(I went out to do some errands early in the morning, so the first chapter was a little late.)
…
There is a dense forest one hundred kilometers away from New Kyoto City. This is the red danger area that the awakened people in New Kyoto City talk about. Because the lowest level monsters in this dense forest are all second-level vitality, and the monsters with highest vitality are extremely
Generally, if you are unlucky, you may even encounter some monsters with level 4 vitality.
Because of the Sword and Shield Empire, the awakened people in New Kyoto City also know about the fourth vitality world and such things as vitality barriers.
Although the fifth Yuan Qi world and the fourth Yuan Qi world have been partially integrated at present, it is not complete, so there is such a thing as a Yuan Qi barrier. The Yuan Qi barrier will restrict the passage of powerful Yuan Qi individuals. According to the current situation, it is necessary to
There is no problem in passing through the vitality barrier at the first and second level of vitality, but it takes some effort to pass through the vitality barrier, but it can still pass through some weak areas of the vitality barrier, but it is not easy to pass through the vitality barrier at the fourth level.
.
It's just that these restrictions don't apply near New Kyoto City. Because of the floating holy city here, the vitality barrier is very thin, so there will be some fourth-level vitality creatures entering, including of course people from major forces in the fourth vitality world.
, it's like drawing two partially overlapping circles on a piece of paper. The vicinity of New Kyoto City is the 'intersection' of the two vitality worlds.
So this place is different from the Lion City. There are almost no fourth-level vitality creatures near the Lion City, but there are them here. It can be said that if it were not for the floating holy city, if it were not for the Sword and Shield Empire, it would be impossible for humans to survive here.
Just resisting the fourth-level creatures is enough to make the awakened human beings run for their lives. But now, with the floating holy city and the sword and shield empire, no creature, not even the terrifying black dragon king with fifth-level vitality, dares to attack New Kyoto City.
At this moment, in the depths of this dense forest, a sword-tailed lizard that was over ten meters in size and weighed five or six tons was lying quietly in an open space, gnawing on a ** creature it had just killed.
This sword-tailed lizard is a standard fourth-level creature. Its hard and thick scales can even withstand attacks from artillery shells, and it can also change color with the surrounding environment. At this moment, it blends into the surrounding trees and rocks.
Especially at night, even if you look carefully, you can't see any clues.
At this moment, the sword-tailed lizard seemed to have discovered something. When it looked up, a huge black shadow suddenly fell from above its head. Before the sword-tailed lizard could react, it was knocked to the ground by a huge claw.
The strong scales on its body were also cracked and dented at this moment, and pungent blood flowed out and splashed all over the floor. However, for a creature of the sword-tailed lizard's level, this kind of injury is nothing at all. On the contrary, this injury is nothing.
This kind of damage will make it go crazy.
What just fell was a huge bone dragon, and on the back of the bone dragon, there was also riding a skeleton knight wearing armor and holding a long sword and shield. This skeleton knight was holding a large shield and a long sword, and the sword-tailed lizard had just stood up.
At that moment, he jumped up and stabbed the sword-tailed lizard in the vital part. The lizard writhed on the ground twice before dying.
In the distance, Wu Ming looked at the battle that was resolved in an extreme incident from the top of a big tree, and nodded. The sword-tailed lizard is not weak, and it is definitely the best among the fourth-level creatures, but facing it
There is absolutely no resistance to the combination of the Skeleton Swordsman and the Bone Dragon. In other words, among the fourth-level creatures, the combination of the Skeleton Swordsman and the Bone Dragon can already sweep all creatures below the fifth level.
Of course, if you encounter some special opponents, such as awakened ones with special cards, or the extremely powerful occult apprentices, the situation will be different, but no matter what, in terms of biological slaves, Wu Ming at least
Occupying an absolute advantage, if there is trouble, the role that the two biological slaves can play is very great.
After testing the combat effectiveness of this 'skeleton knight', Wu Ming returned directly to New Kyoto City. The next period of time was calm. According to Dewey, the Wang family, which suffered a big loss last time, also calmed down and stopped fighting again.
There was no action, and the frame-up fabricated by the Wang family against Qi Guangmin was also uncovered under the investigation of the military department and the Ye family. As a result, Qi Guangmin was reinstated.
For Wu Ming, these things are no longer a top priority. The most important thing now is to prepare for the upcoming test of the floating holy city.
Wu Ming and Dewey have discussed this matter together many times. No one knows what the standards for recruiting occult apprentices in the Floating Holy City are, so even if they want to make some preparations for those with the last name, it will not work. But according to Wu Ming's experience,
It is always right to improve your strength.
Time flashed by, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before the test of the floating holy city.
In the third ring city area, Ye Zihan's villa area, Ye Zihan has just returned from the secret realm of vitality. At this moment, her aura is several times stronger than a month ago, as if she is an awakened person who has reached the fourth level of vitality.
