In a bamboo forest forty miles away from Qingzhen, there is a valley called the Bamboo Forest Valley, in which there are many insects and snakes.

There is a lake in the valley, and there is a stone dam on the side of the lake, and there is a bamboo house on the stone dam.

Looking through the open door of the bamboo house, you can see a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in tattered black cloth, a pair of shoes made of rattan and straw, with a delicate appearance, his face blackened by smoke, looking like a beggar, and he is burning firewood at this time.

"Xiao Ming, today is your fifteenth birthday, what gift do you want? Ahem! ”

On a bamboo bed beside the fire, an old man with gray hair sat with a silk cloth in his hand, and in it lay a stone like black charcoal.

Xiao Ming's full name is Mo Ming, and he has lived with his grandfather in this bamboo forest valley since he was a child.

"This is left to you by your father, saying that he will give it to you when you are sensible, I think you are not young now, you know right from wrong.

I don't plan to hide it, this is a treasure, I just went to the lockdown to cultivate and refined him, so your grandfather and I, cough cough! I was able to rest assured, too. ”

Mo Ming fiddled with the firewood, stretched out his hand to take it, and the "black charcoal" started, and suddenly there was a cool smell that cut off the fire, which made people sober up a lot.

"Grandpa, is this really what Daddy left me? Will he ever come back? ”

Mo Ming's face was resolute, remembering that his father touched his head and said: "I'm going, I don't know when I'll come back, if I can't come back, Mo Ming, you have to remember, don't come to me."

"Yes, kid, your dad just went to an alien planet, and he'll definitely come back."

"I'm going to him, I'm going to aliens." Mo Ming carefully put the "black charcoal" into his arms.

"Grandpa, this is my wish, I want to be as strong as him."

The old man looked at Mo Ming, as if he saw his father.

"You and your father's temper is really carved out of a mold, and it is very strong."

"Grandpa, are you boasting about yourself?" Mo Ming touched his head.

"Haha, of course, ahem!"

The next day, when the sun was rising, Mo Ming changed into a new set of clothes, which was a gift from his grandfather on his birthday yesterday.

Mo Ming carried the package on his back and set off for Qingzhen, where there was a way to go to the closed city to cultivate.

"Grandpa, take care, I'll come back to see you." Mo Ming's face was a little moist, and he waved goodbye to the bamboo house.

"Child, you also have to take care of yourself, remember to come back often, grandpa is waiting for you to bring your father back." The old man stood outside the bamboo hut and waved his hand.

"Okay, I'm sure I'll bring your cub back." Mo Ming clenched his fists.

"Someday I'll reunite our family." Mo Ming said silently in his heart.

The Bamboo Forest Valley is half a day's journey from Qingzhen, sparsely populated along the way, and there are beasts, if it weren't for Mo Ming's life in the valley since he was a child and is familiar with the mountain and forest environment, he doesn't know how long it will take.

Just as Mo Ming's mouth was dry and he drank water several times, a blue brick city wall appeared in front of him.

In the middle of the city wall is a black gate carved with various strange beasts, at this time the black gate is wide open, Mo Ming looked up and saw that it was Qingzhen who had arrived.

Qingzhen is located in the plain, in the southwest of the Great Mo Dynasty, which is under the jurisdiction of the closed city, because it is far away from the closed city, the management is loose, and there are many murders every day.

Not far from the entrance of Qingzhen, there are many shops and markets, and many people are watching the performances at this time.

"Big brothers and sisters, how to get to Qingzhen Mansion?" Mo Ming and his grandfather have not been to this Qingzhen many times, and every time they buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, except for the familiar ones around the market, other places are better than the blind.

"Yo, whose child is this? It's quite delicate, I have a daughter eighteen in my family, do you want to go to my house to be a son-in-law? An old man with yellow teeth said.

"Go, go, old man Huo, people are still a child, come on, come on, child, where do you want to go? Let the eldest sister take you, the eldest sister is a celebrity in this Qingzhen, everyone knows it, and she has been everywhere. "Sister Ni is dressed in red, mature and charming.

"Aunt Ni, you look like you can be a fuck, do you still want to be shameless?" Old man Huo pointed at Sister Ni and scolded.

"I'm shameless, you're going to beat me? You think I don't know how 'good-looking' your girl is? I'm afraid Qingzhen can't get married, right? Bah, I still want to harm my little brother? The little brother is not afraid, the eldest sister covers you. "Sister Ni has her hands on her waist, which is quite charming.

"You, you, you......" Old man Huo was speechless with anger.

"What are you? While playing. "Sister Ni is not only good-looking, but also has a bad temper.

"Sister Ni, I want to go to Qingzhen's Mansion and go to the lockdown city to cultivate." Mo Ming covered his forehead and saluted with his fists.

"Yo Yo, you know how to be polite, you look good and know how to be polite, not bad, not bad, it would be better if it was a little broken silver or something."

"Qingzhen Mansion, it's not very far from here, walk along the middle market, bypass the house, see Qinghu, and arrive at the opposite side."

"Thank you, Sister Ni."

Mo Ming took out a piece of broken silver from his cuff, and Sister Ni smiled when she saw this, and quickly reached out to take it, "What a sensible baby, when you return from cultivation, remember to take care of the eldest sister's business." ”

"Yes, the weather is so nice today."

Not far in front of Qingzhen Mansion, there was an inn, Mo Ming stood at the door of the inn, touched his cuffs, and looked at the brightly lit Qingfu Inn.

"It's curfew time soon, Qingzhen's mansion has long been closed, and there is no money for accommodation, so it's not easy to do it now."

"Looks like we're going to have to spend the night in the dueling arena."

Mo Ming gritted his teeth and turned around and walked towards the dueling arena.

