Chapter 257 Chapter 12.1 The Rain of Blood (2)
Chapter 257 Chapter 12.1 The Rain of Blood ([-])
The city defense army is different from ordinary soldiers. They are all composed of soul masters and are equipped with attack soul guidance devices. Each one is well-trained and is an army created only to protect the inner city.
At this moment, the soul masters of the city defense army arrived at the slums of the outer city.
Li Changsheng didn't care about this. He spread a small piece of chicken steak evenly with the sauce, wiped a little off on the rice, and slowly put it into his mouth with chopsticks.
A hint of sweetness, mixed with a hint of spiciness, the complex taste exploded in Li Changsheng's mouth.
"Hmm, it's surprisingly delicious."
Li Changsheng narrowed his eyes and praised in a surprised tone.
Although it was not as tender as the fried chicken steak fried by Shen Yueliang, it had the flavor of a roadside stall in his previous life, which made Li Changsheng feel nostalgic.
clack clack...
A group of city defense troops walked into the hotel.
"All soul masters go out for inspection!"
The leader, a middle-aged man in armor, held the iron sword at his waist with one hand and covered his mouth and nose with the other, shouting.
"What, what's wrong? Why does the soul master need to be examined?"
A soul master sitting at the door asked slightly uneasily.
The soldier glanced at the soul master and found that he was a soul master, and his expression became slightly relieved.
"We don't know, but that's what is stipulated above. All soul masters living in this area must be inspected individually."
The soul master soldiers are basically here to maintain order.The rest is left to the ordinary soldiers who follow the city defense army.
At the same time, another group of soldiers climbed to the second floor, probably to search for any soul masters.
The soul master can tell it at a glance.
Although you can't know the other party's soul power level.
Li Changsheng ate his rice in mouthfuls.
"Please come outside and get checked."
A soldier came over and confirmed several times that Li Changsheng was indeed a soul master, so he made a request to Li Changsheng.
Unlike how soul masters and soldiers treat ordinary residents, although there are regulations from above, it is best not to provoke any soul masters as much as possible.
"Oh that's fine."
Taking out a tissue and wiping the corners of his mouth, Li Changsheng felt that he was very satisfied with the meal, and his mood naturally improved a lot, so he responded with a smile.
As the Romans do in the countryside, Li Changsheng felt that since he came here, he must abide by the rules of the Star Luo Empire.
Besides, their attitude is also quite good.
Li Changsheng stood up and walked out of the hotel under the grateful eyes of ordinary soldiers.
There were other soul masters in the hotel with him, but their levels were all very low.
There were also some soul masters who were brought out from the main room of the hotel.
Walking onto the street, Li Changsheng found that many soul masters had been called out.
Whether they were soul masters in shops or residential buildings, they were all brought out.
"So many city defense troops were actually dispatched?"
"It feels like something big is going to happen."
"Don't worry. We have so many soul masters, even the Star Luo Empire doesn't dare to do anything to us! If everyone wants to resist together, these city defense troops are not enough."
The voices of other soul masters discussing could be heard around him.
Li Changsheng felt that it was very dangerous for these guys to have such thoughts.
So he hurried away from them.
Soon, the gathered soul masters were taken to a temporary open-air garbage disposal site in a slum area.
Li Changsheng was immediately speechless.
This is a temporary place to put garbage.
In this era, people generally began to pursue life, and the habit of throwing garbage everywhere disappeared. Instead, many trash cans were set up. Although the same was true in the slums, it was obvious that this place had become a temporary storage place for garbage in the entire royal capital. , waiting to be transported out of the royal capital the next day.
There are many soul masters.
There are almost two hundred of them.
Some of them have always lived here.Most of them came from other places, just to watch the continent-wide advanced soul master academy soul fighting competition.They didn't have much money, and the tickets to watch the game were very expensive, so they had to find cheap places to stay. Of course, there were no places for people to live in hotels outside.
Li Changsheng had heard that there was a place specially provided for the Soul Master Academy participating teams to live, but Shen Yueliang and the others hadn't come yet, so Li Changsheng stopped looking for it.
Under the maintenance of the city defense army, everyone gathered together and there was no sign of noise.
Li Changsheng thought that there would be a few guys making a lot of noise.
But obviously, this kind of bridge will not happen.
Instead, there were constant whispers of discussion.
soon.
