Chapter 2021 Gathering Strength

2021

boom!

Bang bang bang!

Boom!

The sound of gunfire suddenly came from downstairs.

"What's going on?" Henry asked with a frown.

One of his men hurried into Henry's room.

"Boss, there is a wave of people coming towards us. They are very well-equipped. They seem to be a professional mercenary team!" said the subordinate.

"Hmph, this must have been arranged by Cavendish. That guy must have been targeting us when we entered the City of Fear. Does he think he can capture me in this way? He's thinking too much. Pass the order. , use all the people we have arranged to kill this wave of people!" Henry said.

"yes!!"

The fourth and fifth rings cannot help but heat weapons, so after the battle started, there was the sound of gunfire everywhere.

At least dozens of people engaged in fierce gun battles in the streets and alleys of the Fifth Ring Road. During this period, various weapons were used, including rifles, pistols, and even fire swords and ammunition.

Living in the Fifth Ring Road has long been accustomed to the situation. They just hid in their homes and then looked at everything on the streets with a very calm mood.

No one came out to take care of this matter. In the City of Fear, gun battles are normal. Although today's gun battle looks a bit fierce, but... isn't that also a gun battle?

At the same time, the second ring.

"Did you hear the sound?" Cavendish said proudly, "The people I arranged should have already started to attack Henry."

"You have very good ears and your voice is very quiet." Xu Taiping said.

"I arranged for dozens of people this time, and prepared a lot of weapons alone. I sent these people and weapons here in advance, just to have the opportunity to use them. This time, if I can directly use them in the City of Fear It would be best to kill Henry!" Cavendish said.

"Killing him may not be that easy!" Xu Taiping shook his head and walked to a nearby building.

By this time it was getting dark.

Here in the City of Fear, it gets dark very quickly.

Xu Taiping saw lights coming from a building next to him, so he walked towards that building. As for who was in the building and whether they would be allowed to stay in the building at night, this was not something Xu Taiping had to consider.

The other side.

One ring, Ghost Temple.

Ghost General No. 15 walked to the door, suddenly stopped, and his ears twitched slightly.

"There's a firefight going on at the fourth and fifth rings, and it's quite large." Ghost General No. 15 said.

"Whatever they are, they are just a bunch of ants." Ghost General No. 11 walked into the Ghost Temple carrying a double-edged giant ax.

In the hall on the first floor of the Ghost Temple.

All the ghost generals have come here.

Each of these people has their own characteristics. There are seventeen people in total. Standing there, the aura on their bodies is very fierce.

At the very front of the hall is a huge seat.

This seat is made entirely of black iron. Because of the winter, a layer of ice formed on the entire seat, making it look like a Frost Throne.

"Why was the summoning order issued?" Ghost General No. 15 asked as he walked inside.

"I don't know either!" Ghost General No. 11 shrugged.

"Could it be that the boss was killed?" Ghost General No. 3 asked jokingly.

"How could the boss be killed?" Ghost General No. 6 shook his head.

"Why isn't Lao Ba here?" Ghost General No. 2 asked.

"I don't know!" The people around shook their heads.

At this moment, Ghost No. 8 followed a man and walked out from behind the throne.

The man followed by Ghost General No. 8 looks to be in his forties. He is wearing an open-chested gown and a black belt tied around his waist. His hair is relatively long, but it is tied up and combed. It's a bit similar to the hairstyle of the ronin warriors of the Foot Basin Country. He also has a long sword on his waist, which looks a bit like a Tang sword, and he wears a pair of gray cloth shoes at his feet, which look very thin.

If you walk on the street like this in winter, you will definitely be regarded as a lunatic, because this dress is not very warm and is suitable for summer wear. But in the city of fear, with tens of degrees below zero, ordinary people can't use this kind of dress for a long time. He would freeze to death in minutes, but for this man, it would take him several years to dress like this.

Hot or cold doesn't make much difference to him.

"Ghost King!"

"Boss Ghost King!"

Everyone shouted when they saw this man.

This man is the ghost king of the City of Fear.

The monarch of the entire City of Fear is also the ghost general No. 17 who broke Xu Taiping's leg.

The Ghost King walked to the throne expressionlessly and then sat down.

Several other ghost generals followed suit and sat on the seats under the throne.

"Boss Ghost King, you issued a summons to call us all back. What's the matter?" Ghost General No. 3 asked.

"Xiaoba, tell me." Ghost King said, his voice was very low.

"Let me tell you." Ghost General No. 8 stood up and said, "Everyone knows that I am responsible for guarding the entrance from the Third Ring Road to the Second Ring Road. Anyone who can push open the entrance door of the Second Ring Road can enter the Second Ring Road. But just now, a person appeared at the entrance of the Second Ring Road. This person opened the door and took two people into the Second Ring Road."

