Chapter 418: Gobi
Chapter 418 On the other side of the Gobi Street, just as Chen Shuo flashed and left, a woman dressed in black, with a delicate figure and a fine veil on her face, turned her head and walked away, "Let's go." ”
Beside him, a middle-aged woman in her thirties hurriedly followed the footsteps of the woman in black, "Miss, why did we run just now? Is it because of that kid just now?"
The woman in black paused slightly, and then said lightly, "There are some things that you still don't know so clearly." ”
Three days passed in a flash, and Chen Shuo wanted to take another Rotation Pill to improve his cultivation, but after thinking about it, he gave up. The last time I took a Wheel Pill, I digested it for several months, and these few days were definitely not enough.
Put away the Rotation Pill, Chen Shuo has nothing to do in the past two days, and he is wandering around Xiangyang City, as for the things about that night, Chen Shuo is also silent and has not mentioned it to anyone.
Wandering around the street where the "crime" occurred, I found that the mess here was worse than last time, the whole street was unmelted ice, and the walls on both sides were turned into ice slag, and it was obvious that the battle was even more fierce after that.
Chen Shuo was curious in his heart, although he was curious about whether Wang Hua got out or was caught by Feng Luo, but he thought that it should be the former, although the sword formation formed by Feng Luo and the twenty soldiers was very powerful, but Chen Shuo, who had fought with Wang Hua, knew that if Wang Hua was serious, then it would not be difficult to break through the encirclement.
On this day, Chen Shuo had just eaten breakfast, and was tasting a cup of tea unique to Xiangyang City, a faint bitterness flowed through the tip of his tongue, but then it was a rich fragrance, which made Chen Shuo, who had experienced countless lives and deaths, like it very much - tasting tea also requires experience.
At this time, Wei Shan walked in quickly, with some eagerness and excitement on his face, "Chen Shao, Yi Tian is here." ”
Chen Shuo nodded slightly, drank the last sip of tea in the cup, and then wiped the corners of his mouth, "It looks like it's going to start, let's go." ”
Outside the Qingzhu Residence, Yi Tianzheng waited at the door with his hands in his hands, and when he saw Chen Shuo's arrival, he took a few steps forward, "My lord, the competition has begun, if you don't have anything else, I'll take you there." ”
Chen Shuo shook his head, indicating that he was ready, Yi Tian didn't say much, and a carriage next to him that had been waiting for a long time had already come to Chen Shuo, "My lord, get in the car." ”
The horses pulling the cart were peculiar, and the rest of the place was no different from ordinary white horses, except that above its four legs, a faint flame burned, and on the horse's forehead, a small handful of fiery red hair seemed like a burning red flame.
This kind of horse Chen Shuo has seen in Wave City, and it is called the Wind and Fire Horse. It is a very rare four-star fierce beast, or spirit beast. Docile by nature, extremely good at running, with excellent stamina, and very powerful, it was the favorite mount of some nobles and samurai. And since the horse in front of him was used to pull the carriage, Chen Shuo couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Chen Shuo walked into the car and found that the space in the car was huge, and even four or five people were not crowded, so he beckoned Wei Shan and Yi Tian to get into the car. The former thanked him and got into the carriage, while the latter refused with a light smile, "My lord, I am a soldier." If a soldier is greedy for pleasure, then he is no longer a soldier. I appreciate the kindness of my lords, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
Hearing Yi Tian's words, even a person like Chen Shuo, who had no reverence for anything, couldn't help but be in awe. Perhaps, only such soldiers guarding the frontier of mankind can compete with foreign races for thousands of years.
The carriage drove for about half an hour, then slowly stopped, and then heard Yi Tian say outside the car, "My lord, it's here." ”
Chen Shuo stepped out of the carriage and found that he was already outside the city, without the high ring and seats as he imagined, just a desolate next door in front of him, and when he looked behind him, he could faintly see the outline of Xiangyang City.
Moreover, Chen Shuo keenly discovered that there was something wrong with the ground under his feet. Although it looks the same as the rest of the place, if you look closely, you can still see some clues - such as the huge ravine buried by the wind and sand, and the faint scorching marks of the land, all of which reveal that this is a place that has been battled for a long time.
Chen Shuo looked around and found that there were many carriages drawn by wind and fire, and next to each carriage, there were two or three people standing in twos and threes, and it seemed that they were also contestants.
Chen Shuo was shocked in his heart, could it be that the game was going to be held here?
