The last building on earth

"Do you think they are lying to us? All eight of them are adults? Why don't I believe it?" The tallest man among the four had a suspicious look on his face.

The thin man among them kicked the body of the silver-ringed winged snake on the ground and said: "This silver-ringed winged snake is a four-star monster that only appears when doing the 'Treasure of the Snake Clan' mission. It is stronger than ordinary four-star monsters, even It is more powerful than ordinary adults. Since they can kill it, their strength must not be weak. Even if not eight of them are adults, at least several of them have reached adulthood."

Fang Yixuan said: "I would rather believe that they are there than not. Besides, since they can fight all the way here, they should be almost adults. After all, it is not difficult to be promoted to adults. As long as you hunt monsters and absorb enough energy, , with the qualifications of most people, they can break through, except for a few losers of course, but really losers, they have been eliminated long ago, and it is difficult for them to survive to the second floor."

"Yeah, as long as you work hard enough and your talent isn't too bad, it won't be difficult to reach adulthood. It's a pity that you want to grow up after you reach adulthood, hey..."

The thin one among the four suddenly let out a long sigh, his face full of disappointment.

"The energy we have gained has long been enough. We have been unable to break through for so long."

Fang Yixuan said calmly: "It's not easy to break through to adulthood. The boss also said last time that the average probability of breaking through to adulthood is only one or two tenths."

Not mentioning the emotion of these four people here, they said that Wang Xuan and the other eight people said goodbye and left. Soon they were a hundred meters away. Zhao Lei turned his head and saw Fang Yixuan and four people who were slowly turning into small black spots, and then whispered to Wang Xuan: "Wang Xuan, I always feel like these four people have bad intentions. Could it be that I'm overthinking it?"

Wang Xuandao: "You didn't think too much. I feel the same way as you." He assimilated with the monster and gained the instinct of the monster. The monster can vaguely sense the hostility of anyone.

Just now, Wang Xuan could vaguely sense a hint of hostility from Fang Yixuan and the other four, so he had been secretly wary of these four people's attacks and was ready to counterattack at any time.

But they didn't want the four people to watch them leave, and ultimately did not take action.

"This is strange. They are hostile to us, but they pretend to be good friends. What do these people want to do? Are they really inviting us to join the Xuan Gang?" Zhao Lei narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think about the reason.

Wang Xuandao: "Probably because of Zhang Haofei's words."

Zhao Lei understood immediately and said: "I know, because Zhang Haofei said that we were all adults, which frightened these four people. If he said that, they really didn't have good intentions when they stopped us in the first place."

Zhang Haofei regretted hearing this and said, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have said anything. If they dared to take action, I would be able to stretch my muscles."

When he said this, a grin appeared on his face. For him, killing people was much more exciting than killing monsters.

Gu Manyao rolled her eyes at him and said: "Of course we should try not to do anything if we can. We have already offended the Rakshasa, how can we still offend the Xuan Gang?"

Li Haotian said: "It seems that we still have to join a party. At least we have a mark on our body. People will not be able to tell that we are newcomers at a glance. I think this can save a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Wang Xuan pondered slightly, looked at Zhao Lei and Zhang Haofei, and said, "I just thought about it. Fang Yixuan and the four of them had bad intentions at first. It may be related to the fact that the three of us are wearing belts, a basic storage belt. We need five hundred crystal scales. In the eyes of outsiders, we are just newcomers. The three of us are wearing belts, which is too conspicuous and can easily cause unnecessary trouble. We just came to Insect Town, so it is better to keep a low profile."

Zhao Lei nodded and said: "That makes sense. Anyway, our storage belt is of no use for the time being, so I'd better keep it for you. The three of us are wearing belts, which is indeed a bit conspicuous." As he spoke, he untied his waist belt. The storage belt on top was given to Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan took the belt and looked at Zhang Haofei again.

Although Zhang Haofei was reluctant, seeing that Zhao Lei had already untied his storage belt, he could only slowly untie the belt around his waist and hand it to Wang Xuan.

