Chapter 368: Return
Because of the temporary change of the new city lord Doug and the change of the competition venue, as well as the not very encouraging speech before the battle, all the soldiers in the city, including the major families, regarded this Dabi as a trial of nine deaths and one life, after the teleportation array was activated, all eyes were focused on the empty central square, and those who knew the sinister core area of Yinpenling knew that this competition should not last too long - the less time it takes, the greater the chance of survival; If it is delayed for too long, even if it is a master of the innate level, surrounded by many demon beasts in Yinpenling, he will be dead.
Really...... Less than ten minutes had passed, and the first third-level soldier to eat a crab appeared! His body was still soaked in the blood of a man or a demon beast, and he was teleported back with a bright red emblem cloth strip.
Looking around, the empty central square, and the envious and jealous eyes of countless bets from all directions, the third-level government soldiers laughed wildly, and suddenly bowed down on one leg, and raised the red emblem cloth in his hand in the direction of the new city lord in the air.
An act of allegiance!
But...... The new city lord didn't seem to want to reward the first third-level government soldier who completed the task as quickly as possible, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he stared lightly for a while, but no second person appeared, and then from his nostrils came out a contemptuous snort that only he and the people around him heard:
“...... It's fast. ”
However, he got the job done. The subordinates beside him glanced lightly at the third-level government soldier who was extremely excited and half-kneeled on the ground, and also had an indifferent expression of indifference.
"Give him the position of captain, and assign him the position of a spy. ”
With a light sentence, Doug threw the first soldier to complete the task to a relatively vacant position, in his opinion, this speed to the battlefield, the escape estimate is also first-class, for him, it is not useful.
"Hmm. ”
After a few more minutes, another person finally began to complete the task one after another, and returned to Black Sand City with the red emblem cloth.
The first soldier to complete the task, with strips of cloth tied to his arms, as if he had returned from victory, stood proudly in the center of the central square, triumphant, looking at his comrades who came back one after another with the eyes of the superior, with a similar expression on his face that he was afraid that others would not know about his first return.
Around the square, many people are gradually getting used to coming...... Try to get some details and experiences about this big competition from the mouths of these returning government soldiers!
Naturally, smart people don't say it.
Who would dare to expose the tricks played by the city lord under Doug's nose?
But...... Although they couldn't break the mouths of these nominally captains of Black Sand City, from the solemn or relieved or confused expressions on the faces of the soldiers who came out one after another, it could still be seen what happened to them in Yinpenling.
"It's almost time for more than three hundred people to return...... If that kid succeeds, he should have come back with the red badge long ago......" The middle-aged man beside the Doug City Lord showed a worried look and hesitated:
"Could something have happened?"
"Don't worry. ”
Doug slowly spat out two words, his eyes wandering around the crowd in the central square, and then falling to the newly appeared soldier on the teleportation array.
"Lugong?"
In the No. 1 store of Tianzi, Wan'er retracted her gaze and looked at the senior Lugong who was lying on the seat with her eyes closed with a worried face.
Hearing this, the latter couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and opened his eyes slightly:
"Girl, let the old man rest a little, I haven't closed my eyes for two days. ”
"But why hasn't Senior Brother shown up yet?" Wan'er saw that there was no familiar and friendly figure among the few soldiers who came back, and said with a slight cry: "There are so many people back, what should I do?"
"Alas. ”
Lu Gong sighed helplessly.
Raising his hand, he nodded a few times at the complacent third-level government soldiers outside: "I said girl, even these people can easily pass the level, which shows that this mission is not as dangerous as we imagined, at least there are obvious loopholes...... They can get by, Xu Wen can't live without reason!"
"But ......"
Wan'er was still about to argue, but was interrupted by Lu Gong's impatient wave:
"It's nothing, your senior brother is clever, there are so many ghost ideas, he won't necessarily be okay if the innate master dies, maybe he can't say...... Now I'm thinking about how to make a big profit from Yinpenling. ”
"Huh?"
"Don't do it, I said girl, you still have to cultivate honestly! As far as your current cultivation is concerned, I'm very worried, your Moon Yin body, I don't know how many people are secretly worried about it, if you don't want to cause trouble for your senior brother, it's best to hurry up...... You can't let Xu Wen stay in Black Sand City for the rest of your life. Lu Gong suddenly changed the subject, diverting Wan'er's attention.
The latter said no more.
The mouth bent in a beautiful arc, silently turned into the inner room, and went to practice necromancy.
Lu Gong exhaled easily:
I can finally close my eyes and rest...... Close your eyes again.
