Crossing: Leading everyone to survive

Gu Chengming looked in the direction of the other companions. Jiang Yingxue was fighting a large group of third-level orcs with the Broken Snow Sword, and Lin Muyao was also flying slowly into the sky under the protection of the Blue Skylark.

Xie Gu Huai was in a fierce battle with the giant-bone dark tiger.

It seems like I have nothing to do.

It is worth mentioning that in order to verify the strength of Liujing, Gu Chengming got excited and directly challenged three fourth-order shadow soldiers, Titan, Haoyue and Sar. Without any hesitation from them, Gu Chengming won by a narrow margin.

Therefore, with his current strength, he would not be able to obtain any concrete improvement if he continued here. Thinking of this, he returned his consciousness to his body.

Looking at Hongyu who was still bathed in flames, it seemed like they had stayed in this tent for a long time.

Looking down, several pairs of glowing eyes flashed from the shadows, and several Garo slowly emerged from the shadows. Garo have a strong sense of the outside world and can immediately detect if outsiders are approaching them. Unfortunately, their fighting ability is not that good.

Thinking this way, Gu Chengming summoned Haoyue and Sar. With these two around, there should be no more accidents.

There has been quite a bit of commotion outside these days, so he plans to go outside and take a look.

After getting everything ready, he walked out.

As soon as the curtain was opened, the strong sunlight made him unable to open his eyes. Then, a regular and low sound of footsteps came into his ears. Gu Chengming half-squinted his eyes and saw dozens of people wearing blood-red armor armed to the teeth walking past him.

Looking at their departing backs, Gu Chengming's mouth twitched slightly.

"Are all of them at the Tianwu realm? What a grand deal."

"That's the Red Flame Army, one of the elite legions of the Huoyun Nation. The minimum requirement to join is the Tianwu Realm," Tang Xinggu came over and introduced him.

Seeing Gu Chengming looking at him, he waved his hand and said, "What a coincidence."

"Yeah," Gu Chengming nodded slightly. He wouldn't believe that there was such a coincidence, but it just so happened that he needed a guide.

"Can you take me for a walk?" Gu Chengming asked softly.

"certainly".

"In the past few days, the legions from the upper city have arrived one after another. At the same time, the area where we are located has also undergone a series of expansions. With the help of the dwarves, the construction speed is also very fast."

Gu Chengming looked around after hearing this. Indeed, compared with the previous one, the area was much larger, and the surrounding buildings had been renovated. There were no tents on the road.

"We did not disturb you because you were practicing, but we have already arranged a residence for you and you can move in at any time," said Tang Xinggu.

"Huh"!

Gu Chengming suddenly noticed an area of ​​woods and stopped out of curiosity.

"This is an area specially set up in the upper city for the fairies. The fairies are one of the races that have signed a cooperation treaty with the human race. They are good at making healing potions and cultivating tree people. In the upcoming war, the main force in the early stage will also be these large number of tree people."

At this moment, Gu Chengming also noticed the busy little figures in the bushes. They were only the size of a palm, with a pair of small wings on their backs, and their bodies emitted faint light like fireflies.

Just as he stood there observing, a huge body suddenly bumped into him. Gu Chengming turned his head and looked over, his eyes flashing purple. Then, the attacker appeared in his hands, and the surrounding shadows gradually gathered here.

"Oh, I bumped into you, sorry." The person who came was purple and black all over. After realizing that he bumped into someone, his six arms became at a loss.

"Tarot, I told you to follow us closely," a delicate voice was heard, and a red-haired girl in a scarlet fire dress and holding a spear stepped forward quickly, stood in front of Tarot, and bowed deeply to him.

"This big idiot has always been unable to control the distance between himself and others. I'm very sorry for causing you trouble," the red-haired girl spoke quickly, and it seemed that this was not the first time she had done this.

Gu Chengming stared over, and when he failed to detect the murderous intent emanating from the people in front of him, he quietly hid the dagger in his hand, and then revealed a faint smile.

"It's okay, I'm not hurt at all."

The red-haired girl smiled with relief after hearing this, but she stared at Gu Chengming's body with curiosity. This was the first time in all the time she had known Tarot that she had seen a human being who had not been knocked to the ground by it.

