Nan Zhi was the first to walk over, followed by Xu Yinian. What came into view was a huge square with obsidian as the base. A large number of golden lines spread from the center of the square to all directions, and the undulating runes like mountains and rivers formed a huge square.

The traction array and the monsters holding the cursed beads will enter the free port from here.

The strong wind swept behind him, and Xu Yinian turned around, just in time to see the giant bird with outstretched bone wings flying rapidly by. The monsters passing by did not pay attention to the figure that blocked the sky, and continued chatting without being surprised.

"I bought a pair of dragon horns from the flea market yesterday. I heard that these horns originally belonged to a red dragon that did all kinds of evil."

"If it's genuine, then you've made a profit. Dragon horn is a very rare material."

"Brother, you are too arrogant. How can you buy a complete dragon horn at the flea market? When will the free port crack down on these fakes? I will be the first to thank Boss Yu."

"Come on, people don't bother to care about such trivial matters." The monster said, pointing to the chiselled white cliff in the distance. The castle at the highest point of the cliff is like a palace on the moon. "I even doubt whether there is a place in that place.

People live in…”

"Young Master Xu," Nan Zhi's voice sounded in Xu Yinian's ears, "There is a time difference between Freeport and the outside world. Do you want to rest now?"

Suddenly switching from the speed of life and death to sightseeing tour, Xu Yinian was a little out of state. Nan Zhi called him twice before he came back to his senses. The reactions of others were similar to his.

"No rest," Xu Yinian stared at the yawning mermaid in the fountain in the square, his eyes shining, "It's a rare trip, I must go to the arena to see it."

Xia Ziheng saw that he seemed to be going on a sightseeing trip to the Free Port immediately, and couldn't help but admire him: "It's half past eleven, Brother Xu, the mermaids are already sleepy, but you're not sleepy yet."

Chen Ran couldn't stand it anymore: "Let me tell you first, I want to rest."

Ye Qiao didn't say anything, but she followed the sleepy-looking mermaid and yawned.

"Then I will take you to the castle." After she finished speaking, she said to Xu Yinian alone, "If you have any questions, please contact me."

After Nan Zhi and the others left, Xu Yinian imitated a monster next to him and took a map.

He just opened the map, and an elf with transparent wings emerged from it. Xu Yinian stared at the palm-sized creature without blinking, and the elf stared straight at him. The two looked at each other, and the elf

He held his face happily.

"Oh, I'm so lucky. I haven't seen such a charming tourist for a long time. I am Map No. 10001 of Freeport. Where do you want to go?"

"Arena." To avoid finding the wrong place, Xu Yinian added, "The biggest and most famous one."

"Oak Mountain Arena? Then my suggestion is to wear thicker clothes and prepare enough money to set off." She said as she flew forward, "Follow me, there is a direct link through the city.

car."

"Wait a moment." A female voice interrupted, and Nan Zhi hurriedly ran to Xu Yinian, holding two brand-new shopping bags in her hands, "I almost forgot to tell you that different areas of the Free Port correspond to different seasons.

, it’s probably winter where you want to go.”

"!" Seeing Nan Zhi, Elf immediately straightened her back. She even flew a little higher, trying her best to show that she was working hard.

"Do you think this size is suitable? If you don't like the style of the clothes, I will accompany you to look at other ones."

"It's suitable, and the styles are pretty good-looking," Xu Yinian glanced at the clothes in the bag, a little embarrassed, "Sorry to trouble you."

"You are a guest invited by the boss. These are all things I should consider. You are welcome." Nan Zhi smiled and said, "Then I wish you a good time."

As a well-known monster city, Freeport is highly respected for another very important reason: Places where monsters gather in large numbers are usually prone to trouble. One of the most widely circulated city rules in Freeport is that it prohibits the use of force. This place is therefore

It is also nicknamed the safe zone.

In order to balance the constraints brought by city planning, there are various large and small arenas in the city. Among them, the Oak Hill Arena is the most famous, and its magnificent scale ranks first in both circles.

The entire arena is built within the trunk of a thousand-year-old oak tree. This incredibly large oak tree is also known as Oak Mountain. As the map elf said, winter has entered here, and there are falling snow on the canopy.

The cold natural landscape is completely opposite to the lively atmosphere inside the venue. As soon as Xu Yinian walked in, a waitress came forward with a roster.

In order to hide his appearance, Xu Yinian bought a half-covered mask before he came in. Many demon clansmen who came and went covered their faces like him, and some even wore black cloaks from head to toe. When she saw him coming in, the woman

The waiter was enthusiastic: "Is this your first time in Oak Mountain? What do you want to do? Do you want to try our sap beer? If you want to bet, just place your bet on Huang Ling on Channel 3. That player is here.

I’m a regular customer, and I heard that I’m still a friend of the boss.”

"Yu Huai's friend?"

The waitress nodded repeatedly and lowered her voice: "We are playing a group battle tonight. In each round, the contestants on stages one to ten will be rearranged until the final winner emerges. If you can bet on the final

For the winning player, the money bet will be doubled!"

As she spoke, other waiters passed by with trays: "Sap beer, an Oak Mountain specialty."

“The best alcoholic beverage in Freeport! Only in Oak Mountain!”

"Does anyone else want to place a bet? The new round of competition will begin soon!" The banshee holding the sign was enchanting. She was wearing a slim suspender skirt and stilettos. When she saw Xu Yinian, the banshee asked casually, "

Handsome boy, do you want to try your luck?"

