Chapter 47: Seven Blood Pupils (Second Shift)
August, the summer heat.
The scorching sun in the sky, although still their own body temperature into the wind, with the help of the wind flow, so that the heat filled the earth, but with the change of the season, the summer inevitably came to an end.
In the end, it can only be on the dome, helplessly looking at the earth, waiting for the geese to come, waiting for the return of the basilisks, waiting for the next festival white dew appeared.
But compared to the people on the earth, the position of the sun, so that it can be in this waiting, more clearly see this island surrounded by the endless sea.
The entire Southern Phoenix Continent was actually just an island.
It had the appearance of a tilted oval, within which it was blocked off from the west and east by a vast mountain range that seemed to run north and south like a crouching dragon.
This mountain range was called the Truth Mountain Range.
The western part of the mountain range occupied 70% of the entire Southern Phoenix Continent, where it was the largest forbidden area of the Southern Phoenix Continent, named Phoenix Forbidden.
Within it is filled with gloomy jungles, buried an ancient relics, perennial fog, many beasts, bizarre countless, heterogeneous quality is extremely dense.
As for the eastern part of the mountain range, occupying the entire South Phoenix Continent 30% of the range of land, is the habitat of the human race.
And here, there is a location that is extremely special. It is located in the northern part of the Truth Mountain Range, the starting point of the border with the sea.
This place was connected to the Phoenix Forbidden in the west, the Human Race region in the east, the Endless Sea in the north, and the Truth Mountain Range spreading to the other end in the south.
This kind of terrain makes it the largest harbor in the entire Southern Phoenix Continent, with an endless stream of huge freighters coming and going on weekdays, some from the other surrounding islands for commerce and trade, and some from the ...... Hope Ancient Continent.
As such a special and important strategic place, naturally not unusual forces can grasp, and this place, is the seven blood pupil of the mountain gate is located.
Looking from afar, the city where the harbor is located is divided into seven large areas, the harbor is only one of them, and the city made up of these seven districts is so vast and amazing that it can be called a majestic city.
This, was the main city of the Seven Blood Pupils.
And beside it, there were the seven peaks at the northern end of the Truth Mountain Range, and at the top of each of them, there were giant eye statues a hundred feet in size, with different colors, but all of them were translucent and stern.
Regardless of whether it was day or night, the piercing aura of the eyes never dissipated, forming a large formation that shrouded the eight directions.
These seven giant eyes, looking down at the earth, like the pupils of a giant beast, carried with them a morose and icy coldness, causing everyone's mind to be shaken upon seeing them.
This is also the origin of the name Seven Blood Pupils.
The main city where the harbor is located, together with these seven peaks, is the full picture of the Seven Blood Pupils Mountain Gate.
The seventh peak near the main city and the first peak in the distance is the highest, as if two giants standing in this place, so that the South Phoenix Continent curfew and many forces are afraid.
After all, within the Southern Phoenix Continent, even if the human race lives in 30% of the area, there is also a great danger.
The wilderness is filled with heterogeneous quality, lurking all kinds of beasts as well as the dead murderers.
Although the beasts are not as ferocious as the forbidden zone, but for the vast majority of the human race, leaving the city, once encountered, often also means a life and death crisis, especially when encountered by outlaws ...... in the wilderness without much order, fear is more miserable than death.
Therefore, a city that can be inhabited, for the vast majority of the human race, dream.
And the main city of the Seven Blood Pupils, in the entire Southern Phoenix Continent has a reputation, not only because of its prosperity, but also because of the Seven Blood Pupils array in the shroud, can be a great degree of isolation of heterogeneity, so that the life expectancy of people substantially beyond the outside world.
So to be able to enter the seven blood pupil is the dream of too many people.
Countless people are eager to come, countless people do not want to leave after coming, it seems that here they can pursue their dreams, just ...... the rules of the main city of the seven blood pupils, extremely harsh.
It is like an invisible whip, lashing at the body of every person who arrives.
The name of this whip is called ...... survival of the fittest.
At this moment, within the Seven Blood Pupil Port Main City, in the center area, three huge teleportation arrays were constantly shining brightly.
They were arranged in a zigzag pattern, and there was an endless stream of people coming.
Inside the third of these teleportation arrays, as the light flickered, the figure of a teenager was revealed from within.
