As soon as he entered the city of giants, several imperial guards in white clothes and blue spears came towards Longyang.
"Young Xia Longyang, you came back just in time, and the city lord welcomes you."
A leader of the imperial guards who took the lead bowed slightly to Long Yang.
Long Yang nodded and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, there were only a few people on the street, showing a sense of desolation. Although these imperial guards had serious expressions, Long Yang saw that their eyes were full of sadness and despair.
This giant city was originally peaceful and peaceful, but now with the awakening of the prehistoric orcs, everything has changed.
Long Yang secretly sighed in his heart, the strong are indeed respected in this world, the weak are not even qualified to live.
Looking out from the city, I saw that the entire giant city was covered in black thick fog. In the thick fog, there were countless prehistoric clans waiting for an opportunity to move inside.
Long Yang frowned slightly,
"Why does it feel like the dense fog has become thicker? Could something have happened to the nightmare beast again?"
Thinking of that huge and extremely strange monster, Long Yang's heart sank. He must go out as soon as possible and go to the Mermaid Clan to find Wang Dahui, otherwise he doesn't know what the Mermaid King will do.
"But now that Tang Tianzhu is sleeping in the fairy burial coffin, there is an undercurrent surging in this giant city, and he can only rely on himself."
Long Yang was concentrating on his thoughts, he had been out and about for a long time, and Long Yang was no longer that ignorant boy on Yaoxian Island, he was much calmer.
Long Yang withdrew his gaze and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
...
In the City Lord's Mansion, a group of people were sitting in the main hall, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.
"My lord, the current situation is not optimistic. If the nightmare beast continues to develop like this, I'm afraid our city defense formation will not last long."
The Patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Jin, said in a deep voice, this is an old man in his sixties, with a tall stature and a hulking back, exuding a coercion from his whole body, and his cultivation is also unfathomable.
Sitting next to Wang Jin was a man in his fifties, dressed in a golden robe, with a smile on his face, which gave people a feeling of intimacy, but made people shudder.
These two are the two strongest members of the Wang family right now, Wang Jin and the eldest elder of the Wang family—Master Yu. No one knows his real name, only that this person suddenly appeared in the Wang family. , making the Wang family the head of the four major families in Giant City.
"I also know the current situation, but there are so many prehistoric peoples now. They are in the dark and we are in the light. Once we attack rashly and are ambushed, our entire giant city will suffer. At that time, our entire giant city will fall .”
The strong man in the purple robe sitting at the head said in a deep voice that it was the city lord Bai Zizai.
"Are we just sitting there waiting to die?"
A big man sitting on the lower right said.
Beside him lay an extremely huge snow wolf, its cold teeth glowed with a dark green light, making it daunting. This man was none other than Gongsun Jie, the head of the Gongsun family of the Four Great Clans.
At this moment, his face was a little gloomy, and a pair of sharp eyes scanned the people in the hall.
Everyone in the hall listened to Gongsun Jie's words and lowered their heads one after another. No one dared to answer. There was a dead silence in the hall, which was a bit scary.
"Gongsun Jie, are you questioning my decision?"
The giant city lord Bai Zizai's face turned livid, and he snorted coldly.
"snort!"
Gongsun Jie snorted coldly, his face full of dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything more.
"In my opinion, you don't have to worry so much."
At this time, a kind-hearted old lady on the other side spoke.
This person is dressed in a black Taoist uniform, with a dragon head crutch in his hand, he looks quite immortal, this is the current witch master of the Tuoba family - Tuobayu.
The Tuoba family is a very ancient family, which existed in the Titan City era, and after the Giant City was rebuilt, they naturally stayed.
Moreover, the Tuoba clan is proficient in divination, and within 10,000 years, there will be a saint who has the ability to predict the future. Every time a saint is born, the Tuoba clan will rise once. Coincidentally, this time the Tuoba clan has already There has been no saintess for more than ten thousand years.
Therefore, the reputation of the Tuoba clan is very high in this giant city, second only to the lineage of the city lord. After all, the saint is about to be born, and no one wants to provoke an enemy who can predict the future.
