"We will stay here to guard you. You go back first. By the way, ask Brother Su for me how our Lin family is doing now and whether any outstanding titles have been born."
Someone stays here and continues to be responsible for guarding this canyon.
One of his friends smiled and agreed, and followed the others to surround Su Ping and return to the stronghold.
Su Ping felt a little weird when he heard all the inquiries around him, and asked, "You guys are guarding here. Didn't the Peak Tower contact you?"
Although these legends are stationed in the abyss all year round and cannot control the situation outside, with the peak tower as a bridge in the middle, at least the information will not be blocked.
"The environment in this abyss is harsh, and the peak tower cannot communicate with us frequently. It can only deliver some important messages. It is not good for us that I wasted such a precious contact opportunity because of some trivial matters in my family." A middle-aged legend laughed. He said that one of his arms was missing and did not regenerate. He must have suffered some kind of incurable attack.
Another old man said: "I have been here for more than three hundred years, and I came in late. When brother Tieyi came in, it was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, he said that the situation of our Mo family was not bad, and how many children were born. It’s a pretty good title, but I wonder how it will be a hundred years later?”
"Are they still those in the base city outside?" Legend intervened and asked.
Su Ping glanced at the old man, a little strange, and said, "You have served here for three hundred years? Didn't you say that the legendary guarding for fifty years is enough?"
Yun Wanli next to him changed his face slightly and became a little nervous when he heard Su Ping's words.
The old man shook his head and smiled and said: "Although the above said that fifty years is enough, I was only planning to stay here for fifty years and then go back. But then I came in and too many things happened. I couldn't stay in the first year." I went down, and then slowly stayed for ten years, then twenty years... Then, an old friend fell here to save me. You have also seen the situation in this abyss. There are so many monsters that I can't kill them all. over!"
"There are already very few legends here. It is not easy to give birth to a legend. If we leave again, who will guard this place?"
"If there is no one to guard it, the entire land will suffer, and then the family we protect will also face disaster!"
Another young man next to him also nodded, but his voice was full of vicissitudes of life, and said: "Xiao Mo is right, there are endless monsters to kill here. The number of legends sent in by the peak tower every year has been decreasing year by year. If we leave again, , Something big must happen here. I have been here for five hundred years. After five hundred years of fighting and suppression, many seniors fell in front of me. It is their help that I am alive now."
"So I will not leave. I will stay here. Staying here is to protect the descendants of the family of those seniors!"
"That's right, you can only go in here, but you can't go out!" Another bald legend said, his voice was a little thick and he looked extremely straightforward.
The other legends didn't speak, but their expressions already represented their thoughts.
Su Ping couldn't help being stunned.
This was completely different from the Legend of Peak Tower he had seen before.
He has exceeded his term of service, but he is still here, fighting for his life
Su Ping believed that these people were not lying.
That can only show that they are really willing to give here wholeheartedly!
Pay for peace on earth!
Seeing the scars on each of their bodies, Su Ping suddenly didn't know what to say.
After a while, he asked: "Then among the legends you came in, none of them left after serving?"
The old man who was previously called Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "Of course, there will always be some people who want to leave, but it is understandable. After all, they have things they cherish, and they are fighting here for their lives. No one knows Can we survive until tomorrow? Just like today, if there was no support from Brother Su, there might be another casualty among us."
"That's right."
"Someone's service is over and it's their freedom to leave."
"It's our choice to stay."
"You can't force this kind of thing, and we won't blame those who left."
Everyone else spoke.
Su Ping looked around them, remained silent for a moment, and said, "You all just joined the Peak Tower and were sent here to serve?"
"Of course, this is the rule of the peak tower."
"Those who come here are all those who have just joined the Peak Tower. Occasionally, some seniors from the Peak Tower are willing to come here. For example, there was a senior Yun who was already in the Void Cave Realm and joined the Peak Tower very early. After serving here and leaving, he came back here, but unfortunately, he died in battle four hundred years ago."
"Brother Su, there are some things you should be careful about."