"What's this? I pushed that door open with one hand!" Ghost General No. 11 said disdainfully.

"Didn't you hear the point clearly? What No. 8 said was that the person brought two people into the second ring. If he wanted to bring two people into the second ring, that person had to open a door that was sixteen times more difficult. I said That's right?" Ghost General No. 15 said.

"Yes, that person did open a door that was sixteen times more difficult to open. Moreover, the door was more than sixteen times more difficult to open at that time, because it was winter now and the door was frozen, so it was more difficult to open than The usual difficulty is higher, and based on this, it is sixteen times more difficult to open. I think...even the Ghost King will not be able to open it, right?" No. 8 said.

"I can open it," the Ghost King said.

"Then I think, except for Lord Ghost King, no one else present can open it, right?" Ghost General No. 8 said.

"I can open it four times at most." Ghost General No. 11 said.

"Sixteen times, that is not something that ordinary people can open. It is estimated that only the boss can open it in the entire City of Fear." Ghost General No. 3 said.

"Could it be that the door is broken?" Ghost General No. 15 asked.

"The door is not broken. I tried it myself. Moreover, after he opened the door, a scene that shocked me even more happened. He... actually held the door with one hand... Although it was the most difficult to open the door, However, it is definitely more difficult to hold the door with one hand than to open the door with two hands. This new person entering the second ring is definitely a master!!" Ghost General No. 8 said with a serious face.

"Did that person bring a man and a woman with him?" Ghost General No. 3 suddenly asked.

"Yes, have you seen them?" Ghost General No. 8 asked.

"I've seen it before, in the ghost hunting ground." No. 3 said.

"Ghost hunting ground? You are indeed right as I thought!" Ghost General No. 8 said seriously, "That person should be here for the Ghost King!!"

"Are you here for Lord Ghost King?"

Everyone present looked at the Ghost King.

The Ghost King is the king of the entire City of Fear. He formulates and controls the rules of the entire City of Fear. Moreover, the Ghost King also occupies the nine underground floors of the Ghost King. This is where ghosts are most active, almost every night. There will be ghosts wherever you stop, so the improvement in strength on the ninth floor underground is very scary.

This is also an important reason why some people want to be ghost kings.

All ghost generals exist dependent on the ghost king. They are superiors and subordinates, and they are also a community of interests. There are the most ghosts in the ghost temple. Every ghost general can get huge benefits at his own level. Together, they Advancing and retreating maintains the status of the Ghost King in the City of Fear. Once the Ghost King is defeated and a new Ghost King takes his place, they may be deprived of their status as Ghost Generals and become ordinary Ghost Soldiers, and then there will be some powerful people. Become a new ghost general and live in the ghost temple.

No ghost general will allow this.

Therefore, the enemy of the Ghost King is, in fact, the enemy of all Ghost Generals.

There were many challengers to the Ghost King who appeared before, but none of them were very strong. The strongest one was the first killer of the second ring. That person almost killed the Ghost King, but unfortunately, he was killed by the Ghost King in the end. At that time, all the ghosts The generals were all broken into cold sweats, and now, a person appeared who could open a door that was sixteen times more difficult. Will this person also threaten the status of the Ghost King?

"I think you all understand the meaning of Lord Ghost King's summoning order, right? The appearance of such a character is completely beyond our control. If he loses to Lord Ghost King tomorrow, it will be okay. What if he defeats Lord Ghost King? "Ghost General No. 8 asked with a serious face.

"We cannot let him defeat the Ghost King." Ghost General No. 11 said loudly.

"We must not let him become the new Ghost King!" Ghost General No. 15 also said.

"Master Ghost King, do you have any plans?" Ghost General No. 8 looked at the Ghost King and asked.

"The other party can open doors that are sixteen times more difficult. Their strength is definitely superior to yours. And you told me before that No. 7 suddenly went crazy. However, in front of that person, that person just scolded him and Number Seven was scared away. We all know that Number Seven is crazy. Sometimes he may not even listen to my words. Number Seven's ability to perceive danger is far better than you and me. He can scare him away with just one sentence. , absolutely, a super master." Ghost King said.

Everyone present nodded, agreeing with the Ghost King's words.

"Actually, I don't mind having a good fight with the opponent tomorrow, because I won't lose." The Ghost King said.

"Master Ghost King, you can't fight an uncertain battle!" Someone said immediately.

"I know you won't let me do this, but do you want to kill the other person? If the other person has my strength, do you think you can beat him?" said the Ghost King.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say that they could win.

"So, the best way is for you to follow me tonight, find that person, gather the strength of all of us, and kill him directly." The Ghost King said coldly.

"Agree!"

"Agree!" everyone said one after another.
