Chapter 2021 Gathering strength
2021
boom!
Bang bang bang bang!
boom!
A sound of guns and cannons suddenly came from downstairs.
"What's going on?" Henry asked with a frown.
A subordinate rushed into Henry's room.
"Boss, a wave of people are coming to us. They are well-equipped and seem to be a professional mercenary team!" said the subordinate.
"Hmph, this must have been arranged by Cavendish. That guy must have set his sights on us when we entered the City of Fear. He thought, could he take me down this way? I thought too much, pass on the orders and use all the people we arranged to kill this wave of people!" Henry said.
"yes!!"
The fourth and fifth rings cannot help but heat weapons, so after the battle started, the sound of guns and cannons were everywhere.
At least dozens of people started a fierce gunfight in the streets and alleys of the Fifth Ring Road, during which various weapons were used, including rifles, pistols, and even fire sword bullets.
Living in the Fifth Ring Road has long been accustomed to the situation. They just hid at home and then looked at everything on the street with a very calm mood.
No one came out to care about this matter. In the City of Fear, gunfights are normal. Although today's gunfights seem a bit fierce,... isn't that also a gunfight?
At the same time, the Second Ring Road.
"Did you hear the sound?" Cavendish said proudly, "the person I arranged should have started an attack on Henry."
"Your ears are very good, and your voice is very low." Xu Taiping said.
"This time I arranged dozens of people, and I prepared a lot of weapons alone. I brought these people and weapons here in advance, so as to have the opportunity to use them. This time it would be best if I could kill Henry directly in the City of Fear!" said Cavendish.
"Killing him may not be that easy!" Xu Taiping shook his head and then walked towards a building next to him.
It was already dark at this time.
In the City of Fear, it gets dark very quickly.
Xu Taiping saw lights coming from a building next to him, so he walked towards that building. As for who was in the building, whether they would let them spend the night in the building at night, this is not what Xu Taiping had to consider.
The other side.
One ring, the Temple of Ghosts and Gods.
The Ghost General No. 15 walked to the door, suddenly stopped and his ears moved slightly.
"Someone is fighting fire on the Fourth and Five Ring Roads, and the scale is still very large." said the No. 15 ghost general.
"Whatever they are, they are all a group of ants." The No. 11 ghost general carried the two-blade giant axe and walked into the Ghost God Temple.
In the hall on the first floor of the Ghost God Temple.
All the ghost generals came here.
Each of these people has their own characteristics. There are seventeen people in total. Standing there, the aura on their bodies is very fierce.
At the front of the hall is a huge seat.
The whole seat is made of black iron. Due to winter, a layer of ice has formed on the entire seat, which looks like a throne of frost.
"Why is the convening order issued?" The No. 15 ghost general asked while walking in.
"I don't know either!" Ghost General No. 11 shrugged.
"Can't it be that the boss was killed??" Ghost General No. 3 asked with a joke on his face.
"How could the boss be killed?" Ghost General No. 6 shook his head and said.
"Why is Lao Ba not here?" asked the second ghost general.
"I don't know!" The people around shook their heads.
At this moment, the Ghost General No. 8 followed a man and walked out from behind the throne.
The man who was followed by the No. 8 ghost general looked like he was about forties, wearing a long chest-open gown and a black belt tied around his waist. His hair was longer, but he tied it up and combed it into a hairstyle that was a bit similar to the gangster warrior of the foot basin. He had a long knife around his waist, which looked a bit like a Tang Dao, and he was wearing a pair of gray cloth shoes under his feet, which looked very thin.
Such a dress will definitely be regarded as a lunatic when walking on the street in winter, because this dress is too unwarming and is almost the same in summer. In the City of Fear, it is dozens of degrees below zero. Such a dress will be frozen to death in less than a few minutes, but for this man, such a dress has been several years.
There is not much difference between hot and cold for him.
"Ghost King!"
"Boss of Ghost King!"
When everyone saw the man, they shouted.
This man is the ghost king of the City of Fear.
The monarch of the entire City of Fear was also the No. 17 ghost general who broke Xu Taiping's leg.
The Ghost King walked to the throne with a expressionless face, then sat down.
Several other ghost generals also sat in the seats under the throne.
"Boss of Ghost King, you issued a convening order to call us all back. Is there anything wrong?" asked the Ghost General No. 3.
"Tell me, Xiao Ba." The Ghost King said, his voice was very low.
"Let me say it." The Ghost General No. 8 stood up and said, "Everyone knows that I am responsible for guarding the entrance from the Third Ring Road to the Second Ring Road. Anyone who can push the entrance door of the Second Ring Road can enter the Second Ring Road. Just now, a person appeared at the entrance of the Second Ring Road. This person pushed open the door and led two people into the Second Ring Road."
