(It’s too late today, sorry. My child had a fever and I didn’t write during the day. I was embarrassed to ask for leave, so I wrote in the evening. I’ve been writing until now. Sorry.)
"That's it, meow!~"
…
When people have a goal, time will pass quickly.
This is true for Xu Le, and the same is true for other people.
The black tide is coming, and everyone is doing their best to improve their own strength. Even if there are some conflicts between gang forces, they have all stopped at this time.
And those who have the ability to improve their channels will also make their best efforts during this period.
Improving strength is crucial for everyone.
Bai Jing, who had put on smoky makeup, was sitting in a bar and negotiating with someone.
The person negotiating with her was the small mercenary, Chang Fengle, who had been cooperating with her not long ago.
Chang Fengle glanced at Bai Jing's outfit, which had changed a lot, and couldn't help but admire:
"Sister Bai Jing has changed a lot in recent times, but it's a good thing. She's getting more and more beautiful."
Bai Jing did not respond to Chang Fengle's compliment, nor did she want to waste time on this topic.
"When you recruit your men, don't you check their backgrounds?"
"What's the meaning?"
Chang Fengle asked questions even though he already knew the answer. This was for the purpose of cultivating the Tree of Souls, obtaining more strange corpses, and also for the fruit.
The Tree Shepherds' recent recruitments were indeed mixed.
In order to expand, Chang Fengle can no longer care about so many things.
The Black Tide is approaching, and this is a great opportunity for the tree shepherds.
There are many strange things in the Kuroshio, and corpses are everywhere.
If we could have enough manpower and make good use of these corpses to cultivate the Tree of Souls.
Let’s not talk about achieving success overnight, but rewarding each person with one fruit doesn’t seem to be a big problem.
After a warrior is blessed with the power of the fruit, the improvement is very obvious.
The weaker the warrior, the stronger the improvement effect.
By recruiting personnel in this way, Chang Fengle can quickly expand his own strength and influence, which he thinks is crucial.
However... it also attracted hostility from Bai Jing.
Although Bai Jing's group of polluters are few in number, they are all elite.
The overall environment of Tianrui Lifeng is not good, but Bai Jing's method of washing away sins does have a strong effect of purifying the environment.
Of course, it will also cause hostility and dissatisfaction among many people.
These people are all illegal immigrants, or mercenaries with criminal records. Their behavior is so bad that the gangs will not accept them.
Now there is an organization called Shepherds who is willing to provide a guarantee and does not restrict the conditions for joining the organization.
There are also fruit rewards to be obtained, so these mercenaries with criminal records naturally flocked to join the tree shepherd.
This is the origin of the negotiations between the two sides.
"Ah Le, you must have a bottom line when doing things. I know that you were influenced by Ding Ke and took this path.
But what I want to tell you is that if you continue like this, you will only be on the path of self-destruction."
"Sister Bai Jing, there is no point in preaching at this time, and I am not here to listen to your preaching.
My eldest brother once said something that I really liked.
The accumulation of capital is always bloody, and now is the time for the tree shepherd to accumulate his own capital.
No one can stop us!"
"It seems that you are stubborn and stubborn."
"It's useless to say these things. The black tide is coming. We don't even know if you and I can survive it. Why are we still thinking about these things?"
Chang Fengle leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, looking more mature than before.
There are also some more shadows of the big bosses.
It is hard to say whether he is a big boss or not, but he has always been working towards becoming a superior person.
"Now you should be able to survive the black tide." Bai Jing stared at Chang Fengle and said with certainty.
"Sister Bai Jing, is this a blessing? A blessing for me to survive this black tide?"
"It's not a blessing, it's just an accurate analysis. Your own strength should have been greatly improved now, right?"
"Yes, and then?"
"Then you gathered so many subordinates and thugs. These people may not be reliable, but for the sake of their own interests, they will more or less stand in front of you before the real danger comes.
Based on this information, I inferred that you would not die."
Bai Jing's expression was very calm, but Chang Fengle didn't like her looking at him like that.
"And then what?"
"After what?"
"After the Black Tide, how does Sister Bai Jing plan to deal with us tree herders?"
"Errors and darkness all need to be cleaned up."