As a result, within a few seconds, the crowd around the central square suddenly burst into a wave of exclamations that soared into the sky, forcibly reopened the eyelids that Lu Gong was about to close, cursed in a depressed voice, turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly froze.
A purple emblem cloth strip was held in the hand by a familiar figure, proudly accepting the gaze of the third-level government soldiers and people from all directions...... "Purple?"
"Didn't you say there were only red strips of insignia?"
"How could it be...... Red represents the captaincy, and purple represents the commander...... The lord of the city, he lied to ...... People ......"
As the first person with a purple emblem cloth strip appeared, the sound of discussion around the square spread like a plague in all directions of Black Sand City.
Many people ignore the identity of the person holding the purple emblem cloth strip - the insect master tribe, Langning!
"The first Archon appeared. ”
In the air, the city lord of Doug and his most intimate subordinates began to talk again:
"As expected, the genius of the Insect Master Tribe is really not ordinary, and he does it better than I imagined. The middle-aged man said with emotion.
Doug's face was calm:
"It's a pity that it's someone from the Wormmaster tribe. "The members of other forces or families are not good cultivation targets, otherwise this one named Langning can definitely impact the innate level in a very short period of time and become a relatively important arm of Black Sand City.
"Hmm. ”
While the two were talking, the other three groups of people from the four major families in the square had very ugly faces.
They did complete the task earlier than the Insect Master Tribe, and even accumulated a lot of red emblem cloth strips that could not be used, but these 'meritorious deeds' in their hands were not as good as a purple emblem cloth strip.
Lang Ning stole the limelight from everyone in front of him! There was a faint smugness on his face, and he swept the embarrassed and ugly expressions of the other three family members, but he didn't find his own person in the crowd, and then his face changed slightly:
These two guys, shouldn't they also aim at the purple emblem cloth strip on the innate demon beast?
frowned, his eyes swept over the soldiers who came back from the square, and his gaze was stagnant again:
He didn't come back either?
Time flows slowly...... One after another, one after another, the innate soldiers returned from Yinpenling!
There are people who are full of joy and successfully hold the red emblem cloth, and there are also the innate government soldiers with a look of chagrin and only a red emblem cloth on their faces, and the third-level government soldiers who are not very eye-catching.
This moment.
Not only did Lu Gong in the storefront frown slightly and sit up from the recliner in a solemn mood, but even the two people in the air felt a trace of worry.
After all, Yinpenling is a lair of demon beasts, the location of the teleportation array is random, and it is a competition of thousands of government soldiers, and in the middle, any situation may occur!
Could it be ...... Also very nervous are the people of the Insect Master Tribe!
The three members of the Insect Master Tribe entered the Silver Basin Ridge, although Lang Ning overpowered the other three families and brought back the first purple emblem cloth strip for them to fight for face, but now only Lang Ning has returned, and the other two, what happened?
Just as everyone was speculating about the situation of the remaining centaurs, a light lit up again on the teleportation array in the central square...... The eye-catching purple color made many of the government soldiers in the crowd show envy again and express heartfelt emotion:
Another strip of purple emblem!
Another Commander!
But when his eyes moved to the man holding the purple emblem strip, the noisy and talkative central square suddenly fell silent...... Even the other government soldiers in the square showed incredible shocked expressions after seeing the unusually young and familiar face of the latest government soldier.
Boom!
Lu Gong sat back on the recliner, let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled to himself, "This kid, you can't be a little more stable" and then continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
Insect Master Lang Ning also showed an unprecedented solemn look, his eyes settled on Xu Wen's body, his brows unconsciously twisted together, and secretly speculated:
Did he have the combat power to kill the innate demon beasts, or did he use some other means to take down the purple emblem cloth strip?
Xu Wen ignored the scorching and suspicious gaze that was on him from all directions, stood indifferently in place, and glanced around:
More than 400 red insignia, more than 60 purple insignia...... It seems that the fighting is not going well elsewhere.
After thinking about it, more than a dozen rays of light were thrown into Black Sand City one after another, and it turned out that the government soldiers in a group with Xu Wen came back one after another, with red badge strips on their hands.
But there are also many people who notice that when they come back, they look around, and their eyes are all focused on the same person without exception.
Xu Wen!
The slightly awe-inspiring look in his eyes made the Doug City Lord, who had been paying attention to the situation after Xu Wen's appearance, move for the first time.
It was some time again.
The insect master who was defeated by Xu Wen head-on finally appeared on the teleportation array.
Although he was already in the city, as soon as he saw Xu Wen standing twenty meters away, the insect master still subconsciously felt an inexplicable sense of fear and crisis, his body trembled slightly, his pupils contracted, and he unconsciously took a small step back.
