In Rock City, Kuiye's brothel is the largest and most luxurious, and the entry and exit are full of powerful people, and correspondingly, the strength of the guards is also quite good.
While leaving in a hurry, I already sensed that the strength of the person chasing behind me was at least in the realm of the Demon King.
So the feet are speeding up even more.
Fortunately, I found it just in time, after coming out of the alley, it was the most prosperous part of Rock City, although it was late at night, there were many pedestrians on the road, and after blending in with the crowd, it was difficult for the pursuers behind me to lock my breath.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and after making two rounds around the street, I came to an alley not far from the main entrance of the inn and found Namu.
At this time, he was feeding the women on the cart, and when he saw me returning, he asked me with some distress what to do with them.
This is a tricky question, these women were captured by the rat people, most of them are not from Rock City, and I am afraid that they will have to spend some money to let them go back on their own.
There are still a lot of gold coins in the money bag I got from the pig-headed man last time, and it is a trivial matter to spend some money, the key is that the demon domain is not very peaceful, and they are likely to encounter danger again on the way back, which I can't help.
After listening to my words, Namu nodded, "That's all there is to it." ” After taking the medicine, about half an hour later, Tana was the first to wake up, and when she opened her eyes and saw us by her side, she immediately threw herself into Namu's arms, crying with joy, "Namu, I thought I would never see you again." ” The sudden hug made Namu a little at a loss, and after a long time, he carefully comforted Tana and calmed her down.
As for the other women on the cart, they soon woke up one after another.
Compared to Tana's excitement, the women had never seen us before, and their faces were still tense.
I asked Namu to give each of them two gold coins, and then explained what had happened, and then let them go on their own.
After dealing with these things, we took Tana back to the inn, opened another room, and arranged for the exhausted Tana to rest first, while Namu and I went back to the room, and after dinner, Namu didn't talk too much about Tana, but directly started to practice.
Seeing him so diligent, I was somewhat relieved.
Thinking about what happened in the purple bamboo forest today, he realized his responsibility.
Speaking of which, thanks to Otto, the leader of the bears, this man looks fierce and does not speak well, but in fact he is a warm-hearted person, and does not look down on the kobolds, but helps us a lot without a trace.
For the next two days, except for Namu who took Tana out to buy some clothes, we basically stayed in the inn to continue our cultivation.
Although it was only a selection from one academy, judging from my current situation, entering THAAD Academy was the only way to quickly resume my cultivation, and I didn't dare to slack off.
Two days later, early in the morning, the notice of the THAAD Academy spread all over the city, and the students who applied for the examination appeared from all corners of the city, gathered together, and hurried in the direction of the purple bamboo forest.
Namu and Tana and I followed the others all the way.
Because some time ago, I helped Namu open many acupuncture points, coupled with the effect of the elixir fruit, the temporary assault of these three days allowed him to cultivate directly into the middle stage of the demon spirit, which made Namu's confidence increase a lot.
As for Tana, although she only has the cultivation of the early stage of the demon spirit, she is only fifteen years old this year, and she has such a cultivation, and her talent can be seen.
As for me, although the three days of penance did not dredge up new acupoints, the previous few acupoints have been restored at this time, and there is naturally no problem in passing the assessment of the Sade Academy, the only difficulty is to hide my identity.
At present, I still don't know the specific process of the assessment, so I can't prepare in advance, so I can only adapt to the situation at that time.
When we arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest, a few days ago, a little empty stone square, a high platform had been built, on which there were six or seven rattan chairs, behind the rattan chairs stood several rows of bear soldiers, in front of which was a huge stone jar, in which a pillar was more than one person high, bamboo-like thick yellow incense, at this time the yellow incense had burned most of it.
On both sides of the incense case, there are four cowhide drums, and next to each side are four bear warriors holding drumsticks on standby.
Including us, hundreds of people have gathered in the square at this time, and it seems that Otto is right, there are really a lot of people participating in the selection this year.
