Chapter 375: Human Favor
Qiu Xuan stood there and watched for a while, and put on her fluorescent green step-awe-in-the-cloud bubble noodle wig without saying a word.
Just kidding, who knows if those two black-robed killers have any special channel to contact Lin Buge, and she is still counting on Lin Buge to pay her for the time being.
The knife turned around in his hand, and another figure suddenly appeared on the narrow street corner.
The three people present were shocked almost at the same time for a moment, but immediately after, the two black-robed people suddenly discovered that the strangely dressed person who suddenly appeared was aiming at them. The two glanced at each other, and almost instantly counterattacked with years of good experience.
"Who are you?"
Qiu Xuan's addition lightened the pressure on the executioner's fellow performer a lot, and he took a breath in his spare time, and glanced at the other party's amazing fluorescent-colored seaweed head. "Do we know each other?"
"We've seen it at the Gluttony Contest." Qiu Xuan said casually, if he knew him well enough at this time, he should know not to ask in front of the black-robed man again, so as not to reveal his identity. Fortunately, as soon as the title "Gluttony Contest" came out, the man frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
The strength of these two black-robed killers is quite tricky.
It is normal for a man to be entangled with the two of them at the same time and fall into disadvantage, if Qiu Xuan comes alone at this moment, she will probably be able to do it to this extent. If you want to win outright, the price you have to pay will be terrible.
Fortunately, the current situation does not require one person to play against two at the same time.
One dodged sideways, and the black robe material in front of him changed. Qiu Xuan turned his head sideways and brushed past one of the black robes who was close at hand, and at the moment when he was about to leave, as soon as his wrist flipped, several fingers reached in from the cuffs and pressed on the skin on the back of his hand.
“!”
"How could it be ......?"
Qiu Xuan's expected result was that because she knew that the Elpis virus could only have a momentary effect on a living opponent of such a level of strength, she could take advantage of this short moment to let the executioner behind her pick up the harvest.
But what was unexpected now was that almost immediately after the plague virus took effect on the human body, she almost immediately made contact with the black-robed man in front of her.
And...... The so-called "skin" touch of his subordinates is not the skin texture of a normal person at all, but with a kind of ...... She can't describe that feeling, if you have to compare it, it is probably equivalent to touching a small strange thing when you touch it, the skin of the thing is rough and even a little hard, but if you really want to press it, it is easily soft.
Finally, you look at it and see that it's a worm that has been half crushed by your fingers.
My day, don't think about it anymore.
Qiu Xuan pursed her lower lip, manipulated him to turn around directly through contact, and turned around to attack the remaining black-robed man.
It worked.
"What's going on?" The man next to him gasped, but he didn't dare to relax too much, holding his weapon tightly at all times to guard against changes that would come at any time.
"They are not living people." In order to ensure the accuracy of his words, Qiu Xuan took advantage of the moment when the manipulated black-robed person held down the other person, and raised his hand to plant a virus on the remaining black-robed person, and as expected, the contact was obtained almost quickly.
"Neither." She then said, "They should be corpses, through ...... Somehow, it became what it is now. ”
The two black-robed men now bore the mark of the Elpis virus, and they couldn't stay to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Qiu Xuan stepped forward to uncover the hoods of the two.
“……”
“!!!”
In an instant, an overwhelming black curtain surged towards the two of them, and the man was shocked and immediately propped up a transparent barrier, but in the next second, he found that the position of the support was not right, and the inside of the barrier had already been lost.
Qiu Xuan hammered him and told him to hurry up, took out a coat from the accompanying space with one hand, covered himself from his head, half-squatted against the corner of the wall, and shrunk as much as possible to expose himself to the outside of the volume.
Fly.
Dense flies, like locusts crossing the border, poured out and covered their faces at the moment when the black robe was revealed.
Qiu Xuan's head was covered in the coat, which was a thick material, and even if she was wrapped in all directions, she could hear the buzzing sound in her ears as if it was through a layer of paper. The buzzing of the flies is amplified by a hundredfold, and the human ear even transmits a concussive hallucination to the brain under the violent influence of such decibels.
In the end, they could barely tell whether they were deaf or if a fly had taken the opportunity to drill into the human body through any hole in the human body, such as ears, eyes, nose, mouth, etc.
"Hey, it's over."
I don't know how much time passed, Qiu Xuan took the coat off her head, and then opened her eyes to see that the narrow alley that should have been familiar had a kind of abruptness. She closed her eyes again to calm down, and even though all the flies in front of her had flown away, she still had a lingering delay in her ears buzzing.
The man took a few deep breaths and gasped, sat down next to her with his wrist propped up, suddenly thought of something, and pointed to the ground for her to see. "After the flies fly away, these two things are left in it."
It is two human bodies lying on the ground in blue and white, corpse spots have begun to emerge in some parts, and there is a virus totem that Qiu Xuan has just planted on the inside of the arm that is half rotten, it seems that this is the secret hidden by the "black-robed killer" underneath.
"I don't know if they will be corpses, burn them."
This was an excuse to take advantage of the fact that the sign of the plague virus had not yet been seen on the side of Limbug, including the man next to him. If you don't have to expose it, try to avoid the trouble you can avoid.
"Okay."
The man nodded, fumbled and took out a lighter from his pocket, and lit the fabric of the black robe.
"Let's get out of here first."
"Hmm."
……
"Anyway, thank you for helping me." The two of them walked along the stone path of Drow City, and the man said, "You're also a executioner, but I really don't remember where we met before." ”
"I just went to ask Lin Buge to answer, and I happened to see a conflict between you and him." Qiu Xuan said, "I haven't seen anything else, I just teleported to this testing ground." ”
"Oh, I just came."