After putting these two storage belts into the Sumeru mustard space, Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the eight of himself, he was the only one with a Sumeru belt, and it didn't look too conspicuous.

Having just come to Chong Town, all he can know so far is the names of the five major forces, and he still knows nothing about the others. Wang Xuan doesn't want to be troublesome, he just wants to keep a low profile as much as possible and cause less trouble.

As everyone walked back, they heard various sounds of fighting coming from the distance from time to time. Teams appeared in the distance, ranging from three to five people to as many as ten people. Most of them were newcomers without the signs of the five major forces, struggling. They hunted silver-ringed pythons and flying-winged snakes.

Everyone was also attacked by the silver-ringed python again.

The eight people easily rushed out of these silver-ringed giant pythons and approached the distant insect town. As they continued to pass through the insect town, more and more people appeared in the snake realm, especially the flying wing snakes gathered there. This area has the largest number of people.

Compared with lizard-clawed snakes and silver-ringed giant pythons, hunting winged snakes can obtain crystal scales, which attracted everyone to this area. It can be said that groups of flying winged snakes have just appeared and they will be killed soon. , and then these people will stay where they are, waiting for the next batch of flying winged snakes to appear.

After a while they met Li Haitang, Wu Yunyue and Zhang Zhao.

They also entered the territory where the flying-winged snakes were entrenched from the area where lizard-clawed snakes originally gathered.

"Wang Xuan!" Li Haitang saw Wang Xuan and greeted him from a distance, with some excitement on his face.

Wang Xuan just saw Li Haitang easily kill a flying winged snake that rushed towards him, and saw that she was also an adult. However, in her team, only she and Wu Yunyue were promoted to adults, and Zhang Zhao and the other four were still sub-levels. The body is struggling to hunt the flying winged snakes coming up from all around.

Wang Xuan also waved hello to Li Haitang.

Zhao Lei whispered: "I guessed it right. Look, the first person Li Haitang called was you. He is indeed interested in you."

Wang Xuan was speechless and couldn't help but want to kick him, saying: "You are so boring." As he spoke, he gestured to Li Haitang from a distance and pointed in the direction of Chong Town, meaning that the eight of him wanted to Return to Bug Town and talk to you next time.

Li Haitang was a little disappointed and nodded towards him without saying anything else.

The eight people walked back all the way. There were too many people hunting the winged snakes. These snakes were almost killed as soon as they appeared. As they walked back, they were not attacked by the winged snakes until they were almost close. Chong Town was attacked by a group of lizard-clawed snakes.

The number of people hunting lizard-clawed snakes can be seen to the naked eye. However, the lizard-clawed snakes, which are only three-star dangerous, are too weak for everyone now. They easily cut through a passage and arrived at Insect Town.

The thick wall that is ten meters high gives people a solemn and oppressive feeling. It was too dark last night and everyone fled and did not take a closer look. Looking at this tall wall now, it is hard to imagine that this is just a small town. From a distance, the wall looks more like an ancient city.

In the middle of the east wall is the east gate to and from Insect Town. Every night, this gate will be closed. At this moment, the east gate is open. Wang Xuan can see from a distance that there are many people staying there near the city gate. Occasionally, he can see to someone coming in or out.

"Should we go in and have a look, or should we try another mission first?" Zhao Lei looked at the many people gathered at the east gate and suddenly felt a little bit frightened.

Although the eight of them are all adults, who knows how strong these five forces are, whether there are really stronger beings than adults, and whether Duan Chen and Yao Tiande of Rakshasa are core members. They would not invite more powerful people to deal with them. Everything was unknown. Seeing that he was really going to return to Insect Town, he suddenly became uneasy.

Gu Manyao said: "The centipede hunter's mission difficulty is five stars. With our current strength, we should be able to try it. There is also the new goblin redemption mission. We can also try it, but we have to return to the first floor. OK."

Wang Xuan was also a little hesitant, thought for a while and said: "Let's try this Centipede Hunter mission first. If the five-star target is adult or above, we're afraid we won't be able to do it, but we can go to Centipede Island first. It depends on the situation."

