Chapter 374: New Progress
The man was walking in the alley when he suddenly felt a breeze blowing behind him, and when he was about to turn around to take a look, he found that his feet were off the ground.
"Who is it?!Don't you know that this is Cangming City??, you dare to commit murder in the street!" Although he was a little flustered, the man quickly calmed down and roared loudly.
Naturally, it was Chen Bai who attacked him, at this time, there was no trace of temperature on his face, he stared at the man coldly, opened his mouth slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Did you take my soul lamp?"
The man shuddered at the sound of fright, endured the fear in his heart, and said in a fierce voice, "Who took your soul lamp? Don't you spew blood! I tell you, it's too late for you to stop and apologize to me." You traitor who is a traitor on the street, you are simply looking for death in Cangming City, you know?!"
Looking at the man with a cold face, Chen Bai did not have the slightest emotion on his face, but slowly increased the force in his hand.
Although most of the mortals who have not cultivated in the underworld exist in the form of soul bodies, due to the particularity of the underworld city, even if they are just mortals, they will become physical beings.
As a relatively unique Cangming City in the city, the mortals who enter here are more like a normal person.
His face turned red, and the man's legs in the air began to kick wildly, kicking Chen Bai's body many times. The place where he was kicked instantly turned bruised.
But Chen Bai didn't feel anything, just stared at the man quietly and didn't say a word.
He doesn't care, but that doesn't mean others won't care. Chu Ruoqing, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore, and with a flick of the weak water sword, the man's legs fell in response, and the stump fell to the ground, turning into a cyan soul body and dissipating between heaven and earth.
However, the interesting thing is that although the lower half of the body has been cut off by the weak water sword, there is no blood flowing out of the wound, but it is directly healed.
Feeling that his lower body had disappeared, the fear that the man had been hiding finally broke out, and he howled directly.
"Ah!~!!
His eyes lit up, and Chen Bai, who had been expressionless, instantly increased the strength in his hand, and asked a little eagerly: "Where is the soul lamp?!"
"Big guy, big guy spare his life! The little one will tell you, tell you! Will you put the little one down first?" The man's face turned purple, his eyes began to turn white, and his voice seemed extremely laborious.
After thinking for a while, Chen Bai nodded, and as soon as he let go of the man's hand, he threw the man who only had half of his body left on the ground.
"Oops!" the man cried out as he gritted his teeth in pain, halfway to the ground.
"Don't pretend to be garlic with me!Where is the soul lamp?!" Chen Bai's tone was anxious and revealed a strong murderous aura, he had now determined, not to mention anything else, this guy was a complete weak chicken under the weak water sword.
Although he was completely weakened in this place, Chu Ruoqing beside him only needed to be strong enough.
It's not that he didn't know that Chu Ruoqing had just killed ten black-clothed people with a sword, but he was really not in the mood at the time, so he didn't mention his interest.
Stretching out his hand and rubbing his waist, a little coldness flashed in the man's eyes, but this coldness only stayed in that flash.
Immediately afterward, his face was full of flattering smiles, and he said mysteriously: "Let me tell you, your soul lamp was sold by me and sold to a big family, and I am sure that only I know where your soul lamp is now." How about I'll show you there now?"
Glancing at him coldly, Chen Bai nodded, didn't say anything, just lifted him up from the ground and said, "Show the way." ”
Hearing this, the man hurriedly pointed in one direction, and said with a smile: "It's in that direction, just follow me." ”
Chen Bai did not hesitate and walked directly in that direction. Chu Ruoqing put away the weak water sword and hurriedly followed.
Seeing that the two of them really followed the direction they pointed out without hesitation, the man's eyes showed a little coldness and pride, unlike before, this time his eyes have been fixed.
Walking along the streets, the surrounding scene kept changing, and soon they entered a place that Chen Bai had never seen before.
The streets here are extremely narrow, and it is better to say that it is a street than a hutong.
On both sides of the alley are low and dilapidated bungalows, the bungalows are full of potholes, and there are obvious holes in some places, through which only a piece of black hole can be seen.
As the only passage of the hutong, the road that was originally used as a passage has been pulled into one line after another, on which layers of clothes and bedding are dried.
There was a strange smell in the air, spicy and pungent, and a little sour.
On the narrow passage, from time to time, a few people hang out with each other, and because they have almost physical bodies, they also show the state of skin and bones more intuitively.
If they were alive, they would probably have starved to death.
Walking on the somewhat sticky alley, Chen Bai was silent.
Even if it is as powerful as the imperial capital of a country, there will be such a backward and poor place.
Carried by him, the man looked at everything in this alley, his eyes full of disdain.
This is where only inferior people live!
This is where those inferior people who have squeezed their scalps all their lives just to enter Cangming City live.
"Ahem!" However, he cleared his throat, opened his mouth slightly, and shouted loudly: "All the untouchables should come out and see Lao Tzu!
The yellow, cloudy eyes of the skeletal-like inhabitants who were originally thin and shriveled and skeleton-like appeared lit up the moment they heard the man's voice, and then rushed towards them like madmen.
Fat sheep from the upper district, this is a simple and easy-to-understand pronoun.
As the name suggests, Cangming City is generally divided into five areas: the main city, the imperial city, the upper district, the middle district, and the lower district, and each area is clearly divided between each area and must not interfere with each other.
For example, when Chen Bai entered Cangming City before, he only saw the main city and the imperial city, and he didn't even enter the upper district.
Needless to say, the place where the ancient river wind lives represents the face of the Canglan Kingdom, although the appearance is not very magnificent, but the interior layout is full of low-key luxury.
