Chapter 063: The Great Fire
After a night, Li Maicheng woke up, and at this time, it was lively outside the Seven Star Inn, and there was an endless stream of caravans on the street, and Li Maicheng quickly got dressed and got up.
And at this time, Bai Ruoxue came, and she took Li Maicheng to the Seven Star Inn for breakfast, and at this time, Zhang Qian, Ganfu, Koi Monster, Jin Xiqing, Su Chengxuan, and the soldiers of the mission were also eating breakfast one by one.
Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue sat at a table with them and ate breakfast.
Zhang Qian said: "Maicheng, I heard that you passed the first level of the Snow Charm Forest yesterday, and you will go to the second level tomorrow." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, Master, this second level is to go to the Divine Palace in the Yucuo Snow Mountain to grab the Lingzhi grass, whoever grabs more will have a better chance of entering the top forty." ”
Zhang Qian said: "This sounds like the second level is so difficult." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, Master, and we also have to compete in the Snow Mountain Shrine for a day, find enough Ganoderma lucidum grass, and find the exit on the other side, and then we have to pick more Lingzhi grass than anyone picks, and those Ganoderma lucidum grasses are guarded by rare beasts, we have to collect those Ganoderma lucidum grass, and we must defeat those rare beasts." ”
Zhang Qian said: "Yes, it's very difficult, you have to be more careful." ”
As they were talking, Lu Zhanzhe, Bai Xiaoyan, and Wu Shitong also got up.
Li Maicheng saw them coming and said, "Brother Zhanzhe, Brother Shitong, Brother Xiao Yan, come on, sit here, everyone eats and drinks together." I asked the innkeeper to add a few pairs of chopsticks, serve good wine, and let the musicians play music for us. ”
Then Su Chengxuan shouted to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, come here, add three pairs of chopsticks to our table, and bring up the best wine, and let your musicians play beautiful music." ”
The little second said, "Okay, guest officer, I'll go and prepare." ”
Then the little two went down to prepare, and after a while, the little two brought the dishes, chopsticks, and good wine, and the beautiful musicians also played the guqin, guzheng, and pipa for Li Maicheng and them to enjoy.
And Li Maicheng stood up, raised his wine glass and said, "Brothers, let's drink the first glass of wine, and salute us for passing the first level of this competition." ”
Then they all raised their glasses and drank.
Lu Zhanzhe said: "Maicheng, this second cup is a tribute to the long-lasting friendship between us and you." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Brother Zhanzhe, then let's toast together, I wish our friendship will last forever, and we can successfully pass the Snow Mountain Shrine in the second level." ”
Then one by one they stood up, raised their glasses, and drank bitterly.
After drinking, Li Maicheng ate the food, and then said, "Brother Zhanzhe, you are the king of the gladiatorial arena of the last session. You have the experience of passing the second level. ”
Brother Zhan Zhe said: "If you want to pass the second level, you must not only cooperate together, but also distribute the Lingzhi grass properly, so that everyone can pass this level, and also fight with other participating heroes, because they will also snatch the Lingzhi grass from us, so our team will be divided into three waves, the first wave I, Maicheng, and Wu Shitong are responsible for defeating those rare beasts." And the second wave of giant ape monsters, Zhou Xiaotian was responsible for snatching those Ganoderma lucidum grasses and taking those Ganoderma lucidum grasses. The third wave of Bai Xiaoyan and Su Chengxuan were in charge of fighting those who came to snatch the Ganoderma lucidum grass. In this way, we will be able to snatch more Ganoderma lucidum grass more efficiently. ”
Li Maicheng heard this and said, "That's great, just do it." ”
Lu Zhanzhe said: "This is one day before tomorrow's game, let's all relax and rest for a day." Rest well, recuperate and save taxes, so that you can pass the second level of the Snow Mountain Shrine. ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Brother Zhanzhe, by the way, what is the third level of the competition?"
