Crossing: Leading everyone to survive

Chapter 109 Racial Exchange Meeting

"You...are you trying to trick me?" Tang Xinggu finally reacted.

Gu Chengming smiled slightly at this.

"Come on, walk around with me some more," he said, then he raised his foot and walked forward.

"By the way, what race is that creature with six arms?" Gu Chengming asked consultant Tang Xing on the way.

"Oh, that's the Rakshasa tribe. They are born battle maniacs. Unfortunately, their intelligence is generally low," Tang Xinggu recalled carefully, stroking his chin.

"Rakshasa tribe, no wonder," Gu Chengming also remembered his ferocious face.

"grip"!

At this moment, a burst of excited cheers came from the front, and the sound of the huge crowd also attracted Gu Chengming's attention.

He saw a high platform like a fighting arena filled with spectators, including humans, elves, dwarves, and some other races he couldn't name. The heads of several tall giants were also visible on the high wall not far away.

Gu Chengming walked forward out of curiosity. When he got closer, he found that a martial artist was fighting with a night elf above him. The martial artist was brandishing the broadsword in his hand with great force, but every blow was always dodged by the night elf's agility.

After a brief struggle, the night elf took the initiative to step forward, clenched his hands and pulled back, and the thin lines scattered everywhere quickly retracted. Seeing this, the martial artist put his broadsword against his chest and let out a low shout.

Streams of pale yellow energy burst out from his body, and then quickly enveloped his body. The moment those thin lines approached, they were all blocked by this energy.

The martial artist held his breath, gripped the broadsword tightly, and quickly stepped forward. Looking at the panicked night elf in front of him, he curled his lips into a smile and chopped down with all his might with the broadsword in his hand.

Just when he thought he had victory, he saw the night elf in front of him disappear like a phantom the moment he was about to be hit by the broadsword. By the time he reacted, the sharp dagger was already pointing at his throat.

"grip"!

The elves in the audience cheered loudly when they saw the night elves win, while the human monks all lowered their heads.

“What is going on?”

Gu Chengming asked curiously.

"This can be considered an arena, an event specially held to bring different races closer together. Anyone who wants can participate. By the way, I almost forgot that a racial exchange meeting will be held in the center of the square tonight, and there will also be a fighting competition. Are you interested in participating?"

"I forget it," Gu Chengming lost interest immediately after hearing that, "He doesn't want to expose his strength to the public."

"That's a pity. It is said that the rewards for the top ten this time are very rich. Each race will prepare a treasure, as well as various rare and expensive medicinal materials and weapons and equipment." Tang Xinggu said regretfully.

"Wait a minute, is there a reward?" Gu Chengming immediately grabbed Tang Xinggu who was about to leave.

"Of course, only rewards can motivate people."

"Okay, we'll join in!"

"What...can we fight now?"

Hongyu stood up instantly after hearing Gu Chengming's words, with a strong fighting spirit bursting out of his eyes. Perhaps it was the influence of his transformation into a dragon, he increasingly enjoyed the feeling of life and death in battle.

"Yes, that's what you think," Gu Chengming scanned his companions' faces one by one.

"What else can we do? Of course we fight," Jiang Zhilin said without hesitation.

"We are not children of those big families. We can't easily get the resources we need," Lin Muyao said solemnly. There was no envy in her eyes, because for her, the resources obtained through her own efforts can bring more sense of accomplishment.

"Yes, it's a good thing that you are not martial artists, otherwise those powerful martial arts would be hard to find." As a descendant of a large family, Xie Guhuai knew how difficult it was to obtain martial arts from those old guys.

After hearing Xie Guhuai's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" Xie Guhuai asked in confusion when he saw that no one was talking.

"It's okay, I just thought of someone," Jiang Zhilin explained.

"We all have our own opportunities, but Qingli is different. She is the only martial artist here, and we don't know how she will fare in the War Academy," Lin Muyao said worriedly.

