Arm wrestling is almost a must-have entertainment program in the military. The method is simple, and it is clear at a glance whether you win or lose. It is a very manly competition. The soldiers were very happy to watch such a show, even more interested than watching two people fight. They kept booing around Zero and Vader, and as the two people who were concerned, they quickly took action.
The wine bottles and the like on the table were cleared, and two disproportionate arms were placed on the table. Wade has been exercising for many years, and one arm is almost as thick as a woman's thigh. Simply crossing his hands, his muscles show a hideous appearance. The blood vessels on it are throbbing like earthworms, which is a symbol of strength. Looking at Zero again, the arm is only half the thickness of Vader, and it seems that there is no chance of winning.
Jin and the others naturally knew that this was not difficult at all. Even if he was not a power expert, it would be easy to deal with Vader, a soldier of only two or three ranks. But Vader and others didn't know this, and Zero didn't point it out, smiling and intertwining Vader's arms.
A soldier acted as a referee, he stretched out his hand and pressed the fists of the two, then left and shouted: "Start."
Vader immediately roared, and the strength of his whole body exploded. The sudden surge of force even shook the chair under his buttocks, and he maintained his sitting position, pulling Zero's hand towards the table little by little. Jin glanced at Ling unexpectedly. With his ability, even if Vader was pressed on him, he should not move at all. Zero blinked at him, and then pulled it back little by little.
"Damn, you have a lot of strength." Vader yelled, his face flushed red. His entire arm was already trembling slightly, obviously using all his strength, and finally regained his strength.
Seeing that Zero's arm kept sticking to the table, the soldiers of the council shouted and cheered. It's a pity that Zero exerted his strength again, and it didn't take a moment to eat Vader's advantage. Jin began to understand that Zero didn't want to win too fast and too hard. Otherwise, he could have brought Vader down in the first place, instead of creating a close situation like now.
Vader sweated like rain, his whole face was flushed, and he pulled Zero's arm down a little bit. Suddenly, Ling Tong burst into spring thunder, let out a soft drink, and pulled back forcefully. Amidst the soldiers' exclamations, Vader's arms were pressed tightly against the table, and the sergeant even fell to the ground.
The bar suddenly fell silent, and no one could believe the facts before them. Zero raised his hand, shook it and said, "It seems that I am slightly better."
I don't know who suddenly called out: "This game doesn't count."
"That's right, do it all over again."
"Do it all over again!"
The soldiers didn't want to see Vader lose, because Vader would lose face and they would lose face as well. Ke Vader stood up silently, then turned around and roared: "Shut up! Is this the kind of person who cheats? If you lose, you lose. Why don't you just drill into your crotch..."
He turned his head, glanced at Ling and said, "Come on, this is what you deserve."
Zero shrugged and said, "I don't think it's fun to humiliate a real soldier. I think it's better to drink wine instead. I'll punish you for drinking three big glasses."
There was a smile on Wade's face: "Don't say three cups, I don't even frown on three barrels."
Ling laughed loudly, and said to the bartender: "I'm treating guests tonight, and all the money for their drinks will be charged to my account."
In this way, the little happiness with the council soldiers disappeared. I don't know who said that the way a man understands a man is fists and wine. After drinking seven or eight glasses of beer with Zero, the last grudge in Vader's heart disappeared. With a hint of drunkenness, he put his arms around Zero's shoulder and said, "Captain Zac, I've convinced you. Tell me honestly, what level are you?"
"Level seven." Zero said casually.
"Damn it, it's not unfair to lose to a seventh-ranker." Vader shouted: "The seventh rank is among the blood cavalry, and he can already be a colonel. Just like our leader, he is the seventh rank. How about it?" , are you interested in joining the parliament? If you are interested, I can recommend it to you.”
Zero smiled and said: "I'm afraid not. First, my contract with Master Gu Jia has not yet expired. Besides, I can't leave my brothers and go to the blood knight to become a colonel."
"That's right." Vader laughed aloud, and then said: "Following Mr. Gu Jia, Captain Zac must have made a lot of money. At least, it costs a lot of money to book a venue like this."
"It's okay, Mr. Gu Jia is not only an adventure merchant, but also a rare beast merchant. You also know how much profit a rare beast can make sometimes." Zero saw that the timing was almost up, so he tentatively said: "So this time , Our main purpose is to hunt animals. Sergeant Vader, you live here for a long time, do you have any suggestions?"
Vader let go of Zero, and drew circles on the table with his hand dipped in beer: "Look here, there is a gray area between Elk Town and the black land. This is a sandstone landform with a wide view, whether it is us or that The alien races on the side all acquiesce in the existence of this gray zone. This is a neutral zone and a buffer zone, and we usually don’t fight here. When alien races cross this area, they regard it as a provocation.”