As if understanding Chen Shuo's stunnedness, Yi Tian smiled slightly, "My lord, Xiangyang City is a military powerhouse, and it is a rule that no force is allowed in the city. Moreover, the Moonlight Warrior is too noisy to move, and there is no place for you to fight in the city. So it was just held right next door. ”
Yi Tian smiled, "Of course, it is also a tradition to hold a selection here." When the first battlefield of the gods opened, the people of the Nine Realms and the various major sects were in contention, and finally decided to use the method of competition to determine the belonging. But seeing that the battlefield of the gods was about to begin, where was there still time to build a ring? So at that time, the city lord of Xiangyang City sketched twice on this Gobi, and directly set out a simple martial arts arena for everyone to fight in it. Subsequently, due to the particularity of Xiangyang City, each session of the selection competition was simply held on the Gobi. ”
Chen Shuo nodded slightly, this seems to be a crude and sloppy competition, but I didn't expect this allusion.
Under Yi Tian's instructions, Chen Shuo waited quietly. From time to time, a carriage drawn by the wind and fire came, and then the people of the carriage mountain also got off the carriage and waited quietly.
Chen Shuo was closing his eyes to recuperate, when suddenly his heart throbbed. When I opened my eyes, I saw a horse-drawn carriage galloping towards me, and the four hooves of the wind and fire horses were blazing, leaving a string of burning hoof prints on the barren Gobi.
Chen Shuo had seen such a scene many times, but all those who came with this horse-drawn carriage were all here to participate in the quota selection competition to enter the battlefield of the gods, but what made Chen Shuo feel throbbing was not the carriage, but the things in the carriage, and that hazy feeling made Chen Shuo think of the familiar feeling he had sensed on the street that day. It's just that this time the feeling is not only extremely subtle, but also fleeting, so Chen Shuo doesn't dare to confirm it.
The carriage stopped, not attracting too much attention, for the situation had become sparse and commonplace. But Chen Shuo's eyes were glued to the car door, wanting to see if the familiar feeling was real.
In the gap in the curtain of the carriage, a Qianqianyu hand stretched out, and then flicked it slightly, turning the curtain aside, and then you could see a person whose whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, Shi Shiran walked out and stood next to the carriage.
As if sensing Chen Shuo's gaze, the cloaked man set his eyes on Chen Shuo, but the moment his eyes met Chen Shuo's, he was shocked slightly, and then dodged in a panic. But fortunately, there was a cloak to cover it, and Chen Shuo didn't notice this person's abnormality, but just glanced at himself lightly when he saw this person, and then looked away.
Chen Shuo pondered for a long time, the figure of this person in the cloak was slightly thin, and when he combined the hand just now, there was no doubt that it should be a woman, but where did this familiar feeling come from?
Chen Shuo was in doubt, but suddenly felt a burning gaze on his body, how keen did Chen Shuo feel? Immediately followed the source of that gaze, and found that this hostile gaze was Wang Hua, who had fought with Chen Shuo that day. Looking at Chen Shuo's gaze, Wang Hua sneered, his lips moved slightly, Chen Shuo could see that what Wang Hua said was, "Boy, you wait for me!"
Chen Shuo closed his eyes again, ignoring Wang Hua's provocation, but this natural disregard was even more annoying. The corners of Wang Hua's eyes jumped, and then he looked at Chen Shuo's eyes even more gloomy.
Time passed gradually, from early morning to noon, and when the sun rose, there were basically no new carriages coming. Chen Shuo counted slightly, there were a total of thirty-five carriages in the field, and according to one carriage and one contestant, there were thirty-five contestants.
The thirty-five carriages spontaneously formed a circle, leaving a space about the size of a basketball court.
To Chen Shuo's surprise, Lin Sheng's son, Lin Bing, also came in a carriage, and when he saw Chen Shuo closing his eyes and recuperating before, he didn't step forward, and stood beside the carriage with a cold and arrogant face.
Suddenly, in the distant sky, three people flew side by side in the distance, at first glance it was far away in the sky, but in the blink of an eye, they came to the front of them, and the void stood in the middle of everyone.
Chen Shuo looked up, shocked in his heart. Not to mention the ghostly speed of these people, it is beyond his reach. The man stood in the air, as if he were walking on the ground, and the howling wind in the sky could not even blow half of the corners of the man's clothes. Obviously, the eyes could see clearly, and the person was in the air, but it was blank in the spiritual sense.
"If this man becomes an assassin, I'm afraid no one will be able to hide from him!"
Chen Shuo thought in his heart, but he didn't know who this person was, he looked at Yi Tian beside him with an inquiring gaze, but found that the latter's face was full of seriousness and respect, he straightened his waist and didn't squint, but he didn't move in the face of Chen Shuo's gaze.
Chen Shuo swept the corners of his eyes, but found that most of the others were the same. Chen Shuo knew in his heart that this person might not have a small background.
The man in the air, forty or fifty years old in the prime of life, wearing a coarse cloth shirt, looked like an ordinary mountain farmer, but the person who could stand in the void and lead Yi Tian didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, how could it be ordinary?
The man looked around for a while, then nodded slightly, "Well, thirty-five, it seems that everyone is here, so let's start." ”