Seeing Wang Xuan's decision, Zhao Lei and others breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, they don't have to return to Chong Town to face possible dangers.

Then everyone began to walk along the wall of the insect town towards the south.

Wang Xuan took out the parchment of the Centipede Hunter mission.

This is a five-star difficulty task, but the reward is also better. It is a bronze treasure chest that is one level higher than the patina treasure chest.

The mission location is Centipede Island south of Insect Town.

The eight people walked south along the wall, preparing to enter Centipede Island directly from the Snake Domain, but they quickly stopped again.

They saw that to the south of the Snake Territory was a large river with unknown depth. There was a giant island in the center of the river. According to the map, this giant island was Centipede Island. There were no boats or bridges on this river. The only way to go south was from Chong Town. There is a road about two to three hundred meters long and ten meters wide at the gate, which leads directly to Centipede Island. This is the only way to get to the island.

"It seems that the only way to enter Centipede Island is to return to Insect Town first, and then pass through the road outside the south gate." Wang Xuan shook his head, a little speechless. He originally wanted to complete the Centipede Hunter's mission before returning to town, but now it looks like It's impossible to come.

Zhang Haofei smiled and said: "You should be able to get there by swimming. I think Centipede Island is not too far from the shore. With our current physical strength, it won't be difficult to swim there."

Gu Manyao said: "If you want to swim, just swim there alone." She was not good at swimming, and she had a headache when she saw the river water. She didn't even want to get into the water, let alone swim across it.

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Zhang Haofei, if you don't want to die, go down there. No one knows if there are any monsters hidden in this water. Once in the water, no matter how powerful your skills are, you can only use them to the best of their abilities."

Zhang Haofei curled his lips and said, "I'm just making a suggestion, why are you so excited?"

Wang Xuandao: "Stop talking, let's go back to town."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the east gate of Insect Town.

Everyone stopped talking and followed him towards the east gate.

As they approached, Li Haotian, Yu Shanshan and Zhao Lei showed a hint of nervousness on their faces.

A group of people gathered at the east gate. Most of them were sitting there and resting. There were also a few patrolling, who looked like guards guarding the east gate.

Wang Xuan saw five people walking in before them. These five people wore the symbols of the five major forces and uniform yellow headscarves on their heads. However, they still accepted the interrogation and questioning of these people before letting them in. town.

"It seems... you are not allowed to enter and leave the Insect Town freely. Even the signs must be inspected, let alone newcomers. It seems the management is very strict..."

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, then looked carefully at the people gathered at the door, and immediately noticed that these people were actually divided into five factions, each with different signs. Four of them had red belts around their waists, which were very conspicuous, and naturally represented The "Rakshasa" among the five major forces.

There are three other people wearing black bracelets on their left wrists. Like the Fang Yixuan people they met before, they represent the "Xuan Gang" among the five major forces.

There were three other people, two men and one woman, wearing leather badges on the left chest with a phoenix pattern painted on them. They were the most classy and obvious sign among the five forces. Wang Xuan immediately knew that this should represent the five major forces. The "Phoenix" among forces.

The remaining four people wore yellow headscarves on their foreheads, and three had square metal plates hanging around their necks, which should represent the remaining "Dynasty" and "Justice Alliance" among the five major forces.

When Wang Xuan's eight people approached, most of them stood up and cheered like wolves that smelled blood.

"Newcomer, have you gathered the crystal scales?" Immediately, one of the men in his thirties with a metal plate hanging around his neck spoke with a smile.

There are many newcomers who enter Insect Town. Because they cannot collect the crystal scales, they will be driven to the Snake Realm outside the east gate by the five major forces, and they will wait until they can collect the crystal scales.

There are only four entrances and exits in Insect Town, and each entrance has people from the five major forces. As long as newcomers want to return to Insect Town, they will be intercepted by these people. Only by handing over enough crystal scales can they enter.

This is also the reason why many newcomers are forced to stay in the Snake Domain to rest.