The man said, pausing abruptly and turning his head a little seriously. "I don't know how you used to get into Drow when you first arrived, but any executioner who has ever entered Drow knows that Limbug's words cannot be trusted. In other words, you can't trust him when it comes to anything about money or profit. ”
"Thanks, I'm just looking for a place where I can get money." Saying that, Qiu Xuan also stopped and glanced at him, "What did you say, what do you mean that I can enter Zhuoer City just after I come, is it difficult to enter Zhuoer City?" Or are there any restrictions on newcomers to the proving ground? ”
As if remembering some bad memory, the man sighed. "There are no restrictions, but the people who can get into Drow City are the ones who won the first place in the Gluttony Contest. - Of course, this is one method, and another ...... Buy alcohol. ”
"Wine?"
"Also, you're new here, and you haven't had time to figure out how this world is built, have you? I can tell you all about my experience so far, and I can repay you for helping me just now. ”
"Deal."
The World Plane of Famine, if converted according to the flat map that spreads out, there are probably three main regional continents.
Drow, Beam, and Auxer.
Drow City is where they are now, and it is the only normal place where people can "live" compared to the other two. Although most of the aborigines could not have enough to eat under the influence of the famine, and the number of people who starved to death at home was by no means small, at least there were relatively normal ways of trading for food and water.
Ordinary people in Drow City at least have this "opportunity" to continue to live.
And Drow City is also the only place where tickets are given out for the Gluttony Competition, which is why at the just-concluded Gluttony Competition, the woman sitting on Qiu Xuan's left told her, "Only those who win can have the next chance to win, and it is almost impossible to get it by their own strength." Because in each match, only the eventual winner will get a chance to enter Drow City, and will continue to have a chance to get the next ticket.
In addition, the method of issuing admission tickets is also extremely demanding, and the requirements are very tricky. At that time, the man seemed to roll his eyes when he said this, and then asked Qiu Xuan to "experience it yourself in the future."
Next, the beam, which is the range of the arch that Qiu Xuan has experienced, is where the gluttony contest is held. There are many beams in this world, and the one she experienced before was only one of the lower levels of several "beams", and those beams with larger patterns and richer competitions were intended for executioners or natives who had won a certain number of victories in the Gluttony Contest.
The beam is the "bridge" between the two places, and it is only through the beam that it is possible to travel between the city of Drow and Auxer. It's easy to get to Drow from Drow, but the only way to get from Drow is to win the Gluttony Contest held once a month on each crossbar.
Of course, if there is no way for those who have an average appetite and can't win by eating anyway, there is another way to enter Drow City-
Through the "beams" of various places, buy wine from Zhuoer City.
Buy a bottle of wine for a cup of blood, and offer twenty bottles of wine, and you can get a chance to enter Drow City.
For ordinary aborigines who have not undergone any enhanced transformation, the concept of twenty cups of blood can almost draw a person to half dry. And even if those executioners were physically fit enough to draw that much blood at one time without dying, he would definitely be in a state of severe blood loss and weakness and dying for a considerable period of time after entering Drow City.
In this state, if you encounter a black market trafficker, this trial is basically over.
This is why the executioners in Auxer rarely sell blood to enter Drow - of course, it is a more effective way to buy alcohol from other people's blood, provided you are confident enough to walk by the river without getting your shoes wet.
As for the last place, Auxer, it is a veritable disaster.
There's not a trace of food in sight, and the only things that can be "eaten" are those of the same kind that walk around you. The blood of the same kind, the flesh of the same kind, live on these things, and then fight each other to fight and snatch for the sake of saving up enough twenty cups of blood to enter the city of Drow as soon as possible.
"Anyway, Osier's place, you'll never want to go back after a month there." The man took a long breath, the wrinkles between his brows were twisted so that they could trap the fly, and as if he didn't want to say more, he waved his hand to avoid the topic. "But this proving ground is shuffled once a month."
"Huh?"
"Whoever enters Drow doesn't mean they have peace of mind from now on, and they have to buy alcohol in addition to dealing with the prohibitively high prices here."
Qiu Xuan was surprised: "You still have to buy wine when you enter Zhuoer City?" ”
"Drinking, to be exact." The man groped for his wrist, "Oser doesn't matter with the beam, but because of the special geography of Drow City, wine is a must-have for everyone in this place. Ordinary people must consume a bottle of wine every day in Drow City, otherwise they will die of kidney failure - a glass of blood a day is not a burden for people of our physical fitness, but if one day you encounter a situation like today, when you are injured and on the verge of severe weakness, a glass of blood may well kill you. ”
"As for the shuffle I said, it can be said that it is the malice of this testing ground."
He sighed heavily, "Every executioner who spends enough month in Drow City will be forcibly sent to Osier. At this time, you will often need to prepare a ticket to the Gluttony Tournament in advance, or blood to exchange for wine, to ensure that you can enter Drow City again. If you don't have any preparation after a month, you'll have to stay in Auxer. ”
"One of my lessons learned is that when you're in Drow, you can't afford to miss any opportunity to prepare for anything you can. Because there are some things that you still have the ability to prepare when you are drow, and in the same situation, in a place like Orsay, you are basically waiting to die. That's probably some of the lessons I've been able to teach you in this arena for so long, really, the early stage of this trial is really dominant, and the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it becomes. The longer you stay here, the more you feel like your body is dragging you down, and then the vicious cycle becomes more and more hungry and weak. Eventually, they were either eaten alive or starved to death, and then the corpses were eaten. ”
After listening to all his words, Qiu Xuan was silent for a while, and said, "Then what is the main line of this trial?" ”
