Chapter 169: Hanukkah

The days of classes during the day and additional training at night are boring and regular. The popularity of the competition did not drop because of the two-month suspension, but it became more and more intense.

As the dark horse team of this competition, Li Xing and the four of them are definitely celebrities of Harthas College, and they have attracted the attention of their classmates wherever they go.

Considering that these four star students have blue noses and swollen faces every day, limping back to the dormitory from the training room, it will scare other students and have a bad impact on the school's recruitment. Wen Dao held a meeting with the special training teachers again, asking them to pull the training mode back to the world from the underworld.

Time passed day by day, and there was less than a week left before the Xiyuan Competition. The closer the competition gets, the less demanding the teachers are for the four.

The purpose of this is very simple, firstly, if you are injured in the game, it will definitely affect the performance of the game, and you can avoid it as much as possible; Second, it is also to reduce the psychological pressure of students.

One relaxation, the way of civil and martial arts, blindly let students train at high intensity, the effect is definitely not good, and it is necessary to relax when it is time to relax.

Today is Hanukkah, and the whole city of Harhas is celebrating with a grand parade.

Harthas College was closed for a day today, and all the students ran to the streets to party. Li Xing and a few of them also slipped out to watch the excitement under the connivance of the teachers turning a blind eye.

10,000 years ago today, the Thirty-six Sages rescued the last primitive tribe in the Qianyuan Continent, helped them raise the flames, dispersed the star beasts, and gave them light and hope.

In order to commemorate the 36 sages and appreciate their kindness, the Qianyuan people set this day as the Hanukkah Festival. Every year today, a grand celebration will be held in the twelve upper cities of the Qianyuan Continent.

All the streets of Harthas City are lined with streamers and balloons, and all kinds of shops and restaurants on the street spontaneously decorate their shops with festive and festive characteristics.

The streets were crowded with people, many residents dressed in animal skin costumes, with various primitive totems and patterns painted with oil paint on their faces, holding artificial bouquets in their hands, dressed as primitive tribesmen rescued by the 36 sages, and poured into the streets to participate in the celebration.

Countless flying machines decorated in huge flower baskets, dragging colorful flames, write various wishes and advertising slogans in the sky, and then rain colorful artificial petals over the heads of visitors.

Huge floats lined up in a long line march slowly in the middle of the road, and there are all kinds of wonderful performances on the floats - juggling, dancing, fighting, magic, music...... It's dazzling to see.

Li Xing was mixed in the crowd, and it was strange to see anything. The city of Datan also has Hanukkah celebrations, but compared to the scale of the current one, it is nothing compared to the scale in front of you.

The festive atmosphere infected everyone, and happy smiles hung on the faces of men, women and children, making people sigh that the prosperous era was so beautiful.

followed the procession through most of the city, Li Xing and several people were hungry, and there happened to be a restaurant on the street that looked good, and a few people went to line up for a seat.

In order to make it easier for guests to feel the festive atmosphere, the restaurant has specially opened an open-air dining area in front of the store.

When it was Li Xing's turn, a table in the open air area happened to be vacant. It was better to come early than to come by chance, and the four of Li Xing happily occupied this excellent location, eating while enjoying the celebration parade up close.

In order to create a retro and traditional dining atmosphere, the restaurant uses manual dining, and the blonde waiter brings them appetizers not long after they are seated.

Cui Tianxiao tasted a spoonful of black trout roe, twisted his eyebrows and complained: "Just such a thing, 600 star coins?" The fishy smell hasn't been cleaned up! It's really better to go back and eat the messy stew made by Xing'er! ”

The appetizer Ye Qingting ordered was four-winged foie gras, which did not smell fishy, but it did not feel particularly delicious.

"During the holidays, the flow of customers is large, the kitchen is too busy, most of the dishes are pre-made, and the taste is naturally discounted. Let's eat it! ”

"Brother Xiao, be content, I haven't eaten it yet!"

Qi Ming struggled to pick at the fortress snails, he regretted ordering this appetizer very much, not to mention, he couldn't eat much meat, and he was upset.

Li Xing is not so picky, she can eat with relish in the canteen of Datan Academy, let alone the restaurant in Uptown. Li Xing stuffed the smoked molar salmon into his mouth while waiting for the float to come by.

The nearest float to them is performing a dance. Five men with naked upper bodies, a fur skirt around their waists, and full of wild beauty, formed a circle and danced to the beat of drums.

The dance is full of power, and every step of the dancer, every turn, has a kind of masculine beauty. And the drum sound with primitive rhythm brought the audience to the difficult era when Ru Mao drank blood and fought against the star beasts to the end.

The drums are getting louder and faster, and the dancers are moving wildly. Suddenly, all the dancers are facing the audience on either side of the float, back to back.

To the sound of a stormy drum, all the dancers raised their hands at the same time and unleashed dazzling elemental power into the sky.

The five elements of metal, water, wood, fire, and earth collide in the air like streamers, emitting brilliant light. The aftermath of the collision spread to all sides, and the abundant elemental power turned into sparks and fell into the crowd.

The crowd of onlookers was boiling, it turned out that each dancer represented a kind of Yuan Ling, and what they performed was not an ordinary dance, but an epic of the Qianyuan people awakening the Yuan Spirit!

People who were contaminated with the power of the elements saw it as a good omen and were extremely happy.

The performance was so wonderful that the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers and applause, and threw the artificial flowers in their hands towards the float.

There is also competition between the parade floats, and whoever gets the most artificial flowers will be the leader of the floats of this year's Hanukkah Festival and will be rewarded by the City Lord's Mansion. Judging by the audience's reaction, this float is definitely the favorite to win the championship.

The dancers who had unleashed the power of the elements formed a circle again and repeated the dance they had just done. Surrounded by enthusiastic spectators who wanted to see it again, the float slowly drove in the direction where Li Xing and the others were.

The waiter served the main dish of roasted water rhino meat, carefully cut the large pieces of water rhino meat into small slices, and distributed them to the plates of Li Xing's four people.

The float had already driven directly in front of the restaurant, and Li Xing looked at the five dancers curiously, and happened to make eye contact with one of them.

Although it was only for a moment, Li Xing had already seen the man's eyes clearly, and although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold and ruthless as a killer, which was completely inconsistent with the identity of a dancer.

Li Xing's heart is not good, I am afraid that this float is not going to have an accident.

Before Li Xing could issue an early warning, five dancers moved at the same time and launched an elemental attack on the crowd of onlookers.

Most of the onlookers were ordinary people, and they were powerless to resist under the elemental attack of the primordial spirits. The area around the float suddenly turned into a human purgatory, and flesh and blood were scattered.

The crowd, who were far away from the float, saw the tragic scene of their compatriots being killed, and immediately fled screaming.

There were primordial spirits in the crowd, and when they saw someone committing violence, they wanted to step forward to stop it, but the crowd on the street was too dense, not only did they not get closer, but they were swept farther and farther away by the crowd.

The crowd near the float scattered and fled, and the people behind were swept down by the crowd for unknown reasons, causing a stampede, and the streets were suddenly chaotic, with cries and screams one after another.

Li Xing's eyes were red, and he shouted: "Save peopleβ€”β€”! With that, he rushed to the float.

At this moment, a dagger stabbed from behind unexpectedly, and seeing that it was about to sink into Li Xing's back, Ye Qingting's eyes were about to split, and he shouted:

"Ah Xing β€”β€”!"
