Chapter 2: Xiaguo Gun Devil Chapter 1: The Fourth Floor of the Starry Sky Tower
Xu Jingming looked at the quiet valley in front of him. Surrounding him were rocky peaks . The sound of monkeys howling could be heard faintly from the peaks.
"Is this the fourth floor of the Star Tower?" Xu Jingming held a spear and looked around carefully .
whoosh.
A figure appeared on the distant mountain peak and leaped up, drawing a huge arc and landing on a big tree in the valley. It stood on the thick branch of the tree and stared at Xu Jingming.
"Is this... a monkey?" Xu Jingming was a little uncertain.
Standing on the big tree was a relatively thin monkey with brown-black hair. He was holding a black stick in one hand. There was coldness in his eyes and he was looking at Xu Jingming with hostility.
It indeed looked like a monkey. The reason why Xu Jingming was not sure was that when he looked at this monkey, it was as if he was looking at an intelligent life.
"Its eyes are so spiritual. They don't look like those of a wild beast, but rather an intelligent creature." Xu Jingming looked at the other party.
"roar!"
The monkey suddenly let out a low roar and jumped out from the trunk of a big tree at a speed as fast as lightning.
"Its speed is comparable to Lei Yunfang." Xu Jingming immediately became more cautious, "I can't compare with it in terms of speed."
They were tens of meters apart, and the monkey rushed to Xu Jingming in just half a second. Xu Jingming dodged suddenly and thrust his spear forward like lightning.
"Bang." A stick shadow hit Xu Jingming's spear, and Xu Jingming felt it was extremely heavy. He immediately turned his spear to relieve the force and tried to stab again. But the stick shadow stabbed after the collision! The stick head poked Xu Jingming...
Xu Jingming instinctively drew an arc with his spear to block the stick, and still took a step back to absorb the force.
"It's slightly stronger than me, but much faster than me. And it has a powerful stick technique. This is the first time I've encountered an opponent using weapons since I entered the Starry Sky Tower." Xu Jingming felt the pressure.
The first three levels are wolves, bears, and tigers. They all behave like wild beasts and rely on their physical advantages.
The monkeys encountered on the fourth level not only have weapons, but are also proficient in stick techniques.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The stick is mainly used for chopping, sweeping, stabbing and other moves. Originally, it was at a disadvantage compared to the spear. After all, the moves that can be used with the stick can also be used with the spear. The spear is much stronger in terms of penetration. But this ape used the stick method to suppress Xu Jingming.
Because the monkey was too agile and too fast, even though its strength was only slightly stronger than Xu Jingming's, its stick skills were continuous and its stick-strike speed was much faster than Xu Jingming's, forcing Xu Jingming to focus on defense.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Xu Jingming and the monkey moved, moved continuously, and fought continuously. The sound of weapons colliding rang out again and again. Some trees in the valley were affected and broken by the collision of weapons.
These movements attracted the attention of other monkeys in the surrounding mountains.
All that could be heard were roars and howls, and then one monkey after another jumped out from the surrounding mountains, drew arcs, and landed in the valley. Some landed on trees, some on the grass, but every monkey was holding a black stick.
Monkeys come in all shapes and sizes, some are thin, but a few are extremely strong.
There was also a monkey with slightly reddish hair, surrounded by other monkeys, and he seemed to be the leader.
"In the first three levels, we had to deal with packs of wolves, bears, and tigers. Do we have to deal with a group this time as well?" Xu Jingming understood this clearly. His master Liu Hai and the others had not made it past the fourth level. Xu Jingming was just giving it a try this time to test the strength of the fourth level and he did not care about failure.
Although he was distracted, Xu Jingming's mind was still detached and he was in control of the entire battlefield. His marksmanship was still extremely fast, one move after another, changing his moves very quickly. Under the strong pressure from the monkey, he held out for a full five minutes.
"Roar." Among the many monkeys watching the fight, one suddenly became impatient and rushed out with a stick in his hand to join the battlefield. Its sudden attack, and a shadow of the stick tore through the sky and chopped down, put Xu Jingming under great pressure.
Bang, bang, bang!!! All I saw were continuous shadows of sticks covering the sky!
Xu Jingming barely blocked a few sticks before being hit on the head by one. He turned into nothingness and disappeared into the valley.
