Tianqi Mansion!
Zhang Qigao sat at the head, he did not say anything, and the elders did not dare to say anything. Although they were red-level, in the battle of the great beast tide, Tianqi was all wrong. This man was only purple-level, but he had a great heart and amazing wisdom. The Lord of Heavenly Cry is sincerely convinced, even Xi Zhao, after the last battle, he has long been ashamed of his past villain behavior, and is grateful to Zhang Qi for "repaying kindness with hatred". Now Zhang Qi is the only one who follows his lead.
Slowly raising his head and looking around at everyone, Zhang Qi sighed and said: "Elders, based on recent information, the beast tide may cause another trouble."
"Sir, how do you say this?" Gong Yangjian stood out from the crowd and asked respectfully.
It’s no wonder he asked this. It has been more than a few years since the last battle with the big beast tide. During this period, Zhang Qi commanded the humans everywhere in Tianqi to organize counterattacks based on the mountain gate, and continued to hunt or kill. After driving away the extreme beasts that were still in Tianqi Continent, they lost their command. Most of these extreme beasts were scattered and scattered, and they were easily surrounded and annihilated by humans. After several years of hard work, most of the places were recaptured by humans, and they basically returned to their previous state. It is currently in the recovery stage and has not seen any unusual movements from the polar beasts.
"Elder Gongyang, Gu is by no means an alarmist. Over the past few years, scouts have been investigating everywhere. Although the turmoil in Tianqiu Continent has gradually subsided, and there are no signs of the extreme beasts being restless, there is something strange in the evil forest. According to the reports of the scouts, the extreme beasts in the entire forest They all seemed very quiet. Not only did they not actively attack humans, they even did not hunt them when they saw them there. If this was the Tianqi Continent, this could be explained as the loss of the commander, but this was in The Evil Forest is the territory of extreme beasts, so this cannot be explained by the loss of its commander."
"At that time, I boldly speculated that not only did the extreme beasts not lose their commander, but this commander was still brewing the next round of plans. It was this plan that prevented these extreme beasts from acting at will. Only this explanation can be perfect. Explain the abnormal behavior of the extreme beasts in the Sky Crying Continent and the Evil Forest."
"What?" The elders' expression suddenly changed. Doesn't that mean that the tide of big beasts has ended at the same time? Will Tianqi’s nightmare continue?
Zhang Qi did not pay attention to their expressions and continued calmly: "If Gu's speculation comes true, then this commander's strength must definitely be higher than that of the Earth Splitter Lizard, and it is even possible that the Earth Splitter Lizard is just its subordinate. "
"Ah!" As soon as Zhang Qi said this, everyone almost stood up in shock. They knew very well what kind of strength the Earth Splitter Lizard was. If it was just a subordinate, then what kind of strength was this commander? I'm afraid he could kill him with one slap. All of them here, this...is there still a chance?
"However, you don't need to worry so much. If this commander really wants to destroy Tianqi, no matter when it appeared before, our Tianqi would have been dead long ago. Even if the big beast tide has not ended this time, this last round I’m afraid it’s more of a form than reality, and I will never kill Tian Qi. This is probably the law of this great beast tide, and the law of this world.”
Even so, everyone fell into silence, and only regarded it as Zhang Qi's words of comfort.
Sunny.
The wolf smoke in the distance just started to rise, but suddenly died out, as if it was absolutely suppressed by some kind of force. If the main city of Tianqi hadn't been extremely vigilant, it would have missed this wolf smoke message.
After hearing the news, Zhang Qi hurriedly led all the elders to climb the building, and at the same time ordered the four doors to be closed tightly, and the whole city entered a state of first-level combat readiness.
Just as everyone was watching the approaching beast tide in the distance with vigilance, they still didn't see it, and they didn't even hear the roar of the extreme beasts. Logically speaking, the momentum of the beast tide, even if they didn't need scouts, such a huge formation would not be easy for them. From this position, you could hear it, but it was so quiet that there was not even a simple sound of horse hoofbeats. This strangeness made everyone feel very uneasy. On the contrary, Zhang Qi smiled slightly, as if all this was what he expected. middle.
The sun was very strong, and it was even more scorching like fire at noon. Three figures slowly appeared on the distant horizon. They were dazzling under the scorching sun. However, Zhang Qi, who was watching the fire, could clearly see that there were indeed only three figures. There were no millions of extreme beasts, no roars or wildness, just three figures walking quietly, looking like wanderers traveling far away.
The three shadows walked very slowly and at ease. They looked as they walked, seeming to be admiring the scenery of Tianqi.
As the three figures approached, everyone finally saw their faces clearly. Even Tianqi's young child would probably know two of them, because their portraits were left in picture albums and textbooks. , because it represents one of the most powerful beings in the evil forest.
One of them is the main source of clues to this huge beast tide - the Netherworld Demon Crocodile.
