Chapter 1023 Underground
If you want to give a score to the scenery above the ground in Long City, Ji Xiaoyan thinks that it can only be given about sixty points at most. It was an extra point because the buildings were not very high; however, after going down the underground passage of Long City, Ji Xiaoyan dared to say that she had never seen such a beautiful city with her own eyes! If we were to give a score, the underground Long City would definitely get a perfect score of 100%
The opening of the underground passage in Long City looks very ordinary, almost like an ordinary underground parking lot. Just two dozen men in military uniforms stood on both sides of the entrance, responsible for observing and checking every resident entering the passage, and responsible for security issues at the entrance of the passage.
Because Ji Xiaoyan, Yu Qisi, and Lu Wu were all "led" by several men in military uniforms, during the inspection, it was obvious that they were let go. The men in military uniforms who followed Ji Xiaoyan and the others just whispered a few words to the men in military uniforms guarding the entrance of the passage. After Ji Xiaoyan and the others were looked at for a few times, they were let in easily and stepped into the Passage opening.
After entering, Ji Xiaoyan discovered that there was a gate at the entrance of the passage. They were two simple iron doors that looked very mottled, probably because they were severely rusted, and there were some red iron filings falling on the ground. The iron door glowed with a cold light and was at least ten centimeters thick. As for the height, it was naturally the same as the passage opening. However, Ji Xiaoyan was guessing in his mind how many people would usually work together to open or close the door.
It was just a guess, but Ji Xiaoyan had no chance to verify it.
Go in along the entrance of the passage and walk on the cement floor about ten meters away. Then Ji Xiaoyan sees some shimmering lights starting to appear on both sides of the ground. The further he goes inside, the brighter the light. The stronger. The ground also gradually began to change. I don't know when it turned into a somewhat transparent material with a slight blue light. Continuing to walk down, two or three steps began to appear. After walking along the steps for a long time, Ji Xiaoyan faintly heard some voices.
Always walking down the passage, Ji Xiaoyan looked at the glowing things on the surrounding walls curiously, while tapping the pavement under his feet. After turning a few corners, he finally I saw an extremely spacious space. That was a place that could only exist in Ji Xiaoyan's fantasy and imagination! After glancing at the carved iron door and past the deep red gauze curtain with yellow patterns, Ji Xiaoyan could see at a glance those things on the top of the space that were twinkling and shining like stars. There is also artificial deep blue light, which makes people feel like falling into the starry sky. There are some platform-like places carved along the rock wall, connected by stairs, stone ladders or rope ladders. Each platform is also surrounded by some shining things. .
The whole space looks like a room. There were five exits around with iron doors and gauze curtains just like the place where Ji Xiaoyan came in. As for where they led to, she wasn't quite sure. In the middle of this underground room is a huge pit dug five or six meters deep. The pit is covered with a layer of light green carpet. Surrounding the huge pit are circular stairs extending upward layer by layer. However, those stairs are now full of people.
"What is this place for?" Ji Xiaoyan communicated with Yu Qisi in a low voice without understanding.
"It looks like it should be a stage or something." Yu Qisi also whispered to Ji Xiaoyan a little uncontrollably, "It's just that it's a bit strange that this stage is set up underground."
"I think this is not as simple as a stage," Lu Wu held his arm still wrapped in gauze, thought for a while and said to Ji Xiaoyan and Yu Qisi, "I don't think the environment here is suitable for watching a show. Above."
< br>"How about asking?" Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but look at the men in military uniforms who were only two or three steps away from them, and discussed with Yu Qisi in a low voice, "Since they all agreed to take us Come in, what do you want to do here? If we ask them, they will tell you, right? They won't bring us all in, and let us slowly guess and figure it out." If it is really that perverted, Ji Xiaoyan was really speechless. Yu Qisi nodded, took over the job directly, walked towards the men in military uniforms, and asked in a low voice. Ji Xiaoyan and Lu Wu stretched their ears to listen, but they didn't expect that before they had time to hear any useful information, they heard the voices in the room suddenly boiling with excitement. Then I saw people on the stairs one after another standing up and cheering, and many people appeared on the stone platforms on the walls.
