Episode 45: The Monster of the Silver Tree Ball (2)

Everyone walked out of the underground iron platform unsatisfied, and always felt that they had just taken the train and had not enjoyed enough of the beautiful scenery along the way. The old patriarch saw the thoughts of Meng Meng and his party, and said with a smile: "Haha, today's Scorching Sun Market Martial Arts Contest is a grand festival for our Silver Tree Ball, wait a minute, there will be the king, the queen and other people from the palace to attend, wait a minute, I will introduce you to the king and them, if we win the martial arts competition, we will be invited to the palace to participate in the banquet." When the time comes, you will have to return to the underworld, and if you are lucky enough to go to the king's palace, it will be an eye-opener. ”

"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed, and Xinxin said to the black-hearted leopard-faced demon, "Behave well, we are optimistic about you." The black-hearted leopard-faced demon replied repeatedly: "Of course, it is my honor to compete with the players of my own country, and I will definitely show my best." ”

After a while, everyone came to the scorching sun ruin, and saw that under the scorching sun, there was a huge stone platform, and the king and queen were sitting on the diamond-encrusted chairs in the middle of the platform. Sitting on either side of the king were ministers and relatives of the imperial family.

The arrival of Meng Meng and his party was particularly eye-catching, so the king invited the old patriarch and others to come over and talk a few words. The king greeted the old patriarch in an easy-going manner and said, "Old patriarch, you have worked hard all the way. Tell us about your friends. ”

The old patriarch said: "Meng Meng and a few of them are from a distant love ball, they are escorting the missing person of our country Black-hearted Leopard-faced Demon home. ”

"Oh, and that matter! Is it related to our recent disappearances in the country? ”

The Black-Hearted Leopard-Faced Demon himself said: "Dear Your Majesty, I was separated from my parents in the Silver Forest since I was a child and was taken away by the Demon Ball, and later I met the Love Ball and let me get out of danger, recalling my childhood experience, this time I was able to return to my homeland, thanks to their help, I just want to find my parents as soon as possible." ”

Meng Meng hurriedly smiled and said: "You're welcome, the demon ball has captured a lot of people, poured a kind of cloud soup into them, mentally controlled them, ran rampant in the universe, and drove bad things, we just did something that should be done." ”

The king politely said, "I have heard a little about the deeds of the Love Ball, and you are a great guardian of the universe. It's just that I didn't expect the demon ball full of evil to run to our planet to catch people, our planet has few people and is poor, and everyone usually lives in seclusion deep in the woods or underground. I didn't expect this to attract the attention of the demon ball. ”

The king then asked the Black-Hearted Leopard-Faced Demon with concern, "Do you know what your parents' names are, and the Black-Hearted Leopard-Faced Demon is your name, do you have any other names?" ”

As soon as the black-hearted leopard-faced demon heard the king's words, tears fell and said: "I remember when I was a child, my parents changed my name to Hehe, and the black-hearted leopard-faced demon was my title when the demon ball was sealed, and before it was only a numeric code. ”

The king was sad and said, "Ah! Poor hard-working child, take the surname of the long-lived village, and you will be called Yinghe in the future. I will send people around to find out the whereabouts of your parents, and if he finds your parents one day, I invite you to the palace as guests. When the queen and her subjects heard this, they unconsciously left tears in their eyes.

The black-hearted leopard-faced demon said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

His Majesty then announced that the jousting tournament would soon begin. Then the gongs and drums on the stone steps beat deafeningly, and then the guards in the front row of the Sun Ruins played a long instrument made of octopus-like roots, and then the people under the Sun Ruins retreated to sit on the ground around the big stone flat.

There are a total of 9 villages participating in the competition, and they are divided into 3 groups to face off. The winners of each group will then face off against the other two groups in turn, and the winner will be selected as the village and the top three players.

The first round is a showdown between Dongtong Village and Arashi Village.

The old patriarch said: In previous years, it was the village that won the game, and the location of the village was the only place where the grass and warblers flew in the silver tree ball and the air was not so dry. It rains here several times more often than in other places. Therefore, the people of this place love to go around in the woods, and most of the food on the ground in the palace has been paid tribute by the village of Yutong. In other villages, people spend more time underground, and they can also practice martial arts underground, and there are relatively open cave sites, and there are many wild vegetables in many places, and of course, there are many cute little animals underground.

Meng Meng and the others carefully watched every competition on the Silver Tree Ball, and found that the people here were extremely flexible in fighting, and they all liked close combat, and they used less in flying. However, there was a competition on the wall, which opened their eyes. It turns out that the people on the Silver Tree Ball are particularly good at climbing walls and trees, and their hands and feet can be used as claws, which can also be seen on the body of the black-hearted leopard-faced demon. It's just that the black-hearted leopard-faced demon can't climb trees, and because he doesn't stay on the Silver Tree Ball all year round, his physical muscles are not as developed as those on the Silver Tree Ball, and the men and women on the Silver Tree Ball are more fit. Make good use of darts and shoot arrows.

In the first round of the game, as the old patriarch expected, Dongtong Village won. The first champion was born called Weitian. This person's kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the wall is particularly powerful, standing on the silver branches at a height of tens of thousands of meters, walking as light as a swallow, and his jumping ability is particularly good.

In the second round of the competition, one of the games was played on the silver tree, and all the jousters climbed the tree as if they were walking, and for a while they were out of sight in the tree, and sometimes they were too quick to see only one by one, and the king and queen were all watching with special binoculars. I saw that Weitian of Dongtong Village and Ying Nuo of Changshou Village both used the oldest bark whip as a weapon, and this game was mainly to compare who can knock the opponent from the silver tree to the ground even if they win, that is, people cannot leave the tree. The two of them shuttled back and forth between the trees, and the long bark whip was as powerful as a python, and the two of them drew blood marks on each other. Seeing that Ying Nuo was about to be thrown off a tree branch in the air, Ying Nuo, who was light and strong, grabbed the tail end of a branch in a hurry, jumped up and down, and stood back on the branch. Ying He ran to a thinner branch on Ying Nuo's head, and whipped Ying Nuo hard this time, leaving no more branches to scratch underneath. Ying Nuo, who was chasing from a high altitude, was successfully caught by the soldiers below with a stretcher made of Softsilver tree flying. This contest is almost a complete victory for the village.

Only the Black-Hearted Leopard-Faced Demon came to the rescue, though the king had given him a new name. But the magicians on the Love Ball still used to call him the Black-Hearted Leopard-Faced Demon. Both the king and the old patriarch shouted towards Yinghe, "Come on! Yes! ”

Before the black-hearted leopard-faced demon came on the field, he had already studied the tricks of Ying Nuo thoroughly, although the black-hearted leopard-faced demon was not very good at kung fu in the tree, but the next thing was to compete with spears on the field. This is the strength of the Black-Hearted Leopard-Faced Demon, he is extremely powerful and good at stealth. The tricks are particularly ruthless. Weitian just stabbed at Ying He with a spear, Ying He struggled to jump into the air and jumped to the ground, and the spear in his hand slammed into the ground beside Wei Tian, directly shaking the ground into a long pit, and Wei Tian fortunately dodged quickly, otherwise this stick would have been killed.

Just when Ying He and Weitian were in full swing and were about to win, suddenly two black shadows appeared in the forest, and many silver trees were quickly moved to the field of the Scorching Sun Ruins, and everyone ran in horror, shouting: "The monster is coming, the monster is coming, run!" ”