Ye Zihan and some other elite awakened people in New Kyoto City entered the Yuanqi Secret Realm for nearly a month. Among them, only one-third successfully climbed to the 100th floor of the Yuanqi Tower. The remaining people still stayed in the Yuanqi Secret Realm.
The people who came back this time, including Ye Zihan, came back to participate in the test of the floating holy city. In the new Kyoto with a population of millions, they are the elite among the elite.
Ye Zhendong learned of his daughter's return immediately. He hurried back from outside. But after seeing Ye Zihan, he felt that his daughter had changed again. Although her appearance had not changed, she was colder than before and seemed difficult to get close to.
, even gave Ye Zhendong a sense of strangeness.
"Father, I have successfully advanced to the fourth level of Yuan Qi. This time, I am bound to win the test of the floating holy city!" Ye Zihan said flatly, without any sense of closeness to her father after a long separation.
"Okay, okay, Zihan, to be honest, your safety is better than anything else. Mom and I don't expect you to support the Ye family, we only hope that you can live a happy life!" Ye Zhendong is very kind. He may be outside
He is the powerful head of the Ye family and one of the most powerful figures in the new capital city. However, in front of his daughter, he showed his father's concern for her.
Ye Zihan frowned slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but soon the trace of confusion disappeared!
"Father, tomorrow is the test day. I need to take a good rest and prepare. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the room first!" Ye Zihan obviously did not intend to say anything more and was about to leave.
Ye Zhendong immediately said: "Wait a minute, Zihan, I have something to tell you. Your friend came to see you some time ago."
What he was talking about was, of course, Wu Ming.
"Friends? What friends?" Ye Zihan asked coldly.
"He said his name is Wu Ming and he came from Yucheng. He said he knew you and Qi Ting!" Ye Zhendong said while observing his daughter carefully. He also sent someone to investigate Wu Ming during this time, and he also
Knowing a lot of things, it was obvious that Wu Ming was not likely to lie, but he had to get confirmation from his daughter.
"I don't know Wu Ming, father, if there's nothing else, I'm going back to rest!" Ye Zihan answered without any hesitation, as if he had never heard of the name Wu Ming. Ye Zhendong looked stunned.
, but still nodded, and then Ye Zihan turned around and walked out.
After Ye Zihan left, Ye Zhendong frowned, and the housekeeper walked in from the side door at the back.
"Tell me, who of the two is lying?" Ye Zhendong obviously knew that the housekeeper was there, so he asked aloud.
"This...I don't know either, but I hope that Wu Ming is lying!" The housekeeper thought for a while and said helplessly.
But obviously, his implication is that he hopes it is, but the actual situation is often not.
"I hope so too!" Ye Zhendong was worried. Although he didn't want to believe that his daughter was like a father, it was obvious that his daughter was more likely to lie in this matter. The most important thing was that Ye Zhendong obviously found that his daughter had changed.
.
My daughter used to be well-behaved, sensible, and liked to talk to her, but now, she seems to have become a different person.
For a moment, Ye Zhendong felt a little exhausted, even a little overwhelmed.
Ordinary people don’t know about the test of the Floating Holy City. Only people with some status and power will know about it, or they are the best among those who are awakened. In fact, the Floating Holy City has been distributed a few months ago.
A batch of test qualification cards were given to major human families and forces, and the Du family's two test qualification cards were also obtained at that time.
In addition to humans, many elites of the Sword and Shield Empire have also obtained test qualifications. This kind of test qualifications can only be obtained by forces around the Suspended Holy City. This is why the Sword and Shield Empire and humans choose to stay under the Suspended Holy City.
Build a new Kyoto city.
Early that morning, Wu Ming walked out of Brothers Butcher Shop. Outside, a luxury car had been waiting for a long time. The car was sent by Dewey to pick Wu Ming up for the test. Those who participated in the test needed to be in New Kyoto City.
You must not be late to gather at the first ring city area, otherwise you will be directly disqualified.
When Wu Ming left, he said hello to Guan Xi and the others. After all, this test may not end within one day, so it would be better to say hello in advance.
What surprised Wu Ming was that Uncle Wen was driving, and Dewey was also in the car. He looked very nervous. There was still more than an hour before the meeting time, and he didn't know what time he got up.
"Brother Wu, to be honest, I'm really nervous. Let's go together so we can have company!" Dewey said with a smile. Wu Ming naturally had no problem, so the car drove all the way into the third ring city, and then stopped at the second ring city.
I showed my test qualification card at the checkpoint and successfully entered the second ring city area.
Under normal circumstances, humans are not allowed to enter the second-ring city area controlled by the Sword and Shield Empire, except those participating in the test.
The car drove all the way and entered the first ring city area. The architectural style here was already like that of another world. It was hard to imagine that this was actually in the new Kyoto city.
There is a huge square in the center of the first ring city, and the Floating Holy City is directly above it. At this moment, hundreds of people have gathered in this square. Obviously, these are all here to participate in the floating Holy City test.
