Time passed like this day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Xingchuan, Yang Zhijun, and Shui Yun'er had been living here for a year. During this year, in addition to practicing and chatting with Shui Yun'er, Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun
Go out and find some simple jobs to earn a little money - they don't have many crystals left on them.
After actually living here, everyone discovered that the City of Despair was actually not as scary as the outside world rumored. At least after living here for such a long time, they did not encounter any trouble and did not see any fights - this is a real city.
The land of bliss.
Over the past year, Shui Yun'er's mood has improved a lot, at least she no longer stares blankly into the distance like before.
Overall, living here is so comfortable that Liu Xingchuan and the other three have almost forgotten the hatred they carry.
The only thing that makes Liu Xingchuan feel a little regretful is that he still hasn't broken through to the sixth level demon realm this year.
"Xiaochuan, tomorrow a wealthy businessman in the city will hold a fishing competition that is held every five years. It is said that if you get the ranking, you will get a lot of rewards. Do we want to participate?" When Liu Xingchuan was meditating in the room, Yang Zhijun suddenly flew quickly
He rushed in and said excitedly.
After Liu Xingchuan calmed down the restless energy in his body, he smiled at Yang Zhijun and said, "Of course I will participate, there is nothing to do anyway!"
After hearing this, Yang Zhijun clapped his hands and quickly ran to inform Shui Yun'er.
Looking at Yang Zhijun's walking back, Liu Xingchuan had a smile on his face. He couldn't remember how long he had longed for such a life, but God was not kind to him. At least now he got what he wanted.
The next day, Liu Xingchuan, Yang Zhijun, and Shui Yun'er got up early, and after a while of rushing, they arrived at the competition venue.
"Wow, it's so big!" Looking at the endless lake in the distance, Yang Zhijun couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Xingchuan nodded, sighed slightly and said: "It's very big, but it's a pity that I can't participate because the lake you see is composed of zero water!"
His words made Yang Zhijun and Shui Yun'er on his side stunned for a moment. They used energy in their eyes. After careful observation, Shui Yun'er also sighed slightly. She is now strong enough to resist the level 5 demon.
Zero Jue Water was still a bit difficult, and after thinking about it for a while, she decided to give up.
Seeing Liu Xingchuan and Shui Yun'er give up, Yang Zhijun not only did not feel disappointed, but became even more excited. After two weird laughs, Yang Zhijun patted the two of them on the shoulders and said: "It doesn't matter, just watch this time
Let me perform, Yadan, and I must get all the awards!"
Hearing what he said, Liu Xingchuan smiled helplessly. If he really had that strength, he and the others wouldn't have to come to the City of Despair!
After giving Yang Zhijun a few words of advice, Liu Xingchuan and Shui Yun'er walked to the side to rest and waited comfortably for the game to start.
Not long after, there were more and more people in the competition venue. After a quick glance, Liu Xingchuan found that there were more than a thousand people coming, and most of them were at the eighth-level demon realm. This made him sigh that there were too many masters in the world.
Level 6 demons and level 7 demons are nothing.
After about half a stick of incense, a fat man with a fat head and ears appeared in everyone's sight, surrounded by a large group of bodyguards. His arrival made the entire arena instantly quiet.
Clearing his throat, the fat man said to everyone with a shiny smile on his face: "I'm very happy that it's the fishing competition that happens every five years again. I believe everyone is looking forward to it. I won't talk too much now and will tell you something.
Contest rules and rewards!”
After a pause, the fat man continued: "The competition is divided into nine competition areas. Practitioners of the same level are in the same competition area. Each competition area is of equal difficulty. The final results will be selected among all contestants. The first place in total will be awarded thirty
Ten Thousand Crystals will reward you with 200,000 for ranking second, and 100,000 for ranking third to tenth! In addition, we also have strange prizes and precious prizes..."
Listening to Fatty's introduction, Liu Xingchuan and Shui Yun'er almost fell asleep. This guy mentioned more than a hundred awards from beginning to end. The highest award was 300,000 crystal stones, and the lowest award was 100,000.
This made Liu Xingchuan a little confused. Even if he is giving money to everyone, he doesn't have to do this, right? According to the rewards he said, almost every contestant will receive at least 100,000 crystals as a reward. What does this mean?
After thinking for a while, he really couldn't figure it out. Liu Xingchuan shook his head hard. Now he almost forgot how long ago he had such serious thinking.
When Liu Xingchuan's thoughts returned to reality, he found that the game had already begun.
Most of the people jumped into the zero-jue water, hunched over and kept groping with their hands in the zero-jue water - the most terrifying thing about the zero-jue water is that once it is stained, they cannot use energy, even if it is stained from the past.
The same goes for the mist produced in the zero water.
Of course, there are still a few people who have not gone down. They may feel the same lack of strength as Liu Xingchuan and Shui Yun'er, so they are watching leisurely.
The huge competition venue was very quiet at this time, and everyone was concentrating on searching for the target.
Ten minutes passed, and suddenly an extremely excited male voice suddenly broke the silence: "Haha, number one! Yeah! If I work harder, the first place will be mine, haha!"
