Chapter 229: Double Enemies on a Narrow Road (Part 1)
When the Feili team got back on the road, they had already replaced three carriages. Zhou Weiqing specially went to a nearby town to find them. In fact, considering the size of the eight of them, a large carriage would be enough. But after all, there were four injured people here, so Zhou Weiqing simply spent a lot of money to buy three vehicles. Crow, the super-weight, and Shangguan Bing'er were in one car, and the remaining two cars were for three people each. Zhou Weiqing and Ye Paopao took care of the two wounded people respectively, so that they could get enough food on the way to Zhongtian City. Adequate training will make the injury heal faster.
At this time, Zhou Weiqing missed Ming Hua a little. If she, a Dzi Jewel Master with life attributes, assisted in the treatment, everyone's injuries would definitely heal faster.
Although each of the carriages that everyone transferred to was pulled by four tall horses, the speed of the journey was still slower than that of riding horses on their own. By the time they arrived at Zhongtian City, it was already fifteen days later, and at this time, there were only five days left before the start of the Dzi Bead Competition.
In the distance, a grand canyon appeared in front, and there were obviously more pedestrians passing by. According to the coachman, Zhongtian City was about to arrive.
Lin Tianao ordered the coachmen to stop on the side of the road and let everyone get off the carriage.
"Boss, aren't we almost at Zhongtian City? Wouldn't it be the same if we rested there?" Zui Bao asked with some confusion.
Lin Tianao smiled slightly and said: "Look up, I want to let you know where Tianzhu Island is."
Everyone then looked forward intently. When they looked at it, a strong sense of shock and indescribable pressure suddenly hit their faces.
They were on the official road at this time. From their position, they could clearly see that about dozens of miles away, extremely thick giant stone pillars rose into the sky and disappeared into the clouds. Just by visual inspection, it is impossible to tell how huge these stone pillars are, but the sight of all sixteen huge stone pillars towering into the sky still filled everyone's hearts with shock. Even the little white tiger and the fat cat poked their heads out from Zhou Weiqing's arms to look at the magnificent scene, with a faint chill flashing in their eyes.
“That is Zhongtian Mountain, the most iconic place in the entire Zhongtian Empire. Within the sixteen pillars of Zhongtian Mountain is the entire Zhongtian City, and on the top of these sixteen pillars stands the , is the Tianzhu Island where the Vast Palace is located. The Zhongtian Empire has always been proud of it as the center of the mainland. They are indeed proud of it, and this is the only place on the mainland where such a wonder is located.”
"It's so shocking. These dozen huge stone pillars really seem to be connected to the sky and the earth. It's no exaggeration to call them Tianzhu." Xiaosi praised.
Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but nod as he stood there. It's no wonder that the Zhongtian Empire has become the most powerful country in the mainland. Whether it is Tianzhu Island or Zhongtian City in the middle of Zhongtian Mountain, it can be said to be the most bizarre place in the world. For this time, the Zhongtian Empire He was looking forward to the Pearl Competition more and more. He really wanted to enter this battle right away. No wonder everyone wanted to get into the top four in the competition. yes! Even if there is no reward, who wouldn’t want to go to Tianzhu Island to see it? What a strange sight that would be?
Lin Tianyao said calmly: "We are about to arrive at Zhongtian City, and there are only a few days left before the Dzi Bead Competition. From now on, I announce that Zhou Weiqing will be the acting captain, and all competition matters will be handled by him. Decision."
Zhou Weiqing looked at Lin Tianao, who nodded to him and gave him an encouraging look.
Zui Bao said: "Boss, this is not necessary. Even if your injury is not healed, there is no problem in commanding everyone!"
Lin Tianao shook his head and said: "No, Wei Qing is now Commander, he and Miss Bing'er are the only ones who know the best. I will assist them, but I believe that he will never do anything he is not sure about. It is very suitable for him to act as the captain for the time being."
After more than ten days of training, everyone's physical condition has improved a lot. However, the previous injuries were serious after all. They almost all injured their internal organs. Even if the body of the Heavenly Jewel Master is far beyond that of ordinary people, it is not that short. It can be recovered within time.
Lin Tianao said to Zhou Weiqing: "The Dzi Bead Competition is held every three days, so that the contestants can get enough rest between the two rounds. Judging from our current situation, it will take at least ten more. It will take more than 10 days to recover. Xiaoyan and Zuibao are in more serious condition and will take longer. Therefore, you must lead everyone through at least the first two rounds of competition. I hope I can use your help. Luck, don’t let us meet those strong teams too early.”
