Qing Huo Qiming looked at the one-armed man and explained, "We've chosen a star general through the Star General Selection Ceremony. This man from the blue sky will be the master of the game, representing the Qing Huo Tribe in the game of life and death. The chief told me to bring him here to choose warriors. "
When the one-armed man heard this, he only snorted, "At least it's a little useful."
He stepped aside.
Jiang Wang and Qing Huo Qiming walked in before he closed the metal door again.
"The doors here are closed as much as possible to prevent the starbeasts from running out," Qing Huo Qiming explained to Jiang Wang.
"What happens if they run out?" Jiang Wang asked.
"If the starbeasts are exposed to the blue sky and come into contact with the Light of Heavenly Pivot … it'll be a disaster."
Qing Huo Qiming didn't describe the disaster in detail, but his expression of lingering fear was enough to imagine the extent of the disaster.
This place was like a giant underground cavern.
At first glance, it looked like countless torches were raised high in the night.
Now that they were inside, they could see that there were people under the flames. To be more precise, there was a flame floating above every warrior's head, whether they were sitting or standing.
"This is the manifestation of their totemic origins. They're using it to recuperate." Qing Huo Qiming explained, then added, "Our warriors will only use their totemic origins when they're in dire straits. The battle just now … must have been intense. "
Jiang Wang could sense the difficulty of the battle even without Qing Huo Qiming's explanation.
Almost every one of the warriors sitting or lying down was injured.
Some of them were lying on the ground, snoring loudly. They were probably following some sort of rotation system.
There were about a thousand Qing Huo Tribe warriors in the entire cavern. They were all extraordinary fighters, more than Jiang Wang had imagined. This raised his evaluation of the void continent's strength once more.
When Qing Huo Qiming led Jiang Wang through the crowd, no one paid them any attention.
This shaman of the Qing Huo Tribe didn't seem to be very popular. The warriors guarding the fort didn't respect him enough either.
Qing Huo Qiming didn't seem to care, or perhaps he wasn't in the mood to care.
Jiang Wang noticed that he was trembling.
It was a tremor of fear.
He must have experienced something. Otherwise, with his status and strength, he should not be so fearful of the Catacombs.
Qing Huo Gao Chi had purposely asked Qing Huo Qiming to lead Jiang Wang to the Wuzhi Catacombs. It was probably because he wanted to solve his problem.
In an environment like the void continent, there was nothing to worry about. A Shaman Priest who could not enter the Catacombs was undoubtedly difficult to convince.
The one-armed warrior did not speak along the way. He only brought them to a man with a full beard.
"The patriarch sent me here to pick people to participate in the life and death game," he said concisely.
"Pick people? What's there to be picky about? "The bearded man was furious and impolite." Does he know how tight the manpower here is? "It's a waste of time to transfer people to the Life and Death Chess. If we don't guard the Catacombs, do we want the Qing Huo Division to perish?"
The one-armed warrior turned to look at Qiming, allowing him to explain himself.
"I hosted the Star General Selection Ceremony and welcomed the Blue Sky Visitor," Qing Huo Qiming said.
Only then did the bearded man size up Jiang Wang. His expression softened slightly. "Even so, you shouldn't have come to the Wuzhi Catacombs. Just pick some people from the clan. If you can get a dozen or so places in the life and death game, the next hundred years will be much easier. "
Qing Huo Qiming didn't seem to have much confidence in front of this person. He said hesitantly, "This time, we want to guarantee three out of five."
"The patriarch said it himself?" The bearded man asked.
"The patriarch personally fought with him."
The bearded man immediately fell silent.
He turned around and silently looked behind him.
In the spacious Catacombs, the ground rose and fell. Walking here, Jiang Wang finally saw a giant pit not far behind the bearded man.
Inside the giant pit, it was as dark as ink. It was so thick that it could not be dispersed.
Jiang Wang walked forward a few steps. Even with his best eyesight, he could not see the end of the darkness.
Was this "You Tian"?
Other than darkness, there seemed to be nothing.
This giant pit was where the real "Catacombs" was.
As the leader of the warriors of the entire Wuzhi Catacombs, the bearded man stood at the very front.
