Chapter 47 Seven Blood Pupils (Second Update)

In August, it is summer.

Although the scorching sun in the sky still wantonly blends its own body temperature into the wind, with the help of the flow of the wind, the heat permeates the earth, but with the change of solar terms, the heat inevitably comes to an end.

In the end, it can only look at the earth helplessly in the sky, waiting for the swan geese to come, the black bird to return, and the next solar term Bailu to appear.

But compared to the people on the earth, the position of the sun enables it to see the island surrounded by the endless sea more clearly while waiting.

The entire Nanhuang Continent is actually just an island.

It looks like a slanted ellipse, and inside it is blocked by a vast mountain range that looks like a crouching dragon from north to south, blocking the west from the east.

This mountain range is called the Truth Mountain Range.

The western part of the mountain range fully occupies [-]% of the entire Nanhuang Continent, which is the largest restricted area in Nanhuang Continent, named Huangjin.

It is filled with a dark jungle, and ancient ruins are buried everywhere. It is surrounded by mist all the year round, and there are many strange beasts, countless strange things, and extremely rich heterogeneity.

As for the eastern part of the mountain range, which occupies [-]% of the entire Southern Huangzhou, it is the habitat of the human race.

But here, there is an extremely special position.It is located in the northern part of the Truth Mountains, where it borders the sea.

This place is connected to the Phoenix Forbidden City in the west, the human race area in the east, the endless sea in the north, and the truth mountain range that spreads to the other end in the south.

This kind of landform makes it the largest port in the entire South Huangzhou. There is an endless stream of huge freighters on weekdays. Some come from other nearby islands for business, and some come from... Wanggu Continent.

As such a special and important strategic place, it is naturally not something that ordinary forces can grasp, and this place is where the mountain gate of Seven Blood Eyes is located.

From a distance, the city where the port is located is divided into seven large areas, and the port is only one of them. The city composed of these seven areas is astonishingly vast and can be called a majestic city.

This is the main city of Seven Blood Eyes.

Beside it, there are seven peaks at the northern end of the Truth Mountain Range, each of which has a hundred-foot-sized giant eye statue with different colors, but all of them are sharp.

Whether it is day or night, the glaring light will never dissipate, forming a large formation, covering all directions.

These seven giant eyes, looking down at the earth, are like the pupils of giant beasts, with a sense of sternness and ice-coldness, so that everyone will be shocked when they see it.

This is also the origin of the name Seven Blood Eyes.

The main city where the port is located, together with these seven peaks, is the whole picture of the Seven Blood Pupils Mountain Gate.

Among them, the seventh peak near the main city and the first peak in the distance are the tallest, like two giants standing here, making Xiao Xiao and many forces in Nanhuangzhou afraid.

After all, in Nanhuang Continent, even in the [-]% area where humans live, there are great dangers.

The wilderness is filled with heterogeneity, and there are all kinds of strange beasts and desperate murderers lurking.

Although alien beasts are not as ferocious as the restricted area, for most human races, leaving the city, once encountered, often means life and death crisis, especially when encountering desperadoes... In the wilderness without much order, it may be more difficult than Death is worse.

Therefore, a liveable city is a dream for most human races.

And the main city of the Seven Blood Pupils is well-known in the entire Nanhuang Continent, not only because of its prosperity, but also because of the shroud of the Seven Blood Pupils formation, which can greatly isolate the heterogeneity, making people's life expectancy greatly exceed outside world.

So being able to enter the Seven Blood Eyes is the dream of too many people.

Countless people are eager to come, and countless people don't want to leave after coming. It seems that they can pursue their dreams here, but... the rules of the main city of Seven Blood Eyes are extremely strict.

It was like an invisible whip, lashing at everyone who came.

The name of this whip is... survival of the fittest.

At this moment, in the main city of Seven Blood Pupils Port, in the central area, three huge teleportation arrays are constantly shining.

They are arranged in the shape of finished products, and there is an endless stream of people coming.

Among them, in the third teleportation array, with the flicker of light, the figure of a young man appeared from inside.

The upper body of the young man was a dark leather jacket, and he was wearing baggy trousers, the trousers were tied with straw ropes, filled with dried blood, his hair was messy, and his face was also dirty.