"Sister Bai Jing, this is making it difficult for me. I have finally gathered these people together and let them fight against the monsters. This is a good thing to contribute to mankind.
Why do you want to kill them? Is it impossible to redeem yourself after making a mistake once?"
Bai Jing narrowed her eyes. It was hard for her to imagine that Chang Fengle had changed so much during this period of time.
"Ale, you have changed. You have become a stranger."
"Sister Bai Jing is no different. The lively and enthusiastic leader she used to be is gone too."
"After the Black Tide, I will clean up those people. If you stand in our way, I will clean up you."
"Then let's wait and see?"
“We’ll see.”
Bai Jing left, seemingly without gaining any benefit, but Chang Fengle's face did not look good.
He knew that with Bai Jing's current personality, she would definitely do what she said.
After the black tide, the tree shepherds will inevitably be attacked by the polluters.
As a leader, he must not only look at the present, but also the future.
The Polluter is very powerful, and Bai Jing's strength is even more amazing. This is a huge trouble.
"I don't know what kind of relationship Bai Jing has with my eldest brother."
Chang Fengle may not be afraid of Bai Jing, but he has to consider Xu Le's problem.
If Bai Jing was protected by Xu Le, then he would never be able to compete with her.
After the incident with the seeds, he already felt that Xu Le was some kind of extraordinary and great being. Perhaps the identity of Red Bearded Dink was just a disguise.
"Brother Le, what do you say now?"
"What? Of course, notify everyone to prepare for the battle of the Black Tide.
I have spent all my money to buy a batch of obsolete weapons smuggled from Zion, although they are not the legendary ancient Yin multi-tech weapons.
But it is also a product of Zion’s last era, and its power is absolutely flawless.
Equip everyone and give him a good fight."
"yes!"
After being mobilized, the tree shepherds began to howl.
Many people simply don’t understand the polluters. They think that Bai Jing only has a few people, and they have less than 200 people, so how can they be afraid of the other party
The number of people overwhelmed the opponent.
Only Chang Fengle himself has begun to think about how to deal with these people with shady backgrounds.
…
Red Moon Countdown: 1 hour, 14 minutes and 31 seconds
Looking at the sky that was gradually darkening, Xu Le held Ding Ke in his arms.
“There really is no city wall. All the mercenaries, soldiers, warriors, and sorcerers are standing in every corner of the city.
Even as an outsider, I can’t help but feel my blood boiling when I see this.”
Ding Ke stretched out his head, licked his paw and said:
"This is a very primitive practice... but it does occasionally bring out the best in everyone."
"Yes, humans are all passionate, and once passion is aroused, fear, anxiety, and restlessness can be well controlled.
The environment and atmosphere will affect many people. After repeated polishing, Tianrui Lifeng will become the city with the lowest mental energy accumulation."
“Yes, although this method is primitive, it is indeed very effective.
The only drawback is that it depends on the quality of Tianrui Lifeng’s leadership. If the leadership is not good, then this approach cannot be sustained.”
"Leader..."
The image of Chi Xiao flashed through Xu Le’s mind.
He also didn't know whether Chi Xiao was the leader of Tianrui Lifeng, and what attitude she would take when fighting in the black tide.
“It’s coming.”
The red moon howled again, and this time Xu Le locked his eyes on the moon in the sky.
After a conversation with Chi Xiao, Xu Le has confirmed that Hong Yue is indeed a living being.
And they are creatures with telekinetic energy.
Its howl is the simplest and most straightforward emotion.
fear.
Is Hongyue afraid of Gu Yinduo? Or Gu Yinduo's son? Xu Le is not sure.
But humans have to defend the city, there is no other way.
"The Black Tide has begun."
boom!
Just after 12 o'clock, Xu Le felt a violent burst of energy coming from the front.
A red color lit up in the distance, and it looked like... it should be a flame.
"It's her, meow. If you want to go see her, go ahead."
Xu Le: …
Being exposed was indeed not a pleasant thing, but he still planned to go over and take a look.
"I want to see it."
"What do you want to see, meow? To see Chi Xiao's heroic demeanor? Just listen to me brag to you."
"No, I just want to see the gap between myself and the legend."
