The mayor of the mall looked at Chu Xiu in front of him solemnly. Although he was born in Ludu, the martial arts they inherited were all human martial arts from ten thousand years ago. In addition to paying more attention to the physical body to adapt to this thin environment,
Overall, they are of the same origin.
But the outsider's sword in front of him was simply stunning, and it even forced him to use the few internal forces in his body to resist, which was evident.
Just when the lord of the mall was about to continue taking action, Chu Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand and said: "Wait a minute, don't you realize that there is no point in the fight between the two of us now?
You can't kill me, and I can't kill you. If we continue to fight, we will both lose.
I don’t want to die, and as the city lord of this city, if something happens to you, how will you resist the other forces around Ludu? And the black storm you mentioned will also depend on you, the city lord, to resist it.
In this case, how about we make a deal?
I know what you want, it’s just elixirs, I have plenty of them here."
With that said, Chu Xiu directly took out a large amount of elixirs from the space secret box, and the pile was as high as a person. There were three big words written on these elixir bottles: Blood Recovery Pill.
These elixirs were the blood-restoring elixirs refined by Zhenwu Hall in the past. Because at that time, the level of alchemists in Zhenwu Hall was limited and they could only refine these pills. Chu Xiu packed some of them as a sales promotion.
Own product.
Later, his physical body was destroyed, and the space secret box also entered the blood soul bead because of the space inside. Although some were damaged, it did not affect the storage function. Chu Xiu did not change it. Unexpectedly, he sent it today.
Used.
Chu Xiu opened a bottle of elixir, and the scent of the medicine, which was not very strong at first, was extremely obvious in such a barren place, making every warrior in the mall widen their eyes and turn red.
For the people in these malls, anything with a hint of power is the key to their survival.
Pills are refined from the essence of heaven and earth. A bottle of low-level cultivation pills may be digested by the outside world in an hour. Some warriors from great sects eat them as if they are chewing jelly beans.
But for the warriors here in the mall, a bottle of elixir can even keep them alive for a year if they just stay alive.
With another wave of his hand, the pills disappeared into the space secret box. Chu Xiu said calmly: "Now, can we sit down and talk calmly?"
The mayor of the mall took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let go of my granddaughter first."
Chu Xiu waved his hand and the blood shadow dissipated. He threw ten bottles of blood-restoring elixirs to Shang Qi and said: "As a meeting gift, I am a broad-minded person who repays evil with kindness. I don't care that you just lied to me."
Shang Qi glanced at Chu Xiu and immediately ran to the lord of the mall.
However, she did not put away the ten bottles of elixirs. Instead, she handed them to a warrior who was not too young and said softly: "Give the elixirs to those who were injured last time and let them use them first."
Chu Xiu glanced at Shang Qi in surprise. Only then did the mayor of the mall let out a sigh of relief and said, "Please come in!"
A faint smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face. It seemed that no matter where he was, strength was the most important, and the rules here were the same.
If Chu Xiu had not shown his strength today, he would have been killed and taken away the treasure like those outsiders before, and he would not have been invited into the city.
Walking into the mall calmly, Chu Xiu also looked around at the surroundings.
This mall is called a city, but it is actually extremely desolate. There are only some simple houses built of stone in the entire city. Yes, they are all made of stone.
Compared with the outside world, the only difference here is that there is no nasty yellow sand.
The same goes for the City Lord's Mansion where the Lord of the Mall is located. The only difference is that it is slightly larger than the stone houses in the outside world.
Taking Chu Xiu to sit on a stone table, the mall owner said solemnly: "Now you can tell me, what exactly do you want to trade?
You have also seen what I have here, there is nothing, only some techniques passed down from ancient times, but your inheritance of techniques is even stronger than mine, there is no use if you take it away."
Chu Xiu said: "Don't worry, what I want to trade is not something too difficult, just some news. By the way, I haven't asked the name of the mall owner yet."
The mayor of the mall said expressionlessly: "I am Shang Tianliang, but few people have called me by this name."
In this mall, Shang Tianliang is the oldest, so naturally no one would call him by his name.
Chu Xiu's expression was a little weird, Shang Tianliang, Shang Tianliang?
After coughing, Chu Xiu said: "I am very curious about this Ludu. I heard from Shang Qi that you came here after the ancient catastrophe ten thousand years ago? What was the situation at that time? What was the ancient catastrophe?"
Shang Tianliang pointed at himself with a sneer and said: "Wrong, it should be said that we came here before the ancient catastrophe. We are just the descendants of a group of refugees."
