Chapter 206: Big Trouble
Ice City, located in the heart of the Ice Secret Realm. And from the fact that it dares to name it after the word ice and snow, it can be seen that it is extraordinary.
As the center of the Ice Secret Realm, and the only gathering point controlled by the Ice and Snow Shrine, the scale and prosperity of the city have also reached an extremely exaggerated state.
In addition to the relatively small population, the city is almost indistinguishable from the outside world with all the shops that it should have.
Of course, the small population is only compared to the outside world, as the venue of the Heavenly Chosen Competition, the people of the entire secret realm will continue to flock here, and by the beginning of the competition, the final population here will reach more than 50,000, compared to other gathering points, this number is already extremely large.
However, although there are a large number of people, due to the existence of the Ice God Palace, the order here will be much better than that of other gathering points.
Again, this is also relative. After all, this is a secret realm, in order to get the last chance to participate in the big competition, the competition is extremely fierce, and as long as the competition between everyone does not touch the bottom line of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace's control, the Ice and Snow Divine Palace will not interfere.
So, the competition is still there, but it's better than the other unregulated gathering points.
When Chu Jingtian saw the Ice and Snow City on the edge of the horizon, it was already half a month later.
For others, it only took him fifteen days to travel for a month, and this is because he hid in the Heavenly Envy Tower, and let the Ice Spider take the Heavenly Envy Tower to travel day and night.
At this time, it was the sixth month and five days since he entered the Ice Secret Realm, and according to the time, the Tianjiao List had been open for five days.
In order to prevent attention, when he first saw the Ice and Snow City, Chu Jingtian came out of the Heavenly Jealousy Tower and hurried on his own.
An hour later, the outline of the Ice and Snow City gradually became clear, and what caught his attention the most was not the appearance of the city, but a black stone monument nearly 100 meters high standing in the middle of the city.
The huge stone monument, roughly in the form of a regular rectangle, only has a triangular tip at the top, and from a distance, it looks like a giant sword inserted upside down in the city, faintly exuding a breathtaking coercion.
On the black stele, there were faint golden points of light, but it was too far away to see what it was.
However, according to the purchase information, Chu Jingtian knew that the stone tablet was actually the Tianjiao List. And the golden dots of light on the stone tablet are names that have already been on the list.
"Tianjiaobang, I'm coming"
Looking at those golden points of light that were constantly flickering in the sun, a faint expectation flashed in Chu Jingtian's eyes, and then the speed accelerated a few points.
After another half hour, he completely saw the appearance of Ice City.
This city was not very big, much smaller than the Hanhai City he had seen before, but it was the most complete city he had seen since entering the secret realm.
The city wall with a height of ten zhang is intact, revealing a vicissitudes of ancient atmosphere, and the faintly visible buildings in the city are also intact, here, there is absolutely no worry about finding a place to stay.
And Chu Jingtian also saw that in all directions, a large number of people were constantly coming, and then entered the city through the city gate.
Looking at the almost endless flow of people, Chu Jingtian's eyebrows couldn't help but pick, this is the place where the real heroes gather, and the Heavenly Selection Contest in the near future will definitely be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.
"Hu first find Ye Leng and Mo Zikun to understand the situation. Muttering to himself, Chu Jingtian accelerated towards the city.
Entering the city gate, he had the illusion that he had left the secret realm and gone to the outside world.
The fifteen-meter-wide street was lined with merchants, and from time to time there would be one or two shouts of selling in these shops, which had never been seen in the previous gathering place.
On the street, the flow of people is like weaving, although it is not shoulder to shoulder, but it can be regarded as bustling. Pedestrians on the street come in and out of the shop from time to time, and the lively feeling that can only be found in the street is overwhelming.
After identifying the direction, Chu Jingtian walked towards the northwest corner of the city.
When they were separated from Ye Leng Mo Zikun, the place where the two parties agreed to meet was the building closest to the city wall in the northwest corner of the city.
So if nothing else, Ye Leng and Mo Zikun should be waiting there now.
An hour later, Chu Jingtian found the northwest corner of the city, and the building closest to the city wall happened to be an inn.
Home Inn
Looking at the name on the signboard, Chu Jingtian stepped in.
It seems that the location is relatively remote, there are only a few customers in the hall, a shopkeeper in his fifties is napping behind the counter, and the shopkeeper who is in charge of greeting customers does not know where to go.
In desperation, Chu Jingtian had no choice but to knock on the counter.
"Ah, this son, do you live in a hotel" The shopkeeper suddenly sobered up, and then subconsciously wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"I want to ask, there is a girl surnamed Ye and a son surnamed Mo living here," Chu Jingtian's question was extremely polite.
In this Ice and Snow City, all the shops are actually controlled by the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, so among these shops, no one dares to make trouble at all.
"Dare to ask the son's surname" The shopkeeper didn't answer the question, but asked rhetorically.
