"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
The front line, the place closest to the abyss, is in a sense also part of the danger of the abyss.
After signing the contract, Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan entered the camp.
The camp has now developed into a town, where many adventurers who could not return to the Abyss have settled down, married, and had children.
Their children may never have left this small town from birth to death.
Perhaps there will also be a story of a boy who yearns for freedom, finally leaves the camp, only to be turned into a monster in the abyss, and is eventually awakened to his senses by his childhood sweetheart, and together they, who have also become monsters, live together in the abyss, hunting adventurers and sharing a love story.
The two walked down the street, attracting onlookers along the way.
'Great power' is common here, but it's rare to see someone as arrogant and blatant as Li Changzhou.
Soon, news of a new 'great power' arriving at the camp was delivered to various factions, along with speculation about the 'black box's' abilities.
Whether it's a game of value or a 'great power', intelligence is crucial.
Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan went directly to the Black Flame Dragon's manor.
The blind man was pulled out of the black box by a black hand. With him there, the people in the manor naturally dared not ask any questions.
In the manor's living room, Li Changzhou instructed, "Send your men to gather information."
"Sir, which side of the story do you need to find out?" the blind man asked.
"A woman. The most beautiful woman in the camp."
"......yes."
Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan turned around and entered a clean bedroom that a maid had prepared. Yang Qinglan immediately took off her thick winter clothes.
She was covered in a fine sweat, her long black hair damp against her fair, jade-like face, like a watercolor painting.
Li Changzhou also took off his winter clothes, revealing himself to be covered in sweat.
The people in the camp were already used to this kind of thing, so the maid quickly brought over a large wooden tub for bathing and some new clothes.
Yang Qinglan was taking a bath, while Li Changzhou sat at the table drinking iced tea. Outside the window, the sun shone brightly, and the sycamore trees were lush and green.
“Who would have thought this was inside the abyss?” he sighed.
Yang Qinglan didn't reply; all that could be heard was the sound of water splashing on her skin.
Li Changzhou put down his cup, stood up, and was about to...
Bang!
The door was kicked open with a bang.
Yang Qinglan curled up, and darkness surged up, enveloping the wooden tub. Li Changzhou stepped forward.
The black box containing the monster moved sideways, its side facing the door about to open like an eyelid.
Who is it?
How could they possibly fool Yang Qinglan's "leaf figures" placed in front of the door?
"Room check!" a voice suddenly boomed. "Men, stand on the left; women, stand on the right; those who are neither male nor female, stand in the middle! Anyone who dares to book a room in broad daylight, you'll be jailed for life!"
Wearing a corset that revealed her flat stomach and sexy shoulders, paired with a pair of well-made trousers, and with her hair tied in a ponytail, she walked in from outside, her whole body glowing white.
Li Changzhou: "..."
The darkness protecting Yang Qinglan transformed into a black hand, grabbing at her. Li Qianxia swayed and transformed into a bird, escaping through the gaps in the black hand's fingers.
"Haha, brother, are you any good, brother? Lulu lulu~" the little bird mocked.
Yang Qinglan covered her chest with her left hand, grabbed the 'Extreme Cold Ice Sword' leaning against the edge of the wooden barrel with her right hand, and thrust it through the air.
The bird slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly flapped its wings.
"Brother...brother...sister-in-law...sister-in-law...I...was...wrong..."