The upper half of the teenager's body was a dark leather jacket, wearing wide pants, the legs of which were tied with grass ropes, suffused with air-dried blood, his hair was messy, and his face was dirty.
But the eyes were unusually bright, so like stars.
As soon as he appeared, he heard the bustling noise and the sound of the waves, and there was even a hot and humid wind that brushed his whole body, making him feel sticky.
All of this turned into a strong sense of strangeness that surfaced in the teenager's body and mind.
The teenager was none other than Xu Qing, who had teleported over from Deerhorn City.
"Are we here yet? ......"
Xu Qing's head was a little distended after this teleportation, and at this moment, rubbing his brow, he didn't stay on the formation for long, and as he walked out quickly, he raised his head and swept his surroundings.
Everything in this place was well organized.
A large number of guards wearing black armor, patrolling and guarding, outside each transmission array, there is a long dragon like team, within which all shapes and sizes, men and women, bustling in large packages, each other densely packed at the same time, there is also a caravan also in it.
They are all teleportation people, each face, all with want to live in this city's desire, and obviously come here teleportation fee is not low, so they look within the desire to meaning, more intense.
Sweeping through the circle, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and walked towards the outside world along with the crowd of people going out.
The teleportation array here was different from Deerhorn City, leaving needed to be audited, and in this queue of audits, Xu Qing looked up at the surroundings, and here, far away, he could see the pitch-black sea.
And at the other end of the mountain range, under the setting sun, there were seven peaks that were extremely conspicuous, especially the seven giant eye statues on top of them, scattering fluctuations as if they could connect to the heavens, causing the sky to form a huge vortex in the area of those seven peaks.
Within the vortex, the clouds surrounded, vaguely seemed to exist what huge beasts, the phoenix horns exposed in the midst of wandering, transmitting a shocking eight sacred meaning.
This scene made Xu Qing's mind vibrate.
It wasn't until the person ahead of him in line had scrutinized and left with the issued jade slip, and it was only when it was his turn that Xu Qing took a deep breath and withdrew his gaze.
"Show the road guide, as well as answer what you're here for." In front of Xu Qing, there was a desk table, behind which sat two people, a man and a woman.
The male was very handsome, wearing a gray robe, his eyes were closed at the moment, seemingly resting, but the fluctuation of spiritual energy on his body was very strong.
Female like gray robe, not very old, eighteen or nineteen years old, small face delicate, fair skin.
Eyes very godly, like starlight, it is easy to let a person immersed in the uncontrollable.
The one who opened her mouth to Xu Qing was that woman.
She raised her head and swept Xu Qing's eyes strangely, not caring about the dirt on Xu Qing's body and face.
Apparently, she had seen too many scavengers like Xu Qing here, and at the moment, between words, she casually took out a jade slip, seemingly waiting for an answer and record.
Xu Qing felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy on the other party's body, this fluctuation was not strong, but somehow brought him a clear sense of danger.
However, he weighed the situation and felt that if it was truly a life and death duel, he was certain that he could kill the other party, so he calmly took out the token from his leather pouch and handed it over.
"Hm?" A flash of surprise appeared in the woman's eyes as she took the token and examined it, handing it back to Xu Qing with a look that was no longer cold, but rather a deep look at him.
"So it is a senior brother who wants to worship the clan, I wish you a happy life in the Seven Blood Pupils ......."
The words of the other party were a bit strange, Xu Qing took the token after paying attention and looked at the jade slip in the other party's hand.
"You don't need an unusual person's contribution jade slip here, just take the token, this is your identity qualification, in addition I'll remind you of one thing, you should complete the entrance test as soon as possible, and adapt to the life of the Seven Blood Pupils as soon as possible ......"
The woman finished speaking, no longer paying attention to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing pondered, and after leaving the scrutinizing area, he noticed that those people in line behind him were all looking at themselves with a bit of envy in their eyes at the moment.
This caused Xu Qing to lower his head and look deeply at the token in his hand.
Until after he was far away, the man beside the woman with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and smiled.
"What's with the sudden kindness, blessing up the newcomer and going to remind?"
"He took my seventh peak token, although it is white, but the future is not easy for anyone to say, a blessing and reminder does not cost me contribution points, but once this person rises, I'm more or less a good karma."
The woman spoke faintly, greeting the next person to come over for review.