Most of the inhabitants of the main city are aborigines who have lived in Cangming City since a long time ago, and a small part of them are soldiers and their families brought in by Furukawa Feng when he captured Cangming City.
Like Qishui and others, they belong to the latecomers, and the eldest grandson family is the head snake that has existed in Cangming City since ancient times.
Of course, there are also people who can live in the main city. That is, those gentry who live in other big cities or giant cities, when they enter Cangming City, in addition to providing a large number of crystal nuclei, they can also provide a letter of recommendation from a certain big force in the underworld, and they can also become residents of the main city.
And the so-called superior district is just a very general name.
None of the residents living here are the aborigines of Cangming City, they all entered later.
It's just that these people have accumulated a certain amount of wealth in their long career in medium-sized cities or small towns, and after paying enough wealth and being accepted by the locals, they spontaneously form a place.
However, although they have money, they still send people under the fence after all, and they are a head short of others. Even if it's called a superior district, it's just a joking name with some irony.
As for the middle area, not to mention, most of these people come from small towns, a few come from the fertile wilderness, after these people enter Cangming City, because there is not enough crystal nucleus to pay, they can only pay almost all their wealth, they can build their own residence in a not very good place, these people because their own accumulated wealth has been exhausted, so most of them are engaged in not very decent jobs in Cangming City, but they can barely get some income.
The inferior district, as the sub-district with the largest population base in the fifth-class district of Cangming City, is also the most miserable.
Most of them come from the wasteland villages of the Underworld, and although they have the name of a village, they are just a name. They don't get any resources when they're in the wasteland, so it's even less likely that they'll be able to pay a satisfactory tribute when they enter Cangming City.
For these people, Cangming City showed enough generosity, although they did not pay their wealth, they also let them in.
However, this treatment can also be imagined.
They will gather in a small, geographically located area, relying on building materials that have been eliminated from the upper and middle districts to build their dwellings, and due to their special circumstances, it is almost impossible to find a job in Cangming City, and they will have to slowly die of starvation.
In fact, if they didn't enter Cangming City, their soul bodies would not be starved to death.
However, what makes them yearn for a giant city like Cangming City is the special ability that can transform entities.
No one would know how much the soul body would wish it had been an entity unless they had experienced it firsthand.
In fact, if you want to have a physical body, wearing armor is also a good way.
However, the city guards of Cangming City are all elite, and the selection rules are extremely strict, and the iron law that the minimum requirement is a medium district has already ruined the hope of all the residents of the lower district.
And the main reason why the fat sheep in the upper districts make the residents of these lower districts so excited.
If they can get a part of the fat sheep, even if it is just a small piece of meat or skin, they can be adequately compensated by the corresponding family in the upper district.
Because most of these fat sheep are children with some skins in the superior area, sneaking out of the superior area to play. The common characteristic of these people is that they are very popular with their families of origin.
In this way, these people will also be willing to give up enough wealth to redeem their children.
Looking coldly at these low-class residents who were sharpening their knives and expressions towards pigs and sheep, the corners of Chen Bai's mouth twitched, but he didn't pay much attention to them, just turned the man around, and said with a sneer: "Hmph, do you have anything else to say?"
"Hehe, you are still so hard-mouthed when you are dying?! You really make Lao Tzu a little admired. It doesn't hurt to tell you, my soul lamp was sold to the Holy Hades Auction House. But it's a pity~ You won't be able to see that thing again in your life. You're already in the lower zone, so don't even think about leaving. The man's face was full of sneers, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Turning to look at Chu Ruoqing, who was already ready with the weak water sword in her hand, Chen Bai nodded at her. The latter's comprehension jade hand waved violently, and the man who had just been invincible instantly disappeared and disappeared forever.
At this time, many residents of the lower districts had also rushed to the front, their eyes were full of almost pathological greed, and Chen Bai at this time was just a very valuable piece of fat in their eyes.
Without waiting for Chen Bai to speak, the weak water sword turned into thousands again, and a blue drizzle instantly drifted in the sky.
After the rain passed, there was no longer a single figure in front of them, and all those who rushed towards them were gone.
Looking at the empty front and the alley that had been riddled with holes due to the impact of the weak water sword, Chen Bai's eyes did not show the slightest bit of pity, but were full of coldness.
Chu Ruoqing, who was beside him, put away the weak water sword and looked at him silently.
Unlike when I was in the main city before, even if so many people died here at once, there were still no soldiers coming to patrol.
"Side Quest: The Vanishing Soul Lamp, progress update. The host is to proceed to the Hades Auction House as soon as possible. Noah's prompt sounded.
However, this time Chen Bai did not act as quickly as usual, and was still silently looking at the empty alley in front of him.
After a long time, he silently turned his head and walked in the opposite direction without saying a word.
Half an hour later, he finally couldn't hold back.
"Ruoqing, do you know where the Holy Immortal Auction House is?" With a bitter face, Chen Bai looked at Chu Ruoqing beside him speechlessly.
Covering his mouth and smiling, Chu Ruoqing couldn't help but feel very funny when he saw that he was so cold and unusually cold just now. However, she only shook her head in the end, she had been to the Holy Nether Auction House, but she was still very young at the time, and she was brought by the master, and now she has no impression at all.
Seeing her shake her head, Chen Bai was helpless.
"Noah, where is the location of the Holy Hades Auction House?"
"The system assists in starting, and the secondary map is about to navigate the host. Noah's mechanical voice sounded, and then a 3D map appeared on the light screen, and a red arrow pointed straight ahead.
Taking a sharp breath, he walked in the direction pointed by the arrow on the light screen, without hesitation.
