"This guy who came out of nowhere is saying stupid things!"
Before Duan Qing could react and there was a proper noise from around the stone platform below, Gedman's angry accusation sounded in front of the magic screen in the center of the floating island tower that had been monitoring the place: "Pretentious. They came over and talked for a long time, but in the end, didn’t they still want to rely on the pressure of public opinion to force us to make concessions?”
"This is almost an inevitable result. We should have thought of this as early as when he came forward. The question is who came up with this trick." Xueling Huanbing, who was lying on the stone bed, said He muttered to himself in an extremely low voice: "Even the Yatta tribe, who are members of the Central Tribe, would not come to us with their heads down and use this method of forcing us to have a baby. This is obviously someone full of bad intentions. People taught him.”
"What good is this for them? If we - if the envoys are really willing to let them participate in our grand ceremony, wouldn't it be better? Wouldn't this be equivalent to changing the direction and helping us to increase the influence of the selection ceremony? force?"
"Regardless of what they are doing and what kind of plans they have secretly, at least they are going to succeed now."
The scenes from around the stone platform below are also confirming what Xueling Huanbing said at this time. The countless eyes of the warriors of all races who have been wandering around this place now look a lot greedier. Once again, they were eager to follow the footsteps of the Yata tribe and move forward together. The fire of hope that was originally suppressed by the strength shown by the secret language Ninglan also burned brightly again: "Yes, if Lord God Envoy If she is not willing to accept the old, weak, sick and disabled like us, then why is she holding this selection ceremony?"
"That disaster destroyed our conference. Now the major tribes have no intention to continue competing. So where should we people go?"
"No! Even if they restart the Barish Conference, we will never participate in the competition there again! Only the God Envoy can save us!"
"Please accept us, Lord God! We don't need this simple test! We just need an equal opportunity to prove ourselves!"
"Equal opportunities have always been in front of you, but you have never cherished them."
Ignoring the rising voices and overwhelming pressure in front of him, Duan Qing, standing on the stone magic array, curled his lips and shook his head: "When the grand ceremony started, our envoy Our conditions for accepting everyone and our open olive branch have been extended to each of you. Before the tragedy of January 30, we had never excluded any prairie warrior who came to participate in the selection ceremony from our door. outside."
"The reason for adopting the current method is not because the 'Holy Mountain' and 'Godly Domain' cannot accommodate more people." His voice became louder and louder, and the smile that had been hanging on his face also followed. Fading away: "We just hope to give enough rewards to those initial participants to show them our sincerity. After all, they are the first ones to believe in us and support our cause."
"Of course, we are happy to see more and more grassland tribesmen coming to help our cause." The originally deep voice changed, and the gray-robed magician spread his hands and raised his smile: "Since the Yata tribe doubts us I hope that if we become more 'open', we are also willing to show our so-called awareness and show more people our sincerity in jointly carrying out business with many grassland tribes, but -"
"Only the warriors who are qualified to defeat the gatekeeper are qualified to pass through the portal - this is also a rule set by the God's envoy, and we have no right to change it." Duan Qing showed his own smile and slowly put down his hands with a flat look. Looking around the stone platform which was also quiet: "So the solution we came up with is..."
“Have more gatekeepers in place.”
He pointed to his chest, and then to his hands: "Let's speed up the pace. After all, even if your skills are indeed inferior to others, you have to hit the south wall first, right?"
"Sir." In the din that gradually arose again around him, the whisper from Ninglan also sounded in Duan Qing's ears at the right time: "Sir, don't you believe in Ninglan's ability? Leave them all to Ninglan. That’s good, sir, don’t you still want to end it yourself?”
"It doesn't matter, I didn't say I wanted to end it personally." After patting the fair arm that the other party gently pulled on him, Duan Qing replied pleasantly: "But since they said it for this reason, we at least have to It would be better if we come up with a little bit of "dismantling tactics", otherwise it would be bad if they think we are pretending to be dead and have no response, and then continue to push further."
"But since the other party has used this method of oppression and advancement, they must have made the necessary preparations for our response." Speaking of this, the gray-robed magician gradually looked past the Yatta elder. The body flashed for a moment in the center of the crowd that was becoming crowded and boiling: "I have some guesses about their final goal, but now -"
"If you want to continue the challenge, please come forward and we will arrange corresponding opponents for you."
He raised his voice again, suppressing the boiling scene a little more. The voice belonging to the Yasi clan chief also sounded on the other side of the stone platform for the first time, expressing his gratitude for the decision Duan Qing and the others had made at this time. Sending immediate support: "Then we, the Zhuang Priest Clan, must be included. Let us join the ranks of candidates at this most appropriate moment."
"Our duels are all one-on-one duels." Duan Qing responded with a smile: "Are you sure you can participate?"
"It all depends on the will of God and the wishes of the envoys." The Yasi clan leader did not stop moving forward because of Duan Qing's words: "Maybe you can please be merciful and arrange something for me." A not very strong tester."
"That's it." As if he was singing a double act, Duan Qing waved behind him with a clear face: "Come here, call Mr. Asahi Dongsheng over."
"The rising sun?"
"Is that the guy who is careless and acting like a madman all day long?"
"You can't say that. Which of those adventurers is not crazy in our eyes? It's just that many people have seen the strength of Asahi Dongsheng, and I heard that it doesn't seem to be very good..."
"That's right, that guy is addicted to alcohol. He comes down to drink with us every day. Sometimes he gets drunk and goes crazy. Kalash from the Kage tribe and Bimi from the Alpi tribe both beat him up several times -"
"snort."