Gu Chengming looked at Hongyu who was thinking with her head down. He knew that Hongyu must be feeling very bad at the moment. He clearly said that he would protect her, and he already felt very guilty for letting her get hurt when he was not strong enough. Now when he finally became stronger, she was no longer by his side.

"Okay," Gu Chengming stepped forward and hooked his neck, "Since you are unwilling to give up, then become stronger in the next battle. We will go to the War Academy sooner or later. When the time comes, let her see how powerful you are."

Gu Chengming began to get excited as he spoke, but when he turned around he found Hongyu looking at him calmly.

"What...what's wrong? Isn't what I said exciting?"

"Pfft...hahahaha", Hongyu burst into laughter the next second.

"Xiao Ming, you're really funny when you're serious."

"Hey! I'm trying to comfort you, can you please respect me a little?" Gu Chengming's face turned red because of his smile.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Ming, I know what you mean, and..." Hongyu said with a serious look in his eyes.

"Besides, when I said I would protect her it wasn't just a spur of the moment decision, but a lifelong promise, and I will definitely fulfill the Dragon Man's promise."

Gu Chengming was stunned for a moment when he saw Hongyu's serious expression, and Jiang Zhilin also walked forward at this moment.

She said in a pinched voice: "Wow, Hongyu, you are so manly, please protect me in the future."

"roll"!

Hongyu was kicked in disgust.

“Hahahahahaha”, the sound of laughter from everyone suddenly came from the small tent.

---

In a blink of an eye, the blue sky was replaced by night.

The military camp also became very lively at this moment.

"Do you remember what I said?" Gu Chengming turned around and looked at everyone before leaving.

"Clear," Hongyu shouted at the top of his voice, but his eyes could not stop looking outside with excitement.

"Then please repeat it."

"Uh..." Hongyu was stunned after hearing this. After a pause, he said, "In short, you can't lose your status."

"Hahahaha~" Hongyu's words also made everyone's originally tense faces burst into laughter.

Gu Chengming also tried hard to suppress his smile, “That’s basically what I mean. If we can do it in seconds, we should do it as soon as possible. It would be best to let them all think that we are from a big family.”

"learn"!

Everyone said in unison.

After he finished speaking, Gu Chengming walked out first, and Hongyu followed closely behind him.

"Hello." As soon as they went out, they saw Tang Xinggu waiting for them outside.

"Why are you here?" Hongyu asked in confusion.

"I'm just afraid that you don't know the way," Tang Xinggu said, scratching his head.

"You are so nice, kid?" Hongyu said, hugging his neck.

"Are you afraid that we don't know the way or is Mu Yunzhou afraid that we don't know the way?" Gu Chengming glanced at him lightly.

"Uh..." Tang Xinggu, who was exposed, stood there awkwardly.

"Then, please lead the way for us," Gu Chengming walked forward and said to him calmly.

"OK".

"Wow!" Along the way, Hongyu was amazed by the changes around him.

"This construction speed is comparable to that of our motherland, which is known as the infrastructure maniac," Jiang Zhilin also sighed.

Xie Guhuai also kept looking around, but his attention was not on the exquisite buildings.

"There are so many powerful people," Xie Guhuai showed surprise. It was also the first time for him to see so many powerful people gathered together, and there were also many other races mixed in.

"This is..." Xie Guhuai stopped immediately when he saw a figure, which caused Jiang Zhilin, who was looking around behind him, to bump into him from behind.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhilin asked, touching his red nose.

"There is actually a genius on the Tianjiao list"!

"Tianjiao List, what is that?" Hongyu came up immediately with interest, and Xie Guhuai told him everything he knew.

"The list of geniuses, leading the best of the younger generation," Hongyu murmured softly, and finally raised his head suddenly.

"I have decided, I want to be on the list of geniuses."

"Sure enough," Gu Chengming knew he was going to say this.

"I think it's possible. Anyone on the list can receive rewards from the Human Emperor Palace, and with your current strength, you can also compete with those monsters," Xie Guhuai said seriously.
