Volume 1: Brothers, Brothers Chapter 11: The first battle, meeting less than half (Part 1)
Dozens of Skyfire Iron Kite were hovering in the mid-air, like a group of huge black hawks, proudly looking down at the ants all over the ground.
Those ants are the dense crowds on the grassland.
The outermost is the Shenyi Guard. Soldiers in black armor, white armor, fiery red armor, and gold armor are like a string of pearls, guarding the outer edge of the grassland so tightly that not even a fly can fly over; inside the crowd, there are also groups of twos and threes.
The soldiers, with their sharp eyes like the gaze of death, looked at the surrounding teenagers coldly, as if they were looking at a group of criminals.
Of course, there are more young people participating in the Holy Blood Sacrifice. According to Shen Yiwei, they are called "Blood Sacrifice".
Zhang Qi stood in the crowd, with people in front and behind him, which made him feel unable to adapt.
Not far away were two Shenyi Guard officers, wearing red secret bronze battle helmets and scarlet battle robes. Zhang Qi had learned about the rank of Shenyi Guard officers from Chu Yunshan and the others, and recognized those wearing this kind of armor.
They are all flag officers of Shenyi Guard.
The Shenyi Guard is a very regular military force. The most basic officer is the military commander who is in charge of ten people, then there are the flag lieutenants who are in charge of fifty people, the school captain who is in charge of five flags, and the captain who is in charge of five teams -
—Captain, already a very, very big officer.
The shy and pot-bellied flag officer sighed: "There are so many people, I'm afraid there are no less than 100,000 people?"
Another flag officer's face was dark: "Look at how many Heavenly Fire Iron Kite there are in the sky. I'm afraid there are no less than forty or fifty. Each one can carry three thousand people. I'm afraid there are more than 120,000 or 30,000 blood sacrificers on this grassland!"
"
He swallowed his saliva: "This is only one-third of the blood sacrificers. There are two starting camps to the east and north of Wanzhang Mountain. Like here, there are also more than 100,000 blood sacrificers gathered."
He looked around mysteriously and whispered: "Lao Yu, let me tell you, I also heard it from General Sima. It is said that at least 370,000 people participated in this Holy Blood Sacrifice! It was densely packed and full of people.
These kids in their teens, twenties, and thirties!”
Once a warrior breaks through to a monk, in addition to a great increase in strength, it is said that the life span will also be greatly increased. These two flag captains carelessly refer to those in their twenties and thirties as "children". It seems that their actual ages are already
Not too small.
"Oh, what a crime. There are so many people in our Kingdom of Shenyi who are between ten and thirty years old. Aren't they broken?"
"What's the big deal? You don't know, right? All the cultivating sects in Shengtian Jiuzhou are holding the Holy Blood Sacrifice. Even the ghosts in the north and the demons in the south are no exception. If there is a loss, it will be the nine dynasties together.
The loss is not limited to our Kingdom of Shenyi. Moreover, the Kingdom has more than hundreds of millions of children, with only over 300,000 people. What’s the big deal? Besides, the oracle requires that the main ones are still the four surnames Ye, Xiao, Lin, and Chen.
It seems that I don’t know how these four guardian gods of the God Realm offended His Majesty the God Emperor..."
"Yes, other surnames are fine, but they are targeting these four surnames because they deliberately want these four surnames to have no future!"
"Oh, I really pity these children who haven't grown up yet. I'm afraid they don't know what they will face..."
"Although the oracle is the greatest and everyone in the world obeys the edict, this is true, true..."
The two flag lieutenants did not continue speaking, as if they were afraid of leaking some news. Moreover, their voices were actually very low. If Zhang Qi's perception was not really strong, he might not be able to hear these whispers.
After hearing these words, Zhang Qi couldn't help but frowned. This holy blood sacrifice seemed more dangerous than he thought!
Although he finally condensed the gray gaseous Dantian and started the path of cultivation, he has never experienced even a formal cultivation, and he has no skills. Basically, he is no different from having no cultivation: his strength is still too weak.
ah!
Oh no, it's not that the strength is too weak, it's that there is no strength at all.
You must do everything possible to improve your strength as soon as possible.
But Zhang Qi himself never thought about how he, who had no skills, no money, no partners, no weapons, no battle clothes, and nothing, could survive the Holy Blood Sacrifice and improve his strength at the same time.
At this moment, a melodious sound of trumpets echoed, and countless soldiers retreated to the edge of the grassland like a tide.
On the entire grassland with a radius of dozens of miles, there were only more than 100,000 blood sacrificers left, each one standing dumbfounded.
And far away from them, at the Wan Zhang Mountain at the end of the Wan Zhang Plain, a blue light curtain appeared.
"Take out your blood sacrifice token!" A shout came, making Zhang Qi's eardrums buzz.
He looked up and saw a general in golden armor standing on a Skyfire Iron Kite. Although he was not tall and stood a hundred feet in the air above the ground, strangely everyone could see it clearly.
