Tang Zhen turned his gaze towards the direction where the voice had originated from. He saw a human figure pouncing toward the battle like a bolt of lightning.
“After seeing this scene, Tang Zhen’s pupils slightly shrunk. From the speed of this person’s movement, it was likely that his cultivation was not weak. At the very least, he had to reach rank 5 before he could possess such might. ”
“From the looks of it, they didn’t seem to have good intentions! ”
“Looking at the joyful expressions on the faces of the cultivators from Black Rock City, he was afraid that the other party was reinforcements from Black Rock City. In the face of such strong reinforcements, the situation of this group of insect bandits was not good! ”
“Tang Zhen was slightly unhappy that he was unable to see the cultivators of Black Rock City suffer a loss. However, this was not the time for him to make a move. He still needed to wait for the right opportunity. ”
“At this moment, the figure had already arrived in front of them. After he steadied himself, the crowd realized that it was an old man. ”
“The old man was wearing a robe sewn from an unknown material. He had a strong body, his white hair was tied into a ponytail, and his expression was gloomy. ”
“He stood proudly in the middle of the two sides, not worried that the insect thieves would take the opportunity to attack. ”
“The old man’s aura was imposing. After his cold eyes swept across everyone present, he spoke to the leader of the insect bandits, “” my Black Rock City and your insect bandits have never crossed each other’s path. Why are you surrounding and ambushing the cultivators of my Black Rock City today? if you don’t give me an explanation, then none of you shall leave! ”
“The old man’s words were firm and decisive. Coupled with his rank 5 cultivation, he was not arrogant. ”
“The leader of the insect bandits took a step forward and cupped his hands before his chest,””is that elder mo from Black Rock City?”” he asked the old man. I’m Zha Gu, the third leader of the insect Masters. Today’s incident was completely started by you, the cultivators of Black Rock City. We just want an explanation. Black Rock City is the Overlord of this region, we naturally do not wish to offend them. However, if we do not say a word even when they are riding on our necks, then we, the insect thieves, will not be able to continue living in this world.”” ”
“After Zha Gu had finished speaking, he glanced at the cultivators from Black Rock City who were filled with killing intent and coldly snorted with an expressionless face. ”
“After hearing Zha Gu, who called himself the third leader of the insect Masters, say this, elder mo of the Black Rock City cast his gaze towards his own camp with a questioning look in his eyes. ”
“When the rank 4 cultivator in the lead saw this, he quickly walked over and reported the entire situation to elder mo. ”
“It turned out that ever since the undead clan’s outbreak, Black Rock City had been in a state of suppression. Many things that could only be done outside the city could no longer be completed, including the work of gathering some precious materials. ”
“These materials were essential for Black Rock City’s trading goods. Now that they had been completely depleted, they would have to be replenished if they wanted to continue production. ”
“However, the undead clan had surrounded Black Rock City. It was not an easy task to break through their blockade. ”
“However, the corpse race was only surrounding the city and not attacking. As long as the cultivators of Black Rock City did not try to break through the blockade, the corpse race would not take the initiative to enter the defensive range of black Rock City’s buildings. ”
“However, in that case, Blackstone city would be like a tiger trapped in a cave. There were hunters armed with guns outside, and they would be in a dilemma. ”
“Fortunately, there was the cornerstone trading platform that allowed them to exchange for limited food. Black Rock City also had their own special food to save their lives, so the residents of Black Rock City barely had to go hungry. ”
“However, as time went by, the disadvantages of being surrounded by the undead race began to show, especially one of the products that Black Rock City mainly purchased from the cornerstone trading platform. It had always been one of the main points income of Black Rock City, but now that the raw materials had been exhausted, they were completely out of stock. ”
“Since there were no more goods to sell, there was naturally no point income. Without points, he could not buy the materials he needed on the cornerstone trading platform. ”
“It was like living at home. One couldn’t live without firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. Otherwise, one wouldn’t be able to live. ”
“There were close to ten thousand people in Black Rock City. The daily consumption was also extremely large. It was not obvious on normal days, but now that they were besieged by the corpse clan, the internal affairs of Black Rock City were immediately in chaos. ”