But the eyes are extremely bright, like stars.

As soon as he appeared, he heard the bustling noise and the sound of waves, and the hot and humid wind blowing over his body, making him feel sticky.

All of this turned into a strong sense of strangeness, which surfaced in the boy's body and mind.

The young man was Xu Qing who was teleported from Antler City.

"Reached……"

After Xu Qing was teleported here, his head felt a little swollen and painful. At this moment, he was rubbing the center of his brows. He didn't stay in the formation for long. When he walked out quickly, he raised his head and swept around.

Everything here is in order.

A large number of guards in black armor are patrolling and guarding. Outside each teleportation formation, there is a long dragon-like team. There are all kinds of people in it, including men and women. in it.

They are all people who have arrived by teleportation, and each face has a desire to live in this city, and obviously the teleportation fee to come here is not low, so the desire in their expressions is even stronger.

After sweeping around, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, followed the crowd, and walked towards the outside world.

The teleportation array here is different from that of Antler City, and it needs to be reviewed when leaving. During this queue review, Xu Qing looked up at the surrounding environment. From here, he could see the dark sea in the distance.

At the other end of the mountain range, under the setting sun, there are seven peaks that are extremely obvious, especially the seven giant-eyed statues above. The waves that radiate seem to be able to connect the sky, making the sky form a huge gap in the area of ​​​​the seven peaks. swirl.

In the vortex, surrounded by clouds, there seems to be some kind of huge fierce beast faintly, and the rare feathers and horns exposed in the wandering reveal a sacred meaning that shocks all directions.

This scene shocked Xu Qing.

It wasn't until the person in front of him checked and left with the issued jade slips, and when it was his turn, Xu Qing took a deep breath and looked away.

"Show us the directions, and answer why you came here." In front of Xu Qing, there was a desk, behind which sat two people, a man and a woman.

The man was very handsome, wearing a gray robe, with his eyes closed at the moment, as if he was resting, but the spiritual energy fluctuations on his body were very strong.

The woman is in a gray Taoist robe, she is not very old, she looks about eighteen or nineteen years old, her small face is delicate, and her skin is fair.

The eyes are very energetic, like starlight, it is easy for people to immerse themselves in it.

It was that woman who spoke to Xu Qing.

She raised her head and glanced at Xu Qing strangely, not paying attention to the dirt on Xu Qing's body and face.

Obviously, she has seen too many scavengers like Xu Qing here. At this moment, she took out a jade slip while speaking, as if waiting for an answer and record it.

Xu Qing felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy on the opponent's body. The fluctuation was not strong, but for some reason it gave him a very clear sense of danger.

But he weighed it up and felt that if it was a life-and-death duel, he was sure to kill the opponent, so he calmly took out the token from his leather bag and handed it over.

"Huh?" There was a hint of surprise in the woman's eyes, she took the token and checked it, and when she handed it back to Xu Qing, her expression was no longer indifferent, but she gave him a deep look.

"It turns out that you are the junior brother who is going to worship the sect. I wish you a happy... in Qixuetong."

The other party's words were a little strange, Xu Qing took the token after paying attention, and looked at the jade slip in the other party's hand.

"You don't need the contribution jade slips from ordinary people here, you just need to hold the token, this is your qualification. In addition, I remind you that you must complete the entry test as soon as possible, and adapt to the life of Qixuetong as soon as possible..."

After the woman finished speaking, she ignored Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was thoughtful, and after leaving the inspection area, he noticed the people queuing up behind him, and they all looked at him with a little envy in their eyes.

This made Xu Qing bow his head and take a deep look at the token in his hand.

After he left, the man with closed eyes beside the woman opened his eyes and smiled.

"Why do you suddenly have a kind heart, bless the newcomers, and remind you?"

"He is holding the token of my Seventh Peak. Although it is white, it is difficult for anyone to say in the future. A blessing and a reminder will not cost my contribution points, but once this person rises, it will be considered a good fortune for me. "

The woman opened her mouth lightly, beckoning the next person to come over and examine.

"Where will there be so many futures? This person looks like a scavenger at first glance. He is holding a white token. It is not too good to think about it. Whether he can pass the entry test and obtain the status of a disciple is still a matter of opinion. Even if he is obtained, every day With the payment of thirty spirit coins and expensive cultivation resources, he bet that he won't survive for two months, and he will either be expelled, or he will be gone with a bang."