"I wonder if Lord Tuoba has any suggestions?"
Hearing what Tuoba Yu said, everyone's nerves tensed up.
Tuobayu smiled lightly, although she was already in her dying years, but she could vaguely see her youthful splendor from her face.
"Everyone knows that the nightmare beast has begun to awaken. This is a sign of the end times. If it continues to awaken, the whole world will become its dreamland. At that time, all races in the inner world will be extinct."
Everyone nodded, tens of thousands of years ago, they had experienced such a thing, if not for the arrival of that being, the world at the core of the earth at this time would have been occupied by the prehistoric clan.
"Once the Nightmare Beast starts to awaken, it will not stop until it evolves into the Nightmare Lord. At that time, maybe all of our masters in the inner earth world will not be its opponent."
"What's more, the nightmare beasts are not the only monsters awakened this time! If we continue to defend passively like before, then we have no chance of winning."
"I have even seen the end of the broken mountains and rivers."
Tuoba Yu said lightly.
Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect this catastrophe to be so terrifying, the Tuoba family has the racial talent of prophecy, no one would dare to disbelieve their words.
"In this case, why don't we take the initiative to attack and eradicate this nightmare beast in one fell swoop?"
"Eradicate the Nightmare Beast? It's impossible. The Nightmare Beast is extremely cunning, and its consciousness is extremely powerful. Whenever it is threatened, it will change its position. In the Nightmare Forest, it is difficult for us to find his real body."
A patriarch said hesitantly.
"Yes, the nightmare beast in the nightmare forest is almost invincible. As long as it feels threatened, even if it can't kill us, we can't kill it."
Wang Jin, head of the royal family, also frowned.
"Quiet! Listen to me!"
Tuobayu beat the snake head stick on the ground, making a crisp sound, and the hall fell silent immediately.
Her gaze swept across the hall, across everyone, and finally landed on a middle-aged man in a purple robe sitting at the top.
"My lord, do you also think we have no chance of winning?"
Hearing Tuoba Yu's words, Bai Zi passed a trace of solemnity between his brows, pondered for a moment and said:
"There is a chance of winning."
"Since it's possible, why should we wait here?"
Tuoba Yu's voice was very calm, but full of unquestionable taste.
"Although the Nightmare Beast's spiritual sense is strong, with so many of us, there may not be no chance of winning."
"It can sense the breath of us old guys, but it may not be able to sense the breath of the younger generation!"
"We have accumulated countless pills for so many years. I think everyone has some pills that can greatly improve their strength in a short period of time, right? Find some reliable young people and let them explore in the Nightmare Forest. If possible Killing the nightmare beast would be the best, if not, we can also know some news from the outside world so that we won't be trapped to death in the city."
"Once you see the nightmare beast, let these young people take the elixir, maybe you can fight the nightmare beast to death."
"And the giant city is guarded by us old guys. With the defense of the city, the nightmare breath released by the nightmare beast will not be able to enter for a short time. What do you think?"
Tuoba Yu said slowly.
There was silence in the hall, no one spoke, but a light flashed in their eyes.
What Tuobayu said made sense, as long as some more reliable young people were found to hunt and kill the nightmare beasts, there might be a chance of survival.
But the danger level of the Nightmare Forest is not just for fun. Even the old guys like them are very afraid of it. The young people who were sent out almost had a narrow escape.
"I agree!"
Wang Jin spoke first.
"Hmph, if you agree, then who do you want to do this? Let your eldest son Wang Ba?"
Bai Zizai's younger brother Bai Ziming looked at Wang Jin and sneered.
"You! Bai Ziming, don't think that with the city lord as the backstage, I'm afraid of you!"
Wang Jin looked at Bai Ziming, gritted his teeth and said.
"You think I'm afraid you won't succeed?"
"Even without my brother's help, I can kill you!"
Bai Ziming didn't hesitate at all, the two obviously had a long-standing grudge.
"Okay, let's all stop talking!"
"Now let's discuss how to deal with Nightmare Beasts."
"Let the Lord City Lord decide!"