The waitress immediately glared at her: "This is my customer!"

"Okay, okay, I won't fight with you." The banshee holding the sign smiled sweetly, and Shi Shiran left.

Xu Yinian's eyes fell on the edge of the pool not far away. The huge translucent pool was inlaid at the bottom of the tree trunk, like a thick layer of ice condensed at the roots of the tree. Sitting in the pool were a dozen mermaids with skin as white as snow.

, a group of monsters with missing arms and legs gathered at the edge of the pool, howling miserably from time to time.

"That's the treatment point over there. Injured players will go there for treatment." The waitress introduced to him, "There is a film on the skin of mermaids. Touching this film can heal wounds, especially their tears, which are the most effective in the world.

One of the best remedies.”

"I've heard of it, but this is the first time I've seen it." Xu Yinian was quite surprised.

The mermaid in the pool was treating the wounded while chatting with his companions: "I'm working hard here to earn extra money. He was basking in the sun in the fountain of Obsidian Square because he didn't want to touch the male demon's hand. Why didn't he think about the whole Oak Mountain?"

There are not many female players! I have never seen such an unreliable man - Hey! Where are you putting your hands? If you touch them again, you will be broken!"

"Little sister, let's talk some sense," the monster, half of its body covered in blood and flesh, cried out in agony. "Your tail is swinging around. You can't blame me if I accidentally touch your waist."

The mermaid reluctantly stretched out her hand and motioned for him to take her arm.

Xu Yinian's eyes flickered and he saw the charging standard on the notice board.

——An arm costs 100,000 yuan, a thigh and calf start at 150,000 yuan, paralysis costs 500,000 yuan, and if your head falls off, turn left when you go out, and there is no charge in the cemetery.

He muttered in his mind: "Is it really legal here?"

Suddenly, passionate shouts came from all directions.

Two contestants reappeared on stage 3 that the waitress mentioned earlier. One of them, the Imperial Spirit, was tall and had golden demonic patterns on half of his cheeks. He waved and blew kisses to the audience in the stands very coquettishly, and talked to him.

The banshees who met each other's eyes screamed. This scene was more like a fan meeting than an arena match.

Monsters like the Imperial Spirit are hybrids that were only born in the past hundred years. There is no record of them in the monster illustrations from a hundred years ago. Almost all Imperial Spirits come from the boneyard, and the monsters that can survive in that ghost place are all monsters.

Naturally, every imperial spirit is an alien in the clan and possesses extraordinary strength.

Xu Yinian saw Huang Ling move his fingers twice, and the bones of his hand made a crisp sound when they moved. His opponent was a strong and strong Tanlang. Probably dissatisfied with the commotion caused by Huang Ling, Tanlang spat and took the lead.

Rushed out.

Facing the angry opponent, Huang Ling raised his little finger with a smile on his face.

That gesture of teasing the ants caused the audience to burst into ecstatic shouts. Xu Yinian stared at the arena intently. He could feel that this imperial spirit was very strong. Greedy Wolf was definitely not his opponent, but their fight required

How long? Ten minutes? No, maybe faster, maybe as long as three minutes——

When Greed Wolf rushed in front of Huang Ling, the place was silent for a moment.

Seeing clearly what happened, all kinds of screams almost brought down the ceiling of the arena.

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Twist it! Just twist it like this - break his neck for me!"

"Well done! Well done! I won the bet again this time! The final winner tonight must be Xie Qihan!"

"Thank you Qihan! Thank you Qihan!"

Xie Qihan lifted up the defenseless Tanlang with one hand. Compared with most of the audience who could not understand the way, Xu Yinian could clearly see how Xie Qihan blocked Tanlang's attack, and his hand

How to cover it with a layer of golden lines in a matter of seconds and hit Greedy Wolf's abdomen hard. If you guessed correctly, at that moment Huang Ling's arm muscles were as hard as steel.

Xu Yinian licked the tips of his teeth, and his blood gradually boiled with the screams in the stadium. Perhaps it was his nature or the influence of his destiny, he suddenly wanted to have a good fight.

The memories of when he was about ten years old are mostly unpleasant to him. At that time, his fortune was spread among the major families. His friends of the same age gradually distanced themselves from him by following the parents' hints. The elders of his relatives looked at his every move with a critical eye.

As soon as he moved, before he realized the seriousness of the matter, he thought that everything would pass.

As long as you don't make mistakes, over time, everyone will understand that fortune telling is completely nonsense.

Until that day, he had always thought so.

Xu Yinian had almost forgotten the details of that day. He only remembered that he happened to learn to draw thunder and lightning charms. He returned home happily and wanted to show his parents what he had learned.

As usual, he walked lightly from the corridor into the living room, and suddenly found that there were two more staff members from the Demon Slayer Bureau at home. He leaned against the corner and heard them asking Xu's father and Xu's mother:

"Has your child behaved in any unusual way?"

"Has he shown any violent tendencies? Has he harmed you unintentionally?"

"Compared with the average child, is he more likely to lose his temper?"

It turned out that the staff of the Demon Slayer Bureau were very kind to him, at least they never asked him such hurtful questions.

Countless negative emotions were washed down with anger, and finally turned into helpless loss.

He leaned his back against the cold wall, and finally slowly curled up into a ball. He shed tears silently while thinking.
