voice that no one could hear:
"I hope this plan goes well. ”
......
"Is this the Heavenly Dragon Gate? They all look so strange. ”
Snake Nai said innocently.
"If you look at people like this, they may see you the same way. ”
Xiao Meng chuckled, and everyone laughed, as if they hadn't experienced the tense atmosphere just now.
"But that girl with blond hair and green eyes is so good-looking, and her skin is so white. ”
Zhu Junjie praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Is it pretty?"
Someone suddenly asked, Zhu Junjie nodded again and again, thinking that he had met a fellow practitioner.
"Yes, that little face is as delicate as it was carved. ”
Wait, this voice is a little familiar, Zhu Junjie turned his head in horror and found Xiao Meng who was squinting at him without joy or sorrow.
"That's right, it's like a work of art, it's much better than us black-haired and yellow-skinned people, right? ”
"No, absolutely not! You are definitely ...... in my heart."
Zhu Junjie was kicked to the ground without explaining, Xiao Meng showed no mercy in this kick, so he rolled on the ground for a long time with incomprehension and severe pain. Xiao Meng was still thinking about something quietly after kicking, Yun Yuan and Yan Fei were still immersed in the pleasure of meeting their opponents in chess, and they couldn't extricate themselves for a while, leaving only Snake Nai to care about Zhu Junjie who fell to the ground.
Ying Ruotian closed the scroll in his hand, which contained all the information about the Heavenly Dragon Gate.
"Everyone's identity seems to be no problem, Tianlongmen is also an ancient hidden sect known to everyone in the north of the Earthquake Country, only one ......"
Ying Lutian muttered to himself, suddenly stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and in front of him was the picture of the game between Lin Yuan and Tianlongmen.
"There is only one thing, the white race is mostly distributed in the extreme north region north of the earthquake country, while the black race is mostly distributed in the extreme south region south of the Gen country, although it is not uncommon for these two skin colors to gather together, but for an ancient sect like Tianlongmen that migrated from the Central Plains...... It's so hard to imagine that those old stubborns would let go of their prejudices about race. ”
After the emergence of the third race and the Cult of the Gods, racial discrimination has become a norm in society, so much so that differences in geography and skin color have become one of the influencing factors. Moreover, the more people who have experienced the calamity of the Gu God Sect, the more they are affected by it, and the idea that "if you eradicate dissidents, you can achieve peace", is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the older generation, and Ying Lutian scoffs at this.
"There's only one place where it's extremely common for people with different skin tones like this to get together. They are the only ones who have the ability to make those old diehards compromise......"
Ying Ruotian sat down and looked deeply at the red wine in front of his table and the screen in front of him, these convenient things seemed a little dazzling at this moment.
"Interesting, do the Yi people dare to move on our territory? I want to see how big a wave you can make?"