In front, on a small platform that should have been built separately, a mighty strong man wearing bright silver armor walked out. He was probably a commander or captain. He came above and faced all the soul masters.
"Everyone. I am the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, Sun Kedi. No more nonsense. I would like to announce something. Next, the empire will requisition some of the soul masters present."
As soon as these words came out, the soul masters gathered here were in an uproar.
"Excuse me, didn't you say there was an inspection? Why did it become requisition again? Also, is there something you want to do?"
An older soul master asked.
"There is an inspection, but it will be a matter of time."
Sun Kedi said lightly.
"I believe everyone present should have seen the bloody rain before. And we have requisitioned some soul masters just to solve this problem! Of course, it will not be a simple requisition, but you will be paid a sum of soul coins as a reward. .By the way, you have no right to refuse!"
Sun Kedi shouted in a tone that could not be refused, and as if the momentum accumulated over a long period of time, some soul masters with low soul power levels could not help but retreat, showing expressions of fear.
"How can this be done? Forcibly recruiting us? We are not the soul masters of the Star Luo Empire!"
Some of the soul masters who were watching the competition were muttering underneath.
However, this soft whisper could not escape the ears of the high-level soul master.
"If you live here, you will temporarily become residents of the Star Luo Empire! Now, you are given a task, and you must complete it before you can leave! Okay, soul masters above the soul master are out, and I announce again that you have been recruited! Soul masters below the Soul Master must go there and pass the soul power level test before they can leave."
Sun Kedi did not want to be verbose at all, and directly used his loud voice to shock the soul masters present.
However, everyone also heard what he said.
Soul Master or above?
Does this mean that only soul masters above soul masters are recruited?
For a time, they had a lot of speculations.
"By the way, after the mission is over, our city defense army will pay the requisitioned soul master a hundred gold soul coins as a reward."
After saying this, Sun Kedi walked off the stage.
One hundred gold soul coins!
Many soul masters' eyes suddenly lit up.
Ordinary people can live a good life for several months with just one gold soul coin. These one hundred gold soul coins are simply a huge fortune. Even if the soul master's consumption is relatively high, they can still be used for a lot of money. After a long time, you can even use these soul coins as a reward for the team that hunts the soul beasts, and let them help you obtain the soul ring!
However, everyone also thought about what kind of mission it would be to be able to pay such an expensive reward and have such strict requirements on strength?
. . .
Although times are progressing and the number of soul masters is increasing, there are still not many soul masters with the strength of soul master level [-].
"interesting."
In the crowd, Li Changsheng smiled. He felt that something difficult must have happened.
It stands to reason that there are many soul masters in the city defense army. Why do we need to requisition the soul masters living here?
"Is it an incident caused by blood rain? What could it be?"
Li Changsheng thought secretly, and then gave up.I don’t have any clue at all, it’s strange that I can figure it out.
The soul masters quickly separated.
Soul masters who leave need to use soul guidance devices to detect the soul master's level.You can only leave after confirming that your own strength is really lower than Soul Lord.
Li Changsheng thought for a while and decided to leave!
He was very curious about what happened.
However, he did not want to act with this group of people.
"God of Wisdom, can you help me get out of here?"
"……tell.The soul power level has been reduced to level [-]. 》
Li Changsheng showed a satisfied smile.
The skill of the God of Wisdom still made him very satisfied.
Enter the inspection crowd.
Soon we arrived at Li Changsheng.
He put his hand on the soul guide for checking soul power.
Inject soul power.
The data started bouncing around, starting at zero, and then stopped at level seventeen, close to level eighteen.
The soul master soldier on the side nodded and signaled that Li Changsheng could leave.
Li Changsheng didn't stop and left directly.
However, instead of going back to the hotel, he turned into the alley.
"Stealth permanent"!
Using the fourth soul skill to activate the invisibility skill, Li Changsheng quickly disappeared.
He returns again to his previous dump site.
In the blink of an eye, there were only more than 20 soul masters left.
The number of people actually exceeded Li Changsheng's expectation.
There are nearly 20 soul masters, but there are more than [-] soul masters. Among them, there is even a soul master at the level of soul sect and soul king, but there is only one.
Li Changsheng came to a relatively clean place and waited for a while.
Then, Sun Kedi, who had left before, came back.
He glanced at the remaining soul masters.
