"Look, Master Lu Zhishang has returned from the Aie Mountains. The head of a sea creature he is holding in his hand, isn't it the head of Dillman, the sixth-level sea creature that the guild is offering a bounty for?"

In the square near the gate of Gruul City, a group of passing adventurers saw Lu Zhishang returning from outside the city and immediately started a discussion.

"How dare you address me by my name, Lord Dragon King!"

"Ah, yes, yes, Lord Dragon King!"

“Isn’t it easy for Lord Dragon King to deal with the sixth-level sea creatures?

At that time, Kaner, the seventh-level general of the sea clan, cooperated with several seventh-level generals of the sea clan and led thousands of sea clans to launch a surprise attack on the city of Gruul.

The scene where Lord Dragon King came out of the city to resist, and with one punch in the battle, the dragon broke through the army and killed Kaner instantly is still imprinted in my mind!

Have you guys seen my hair? "

"You have shaved your head, where did the hair come from?"

whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The shaved adventurer waved the iron rod in his hand and said proudly: "Yes, this is my respect for Lord Dragon King!"

"I was there during that battle, and I was nearly stabbed to death by a Dogecoin sea dog."

A young adventurer next to the bald man said to the others with an exaggerated expression: "At that time, I had just kicked a sea creature away and chopped down another one.

Then the weapon in my hand was clamped by a crab.

There is a yaksha under my feet.

The sea lion next to me took advantage of my inability to fight back and chopped at me with a big knife.

It happened in the blink of an eye!

A bloody ferocious tiger swooped by and instantly tore the enemy in front of me into pieces.

When I looked closely, I realized that the tall figure in front of me was Lord Tiger King!

I got wet on the spot!"

"Blow some more! Are you sure you weren't scared to death by a sea lion?"

"Alas, I heard that Lord Tiger King is even stronger than Lord Dragon King!"

"The Destroyer Dragon is the strongest!"

"The fierce tiger is invincible in the world!"

"Destroy the dragon!"

"The fierce tiger!"

As they talked, the adventurers split into two groups and started arguing with each other.

"Tsk~, a bunch of simple-minded melee fighters, it's obvious that the Phoenix King is the most powerful!"

"Um?"

When the adventurers heard this, they all turned around and looked at the person who had spoken, shouting, "What did you say?"

The mage adventurer who was yelled at patted his mage robe and said slowly: "I admit that Lord Tiger King is very strong, Lord Dragon King is also very strong.

But do you know who killed the most enemies in the war with the sea tribe a month ago?

It’s our Exploding Witch, Lady Phoenix King Geng Qingxue!

With one move [Ashes of Annihilation], fire spreads across the prairie, killing thousands of enemies!

Isn't this the strongest achievement?"

"What's the big deal about quantity? It's the quality that matters!"

"Hey~, Lord Phoenix King killed more than one seventh-level sea creature!"

"I don't care, Lord Dragon King is the strongest among the twelve zodiac kings!"

"It's Lord Tiger King!"

"Phoenix King! Phoenix King!! Phoenix King!!!"

…

A month ago, it was also half a month after Xue Feibai and his companions arrived in the southern border.

There was a great battle between the sea tribe and the kingdom's army.

Before the war even started, Meng Xin had already obtained intelligence!

The kingdom's army was on high alert, catching the sea tribe's "raid" army off guard.

During the battle, several people also showed strong fighting ability, which made the war situation tilt towards the kingdom!

After repelling the attack of the sea clan, killing several seventh-level sea clan generals and winning a great victory.

As great contributors, Xue Feibai and his companions were worshipped by a large number of adventurers and people in the city!

During this period, the names that several people deliberately said in public were also widely spread in the city.

The story about the adventurer Zodiac King also spread.

Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken (phoenix), dog (canine), pig!

Although I didn’t know what the zodiac was before.

But as long as one is an adventurer, he or she will be full of admiration for the Adventurer King represented by these zodiac signs!

After all, the Zodiac King’s strength starts at level seven!

In addition to [Tiger King] Xue Feibai, [Dragon King] Lu Zhishang, and [Phoenix King] Geng Qingxue.

There is also the [Rat King] Meng Xin, who hid in the shadows and ventured deep behind enemy lines to gather intelligence on the sea clan's attack.

As a knight, he protects his teammates as the [Horse King] Lu Yan.

The priest Shuanghua who saved countless people on the battlefield, [Rabbit King] Liu Rongrong and [Sheep King] Ning Wen.

And the hunter profession [Bull King] Wang Zixuan who is an archer with 100% accuracy.

Xue Feibai and his friends were as close as brothers and sisters, and they never cared about who was stronger or weaker.

However, adventurers in the city often quarrel over who is the strongest.

But it was limited to quarrels.

Everyone knows that although Gruul City is small, there are now more than thirty high-level professionals in the city!

No one dared to act rashly in the city.

Moreover, everyone discovered that there are only eight zodiac kings at present.

Snake King, Monkey King, Dog King, Pig King.

There are still four zodiac kings who have not shown up.

Since the first eight are all vice presidents of the Adventurer's Guild, some people speculate that An Nuo is also one of the Twelve Kings. The rest may be hidden high-level figures of the Adventurer's Guild.

There is another saying.

Currently there are only eight of the Twelve Kings.

If an adventurer breaks through to a high level, he will receive an invitation from the Adventurer's Guild to serve as one of the remaining four kings.

Both rumors have considerable supporters.

And more people agree with the second statement.

Many sixth-level adventurers have been frantically completing quests to improve their strength and adventurer level during this period of time.

The purpose is to fight for the only four remaining kings!

Of course, after seeing the fighting power of the Eight Kings, everyone understood that it took extremely strong strength to become the Twelve Kings.

But what if?

Yes or no?

If you don't fight for it, you really won't have any chance at all!

The Adventurer's Guild is so powerful that once you become one of the Twelve Kings, your status and position will be much higher than that of an ordinary seventh-level strongman.

Inside the Adventurer's Guild.

After returning, Lu Zhishang went upstairs under the admiring gazes of the guild staff and adventurers in the hall.

In the conference room on the third floor, when Lu Zhishang came in, Xue Feibai and Geng Qingxue were already seated.

Besides them, there was a snake woman in the conference room and a monkey standing restlessly in the corner.

"I'm not the last one?"

Lu Zhishang pulled out a chair and sat down, then picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Geng Qingxue leaned back in the chair, stretched and said, "Rongrong and Xiaowen are still in the army treating the wounded, and Lu Yan went to protect them. But I asked Meng Xin and Zixuan to call them half an hour ago."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened again.

Liu Rongrong poked her head in and said to Lu Zhishang and the other two, "We're back!"

Then, all the women came in.

Without An Nuo, the team is still led by Xue Feibai.

After everyone was seated, Xue Feibai spoke:

“I know everyone has been very busy since arriving in Gruul City.

Especially the battle a week ago, if it weren't for Rongrong and Xiaowen, we might still be lying in bed sick!

I called everyone here for a meeting today, mainly to discuss two things.

First, let me introduce to you the new member of the Twelve Kings, [Monkey King] Sun! "

"Hello, seniors!"

Sun immediately straightened his back, faced everyone, and said nervously: "I am Sun. Thank you, President, for your appreciation and giving me the title of Monkey King. It's an honor to work with you all!"