There is also a red-level extreme beast, the silver fire dragon, which is also very famous. In the human world, the word "god" represents the highest status, and in the world of extreme beasts, the same is true for the word "dragon". With a trace of dragon blood, no matter how powerful the extreme beast is, it would not dare to call itself dragon. And what is a dragon? It has long transcended the category of extreme beasts. It is a god-like existence equivalent to an extreme beast. It is an existence that is innately a red-level extreme beast.
Either of these two extreme beasts is Tianqi's most terrifying nightmare. Their strength is far above the level of the soul-sucking green beast. When they come together, the threat to Tianqi is indeed greater than the tens of millions of extreme beasts. But what's even more strange is that there is a human standing between these two extreme beasts!
Not only that, judging from their position and the expressions of the extreme beasts, they were not only very respectful to this human being, but even very afraid of him. They didn't even dare to raise their heads and stood on both sides respectfully like slaves.
Zhang Qi looked at this human being curiously. He was wearing a green shirt, a square scarf on his head, a pair of light blue gaiters around his waist, light-colored cloth boots on his feet, and a book in his hand. He was indeed a portrait of a middle-aged scholar. He was well dressed, but his face looked a little cold. The weirdest thing was that his eyes had vertical pupils with light yellow circles. They didn't look like human eyes, but more like snake eyes.
What's even more strange is that Zhang Qi can't feel the breath of a strong man at all in this man, and he can't feel the breath of an extreme beast. He is just like an ordinary, down-and-out scholar.
After walking to the city, he casually waved his hands and sleeves on his back. The two powerful red-level beasts were so frightened that they quickly crawled to the ground, while the Nether Demon Crocodile climbed forward and obediently used himself as a stool for the scholar. You can sit on its back comfortably.
The middle-aged man sat down comfortably, rolled up his sleeves to catch the cold wind, and then slowly said, "Who is in charge here?"
His speech was very slow, his voice was very soft, and he was so far away. However, what was surprising was that firecrackers were ringing in everyone's ears. Not only was it clearly audible, but it also felt like it was hurting as if the eardrums were being pierced.
What a terrifying strength!
If someone really has murderous intentions, just by raising the volume, he can shock a group of people to death. With just one hand, he will be shocked and invincible.
Zhang Qi knew this very well, and was even more certain that this person would never take action personally. Once this was confirmed, it would make no difference whether he was strong or weak.
Swinging his sleeves, Zhang Qi stood out from the crowd and said proudly: "Master Gutianqiu, I wonder if the seniors in the city have any advice?"
The middle-aged scholar raised his head and glanced casually after hearing the words. The pair of vertical snake eyes were like sharp arrows piercing the depths of Zhang Qi's soul. Even in the scorching sun at noon, Zhang Qi suddenly felt like he was in an ice kiln in the cold winter, and he shivered unconsciously. .
The eyes are killing, I didn’t expect this legendary magical skill to actually exist.
The middle-aged scholar didn't seem to have any murderous intention. He just wanted to confirm the identity of the speaker. After taking a look, he looked away and murmured to himself: "It's strange, how can a mere Zijie have the power of origin in him? No wonder this useless person has no murderous intention." It doesn’t matter if the heavenly weeping in the Lord’s land is controlled by it, it doesn’t matter, it’s God’s will.”
"There is a master in Tianwei. Everyone, please step aside. I have something to say to you." The middle-aged scholar smiled, suddenly disappeared from the place, and reappeared only a few meters in front of Zhang Qi.
Everyone was shocked and wanted to step forward. Zhang Qi quickly stopped him. The shock in his heart could not be conveyed to others. As a speed expert, even he could only see a blurry shadow. It was obvious that the opponent's speed was so fast. It is extremely close to space teleportation. With this ability and the shocking strength just now, it makes no difference whether these people can step forward or not.
He knew better that this person had no intention of killing him. Otherwise, even if he was a hundred times stronger, killing himself would be as easy as flipping his hand. If everyone stepped forward, it would easily cause trouble and only cost lives. Instead, it would be better to calm down. , welcome him generously and see what he wants to do.
"Senior, I'm here to weep. If you have any questions, please speak up. There is no need to show your supreme magical power to weak people like us. It would be disrespectful to your status as a senior." Zhang Qi raised his head, not compromised by his strength at all.
The middle-aged scholar looked at Zhang Qi and secretly praised him. This man was really brave and wise, but the gap in strength was too big, so his words were naturally arrogant.
"The tide of beasts has an appointment. The first is training, the second is reduction, the third is destruction, and it will be reincarnated for thousands of years. This time it is three, and it will never be destroyed!" The middle-aged scholar said calmly.
