Chapter 18: Slaying the Dragon or Traveling

After seeing Kong Ming coming, the Alante Sword Master just glanced at Kong Ming, and then let Kong Ming and Frank stand under the others, it seems that he thinks that Kong Ming and his students are really not the same level of people, if it weren't for Frank's efforts to persuade him, let his students have an experienced person of the same level with them in the experience, so that his students can gain some knowledge, he would not let Kong Ming and other people of unknown origin join their team. Kong Ming didn't have much of a feeling for them, after all, he had lived in a survival environment for the fittest since he was a child, and he only knew a little about etiquette and other things when he was in the army, so he didn't react to Arant's obvious contempt. On the contrary, the students of Huayuan's universities, except for Frank, all felt contempt for Kong Ming, and flashed from their eyes. After seeing that everyone had arrived, Alante said, "This time we are here to participate in the rare dragon slaying battle, which is a test for you, and it is also a rare experience, and maybe there will be some opportunities. ”

"Dad, we can get involved in this kind of battle, don't we just go and see how those god-level powerhouses slay dragons?" said Arrant's daughter Garland with a hint of nonchalance.

"Senior sister, we are not only here to see the demeanor of god-level powerhouses, but also to get to know other powerhouses and have a good exchange, maybe you can also find a wishful man!" Feng Yiming said jokingly.

"I think so, and it's definitely the heartthrob type. Nong Fengling also quipped.

"Haha!" the others laughed, a Sword Master of Alant, under the leadership of a sword master, not desperate with people, using this trip was just an ordinary tour, at least in their opinion. Besides, under the wings of a sword master, what danger would there be? Kong Ming was not used to this kind of occasion, after all, he was not in the same circle as them, and many topics were different. After everyone's laughter stopped, Alante said: " Although we are not the main force of dragon slaying, but we should be very close to the place where the dragon is slayed, the battle between god-level powerhouses is very rare, that feeling of the sky is cracking, it is a terrifying force, you haven't seen it and don't understand, when they fight, even we saint-level powerhouses dare not approach lightly, you must not go far at that time, otherwise once it is affected by the shock, I may not be able to save you at that time. Be careful. ”

"Got it, got it, Dad, you keep saying this kind of tune, people are annoyed, when are you going?" Garland said coquettishly, grabbing Arant's hand. Everyone smiled again, only Kong Ming had goosebumps, he had never heard such a voice, which made him very uncomfortable, seeing Kong Ming's appearance, Garland was very unhappy, and he snorted to Kong Ming. Seeing Kong Ming's embarrassed appearance, Frank whispered in Kong Ming's ear: "Don't be angry, little junior sister is like this." ”。 Hearing this, Kong Ming could only smile awkwardly, Garland saw Kong Ming and the two whispering, and didn't say anything more, but connected his dissatisfaction with Kong Ming to Frank, glanced at Frank with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and whispered: "I want you to be nosy!"

Alante continued, "You go back and prepare, and we'll leave in half an hour." ”

"Yes," the crowd replied in unison.

Everyone walked on the trail in the mountains, the wind great sword master Feng Yiming walked in the front, followed by Kong Ming, several magicians and the Alant Sword Saint in the middle, and the earth great sword master Ye Tiancheng was at the back. Since they left the city that day, they have been walking for three days, and on the road they walked, there were many people who dreamed of slaying dragons and rushed towards the forest, but they couldn't go faster, because there were several magicians among them, especially two female magicians, if only in this way they could go faster, but several of them were students, it can be said that from childhood to adulthood, almost all of them spent time in the academy, and it was very rare to suffer once in a while. In particular, there is another daughter of the Sword Master, Garland, even more so. He has been speechless from the beginning of his chatter to the present, from looking left and right at the beginning, to walking with his head down now, the road is getting slower and slower, and there are more and more complaints, looking at so many people passing by them today, Garland has asked Alant many times when he will arrive? Alant just said that it was almost there. The two female magicians had long lost interest in starting to travel there, and they just wanted to get there as soon as possible, while the others were also a little annoyed, only Kong Ming and Alante still looked calm. The two of them are obviously very accustomed to this kind of day, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong. In these three days, Alant continued to introduce the strong people who passed by them, if there were people who did not know, they judged the origin and region of those strong people through their clothing and weapons, and judged their level through the magic on Guò's body or the fluctuation of their fighting spirit, and judged their strengths and weaknesses through their region。 In these three days of communication, Kong Ming also gradually understood the pride of those students of Huayuan Comprehensive University, because most of them were wearing school uniforms, and all the people who passed by them would pay great attention to them, and many people came up to greet each other and be familiar with each other, and at this time, Alant was always very enthusiastic about those people from wealthy families, and always looked indifferent to those mercenaries, and Kong Ming was the most disdainful of those people in this team. This made Kong Ming feel speechless for a while, thinking about it, after all, he was a person from the imperial capital, how could he look at a person like Kong Ming? He was just equivalent to the role of a guide for others. This situation finally ended with Nagaran's sentence "You are just a great swordsman, we have more great swordsmen there, if you really can't do it, don't follow us anymore, get out of the way!" After the words, Kong Ming completely ended the role of the guide and walked in the direction of the dragon alone. Although he is a little better than Frank, as a swordsman, a person who has always lived at the bottom of society under the disregard of others, he has his own pride, otherwise he would not have survived on the battlefield.

