Chapter 701 Companion

"Okay, no matter what, from now on, we will be companions! At least before the fight begins, everyone should get along well."

Previously, I didn’t know if it was Jian Zhiheng’s words that worked, or the man in the armor had other plans, but after a moment of silence, he actually put away his weapons. Although his eyes before him turned around, he was still so fierce that the young man in the demon clan was numb.

Next, the house entered the calm before the storm. Ten people sat down in the wooden chairs assigned to each other, forming a circle, and felt a bit leisurely like a tea party. If they were to be seen by people who didn't know the truth, they might really think that the atmosphere here was so harmonious.

"Being able to meet is fate. How about we introduce ourselves?" Naturally, the situation has evolved to this day, and it depends on Bai Yun threading needles and threading them. "Let me start with me. I am Bai Yun, and I just started to be a bounty hunter. I came here because of the task I received at the Mercenary Union. Where are you?"

The whole audience fell into a brief silence. No wonder, although most of the people here are spiritual practitioners and have a more calm mind than ordinary people, it is still difficult to make good friends with each other when facing a group of "potential enemies" who will fight to the death tomorrow. Moreover, showing their background frankly may also reveal their shortcomings, which is very unfavorable for tomorrow's battle-

After a while, no one responded, Bai Yun's delicate willow eyebrows also fell slightly. Feng Qiu couldn't bear to see his girlfriend being in a cold situation, so he took the initiative to take it: "Feng Qiu, the bounty hunter." Looking around for a while, he raised his hand and hugged Bai Yun, adding: "It's Yun'er's fiancé."

Ye Shuo smiled bitterly, please, you don’t have to show your love at this moment... Under the expectant gaze of the two, he also briefly continued: "Ye Shuo, a casual cultivator."

"Although it's not necessary, I'll tell you." The handsome man from the demon clan leaned in the lounge chair, gently lifting his long hair, "The prince of the Silver Fox Clan, Duanmuzhi. Our Silver Fox Clan is a gorgeous race that can freely travel through time. If it's a treasure of time, it should belong to our clan."

People have the heart to follow the crowd. After the first four people introduced them, the rest of the people also seemed much more relaxed. The young man from the demon clan mustered up the courage to speak, "My name is Xi Hanjun. His identity... everyone already knows. This time I came here because I have never been valued. So this time, I also want to follow Princess Guanxuan and His Highness Shang Yan, hoping to help them and get the recognition of the elders in the clan..."

His eyes dodged and still did not dare to raise them completely. At the end, his voice became lighter and lighter, "Although, Your Highness Shang Yan did not welcome me from the beginning..."

"The demon clan must die!" The man in the armored man next to him was like ice.

Duan Muzhi, a handsome man from the demon clan, leaned against the back of the chair, and Yu Guang swept over contemptuously: "I'm so annoying, then we'll call you 'demon dead'. Next."

This strange title made the man in the armor speechless for a while. Just when everyone thought he would not speak again, under the drooping hood, a muffled sound came: "...The sword will not return."

"Don't blame me for not saying ugly words in front of you. You actually trust the demons and will only destroy themselves." Jian Bugui then added coldly. This was the first time that everyone heard him say such a long thing.

Xi Hanjun's body shrank into the chair again, so cowardly that she seemed to want to turn into a piece of wood chips in the chair, and her hands hanging on her knees were shaking.

The petite and delicate girl spoke timidly: "My name is Yuning, and she is a white rabbit demon. Although she has eaten the transformation pill, perhaps because of her poor skills, her ears will often be exposed..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her long and pointed ears stood up as if they were in response to the situation. Yu Ning raised her hand in a panic and pressed her ears, and her cheeks were also blushed quietly.

"I came here because I have a good sister. Her boyfriend was eroded by the power of time not long ago, so... I hope I can help my sister a little bit..."

Yu Ning's voice was very thin, slightly raised due to panic, with a swaying trembling. Combined with her weak appearance, she felt pitiful.

"Ah, after coming here, I forgot to contact my sister because I was so scared..." Yu Ning seemed to remember something, quickly took out the jade slip, and after connecting it opposite, he said hurriedly: "Sister, I have arrived at the Time Clock Tower. Don't worry, I will definitely get the treasure of time..."

The tone of the opposite side was a little strange: "Hey... I said you, you actually ran away?"

