The Fei Li team had already changed to three carriages when they were on the road again, and Zhou Weiqing specially ran to the nearby towns to find them. In fact, for the eight of them, judging from their size, a large carriage is enough. But after all, there were four wounded, so Zhou Weiqing spent a lot of money to buy three. Crow, who is overweight, and Shangguan Binger, are in one car, and the remaining two cars are for three people. Zhou Weiqing and Ye Paopao take care of the two wounded respectively. Sufficient self-cultivation can make the injury heal faster.
At this moment, Zhou Weiqing missed Ming Hua a little bit. If she, a Dzi Jewel Master with the attribute of life, assisted in the treatment, everyone's injuries would definitely recover sooner.
Although each of the carriages transferred by the people was pulled by four tall horses, the speed of the journey was slower than that of their own horses. By the time they arrived at Zhongtian City, it was already fifteen days later, and at this time, there were only five days left before the start of the Dzi Bead Contest.
In the distance, a large canyon appeared in front, and there were obviously more pedestrians passing by. According to what the coachman said, Zhongtian City will arrive soon.
Lin TianAo ordered the coachmen to stop at the side of the road and let everyone get off the carriage.
"Boss, isn't it almost to Zhongtian City? Isn't it the same when we get there to rest?" Zui Bao asked with some doubts.
Lin Tianao smiled slightly, and said, "Look up, I want you to know where Pearl Island is that day."
Only then did everyone turn their eyes to the front. When they glanced at it, a strong sense of shock came to their faces with an indescribable oppressive force.
They were on the official road at this time, and from their positions, they could clearly see that about tens of miles away, huge stone pillars of incomparably thick pierced through the air and disappeared until they reached the clouds. It is impossible to see how huge these stone pillars are just by visual inspection, but the sight of all sixteen huge stone pillars soaring into the sky still fills each of them with shock. Even Little White Tiger Fat Cat poked his head out of Zhou Weiqing's arms to look at the magnificent scene, a faint chill flashed in his eyes.
"That is Zhongtian Mountain, the most iconic place in the entire Zhongtian Empire. Within the sixteen pillars of Zhongtian Mountain, there is the entire Zhongtian City, and the one standing on the top of these sixteen pillars is where the Haomiao Palace is located. Tianzhu Island. The Zhongtian Empire has always been proud of this as the center of the mainland. They do have the capital to be proud, and there is only one place with such a spectacle on the mainland."
"It's so shocking. These dozens of huge stone pillars really seem to connect the sky and the earth. It is not an exaggeration to call them Tianzhu." Xiaosi praised.
Standing there, Zhou Weiqing couldn't help nodding his head. It's no wonder that the Zhongtian Empire can become the most powerful country in the mainland. Whether it is Tianzhu Island or Zhongtian City in the belly of Zhongtian Mountain, they can be said to be the most strange places in the world. He was looking forward to the Pearl Competition more and more, and really wanted to enter this battle immediately. No wonder everyone wanted to get the top four in the competition. yes! Even if there is no reward, who wouldn't want to go to Pearl Island to see it? What a strange sight would that be
Lin Tianao said calmly: "We are about to reach Zhongtian City, and there are only a few days before the Tianzhu Competition. From now on, I announce Zhou Weiqing as the acting captain, and he will decide all competition matters."
Zhou Weiqing looked at Lin TianAo, Lin TianAo nodded to him, and gave him an encouraging look.
Zui Bao said: "Boss, it's not necessary. Even if your injury is still not healed, there is no problem in directing everyone!"
Lin Tianao shook his head and said: "No, now Weiqing is the main general, and only he knows the strength of him and Miss Bing'er best. I will help from the side, but I believe that he will never do anything unsure. It is very suitable for him to act as the captain for the time being."
After more than ten days of cultivation, everyone's physical condition has improved a lot, but the previous injuries were serious after all, and they almost all hurt their internal organs. can recover.
Lin Tianao said to Zhou Weiqing: "The Dzi Bead Competition is held every three days, so that the contestants can get enough rest between the two rounds. From the current situation of the few of us, at least ten more rounds are needed. It takes more than a day to recover. The situation of Xiaoyan and Zuibao is more serious and it will take longer. Therefore, you must lead everyone through at least the first two rounds of competition. This will also be the most difficult. I hope I can use your good Luck, don't let us meet those strong teams too early."
Zhou Weiqing nodded and said, "It's meaningless to promise everyone now, but I will definitely do my best. Let's go, we will enter the city right now. Finding a place to live in Zhongtian City will also make you feel better. of healing."