Zhang Qi and others' expressions changed greatly when they heard this. It turned out that their previous speculations were all wrong. There was no theory of waves or rounds at all. This person made it very clear that there were only three kinds of beast tides. Either they should teach you a lesson, or It is the so-called kind of beast tide that provides opportunities for humans to gain trophies, and there is also a kind that is larger in scale and requires humans to pay a price, and the last one does not care about time at all, and its purpose is to destroy Tianqi. , but the destruction here should refer to those cultivators, or powerful cultivators, who allowed Tianqi to return to his original state.
In other words, not only Zhang Qi, but also the Tianqi strongmen in the main city, and even the strong men from various mountain sects, will all be hunted to death. Such an act of annihilation will not be tolerated in this middle-aged man. The scholar said it as if it was the most common thing, which made people's hair stand on end.
"However, the beast tide has made another appointment. If there is an owner of the land, it can be negotiated." The middle-aged scholar sighed lightly, "If not, I will go to hell at this time."
Everyone's expression changed when they heard this, but the turn of events happened so quickly. It seemed that everyone was convinced by Zhang Qi, and by mistake, he begged for the life of a human being. However, it turned out that if Zhang Qi had not The middle-aged scholar could examine the power of the Lord and find out that if he established the Lord in order to survive, he would be in breach of contract and should be completely destroyed.
What Zhang Qi thought was different from others was that he was unmoved by the middle-aged scholar's previous words of genocide and his later words of retreat. He regarded them as threats. However, regardless of whether they were true or false, they are now debatable. It's decided that it's best to stay calm to avoid falling into a trap.
"I believe in the ability of the seniors, and they are people who keep their promises. If they will not break the contract, then there is something that can be discussed. Why don't you talk about it and listen to it?" Zhang Qi said quietly, with an unwavering expression on his face that made it difficult for people to look at it. to see any mood swings.
The middle-aged scholar secretly admired that the man in front of him was young and had such a deep mind. It was indeed rare, and he really could not break the contract. He smiled and said: "Even if both parties agree, do you have it?" Are you talking to me?"
Zhang Qi heard the words and sneered in his heart. In terms of combat power, the other party indeed regarded him as an ant, but in terms of verbal confrontation, I am afraid that anyone in the world can fight with him. The middle-aged scholar obviously did not want to make an offer first. This choice is Yes, it is undoubtedly the most correct approach, especially when the bottom price of both parties is unknown.
Zhang Qi didn't want to be the first to make a move, keeping the same in response to all changes, "Senior masters, we are ordinary people, there are differences between high and low, we dare not make mistakes, so I ask seniors for advice."
The middle-aged scholar was stunned when he heard this. Although his fighting prowess was far behind Zhang Qi's, he was praised by Zhang Qi. He stroked his beard and said, "According to my words, even if the sky weeps, it has its master." , the genocide is over, but the people in this city need to be destroyed, firstly to comfort the souls of my extreme beast, and secondly to show the power of my extreme beast. How about it?"
Everyone's expressions changed greatly. To put it bluntly, they wanted to massacre the city, but fortunately they let the other sects of the mountain sect be spared.
Zhang Qi seemed to have expected that he would say this. Just when everyone was staring at him, expecting him to refute, he bowed to the middle-aged scholar and said, "Thank you for your generosity, senior, for leaving me to cry from the sky." How dare we disobey the opportunity?"
As soon as Zhang Qi finished speaking, everyone turned pale and looked at him in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Zhang Qi actually agreed to massacre the city? Even the middle-aged scholar was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the human being in front of him would agree so readily. Just when he was about to speak, Zhang Qi suddenly changed the subject and continued:
"However, have seniors ever thought about a problem? If the massacre of the city was carried out by seniors, not only would it not be able to show the power of the extreme beasts, but it would be used as a bully to bully the small, and the strong would bully the weak. Others would definitely think that seniors are capable You can only bully those who are weaker than you, but cannot compete with the truly strong ones. But if you let the extreme beasts rise again, it will be time-consuming, laborious, and endless, which is very meaningless. What do you think, senior?"
The middle-aged scholar was led by Zhang Qi's words, but it was undeniable that what Zhang Qi said was reasonable, and he had the right timing between holding and killing. He couldn't help but ask: "What if I follow your words?"
Zhang Qi said with a smile: "As soon as Senior Jinsou opened his mouth, we should obey it. How dare we have other ideas? I just thought about whether there is a better way to not violate Senior's wishes and end the beast tide. Kill two birds with one stone."
"Junior has been thinking for a long time and has a suggestion. I wonder if senior would like to hear it?"
The middle-aged scholar's interest was piqued by Zhang Qi, and besides, he kept saying that he would follow his advice, not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that he was the master of the land, so he smiled and motioned to Zhang Qi to continue.
