Chapter 221: Hornstone City

Hornstone is a new city, less than thirty years old, and still growing. It is not the same as most cities in the Roaring Kingdom. In the Roaring Kingdom, most cities of Hornstone City are built around the Wild Ancient Beast Tombs.

But the place where Hornstone City is located is like a barren land, and a few decades ago, it was completely orc territory. However, no one doubts the strategic value of the city. In the future, it will even become the most important national town of the Roaring Kingdom, and even the most prosperous and powerful city in the country.

Just because at the end of the grassland, there is a ghost god mountain. When the gates of the realm open there, the armies of the Roaring Kingdom will set off from Hornrock and cross the grasslands on a journey like never before.

When the time comes, a huge amount of loot from the conquest of the other world will be transported here in a steady stream. And here, it will also become the first stop in the conquest of the other world, which is bound to attract beast masters from the entire kingdom.

The rise and prosperity of Hornstone City was predictable.

For now, however, Hornstone is still a military powerhouse, with more than half of its population made up of orcists. The remaining half of the population is mostly minions of the orcists. Among these beast masters, forty percent are the army of the kingdom, and the remaining sixty percent can be said to be a mixture of fish and dragons, coming from all over the country. They are adventurers, hunters, merchants, speculators.

After changing his identity, Zhou Ming walked in the city, and he couldn't see anything special.

Since coming into this world, this is the first time he has entered a city inhabited by humans. The cities of this world are very different from the cities imagined by Zhou Ming. Dirty is the first impression, and what public health and the like is not there at all here. The second is chaos, the building is built in a very chaotic way, and it is built as you like, lacking overall planning. The level of construction is even more uneven, ranging from huge temples made of stone, to tiled houses with civil structures, and even sloppy shacks.

People in this world obviously don't have too high requirements for the living environment. The only reason for the existence of a city is probably to concentrate the population.

Slave markets abound.

This made Zhou Ming feel quite uncomfortable. After his secret observation, he found that in the Roaring Kingdom, only by becoming a beast master can he be regarded as a true citizen. Ordinary people, the status is quite low.

It took half a day, and Zhou Ming had already roughly turned the city around.

What to do next, he already had a preliminary idea in his mind.

In this city, there are many places to recruit military personnel. But the system of the Roaring Kingdom is not quite the same as that of the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas. In the Roaring Kingdom, once you join the army, you are a regular soldier. So their army is huge. Compared to the Kingdom of Mountains and Seas, the Kingdom of Roaring is much younger. It was a rapidly expanding and warlike kingdom. Although the domestic forces are also criss-crossed, they are just ant-like small roles in front of the country's army. As a result, military identities are very useful in this country. The screening of the mercenary system is not used, and the censorship of the Roaring Kingdom is also destined to be very strict.

If Zhou Ming wants to blend in with the army, he must have the identity of a soldier. Like he is now, a blank slate, definitely not qualified.

The first thing he had to do was to add weight and gild himself.

The so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, but fortunately, Zhou Ming has already had some good ideas after turning around this circle.

Dressed in animal skin, he stepped on animal bone combat shoes, and his face was painted with exaggerated three-color oil paint, plus an animal tooth head ring. Such a dress is full of the style of the Roaring Kingdom.

Zhou Ming walked on the crowded streets, his momentum was faintly revealed, and he looked like a teenager who was arrogant. Behind him, followed by a golden ape, with its arms hanging down, its momentum not obvious, like a loyal old servant, just silently following.

This combination of man and ape, although it looks eye-catching, is very common in Hornrock City.

Especially here, at the door of the iron-blooded roaring Chief.

No one cares whether this person is good or not.

There are more flamboyant and domineering existences around than Zhou Ming, and in comparison, Zhou Ming is simply too low-key. There was a lot of shouting, shouting, laughing, and shouting. The roars and screams that sounded from time to time in the arena came out one after another. Not surprisingly, the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Just a short time after Zhou Ming stayed, he saw with his own eyes that three unfortunate poor people were bitten to death by fierce beasts, and even one of them was eaten on the spot.

Zhou Ming felt that this place was even more barbaric and cruel than in the mountains.

Roar!

Just as Zhou Ming stopped to watch, a roar suddenly came from behind him, and the strong momentum accompanied by a gust of wind suddenly hit his side.

He looked back suddenly, and suddenly saw a huge black ape of five feet grinning and leaning down, and the palm of the golden ape fell on him.

The golden ape was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by it when he boarded.

"With this kind of quality, you dare to bring it to participate in the fight?"

On the shoulder of the black ape, suddenly sat a big man, seeing Zhou Ming looking back, he grinned loudly, and said with a high eye: "Little friend, you are afraid that you are still living in a dream, right? Take your hairy monkey and go home as soon as possible!"

"Flash flash, it's the ape that is coming!"

"This guy is finally back again!"

"Tsk, this time he found the real murderer!"

"Yes, Black Storm Ape, that's a very rare and ferocious thing!

"There's another good show in the Iron and Blood Roaring Arena!"

......

Zhou Ming has just arrived, and he has no way of knowing who this ape Teng is. Hearing the discussion of the surrounding beast masters, I realized that this fang turned out to be a well-known figure.

The strength of Ape Teng itself is already a five-rank beast master, and he is very strong. The black ape under him, although it was only an eight-rank beast, was just like the discussion of everyone around him, it was also not simple.

Zhou Ming didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he could only consider himself unlucky, and took the golden ape aside with a little resentment.

Seeing this, the big Han ape Teng snorted coldly, and was about to leave, but suddenly paused, looked down at Zhou Ming and said, "Boy, are you very unconvinced?"

Zhou Ming had already endured it, but he didn't expect the other party to be entangled. The fire in his heart jumped up as soon as he sparked, and Huo Di raised his eyes to look at Ape Teng.

"Hey, it's a bit bloody!"

Seeing this, Ape Teng laughed, still staring at Zhou Ming and said, "Tell me loudly, do you also want to participate in the beast fight?"

"So what?"

Zhou Ming took a deep breath and asked rhetorically.

"You have a golden ape, I have a black ape, since we met, why don't we fight?"

Ape Teng's eyes were compelling, and it turned out that he had such thoughts.

When Zhou Ming heard this, his eyes froze, and he looked directly into the eyes of the ape Teng and said, "Since Chen Ping and I came out of the mountain, you are the first person who dares to challenge me. Very good, I'm next!"
