Chapter 136: Turbulence at the Gathering Point
Chapter 136: Turbulence at the Gathering Point
After getting rid of those tails, the four of them continued walking and finally arrived at the city gate of the gathering point as the sky gradually darkened in the evening.
Looking at the city walls and gates built of wood, I suddenly had an ominous feeling. The city gates and walls of the previous gathering point were also built of wood, but after encountering the Devil's Claw Bear, everyone in the gathering point had no choice but to flee for their lives, which shows that it is not very strong.
"Stop! To enter here, everyone needs to hand over five points from the Jade Tablet!"
Suddenly, a man guarding the city gate stopped Ye Qi and his group and asked for a toll, which made everyone confused.
Five points are not a lot for them. After all, it takes one hundred points to upgrade to one level. However, if they give it up for no reason, no matter how little meat they gain, it is cut from their own bodies!
"Is your behavior considered a loophole in the rules?" Qingqing stared at the man collecting tolls in front of her with an unwilling look and questioned.
The man looked at her with disdain and chuckled, "Killing people for points is allowed here. How can we be considered breaking the rules by charging a toll? Strength is everything. If you think you're better than us, then you can charge us a toll!"
While the man was speaking, several big men suddenly came out of the city gate, and behind them, there were also several people who remained motionless, but their eyes were always focused on this place, as if as long as a conflict broke out here, the people over there would be able to join in at any time!
"If you have something to say! If you have something to say!"
Seeing that Qingqing was straightforward and didn't know how to judge the situation, Ye Qi hurriedly stepped out to block the two of them. He took out a green jade tablet he had snatched before and handed it to the man in front of him. With a flattering smile on his face, he looked at Qingqing with disdain!
However, seeing that Ye Qi kept winking at him, although he hated this behavior and was unwilling to give up the points he had worked so hard to obtain, he had no better choice at this time. If Yaya was not there, he could just leave or have a good fight, even if both of them would suffer losses.
But he couldn't be so rash now. After all, he was not sure he could get away safely. Seeing that Ye Qi and Wu Bai had both surrendered, it would not be a good idea for him to continue to be so stubborn alone. So he had to transfer the points in his and Yaya's jade tablet to the toll collector!
"go in!"
The man blocking the road waved his arm, and the people behind him made way for him. But think about it, there is no very strict threshold for participating in the trial. Those who participate in the trial together in groups of three or five are stronger than those individual cultivators. Perhaps this mixed situation is also a test for Qiankun Academy.
As the saying goes, there are no fish in clear water. First, muddy the water. Only those who can stand out from it are the real strong ones!
After the four people entered the gathering point, they did not head towards the activation tower. After all, the gate of the gathering point had been occupied by someone privately. It went without saying that the activation tower had been activated. It was a disadvantage that they arrived late.
However, the way to obtain points here is not only to activate points at gathering points, but also to obtain points from arena matches. This is also the fun that the people from Qiankun Academy came up with. It allows them to learn from each other and use their strength to widen the gap between this mixed group of people. After all, if they only rely on normal points acquisition, there may be those speculators who will use tricks!
In this competition, in addition to the points deducted from the losers, the winners will be awarded points according to their ranking. After reaching a certain ranking, additional points will be awarded. This means that the winners will win more and the losers will lose the registration fee, making this event extremely popular in this trial.
"Qingqing! Didn't you say you wanted to come here? The competition is about to start, why don't you hurry up and sign up?" Ye Qi looked at Qingqing who was hesitating and asked puzzledly.
Wu Bai glanced at the two of them frankly, then said meaningfully, "Is there even a need to ask? She's afraid you'll secretly abduct Yaya while she's away!"
Ye Qi chuckled after hearing this, and looked at the woman in front of him with an incredible expression, saying, "Stupid woman! If I were really the kind of person you think I am, would I let a pretty girl like you walk here?"
Qingqing's face darkened after hearing this, but although the words in front of her made her want to chop him with a sword, it was just as he said, he had the chance but didn't do it, and now he was talking so openly about it, at least he had no reason to kidnap Yaya.
After all, if he had any other intentions, he could have just used force or Yaya to coerce and bribe himself in a place where no one was around. From this point of view, at least he would not hurt Yaya now!
"You misunderstood! I just feel that I'm wasting everyone's time because of me, and I feel..."
Before Qingqing could finish her words, Ye Qi interrupted her and turned around to take Yaya, who was still riding on the unicorn, away, saying, "After this is over, meet us at the entrance of the trading market. I'll take care of Yaya for you. Earn some points, and dinner will be your reward!"
"This guy, although he's a bit mean and deserves a beating, but compared to those stinky men, his character is pretty good!"
Qingqing looked at Yaya happily riding on the unicorn and following Ye Qi. She was indeed much happier than hiding around him. Following him around all these years, in order to avoid trouble, it was a bit too suppressing the playful nature of a girl of her age!
"A new round of competition is about to begin. Hurry up and pay your points if you want to register!"
The voice of a young man who was hosting the competition on the stage came into his ears, pulling Qingqing's thoughts back from Yaya. He then turned around, put on a black robe, and walked towards the registration and payment area.
On the other side, Ye Qi and his group, who had already walked away, were strolling casually on the streets of the gathering point. What was unexpected was that this place was just like the markets outside, with all kinds of things for sale.
The difference is that the transaction costs points instead of Yuanlingdan. However, if you want to earn points by doing business, you may have a chance to enter the top 50 if you are extremely lucky.
However, it is impossible to break into the top ten and enjoy the baptism of the winner. After all, those who are strong can gain points through various dangerous and challenging channels such as exploring ruins, hunting monsters, looking for spiritual herbs, and even robbing other people's jade tablets.
Although these methods may lead you to an irretrievable disaster, if you want to get it, you must have the determination to go all out and not be afraid of losing!
"Ye Qi! We're at the market, so I won't be accompanying you for now!"
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the market, Wu Bai inexplicably became a little nervous. It was the first time that he showed panic when he was as calm as water. However, everyone has their own secrets, so Ye Qi did not ask and just nodded.
Then he took a light leap and jumped onto the roof, and his figure disappeared from sight very quickly!