"Then I'll take my leave if there's nothing else," Gu Chengming said as he walked around them and walked to the back, and Tang Xinggu followed closely behind him.

"Goodbye," the red-haired girl waved her hand.

"Interesting," the blindfolded boy with a huge scabbard on his back said slowly as he looked at Gu Chengming's departing back.

"What's up, Yichen, are you interested?" The red-haired girl restrained her smile, her flawless white eyes suddenly became cold, and she turned her head to look in response.

Tang Yichen smiled lightly at this.

"He can mobilize the shadows around him, and his body is strong enough to withstand the impact of Tarot. Are you not interested?"

"Tarot, how much strength did you use at that time?" the red-haired girl turned to look at the tall man beside her.

Taro stroked the arm that had hit Gu Chengming.

"Five points," he said excitedly, showing his sharp teeth, "I'm really looking forward to fighting him."

"Hu~", Gu Chengming exhaled deeply. The moment he realized that the big guy was rushing towards him, he covered his whole body with dark power in advance, otherwise he would definitely be sent flying backwards.

And that collision was definitely not accidental. The big guy had already started to accumulate strength when he was about to hit him, which means he was specifically targeting him. Thinking of this, Gu Chengming's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Do you know, those two people just now seemed to be Tang Yichen and Yan Xiaohong, they are geniuses on the Tianjiao List," Tang Xinggu seemed to have not yet reacted to the shock just now, and he was still excited.

"The Tianjiao List?" Gu Chengming asked in a low voice.

"Yes," Tang Xinggu seemed not to notice Gu Chengming's gloomy expression and continued to talk.

"Because the territory of Shangcheng is vast, it is divided into four major countries above and eight major sects below. There are countless large and small sects among them. In order to inspire the younger generation, under the leadership of the Human Emperor, the Tianjiao List was born, and those on the list are all the best of the younger generation."

"Human Emperor"?

"Oh, I forgot to introduce. The Human Emperor is the supreme ruler of the Upper City. And..." Tang Xinggu said and quickly covered his mouth as if he thought of something.

After hearing this, Gu Chengming's eyes became even darker.

Sure enough, it was just as he thought.

The people in Shangcheng definitely couldn't be unaware of the Human Emperor, and the fact that Tang Xinggu could introduce him so calmly showed that he already knew that they were outsiders, and he must have been sent by Mu Yunzhou to introduce the situation here to him.

This means that the three people just now were most likely sent by Mu Yunzhou to test his current strength.

Looking at Gu Chengming's eyes that were as dark as the abyss, Tang Xinggu subconsciously took a half step back.

"You..." Tang Xinggu looked at him in panic, but Gu Chengming's originally gloomy expression quickly turned into a smile.

"By the way, I have a question. How could Shangcheng, which has a supreme ruler, allow Huoyun Kingdom to have its own army?"

Tang Xinggu looked at Gu Chengming, whose expression changed rapidly, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

"This... We actually don't quite understand this. We are also curious why the Human Emperor gave the four major countries a high degree of autonomy. When the order was first issued, that generation thought it was the beginning of civil strife, but within the next hundred years, although the four countries became stronger and stronger, no rebellion occurred."

"Wait, what does a hundred years mean? Do you mean that this generation of the Human Emperor lived for a hundred years?" Gu Chengming asked in surprise.

"Maybe even longer. With the change of each generation of Human Emperor, the clock of Holy Emperor Mountain will ring. The sound will echo throughout every territory of Upper City. It is said that five hundred years have passed since the last time it rang."

"Five hundred years? Isn't this just an old monster..." Before Gu Chengming could finish his words, Tang Xinggu stepped forward and covered his mouth tightly.

"Brother...my brother, please don't say anything nonsense. I am still young and don't want to die so early."

"What are you afraid of? He can't hear you," Gu Chengming shook his head indifferently.

"No, what if he is there."

"Haven't you seen it?"

"I definitely haven't seen him. It is said that he hasn't shown his face for hundreds of years."

"Is that so?" Gu Chengming nodded thoughtfully.