Jiang Wang still wanted to get closer for a look, but the bearded man reached out and stopped him. "Don't get any closer. You're very important now. Nothing can happen to you."
Jiang Wang listened and didn't move, but he asked, "Will it be dangerous to just stand there?"
"No one can say for sure when the star beasts will swarm up." The bearded man paused and said, "Since the patriarch recognizes your strength, then it's worth our warriors risking their lives for. You go and pick someone. Anyone is fine. "
"You won't get anything out of choosing like this," Jiang Wang said. "I need to see their battle."
The bearded man's expression was solemn. "This isn't a performance, and it's definitely not a game. Once the battle starts, we won't have anyone to protect you. "
"I don't need anyone to protect me. I'm also a warrior," Jiang Wang said. "If we want to fight side by side in the life and death game, we might as well start here."
That one armed warrior laughed hoarsely. "You're a bit like a warrior, but you're a bit skinny."
These words had a hidden meaning.
Qing Huo Qi Ming said, "No, you can't take this risk. It's not easy to get a good ranking in the life and death game. Our Qing Huo Tribe can't take this risk! "
The one armed warrior looked at him rudely. "Is it him who can't take the risk, or is it you who can't take the risk?"
"You!" Qing Huo Qi Ming's face turned red as he looked at him in rage. This rage was mixed with fear and shame.
The one armed warrior didn't have any intention of retreating.
"Alright, Master Shaman." Jiang Wang reached out and patted Qing Huo Qi Ming's shoulder. He didn't want to see him in a bad spot. "I've already decided. At the very least, we need to experience a battle here before we can choose someone to go to the life and death game with me. Go back and tell your patriarch for me. "
"That's right." The one armed warrior laughed coldly. "Go back and hide in the patriarch's embrace."
"I'm not leaving!" Qing Huo Qi Ming suddenly shouted. He gritted his teeth and said, "Qing Huo Yuanchen, don't think that I don't dare! Isn't it just You Tian? "
He couldn't deny the fear he felt when facing You Tian, but he also couldn't take such a direct humiliation. As the shaman, it was fine if he was ignored. How could he take being pointed at and spat at?
"That's enough." The full bearded man spoke at this time. "Qing Huo Qi Ming, go back. The shaman should stay in the fire temple and not the underground cavern."
"Uncle Heng, I'm not a coward!" Qing Huo Qi Ming said with red eyes. "Do you think that I'm a coward too?"
The full bearded man didn't speak.
"I won't leave." Qing Huo Qi Ming said word by word.
The full bearded man didn't look like a very patient person. He only said, "Then do as you wish."
The one armed warrior called Qing Huo Yuanchen was very obedient. The full bearded man told him to stop, so he didn't provoke Qing Huo Qi Ming anymore. He only said to Jiang Wang, "This brother, I don't know when the next wave of star beasts will come. Where will you wait? We have a set battle order, and we need to know where we are. "
Jiang Wang looked at Qing Huo Qi Ming and said, "I'll go with him."
After all, the two were relatively familiar with each other, and the fire totem on his back was given by Qing Huo Qi Ming. He was closer to Qing Huo Qi Ming in his heart.
It was just that Qing Huo Qi Ming's position in the underground cavern was hard to understand.
Jiang Wang actually wanted to stay at the edge of the underground cavern so that he could come into contact with the star beasts immediately. But he took Qing Huo Qi Ming into consideration, so he walked back.
In the area that Qing Huo Yuanchen had set, he found a place to sit down and placed his sword on his knees.
Qing Huo Qi Ming sat silently by his side.
"Tell me." Jiang Wang purposely found a topic to talk about. "Why don't you guys close the underground cavern? Cast a large piece of metal and cover the cavern. "
Qing Huo Qi Ming still hadn't calmed down, but he still explained, "Anything that blocks the entrance will disappear, including people. So don't fall in. If you fall, it'll be gone. "
"I see." Jiang Wang nodded. "I'll pay attention."
Qing Huo Qi Ming seemed to have opened his mouth.
He looked in the direction of the cavern.
"Do you know? Actually, I've wanted to come here since I was young. "
