Chapter 257 - Safe Zone
Chapter 257: Safe Zone
“Demon Beast gathering point? What does that mean?” turning around, Gu Xi asked with some doubt.
Su Lian giggled and explained softly, “It looks like this is young master Gu’s first time participating in the spirit-chasing grand competition, right?”
Gu Xi nodded. There was nothing to hide.
“The gathering point of the demon beasts is literally what it means.”
“In this planar battlefield, there are many large and small regions. I don’t know why, but there will always be a large number of demon beasts gathering in some regions.”
“The top ten sects have such high points because they have found the gathering point of the demon beasts. You should know that this is much faster than you finding the demon beasts one by one.”
Gu Xi frowned slightly, but his heart was even more confused.
According to Pei Tai’an, this plane battlefield should be extremely vast. How did Su Lian and the others know about these so-called gathering points?
As if she had seen through Gu Xi’s thoughts, Su Lian covered her mouth and laughed softly. She continued, “It’s natural that you don’t know about this since it’s your first time participating in the competition. Many sects, including our Liuli Sect, have participated in the Spirit-chasing Competition for many years. Although we haven’t fully understood the entire plane battlefield, we still have some understanding of some of the regions.”
As soon as he said this, Gu Xi came to a sudden realization.
To put it bluntly, the more he came, the more familiar he became. As a result, the last bit of doubt Gu Xi had toward Su Lian had disappeared.
The points in the top ten were rising like wildfire. If he did not think of a way to earn points, he would soon be left far behind.
Perhaps cooperating with Su Lian was a good choice.
......
To be more precise, this was the only solution Gu Xi could think of.
If he continued to wander around the planar battlefield like a headless fly, not only would he not be able to win the championship, he might not even be able to find Liu Qingqing and the others.
“Among the countless participants, there are many who are more talented than me. I’m very curious, why are you looking for me to work with you?”
Gu Xi did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked straight into Su Lian’s fox-like eyes.
“It’s very simple... I’m very curious about you.” Su Lian’s red lips curled slightly. She did not hide her thoughts at all. “A disciple of the Medicine King Valley actually dared to oppose the people of the Hehuan Sect in public. He even killed one of their disciples without mercy.”
“Moreover, according to what I know, there has never been a person like you in the Medicine King Valley. Or perhaps... You are not a person of the Medicine King Valley at all?”
“Who... are you exactly?” Su Lian also did not want to be outdone as she looked straight into Gu Xi’s eyes and asked.
Gu Xi’s expression did not change. He said in a deep voice, “Whether I am a disciple of the Medicine King Valley or not does not matter to you. I have agreed to the cooperation that you proposed just now.”
Gu Xi did not want to discuss this topic with Su Lian.
Just as Su Lian had said, he was indeed not considered a disciple of the Medicine King Valley. This matter would not be a big deal even if it was dug out by someone with intentions. However, if someone continued to explore, they would discover that there were many suspicious points on him.
If they dug out that he did not belong to this continent, then it would be difficult to handle.
At that time, forget about returning to the eastern continent, even leaving this place would be a problem.
At the same time, Gu Xi could not help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that she would attract so many people’s attention, he would not have bothered with the people from the Hehuan Sect at that time.
Seeing that Gu Xi did not want to answer, Su Lian did not continue to ask. Even if Gu Xi did not say anything, she had her own way of investigating.
The two of them walked together. Along the way, the two of them killed all the demon beasts they encountered and obtained a lot of points.
Of course, the Medicine King Valley still did not rank in the top ten.
However, Gu Xi was not in a hurry. In any case, there was still time.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened. The two of them continued their journey without stopping. Soon, a small town appeared in their sight.
Seeing this, Gu Xi’s expression showed some surprise.
He had never thought that there would be such a perfect town in this plane battlefield. Logically speaking, everything here should have been destroyed in an instant during the ancient war.
The two of them soon arrived outside the small town. As far as the eye could see, the small town was brightly lit, and the streets were bustling with people.
It was no different from the small towns in the outside world.
“This small town was built by the Daluo Sect so that the participants here could have a place to rest. Except for the service staff here, the rest of the participants are all participants in this Spirit-chasing Competition.”
“In this vast planar battlefield, there are no less than ten similar small towns.”
“Let me remind you, this small town is also known as the safe zone. As long as you are a participant here, you must abide by the rules of this place. That means you can not kill at will here.”
“In short, you cannot shed blood here. Once you violate the rules, you will be expelled from the competition by the people of the Daluo Sect stationed here. Moreover, the sect you are from will not be able to participate in the competition for the rest of your life. You will also be looked down upon by the other sects.”
As the two of them walked on the street, Su Lian explained to Gu Xi.
“This Daluo Sect is really generous,” Gu Xi said lightly and glanced at the people around him.
These people had obviously recognized Su Lian’s identity. The crowded street parted to give way to her. Gu Xi benefited from this.
“It seems that you are quite popular here.” Gu Xi suddenly spoke.
Su Lian was slightly startled when she heard this. A smile immediately surged onto her pretty face as she said, “That is only natural. A beauty is always welcomed wherever she goes.”
Gu Xi did not reply.
Su Lian could indeed be considered a femme fatale. It could even be said that she was not much inferior to Little Nine.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at an inn.
Shouts rang out from within the inn. A group of people had gathered together as if they were watching something.
“Let go of me! Get lost!” In the middle of the crowd, a woman’s embarrassed and angry voice rang out.
Initially, Gu Xi did not want to meddle in other people’s business. However, when he heard this somewhat familiar voice, Gu Xi’s expression suddenly changed. He immediately rushed forward and passed through the crowd.
In front of him, a woman was being wantonly attacked by two men.
The two men completely ignored the woman’s shouts and continued to act on their own. Even the people from the Daluo Sect who were stationed not far away turned a blind eye.
According to the rules, as long as they did not fight and kill in the small town, they would not care about anything else. Moreover, there was going to be a live sex scene. The men naturally looked forward to such a scene.
