The sky was getting overcast, the overhead was covered with a heavy gray, and soon a cold wind blew, the branches of the trees trembled, the streets were dusty, and the pedestrians began to get busy, a sign before the rain, and everyone was now rushing back to their homes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a while, the first thunder could finally be heard in the cloudy sky, followed by a rumbling sound, then a thin bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening thunder!

The bean-sized rain fell, and in an instant the whole world became a world of mist, and in a short time small rivers formed on the streets, and the water vapor on the roofs became heavier and heavier.

The rain doesn't seem to end anytime soon, but the enthusiasm of the people in the city is blazing.

In the hall on the first floor of a restaurant, there were all kinds of people gathered here, including young monks, strong men with big axes on their backs, and young women with proud figures.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant and Xiao Er are very busy, inside and out, up and down need to be served, one moment the table here will serve wine, and the other side of the table will have food, in short, they will not be relaxed today.

Because there are many people, so the hall seems to be very lively, the scene of chaos drives away the cold when it rains, such weather is the happiest thing to sleep with the door closed, cover the quilt and lie on the bed, listen to the sound of the rain, sleep is very sweet.

These people don't want to stay in bed because they have more important things to do.

Everyone gathers after reading the signs posted all over the city, and the forest to the north has always been a great attraction for everyone, in addition to the danger of it, there is also an inscrutable mystery in it.

Although there is something in the depths of the forest, it is just a legend, and no one knows who passed it on, but it does not affect everyone's imagination in the slightest, what is in the depths of the forest? Is it some kind of treasure? Or is it a mysterious ruin? Whatever it is, in short, through the decision of the city lord this time, everyone finally has the opportunity to witness it with their own eyes.

Most of these people are from the city, and some are passers-by from outside, and they also gathered after reading the notice, these people are all monks without exception, but their cultivation levels are uneven, the worst is only the foundation building level, and the highest has even reached the middle stage of Tuo I.

For many years, how many people have been to the northern forest, but no one has dared to go deeper, because of danger, because of fear, these elements add up, and it is impossible for one, two, or ten people to complete it.

It never occurred to anyone that one day, the lord of the city would organize a large army to explore the depths of the forest, and when the notice came down, some people still couldn't believe their eyes, and this matter meant a lot to everyone in the city.

Some people because of curiosity, some because of failure, some because of revenge, in short, this decision connected the hearts of the whole city for a while.

It was raining outside, and the voices in the hall were getting noisier and louder, and you could see everyone's enthusiasm and excitement.

After a long time of excitement, a burly man suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation, his voice was very thick, and said, "Everyone be quiet." ”

The whole hall fell silent, and as everyone's eyes looked at the big man, everyone stopped what was in front of them and listened intently to what the big man said.

The big man coughed lightly and said: "Everyone is going to join the team, right, in this case, then everyone is brothers, my name is Tian Qing, my cultivation is to set up my eighth layer, and it is the vanguard army who wants to enlist, I don't know what everyone is preparing to enlist?"

Everyone looked at it, and then a young monk stood up and said, "My cultivation is in the middle of my life, and I have raised a spirit pet falcon that can scout the terrain from the air, so I applied for survey. ”

At this time, a young woman who was gorgeously dressed and had a proud figure was holding a wine glass, her expression was very tempting, and she deliberately showed a pair of beautiful legs and said: "My cultivation is not very high, I know alchemy medicine, so when everyone is injured, you can come to me." ”

The men laughed, apparently attracted to the young woman.

After everyone finished the introduction, everyone also had a general understanding of the team this time, and the city lord meant that anyone could come to participate in this team, except for monks, but also mortals.

The establishment of a team, except for the important positions where the city lord is responsible for accepting the fate, the rest of the people have their own clear division of labor. The team's striker is responsible for leading the team forward and clearing the obstacles under their feet. Scouts are responsible for scouting the way ahead, choosing the best and safest route. The survey is responsible for observing the terrain, determining the weather and wind direction and other factors to guide the progress of the team, and others, such as logistics personnel, are responsible for transporting the necessary supplies, of course, the alchemist also has an indispensable component in this team, once the team encounters danger, someone is injured, must be treated.

