429. Chapter 429 - Neutral Zone
Everyone in the audience subconsciously turned their eyes to butterflies, and they all wanted to know how many shells this genius who directly entered the finals could earn.
If the butterfly doesn't earn as many shells as the previous geniuses, then there is a good show to watch, obviously the strength is very strong, but the ranking can only be ranked low, which is a very interesting thing.
Feeling everyone's gaze, the brows under the butterfly mask couldn't help frowning, and she was thinking about whether to report a fake number.
Of course, her fake is to descend down, and the most geniuses in front of her are only more than 1,000 Jinbei, and she is worried that the real number will be reported, which is really too shocking.
"Butterfly, report the number of shells you earned, even if it's a little less. Seeing that the butterfly was slow to speak, Elder Xia said encouragingly. He thought that the butterfly was too little to report because he had earned too few shells.
"One...... Ten thousand golden shells. After a moment's hesitation, the butterfly finally chose to report the true number.
Because she was worried that earning the amount of Baker would be related to the richness of the reward, she didn't want to affect her reward because of this.
"Hiss......"
There was a series of gasps around them, and everyone looked at the butterflies with an unbelievable gaze.
10,000 golden shells, nearly ten times that of white cranes, this number is really shocking to them.
Among the group of leaders, an old man who was skinny but had a red face was stunned directly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.
He is Zhang Yanjun, the leader of butterflies, he is very clear about the butterflies' ability to make money, originally, he has even prepared the butterfly to earn the least number of shells, is the tenth place.
Therefore, the number quoted by the butterfly really made him a little in a trance, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong.
In another place, Hu Yandong, the tall and short old man, and the four of them were also extremely shocked, but at the same time of shock, the four of them couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
In other words, the first place should be missing out on a few people.
And even more shocking was the white crane, when the previous few people earned less shells than him, he once thought that he was going to become the first.
But the number of butterflies was like a basin of cold water, pouring on his head, making him a little disappointed. He didn't think that on this occasion, the butterfly would report the shell it had gotten wrong.
"Ten thousand golden shells, are you sure you are not wrong?" Elder Xia also looked at the butterfly with some surprise, this number, even in the previous selection, is a remarkable achievement.
"That's right. The butterfly flipped her hand, and a bunch of small mountain-like shells appeared at her feet.
Looking at the pile of golden shells, the breath of everyone in the field was urgent, and the facts were in front of them, no matter how shocked they were, they could only believe it.
"Okay, 10,000 indeed. Glancing at the pile of golden shells, Elder Xia nodded, and then said, "Next, continue." ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes looked at Cang Ye, and it was his turn next, but everyone looked at Cang Ye's gaze, but they didn't have too strong expectations, because they didn't think that Cang Ye could earn more golden shells than butterflies.
Even the four of Hu Yandong are the same, they only hope that the three of Cangye can earn more gold shells, so that they can rank higher and the rewards will be richer.
"I earned ......"
"Wait. As soon as Cang Ye's words came out, he was interrupted by Chu Jingtian, "Don't waste time, let's talk about the three of us together!"
"Good. Cang Ye and Ye Mo nodded in unison.
Then, before everyone could figure out what Chu Jingtian meant, the three of them spoke in unison, "The number of shells each of us earned is: 20,000 golden shells. ”
Originally, Chu Jingtian also considered concealing the number, but he also had the same concerns as the butterfly, if the reward was lowered because he underreported the number of shells, it would be too cost-effective.
And just as their words fell, there was a dead silence in the huge square.
Everyone, with the expressions of the last second, stood there fixedly, as if the picture was frozen.
It wasn't until after three or four breaths that the sound of inhalation finally came out.
Then, the geniuses and leaders present looked at Chu Jingtian and the three of them with a kind of monster look, as if they wanted to disassemble and study the three of them.
Especially the six geniuses except for butterflies, they all looked at Chu Jingtian with an incredible gaze, they really couldn't figure out how these three people earned so many shells in just two months, which was almost impossible in their opinion.
Among the crowd where the leader was, Hu Yandong, the tall and short old man, and the four people of Xueyi, looked at Chu Jingtian and the three of them standing in the square as if they were demented.
Just when they thought that it was impossible for the three of them to surpass the butterfly, these three people gave them a surprise like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made them half-resounding.