Lu Zhanzhe said: "Maicheng, after the second item, we will go back to the gladiatorial competition, and there will be hundreds of thousands of people watching our gladiatorial competition." ”
Li Maicheng said: "That's great, then my master, Ruoxue, and the soldiers of the mission can go and watch and cheer for us." ”
Lu Zhanzhe said: "Okay, you can, but you have to pay attention to safety, this is compared to the top ten, the top ten must be either demons or immortals, or cultivators, when the time comes, if there is a monster who has done a lot of evil into the top ten, he didn't get the first place in the end, and then stirred up trouble, then it would be troublesome." ”
Li Maicheng said in a panic when he heard this: "Brother Zhanzhe, are you saying that when the time comes, when the time comes, when the time comes, there will be a lot of evil demons to cause chaos?"
Lu Zhanzhe said: "Yes, have you heard of the snow-stained canyon, but there are many people missing there. But I still don't know what kind of monsters are stirring up trouble in the snow-stained canyon. ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Zhanzhe, don't worry, as soon as the soldiers of our mission finish the competition in the past few days, I will take my junior brothers and sisters to kill the snow-stained canyon, I want to see which monster is so bold and dares to go wild." ”
Bai Xiaoyan said: "Brother Maicheng, I have lived in this Shengyue City for a long time, and I have also heard of the snow-stained canyon, which is a hundred times more dangerous than the ghost market, I still advise you not to go, it is very dangerous there." ”
Hearing this, Li Maicheng looked at Bai Xiao Yan carefully and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, you are too worried, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I also have to go through it, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Bai Xiaoyan said casually: "Okay, just because I didn't say it." ”
Then they listened to the musicians play beautiful music, and after eating, they all went back to their rooms to rest.
Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue returned to a guest room, and then kissed affectionately like dry firewood.
Li Maicheng kissed and said, "Ruoxue, I love you so much." ”
Bai Ruoxue kissed Maicheng and replied: "Maicheng, I love you so much, your arms are so generous, your heart is so warm, it makes me feel extremely down-to-earth." ”
Li Maicheng kissed and took off his white shirt, and then the two of them were affectionate and forgetful.
After a burst of clouds and rain, Li Maicheng hugged Bai Ruoxue in his arms and said, "Ruoxue, follow me all the way west, you have suffered." ”
Bai Ruoxue blushed and said: "Maicheng, as long as I can follow you all the time, even if I can endure all the hardships of the world with you, I am also willing." ”
When Maicheng heard this, he was a little moved, and then kissed Ruoxue's forehead and said, "Ruoxue, sleep, we won't go anywhere today, just hold you and sleep for a day." Sleep until tomorrow morning. ”
Ruoxue nodded and said, "Okay, Maicheng." ”
Then Li Maicheng hugged Bai Ruoxue, and they fell asleep.
Gradually, a day passed, the sky gradually darkened, outside the Seven Star Inn, the sky was full of stars, and a group of black-clothed people masked their faces flew to the roof of the Seven Star Inn, and then lit torches, lighting every corner of the Seven Star Inn, and suddenly the Seven Star Inn was on fire.
Li Maicheng smelled the heavy smell of smoke and quickly woke up, he looked out the window and saw a sea of fire in front of him, he quickly put on his clothes, woke up Bai Ruoxue, and said: "Ruoxue, get dressed quickly, let's go quickly, this Seven Star Inn is on fire." ”
Bai Ruoxue quickly got dressed, and then the two of them quickly flew out of the window, and at this time, the outside of the Seven Star Inn was already surrounded by those black-clothed people, all holding bows and arrows.
And Su Chengxuan also flew out of the fire, and saw that he was surrounded by people in black outside, and quickly transformed into a giant dragon and rushed into those archers with bows and arrows, and the masked archers were bitten to death one by one, while Li Maicheng flew into the inn full of fire to save Master Zhang Qian, he flew into Zhang Qian's room, only to see that Zhang Qian had fainted from the smoke, and he picked up Zhang Qian and flew out.
And Jin Xiqing, Zhou Xiaotian, and Koi Monster also flew out one by one, and then saw that many soldiers of the mission had not come out yet, so they flew into the fire to save the soldiers of the mission.
