Chapter 13: The 13th Iron Pillar
"Please take your two skewers of barbecue." The hawker handed the barbecue over.
With two skewers of barbecued meat, New Moon holds one skewer in one hand.
The freshly baked barbecue is full of heat and aroma, and the seasoning sprinkled on it rises with the heat and penetrates people's olfactory nerves.
Regardless of whether it was hot or not, Xinyue took a bite.
Better than coyote meat, but not as good as the rabbit meat we ate in the tavern.
Well, it's alright.
"Sir..."
"Little sister, they don't have the money to support you, why don't you follow me, my brother will take you to eat and drink spicy food." A rough voice came.
The crescent moon, who was still eating barbecue, didn't lift her eyelids. She was eating well.
But Elvis and Shen Junlin looked over instantly.
It was a man as strong as a hill. His shoulders and backs were broad, but he had almost no neck, and he was not tall, so at first glance, he looked like a meat tank.
The man's dark cheeks were red, and he also had a strong smell of alcohol on his body. At first glance, he drank too much.
"Those who talk a lot tend to die the fastest." Elvis' eyes showed a bit of gloom.
The man suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly. His laugh was too exaggerated, and only a short section of his neck showed obvious blue veins, "The last person who dared to say the word 'death' to Lao Tzu was half a person. High."
A passerby whispered beside him.
"That seems to be Di Huang."
"Di Huang? Which Di Huang?"
"It's that Di Huang from the Arabella tribe! He is a famous mercenary in Crystal City, and his team once completed in four days. It's an A-level mission."
"I remembered after you said that, this Di Huang is a medium evolution body, and his strength is really good."
"..."
Elvis was outraged.
He has never been a good-natured person, let alone someone who offended the Bee Clan's Reverse Scales just now.
Standing aside with the barbecue, Xinyue saw Aivis rushing up. He was so fast that he even pulled out an afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Meat Tank Ke.
Elvis' slender and pale fingers stretched in an instant, turning into a knife as sharp as a sickle, digging directly towards the opponent's heart.
"Bee clan?!"
Someone exclaimed.
When Di Huang stepped forward to Elvis, he instinctively entered a state of battle.
His fist, the size of a sandbag, turned into giant black pincers with sharp serrations on the sides.
Many people do not doubt that these forceps can easily crush a person's skull.
New Moon took another bite of the barbecue in her hand, her cheeks bulging, like a little squirrel hoarding food.
She had no intention of making a move at all because she knew that Elvis could win.
Crescent wanted to see how long it would take the red-eyed drone to win.
Facts tell Crescent that Ivis only takes a few seconds.
At the same time that Di Huang turned his hands into giant pincers, a large piece of dark brown scales emerged from his heart, which firmly protected the vulnerable parts.
Meanwhile, Di Huang used his huge pincers to attack Isis.
However -
"Whoa!" Something suddenly unfolded.
Under the moonlit night, a thin left-wing popped out from the back of the red-eyed drone.
Obviously, the thin wings are not thick, but they are strangely full of strength, and instantly block the big pincers of the opponent's attack.
And Aivis has turned into a scythe's fingers, piercing the armour on the opponent's chest.
New Moon raised an eyebrow.
Not bad, okay.
"My god of the universe, when did someone like this come to Crystal City..."
"I'll just say, how can someone who can have such a beautiful girl be a Zhan Wu scum. Hey, Di Huang is killing himself. "
I can't blame him. After all, there has never been such a beautiful girl in Crystal City. Think about it, if the robbery was successful, it would be much more..."
The words behind the passerby stopped abruptly, just because he had just killed him. The drone of the opponent looked at it sharply.
Those surly blood pupils had no warmth at all as if they were looking at a dead object.
The passerby swallowed hard, and his mind was spinning fast, and he changed the subject when he spoke again, "Your Excellency, have you been to the management tower? If you haven't, hurry up and register there."
Xinyue swallowed her mouth ."Where is the management tower?" The
pretty little girl asked her, and the passerby who was shivering just now was no longer afraid.
As if to prove that he is strong, the passerby straightened his back, "It's there, the most conspicuous place." The
new moon looked in the direction he pointed and saw a tower like a giant tree rising from the ground. stand in the distance.
The tower is very unique. The tower body is irregularly inlaid with luminous stones. From a distance, it seems to be an incomplete but stubborn sentry.
"There is the management tower of Crystal City, surrounded by managers." The man said.
Xinyue looked at it for a while, "Is there anyone working there all day?"
Passersby spread their hands, "It stands to reason that there is, but in the current environment, who knows."
Xinyue nodded and understood.
Since it's 24-hour work, I'll be there later.
The Acapella clan who fell in a pool of blood had lost their breath.
Like other towns in Exile, this place believes in the law of the jungle and is only strong enough to survive.