Zhou Weiqing nodded and said: “There is no point in promising you anything now, but I will do my best. Let’s go. Let's go to the city. Find a place to stay in Zhongtian City, which will also allow you to recover better." Although he has been traveling for more than ten days, it can be said that Zhou Weiqing has been practicing the most diligently. After taking the initiative to take charge, he suddenly felt extremely heavy pressure on his shoulders. Even though his Heavenly Power cultivation level has been upgraded to the first level of Heavenly Power, he is still only a three-jeweled Heavenly Jewel Master. It can be seen from the strength of the contestants from the Dzi Bead Academy that this Dzi Bead Competition is at least a stage for four-bead and five-bead level Dzi Bead Masters, and there will definitely be no shortage of strong ones. Although it is just a matter of sharpening one's skills in battle, it is also good to practice hard and improve one's strength.
As the saying goes, Wangshan is a dead horse. Although they had seen that they were very close to Zhongtian City before, it was already evening when they arrived at Zhongtian City.
Only when you really get up close can you see how huge the sixteen thick stone pillars are, each one probably measuring thousands of meters in circumference. The city wall of Zhongtian City was also built based on these sixteen huge sky pillars. There is no need to guess, everyone knows that this must be the largest city in the mainland. When you get closer, you can barely see the border. Zhou Weiqing was even sure that even the entire Tiangong Empire was not as huge as Zhongtian City, which covered an area of 5,000 square kilometers.
Farming and other agriculture in other cities are generally outside the city, but this Zhongtian City is so big that all industry and agriculture are actually within the city. I don't know how much money it cost to build the thick outer city wall alone. There is no doubt that Zhongtian City itself is like a small country. Unfortunately, there are clouds and fog above Zhongtian City, and the sunlight can only shine into the city from the side, but it still cannot be seen by people in the sky above the Pearl Island.
After entering the Zhongtian City, it was not until dark that everyone arrived at the inner city of Zhongtian City. The inner city is at the core of Zhongtian City. This inner city alone is much larger than Feili City, the capital of the Feili Empire. .
By the time the Feili team was completely settled, it was already midnight.
As the acting captain of Feili Team, Zhou Weiqing chose an inconspicuous hotel in the inner city of Zhongtian City as their resting place. The reason for this decision was not to save money, but to be quiet. There is no doubt that the Dzi Bead Competition is about to begin, and the entire Zhongtian City will become lively. Young and powerful men from many countries have come here, and they are all rivals. If they encounter each other, some friction will inevitably occur. Now that Lin Tianao and the others are seriously injured, it is not suitable for any conflict to occur at this time. Therefore, Zhou Weiqing would rather choose an ordinary hotel so that the injured could have a better rest. Anyway, there are still five days left before registration for the competition.
There was no words all night, and early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Tianao called everyone to his room. He was the only one who had participated in the Dzi Bead Competition. It was time to tell everyone about the rules and precautions of the Dzi Bead Competition, especially Zhou Weiqing, the acting captain.
Lin Tianao looked at his teammates sitting around him and said seriously: "The Dzi Bead Competition is about to begin. Xiaoyan, Xiaosi, and Zuibao, in the first two rounds after the start of the competition, There is no need for you to show up. My injuries are relatively minor and I will join the competition with Weiqing. Of course, I will try my best to prevent my injuries from getting worse."
"There are more than thirty people on the mainland. Countries vary in size, and there are almost twenty countries that can recruit at least five young Dzi Bead Masters to participate. The Dzi Bead Competition is divided into two stages, the preliminaries and the finals. The national teams will be divided into four groups by drawing lots, and each group will be seeded by the countries supported by the four major holy lands except Tianxie Cult. Of course, the Haobao Palace announced that the top four from the previous session would be the four seeded teams. . But in fact, for many years, these top four have been monopolized by teams supported by Holy Land. The preliminaries are in a round-robin format, which means that each team in a group has to compete with all other teams. .”
"In the preliminaries, the two teams with the best records in each group advance to the finals, which are the quarterfinals of the competition, and then fight against each other to determine the top four. The decisive battle of the top four will be held on Tianzhu Island."
< br>Zhou Weiqing said: "It sounds like this competition system is quite simple."
Lin Tianao smiled calmly and said: "It is indeed simple, but it is also extremely difficult. The seed teams in each group have won the best competition in the past. Zhongdu qualified as the first in the group, and other countries could only fight for the second place in this group. In the last year, we went through all kinds of hardships and barely entered the second place with two seniors being disabled. round, but was defeated in the quarterfinals without any suspense. If you want to steadily enter the second round, you must not lose a game against other opponents in the group stage.”
Zhou Weiqing's heart moved, "You mean, we have to give up the match against the seeded teams in the group stage?"
