Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 202 Chaos Begins
"what!!"

When the cool night wind blew, Xiao Ran, who was walking to the door of his house, suddenly couldn't help shivering.

I couldn't help wondering in my heart: "Why is the weather getting colder now?"

After returning home and closing the door, Xiao Ran lay down on the hard bed and took a nap with his eyes half closed.

Although he had a good physique, Xiao Ran was a little tired mentally after such a long time of hard work. He fell into a half-asleep state not long after lying down.

I slept very comfortably until dawn. When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon.

Sitting up from the bed, Xiao Ran opened the door. The sunlight shone on Xiao Ran's body. Listening to the birds singing outside, he felt relaxed all over.

"Zhenye, have you eaten?"

Farmers who were going to the fields on the roadside passed by the door and greeted Xiao Ran enthusiastically.

Have you eaten?

It's a very strange greeting, but in the Central Plains, it is the best way for people to say hello.

"I've eaten. How about you?" Xiao Ran nodded with a smile.

"I'll go home for dinner now."

The other person waved his hand and walked home with his hoe.

Although there is no internet or TV here, there doesn't seem to be any worries either. It's just a little poor, but fortunately everyone is poor.

Xiao Ran stretched, took out some food from the space and stuffed it into his mouth.

Taking advantage of the bright sun at noon, Xiao Ran turned back to the room and dealt with the body of Shen Kuaidao's companion, the archer.

The archer's strength is average, but he also contributes 200 energy points and an E-level spell pattern [Drill] to Xiao Ran.

As for skills, Xiao Ran had no choice. When he transformed into a corpse slave, he was unlucky and did not keep his profession. Now the only thing this guy can show off is the archery skills in the skill book. If he takes away the archery skills, this corpse will become worthless.

The corpse was transformed by Xiao Ran into a corpse slave and put into the space.

All in all, the number of corpse slaves under his command has reached six, not counting the corpses of those wild dogs.

Senbei (meat shield), Kamitori Reiko (illusion), Spirit Snake (support), Archer (ranged attack), Shen Kuaidao (melee output), Tiger (powerful output).

Xiao Ran summarized the characteristics of these six corpse slaves and was surprised to find that his own capabilities were comparable to those of a team.

Tiger is undoubtedly the strongest, even though he was transformed into a corpse slave by himself and only retained a D-level occupation as a profiler.

But the tiger's own combat power is extremely high. Now it is a corpse slave with no sense of pain, tireless, unafraid of death, and fights with its life at risk. Ordinary D-level beginners are probably no match for it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh, and his mentality immediately relaxed.

Perhaps... this is the sense of security that is unique to the summoning style.

With this sense of security, Xiao Ran's days became more and more relaxed. When he went out, he helped Xie Yutang build a house. When he returned home at night, he studied boxing.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

I feel like I'm living here.

But in the past few days, Xiao Ran could feel that the atmosphere in the entire Los Angeles city was becoming more and more lively. Every time he walked on the street, he had a feeling of New Year's Day.

Every ten steps there is a storytelling show on the street, every twenty steps there is a crosstalk show, and every other street there is a martial arts show or acrobatics show.

There are countless items such as blown sugar, painted sugar, candied haws, plasters, and combs.

Even at the roadside tea stalls, you can often see men and women sitting there drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

However, this bustle made Xiao Ran feel particularly uneasy, as it meant that a large number of people from the martial arts world were rushing towards this side quickly.

According to the story on the mural, most of these people came here for Li Jingqi, and in the end, not many of them would be able to return alive.

Compared to the bustling streets, Zhao Qingming and his brothers have become more low-key in recent days.

This morning, seeing that Xie Yutang's house was about to be topped off, Zhao Qingming gathered his brothers together and said seriously, "Yutang, we have built your house for you. Our craftsmanship is impeccable. The next step is to top it off, but after that, we should not go out unless necessary."

"Oh, I understand!"

