Chapter 60: Blending into the Black Soul
The sky was bright, and Li Tong arrived as promised.
Ruan Ruan followed him all the way through the wide streets. Unlike the bustle of the night, the streets are much deserted during the day.
The Soul Eater City is much more open than Youzhou City, and there are four large buildings in the four corners of the City Lord's Mansion, which should be the courtyards where the four protectors live.
Li Tong took Ruan Ruan to the gate of the courtyard in the southwest corner, told him to stay where he was, and went in to find someone by himself.
After a while, a man dressed in black came out with him.
"You bastard, but you lost your bet and came to borrow money. The man was obviously very dissatisfied with Li Tong.
Li Tong smiled on the side, "Today is to recommend someone for my brother." ”
He pointed at Ruan Ruan, "This is Shi Yu who wants to join the Black Soul Guard, he is new to the city, and he will have to rely on his brother to take care of him in the future." ”
The man squinted his eyes and looked at it, "Where are you from and what are you here for?" ”
Ruan Ruan had already thought of a rhetoric. "I came from the Qingshan Sect in the west, and because of a dispute with the disciples of the sect, I accidentally injured the other party's life, so I had to escape. I heard the name of Soul Eater City, and I came to defect. ”
There were many secluded immortal sects in the Falling Star Mountain Range, and the man couldn't hear any flaws in his words.
"In that case, show your hands and let me see if I'm qualified. ”
Ruan Ruan followed the cultivation in the later stage of foundation building and punched the ground.
In the dust, a large crater was punched out of the ground.
The man nodded as he saw his fist slamming down.
"Come in with me to meet Protector Pan, as long as the rules here are not violated, there is no need to be restrained. ”
Li Tong saw that good things were happening, and he couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows at Ruan, wanting to ask for benefits.
Ruan Ruan took a small bag of gold ingots and threw it to him, and followed the man into the gate.
In the courtyard, many big men wearing soul character costumes greeted the man.
"Captain Li, it's time to accept new people. ”
The man nodded slightly, but did not reply, and had an air of arrogance.
The two walked all the way to a small courtyard.
"Li Yongzhong, see Pan Protector. ”
He appeared arrogant in front of others, and here he immediately changed his attitude and was extremely humble.
"Tell me something important. ”
A very impatient voice came from the courtyard for a long time.
"There's a newcomer who wants to join our Black Soul Guard. Li Yongzhong is still cautious.
"You just look at it, don't bother me if there's no big thing. Pan Hu's tone was cold.
Li Yongzhong naturally didn't dare to stay any longer, and returned to the front hall with Ruan Ruan.
He pointed to a row of houses, "You can just pick a place where no one is there, except for Pan Protector's courtyard, you can walk around anywhere else." ”
Ruan Ruan found a room and just sat down when someone came knocking on the door.
"My name is Tian Hui, and this is your clothes. The person who came took a set of black clothes embroidered with soul characters and handed it to Ruan Ruan.
"When you're new here, can you tell me about the situation in the house? ”
Tian Hui is a man of about thirty, white and pure, and there is no fierce aura on his body.
"There are more than 500 Black Soul Guards living here, and their main duty is to obey the dispatch of Protector Pan, and they can receive a certain amount of money from me every month. Tian Hui grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Do the four Dharma protectors have their own guards? Ruan Ruan asked tentatively.
"Pan Protector is only a small part, he has the lowest status among the four major protectors, so he has a strange temperament, and the people below are more afraid of him. Tian Hui's voice was very low, and he looked cautious.
"You didn't come well, it's about to be the Winter Hunting Festival, and it is estimated that Protector Pan should have a headache again. ”
"What is the Winter Hunting Festival?" Ruan Ruan was a little curious.
"It is the strength competition between the four protectors, and the guards under their respective command will compete to determine the ratio of resources for next year. Tian Hui sighed a little.
"Our department has a small number of people, and its strength is not as good as that of other departments, so there are fewer resources, and it is even less attractive to people, which is really a vicious circle. ”
Ruan Ruan's heart moved, it seems that this is also an opportunity to get close to Pan Protector, as long as he helps Pan Protector at the Winter Hunting Festival and obtains better resources, he can naturally be reused, and the more opportunities he has to understand some insiders.