"Would you like to join our Justice League? Our Justice League takes good care of newcomers." The man said with a smile on his face while looking at the eight Wang Xuan people. He noticed that Wang Xuan was wearing a belt that he had never seen before. The only storage belts that could be bought in Chong Town were primary and intermediate storage belts, but the belt tied around Wang Xuan's waist had never been seen before. He guessed that it was equipment obtained by hunting some kind of monster.

"Bao Jianzhang, you've committed your old habit again. Didn't you agree that we won't fight for newcomers in the future?" A horse-faced man with a red belt around his waist belonging to the "Rakshasa" came over and said: "Let's stick to the old rules and keep things simple. Come on."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, holding five folded slips of paper in his left hand, and said: "This time it is your Justice League's turn to be the first to pick."

Bao Jianzhang smiled and took one of the five slips of paper in the man's left hand.

Then a man wearing a yellow headscarf representing the power of the "dynasty" took a note.

Watching them all take a note one after another, the last remaining note belonged to this "Rakshasa" horse-faced man.

Wang Xuan and others saw this and looked at each other in confusion. Looking at this stance, could it be that people from these five parties decided which force they should belong to through notes?

Wang Xuan looked at it and felt a little speechless, but when he saw Bao Jianzhang from the "Justice Alliance" opening the note, he immediately shook his head and said, "What a pity."

The five people opened the notes in their hands one after another. The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes wearing a black bracelet on his left hand and belonging to the "Xuan Gang" smiled, showed the note in his hand, and said: "Sorry Everyone, I got it this time, these eight newcomers belong to our Xuan Gang."

The other four forces all shook their heads and immediately lost interest in Wang Xuan and the eight others. They didn't even bother to say anything. They just handed the note in their hands to the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and then walked back. He sat down on one side and ignored Wang Xuan and the others.

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes refolded all five slips of paper and put them away. Next time there is a new person, the others will have to choose, and the last remaining slip of paper will belong to him.

"My name is Yuan Xiao, what do you call me? Each of you has sixty crystal scales. From now on, you will be members of my Xuan Gang."

Yuan Xiao put away the note with a smile on his face, and the other two people from the Xuan Gang also came over. One of them had a pen and paper in his hand, preparing to register detailed information one by one.

"The name, gender, age, hatching beast's name, ability and growth level all need to be registered one by one."

Wang Xuan frowned slightly. He didn't expect that it was not just as simple as paying sixty crystal scales per person, but also required registering detailed information.

Thinking that Fang Yixuan had invited eight of them to join the Xuan Gang before, he never expected that they had actually become a member of the Xuan Gang. However, Wang Xuan also knew that saying he had joined the Xuan Gang was actually just a name.

"By the way, the sixty crystal scales handed over this time can only last for one month. After one month, you will need to continue to pay. Of course, if you reach adulthood, the amount paid will be halved."

Wang Xuandao: "Do I have to pay it as long as I stay in Chong Town? Are there any circumstances where I don't have to pay it?"

"You don't have to pay? Yes, as long as you can break through to adulthood, you don't have to pay." When Yuan Xiao said this, Zhao Lei's eyes lit up and said: "You don't have to pay after you break through to adulthood?"

When Wang Xuan heard this, he understood that among the five major forces, there were indeed strong men in the fifth form that transcended the adult form. Fortunately, the eight of them did not mess around.

Yuan Xiao smiled and said: "Do you think it is easy to break through to adulthood?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the people around him and said with a smile: "Those of us have been in adulthood for a long time, and none of us have been able to break through. Now you know how difficult it is to break through into adulthood. If you want to break through into adulthood, The probability is only about 1/2 in 10, but based on the probability, there is a chance that one of the eight of you will come out."

Hearing what he said, Bao Jianzhang, who belonged to the "Justice Alliance" laughed and said: "Yuan Xiao, you have to hurry up and curry favor. Then you will have a good backer in the Xuan Gang, at least you won't have to be sent to Come and see the gate."

Yuan Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he said this. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you eight can come here to register."

Of the two people who came with him, one was responsible for registering the name, age, name and growth stage of the hatchling, and the other was responsible for collecting crystal scales. After that, each person was given a black bracelet and a card.

Keep coding, there will be a second chapter later
