Chapter 2437: Chapter 1097: Three Questions Before the City Gate

Faced with life and death, everyone was racking their brains, thinking of ways to enter Wang Cheng.

"What can we come up with by just thinking?"

San Miyairi scratched her head and looked at Chestnut medal, "There’s too little information!"

The implication from the Sakura Girl was that the cannon fodder should go first.

"..."

Chestnut medal was speechless. He understood the meaning behind San Miyairi’s gaze — fundamentally, it was asking him to be the bad person.

’Damnit, I’ll definitely find a chance to kill her!’

Chestnut medal cursed inwardly, yet he didn’t mind being the bad person as the ones who would die were worthless scum.

Actually, even without San Miyairi’s urging, he planned to do this anyway.

"Hey, you, go knock on the door!"

Chestnut medal pointed to a long-haired man.

The long-haired man was startled, instinctively taking two steps back.

Chestnut medal rushed over, slapped him a few times, then grabbed his hair and forcibly pushed him towards the door.

"Go quickly!"

Chestnut medal held the knife handle, pretending to draw the blade: "Or else I’ll slaughter you!"

Although some felt bad for the long-haired man, no one pleaded for him. One reason was that they were too low in status, pleading was useless; another was that they also wanted to enter the city quickly.

The long-haired man, being a God Hunter, knew this was the treatment for the weak, so he stopped pleading and walked, trembling, to the gigantic city gate.

Bang, bang!

The long-haired man plucked up the courage to knock on the gate.

No response!

So he clenched his fist and again pounded with force!

Moments later, a deep, resonant chant began to reverberate through the heavens and earth.

’As the sky brightens, the stars converge, with the gentleman together. If together, then there is auspicious grace...’

Lin Baici’s heart skipped a beat, immediately activating Passing Ears Recitation.

The long-haired man was terrified, retreating a few steps.

The others didn’t look too good either.

The chant carried a peculiar melody, with some words being very rare and convoluted. Even a musician familiar with music would be bewildered upon first hearing.

As the chant reached its end, all the soldiers on the city wall and outside the gate placed their spears on the ground and shouted.

"Strong wind! Strong wind! Strong wind!"

"Fight to death! Fight to death! Fight to death!"

The voice from the Armored Soldiers was filled with dense iron blood aura, hearing it once felt like a sharp blade slitting the throat.

Once the chant completely disappeared, the vividly lifelike bronze lion heads on the left and right of the city gate, like awakened kings from a dream, opened their eyes.

With just a casual glance, an overwhelming aura surged.

The long-haired man, still terrified, wanted to retreat, but the bronze lion head had already looked at him.

No choice, as he was standing in the front.

The bronze lion head didn’t speak, and the long-haired man feared saying the wrong things, not daring to speak rashly, thus the atmosphere became tense.

"Damnit, why don’t you ask it!"

Chestnut medal was very angry, how could this scum be so foolish?

He dared not urge, fearing being targeted by the bronze lion head, and being unlucky next.

"Speak!"

Eventually, Gu Qingqiu boldly urged him.

"I...we are..."

Before the long-haired man could finish, suddenly thousands of arrows appeared in the void, shooting straight towards him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The long-haired man was directly turned into a porcupine, dying tragically.

Hiss!

Everyone gasped in surprise.

What’s this?

Why resort to killing just for disagreement?

The rain of arrows was evidently caused by the rule pollution of the bronze lion head.

Everyone looked towards Lin Baici, the only hope of the village.

After finishing its killing, the bronze lion head didn’t close its eyes, instead scanning over these people.

"I feel it could unleash an arrow rain at any time!"

"Stop ’feeling...’, be sure of it!"

"Think of something quickly!"

Everyone was anxious to death, and those with Defensive Grace had already activated it.

"Alumni!"

Just as Gu Qingqiu was about to speak, Lin Baici, Dudek, and San Miyairi all opened their mouths.

They didn’t communicate with the bronze lion head but instead sang a song.

Attentive people could tell their tone was the same as the song that rang out after the long-haired man knocked on the door.

Yeah,

This might be the way to purify!

Amid their fear, everyone felt a little hope.

"No wonder you’re my alum!"

Gu Qingqiu smiled, teaming up with geniuses sure was comforting.

Relying on Passing Ears Recitation, Lin Baici could remember things heard word for word, and he also activated Mantra Buddha Resound.

Apparently, San Miyairi and Dudek also had similar effects with Divine Grace. Otherwise, relying solely on individual talent, hearing the Great Qin verse once and singing it perfectly right after was impossible.

After the three finished singing, those Armored Soldiers didn’t collectively shout about strong wind or death battle, but their stern expressions relaxed significantly.

Those who chant the Great Qin verse must be its own people, hence allies worthy of a friendship.

This round of rule pollution was called Questioning Before the City.

Right now was the first question.

If Lin Baici and the others didn’t chant the Great Qin verse, the awakened bronze lion head would have killed them directly.

Want to leave?

Impossible, those soldiers by the side and on top of the city were definitely not idle.

Now, with the first question passed, the bronze lion head spoke.

"I ask you, what business do you have here?"

This voice carried the clanging resonance of metal and iron, entering the ears as if someone was vigorously sanding the eardrum with sandpaper.

Everyone dared not answer randomly, instinctively looking at Lin Baici, then at Dudek.

Some even glanced at San Miyairi.

Because these three had sung that verse.

San Miyairi was unsure what to answer, instinctively feeling Lin Baici’s answer should be better.