As the yellow incense burned out, the four bear warriors beat the giant drum, and the noisy sound in the square stopped in an instant.
At the same time, several richly dressed orcs came out of the high platform.
Different from ordinary half-orcs, the faces of these people are not much different from those of the human race, only subtle differences such as ears and canine teeth, and they should all have the cultivation of the demon king or above, and they have completely turned into human form.
Soon there was a discussion in the crowd, and it was learned from them that these were the elders in charge of the five sects of the Thad Academy.
They sat down one by one, leaving the most central seat vacated, which should have been reserved for the dean.
However, when a middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe with dozens of wolf heads embroidered on it appeared, everyone let out a burst of exclamation, and they all knelt down and shouted, "Meet the city lord." ” City Lord?
This person is actually the city lord of Rock City, could it be that he is presiding over the selection meeting today?
This conjecture was soon confirmed.
The city lord, who was obviously a wolf clan, lightly flicked his sleeves and motioned for everyone to get up, and then spoke, "Abbot Heber has been in retreat for many days, and today's meeting will be presided over by this seat himself.
You don't need to be informal, just give full play to your talents. ” With that, he turned to look at the purple-robed elder on the side and handed over the rest to him.
The purple-robed elder understood, arched his hand towards the city lord, and then walked to the stage to announce the official start of the selection meeting.
With his voice, a tight drum beat sounded.
This time, the drum sound was different from the previous ones, it seemed to be rapid, but the rhythm points in it were very hidden, like a spell that urged the magic weapon.
Sure enough, the sound of the drums hit the ears, and the faces of the people around them immediately became unsightly, and even more suddenly fell to the ground, their eyes turned white and their limbs twitched.
I'm physically stronger than anyone else, and the drums don't do anything for me.
However, Namu and Tana on my side couldn't be as calm as me, and they squatted on the ground and blocked their ears, which was also very painful.
As the drums beat faster, many people around me were already crouching or falling, and there were only a few who could be as calm as I was.
After another few tens of seconds, the drums beat faster again, and there was only one person standing in the square except me.

I looked over with some curiosity, and found that this person had cat ears and cat lips, with a cold expression, obviously a person from the cat clan, and his cultivation was about the middle stage of the demon spirit, and he didn't seem to feel anything strange, and he didn't know why he could resist such a tight drum sound.
Among the half-orcs, the cat clan is also a highly talented race, far superior to the kobolds.
Therefore, seeing that there were only two of us left in the arena at this time, the eyes of the city lord and several elders were all focused on me, and it seemed that they were still discussing something in a whisper.
Naturally, I didn't want to get their attention, and was about to pretend to faint and collapse.
At this time, Namu's snort of pain was heard from his side, and I turned my head to see that his face was contorted, and blood was oozing from his mouth and nose, while Tana was in an even worse condition, and at this time he had fallen to the ground and was convulsing.
Seeing this, I immediately pretended to be in pain and fell down, leaned next to Namu and Tana, and softly recited the Taoist Pure Heart Mantra to help them dispel the pain at this time.
The grade of this Heart Purifying Mantra is very low, and it doesn't need to drive many Dao Qi, but at this time, it has a great effect, and the painful expressions on the faces of Namu and Tana quickly eased and regained their calm.
The drums continued for half an hour, and with the final hammer falling, the first level of the conference was completely over.
At this time, there were less than two hundred people in the originally dark square, who could barely get up from the ground.
The rest of the people were carried by the bear soldiers to the resting building and treated in the research and medicine institute.
A purple-robed elder stood up from his seat, walked to the front of the stage, and said loudly, "Congratulations on passing the first level of assessment.
But then, the assessment will only be more severe, and only the bravest orcs will be able to pass. ” With that, he waved his hand at Otto, as if giving some kind of order.
Otto returned the salute and slammed his spear to the ground, and at the same time, the bear-man soldiers standing around him howled in unison, and then walked towards us with their spears in hand.
