Chapter 309: Swarming
Xihao City is very large, this is what Mu Fan feels at the moment.
In fact, the last time Mu Fan and his party first entered Xihao City, they immediately met the fox demon weaving Luo, and then everyone followed the fox demon out of the suburbs, so for the scale of Xihao City, Mu Fan only knew that it was very big, but to what extent it was big, Mu Fan was not clear.
At this moment, everyone was flying in the air, and Mu Fan began to have a relatively clear understanding of the scale of Xihao City.
"Xihao City is really too big!" Mu Fan said secretly in his heart: "I've been flying for so long, if it's in the human realm, I'm afraid I'll be able to fly from Yichen's Mansion to the Extreme North Ice Field." But this rhino city...... But it's not even halfway there!"
In fact, it is normal for Mu Fan to think so. Since the Demon Realm Continent dares to claim to be a realm, the area of the land must be extremely terrifying. This is like in the immortal realm, even the immortals who can teleport need to continuously perform a large distance of teleportation to be able to cross several cities, not to mention Mu Fan who can only fly against the wind.
Not only is the city huge, but there are also a lot of monsters.
Mu Fan and Feng'er followed Tu Zhen and flew over Xihao City, and as far as the eye could see, there were all dense and shape-shaped monsters. These monsters fly through the air like bees, locusts, and more like a tide, and they have only one goal, and that is the square in the center of the city.
"Tu Zhen, are all these monsters going to sign up for the audition?" Mu Fan asked Tu Zhen in surprise.
Tu Zhen replied with a smile: "Surely! Otherwise, how could you see such a spectacular scene in normal times." ”
Mu Fan thought to himself, and he was also flying while looking at the monsters around him. I saw that among these monsters, there was a clam demon with two large shells, a rabbit demon with two long ears, and a lizard demon with a tongue sticking out of his mouth...... There are also many monsters, Mu Fan can't name them at all, and he can't tell which race they belong to from their appearance. However, no matter what race of monsters, they all have a common characteristic, that is, their strength is very low, and most of them are monsters at the level of small demons. Of course, among these many youkai, there are also a small number of them who have reached the level of heavenly demons.
Mixed with the tide of monsters, in the afternoon, Mu Fan and the others finally arrived at the center of Xihao City.
From a distance, Mu Fan saw that a red tower was built in the center of the capital that reached into the blue sky. Mu Fan counted the numbers, and now this tall tower has more than two hundred floors.
The tall red tower is topped by a wide open-air platform with eight chairs made of black stone in the center. Except for one stone chair, which was empty, the other seven stone chairs sat seven dignified old men.
As soon as the swarming monsters flying from afar, the seven old men at the top of the tower all consciously lowered their heights and fell to the ground one after another.
"Who are those seven old men Tu Zhen?" asked Mu Fan as he followed Tu Zhen to the ground.
Tu Zhen looked in the direction of the top of the tower, gritted his teeth, and said, "These old men are the elders of the Council of Elders, and they are also the strongest, and one of them has not appeared. Brother Mu Fan, don't look at these old men, they all look like they are so old that they don't act well, in fact, these people are all old monsters at the level of real demons, and all of them are real demons in the flesh! The heaven and earth spirit monsters like the Thunder Emperor that we saw before are not at the same level as these old monsters at all!"
Mu Fan nodded in agreement. How difficult it is for the flesh monster to advance to become a true demon, and it is thousands of times more difficult than those gifted heaven and earth spirit monsters, so that for countless years, there are only a few hundred flesh monsters that can successfully advance to the rank of true demon.
Listening to Tu Zhen's words, Feng'er couldn't help but be curious in her heart, and secretly glanced at Mu Fan, and asked Tu Zhen: "Brother Tu Zhen, I once heard you say that among the city guards of the five capitals, there are more than two hundred fourth-level heavenly demons who have successfully advanced to the end. Even if the number of people who have advanced to the rank of Xihao City is not the largest, at least there shouldn't be only a few, right?"
Hearing this, Tu Zhen smiled and explained: "The duty of the elder Feng'er girl is not only to maintain the stability of the capital, but also to go to the surrounding areas to defend the border. Those elders who are not ambitious and slightly weaker have probably already been sent out. The people who stayed in the city were basically some extremely ambitious and powerful guys. ”
Mu Fan listened to it and said worriedly: "Tu Zhen, you said that these people are extremely ambitious, so will they want to be big demons themselves?"
Tu Zhen was stunned for a moment and replied, "I don't think so." After all, the big demon also broke through from the real demon. All of them have advanced to break through, so they probably don't want to become big demons through this method, right?"
Mu Fan hurriedly asked, "Then was there a true demon who became a big demon through a breakthrough before?"
Tu Zhen thought for a while and nodded: "I heard that there seems to be, but I don't know why, the number of big demons has always been five." ”
The three of them said that they were about to land on the ground before they knew it. At this time, the ground was already full of monsters from various races, and Mu Fan and the other three had to hang in the air. In fact, not only Mu Fan, but the three of them, many monsters who couldn't fall to the ground were also standing in the air, waiting for the person who presided over the selection of this big demon to come out and speak.
Sure enough, after a while, an extremely rugged-looking youkai flew out of the red tower and roared loudly in its gruff voice, "Friends from afar—please fly to this tower in turn to sign up—" The youkai turned around and returned to the tower.
All of a sudden, all the nearby youkai rushed towards the red tower. At this time, Mu Fan finally knew why this tower was built so high, it turned out to be convenient for these monsters to sign up.
The tower has more than two hundred floors, and each floor can accommodate ten youkai at the same time. However, even though it was 2,000 youkai at a time, it still couldn't cope with the youkai who kept flying from afar to sign up.
Mu Fan looked at the countless monsters covering the sky with black pressure and said movingly: "I can't think of it...... There are so many youkai to sign up!"
Tu Zhen laughed and said: "Of course! Participating in the selection of big demons is the only shortcut for all lowly monsters to get ahead. I heard that my father was only level 5 when he participated in the audition. Speaking of his father, Tu Zhen's expression darkened and fell silent.
But soon he regained his mood and smiled at Mu Fan: "Brother Mu Fan, don't look at so many monsters to sign up today, I estimate that there will be no more than 1,000 monsters left in the first round!"
"Oh, you're so sure?" asked with a smile.
Tu Zhen smiled and said, "Of course, if you don't believe it, let's go and see." ”