Yu Ning nodded repeatedly, and after a moment of silence, a sharp burst of laughter suddenly erupted.

"Sure enough, you are still so easy to cheat! Hahahahaha, I laughed so hard that my tears came out! You guys lost, pay the money quickly..."

Yu Ning held the jade slip and was stunned on the spot. Such a strange tone and laughter was really the gentle and kind sister she had known before, who would always take care of herself patiently?

There was a loud voice across the street, and a few rude curses could be heard vaguely, as if complaining about why Yu Ning was so stupid that they had lost money by betting. Amid the crisp jingle of the spirit stone, the sound of "sister" sounded again.

"Yunning, you won't have to come back in the future. Sister, I will see this money as if I saw you-"

The tears gradually filled the eyes of Yu Ning's wide open, and the tears slid down her cheeks, reflecting the hazy thing in front of her: "Why...how is this happening..." Yu Jian slid from her weak fingers and fell on the floor. She could still hear the unrestrained laughter from the opposite side.

Have you been cheated? I just made me go to this dangerous place because of a bet or a lie between my sister and others, and I was forced to participate in the next life-gambling game. I... I might really die... Why...

The laughter in the jade slip suddenly couldn't be heard, and a pair of warm hands also covered the back of his trembling hands.

"Yunning, it's okay, we will definitely protect you." Bai Yun stared at her seriously, "Everyone must survive this 'game'!"

Yu Ning raised her gaze timidly. Can you trust her? Is it really possible? When my sister talked to me, she was always as gentle as her, but just now, I was deceived... Anyway, she just wanted to comfort me for the time being and kill me after I relaxed my vigilance. Moreover, she is still a human...

Thinking of this, Yu Ning's palm suddenly shrank backwards. Bai Yun thought she was trembling unconsciously and held her tighter. Yu Ning stared at the hands that were shaking between the two, and slowly moved her eyes up. What she touched was a pair of quiet and gentle eyes like blue waves. The helplessness and sadness that had been betrayed seemed to gradually melt under the comfort of this quiet water.

Yes... Although I was betrayed by my sister, there are still many good people in this world, right? Look at what I was thinking about just now... She really wanted to help me. In this case, I can only trust her, right?

"Oh, the atmosphere is so heavy, then it's me next." Jian Zhiheng simply moved his limbs in the chair. "I just said that my name is Jian Zhiheng. Both of us are fresh graduates of Tiansheng Academy and the main force of the former school sports team. We both plan to enter the Tiangong Gate, so we haven't been looking for a job for the time being. After hearing about the Time Bell Tower, we just wanted to come for adventure and play. Who knew that we would encounter such a thing."

The melancholy young man next to him received his gaze and just said two words coldly: "Guan Ci." He still didn't look at anyone, his voice was as indifferent as if he was wandering alone in a different space. Ye Shuo and others had heard Jian Zhiheng call him "A Ci". It took a long time to understand that he was reporting his name.

The fat man named Pang Zuo sat at the end and listened quietly, and suddenly sighed: "Tiansheng... It's so good. I wanted to take the Tiansheng exam before, but unfortunately I failed the exam. If such a high-level college, if I don't have a background in wealth, the admission score will be so high..."

"Tian Sheng?" Ye Shuo frowned in confusion.

"Why, you won't know, right?" Pang Zuo showed an exaggerated look up, "The Tiansheng Academy of the Tiansheng Kingdom, the highest academy in the entire spiritual continent!"

"Speaking of this, is the legendary school bully in the third grade not yet graduated?" When he heard people talking about their alma mater, Jian Zhiheng seemed to be excited, sat upright and asked to his side.

Guan Zhen said "um" lightly, showing a rare interest: "Do you know him?"

Jian Zhiheng smiled: "When I was in the school sports team, I had just come across it a few times. I was a very interesting guy. My strength is no less than that of some mentors, but my cultural courses are a mess and I am unqualified every year. Speaking of which, although I am very curious, how did he get into Tiansheng like him..."

Seeing the two people in front of them really want to lead the topic to an ordinary dormitory symposium, Feng Qiu had to interrupt them: "Now isn't it time to recall your college life, right? Should you discuss how to get rid of the current bad situation? After all, the 'game' may start at any time!"

Bai Yun was the first to stand up with a firm expression: "I will never fight with everyone! I think we promise each other here first that we will never participate in the 'game' tomorrow!"