Bai Ziming and Wang Jin glared at each other, then turned their gazes to the city lord Bai Zizai.
Bai Zizai glanced at Bai Ziming and Wang Jin, and sighed.
He is very clear about the grievances between his younger brother and Wang Jin. In the past, he could have favored his younger brother, but now, he can only tell Bai Ziming to bear it with his eyes.
After all, the enemy is now in the lead. Although he is the city lord, he still needs to rely on the strength of the Wang family.
"Since everyone has said so, I have no reason to object."
"But everyone knows how dangerous this trip is. Who would like to go?"
The city lord Bai Zizai said, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall, hoping that someone would stand up and show his courage.
The audience was silent, no one spoke.
"Wang Ba, don't you claim to be the leader of the younger generation? Your father was the first to come out and vote for it, why don't you express your opinion?"
For some reason, Bai Ziming had a big opinion on the Wang family, and said to Wang Ba with a pair of tiger eyes.
Wang Ba was taken aback for a moment, but smiled behind him, as if he didn't see the hostility in Bai Ziming's words at all.
"Uncle Bai, you are right. As the eldest son of the head of the four major families, I really should make a statement."
Wang Ba held a folding fan in his hand, his eyes were full of cunning.
"What is the head of the four major families, who sealed it for you?"
"My Gongsun family is no worse than your Wang family!"
"My Zhang family is not weaker than your Wang family..."
Hearing Wang Ba's words, the younger generation of the following four major families immediately quit and made ridicule.
The four major families of the Giant City have been competing for tens of thousands of years, and no one will accept the other, so they are naturally unwilling to admit defeat at this time.
"Uncle Bai, you heard it too. These people don't accept me, so why should I stand out?"
"It's okay to let my Wang family take people out, let the other three major families bow their heads to me, admit that they are not as good as my Wang family, and become my Wang family's subordinates, and I will go!"
Wang Ba said loudly.
"presumptuous!"
"It makes no sense!"
"You are courting death!"
Hearing Wang Ba's arrogant words, the four major families were furious, especially the young people of Gongsun's family, they wanted to rush up and beat him up immediately.
There was a hint of smile in Wang Jin's eyes, provoking this son to be not only powerful, but also resourceful, with just a few words, he resolved Bai Ming's offensive.
"Quiet! Don't you take me, the city lord, seriously?!"
The city lord Bai Zizai looked at the noisy crowd in the hall with a livid face.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent.
"This time, Nightmare Forest and his party are of great importance, and I will not let you go in vain!"
"If anyone can get back the Nightmare Heart of the Nightmare Beast, I will take out a spirit treasure and give it to him! At the same time, he will also become my successor, that is, the next City Lord of the Giant City, and it will be his!"
Bai Zizai said in surprise.
Hearing Bai Zizai's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then everyone went crazy.
Lingbao? What is that concept
Lingbao is divided into Houtian Lingbao, Xiantian Lingbao, Ancient Lingbao and Xuantian Lingbao.
The ancient spirit treasure is an ancient treasure left over from the ancient times, and the Xuantian spirit treasure is a mysterious treasure left behind from the upper realm. Every spirit treasure is an existence that integrates the essence of heaven and earth.
Even in a continent, it is difficult to conceive a spirit treasure. Even the worst acquired spirit treasure is an existence that countless people desire and cannot get.
"Lingbao, that is the legendary Lingbao!"
"real or fake?"
"If it is true, then the person who gets it will instantly become prosperous."
"Then I want to participate too!"
"And there is still the position of the city lord, who can get the inheritance of the city lord, this is unimaginable!"
"..."
There were bursts of discussions in the hall.
Bai Zizai's words undoubtedly drove everyone in the hall crazy, and everyone was gearing up for a big fight.
Bai Zizai raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw the madness of the crowd.
This kind of crazy mood is exactly his favorite mood, he likes seeing people crazy the most.
Moreover, he was still crazy because of his words.
Seeing the madness of the crowd, he felt very relieved, as if he saw the crowd kneeling at his feet, begging for forgiveness.