The dueling arena, as the name suggests, is a place used for dueling, used to settle private disputes during the day, life and death on the duel arena, and used to fight beasts at night to entertain everyone.

The dueling arena earns the money of the rich, and you can enter this gate with some silver.

"Forget it, just go in and take a rest, it's better than the Qingfu Inn that you can't afford to live in." Qingzhen's curfew is very terrifying, it is said that all kinds of demons and monsters come out at night, and Mo Ming does not have the courage to stay outside.

The dueling arena is divided into two parts, the outer building resembles a ring and the inner building resembles a column.

The outside of a circle is very large, after entering the ring will find that the ring is a layer of shops, this time is the night, the shops are brightly lit, many vendors sell things inside, eating, using, playing, so lively.

Mo Ming turned around and found that the three words "Duel Arena" were written on the cylinder in the middle.

After Mo Ming walked up the stairs, he found that there was a round platform in the middle of the column, with a fist-thick iron chain around the five-meter-high iron pillar, which was stretched straight, and ten meters away was the audience seat, because the audience seat was much higher than the round platform, so it was still very safe.

The front of the auditorium is full of comfortable and soft seats, and the back is a stone pier for idle people to watch.

Mo Ming only bought tickets, not seat tickets, so he could only sit on the stone pier and look at the duel arena in full view.

At this time, the last fight has just ended, and it is time to rest betting.

As soon as Mo Ming sat down, a betting plate was displayed in front of the seat, and the betting plate showed the 3,300th seat, with a Taiji Yin Yang Fish on it, standing on the left was the Qingzhen Warrior, and on the right stood Yes Pluto Pig, there was a unique introduction on it, and the fisheye position was two coin ports.

At this time, as long as you vote for Qingzhen Warriors, you can win three coins with one coin, and you can only win one coin with one coin, and each person can only participate in the bet once.

Mo Ming came for the first time, asked the staff to exchange a few silver coins, looked at the introduction of the Qingzhen Warriors, and voted for two Qingzhen Warriors.

"The last game was a beast duel between the green wolf and the pig, and in the end, the wolf was exhausted and was turned over by the pig, and this one will be played by the warriors of our green town against the winner of the previous game, the pig.

Let's have a man-beast duel, at the last minute, everyone hurried to place bets, and whoever won the bet would vote. ”

At this time, a middle-aged referee appeared out of nowhere on the round platform, shouting hard.

"Let's make a statement first, our dueling arena will never coerce others, everyone is willing to participate, this Qingzhen warrior has signed a life and death certificate, then, now we invite our Qingzhen warriors to appear, everyone carnival."

"Wow......"

Thunderous applause and shouts rang out from the dueling arena.

I saw an entrance under the audience slowly open, and out of it came a young hunter in a robe, holding a bronze battle axe in his right hand and a half-human high shield in his left hand, and entered the round platform from next to the staff.

"This is the mighty Qingzhen Warrior? Hope you don't let me down. Mo Ming prayed in his heart.

"Alright, without further ado, now let the pig in, I'll withdraw first, good luck, young man." After the middle-aged referee finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash, Mo Ming looked around and found that no one cared, it seemed that he was used to it.

At this time, the staff on the other side of the dueling arena pushed a prisoner cart, and on the cart was the winner of the last beast duel, the Pluto Pig.

The Pluto Pig lives in the depths of the world, is the master of the jungle, this one is still a juvenile, but it is no longer something that ordinary humans can deal with, the two yellow-white fangs are indestructible, I don't know where the dueling arena came from, and at this time it is grinning at the young hunter.

The staff lowered the prisoner cart, locked the chains, exited the round platform, and returned the way they came, where a transparent cover was raised, enclosing the chains and iron pillars.

"Then I declare that the duel begins."

The sound from above the dueling arena filled the entire column, and when Mo Ming's attention was on the round platform, the cage that held the Stygian Pig suddenly opened, only to see the Stygian Pig's eyes scarlet, not looking around, shaking his head and rushing towards the young hunter.

The young hunter took an arrow step, and the left shield stepped forward, and the whole audience tensed up for him.

"Oh, is he crazy? It's hard-hitting. ”

"I felt sorry for him just now, but it turned out that he had no brains, and now he was going to be knocked half to death."

"It's a clash of spear and shield."

……

In the blink of an eye, the hoar and the shield collided together, and at the moment of collision, the fangs were lifted, and the young hunter was suddenly lifted out and fell to the ground, and the shield was still in his hand, but there were already two dents on it.

"I actually withstood it, the strength is really great!"

The young hunter didn't care about the pain on his body, threw away his shield, and saw that the pig had turned and rushed at an accelerated pace, and the young hunter ran away, but the round platform was so wide that it was about to run to the edge, and the pig's eyes were red at this time, and the speed was already extreme.

"This is the time." The young hunter landed on the ground with one foot and climbed up with the help of the chain with the other foot, and did a beautiful backflip.

The Stygian Pig lost its target, and before he could react, he had already hit the chain, and the two fangs broke one, and his body was bounced back by the chain, almost crushing the young hunter, shaking his head on the ground, humming.

"This young man is going to turn defeat into victory, and win by wisdom?"

"It's obviously strength, but the previous hard fight was to distance himself, closer to the edge of the dueling platform, the pig will inevitably take advantage of the victory to pursue, and eventually hit the chain hard, which is to grasp the habit of the pig rampage."

……

"It's over, eat me a kickstarter." The young hunter slashed his axe into the eyes of the hoar.

The pig was in pain, but his eyes were injured and he couldn't see the enemy clearly, and he finally fell down after tossing for a long time.

"Victor, Greentown Warriors!" The referee's magnetic voice, which filled the audience, sounded at the right time, and the audience cheered.

"Oh oh oh ......"

The young hunter raised his battle axe in his hand and looked to the north, where there was an imperial city.