In the past ten days, although he has been on the road, it can be said that Zhou Weiqing has been practicing the most diligently for a period of time. After voluntarily becoming the chief general, he suddenly felt an extremely heavy pressure on his shoulders. Even though his cultivation of Tianli has been raised to the first stage of Tianshenli, he is still only a three-Jeweled Heavenly Jewel Master. From the strength of these few contestants from the Tianzhu Academy, it can be seen that this Tianzhu competition is at least a stage for four-Jewel and five-Jewel level Tianzhu masters, and there will be no shortage of strong ones. Although it's a battle to sharpen your guns, it's good to improve your strength with hard work.
As the saying goes, Wangshan ran dead horses. Although they had seen that they were very close to Zhongtian City, it was already evening when they arrived at Zhongtian City.
Only when you really come up close can you see how huge the sixteen thick stone pillars are, each of which may be several thousand meters in circumference. The city wall of Zhongtian City was also built on the basis of these sixteen huge pillars. There is no need to guess, everyone knows that this must be the largest city in the mainland. When you get close, you can hardly see the border at a glance. Zhou Weiqing can even be sure that even the entire Tiangong Empire is not as huge as this Zhongtian City, which covers an area of 5,000 square kilometers.
Farming and other agriculture in other cities are generally outside the city, but Tiancheng is so big that all the industry and agriculture are actually inside the city. I don't know how much money was spent to build the thick outer city wall alone. There is no doubt that Zhongtian City itself is like a small country. It's a pity that the sky above Zhongtian City is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the sun can only shine into the city from the side, but it is still impossible for people to see the existence of Tianzhu Island in the sky above.
After entering the area of Zhongtian City, until it was dark, everyone finally arrived at the inner city of Zhongtian City. The inner city is located at the core of Zhongtian City. This inner city alone is much larger than Feili City, the capital of the Feili Empire. .
By the time the Fei Li team settled down completely, it was already midnight.
As the acting captain of the Fei Li team, Zhou Weiqing chose an inconspicuous hotel in the inner city of Zhongtian City as their resting place. The reason for this decision is not to save money, but to be quiet. There is no doubt that the Tianzhu Contest is about to start, and the entire Zhongtian City will be lively. Young powerhouses from many countries came here, and they were all rivals. If they met, there would inevitably be some friction. Now that Lin TianAo and the others were seriously injured, it was not suitable for any conflict to arise at this time. Therefore, Zhou Weiqing would rather choose an ordinary hotel, so that the injured can rest better. Anyway, there are still five days before the registration for the competition.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Tianao called everyone into his room. He was the only one who had participated in the Dzi Bead Competition, and it was time to tell everyone about the rules and precautions of the Dzi Bead Competition, especially Zhou Weiqing, the acting captain.
Lin Tianao looked at his teammates sitting around him, and said seriously: "The Tianzhu competition is about to start. Xiaoyan, Xiaosi, Zuibao, you don't need to show up for the first two rounds after the competition starts. My injury is relatively minor, and I will compete with Weiqing and the others, of course, I will try to take as few shots as possible to prevent the injury from getting worse."
"There are more than 30 countries in the mainland, of different sizes, and there are about 20 countries that can gather at least five young Tianzhu masters to participate. The Tianzhu Competition is divided into two stages, the preliminaries and the finals. In the preliminaries, the teams from more than 20 countries will be divided into four groups by lottery, and each group will be seeded by the supporting countries of the Four Holy Lands except Tianxiejiao. The top four of this year will be the four seeded teams. But in fact, for many years, these top four have been monopolized by teams supported by the Holy Land. The preliminaries are round-robin, that is to say, in a group, each Teams have to play against every other team."
"In the preliminaries, the two teams with the best records in each group advance to the finals, that is, the quarterfinals of the competition, and then fight against each other to determine the semifinals. The final battle of the semifinals will be held on Tianzhu Island."
Zhou Weiqing interjected: "It sounds like this competition system is quite simple."
Lin Tianao smiled lightly and said: "It's really simple, but it's also extremely difficult. The seeded teams of each group have qualified as the first in the group in the past, and other countries can only strive for the second place in this group." .In the last session, we went through untold hardships. We barely entered the second round when two seniors were disabled, but we were defeated in the quarterfinals without any suspense. We want to enter the second round steadily. In the second round, then, we must not lose a game against other opponents in the group stage."
Zhou Weiqing's heart moved, "You mean, we have to give up the battle against the seeded team in the group stage?"