"What's the matter? I pushed open the door with one hand!" The No. 11 ghost general said disdainfully.
"Didn't you hear the point clearly? No. 8 said that the man brought two people into the Second Ring Road. If he wanted to bring two people into the Second Ring Road, the man had to open the door that was sixteen times more difficult to open. I'm right?" said the ghost general of No. 15.
"That's right, that person did open the door that was sixteen times more difficult to open. Moreover, the door was more than sixteen times more difficult to open at that time, because it is winter now, and the door is frozen, and the difficulty of opening is higher than usual. On this basis, it is sixteen times more difficult to open. I think... Even the boss of the Ghost King can't open it, right?" No. 8 said.
"I can open it." said the Ghost King.
"Then I think, except for Lord Ghost King, no one else present can open it, right?" said the Ghost General No. 8.
"I will open up to four times." said the No. 11 ghost general.
"Sixteen times, that's not something that ordinary people can open. I guess only the boss can open it in the entire City of Fear." said the Ghost General No. 3.
"Can't it be that the door is broken?" asked the No. 15 ghost general.
"The door is not broken, I tried it myself, and after he opened the door, a scene that shocked me even more happened. He... actually supported the door with one hand... Although it was the most difficult to open the door, it was definitely much more difficult to use one hand to support the door with two hands. This new person entering the Second Ring Road is definitely a master!!" The ghost general No. 8 said with a serious expression.
"Did that person bring a man and a woman?" Ghost General No. 3 suddenly asked.
"Yes, have you seen them?" asked the Ghost General No. 8.
"I've seen it, in the ghost hunting ground." No. 3 said.
"Ghost Hunting? It's true that I'm thinking right!" Ghost General No. 8 said seriously, "That person should have come for Lord Ghost King!!"
"Come for Lord Ghost King?"
Everyone present looked at the Ghost King.
The Ghost King is the king of the entire City of Fear. He formulated and controlled the rules of the entire City of Fear. Moreover, the Ghost King also occupied the underground ninth floor of the Ghost King. There is the most active place for ghosts. There will be ghosts almost all the time every night. Therefore, on the underground ninth floor, the progress of strength is very terrifying.
This is also an important reason why some people want to be the Ghost King.
All ghost generals exist with dependence on the Ghost King. They are superiors and subordinates, and at the same time they are also a community of interests. There are the most ghosts in the Ghost God Temple. Each ghost general can get huge benefits at their level. They advance and retreat together to maintain the Ghost King's status in the City of Fear. Once the Ghost King is defeated and the new Ghost King is replaced, they may be deprived of their identity as Ghost General and become ordinary ghost soldiers. Then some powerful people will become new Ghost Generals and live in the Ghost God Temple.
This is something that no ghost will allow.
Therefore, the enemy of the Ghost King is actually the enemy of all the Ghost Generals.
Many of the challengers of the Ghost King who appeared before were not very strong. The strongest one was the number one killer on the Second Ring Road. That person almost killed the Ghost King, but unfortunately, he was eventually killed by the Ghost King. At that time, all the ghost generals were shocked and sweated. Now, there is a person who can open the door of 16 times the difficulty. Will this person also threaten the status of the Ghost King?
"I think you all understand the meaning of the Ghost King's summoning order? The appearance of such a character is completely beyond our control. If he loses to Ghost King tomorrow, it would be fine. What if he defeated Ghost King?" Ghost General No. 8 asked with a serious expression.
"He can't be allowed to defeat Lord Ghost King." Ghost General No. 11 said loudly.
"We must never let him become the new ghost king!" said the No. 15 ghost general.
"Sir Ghost King, do you have any plans?" Ghost General No. 8 asked as he looked at the Ghost King.
"The other party can open the door that is sixteen times more difficult to open, and its strength is definitely above you. And you told me before that No. 7 suddenly went crazy, but in front of that person, the person just scolded him and scared No. 7 away. We all know that No. 7 is crazy, and sometimes even my words may not be heard. No. 7's perception of danger is far more than you and me. The person who can scare him away in one sentence is definitely a super expert." said the Ghost King.
Everyone here nodded and agreed with the Ghost King's words.
"Actually, I don't mind fighting with the other party tomorrow, because I won't lose." said the Ghost King.
"My Ghost King, you can't fight a war that you are not sure!" someone immediately said.
"I know you won't let me do this, but let you kill each other? If the other party has my strength, do you think you can beat him?" said the Ghost King.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, but they didn't dare to say that they could win.
"So, the best way is to follow me tonight, find that person, gather the strength of all of us, and directly kill him." The Ghost King said coldly.
“Agree!”
"Agree!" everyone said.