The man raised his hand and clenched his fist, then stretched it out quickly, making a gesture.

Their words were very soft, and Xu Qing, who was far away, didn't hear them.

At this moment, he has left the teleportation area and walked into the city.

As he walked in, Xu Qing's heart slowly stirred up waves.

What caught his eyes was unprecedented prosperity and prosperity.

Under the afterglow, any building here is as gorgeous as the City Lord's Mansion in the city where he used to be.

The blue bricks and green plants that can be seen everywhere also make this place extremely clean.

There are even more people in the city, and the stream is endless. Everyone's clothes are very clean, mostly silk and satin, and hemp is rare, but their expressions are full of indifference and they move in a hurry.

At this moment, the setting sun was approaching dusk, and thousands of houses on both sides of the street could be seen lit up. The brightness of the earth under the light seemed to be no different from that of the day, except that the houses everywhere were very quiet, and there was no sound coming out.

On a small river in the distance, there is also a small boat, on which a woman in Taoist robes and a veil is throwing pills into the river, causing countless fish in the river to surround them, jumping up from time to time, appearing in the afterglow. Ripples.

Many young men on the bank jumped into the river one by one, competing with the fish for the elixir, it was very strange.

All this made Xu Qing unfamiliar, but also wary.

He felt that this city was not the same as the scavengers' camp, nor was it the same as the small town where the slums he lived in were different.

But there is also the same place...

On the streets of this city, Xu Qing would always smell a faint familiar smell.

The smell is very slight, and if Xu Qing hadn't been used to the slums and scavenger camps, it would have been difficult to smell it so keenly.

It was the smell of blood, the same as in slums and scavenger camps.

After a long while, Xu Qing took a deep look at the city, feeling even more vigilant in his heart.

While pondering, he was walking on the road, not in the middle of the road, but in the dark at the edge, this is Xu Qing's habit.

At this moment, he was going to find an inn to rest. The smell of blood here made him not want to stay on the street.

As for the source of the blood, Xu Qing didn't want to find out either. He knew that what he had to do now was to complete the entry test as soon as possible and enter the seven blood pupils, so as to ease the pursuit of the Vajra Sect.

At this moment in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun began to dim slowly. Xu Qing, who hadn't found a suitable place yet, looked around and his eyes gradually became sharper.

As the sky was getting darker, the whole city became more and more silent, and the crowds on the road also followed the weather and walked more hurriedly.

Thousands of households, although there are still lights, but the doors of each household are closed, and the interior is dead silent.

The houses are like this, so are the shops, only a few are still open, but there are no customers there.

Until the last ray of the setting sun in the distance disappeared, and there was no one in the whole street.

All this made Xu Qing squint his eyes, and walked a few steps quickly in the dark, looking around, looking for the inn.

Time passed, after a stick of incense, Xu Qing finally saw an open inn in the distance, and was about to pass by, but at this moment, he suddenly looked into the distance.

On the dark and empty street in the distance, a figure was running away at high speed, followed by seven or eight big men, grinning and chasing after him.

"Want to run? Let me see where you can run!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen someone so courageous, dare to take the lead in attacking the contributors we fancy!"

Xu Qing glanced coldly, and the one running ahead was a woman who seemed to be injured, her steps were a little staggering, her hair was loose, and she could barely see a pretty face with a fierce face.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze. This matter had nothing to do with him, so he ignored it and walked towards the opened inn.

At the same time, the woman fleeing in the distance also saw Xu Qing, her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly spoke loudly.

"I got the contribution point, why are you still waiting here to respond, run away."

In Xu Qing's eyes, there was a condensed coldness, and he looked at the woman who said such a clumsy trick.

Being swept away by Xu Qing's gaze, the woman couldn't help but tremble, feeling as if her whole body was plunged into the cold winter, her eyes shrank, her heart trembled wildly, her back was covered in cold sweat, and her strong sense of crisis even surpassed that of the person behind her. hunt down.

She secretly thought that something was wrong, but she couldn't take back the words she said, so she could only grit her teeth and change direction to escape quickly.
