Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 304, Rules of the Proving Ground
Under the cover of night, a dozen men gathered around the campfire and chatted.
"I heard that there is finally some movement from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a group of geniuses will be sent into the trial field next."
"To put it bluntly, our destiny is to serve as stepping stones for others."
"Isn't that right? We people are just cannon fodder. We should first find out the rules for others on the trial field, and then they will pick up what's already there."
"..."
These people were quite dissatisfied that the top geniuses of the Great Zhou Dynasty were entering the trial field at this time.
The cost of loss is too great, hundreds or even thousands of human warriors die almost every day.
In the entire trial field, human warriors are currently at a disadvantage.
…
Lu Jiuzhang tidied up, walked to the bonfire, and found a remote corner to sit down.
These men didn't say anything, they just glanced at each other and continued chatting.
"I heard that Little Killer God Xuanji and the others were forced into the black mist ruins. They tried to break out several times, but they were all forced back by the combination of demon geniuses."
"Ji Wushuang is said to have been seriously injured and is in critical condition."
"The remaining ten demon-slaying guards of the Demon-Slaying Division show no sign of rescue."
A man said.
"Who knows?" Another man took over the topic and started chatting. "The little killing god Xuanji showed his sharpness before, so he will definitely be targeted by the demon clan. Look at the other ten demon-slaying guards.
Almost all of them hibernated."
After the man finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
After a while, someone continued to speak, "I heard that another genius appeared in the castle two days ago and killed two demon princes. One was a fifth-level demon, and the other was a sixth-level demon. It seemed to be a mountain rhinoceros.
Of the same clan.”
"The Mountain Rhino clan is one of the top 100 demon clans in the Demon Realm. After the demon prince of the Mountain Rhino clan died, it was said that his eldest brother was coming to avenge his younger brother and planned to hunt down the human genius.
."
"Is he the number one descendant of the demon king of the Mountain Rhino clan?" someone nearby asked.
"Yes, it is that monster. It is said that he is seventy-four years old this year, and his strength is already comparable to that of the demon emperor's heir. He is now at the peak of the fifth level of martial arts and is about to enter the fourth level of martial arts."
The man explained.
The demon race has an extremely long lifespan, and anyone under 100 years old can be considered a genius of the younger generation.
The other party is seventy-four years old, which is almost equivalent to a human being of about twenty-seven or eight years old.
In addition, the demon king has many descendants. An ordinary demon king has dozens of descendants, and some demon kings even have hundreds of descendants.
Of course, although there are many descendants, most of the demon prince's descendants are lost among the demons.
Only a few can stand out and be extremely powerful.
Lu Jiuzhang gained a little from this campfire chat.
The top young strongman of the Mountain Rhino clan has his eyes on him.
Lu Jiuzhang continued to remain silent without saying a word.
We only chatted a few words about his topic, and then turned to other topics.
…
The next morning.
Some of the warriors stationed here have already left.
Those who were left behind made a fire to cook.
It was a peaceful night, and Lu Jiuzhang also had a good sleep.
Bai Xiaosu squatted outside the tent, built a simple stove with a few stones, placed a pitch-black pot on it, and began to cook the monster meat.
Not long after, the scent of monster meat hit my face.
"Tsk tsk tsk...it smells so good!" The big black snake woke up from its sleep. The next second it smelled the scent of monster meat, it couldn't help but crawl out of the tent and swam to Bai Xiaosu's side.
"Sister Bai, I used to think you didn't have the talent for cooking. Now, I admit that I said the wrong thing before."
The big black snake climbed onto Bai Xiaosu's shoulder, greedily smelling the aroma of the meat.
Lu Jiuzhang also came over and waited quietly for the meal to begin.
"stop!"
There was a burst of scolding in the distance, and then a middle-aged man rushed over and shouted at Lu Jiuzhang and others, "Are you crazy for stewing meat here?"
"I don't know the taste of monster meat, how can it easily anger those monsters?"
"When the time comes, a large number of monsters will rush towards us. Can we resist them?"
This man had a dark face and felt that the warriors in front of him were a little ignorant. Didn't this drag everyone down?
After all, there are many warriors here!
If a large number of monsters attack, there will definitely be heavy casualties.
“Some vegetarian stew!”
The man threw some vegetables from his arms.
Bai Xiaosu hesitated and glanced at Lu Jiuzhang a few times.
"Keep it."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
Immediately, Lu Jiuzhang looked at the middle-aged man again, "Thank you for reminding me, brother!"
"It's nothing. I guess you have just come to the trial ground and don't know the depth of it. Old guys like us have summed up some rules by constantly fighting here."
"If we stew or grill meat here, the aroma will easily spread, and those monsters will think we are provoking us. Small-scale monsters are fine, but if a large-scale monster attacks, all of us who camped last night will die."
"So, in this trial field, prepare more vegetarian food, preferably dry food. It will make you full easily and eat quickly, so you don't have to spend time cooking."
The man continued.
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, what this man said made sense.
After thanking him again, the man turned around and left.
"What should we do? Master Jiu, should we still cook monster meat?"
Looking at the large pot of monster meat, the big black snake felt a little pity.
"Everyone has said, let's change to some vegetarian dishes." Lu Jiuzhang said.
If you are just here, it doesn't matter. If any monsters dare to come, let them come and never come back.
It's a pity that there are others here.
I dug a hole, poured the almost cooked monster meat into it, and filled it with soil to prevent the smell of the monster meat from dissipating.
Then, start cooking again.
When you eat these dishes, they feel a bit bland.
The big black snake rarely eats vegetarian food. After just two bites, it couldn't help but spit it out.
"Master Jiu, these days are so miserable."
The big black snake said dissatisfiedly, "Coming to the trial ground to fight, life is already very difficult. Even the food has to be restricted. It is impossible to live this life."
"I'll give you another meal when I get back to the castle."
Lu Jiuzhang ate some of the cooked food, but his appetite was not very good.
Just as he put the bowl down, he saw the big black snake froze.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Jiuzhang saw that it looked strange and asked.
"There are monsters coming, and there are quite a few of them, at least thirty or forty. There are strong and weak ones, and the highest ones have reached the sixth level of the demon path." The big black snake reminded.
Didn’t you just cook a pot of meat?
As for such a big movement!
Lu Jiuzhang took out the Frost Sky Blade from the storage ring in advance and held it in his right hand.
"Peng Qiang, go and remind those people."
Lu Jiuzhang shouted at Peng Qiang.
We are all from the same human race, so if we remind each other and put them on guard, it won't be a big problem. This chapter has been completed!