"Okay, now you have been recruited by the city defense army. We will prepare some basic equipment for you. After you put it on, we set off."
"Then, can you tell us now what exactly is going on? Or where we are going!"
Among the soul masters, the highest-ranked soul king couldn't help but speak.
"You will know the content of the mission when the time comes. As for where to go, over there."
Sun Kedi pointed to the south.
"No, it can't be the cemetery over there, right?"
Outside soul masters are relatively able to come up with different answers.
"Are you quite smart? Yes, that's the cemetery over there."
"Is it difficult to destroy the soul beast? It shouldn't be. You should be able to do that kind of thing, right?"
This idea, as long as you think about it for a moment, you will know that it is impossible.
This is the royal capital of the Star Luo Empire. Even if it is not an inner city, there are still so many humans living there. How could a soul beast come here?
"You will know this when you arrive. Okay, prepare quickly, and then follow the city defense army."
After Li Changsheng got the answer, he left directly and walked towards the cemetery.
As soon as he arrived here, he found that it was different from what it was in the morning.
Outside the dark iron railings, many soldiers were surrounded.
The previous blood rain fell on the cemetery, causing a lot of blood to accumulate in the potholes, making the entire cemetery shrouded in a strange area.
"There doesn't seem to be any abnormality, right?"
Li Changsheng flew directly into the cemetery.
Because the outside has been blocked.
After arriving at the cemetery, Li Changsheng didn't find anything unusual.
"No, it's such a strong aura of soul power."
After continuing to move forward for a while, Li Changsheng discovered something was wrong.
There is a cold soul energy everywhere here.
This soul power aura is the same as the falling blood rain.
It stands to reason that when the blood rain stops, there will be no such cold soul power, but here it is just the opposite, it is even more intense!
Li Changsheng increased the altitude of his flight.
Soon, he could overlook the entire cemetery.
"Eye of God"!
He activates the soul skill that can see through everything.
"hiss."
Immediately afterwards, Li Changsheng took a breath of cold air.
He discovered that the entire cemetery, which was thousands of square meters in size, seemed to be soaked in blood-like soul power. The rippling blood-colored soul power was ebbing and flowing, endlessly growing.
There is something very strange about this place!
Li Changsheng tried to trace the source of these soul powers, but there was none.
It was as if the evil spirit power was born out of thin air and still resides in the entire cemetery.
"Hmm, this doesn't seem like something I should get involved in."
Although I don’t know what happened when the Star Luo Empire sent out city defense troops, they certainly didn’t do it without targeting.
But, in the end, whether they can solve it is a question.
Li Changsheng originally wanted to leave, but he still circled the entire cemetery carefully several times.
Apart from being filled with evil soul power, there is really nothing unusual about it.
Li Changsheng had no choice but to return to the hotel temporarily.
Fortunately, if you open one side window of the hotel room where he lives, you can see the cemetery.
That way he could also survey the entire cemetery.
"Hmm, would it be better for me to follow those soul masters? Sure enough, I hate trouble from beginning to end."
Li Changsheng laughed at himself a little, and then returned to the hotel.
There were still many people in the hotel, and the soul masters who came back told what happened before.
Li Changsheng went back to the room directly.
Li Changsheng immediately opened the window, took the chair next to the table and put it down in front of the window, and that's what Li Changsheng did.
"Eye of God"!Still maintaining it, he stared at the cemetery.
Minutes passed by.
pat, pat, pat.
It was probably around six o'clock in the evening.
The sky was completely covered with thick black clouds.
This time it completely enveloped the entire Star Luo Empire capital.
After the dark clouds gathered, the heavy rain came!
Bloody rain fell from the sky.
Li Changsheng was extremely surprised.
Because the moment he saw the first drop of rain falling, he sniffed.
It's bloody smell.
This is a real rain of blood.
No, to be precise, it is a combination of blood and soul power.
At the same time, wailing and screaming sounds came from the cemetery a hundred meters away.
"Something finally happened..."
Li Changsheng stood up and came to the window.
Looking at the rain of blood gathering outside, in the blink of an eye, the streets without drainage channels were flooded.
At this moment, everyone living in the Star Luo Capital witnessed this process.
As far as he could see, Li Changsheng looked through the "Eye of God"!Saw the distance!
"Many, many, many bones."
He murmured softly.
wrong.
"Should we call them zombies? No, undead?"