But immediately, the eyes of the four of them showed ecstasy, and the results of the three of Chu Jingtian were really good.
"Huh......" Elder Xia took a deep breath, calmed the shock in his heart, and then looked at the three of them with burning eyes, "If I heard me correctly, what you just said is that the three of you, each of you, have earned 20,000 gold shells?"
"That's right. Chu Jingtian nodded, and then flipped his hand and took out the golden shell in the ring.
At the same time, Cang Ye and Ye Mo also took out their respective golden shells.
In an instant, a small mountain of shells appeared at the feet of each of them, and the hill was much larger than that of a butterfly.
On the square, everyone was smiling bitterly and shaking their heads, looking at the three piles of mountain-like shells, they were powerless to be shocked.
And Elder Xia also waited for a long time before coming back to his senses, it was really that the three piles of golden shells were too shocking.
Then, he looked at the ten geniuses and said, "Next, I announce the ranking." ”
"First place, Grimace, Black Face, Fire Bloom. ”
"Fourth place, butterfly. ”
"Fifth place, White Crane. ”
"Sixth, full moon, seventh, ice and snow, eighth, leopard, ninth, centipede, tenth, brown bear. ”
After the words fell, his gaze turned to the surrounding crowd, "These ten genius leaders can go back to the inn to rest, and the rest of them can leave the Phantom Demon City." ”
Hearing his words, the leader on the square and the fourteen geniuses who were not selected all left.
And it wasn't until he watched those people walk away that Elder Xia's gaze turned back to the ten geniuses, "Come with me!"
As soon as the words fell, he took the other seven elders and walked towards the Illusion Tower, and Chu Jingtian and the other ten people also hurriedly followed.
Entering the Illusion Demon Tower, Chu Jingtian and the others entered a room after walking all the way down under the leadership of Elder Xia.
The room was not very large, about 100 square meters, and the whole room was empty, with only a few dozen futons on the floor.
And the most special thing about this room is that it is completely made of metal, the floor, the walls, and the roof, all of which are metal, and if you look at it from the outside, it is simply a metal box.
"A room like this was made for secrecy. Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Elder Xia explained, "Because what I'm going to tell you next is a top secret within a top secret. ”
Hearing this, Chu Jingtian and the other ten people all looked stunned, and then became serious.
"Sit down, listen to me tell you slowly. Seeing everyone's appearance, Elder Xia stretched out his hand and pointed to the futon on the ground.
Hearing this, ten geniuses found futons, and then sat in a row very tacitly. The three of Chu Jingtian naturally sat next to each other.
"Your respective rewards will be given to you later, now I'll tell you about the human and demon Dabi first!" Elder Xia pulled a futon and sat opposite the ten people, and then said, "You should all know about the existence of the demon race, right?"
"Yes. The crowd nodded.
"That's good. Elder Xia continued, "The Demon Race actually lives in another dimension. ”
"You may not understand space very well, let me give you an analogy: the world we live in, you can understand it as a big bubble, and many of the secret realms you have experienced are some small bubbles that exist in this bubble. ”
"And the world where the demons are located is another big bubble. And this kind of big bubble is called space, and different bubbles are different spaces. ”
"Do you all understand my explanation?"
"Understood. The ten people all nodded in understanding, but their faces were full of shock, the concept of space, they had heard of it for the first time.
Including Chu Jingtian, he was also extremely shocked, he knew about the existence of the demon race, but all along, he thought that the demon race was living somewhere on the continent, or in some secret realm, but he didn't expect that the demon race was from another space.
After waiting for a moment and seeing that everyone had recovered from the shock, Elder Xia's voice continued to sound, "Originally, space and space were not connected to each other, but for some unknown reason, the space where our human race is located is connected to the space where the demon race is located. ”
"It is precisely because of this that the demons can come to this space where our human race is located. ”
"However, the Terran space and the Demon space are not directly linked together, but through a small space. You can think of it as a small bubble that links two large bubbles together. ”
"And the space that connects the two dimensions of man and demon is what we call the place where man and demon meet, also known as the neutral zone. ”
"Every time the Human-Demon Contest is contested, it will be held in a neutral area. At the same time, the ultimate goal of the Great Comparison between Humans and Demons is also related to the neutral zone......"