Duanmu Zhi glanced at her lazily: "Miss, that won't work for you."

"Since the rule of the game is to kill only the last person, there will definitely be someone who betrays the middle. If you still regard the traitor as your companion, you can imagine what the outcome will be like, right?"

Although this sentence is cruel, it is also extremely realistic. Many people who have already put down their guard a little because of the "self-introduction" just now have become alert again and look at others with the eyes of the enemy.

Bai Yun said anxiously: "So... at least the people in this room promised each other not to fight each other, okay? Because... have you all introduced yourself? We can become companions!"

Duanmuzhi sighed and glanced at her with a "no teaching" look: "If you want to do that kind of boring thing, go. I will leave with you tomorrow." After twitching my long hair again, I walked towards my own big bed.

The rest of the people looked at each other, Jian Bugui stood up and left, so just like the previous trend of following the crowd, the remaining people left one by one. In the end, except Bai Yun, only Ye Shuo, Feng Qiu and Yu Ning were left.

"Why...why are you like this..." Bai Yun lowered his head in disappointment. He wanted to unite everyone, but he still couldn't do it...?

Meanwhile, in the fourth room.

A corpse was lying on the ground, and blood was accumulated on his side. Everyone surrounded him, opening their mouths and tongues. It took a while for a look of surprise and fear to look at the girl who was not far away holding a long sword in her hand, but with a gorgeous face covering of frost.

"Hey, the rules mean that the fight will start from tomorrow!" someone shouted tremblingly.

The girl swept back with a cold look: "But the rules didn't say that we can't reduce our competitors from tonight first." She shook her long hair and walked away, and the cold voice came coldly, "A coward like this, even if she stayed, it would only get in the way."

The people in the place stared at the body for a while, and suddenly someone screamed: "I said... if we want to reduce our competitors, shouldn't we solve this terrifying woman who can kill people without changing her face?"

If she was not dealt with first, who would know how many people would die under her sword this night alone? In this case, the first thing to do is to unanimously externally... Everyone nodded in their hearts, looked at the girl's back, and quietly pressed the weapon in their hands.

The girl's steps paused for a moment, turned around, walked over step by step, her eyes were cold, and her smile showed ridicule: "Since I practiced, don't tell me, you have never killed anyone?"

Although the previous advocate was slightly trembling under the pressure of her arrogance, he thought that the other party was the public enemy in the room, and his confidence suddenly became stronger. He whispered his neck and shouted: "I... I just haven't killed anyone! Why do you have to kill someone if you become a strong man?"

The girl's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded as if she was approving: "Oh, that's your freedom, but..."

A sword light flashed, and another corpse fell down, with a dazzling blood mark on its neck.

"If you don't kill someone, you are just waiting to be killed by others!" The girl looked down at the dead man with wide eyes and coldly continued what she had not finished.

"Damn it, who is that woman?" Only after the girl turned around, someone dared to whisper. The other party had a very quick move, and they had no time to react. Everyone thought to themselves that if the sword was stabbing at them, they would probably have no confidence to dodge them.

Everyone shook their heads. They just entered this room by chance, but they didn't know the origin of others. After a while, a girl with medium-length curly hair whispered: "She is the daughter of the leader of the evil Feng Sect, and also my senior sister, Jiang Caini."

"Evil Feng Sect..." Everyone looked at each other, "I said this is the subordinate force of Jiuyou Palace, right?"

"With such a background, no wonder he is so domineering..."

Although the room was expanded to eight people, there was no separate bedroom. Eight beds were arranged in pairs in the hall. Although everyone had lowered their voices before, they still heard Jiang Caini's ears without missing a word. She turned her head beside the bed and glanced proudly at the talking girl.

"You girl has a lot of mouths. Are you a junior sister of the same school? What's your name?"

The girl bit her lip and replied softly: "Jin Siqi."

Jiang Caini snorted coldly: "I thought your name was Canary before, and I thought your parents were really open-minded."

In the room, there was another awkward silence. There was only one boy who had not participated in the previous chaos from beginning to end. He sat alone in the corner, with a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose and a strong bookish atmosphere on his face, like a standard model student in the academy. He was fiddling with jade slips in his hand, and pushed his glasses casually, and a sharp dark light reflected on the lenses.
