1127 Entering the interior of the passageway
Following the appearance of Tang Zhen’s group, the number of unaffiliated cultivators gathered in the open space in front of the tower increased. The sounds of discussion also rose and fell.
Due to the cultivators of loucheng who were waiting for them, these wild cultivators who were making a living nearby did not dare to be too presumptuous. After all, they were weak and were no match for the cultivators of loucheng.
However, after seeing the mysterious passage near the tower, everyone was full of curiosity about the reason why they were gathered!
Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait for long before a cultivator from Lou Cheng stood up and flew into the air.
Under the respectful and envious gazes of the wild cultivators, this peak-level Lord cultivator, who was close to level 9, glanced around with a cold and sharp gaze. Then, he said in a clear voice,”The reason why Spirit Rock City has gathered all of you here is to ask for your help to enter the tunnel and build a defensive structure to prevent the monsters from coming out and harming people!
you may not know this, but there are a lot of monsters inside the tunnel. Each of them is extremely fierce. Last time, our Spirit Rock City paid a heavy price to resist these monsters. Thousands of cultivators were injured and sacrificed!
It’s because of our Spirit Rock city’s selfless sacrifice that these monsters are unable to wreak havoc and endanger the safety of everyone and your families!”
The elder of Spirit Rock City glanced at the dense crowd of wild cultivators and saw that they were all cold and indifferent. He took a deep breath and continued, ” in order to ensure that our home will not be destroyed by the monsters, this matter must be done as soon as possible. In order to not let you suffer losses, we will also pay the corresponding reward, which is equivalent to hiring you!
When some of the wild cultivators heard this, their faces revealed looks of satisfaction. They did not want to work for Spirit Rock City for free, so it would be best if they could be paid!
At the same time, there were many wild cultivators who looked worried. They thought that even the cultivators of Spirit Rock City had suffered such heavy casualties when facing the monsters. Wouldn’t the wild cultivators whose cultivation levels were far lower than theirs suffer even more losses?
Could it be that the purpose of Spirit Rock City hiring them was to act as cannon fodder to exhaust the monsters?
After thinking of this, the wild cultivators immediately felt conflicted. They did not want to die in vain.
However, because they were alone and were closely guarded by the cultivators of Spirit Rock City, they had no chance to leave this place. So, even though they were anxious, they could only silently endure and hope to find a chance to escape.
Among the many wild cultivators present, there were many who had this idea, especially the survivors of the savage war zone, who couldn’t wait to leave this place immediately.
They didn’t want to enter this tunnel that had appeared out of nowhere. They didn’t want to risk their lives.
Spirit Rock City seemed to have noticed this as well, so they did not give the cultivators too much time to think. One by one, the cultivators in the tower City walked out and began to call out to the wild cultivators to follow them.
Forced by the cultivators of the surrounding buildings, the Rogue cultivators could only brace themselves and follow them, even though they were unwilling to give up. They quickly approached the location of the passage.
When they passed by a location, some Lou city residents even gave them tools like pickaxes. It was obvious that they were going to use them as coolies!
The wild cultivators looked at the tools in their hands with conflicted expressions. They hesitated whether to throw them away or not, then left with a flick of their sleeves.
don’t think too much about it. Let’s just go in obediently. If we anger the cultivators of Spirit Rock City, they will definitely not let us off easily!
An old wild cultivator advised the person beside him. Then, he carried the pickaxe on his shoulder and followed them with an indifferent expression. He didn’t seem to be angry about this matter.
The old cultivator who had experienced countless ups and downs in his life had learned to adapt to the situation and not fight against fate. Perhaps he had once, but after he had been beaten to a pulp, he had learned to follow his fate. Otherwise, he might not have been able to live to this day.
After seeing the old cultivator’s performance, the indignant wild cultivators all lowered their heads and sighed. They resigned themselves to their fate and continued to follow the crowd.
Tang Zhen followed closely behind. He took a shovel from a Lou city resident and looked around while walking.
He found that there were many high-level cultivators hidden among the wild cultivators, but they all used various methods to hide their cultivation. At this time, they were also moving forward with the crowd.
With their skills, they could definitely escape the pursuit of the cultivators of Spirit Rock City. However, they did not do so. It was obvious that they had other plans.
Spirit Rock City had also realized this, but they did not expose them. Instead, they allowed these people with ill intentions to enter the tunnel.
In fact, Spirit Rock City was also very helpless. Once these hidden high-level cultivators were caught, it would inevitably cause a great chaos, and the wild cultivators they had gathered with great difficulty would escape in the chaos.
Therefore, even though they knew that there were many wild cultivators here, they pretended not to see anything. After all, once these guys entered the passage, they would have to see if Spirit Rock City agreed to leave!
As an eighth-grade city, it controlled an area of a thousand miles. There was a King-level cultivator in the city, and a large number of Lord-level cultivators. They could completely annihilate the enemy who had ill intentions!
Before they knew it, the crowd had already reached the front of the passage. The cultivator from Spirit Rock City took the lead and stepped into the passage.
There was a hint of hesitation in the expressions of the wild cultivators behind him. After all, as wild cultivators, they had no access to matters related to the other world, so they subconsciously resisted.
“Hurry up and leave, don’t dawdle!”
The cultivators of Spirit Rock City who were guarding the entrance of the passage growled in a low voice. They showed an impatient expression and pushed the unaffiliated cultivators who were not moving forward into the passage.
After the first wild cultivator entered the passage, it seemed that nothing unusual happened. The other wild cultivators were less apprehensive and followed him in one after another.
The instant Tang Zhen passed through the tunnel, he felt as though his body had been stretched endlessly. However, this feeling disappeared in an instant. Soon after, he discovered that he had arrived in a desolate world.
The sky was covered with thick dark clouds, making the world look gray. A super ruin was hidden in the thick fog. Although it was in ruins, one could still imagine the magnificent scene of the past!
Although the ruins appeared to be quiet, Tang Zhen could sense that there were a large number of monsters hiding in the corners. They were using cold and cruel eyes to continuously size up the outsiders.
Looking back, Tang Zhen found that there were many wild cultivators coming in one after another, but many of them were not in the group just now. They had obviously been randomly sent here.
Even the cultivator from Spirit Rock City who had led the way had disappeared. Who knew where he had been teleported to?
However, there were dozens of cultivators from Spirit Rock City waiting there. They looked warily at the ruins in front of them, and their faces were filled with fatigue.
In front of the cultivators of Spirit Rock City, there were some hideous monsters lying on the ground. They seemed to have been dead for a long time!
Tang Zhen swept his gaze over the corpses of those monsters and discovered that their appearances were extremely malevolent. All of them had thick and heavy shells, just like an enlarged version of insects. They possessed extraordinary killing power!
The cultivators of Spirit Rock City had paid a heavy price in order to stop the insect monsters. More than a dozen broken cultivators ‘corpses were placed on the ground at the side, and it was a terrible sight.
To Spirit Rock City, the sudden appearance of this mysterious passage had always brought them both pain and joy!