Tian Hui saw that he was silent, thinking that he was frightened by himself.
"You've just joined, so you may not have a chance to play, after all, there are only ten people in each province, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
Ruan Ruan had his own ideas, and he didn't want to say more.
Early the next morning, Li Yongzhong informed everyone that the school field was assembled.
There was a person standing next to Li Yongzhong, with a white face and a long beard, a thin figure, and a gloomy aura in his eyebrows.
More than 500 people stood on the school field in the dark, quietly waiting for Pan Guowei to speak.
"Everyone should know that the upcoming Winter Hunt is related to our welfare next year. We have been held down by other houses, and this conference is especially important to us. "Pan Guowei is good at winning people's hearts.
"It doesn't matter if I am personally excluded, but I am unwilling to suffer from my brothers and me. There was a hint of generosity in his words.
"Therefore, this winter hunting meeting, I want to advance and retreat together with everyone, as long as I can get a good ranking, the brothers will naturally eat and drink spicy food in the coming year, and wrap it on someone Pan. His words aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
Ruan Ruan watched coldly, this person is good at attacking the heart, and in a few words, he makes people work for themselves.
Among these black soul guards, all of them are ruthless and sharp-hearted. was stimulated by his few words, and while echoing the voice, some people couldn't help but let out cruel words.
"We should look at Pan Protector as the head of the horse, even if the liver and brain are smeared, we must also protect the face of Pan Protector. ”
Pan Guowei saw that his words had an effect, and he felt proud in his heart. His scheming was deep, and his face was still full of excitement.
"I am naturally grateful for the support of my brothers, and if I am at the top of the ranking this time, the monthly income of each person will be increased by 30%. ”
Everyone was full of enthusiasm, and their mouths were full of sycophants.
"To get back to the point, since we want to make a difference, we will go all out, and today among these five hundred people, we will select the strongest elite to participate in the Winter Hunting Meeting. Pan Guowei's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness.
"From now on, everyone will decide the ten people who will participate in the competition by their own means. ”
Li Yongzhong announced loudly, "The scuffle has begun, and the last ten people who remain on the field will each receive an additional hundred taels of gold per month." ”
Everyone on the field had a look of greed in their eyes. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, even if the relationship is usually good, in the face of great interests, they are all gearing up and turning against each other.
Five hundred people began to scuffle in the field.
Ruan Ruan has no good impression of these people themselves, the Xinghang Sword is cold and ruthless, and every time the sword is swung, there are many people with colors on them.
He was in the midst of the crowd like a tiger into a flock. Where the sword intent of the river is swayed, where the sword blade is pointed, it becomes a vacuum.
Although those Black Soul Guards were all extremely vicious people, they also cherished their lives, and for a while, no one dared to approach them.
Ruan Ruan's subordinates naturally will not show mercy, he has the intention to stand out from the crowd, and the Xinghang Sword carries the true qi of the water system, cutting melons and vegetables, and it has hit dozens of people in an instant.
There are also some people, seeing that he is unstoppable, secretly join forces to eliminate him first.
Ruan Ruan's sword qi broke through the air, destroying the withering and decaying all the way, killing those who had bad intentions crying for their fathers and mothers.
Pan Guowei also noticed Ruan Ruan's bravery, and his heart was ecstatic. This new kid is so well hidden, it's a world of difference compared to those wine bags and rice bags.
Ruan Ruan's sword light is like practice, killing all directions. His own cultivation far surpassed everyone else, and when the real air was turning, he saw a cloud of sword light flying on the field, and the god was majestic, and he alone cut down hundreds of people.
When everyone saw him descending like a killing god, they all avoided him from afar, and no one could take his edge for a while.
After a while, there were only a few dozen people left on the field, and the rest all retired from the school field with injuries.
Many people have already killed their eyes, and regardless of whether they are injured or not, there is only one thought in their hearts that is to eliminate others from the game.
Ruan Ruan Soft rose up, and the sword light in his hand swayed towards the crowd, and people were constantly swept by his sword qi, losing the right to compete for rankings.
In the end, there were only ten people left on the field, all covered in blood, and I didn't know if it was my own or someone else's.
Pan Guowei couldn't help nodding, especially looking at Ruan Ruan. Unexpectedly, he got such a fierce general, and it seems that this winter hunting meeting has a lot to do.