"The surname is Chu", Chu shocked the sky.
"Hehe, that's right, son, come with me" The shopkeeper smiled slightly, and walked to the second floor with Chu Jingtian, and said as he walked: "The night girl and Mo Gongzi have both confessed that if there is a son surnamed Chu looking for them, he will take it directly to their room." ”
Chu Jingtian nodded, and when the shopkeeper asked him what his surname was, he guessed that this was the case.
When I arrived at the door of the room, the shopkeeper knocked on the door, and then there was a unique voice from the night cold, with a hint of gentle temperament, "Who"
"Night girl, I brought you the prince of Chu that you confessed. ”
"Squeak"
Almost at the moment when the shopkeeper's voice fell, the door to the room was opened, and then, Ye Leng's figure appeared at the door.
Seeing Chu Jingtian, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, "You're here." ”
"Hmm. Chu Jingtian smiled slightly and nodded.
"Come in" Ye Leng flashed, let Chu Jingtian close to the room, and then took out a spirit stone and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "Trouble the shopkeeper, help me find Mo Gongzi." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll go. After taking the spirit stone, the shopkeeper went happily.
A moment later, as soon as Chu Jingtian sat down at the table, the door of the room was slammed open, and Mo Zikun rushed in.
Seeing Chu Jingtian, he also looked excited, "Brother Chu, you are finally here." ”
"Hehe, come and sit" Chu Jingtian smiled and beckoned.
Although he still hasn't completely trusted the two in his heart, he has been with these two people for a long time, and now after five months, he is in a relaxed mood when he sees these two people again.
Hearing this, Mo Zikun closed the door and sat down quickly.
The three of them chatted and learned about each other's situation after separation, Chu Jingtian took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "It's been five days since the Tianjiao List was opened, and you didn't try it."
Mo Zikun simply shook his head.
After half a year of cultivation, his strength has improved, and now he is the fifth level of the True Qi Realm, but it is still far from enough for such strength to be on the list that day, so he didn't think about being on the list at all.
And Ye Leng also shook his head, and said a little helplessly: "It's better to go up later that day." ”
"What do you mean" Chu Jingtian looked at Ye Leng with some puzzlement.
"You should know that the Tianjiao List is a ticket to participate in the Heavenly Selection Competition, but there are only a thousand places for this place. For the tens of thousands of contestants in Ice City, this number is too small. ”
Ye Leng explained: "So if you get on the Tianjiao list too early, you will probably be seen as a threat by some people, and then find a way to get rid of it." You know, now is not a game, poisoning, assassination, siege, these means can be used. ”
Hearing this, Chu Jingtian nodded in understanding.
Every time you kill a competitor, your chances of being on the list will be greater, in this case, in order to be on the list, these people are afraid that they will do everything they can, and those who are already on the list are the first to bear the brunt and are likely to become the target of public criticism.
No matter how strong a person is, in the face of endless means, I am afraid that he will not be able to last long, so it is still very wise to be on the list later.
"However, this rule only applies to those of us who are lone warriors. Ye Leng said again: "For those masters from the Four-Rank Sect, it doesn't matter if they are on the list in advance, because there are many people around them to protect. ”
"At least as far as I know, almost all of the top 100 on the current Tianjiao List are from the eight Four-Rank Sects. ”
"Eight Four-Rank Sects" Chu Jingtian was slightly stunned.
It took him half the time to get here, and according to the time, even if the four people from the Four-Rank Sect he met in the Heavenly Fire Palace didn't die, it would be impossible for him to come here so quickly.
Immediately, he told Ye Leng about the situation.
After hearing this, Ye Leng said with a wry smile: "Those you met are just some of the people of those four sects, and they are also a relatively weak part. ”
Chu Jingtian didn't understand again, and looked at Ye Leng with some doubts.
Ye Leng had no choice but to explain: "The strength of the fourth-grade sect is far beyond that of the third-grade sect, so the number of people they enter the secret realm will far surpass that of the third-grade sect." According to my estimates, the number of people entering the secret realm from each of the four rank sects is more than a thousand. ”
"One thousand" Chu Jingtian's face was full of shock, "There are only one or two hundred people in each high-level third-grade sect, and there are one thousand in a fourth-grade sect, which is too exaggerated." ”
"Otherwise, why do you think there are only eight fourth-grade sects in the entire Ice and Snow Dynasty. The strength of the fourth-grade sect is not at all comparable to the third-grade sect. ”
After a slight pause, Ye Leng continued: "It is precisely because of the extremely large number of people from the Four Rank Sect who have entered the secret realm, plus their strength, and there are many strong among them, so after they entered the secret realm, they all acted separately, so I said, the ones you encountered are only a part." ”
Immediately, she looked at Chu Jingtian with a wry smile, "You are really in big trouble this time." ~ Good search basket color, you can read the following chapters as soon as possible