And Wu Shitong, Lu Zhanzhe, and Bai Xiaoyan also flew out of the fire one by one. Wu Shitong saw that the periphery of the Seven Star Inn had already been surrounded by those masked archers, and rushed over with a big axe, slashing and killing the masked people one by one.
Lu Zhanzhe slashed with a big knife and cut down masked killers one by one, while Bai Xiaoyan stabbed fiercely with a halberd and stabbed down archers one by one.
In front of the fire, they fought in the dark, and the corpses were all over the field, and gradually Zhou Xiaotian and the koi monster rescued the soldiers of the mission one by one.
Because the Seven Star Inn was on fire, it quickly alarmed the King of the Moon Palace in the snow, and he personally brought a large number of palace city guards to rush over, and gradually, the periphery of the Seven Star Inn was surrounded by the city defense army of the King of the Seven Stars.
Those black-clothed people saw that the periphery was also surrounded, and they panicked and wanted to fight a bloody way to break through, but the city defense troops on the periphery were too fierce and it was always difficult to kill a bloody way.
And Li Maicheng took the Zhuying Sword to slash and kill the leader of those black-clothed people, only to see that the leader was wearing an iron mask and was also dressed in black.
Li Maicheng slashed and killed with the Shadow Sword, and shouted, "Are you a ghost or not, tell me quickly." ”
The masked man was slashing with a knife, but he didn't say a word, and at this time, Lu Zhanzhe and the koi monster also came over, they surrounded the masked man and slashed and killed, while Wu Shitong flew over, and attacked from behind the masked man, and an axe slashed at the back of the masked man's head, and immediately slashed blood.
Seeing this, Li Maicheng stabbed with a sword, stabbing the masked man in the chest, and the masked man fell to the ground and spat blood and struggled a few times, and then died.
Li Maicheng saw that the masked man was dead, and quickly went to uncover the masked man's iron mask.
When he unveiled it, he was shocked, this masked man was not a ghost spirit, but Xie Zhihua who he had saved in the Snow Charm Forest.
When the other men in black saw that their leader was dead, they threw down their swords, swords, bows and arrows one by one and surrendered.
The king of Hao led the city defense army to arrest all the men in black.
King Yu was also curious, and came over to see who the masked man was, and saw that it was Xie Zhihua, and then said to Li Maicheng: "Brother, you know this person." ”
Li Maicheng said: "His Royal Highness, in Lower Li Maicheng, I do know this masked man Xie Zhihua, we met in the Snow Charm Forest, and finally worked together to escape from the hole under the plum tree. ”
King Yu sighed and said: "It's a pity, this Xie Zhihua, I also know, he and Princess Xuele are childhood sweethearts, and they have always liked Princess Xuele, but Princess Xuele doesn't like him." He participated in this gladiatorial tournament in order to win in the end and marry Princess Xuele. ”
Li Maicheng heard this and said: "King Yu, this Xie Zhihua, what is the family doing, how can you invite so many people in black." ”
Wang Sui said: "Maicheng, this Xie Zhihua is the young master of the Xie family on the rich side of Shengyue City, I'm afraid that if you kill him this time, his father Xie Guanghao will come to trouble you." ”
Li Maicheng listened to this and said: "His Royal Highness, then I ask you to protect us, now the Seven Star Inn where we live has been burned by fire, and there is no place to live, and the inn in this city is not safe, it is not a secret, we are the envoy of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent us to the Western Regions to find the Dayue Clan, in the hope that they can send troops to assist us in fighting against the Xiongnu." ”
As soon as the king heard that Li Maicheng and they were from the Han Dynasty, he said: "Okay, you go back to the Shengyue Palace in the snow with me, there are city guards there, Xie Guanghao is here to take revenge, and he doesn't dare to attack the palace." ”
Li Maicheng heard this and said, "Thank you so much, King Yu, thank you so much." ”
Then Li Maicheng, Su Chengxuan, Lu Zhanzhe, Wu Shitong, and the soldiers of the mission followed King Yu back to Shengyue Palace in the snow, and those men in black, King Hao ordered the city defense army to be released, and those men in black carried the dead Xie Zhihua back to Xie Mansion.