From his figure, his movements, and even his lips moving when he spoke, it was as if this person was standing in front of everyone, less than a foot away from them.
Zhang Qi subconsciously took out the blood sacrifice token, and saw that on the dark red token, which looked like it was covered with blood, the word "sacrifice" slowly appeared on the front, and on the back there was a row of numbers: 134586, and above the numbers was a large area.
A bright red blank.
Thinking of the conversation between the two flag captains just now, he firmly guessed that this number was probably the number of people participating in the blood sacrifice.
"The blood sacrifice is about to begin. I have a few words that I hope you will keep in mind: First, follow the command in all actions. Whatever you are told, you must do it. Otherwise, you can look around. We, the Divine Guards,
He is not a merciful Lord!”
Zhang Qi glanced around the grassland and saw that all the divine guards had raised their swords and guns, and drew their bows and arrows.
"Second, take action when it's time to take action. You must not be merciful! Our Holy Blood Sacrifice is to find the top talents. Those who are soft-hearted will never be such talents. If you dare not take action, you will definitely be eliminated!
"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Qi seemed to see a thick layer of blood on the grassland!
"Okay, the time has come. Please read the rules on the token. After I sound three times, the blood sacrifice will begin! One!"
Zhang Qi looked down and saw rows of small dark red words on the blood sacrifice token: The blood sacrifice has begun, please rush to Wanzhang Mountain immediately. There is a row of entrances at the foot of the mountain. From there, you can pass through the Yantian light shield and enter Wanzhang Mountain.
But please note that all
The blood sacrificers who rush into Wan Zhang Mountain must have two blood sacrifice tokens in order to open the Yantian Light Shield. Therefore, kill the people around you and seize the blood sacrifice tokens in their hands. Only in this way can you participate in the blood sacrifice, otherwise
, you can only be eliminated!
The azure light curtain on the Wanzhang Mountain in the distance is the "Yantian Light Mask" mentioned in the Blood Sacrifice Order. Zhang Qi visually measured the distance and found that it was about three to five miles and could be reached in a quarter of an hour. It was not too far away.
But the key is not the distance, but another rule: only two blood sacrifice tokens can open the Yantian Light Mask.
However, each Blood Sacrifice only has one Blood Sacrifice Token. If you want the second one, you must go to someone else to grab it.
In other words, only at most half of the people can participate in the blood sacrifice; the other half will all be eliminated!
The Blood Sacrifice Order did not say what the consequences would be after being eliminated, but Zhang Qi knew that the consequences would not be too wonderful.
This is "meeting less than half"!
Zhang Qi felt a chill running down his spine, half of it coming from the dark red blood on the token, and the other half coming from the bloodthirsty gazes around him!
Is anyone willing to voluntarily contribute their own blood sacrifice order? The answer is obviously no.
After traveling thousands of miles to get here, there are countless Shenyi Guards watching eagerly around them, so no one will be eliminated voluntarily - this means that if you want to get another Blood Sacrifice Order, you will probably have to kill someone! The only way is to kill the opponent.
, you can get the blood sacrifice order in the opponent's hand; and if you want to avoid being killed by others, you have to kill others as soon as possible!
In this way, those who can finally participate in the blood sacrifice may not even reach half of it: you can't guarantee that after you get two blood sacrifice orders, others will not come to trouble you again. You have to kill people one after another until you rush in
Yantian light mask!
The blood sacrifice has not yet begun, but everyone has become enemies, and everyone must face a choice: kill, or be killed!
kill!
This is such a heavy word, he always thought it was such a distant word, so far away that he never thought about it - he has passed his sixteenth birthday, and in the past sixteen years, he has seen dead bodies, but killing people, he
But I haven’t even thought about it!
Not only him, many of the teenagers around him had obviously not thought about it, and they were all panicked.
"W-what does this mean? Does this mean we should kill and be killed?"
"Is there any mistake? We are here to participate in the Holy Blood Sacrifice, not to die or commit crimes!"
"No, I am the young owner of Wancheng Hutchison Store. I still have a million silver taels in my family that I need to inherit. I can't die here!"
"I won't participate in this blood sacrifice, I won't participate anymore, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
"No, I want to protest. I am a member of the army. I want to protest. You can't treat me like this..."
"Help, help, someone come and save us..."
In an instant, countless cries broke out at the same moment. Some were yelling, some were hysterical, some were speechless and crying, some were holding their heads and crying, and some were sneering at the corner of their mouths and showing a fierce look in their eyes.
Zhang Qi looked at the crowd around him with awe, and secretly clenched his fists: Even if he has nothing, he still has a strong heart. No matter what situation he encounters, he will never give up voluntarily: If you want to fight, then come
Bar!
Of course, to be on the safe side, he threw the blood sacrifice order into the no-abandonment ring.
But no matter what kind of performance the blood sacrificers performed, the face of the general on the Heavenly Fire Iron Kite was as firm as ten thousand years of ice.
He just waited for half a minute to let the blood sacrificers vent their emotions, and then continued counting.
"Two! Three! Start!" This chapter has been completed!