"One ape suppressed me, and two apes are no match for me." When Xu Jingming turned into nothingness, he glanced at the dark red-haired ape king, "That ape king must be extremely terrifying. There is no hope of passing the fourth level in a short time."
…
When Xu Jingming was trying to break into the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower, the outside world was already in an uproar.
If other countries are paying close attention to the new names appearing and are frantically digging out all the information about Xu Jingming of Xia Country, then... Xia Country's own media has completely fallen into a frenzy.
You should know that during the Fire Cup competition, when the world's seventh place appeared, more than half of the countless live broadcast rooms and media in Xia Country were talking about the world's seventh place.
Now the competition is over! The eighth in the world is born, and it is from Xia Country. The enthusiasm in Xia Country can be imagined.
"Just now, just now! The eighth name appeared on the Starry Sky Ranking, the eighth in the world: Xu Jingming (Xia Country)..."
"Three of the top eight in the world are from our Xia Country! This is the strength of our Xia Country!"
"If Liu Hai and Lei Yunfang are considered to be warriors of the older generation, then Xu Jingming is only 29 years old and can definitely be considered a young generation. The masters of the younger generation of our Xia country can also be ranked among the top ten in the world."
On the virtual world viewing platform, countless live broadcast rooms have been excitedly discussing this topic.
Li Miaomiao's live broadcast room originally had only a few hundred thousand viewers, but suddenly the number of viewers increased rapidly.
Two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, one million...
The growth rate is getting more and more exaggerated!
"What's going on?" Li Miaomiao was still a little confused. She only saw the number of viewers in the live broadcast room increase rapidly, and immediately looked at the countless floating comments.
"Brother-in-law is ranked eighth in the world!"
“Eighth in the world!”
"Xu Jingming, eighth in the world!"
"Brother-in-law, ranked eighth in the world on the Starry Sky Ranking!"
"Cat...Brother-in-law is so awesome!"
The comments went completely crazy.
Li Miaomiao blinked and looked at him, her heart beating faster and her face flushed.
"Jingming finally passed the third level of the Star Tower?" Li Miaomiao thought. Although Xu Jingming had said that he could pass it within three days, when that moment came, Li Miaomiao still felt extremely excited and proud of Xu Jingming.
Li Miaomiao lightly tapped her right hand, clicked on the friend list, and looked at Xu Jingming who was ranked first. Xu Jingming's status was 'fighting in the Star Tower', which made Li Miaomiao suppress the idea of logging off. If she logged off now, she would not be able to see Xu Jingming.
Li Miaomiao opened the viewing platform again and looked at other live broadcast rooms.
Other live broadcast rooms have screenshots of the "Starry Sky List", where you can clearly see the newly appeared name of Xu Jingming.
"I saw everyone's comments." Li Miaomiao was in the live broadcast room, her eyes slightly red, smiling, "I am happy for Jingming too."
"Brother-in-law is awesome!!! (broken voice——)"
"Brother-in-law, that's awesome."
"Cat, you must reward your brother-in-law well."
The comments are still rolling in, and the number of viewers is still skyrocketing, already approaching 10 million online users. For a personal live broadcast room, this is an incredible number.
Some viewers couldn't contain their excitement and gave rewards.
Li Miaomiao looked at the comments, chatting while keeping an eye on the status of her friends.
The moment when I found Xu Jingming leaving the Star Tower.
"Your brother-in-law is looking for me. I'm going offline first." Li Miaomiao said, and then left immediately, even carelessly not closing the live broadcast room. Only tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were left facing the empty live broadcast scene.
…
Xu Jingming just failed and returned to his personal space.
Then I found Li Miaomiao coming to the gate of the courtyard and knocking on the door.
According to his settings, only Li Miaomiao can come to the personal space without an invitation.
"Miao Miao." Xu Jingming went to open the gate. There was snow outside the gate. Li Miaomiao was standing there in a single piece of clothing, but she didn't feel cold at all. Her heart was full of passion.
"Jingming." As Xu Jingming opened the gate, Li Miaomiao jumped up excitedly and jumped onto Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming even hugged his girlfriend.
"The whole internet is going crazy right now," Li Miaomiao said. "My livestreaming room is going crazy, too. Just a moment ago, there were tens of millions of people watching. It's all because of you."
"Okay, okay, I got it. Get off me first." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
"No, carry me into the house." Li Miaomiao shook her head.
"All right."
Xu Jingming could only carry his girlfriend back to the house.
