Chapter Twenty-Nine: Facing the Heroes
In an underground cave a thousand kilometers east of the Dusk Tavern, it is said to be a cave, but in fact it is just a small passage more than a meter high. But in such a small underground passage, there are thousands of people waiting in line, Wang Tianao, Qian Baoshan and Xu Liang are also in the queue.
"Lao Wang, Lao Qian, fortunately we caught some jade worms last time, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with this time. I heard that the Overseer was not in a good mood when he went out a while ago and encountered a strong enemy with a lot of losses, so we need to be careful. Especially old money, stop grinding and chirping. Xu Liang whispered to the two, looking around vigilantly.
The line moved slowly, and at the very front of the line was the highest and most spacious position in the entire passageway. There is a square table with silver glass bottles on the table, which contain flying jade insects.
Next to the square table sat a cold man with a big knife on his back, and the true qi in the big man's body was strong, at least the realm of the late stage of the ninth stage of true qi. This man's name is Leng Xinheng, and he is the head of the overseer here, who is in charge of the life and death of thousands of slaves. Behind him were dozens of sword-wielding warriors in armor, staring at the ragged and withered slaves in front of them.
"Three-to-one. The sitting cold heart said in a deep voice, looking at the front with slanted eyes.
"You know what day it is, today is the deadline for you to turn in the jade worms. And with what you owe before, it's eighteen. β
The three stinky middle-aged men in the team walked over tremblingly, with horror in their eyes, and said with a begging face: "My lord, we, we are not very lucky this time, we didn't catch the jade worm, can we give a few more days." β
"You told me a few days of grace before, okay, I gave you three days, and now I have to give me a grace. Everyone said that they wanted to be lenient, so how could I complete the task of the ancestor. Pull it down, and each of them will be punished with eighty rods. Leng Xinheng waved his hand in disgust and said coldly.
"My lord, just one day, just give us one day. The three of them pleaded with tears in their eyes, their foreheads were bleeding, and their hearts were still unmoved.
You must know that even in their heyday, ordinary overseers hit 20 boards, and they would be seriously injured. Now that their bodies are devastated and long gone, beating the eighty boards will kill them.
"Lao Tzu is fighting with you!" the three of them suddenly burst out, grinning and slamming their fists towards Leng Xin.
Boom.
I saw a flash of knife light, and the three of them fell from the air together, and the heads turned around on the ground several times before stopping, and blood flowed all over the ground.
They had long thought that they did not have the combat power of the peak stage, and even if they suddenly broke out, they were quickly knocked down by the martial artists behind Leng Xinheng.
"Pull it down and feed the jade worms, the next group. Leng Xinheng commanded indifferently, as if nothing had happened.
The team continued to move forward slowly, and there was no exclamation or commotion in the crowd, everyone just looked at it all numbly. Everyone seems to have long been accustomed to it all, to accept it allβtheir fate to be slaughtered.
After handing over the required share of jade insects, Wang Tianao and the three of them returned to their own small "cave" - a small passage that was only one meter high. Each group lived in a narrow hole, with only the connecting passage in the middle being a little wider. The three of them were getting ready to rest.
"Three-two-group for Lao Tzu to come out. A rough sound sounded outside the cave, followed by cursing and cursing.
The three of them dragged their tired bodies to the entrance of the cave, only to see a bald head with several lean middle-aged men coming to the entrance of the cave.
"Master Liu, what's the matter, thank you for coming. Xu Liang said with a smile on his face, and waited carefully on his side.
"Smack".
"Give it back to Lao Tzu, I don't know what day it is, what about your things?" the bald head slapped Xu Liang fiercely and yelled at him arrogantly.
"Oops, I actually forgot about this stubble, it should be beaten, it should be beaten!" Xu Liang covered his red face and was not annoyed, took out three low-grade spars from his pocket and handed them to the bald head.
"Hmph, count you as acquaintances. The bald head smiled proudly, turned his head and asked Wang Tianao and Qian Baoshan, "What about yours?"
There was silence for a while, and the two of them were silent.
The bald head was furious and was about to fan people with anger.
"Uncle, this is Wang Tianao's. Qian Baoshan took out three low-grade spars and handed them to the bald head.
"It's pretty much the same, hurry up next time, don't make Uncle angry. Also, this is a person, what about you?" asked Qian Baoshan with a bald head.
"Master Liu, I'm ...... Mine, can you give two days of grace. I've been busy catching jade insects these days, and I really don't have time to mine and find crystals. Qian Baoshan said with a flattering face.
"Snap" twice.
"No, you are a good person here, and you gave him the hedron. If you don't, Lao Tzu will look for you. Brothers, give me a hard beating. "A few people are in pain.
Wang Tianao's eyes erupted with fire, and he was about to step forward desperately, but he was tightly held by Xu Liang.
It took a long time for everyone to stop.
"Xiao Cui will come back tomorrow, if you can't take out the spar to Xiao Cui again, don't blame us for being polite, I don't have time to accompany you all the time. The bald head said viciously, and at the same time pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and said, "Leave it to him, tomorrow the uncle has something, and he won't come." But, you won't be able to hand it over tomorrow, hum ......" The bald head gestured with his fist, led a group of people, and swaggered away.
"Damn, these bloodsuckers, Lao Tzu catches jade worms during the day, and digs spars for them at night. Qian Baoshan spurted a mouthful of blood, said hatefully, so weak that he almost fell to the ground.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is no exception. This group of thugs fears the overseers but likes to bully the weak, especially the slaves who have no ability to resist, and they are the object of their oppression.