The sergeant's thick fingers moved back a little bit, and by this time several crooked concentric circles had appeared on the table. Vader's finger fell to an area behind the gray area: "From here, we will classify the black earth. The outermost is level 1, and every time an area is advanced, a level will be added accordingly, and so on. Level 1 and The Level 2 area used to be an area where hunters were allowed to move. The entry condition for the Level 1 area is Tier 4, and Level 2 is Tier 6. Generally speaking, most hunters are active in the Level 1 area, and only the best among them, Only dare to enter the 2nd level area. The 3rd level area is the battlefield between us and other races. Hunters are usually not allowed to enter here, but it is not ruled out that some solo travelers will go deep into this area."
In Vader's narration, Zero has a general understanding of the black land.
The council divided the black land into several areas. Level 1 to level 2 areas belonged to hunting areas, and level 3 areas were battlefields, which were also the front line of fighting against alien races. In the past, the army of the parliament would advance to this area and stop, but Xiu Ya's arrival broke this pattern. That talented girl forced the battlefield into the depths of the 4th-level area and the edge of the 5th-level area.
As a result, a large number of alien races migrated and hid in the hinterland of the black earth for the protection of other powerful races. As a result, the hunting grounds in the tier 1 and tier 2 areas had already existed in name only, and even the tier 3 areas didn't have many villages of foreign races. This is also one of the reasons for the depression in Elk Town. Most of the hunters only have the strength of the fourth to sixth level, and some who have the seventh level can only linger in the third level area.
But now, the foreign race is almost reduced to the level 5 area. The marking conditions for entering there are as high as eighth rank, although it is only raised by one rank, all hunters are brushed down. The eighth level is a watershed, if you have the strength of the eighth level, then you are a high level. How could a high-level hunter be a hunter? No matter if it is the council or the Hall of Valor, every high-level person can get the corresponding authority and resources. If it is converted into wealth, it is definitely not something that a high-level hunter can have.
Before, Xiu Ya was fighting in the 4th level area. Hunters can also follow the army into the area to pick up leaks. But after the war between the council and the Hall of Valor, most of the army in Elk Town was withdrawn back to the front line. Even the first knight slapped his ass and ran away. How could any hunter dare to enter the level 4 area.
Perhaps it was scared of Xiu Ya, even though the council had withdrawn their troops, the alien races didn't seem to have any plans to withdraw from the 4th-level district, which resulted in the current situation.
"So, if you are here for hunting, then I can only say that you have come at a very bad time." Vader patted Zero's arm with a regretful expression and said, "With your strength, captain, it is impossible to enter the third-level area." Problem. But those damn things are now hiding in the 4th level area. There are some powerful races there. For example, the Azakhs with four arms and born to be fucking jungle hunters. If you bump into them, I guess you will Bring it back and boil it hot."
"Listen to my advice, don't go hunting."
Nodding his head, he said, "Master Gu Jia is a stubborn person. That's fine. Let's register and enter tomorrow. We'll walk around the 3rd-level area and make a show before turning back. This will make the old man feel better."
"Alright, I'll come to the hotel tomorrow morning to find you. For the sake of beer, I'll take you to register. The procedure will be much simpler."
"That's it, let's drink."
The two wine glasses collided in the air and made a "dang" sound.
The night slowly came to an end, and when the eastern sky was gradually revealing its light, the door of Zero's room was knocked loudly. He got out of bed, conveniently put a quilt to cover Lia's white pink back, and then opened the door. Standing outside the door was Mo Ni. The girl looked anxious, holding a note in her hand.
"What's wrong?" Zero asked.
Moni slipped the note to him and said, "Girutan is gone."
Zero frowned slightly, and picked up the note. Scrawled on it was: I still don't trust those humans, Moni, I'm going back to my clan to warn my people. You let them go, otherwise meeting in the black land is war.
"Just now, he threw this note into my window. When I came to my senses, he had already left." Mo Ni stomped anxiously: "Why can't he trust you, no, I'll go now It should be too late to chase him."
Ling stretched out his hand, grabbed the girl who was about to leave, shook his head and said, "Moni, don't chase after. After all, we are not of the same race, and it is normal that we cannot be trusted."
"So what are you going to do?" Monnie asked.
"The black land still has to go, and it's today. But..." Ling looked at the girl and said, "You should stay in the village, otherwise your position will become very awkward in the black land."
Moni is the only human that Girutan believes in, and she also participated in the war against the Scarlet Knight as the Silver Ranger. Zero didn't want to put the girl in a difficult situation, and Moni seemed to understand that. She finally just sighed and nodded in agreement with Zero's decision.
So after going through the relevant procedures, the convoy set off, drove past the blood cavalry camp, and entered the gray buffer zone separated from the black land. Then there was no silver-haired girl on a certain off-road vehicle.
Moni and Guja stayed in the town. She stood on the balcony of the hotel room looking in the direction of the black earth, wondering if she would have a chance to see Girutan again. That boy has already returned to the depths of the black earth, when and where will it be when we meet again? Thinking of this, the melancholy in the girl's heart gradually melted away.