Shang Tianliang pointed at himself and at the same time pointed outside and said: "Before the ancient catastrophe began, the top forces had already found ways to avoid the ancient catastrophe.
But our ancestors did not. We are just a group of refugees who are unwilling to be abandoned and try our best to find a way to survive.
This space was discovered at that time. Our ancestors joined forces to blast out a portal at the weakest point in the space, and then dozens of forces, possibly hundreds of forces, moved here together.
At that time, they called this place the Green City. It was like spring all year round and the energy of heaven and earth was extremely rich and abundant. It was a good place for seclusion and refuge.
But the funny thing is that our ancestors have ignored one point. If this place is really a paradise, how could those big sects give up this place?
This place is not actually a world, it can only be said to be a relatively large independent space, and everything inside is extremely unstable.
About 3,000 years ago, the vitality of heaven and earth declined greatly, and in the end even the environment became extremely desolate. There has not been a drop of rain here for decades.
You have also seen the current situation. Survival has become a problem. The forces and aristocratic families that came in back then have all been dispersed and formed into gathering places where people huddle together for warmth and eke out a living. This is the case in the mall.
If I had known this, my ancestors might as well have stayed there and resisted. Through you, the later generations, I also know that the great catastrophe did not destroy all life. For thousands of years, I have been clinging to life, and in the past
Those who resisted the catastrophe outside have once again prospered in martial arts."
After listening to what Shang Tianliang said, Chu Xiu felt that their ancestors were just unlucky.
Except for the truly desperate, no one wants to sit back and wait for death.
As a result, fate plays tricks on people, and those who really sit back and wait for death survive, while the descendants of those who dare to fight hard and look for opportunities are left here half-dead, waiting to die.
"By the way, what happened to the ancient catastrophe? Where did those people from the ancient times go?"
Shang Tianliang shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"have no idea?"
"I just don't know. Don't imagine that our ancestors are too powerful. In ancient times, they were not even top-notch. They can only be said to be second- or third-rate forces.
The ancient catastrophe has long been deduced by some great divination masters. In the later period, the earth dragon turned over, meteorites fell from the sky, sky fire and earth fire broke out at the same time, and various natural disasters continued, as if the world was destroyed. These scenes all proved those divination predictions.
The master is right.
But the real reason, perhaps except for those beings who were at the pinnacle of martial arts at that time, no one knew what was going on.
According to the records of my ancestors, the top sects seemed to have a plan to take away some of their disciples, not even all of them.
Even those top sects cannot take away all their disciples, let alone people like us."
Chu Xiu rubbed his head. It seemed that the ancient catastrophe was really not that simple. On the contrary, he had imagined the matter too simply.
If the cause of the ancient catastrophe is known to everyone, then this matter is probably not a mystery. Those who survived the ancient catastrophe should all know it.
At this moment, Shang Qi walked in, carrying a tea tray made of stone. There were two cups of turbid sewage and a few gray-white things in it.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows, can this thing be drunk?
Shang Qi seemed to see what Chu Xiu was thinking, and she hummed softly: "In Green City, water means life. The mall is rooted here because there is a cave hundreds of feet underground. From there every day
After receiving some water, these pastries are made from the Pu Meng tree."
Chu Xiu took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, frowning slightly.
It tasted like chewing wax and made him feel like he was chewing white ash.
Shang Qi said calmly: "It's not delicious, but you can survive if you eat it."
Chu Xiu knocked on the stone table and said, "Has the situation in this place gotten so bad? We have to fight each other for such a thing. I am afraid that more people will die for it than it can save."
.”
Shang Qi lowered his head and did not say anything. Shang Tianliang paused and said: "But if we don't fight hard, everyone will starve to death. It should be difficult for you from the outside world to imagine that warriors who have reached the true elixir realm will starve to death.
What does it look like?
This is the rule of Ludu. For anything that can survive, you can risk your life to take it!
Even when food is most scarce, two neighboring forces will fight even if there is no conflict or any benefit.
Because after a fight, those who survive are the strong ones. If a group of people also die, the pressure on food resources will be reduced, and the remaining people can continue to live."
Hearing these words, Chu Xiu felt shuddering, and so did Lu Jianghe who was in the Blood Soul Bead.
Whether it was Chu Xiu or Lu Jianghe, they had a lot of blood and lives on their hands.
But there is a reason for everyone they kill, whether it's for fame and fortune or for hatred, it doesn't matter.
But here, there is no hatred, just to live, you have to kill. Here, it is simply a hell on earth.