Like the bald head Liu's own strength has reached the early realm of the Nine Folds of True Qi, a group of younger brothers in his hands follow, plus he often dots up and down, and the supervisor is doing well, and he is the king in this area and often collects slaves' spars as protection fees.
If you don't pay it, you will be punched and kicked, or you will be killed directly and thrown into an abandoned pit. Anyway, in their eyes, the lives of these slaves are worthless, and if they are killed, they will be killed, and at most they will be punished when they are punished. Moreover, the above often do not care about the life and death of these people.
"Old Qian, you don't have to say a few words, and we will accompany you to find the spar at night. Xu Liang stepped forward and hurriedly pulled Qian Baoshan to prevent him from moving.
"Old money, why bother. You handed over your spar for me, and you yourself were beaten up, so that I could not bear it. Wang Tianao also stepped forward to help Qian Baoshan and reproached.
"Wang, this is what I owe you. You've given me a spar once before, and besides, you took a bite for me last time, so don't take it personally. β
The three of them helped each other into their "cave".
A day later, the top thirty-two were generated, and with the re-teleportation of the Misty Forest Array Spirit, the thirty-two teams teleported to the sixteen Misty Forests again to start the next game.
As the light and dizziness faded, Xiao Yi and the five people walked out of the aperture and stepped on a new battlefield again.
"I don't know who the opponent is this time, I'm so tired, it's a complete test of our endurance. One game after another, several games in a row, in order to compete for the final championship. Cui Renming shook his sore arm and said weakly.
"Well, I have some qi storage pills here, let's share some to eat and replenish the true qi. Xiao Yi distributed the elixir in the space ring to everyone.
After the five of them finished eating the pill, their spirits were uplifted, and they only felt that their bodies were filled with surging true qi again, even more than before.
Call!
Everyone only felt that it was dark. A huge star-like hammer smashed towards Xiao Yi and the five people at an extremely fast speed.
Xiao Yi took the lead in punching towards the giant hammer, but the giant hammer was too urgent. In a hurry, it only made the direction of the giant hammer deviate to one side.
"Flash away. Xiao Yi shouted and dragged Lan Kexin to the side to dodge.
The rest of the people also dodged one after another, and with a "boom", a huge crater about ten meters deep appeared out of thin air nearby.
"Hahaha, it's pretty fast. A giant man with a height of four meters and a beard appeared in front of everyone, he reached out to grab it, and the giant hammer kept getting smaller and smaller, and at the same time quickly retreated, and flew back to the giant man in an instant.
"Zhang Meng, haven't you eaten, didn't you smash the other two teams with a hammer before?" Four young men in different costumes slowly walked up to the giant man, and one of them, a short lewd man wearing golden gloves, said with a smile.
"Hmph, it's their luck that flashes fast, otherwise I would have smashed them directly with a hammer, and I wouldn't need you to play at all. The giant man sneered. His companions were even more relaxed and pleasant, as if they only needed the big man to go out alone.
"The Legion, fifth, hard stubble. The middle-aged man at the head is Hou Tianze, and the giant man who attacked us is Zhang Meng. The one with the longest leg is Ren Feifei, who has mastered the true meaning of the leg, and the two shortest obscene people are Han Junfeng and Han Dahai, the two brothers who have mastered the true meaning of the wind. Liu Lang said carefully to everyone, and when he came, he figured out the information of these people.
"The Thunder Legion seems to be in a bit of trouble, they weren't so lucky to meet the fifth-ranked Legion. Xu Jiangxin, the hall master of the bounty hall in the attic, stared at the crystal screen and said lightly. A few people present nodded secretly, and overall, the few encounters were not soft persimmons.
"Hmph, who are these people, it's so shameless, they actually attacked. Cui Renming said indignantly, turned his head and scolded the five people, "Where did the rats come from, don't you dare to fight with your uncle in a dignified manner, and actually sneak attack." β
"Well, here, I know the word to win or lose. Hou Tianze said coldly, and at the same time waved his right hand to a few people behind him and ordered, "You go and try their bottom and let them see who the rat is." β
The two brothers, Ren Feifei, Han Junfeng and Han Dahai, stood up. Ren Feifei jumped quickly on the spot with his feet, and suddenly shouted: "Feiyan Dragon Divine Legs." Instantly jumped up and kicked three times. Three energetic footprints suddenly appeared in the air, and the three big footprints slowly overlapped into a huge footprint ten meters tall and flew towards everyone.
Han Junfeng wore golden gloves and kept rubbing the true qi of his whole body back and forth, and after a while, a small gourd-shaped vortex that was constantly rotating was generated. This gourd-shaped vortex also emits special fluctuations as it rotates, and in an instant, several of the same small gourd-shaped vortex appear in many areas around it.
Han Dahai was wearing a pair of silver gloves, and he and Han Junfeng were running their True Qi at the same time, but he was rubbing back and forth in a horizontal shape forward. Similarly, gourd-shaped storm whirlpools were created around it.
Xiao Yi continued to punch with both hands, catching up with huge footprints. Liu Xingyu and Liu Lang swung their swords and used their swords to face the gourd-shaped storms one by one.
"Boom, boom!"
The energies intersected, and there was an explosion, followed by footprints and storm vortex shrinking until they disappeared.
"Your tricks are not very good, and you are still ranked fifth, I think it is in vain!" Cui Renming teased.
"yes, then you can try again. Ren Feifei and the three of them mobilized the soul power in their bodies at the same time, and there were words in their mouths, and they typed out the word "Ju" one by one in their hands.
Whew, whew!
The large footprints and storm whirlpools that had dissipated were actually regrouping at a speed visible to the naked eye.