He let out a heavy snort, and Yarkley, who was standing in front with his arms folded, sneered at the corner of his mouth: "This obviously unfair treatment and poor water concession... do you really think there are so many of us?" Are all the grassland tribes fools?"
"Oh, I don't mean that, because our messenger side is full of only these few people." Duan Qing replied nonchalantly: "Our Ninglan is very fast to cook, but even if it takes one minute to cook One, you still have some opinions, so we have to find a way to expand the cooking table."
"Then you should let the great leader of the Zhuang Si Clan compete with that woman first! So that we can see the power of the Zhuang Si Clan, who claims to be the first tribe in the grassland, and a mind that is even broader than that of the grassland?"
"Of course there is no problem, but everyone present also knows that we all register the battle in order. Since we have sent Asahi Dongsheng, and you are the leader of the Yasi clan, then the two sides in this duel will Of course it’s the two of them.”
Duan Qing blinked his eyes innocently, and spread his hands with a slightly casual movement. The hateful and sinister tone made the middle-aged elder of the Yata tribe have more veins on his face. , and the voice he blurted out again was also mixed with a bit of irritability: "Then it's my turn! I want to--"
"What's wrong? Why did you only say half of what you said?"
In the scene where the Yasi clan leader gradually walked onto the stone platform, Duan Qing, who was condescending, looked at the face of Yarkli who suddenly suppressed his voice with a scrutinizing gaze: "Did you think that there are only two of our envoys? What should we do next?" Is it your turn to duel with Ninglan? Don’t be afraid."
"I'm not willing to assign a bad old man like you to our lovely Miss Ninglan as an opponent." He blinked his eyes at the maid player standing still beside him, and opened his arms again and pointed at Shitai. The other side: "Besides, it would be too wasteful to use Ninglan to deal with a troublemaker like you."
"Your opponent is him."
He gestured to the figure of a certain player who was gradually coming out from behind him. The gray-robed magician then smiled brightly at the elder of the Yatta tribe who looked uncertain: "If If you really want to participate in this selection ceremony..."
"You won't refuse this duel, which seems to have a greater gap in strength, right?"
*******************************
The number of duels and scenes became larger. Naturally, a mere stone platform could not accommodate all the battles that were going to take place simultaneously. Therefore, Duan Qing had no choice but to open up the grassland and tents around the stone platform, and gathered around to watch. The tribe members also gathered around to form three circles of the same size. The shouts and fighting sounds from Asahi Dongsheng soon spread out in one of the circles, accompanied by the seemingly fierce fighting sounds and the waves of Zhuang Si clan who sounded along with the metal collision. The tribesmen cheered and ignored Duan Qing, who was fighting on the other side. At this time, he walked to the other side of the stone platform and looked at the back of the archer who was confronting Yarkli: "I didn't expect that Baibu Wushuang was really willing to fight on the other side. To lend a helping hand at this time...Why, does that guy also have plans to join the Qingling Adventure Group?"
"Ninglan doesn't think Miss Lingbing will easily accept this outsider." Ninglan, who was standing at the back, clasped her hands together and replied, "But Ninglan can see from that person his belief in wanting to become stronger. Maybe this will That’s why he agreed to come here to be the tester.”
"Now I just don't know if he has the strength to act as our thug. After all, what he will face next is not only the first-class masters on this grassland continent, but also the people hidden behind them." His eyes shifted to another place. On the side of Yarkley, Duan Qing rubbed his chin and muttered to himself gradually becoming low and indifferent: "And the situation has reached this point. Every chess piece placed on the table may cause a series of reactions... Well."
"You go deal with your next opponent first, leave it to me." He gestured to the next warrior who was gradually coming up on the stage behind Enyu Ninglan, and his eyes returned to Baibu Wushuang in the audience. Body: "How much has this archer grown during this period of time——"
"Let me record it with my own eyes."
Buzz!
A low buzzing sound echoed after Duan Qing's words as the second battle began. Along with it, a cold arrow suddenly appeared in the field of vision of countless onlookers. The cold arrow flashed out of his hand and then drew a straight ray above the circular lawn, driving Yarkley's sneer with his hands behind his back to his left front. The rapid running brought the cut grass blades flying in the air. The distance between the two figures also quickly shortened as the whistle of arrows representing the battle horn disappeared. The bow and arrow stood calmly and looked equally calm. The hand player then slightly lowered the bow on his hand, and the action of taking out the second arrow from his back also left an afterimage-like feeling with his retreating steps: "My master once said : An archer who cannot fight in close combat is not a good archer."
"Who the hell taught you this?"
Standing on the stone platform with his hands behind his back, Duan Qing unconsciously tilted his mouth when he heard these words: "And it's not like you never admit -"
"I have never acknowledged the truth of that statement."
As Baibu Wushuang retreated, the cold light flashed past the position where he originally stood. Along with it, the afterimage between his hands reorganized into a strange scene of bow and arrow movements: "But now I have This sentence has a little new understanding.”
"That is!"
He yelled and fired his second powerful shot. The roaring sound of the arrow shot through the air, and the screams of countless onlookers were heard as it passed over their scalps. They were lowered because they were raised a little. The thin middle-aged figure of Yarkley who arrived also burst out with great strength at this time, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth gradually spread among the flying grass clippings and soil: "Poor archer, no matter what you are here for. Participated in this battle..."
"You're going to die now."
Snapped.
With his hands crossed in front of him, Baibu Wushuang used the tip of the bow in his hand to hit the frontal punch handed over by Yarkli heavily. The body that was lifted into the air by the force of the counterattack also followed by countless blows. After the force-relieving and rolling movement, it merged with the stretched bowstring again: "The power of wind!"
"Strong wind shot!"