The reason why he built this giant city is also because he likes this crazy feeling. He likes this feeling of looking down on everyone and making everyone surrender under his feet.
"Okay, everyone is quiet now. Although everyone is in high spirits, there should not be too many people going out, otherwise it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the nightmare beast."
Bai Zizai continued.
"My lord, I am willing to go!"
"My lord, I am willing too!"
"..."
Suddenly there were voices of scrambling in the city lord's mansion, and everyone wanted to go.
"Stop arguing, you are not suitable, let my Wang family take the lead! Before you see the nightmare beast, you will be eaten by other monsters, so you can only rely on my Wang family!"
"My Gongsun family doesn't agree. If your Wang family can go, so can we!"
"My lord, even though my Tuoba family has the physique of a wizard, I can still make a move. With us here, this operation can be foolproof..."
Everyone scrambled for it, seeming to have forgotten the horror and danger in the Nightmare Forest.
The temptation of Lingbao and the position of city lord is too great, no one can resist this temptation.
After hearing this, Bai Zizai waved his hand impatiently, telling everyone to stop fighting.
"Everyone be quiet, I know that everyone is fighting to save the lives of the people, and I deeply appreciate this, but you don't need to be too anxious, once the nightmare beast appears, it will be extremely dangerous, everyone must be careful! "
Bai Zizai said seriously.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your concern!"
Everyone respectfully bowed to Bai Zizai.
"Well, since everyone wants to go, let me arrange it."
"The four major families send out ten people each to form a team of forty people. Go out to explore and kill the nightmare beast. I will give you the spirit treasure. If you don't kill it, I will also reward you with some information."
"What do you think?"
Several patriarchs looked at each other and nodded silently.
"The Wang family has no objection... The Gongsun family agrees, the Tuoba family follows the orders of the city lord, and the Zhang family is willing to serve..."
"Wait a moment."
Suddenly, a female voice came in. When everyone looked up, it was Bai Zizai's daughter Tianqing!
"Tiny? What are you doing up here?"
Bai Ziming hurriedly stopped Bai Tianqing, and Bai Zizai also had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Don't do anything, I want to go out on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion!"
Tian Qing pouted and said.
"Tianqing, what are you messing about! There are people who go there and never return, why are you going?"
Bai Ziming quickly whispered.
"Uncle! They can do it, why can't I?"
"Besides, why should I give the Lingbao and city lord of my Bai family to others for free? I won't do it. I'm going to take back what my father gave me!"
Tian Qing had an unconvinced face.
"Tianqing, back off, don't make trouble!"
Bai Zizai saw that if he didn't stop Bai Tianqing, he might not be able to stop him, so he could only say in a deep voice.
"I won't retreat! The four major families have sent people, so my city lord's mansion can't send people? Otherwise, what's the majesty?"
"No matter what, I'm going!"
Hearing what Tianqing said, the following discussion started,
"That's right, the four major families have sent people to the city lord's mansion, but they didn't send any of them. Is this to send us to die and let them enjoy the benefits behind their backs?"
"The four masters of the City Lord's Mansion have always played so well, but now something happened and they hid. I think they are just a bunch of paper tigers..."
"I think the Wang family may be more suitable to take power than the current city lord, at least they dare to go up if they have something to do!"
"..."
Hearing these comments, Bai Zizai's face was also a little uneasy.
"Father, let me go!"
"I will prove that I have the ability to become the next city lord!"
Bai Tianqing's eyes were full of stubbornness.
Bai Zizai shook his head violently, "Don't mess around!"
"Father! You can't do this!"
Suddenly, Bai Zizai's eyes froze, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I saw a burly young man with yellow hair slowly walking into the main hall, striding slowly through the crowd, and came to Bai Zizai, as if no one existed.
When Bai Tianqing saw this young man, there was a hint of panic in his pretty eyes.
"You looking for me?"
Long Yang looked at Bai Zizai lightly and asked.
"Coming!"
Bai Zizai patted Long Yang's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile:
"This is the representative sent by my City Lord's Mansion, and he will represent our City Lord's Mansion to fight!"
Looking at this strange young man, the crowd was in an uproar.