Xu Le was very serious when he said this, he really meant it.
He wanted to take a closer look at how big the gap between himself and the legend was.
"If you want to see it, go ahead. You don't have to report to me..."
"Then go and see for yourself."
Xu Le felt that Ding Ke still understood him.
…
In a hotel in Changfeng District, Rewi Alley was standing there with a frown on his face.
"I never thought that we would have to ride out the Kuroshio tide this time..."
"Ms. Ai Li, the security gang at Tianrui Lifeng told us that as long as we stay in the hotel and don't run around, we'll be fine."
"knew."
Ai Li waved his hands, looking a little impatient.
In fact, she was not really impatient, she just didn't want anyone to disturb her at this time.
After driving away those annoying guys, Ai Li looked at the red moon in the sky.
"According to Xu Le's personality, if he could stay out of trouble at a time like this, he would definitely hide quietly...
So... he should be safe now
No, sometimes he would take risks, but his cowardice was only within a certain range.
Once there is something he wants to know, taking risks is almost inevitable...
Oh, I'm so worried about him."
As Xu Le's official lover, Ai Li's understanding of Xu Le can be said to be very profound.
As soon as Xu Le sticks his butt out, Ai Li knows what kind of shit he is going to do...
But there was no way to contact Xu Le now, and Ai Li felt a little upset.
"Xu Le, are you okay now?"
…
"Dog..."
Xu Le, who was about to head to the outskirts of the city, suddenly paused. He thought of Gou Zi.
I remembered the time when they practiced together and bathed in the moonlight together.
My sudden departure was indeed irresponsible to the dog.
But he had no choice. If he did not leave Zion decisively, then the entire high-level system of Zion might fall into the assassination of the Red Moon Temple.
That was not the result Xu Le wanted to see, nor was it what Li Wen wanted to see.
"If the dog was here, maybe he would give me some different opinions..."
"Thinking about women again, meow?"
"You've been a bit naughty lately, Dink."
"Uh, let's go find Chi Xiao as soon as possible."
Ding Ke could sense that Xu Le was in a bad mood, but now he was not going to argue with Xu Le.
"Forget it, you're right. At this time, we should go find Chi Xiao and learn about the situation of Tianrui Lifeng Kuroshio."
After having a target, Xu Le quickly began to transform into an element and took off into the air, then flew towards the place where the fire was lit.
As the destination got closer, Xu Le felt more and more that the battle ahead was extraordinary.
Waves of intense heat almost ignited the air.
But this heat did not cause any violent explosion, it was more like some kind of stable combustion environment.
"I have to go and take a look."
Xu Le continued to approach, but before long, he felt something strange...
A shrill voice appeared in his mind. Xu Le looked up and saw an eyeball suddenly appearing above his head.
"This is… "
Xu Le quickly confirmed one thing: this eyeball was not aimed at him.
But this is not entirely good news, as the voice in front has been caught in a strange siege.
And this eyeball didn't seem to be helping her, but more like a form of surveillance.
"Math - Dragon Breath!"
Chi Xiao released a blazing flame, burning all the monsters around him in an instant.
Whether it is groups of level 3 monsters, level 4 bone dragons flying in the sky, or level 5 giants standing on the plains.
Under Chi Xiao's dragon breath, everything turned into ashes.
As she had said to Xu Le before, she silently protected Tianrui Lifeng, standing at the outermost edge of the city, acting as a silent guardian.
What's the meaning
Xu Le had this doubt and felt that such behavior was meaningless.
But many people are doing this without hesitation, so he is a little confused.
"Are you here..."
Chi Xiao, who was in the strange tide, felt Xu Le's presence, but Xu Le's arrival did not affect Chi Xiao's behavior.
In fact, Chi Xiao and Xu Le have very similar ideas.
Do you like it
Yes, a little bit.
Maybe a lot, but definitely not the most important.
They all have more important things to do and execute, so even if they feel like someone, they won't show it.
That would only cause embarrassment to both parties.
What she has to face is not just weirdness.
There are many ancient sounds, the Red Moon Temple, and many enemies...
For example, the enemy now, the eyeball.
"It is really shameful to watch others fight and not want to come down, Angel."
