Chapter 105: City of Steel VIII
Wu Wei saw that Phil's face was not good, and he didn't know why she was doing, so he asked, "Is the Snow Mountain Demon Ape very powerful?" Why are you looking like this? ”
"It is said that the northern continent is cold and winters all year round, and it is caused by this demon ape, do you say it is powerful! My great-grandfather and my father died at its hands, and it was a feud with my family, and my mother was afraid that I would die at its hands, so she was anxious to let me get out of here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Phil said quietly.
"Your family is really good at picking enemies, this revenge is not easy to revenge, right?" Wu Wei asked.
"Nonsense, it is said that the last city lord wanted to get rid of this demon and took more than half of the city defense army of Steel City to crusade, but the whole army was destroyed, and Steel City was almost lost in the later attack of Warcraft, I guess I can't revenge this revenge with my personal ability." Phil said hatefully.
"Well, I don't think you'd better give it away, but how miserable am I to hear its roar?" Wu Wei asked.
"It is said that it has a fatal wound on its body, and it roars like this every time it attacks, although its roar can be heard here, in fact, it is still far from here, it has been in the depths of the northern snow-capped mountains, and has never been close to Steel City, so everyone is used to its roar." Phil said.
"So? Will it rush over tomorrow in the festival war? Wu Wei asked worriedly.
"Probably not, after so many years of holding festivals, I haven't seen it appear." Phil said.
"I've never had a lot of luck as a person, and I always feel like it's going to happen." Wu Wei said.
"Crow's beak! Hurry up and go to bed, good night! Phil turned and left the room.
Wu Wei saw Phil leaving, felt bored, lay on his back on the bed, listened to the roars from afar, and unconsciously fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Phil ran over to pull Wu Wei up, and ate a little food in the restaurant downstairs, Wu Wei put the remaining three bags of grain and two bags of vegetables in the underground warehouse of the hotel, and walked out of the door of the hotel at Phil's urging.
When I arrived at the main street, I saw a group of people walking towards the north of the city, Phil said: "This is the festival procession, the one who walks in the front is the city lord, after three weeks around the city, from the mountain pass in the north to the north mountain platform, the end of the team is the contestants of the festival battle, you can follow in a while." ”
Wu Wei stood on the side of the street and looked at the city lord at the head of the team, and saw him riding on a black horse in silver armor, with a helmet on his head, and he could not see his face, and his figure did not look very tall.
Wu Wei joined the crowd at the end of the team according to Phil's words and walked towards the North City Passage. Along the way, people joined in one after another, Wu Wei counted about a hundred people, and Phil and the other spectators were far behind the team.
After a short time, he walked into the passage of the North Mountain, which was on the other side of the passage leading to the underpass, which was a diagonal passage with a steep slope, and the city lord also dismounted and led the group up. It was very quiet along the way, almost no one spoke, and Wu Wei didn't know anyone, walking silently in the crowd.
After walking for a short time, I saw the sun shining in front of me, and it should be the exit. Soon walked out of the passage, it was a huge platform, the city lord and a cadre of officials had already taken their seats, Wu Wei followed the contestants to the edge of the platform.
Walking to the edge, Wu Wei found that there was a small platform under the opposite side of a deep trench, which was no more than 50 meters long and wide, and the two platforms gathered 40 or 50 meters together, connected by a narrow steel suspension bridge.
This suspension bridge is more like a thick steel pipe, only more than half a meter wide, there is a steel wire on the left and right sides as a handrail, the whole suspension bridge with the strong wind in the valley can not help shaking, walking on it, looking at the abyss under the feet, can not help but make people frightened, several participants who joined in the fun, saw this suspension bridge and retreated to the spectator stands, the audience continued to boo the few people who escaped.
Wu Wei followed the people in front of him carefully across the suspension bridge, and when he arrived at the small platform below, he looked ahead, and at the end of the platform was a white jungle, and then there were undulating peaks, and I don't know how many terrifying monsters were hidden in this reckless mountain forest.
When all the contestants walked to the small platform, a team of shamans also walked down, and after a series of rituals, they left two small towers made of steel at the southeast and southwest corners of the platform, and then walked up to the large platform.
At this time, a person beside the city lord walked to the edge of the platform and said loudly to the contestants on the small platform below: "The bridge of life and death is about to rise, you can leave now!" After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that no one was walking back, he waved his hand to the soldier next to him, and the drawbridge slowly rose and rose high, so that no one could walk back.
Then the man took out a copy of the text and recited it aloud, and although the mountain wind howled, it could not drown his voice. Wu Wei probably heard some words praising virtues, and he didn't listen carefully, took out an apple and looked at his comrades-in-arms left and right while chewing it.
There are more than 100 people, most of them are in groups of three or five, and they are very scattered, only two teams of people are gathered together, one of which is a team of thirteen people, with strong physique, neatly equipped, faintly forming a queue, Wu Wei is estimated to be the military personnel arranged by the city lord. There were twenty-two people in the other team, one person stood at the head of the team, Wu Wei looked familiar, and when the person saw Wu Wei looking at him, he also looked back, and saw Wu Wei smile. Wu Wei immediately remembered that he was the leader of the bearded merchant who had greeted him at the cargo station, and Wu Wei still smiled at him.
At this time, a piece of paper had been read, and the man walked up to the city lord, picked up a golden box on the table, held it in the air, and announced to everyone: "This time the city lord's reward is ten stalactite jade syrup, which will be divided equally by the winner." After speaking, he placed it on a platform in the center of the platform and loudly announced, "The festival war begins!" ”
Wu Wei saw the bearded leader looking at the city lord's reward with yearning in his eyes, and knew that he was running a business this time, and the main purpose should be this stalactite jade syrup. Although I don't know this thing, it must have a miraculous effect.
Wu Wei was thinking about it when he noticed that a trace of white smoke came out of the upper end of the iron tower placed at the two corners of the platform, disappearing into the air with the mountain wind. Everyone on the platform looked reckless, armed with weapons in hand.
Wu Wei thought about it, and was unwilling to directly expose his strength, so he didn't take out the red-toothed sword, but took out a high-quality long sword and a spiked shield and stood in the crowd, waiting for the arrival of the demonic beast.
After only waiting for a few minutes, the reckless mountain in front of everyone seemed to have vitality, the white jungle shook slightly, Wu Wei released his perception and detected that a group of demonic beasts had reached the edge of the jungle, and then waited a few seconds to see a large number of demonic beasts rushing out of the jungle, and if you looked carefully, it was just some snakes, rats, beetles, etc., and there were a few hares, roe deer and the like, most of these small things were white, although the size was not large, but there were a lot of them, like a white wave surging towards the crowd.