Kong Ming followed the direction of everyone's walking and kept moving forward, Kong Ming didn't know, so many people went in one direction, didn't the earth dragon notice it at all? Although it was a ninth-level golden dragon, but as a god-level powerhouse, how could so many people disturb it? Could it be that it was already injured or was there some reason why it couldn't get out of there? Kong Ming thought about it, but he couldn't come up with a very convincing reason, after all, he had too little knowledge, and he didn't understand this situation very well, so he could only take it one step at a time. After ten days of rapid travel, Kong Ming finally came to a place, where many people gathered together, and after that, no one moved forward, Kong Ming inquired and understood that this was the place where the few god-level powerhouses were going to gather, and the people they met did not come, so they no longer moved forward, and in order not to startle the snake, they all gathered here. Because this is outside the territory of dragons, under normal circumstances, monsters will have their own territory, and whoever enters without their consent will be considered a provocation to it, and for this reason they will attack the invaders, and as long as they are outside of this, no matter who comes, as long as it does not endanger their lives or it is not hungry, they will not care, and dragons are also a kind of monsters, and the same is true. Those who were able to spread the news from here were only aware that the situation was not eaten by the dragon, otherwise, who would be able to spread the news from here? After Kong Ming arrived, he sat cross-legged on the ground on the side, looking at the audience who came to watch the dragon slaying, and then he realized that those people were all divided into groups, some were acquaintances together, some were themselves a mercenary group, some were a school, or a city, and all the people added up to three or four thousand people like that, and some people were coming one after another. Kong Ming estimated that if all the people came, there should be five or six thousand people. Such a huge team is enough to kill four or five dragons, not to mention the addition of several god-level powerhouses. From Zhongkong Ming smelled a kind of conspiracy, Kong Ming wanted to detect something from the conversation of those people, but it was obviously in vain, no one knew why?

"What are you thinking, brother?" A person walked towards Kong Ming, he had been observing Kong Ming for more than two hours, but he didn't notice that Kong Ming had other partners, or was waiting for someone, Kong Ming looked over, this was a person dressed as a mercenary, with a two-handed sword on his back, his white face looked like he was about thirty years old, his face was a black beard, and his eyes were shining, obviously a master. Kong Ming Judging from the fighting qi induction on his body, he should also be a great sword master, and there is a trace of coldness in the induction, which is obviously a dark system. Kong Ming knows that the dark guy is the most difficult for ordinary people, whether it is a magician or a swordsman, when he participated in the competition in the city, Kong Ming had dealt with such a person, that time the two of them were struggling and strening, Kong Ming finally kicked the other party off the stage at the last moment with a tenacity, plus the people of the dark department are generally a little gloomy, so it is really not likeable.

"Didn't think about anything. ”

"You're single, aren't you?"

"Hmm. Kong Ming nodded.

"Would you be interested in joining our team?" the man said, gesturing to the sight of seven or eight people gathered not far away. Sora took a closer look, and those people looked quite pleasing to the eye, and none of them were as inhuman or ghostly as the guy in front of them, as if there were three magicians and five swordsmen.

"You're from a mercenary group?" Kong Ming asked strangely.

"No, we were all single when we came here, and now we are just getting together temporarily, not letting other people bully, if we didn't get together, we wouldn't know how many people would have been bullied. ”

"Who's going to bully you?"

"Aren't those crazy people who like to fight and those big family people? Hmph, sooner or later I'll let them know how good I am. Between the words of the man, he unconsciously exuded a kind of dark haze peculiar, this kind of substance, which made Kong Ming very unhappy, but what the other party said was indeed the truth, Kong Ming was with Frank and them for a few days, and saw that Nagalan was constantly teasing the wind and screaming a few of them, so that they kept fighting with others for fun, and there was a sword master sitting there, they would not take into account some life and death issues, and others would not worry about them because they took into account the strength of the sword master, just let them a little, and they would avoid this kind of killing disaster, which directly made them think that they were very powerful masters, in fact, it's just a fox and a fake tiger. This situation also made Kong Ming indirectly dissatisfied with them. But from Ling's aspect, Kong Ming is also the kind of battle maniac he said, but Kong Ming doesn't understand the situation yet, and at this time, even the ninth-level powerhouses are present, he has no interest in playing this kind of thing with others. I just felt very strange, who would be interested in doing such an inferior performance with a god-level powerhouse in power, and wouldn't make those powerhouses feel unhappy and slap them to death? Kong Ming said the question in his heart, who knew that this was precisely the problem that that person felt the most.