“The citizens of Black Rock City were not allowed to have points. They only had coins to replace points. Unfortunately, they could not buy what they wanted with these coins. Even the supply of food was decreasing. ”
“The citizens of Black Rock City were worried, but no one dared to say anything out in the open for fear of bringing them unnecessary trouble. ”
“The people in power in Black Rock City did not care about what the residents thought. To them, as long as the residents did not starve to death, there would not be any trouble. However, the problem was that after the point income channel was cut off, the cultivation resources of the cultivators in Black Rock City were also cut off. This was the most fatal thing. ”
“There was no doubt that powerful martial strength was the foundation of Black Rock City’s standing in the endless wilderness. If the resources to sustain the cultivators ‘daily training could not be guaranteed, and the cultivators’ combat power was damaged, then Black Rock City might really be in danger of being destroyed. ”
“To make matters worse, the brains that were originally stored to tide over the crisis were all gone because of the accidental theft of the treasure room. The governor of Black Rock City was so angry that he swore to tear the thief into pieces. ”
“Without the brain to exchange for points, the higher-ups of Black Rock City were at their wits ‘end. After all, they did not have many points in their pockets. ”
“The governor of Black Rock City still had a batch of high-level brain beads, which he had kept away. However, these were reserves that could only be used when the city was in danger of being destroyed, and could not be touched easily. ”
“Looking at the current situation, it didn’t seem like they had reached the point of burning their boats. ”
“Hence, Black Rock City decided to break through the zombie race’s blockade and head to the origin of the materials to collect them. However, for some unknown reason, the original origin of the materials had already been taken by someone else. All the required materials had been plundered, and even the origin had been destroyed. ”
“Snatching food from a Tiger’s mouth would never have happened in the past. This was because everyone knew that this was the forbidden area of Black Rock City and would take a detour when they passed by. However, now that Black Rock City was in a crisis, all sorts of evildoers had come out to take advantage of the situation. Some of them had even destroyed the origin of raw materials and openly provoked Black Rock City. ”
“Unwilling to return empty-handed, the cultivators of Black Rock City decided to head to another location to harvest after some discussion. However, that place was the area controlled by the insect bandits. ”
“As a result, one of the insect bandits who had tried to stop the cultivators from Black Rock City was killed. The insect bandits who had rushed over after hearing the news were not willing to let this go. As soon as the two sides disagreed, they immediately drew their swords and started slashing at each other. ”
“After elder mo heard of the incident, he glanced at the Black Rock City cultivator who had attacked and a trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes. ”
It was his troublesome grandson’s doing again. Didn’t he know that Black Rock City was currently plagued with internal and external problems and that it was not wise to provoke a strong enemy?
“These people were like hungry wolves in the wilderness. Although they were usually polite to Black Rock City, that was because they did not dare to fall out with the powerful Black Rock City. However, once Black Rock City’s power declined, these people would be the first to pounce on them and bite them. ”
“After thinking about this, elder mo looked at the leader of the insect bandits and said slowly, “” I already know the whole story of this matter. No matter what, Black Rock City has done something wrong in this matter. However, both sides have suffered casualties. Why don’t we let this matter go? I wonder what leader Zha Gu thinks? “” ”
“When elder mo had rushed over, Zha Gu was already prepared to die together with him. He did not expect that elder mo would actually suggest such a thing. Naturally, he was more than happy to hear it. ”
“Zha Gu cupped his hands and bowed to elder mo. since elder mo has said so, I, Zha Gu, will naturally comply. We will let this matter rest. We will meet again! ”
Zha Gu waved his hand and left with a gloomy face. The surrounding insect thieves immediately gathered and followed behind him. They quickly disappeared into the wild grass.
Elder mo looked at the bug bandits that were leaving and a cold glint flashed in his eyes before it disappeared.
“Elder mo slowly turned his head towards Tang Zhen. His voice suddenly turned cold and hard as he asked in an emotionless tone,””this passerby who did not help the cultivators of my Black Rock City. Do you have any last words before you die?”” ”