After learning about the positions they were applying for, everyone was full of confidence in going to the forest to explore this time, and before, if it was one person, or even if there were ten people, such a thing would not have been unimaginable.

But this time, after a rough estimate, the entire team is expected to reach more than eight hundred, which is comparable to the number of people in a medium sect.

Everyone's hearts were full of confidence and expectation, and they were eager to act immediately, but in the past two days, the city had to be responsible for recruiting team members first, so the day after tomorrow was the day of the real march.

Although some people can't wait, they are helpless.

At this moment, a very rough-looking man suddenly pointed to a table in the corner and said, "Hey, look, is there a mortal sitting over there?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at a table in the corner in the direction that the man pointed, and saw that on a table in the corner, there was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see the slightest cultivation, and next to him sat a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who seemed to have just entered the country, and everyone looked at the two of them with curious eyes.

After feeling everyone's gaze, Lele was a little uncomfortable, and whispered: "Big brother, why do they look at us like this?"

Of course, Chengxing knows why, because in the entire hall, except for him, everyone else is a monk, even the owner of the restaurant and Xiao Er are all cultivated, and the purpose of everyone gathering today is of course not only to get to know each other, but also to understand the composition of this team.

In other words, the people sitting here today are all going to participate in the team of the day after tomorrow.

Sitting here with a person like him, who doesn't seem to have any cultivation, will naturally attract strange glances from others.

It was a pure coincidence that he and Lele came here, just because it was suddenly raining outside, so they came in to take shelter, of course, he must also participate in the team the day after tomorrow.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that these people got together in a planned way, which means that it was not an exaggeration to say that they had made an appointment in advance.

The rugged man walked to the table, looked at Chengxing with extreme disdain, and said, "Hey, you kid is also going to join the team of the day after tomorrow, aren't you?"

He was noncommittal about this, nodded his head, and looked at each other very kindly.

The big man suddenly shouted loudly: "Is there a mistake! A mortal like you is also going to join the team, do you have a broken head, do you want to send you to death? Hurry up and go back to where you came from! There is no need for an incompetent waste like you in the team! Did you hear that?"

The other party's voice seemed to be deliberately heard by the rest of the people, and for a while everyone had a look of indifference on their faces, and only a few people showed sympathetic expressions.

Lele heard that the man's words were not good, and retorted very angrily: "You don't have the right to say that, big brother!"

Chengxing asked Lele not to interfere, and said: "Why can't people like me join the team, is there any clear stipulation, or is it just your speculation? Can your decision alone affect the decision of the city lord? Then I want to ask, is the city lord's power great, or yours, who do we all want to listen to?"

The big man's face suddenly turned ugly, and he also looked a little flustered, this kind of thing is not a joke, even if he has the courage to trespass the city lord's decision, once the people of the city lord's mansion hear it, he must not have good fruit to eat. He hurriedly defended: "Nonsense, how could I have said that, we all listen to the decision of the city lord, you kid don't spread rumors, believe it or not, I will abolish you immediately!"

The others were all watching the excitement at the moment, but they were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and one person said: "Hey, what are you going to do to abolish him?" another person coaxed: "If you want to bully others, just say it, don't find any other reason, don't look like a man, hurry up, kill him!"

At this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant suddenly said: "Don't hurt the harmony, let's discuss something well, discuss it well." ”

Of course, the embarrassing thing is that no one listens to what the restaurant shopkeeper says.

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, suddenly the door of the restaurant was pushed open from the outside in, and everyone was startled.

In the wind and rain outside, I saw a pair of guards walk in, and the leader announced to everyone: "The city lord has an order, the departure time of the team is one day earlier, and it will leave on time at noon tomorrow." ”

Of course, everyone was very happy when they heard it, and the city lord's decision was simply undesirable for them.

It's just that the guard's next words made everyone stunned, and they didn't react for a long time.

"The city lord has also ordered two cooks to set off with the team! ”

After listening to a few breaths, everyone realized what the last sentence said, and for some reason, everyone turned their eyes to the table in the corner!