In the crowd, an old man with one ear suddenly stepped forward and looked at Su Ping meaningfully. When Su Ping heard the old man's words, he was stunned for a moment and realized that the old man was the one who had never spoken before. He saw the old man's eyes, and suddenly, he seemed to understand the meaning in his eyes.
At this moment, he thought a lot and suddenly understood a lot.
The rule of the Peak Tower is that legends must serve in the Abyss Cave.
In order to avoid serving in the military, some legends were promoted to legends, but they hid their cultivation, did not join the peak tower, and lived in a low profile. They just did not want to take the risk of serving in the abyss cave.
For example, the ancestor of the Qing family who was killed by him in the King's League was like this.
There are also legends who, although they joined the Peak Tower and wanted to get the resources in the Peak Tower, they left immediately after serving in the Abyss Cave, as if they had completed their mission.
And the remaining legends are these.
After coming here to serve, he got out of hand and stayed.
perhaps.
They stay here and wait until they die in battle!
People are divided into three, six or nine grades, and so are legends.
Good people are bullied, and kind people always bear the most, and the same is true for legends.
Perhaps, this is what this world looks like.
only…
Thinking of the faces in the peak tower, drinking and enjoying themselves leisurely and watching pet beasts fighting, Su Ping suddenly felt that it was too ironic and mocking.
"King Su Ni..." Yun Wanli looked at Su Ping, opened his mouth slightly, but stopped talking, and there was worry in his eyes.
Su Ping glanced at him and immediately understood what Yun Wanli meant, wanting him to be careful about what he said.
He couldn't help but smile, a little mockingly, and said: "There is no shortage of legends in the peak tower. Those legends hide there to enjoy themselves, and let the legends who are willing to sacrifice fight for their lives here. Do they deserve me to hide it for them?"
Yun Wanli's expression changed, and he looked around, feeling a little embarrassed.
The face of the one-eared old man also became a little gloomy. He stared at Su Ping, then withdrew his gaze, sighed and shook his head.
The previously enthusiastic legends around him were stunned when they heard Su Ping's words.
When they noticed Yun Wanli's expression, everyone soon understood what Su Ping meant.
Everyone present is a legend. Although they are fighting in this abyss, they are comrades who are close to each other in life and death. They don't play tricks on each other, but they are not completely innocent and stupid.
After a brief silence, the old man named Mo said: "Brother Su, I know what you mean. In fact, we all know this."
"Know?" Su Ping looked at him, then looked around, and found that no one else spoke, but there was no much surprise or anger on their faces, which made him a little stunned.
"After all, we have been here for so many years, and so many legends have come later. What kind of things are those legends? We know that they are eager to leave immediately. In fact, when their service period is over, they will not look back. left."
The old man surnamed Mo said, suddenly smiled softly and said: "But as we said before, we don't blame them for leaving. It is our choice for us to stay."
"That's right." Another young man with black hair whispered: "I am willing to stay. It's Mr. Li. He is the person who has stayed here the longest. He has served here for eight hundred years. He has become a legend since the beginning. After staying here until now and becoming a strong man in the Void Cave Realm, it was Mr. Li who taught me what righteousness is and what a true legend is!"
"That's right."
Another middle-aged man said: "Legend is not only a title, but also an honor and contribution! We stay here willingly. No matter how many people outside are unwilling to come in, that is their business. If people If people are like them, then humanity will be doomed.”
"Yes, some people should pay, and we are willing to be the ones who stay."
"I am willing to stay because of you guys. To be honest, I wanted to leave this hellish place as soon as my service was over. However, seeing that they are all holding on, like Mr. Mo, he has been holding on for three hundred years, like Old Zhou has been guarding it for five hundred years, Brother Li has been guarding it for eight hundred years..."
"And I'm only here for fifty years? I won't lose to them!"
"You guys, I've told you before. I've been here for eight hundred years because I'm tired of being on land. It's more exciting here. If you should get out, just get out. Don't mention me all the time." A young man with an ordinary appearance. He plucked his ears with his little finger and said angrily, he is the old Mr. Li everyone calls the guard who has been here for eight hundred years.