"Where will there be so much future, this person is a scavenger at a glance, with a white token, I think there is not much of a creation, whether or not he can pass the entrance test to obtain the disciple status is still a matter of opinion, even if he obtains it, the payment of thirty spirit coins per day as well as expensive cultivation resources, he bets that he can't stay up for two months, he'll either be expelled, or it's just a bang, gone. "
The man raised his hand and made a fist, then stretched it out again quickly and gestured.
Their words were so soft that Xu Qing, who had walked away, didn't hear them.
At this moment, he had already left the teleportation area and walked into the city.
As he walked in, waves slowly rippled in Xu Qing's heart.
What met his eyes was unprecedented prosperity and flourishing.
Under the afterglow, any of the buildings here were as magnificent as the City Lord's Mansion in the city he was once in.
The green colored bricks and tiles and green plants everywhere also made this place exceptionally clean.
Inside the city, the crowd is even more numerous, endless streams, each person's clothing is very clean, mostly satin, rare coarse linen, just look full of indifference, and hurry.
At the moment the setting sun is approaching dusk, can see the streets on both sides of the thousands of lights lit, the light of the earth under the bright degree seems to be no difference with the daytime, only a house is very quiet, not the slightest sound out.
A small river in the distance, there is a small boat, above a woman wearing a Taoist robe, with a veil, is throwing pills into the river, making the river water countless fish have surrounded, sometimes jumping up, in the afterglow ripples.
Quite a few young men on the bank, one by one, jumped into the river and fought with the fish for the elixir, which was very strange.
All of this made Xu Qing unfamiliar and wary at the same time.
He felt that this city, which was not the same as the scavenger camp, was not the same as the small city where the slums were located that he had lived in the beginning.
But there was also the same thing ......
On the streets of this city, Xu Qing would always smell a faintly familiar odor.
The odor was so slight that if Xu Qing wasn't used to slums and scavenger camps, he was afraid that it would be difficult to smell it so keenly.
It was the smell of blood, the same as in the slums and scavenger camps.
After a long while, Xu Qing looked deeply at the city, his heart's vigilance deepening.
In the midst of his contemplation, he walked on the road, and what he walked on was not the center of the road, but the shady part of the edge, which was Xu Qing's habit.
At the moment, he was prepared to find an inn to rest first, the smell of blood here made him not want to linger on the streets.
As for the source of the blood, Xu Qing didn't want to find out, he knew that what he had to do now was to complete the initiation test as soon as possible and worship within the Seven Blood Pupils as a means of easing the Vajra Sect's pursuit.
At the moment, in the dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun began to slowly fade, Xu Qing, who had yet to find a suitable place, looked around, his eyes gradually blazing up.
In this darkening sky, the entire city becomes more and more silent, the crowd on the road also with the color of the sky, the pace is more urgent.
Thousands of households, although there are still lights, but every household is closed, within the dead silence.
Residential so, stores are also the same, only a few are still open, but there are no guests inside.
Until the last rays of the setting sun disappeared in the distance, the entire street, not a single person was left.
All of this caused Xu Qing to narrow his eyes and take a few quick steps in the shadows, his gaze looking around, searching for an inn.
Time passed, and after an incense stick, far away Xu Qing finally saw an open inn, and was about to go over, but just then, he suddenly looked into the distance.
In the dark and empty streets in the distance, there was a figure that was fleeing at high speed, followed by seven or eight big men, laughing and chasing.
"Want to run? I'll see where you can run to!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen one with such big guts, actually daring to preemptively make a move on the contributor we have our eyes on!"
Xu Qing coldly swept his eyes over, the one fleeing ahead, was a woman, seemingly injured, her pace a little staggered, under her hair cloaked, one could barely make out a pretty face with ferocity.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze, this matter has nothing to do with him, so he did not pay attention to it, and walked towards the opening of the inn.
At the same time, the woman who had fled in the distance, also saw Xu Qing, her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly spoke loudly.
"Contribution points obtained, why are you still waiting here for a pickup, run away."
Within Xu Qing's eyes, a cold aura coalesced as he looked towards the woman who had uttered such poorly curated words.
Being swept by this gaze of Xu Qing, this woman could not help but have her body tremble, having a feeling of her entire body being placed into the cold, her eyes contracting, her heart shaking furiously, her back breaking out in a cold sweat, a strong sense of crisis even surpassing the pursuit of the person behind her.
She secretly said bad, but also can not take back the words exported, can only grit her teeth and change the direction of the rapid escape.