"The junior has noticed that the two subordinates of the senior are both red-level extreme beasts. Their combat power is far superior to the previous beast tide extreme beasts, which is enough for the senior to train them well. If we don't agree on a time, the senior will send these two extreme beasts." Representatives, but also representatives of the seniors, and we will send four strong human beings to fight on the battlefield. If the extreme beasts win, the words of slaughtering the city will be fulfilled. In this way, humans will bring humiliation to themselves, and others will not be able to blame the seniors for bullying. Weak, the majesty of our predecessors is intact, if humans win, it will be God’s will, and the beast tide will stop, how about it?”
The middle-aged scholar laughed when he heard this, thinking that this young man is really interesting, and he really thinks about himself. In his opinion, the red-level extreme beasts are far stronger than humans, not to mention that the two under him are even more powerful among the red-level beasts. There is no problem in fighting one against two strong men. Zhang Qi's proposal is actually no different from agreeing to his request, so he smiled and nodded, "That's it, I'll do as you say."
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Qi suddenly said.
"Is it possible that you regret it?" The middle-aged scholar frowned, murderous intention suddenly appearing.
"Predecessors, please don't misunderstand. This junior has no such intention." Zhang Qi said with a smile, "The sky weeping in front of me has been ravaged too deeply by the tide of beasts. If we rush to fight, the extreme beasts may be suspected of adding insult to injury. It’s reasonable to say that it’s unfair to cry in the sky while seriously injured. I hope my seniors can show some compassion.”
"What do you want?" The middle-aged scholar's brows relaxed slightly and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Qi heard this and knew that the other party was giving in. He held his hands and said, "What do you think if we decide to end the beast tide here and now one year later?"
The middle-aged scholar said without thinking: "As you wish!" He flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked casually.
It seems slow, but in the blink of an eye he is a thousand meters away. It seems that he is not walking, but the road is supporting him, which is a bit like the Shukuchi Jutsu.
The person went away again, but the voice seemed to come from all directions: "Young man, you are brave and resourceful. I am very optimistic about you. If you have the opportunity, come to the Seventh Floor to gather together. I'm a demon-eyed python."
Magic Eye Sky Python?
No one has heard of this name. Even Gong Yangjian looked confused. He had never heard of such a prominent figure in the Evil Forest. However, when the visitor said it was on the seventh floor, he was shocked. Even he has never been to the seventh floor, and he is only on the sixth floor at most. The seventh floor is a forbidden area for humans, including red-level powerhouses like them.
Suddenly, Zhang Qi let out a scream and stared straight ahead.
Gong Yangjian thought that he was too excited after hearing about the seventh-level appointment, and was about to step forward to comfort him, but unexpectedly Zhang Qi stretched out his hand to interrupt, "Everyone, prepare first. If you have anything important to do, go back to the city."
Then he went straight to Tianqi Mansion, followed closely by Xuan Tiancheng and Tian Tian.
Tianqi Mansion!
"Brother Qi, has something happened?" Xuan Tiancheng looked at Zhang Qi who was deep in thought and stepped forward. It was rare for Zhang Qi to lose his composure like this.
"Something happened?" Zhang Qi smiled mysteriously, "Yes, something happened, but it's not a bad thing, but a good thing."
"A good thing?" Bai Tian said, since the big beast tide, I haven't seen anything good happen.
"Do you still remember the animal skin in the Mingguang Society? Tianqi, Tianpython, Danger, Dragon Corpse... Think about it, what do you think of?" Zhang Qi smiled mysteriously, like a man holding a lollipop bad uncle.
"Heavenly Cry, Sky Python, Danger, Dragon Corpse..." Xuan Tiancheng and the others murmured, and suddenly shouted: "The Sky Python refers to the Demon Eye Sky Python just now."
"That's right!" Zhang Qi snapped his fingers, "We had always inferred that those animal skins were a warning letter, and the big beast tide incident just confirmed this, so no one went to verify this letter later. It wasn't until the appearance of the Demon Eye Sky Python that I suddenly realized that the animal skin was a warning letter, but it was also a treasure map."
"Treasure map?" they both screamed.
"That's right, a treasure map!" Zhang Qi said with an affirmative smile, "So..."
Tianqi Mansion.
"What? My Lord, you want to leave? The final battle of the beast tide is not over yet, why are you leaving?" Gong Yangjian asked in confusion, and everyone stared at Zhang Qi closely.
"Everyone, Gu is not abandoning you and waiting. There is a one-year period in the negotiation with Demon Eye Sky Python, and Gu will definitely return to Tianqi within one year. Please rest in peace." Zhang Qiti He raised his hand and sighed, "Due to the big beast tide, the matter of being alone has been delayed for a long time. I will take advantage of this gap to make it easier to handle. I will pay it back within the year."
Since Zhang Qi had already mentioned personal matters, it was not easy for them to ask further questions. Now that Zhang Qi was the Lord of Heavenly Cry, Gong Yangjian and others wanted to send him off, but Zhang Qi refused.