"Brother, it's so hard that you don't know?" The man looked at Kong Ming strangely, and saw that Kong Ming was puzzled, but he really didn't pretend to be it, so he slowly said the answer.

"If it were usual, there wouldn't be so many people who came out to challenge, unless it was those real madmen, but now those madmen are even crazier, and those who are usually the most timid and afraid of things are now coming out to be madmen, alas, it's not that we don't know enough about the world, but the world is changing too fast. The man sighed.

"Why?" he said, making Kong Ming even more confused.

"It used that those crazy people, like me, went around challenging others all day long, just to improve their strength and understanding of combat, but now this qiē has changed. It turns out that those who can't hide from me, who don't like this kind of challenge, are now looking for others to challenge. At first, a few came to me, I didn't pay much attention to it, and I still welcomed it in my heart, but later, I felt that there was something wrong with the situation, it turned out that those eight lambs, there was to improve their combat experience and strength, fuck, purely to show off their strength in front of those god-level powerhouses, I couldn't wait to lick people's butts, after a few let those god-level powerhouses take them as house slaves, this kind of thing is even more crazy. Damn, what I want most is freedom, how can there be a reason to lick other people's butts. Later, I formed a small team with a few people, and those people saw that there were many of us, and they stopped bothering us. Alas, life is hard! I think there are times when people like me hide from the side. The man said as he lamented the injustice of the world.

"Then I've been here for a while, why haven't I seen anyone come to challenge?" Kong Ming asked, indeed, he had been here for a while, although he saw a few people fighting, but no one paid attention to him. That doesn't seem to match the man's statement.

"Heh, heh, don't you see that there are fewer people here than in other places?"

"It's a little less. ”

"There were a lot of people here just now, do you see that brigade of people?" he said, pointing to a group of people in the distance, Kong Ming saw that the people there were all dressed in very uniform clothes, obviously a gang. Nodding.

"That's the people of Nanlin Academy. When they came, they were brought by Gandalf, the god of law, and when Gandalf was here, the challenges here were endless, but now Gandalf may have some things, and he has been gone for a long time, so no one is interested in fighting, otherwise who do you think it is for?"

Kong Ming looked around, Kong Ming saw that many people were looking around, thinking that they were looking for something, at first Kong Ming didn't care, thinking that it was just those people looking for familiar people, and now when he looked at it again, Kong Ming felt completely different, through the other party's explanation, he finally knew that it was not looking for someone, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, it was simply the look of a wolf looking at a sheep, and now he completely believed the other party's words, but he didn't know what requirements they would have to join, and when he asked questions, the man smiled and explained that in fact, they did not do it, and it was not very difficult for people to retreat, which is not binding on members. After this dragon slaying is over, it will be disbanded. Hearing this, if Kong Ming doesn't join again, it will be a little too ignorant of current affairs. After the man saw that Kong Ming was going to join them, he didn't have a smile on his face, he just nodded, and then bluntly said that his name was Yin Jianpeng, and he was secretly a great sword master. Kong Ming walked towards his team with him, and when he walked next to the seven or eight people, Kong Ming thought that he had arrived, but who knows, that Yin Jianpeng still walked forward, Kong Ming was a little surprised in his heart, thinking that he had made a mistake. The two of them didn't stop until they walked under a big tree, and under the big tree there was a magician dressed in a hole, and he didn't have the logo of the Wizards' Guild on his chest, Kong Ming felt the faint magic fluctuations on his body, but he couldn't tell his level, but he knew that he was a dark magician. Kong Ming saw that he was half-leaning against a big tree, with a shabby magic hat on his head, his two eyes were concave inward, but he exuded a hint of cold aura outward, the skin on his face was wrinkled, like a vampire, his skin looked dry and bloodless, and the gray clothes on his body seemed to be wide for him, as if they were covering him, and he was holding a magic wand in his dry hand。 While Kong Ming was looking at him, he was also looking at Kong Ming, and suddenly he smiled "quack, quack", and then continued: "Xiao Yin, you tricked an ignorant kid into coming over to make up the numbers, haha, I didn't expect that people like you and me would also form a group." ”

"Necromancer, Johnson Phil. Yin Jianpeng pointed at the man and said to Kong Ming. Then he pointed at Kong Ming and said to Johnson Phil, "Fire Great Sword Master, Kong Ming." When he had finished speaking, he went to rest under a tree on the side. When Kong Ming heard this, he nodded to Johnson, and also found an open space under the tree to sit down, and was about to meditate, but Johnson spoke.