Not long after the man's voice died down, another excited voice spread again. It seemed that he had gained something.
Then, the excited sounds kept ringing and dying down, lasting for two sticks of incense.
Liu Xingchuan and Shui Yun'er, who were watching at the same time, felt extremely bored. Without participating, it would be impossible to experience the excitement when something is gained!
Soon after, Liu Xingchuan and Shui Yun'er began to close their eyes and relax.
Time passed like this minute by minute, and the excited shouts of the crowd slowly died down. After half an hour, there were no more shouts in the entire arena.
At this moment, the silence was terrifying.
At this moment, Liu Xingchuan opened his eyes, and he felt something was wrong.
At this moment, Liu Xingchuan suddenly felt a long-lost throbbing and panic in his heart. Although it passed briefly, it was so clear.
After being stunned for a moment, Liu Xingchuan suddenly yelled "No," and then he quickly rushed towards the Lingjue Lake.
Shui Yun'er on the side was startled by Liu Xingchuan's sudden loss of composure. Without any hesitation, she followed Liu Xingchuan's footsteps.
Liu Xingchuan and Shui Yun'er, who came to the lake as quickly as possible, were stunned when they saw the scene in Lingjue Lake. Almost everyone in the lake turned into ice sculptures - they still
He kept the same movements as when fishing, hunched over, stretched out his hands in the zero water, and still had an excited smile on his face.
"Look for Xiaojun quickly!" Liu Xingchuan was stunned for a while, then suddenly woke up and hurriedly shouted to Shui Yun'er on the side.
Shui Yun'er suddenly woke up when she heard Liu Xingchuan's shouting, and quickly flew around the shore of Lingjue Lake to check one by one. Fortunately, these people did not go into the depths, and fortunately the mist produced by Lingjue Water
It rises vertically, otherwise just searching would be impossible - Shui Yun'er's body can't resist the cold air of Ling Jue Water.
A few minutes later, Liu Xingchuan finally found Yang Zhijun in a corner. Fortunately for Liu Xingchuan, Yang Zhijun's situation was relatively optimistic compared to others - he was swimming towards the shore.
posture.
However, at this time, his body was also covered with a thin layer of ice, and his body was trembling constantly.
After calculating the distance, Liu Xingchuan felt that he could hold on until he pulled Yang Zhijun up. He jumped down and swam hard towards Yang Zhijun, who was not far from the shore.
Liu Xingchuan, who had just entered the Zero Jue Water, felt the biting cold. This cold was even more terrifying than what he had encountered when he rescued Yiyi before. When he just swam to Yang Zhijun, his whole body began to tremble.
——It is impossible to use energy in the zero water. It is still a bit reluctant to just rely on the body to resist.
Without stopping at all, Liu Xingchuan pulled Yang Zhijun and swam upstream quickly.
A few minutes later, the two finally landed ashore, and Shui Yun'er had already lit a lot of firewood and was waiting anxiously.
"You... you... help him... drive... away... the cold..." Liu Xingchuan, who had just landed, threw Yang Zhijun down and said to Shui Yun'er with his whole body trembling. Then he quickly moved to the burning firewood and evaporated.
The zero water on the body.
Shui Yun'er glanced at Liu Xingchuan, then converted the energy in her body into fierce flames, and sprayed them towards Yang Zhijun.
Not long after, Liu Xingchuan finally recovered more than half of his energy. Without any time to think about it, he quickly rushed towards the place where he rested before.
After hearing what Liu Xingchuan said, the few people who were resting did not speak or take any action. They just looked at Liu Xingchuan coldly and said lightly: "This is none of my business. Besides, I didn't participate in the competition. The biggest thing is.
The reason is that it is impossible to resist the zero water!"
What these people said was true, but at this moment, Liu Xingchuan felt endless sadness.
People in this world are too indifferent and all they care about is themselves.
With a helpless sigh, Liu Xingchuan returned to the lake again, trying his best to search for any contestants he could hope to save.
After two sticks of incense, Liu Xingchuan finally rescued the two of them, but he himself was almost frozen into ice slag, and the rescue operation stopped.
Taking a look at the lives frozen into ice sculptures in the lake, Liu Xingchuan sighed secretly. He wanted to help them, but unfortunately he could not do anything. This was the third time that he watched the fresh life pass quietly before his eyes...
Evening finally came, and with the sound of a bell, the game officially ended.
Liu Xingchuan and Yang Zhijun, who had barely recovered half of their strength, stood up and slowly left the Lingjue Lake.
In the final result of the competition, Yang Zhijun won almost half of the awards, because there were only fourteen contestants who survived the competition - including Liu Xingchuan and Shui Yun'er, nine people gave up at the beginning of the competition.
.
In other words, except for Yang Zhijun and the other two people who were rescued by Liu Xingchuan, only two people survived by relying on their own abilities.
Looking at the nearly two million crystals in his hand, Liu Xingchuan grinned - everything came so hard and yet so easily.
And there is always a question lingering in his mind: Why are so many people freezing to death even though they can move freely?