However, Crystal City is better than other towns. There are patrols here during the day, and all deadly fights on the streets are prohibited.
But it doesn't matter after nightfall.
After determining the location of the management tower, the new moon went there.
As soon as she left, Shen Junlin naturally followed.
Avis, who was carefully wiping his hands with a handkerchief by the side, hurriedly threw the dirty handkerchief away and immediately followed.
"I feel that there is something strange about them..." A passerby murmured while looking at their distant backs.
But no one could answer his words.
This street is a snack street, and Xinyue, who decided to go to the management tower, didn't think about going in a hurry.
"The last day's special, the last day's special! The original price is five yuan, and now it only costs four yuan, the refreshing and non-sticky black snake meat, comes and have a look~"
The barbecue in his hand has only eaten half a skewer, but this does not hinder the new moon Go to the stall.
When the vendor saw the crescent moon coming over, he grinned, "Girl, would you like black snake meat? This black snake meat tastes very good, and it doesn't cost money.
" Golden yellow, the meaty aroma wafted out.
Xinyue nodded, "Here's one."
This time, without waiting for her to pay, a hand with sharp bones took the lead in handing over the banknotes.
Xinyue turned her head and found that it was Shen Junlin, who smiled slightly at her, "Do you only want one? Why don't you have two, I'll help you with the more."
Xinyue's eyes lit up.
Aivis, who was next to him, gritted his teeth.
Damn, bully him for not having cash, right?
"You've eaten the fang-toothed rabbit's barbecue before, can I buy you two skewers?" Shen Junlin smiled softly.
Xinyue nodded immediately, "That's delicious." It
was the first time Shen Junlin saw Xinyue express his love for a certain food so intuitively, so he simply said, "Buy a few more strings and let him get a small paper tube. Put it together and I'll take it for you."
Xinyue nodded, she took out the banknotes she had earned in the black market, but like last time, Shen Junlin handed over the money first.
Xinyue raised her eyebrows and said in a proud tone, "I can afford this."
"I know, but please believe that anyone in my family is honoured to be able to spend money for you." Shen Junlin hooked his lips.
This is indeed the truth.
Just like more than 70 years ago, Her Majesty the Queen wanted the jewel of the sea crown, so the bee tribe rushed out regardless of casualties.
Even if there are countless casualties, in the eyes of the bee clan, it is indeed an honour to be able to go on an expedition.
"My dear, I can also buy you anything." Elvis was unwilling.
Soon after, a very strange scene appeared on the street.
Two tall, handsome men followed behind a beautiful girl in fancy clothes who looked like a pet.
The two men were slightly behind the girl by half a step, with various snacks in their hands.
Occasionally, the black-haired girl stopped in front of a certain stall. After she harvested the snacks again, it seemed that the man who was a servant took the initiative to take the girl's newly bought snacks.
Everything is harmonious, but also everything is weird and attracts a lot of attention.
The management tower is also known locally as the "white tower".
In the circle around the White Pagoda, almost all the most powerful people in Crystal City live.
Due to historical reasons, among these people, the bee clan accounts for the majority.
In the middle of the night, the sky was pitch black, and neither the stars nor the bright moon could be seen. After entering the White Pagoda area, the noise gradually faded away.
The suspended street lamps are inlaid with luminous stones, pointing to the road alone on this quiet night.
The three of the new moon came to the edge of the White Pagoda. There was a circle of protective electrified fences around the White Pagoda. There were doors open in all four directions. At this time of night, only one door remained open.
Someone came out of it.
It was a bee clan who was blind in one eye, probably due to poor genetics, or it might have been caused by a previous injury.
When the other party came out, his eyes turned around on the new moon, and there was a faint stun in his eyes.
It seems that when someone came to register, they even brought their pets with them.
They are all of the same clan, and the blind bee clan kindly reminded, "non-bee clan, can't go in. Otherwise, it will be a small matter to drive out, and it will be a big deal to lock you up."
New Moon stopped, thought about it, and asked him, "Are you talking to me?"
His eyes met.
Well, the other party is looking at her.
"I meet the conditions." After New Moon said, she continued to move forward.
The blind bee clan was stunned.
Is she a bee?
How, how is it possible, even if it is a worker bee, it cannot be this height?
It is well known that in all species, the worker bees of the bee family are quite well-built in stature among the females of all species.
Is it a mixed race?
Thinking of this, the blind bee clan sighed melancholy.
It's generation after generation.
In the long river of history, how glorious the pure-blooded ancestors are, where is it like now...
Maybe it won't take many years, they used to be in the top ten of the universe's strong clan, and they will be completely enslaved. lower race.
Sadness welled up in the eyes of the blind bee clan.
Everything is life, and no one can't help it.