“It seemed to be very exciting. Is there any big shot showing up?" Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but scratch his head. She probed in the direction of the giant pit, then glanced at the men in military uniforms who were talking to Yu Qisi. She saw one of them smiling at her with a kind face and nodded again. Xiaoyan immediately took a few steps towards the direction of the giant pit. This means that she agreed to go and take a look. If she didn't go, she would definitely be killed by curiosity.
At this moment, a man wearing black clothes and a red tie tied around his neck appeared in the center of the giant pit. The man stepped gracefully into the center of the giant pit. He first nodded slightly to the crowd around him, then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Then Ji Xiaoyan heard the enlarged man's voice: "Okay, thank you all for coming! After we rest for half an hour, the next game will start immediately! Of course, we still need to talk nonsense before the start. Again, betting time in the fighting ring is over! Everyone, keep your bets in case you go back to redeem your bets. The black market will open in an hour, so the next game will be the last game of the day, and there is still a distinguished guest who has not yet placed a bet. If you make a bet, don’t regret it when you look back.”
As soon as the words came out, cheers and laughter surged up like a tide, and then disappeared again under the man's gesture. "Okay, then please keep your eyes open and watch the next game!" The man in the middle of the pit spread his hands, pointed to the left and right, and shouted loudly: "Here, we are invited. Come on, the contestants!”
“Oh oh oh oh!” As the man in the middle of the pit left, the scene erupted in even more excited cheers.
A moment later, Ji Xiaoyan saw the two so-called "players". Coming out from Ji Xiaoyan's left hand side was a tall man wrapped in a plain black robe. He held a big knife in his hand. The blade was very sharp. Even though Ji Xiaoyan was so far away, he could still feel the sharp edge of the knife. Waves of coldness radiated out. The man in black robe walked to the middle of the huge pit. After looking around coldly for a few times, he took off his robe and threw it directly to the ground. Only then did Ji Xiaoyan see his true appearance. This man is about two meters tall, with very strong muscles. The muscles on his body are bulging, making him look very powerful. However, there are many healed wounds and scars on his body, which makes it look a bit regrettable to have such a good figure.
As for the appearance of the man! Ji Xiaoyan really couldn't tell, who made her so far away! I really can’t see clearly!
After the man stood in the middle of the pit for a minute, Ji Xiaoyan heard a sound similar to the opening of an iron cage. A moment later, he saw a dark iron railing on the wall of the pit on the left slowly being pulled open. He got up, and a mutant beast with a golden body, a few black patterns, and a long horn on the top of his head emerged from the inside.
"A duel between man and beast?" Ji Xiaoyan guessed it without any surprise and looked at Yu Qisi and the men in military uniforms who had walked near her again.
"Yes!" Yu Qisi's expression seemed a little bad. After nodding, he said to Ji Xiaoyan: "This is how you make a fortune in Longcheng. Here. It is the largest black market in the entire continent. It can also be said to be the most dangerous and safe place in the entire continent. "
"What do you mean?" Ji Xiaoyan didn't understand.
“Here, as long as you have money, you can buy anything. There are countless black transactions in the underground. As long as you set a price, kill and set fire, someone will take over and do any task! So, basically, in The people here are not good people, I don’t know. Anyone we meet on the road is a desperado stained with blood. But at the same time, it is for this reason that this place has the most severe and powerful police force. "Military management and protection." Yu Qisi looked at the record with some hesitation. Xiaoyan then sighed and said with some dissatisfaction: "I don't know why the vegetarian young master must come here to stay. In fact, this place is not suitable for you, Miss Xiaoyan. You shouldn't know these things. Look now Below is the human-animal fighting game that is held here every day. The contestant can only fight the mutant beast alone with a cold weapon. If he wins, he will get a lot of money and reputation. However, if If you lose, there is only one ending.”
Apart from death, there is no other ending.
"Why don't they just save money and go out to hunt mutant beasts?" Ji Xiaoyan couldn't understand this. Instead of dueling a mutated beast alone, it would be better for a group of people to hunt together. Wouldn't that be safer? Moreover, you can choose your own weapons.