Xie Yutang nodded in agreement, and his Sun Miao and others also nodded when they heard it. It was obvious that their families had already given instructions.

Zhao Qingming looked at Xiao Ran, worried that his good brother would act decisively and cause trouble again, so he pulled Xiao Ran and said, "Zhenye, you have also felt it these days, right?"

"You mean those old men on the street?"

"Yes! Too many, beyond our families' original expectations. These past two days, my grandmother, Zhou Shang's grandfather, the old man of the Yang family, and Grandma Qi have all said that we are not allowed to go out. Now we are like a local snake encountering a tiger coming down from the mountain, so we have to stay still."

It is said that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.

But that was talking about one dragon. Now looking outside, there is a mix of good and bad people, and there may be bigger families than theirs.

There are so many of them, why are you running away now and pretending to be so high and mighty?
The underworld is about human relationships and social etiquette, but that is only when the gap between the two sides is not that big.

The current situation is that if you make someone angry, they will wield a big stick to teach you what the code of conduct is. Don't be afraid if you offend them. The world is so big. At most, they will kill a few of your people and then turn around and leave. What can you do?
So at this time, everyone tacitly agreed to keep a low profile, the lower the better.

"Yeah, I know what you mean."

Xiao Ran said he understood, but he knew in his heart that once the fighting started, no one would be safe. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but worry about the future of these brothers.

Especially the Yang family.

According to Aunt Yang, the Yang family suddenly declined after this melee.

Aunt Yang was the daughter of the second wife, and she was not to be talked to about the affairs of the underworld, so she didn’t know much. She only knew that the family of the first wife declined and was almost extinct by her time.

Thinking of the future prospects of Yang Fengchui, Xiao Ran felt a little worried for this brother.

As for the brothers of other families, it seemed that they also suffered great decline and defeat after this incident. The Zhou family remained prosperous for a few more years in the future, but it no longer interfered in the affairs of the world, and then slowly transformed with the times.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ran raised his head: "But I think we shouldn't just hide from this matter."

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, several brothers looked up at him.

Xiao Ran said, "We won't commit any crime, but we're not afraid of it. Hiding blindly will also cause trouble. We might as well take this opportunity to think of other ways. At least if something happens next, it's better than passively taking a beating."

"Fourth brother, what you said makes sense. I think so too." Sun Miao nodded.

Zhao Qingming frowned, looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Hey, if we don't feel well, does that mean others will feel well?"

Xiao Ran grinned, looking at the doubts on the faces of several brothers, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, we are also part of the Changchun Society. Since we are the Changchun Society, it won't be a problem to win over some brothers."

Hearing this, Zhao Qingming and Zhou Shang immediately understood what he meant. Zhou Shang narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean the Wuxian Hall?"

"Yup!"

Yang Fengchui patted his head and said, "Since ancient times, immortals have never crossed Shanhaiguan. This is an iron rule. No matter how much they say, burning incense and praying, reporting to the heavens, it's all nonsense. There are many people who don't like the Five Immortals Hall!"

Immortals do not cross Shanhaiguan, this is a custom agreed upon hundreds of years ago, but this sentence is also a warning to the people inside the pass.

Were there many people who went to Guandong during those years and died outside the pass?
How many of them were killed by Wuxiantang?

Now these families are afraid, and the Wuxiantang is probably even more afraid than them. On the one hand, they are afraid that things will be interfered with, and on the other hand, they are also afraid that their enemies are hiding in the dark and watching them.

As the saying goes, you don't worry about thieves stealing, you just worry about thieves remembering.

Even tigers take naps sometimes.

Even if the old man of the Hu family is not afraid, what about the younger ones like Hu San? When the time comes, they will take advantage of your unpreparedness and kill all your children. What can you do? ?

So when Xiao Ran proposed this idea, the eyes of several brothers suddenly lit up. They thought this idea seemed good. If the two sides joined forces, at least they could form an alliance when encountering danger...
