The square wooden signs delivered to the two of them were engraved with the corresponding numbers ‘32’ and ‘33’.

. )

"The number should refer to the order of arrival. Before us, more than 30 people had arrived. Some strong people should have communicated with the Bodhi Patriarch in advance and came to the Sha China early. There should be ten Onitums among them. Zhang Chen, do you want to talk to him? There is something about ghosts."

"No need for the time being, let's find a place to live first."

There is a situation about ghosts, Zhang Chen does need to talk to Onitsuka, but time is not now. Zhang Chen has his own plans in his heart.

"It seems that the disciples under Bodhi are not all bald monks. They are all ordinary creatures in their care. They give the sand China, which has been covered with dust for thousands of years and has no vitality, to re-grow the prosperous appearance of the past. This Bodhi really has some tricks. Brother Zhang Chen, we should have a slightly remote hotel earlier. It doesn't matter if the environment is a little bit too bad. Quietness is important to us, right?"

"kindness."

The two of them did not choose to walk on the crowded streets, but chose a quiet alley and walked directly to the edge of the town in Sand China. They did not meet any acquaintances along the way. After all, there are only thirty people in such a huge town at present, and everyone will not casually disperse their perceptions to capture the traces of others out of etiquette.

The architectural characteristics of sand China are similar to the heyday of ancient Persian culture, and all buildings are composed of fine sand.

The closer they were to the edge, the less noise there was on the street. When the two returned to the street from the alley, the total number of shops on the entire street was no more than five, but there was a secluded hotel that Zhang and Chen wanted to find.

Compared with the luxury hotels covering an area of ​​1,000 square meters in the main urban area, the hotel here is only two stories high, and the area of ​​more than 100 square meters is divided into several small compartments of about 50 square meters. The level of service is naturally much lower in all aspects. There is only an elderly couple in charge of the hotel. It is estimated that the old man is responsible for collecting the accounts and the old lady is responsible for organizing the hotel rooms.

"Boss, there are still rooms here? I heard that this wooden sign allows you to stay in a hotel for free, right?"

Zhang Chen took the initiative to go up and negotiate with the other party, so as not to scare Yu Ming, the boss who looks honest.

"This... why do you two powerful figures who came early and choose small shops like me to live in? There are a large number of high-end hotels in the main urban area, which are much better than mine in any aspect. The wooden signs in your hands are all universal in those places and there will be no expense."

The hotel owner was quite puzzled why the two of them came to stay in their own hotel.

"Those places are indeed much better than yours, but you have benefits. Your hotel is quieter than them, right? Let's arrange two rooms closer to the interior for me and my friend. Do you need to be held with your wooden sign?"

"No, these are your unique things. I just need to simply register your identity information."

The old man was quite honest and registered the wooden mark in the guest book of the accommodation.

"Can you please sign an ID here... If the two people are not convenient to disclose their names, they can use a code name instead. Because when the gathering is over, all the information needs to be handed over to the above for review, and no mistakes are allowed."

Zhang Chen doesn't care that such remote places will reveal his identity. Even if someone knows his name, when he sees his name in such a low-level hotel, others will only regard it as a duplicate name.

"Yu Ming, come and write it down too." Zhang Chen, who had finished writing his name, directly shouted Yu Ming's real name.

"kindness."

Yu Ming walked up and quickly signed his real name with a strange look, and looked at the honest hotel owner in front of him with a strange look, but he did not see anything unique.

"May I ask the boss's surname?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Just call me Old Man Huang. This is the key to the two rooms. My wife will lead you to the inner room. We will never disturb you to rest unless you have any requests."

"Please, two young people."

The boss lady dressed in a simple manner and greeted the two of them to the second floor. There were all kinds of rooms in the 50-square-meter room. I thought the floor of the house made of sand and gravel would be quite rough, but the sand and gravel inside were smooth and suitable, and the heat transfer rate was very low, which kept the room temperature at around 20c, making it very comfortable to live.

When the boss's wife left, Zhang Chen and Yu Ming were in the same room and discussed the situation in Sha China.

"Yu Ming, this gathering of Bodhi Patriarch should be more than just gathering the zero forces at this critical moment, right? The scale of this gathering was so grand. In the initial information given to you by Bodhi Patriarch, did it involve some other things?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Zhang Chen, your ability to observe and analyze things has increased. The main purpose of this gathering is naturally to gather all forces between zero, but how to gather? Just talking verbally, it may be difficult to stabilize the morale of the army under the powerful offensive of Azathoth. Therefore, a competition between the strong will be held during this period of the gathering."

"As it turns out, is it necessary to select a few leading figures and use their true strength to consolidate the morale of all forces in Zero?"

Zhang Chen also had some guesses in his mind. Although he had the former ranking of apostles, he could consider the strength of his strength, judging from the foundation displayed by Bodhi Patriarch, there may be several figures in the Buddha realm who have reached the level of apostles. Some other great realms with profound backgrounds may not be the only one holder of the Wangge who has reached the level of apostles.

"I'm afraid there will be many people who have reached the apostle level suddenly appearing?" Zhang Chen asked.

"The number of people at the apostle level is not important. What Bodhi Patriarch cares more is how many people are currently at the level of fighting with Azathus among all the forces in the Zero? After all, there are probably many strong people hidden in Zero. Some strong people who don't like the hustle and bustle of the world often hide in some unknown small and medium-sized realms, and even wander in Zero as wanderers."

"The fundamental purpose of Bodhi is to use this gathering to see through the real foundation of both the light and dark sides of the current zero."

After hearing this, Zhang Chen still had some questions: "How do you know that these people who are tolerant of the world will appear?"

"Bodhi Patriarch has spent a lot of energy on today's gathering. Zhang Chen, the winner's reward in this competition session, guess what it is? There is only one winner, and Bodhi Patriarch has taken out his belongings."

"Is it a magic weapon?" Zhang Chen was a little interested when Yu Ming said this.

"Haha, it's easy to guess. On the back of the letter I informed us, the winner will receive the artifact reward. According to the old guy Bodhi's actions, the artifact's grade will definitely not be bad. As for what kind of artifact it is, I'm afraid you will not know until tomorrow."

"To be honest, I am really looking forward to it. Such rare items as magical artifacts are used as rewards. Currently, only Bodhi has such a foundation. Bodhi, this guy, may have explored many secret relics left by his predecessors in thousands of years through the Great Blood Technique, and I believe he has gained a lot of benefits from it."

Yu Ming exposed his tongue and walked his lips together. It seemed that Yu Ming was very interested in this prize.

"Is there only one winner? The competition is too fierce, right?" Zhang Chen asked back.

"I don't know the specific rules. Bodhi Patriarch will naturally explain it when the assembly begins. If Zhang Chen, you are lucky, maybe you have the chance to fight Onitsuka on such a platform? Zhang Chen, you should be looking forward to it, right?" Yu Ming patted Zhang Chen's shoulder and asked with an evil smile.

"I hope I have the opportunity to meet Onitsuka one-on-one. If it really happens, what are the chances of me winning Onitsuka?"

"Risk?...Well, Zhang Chen, do you want to listen to the truth?" Yu Ming pulled his head with his fingers.

"You're talking nonsense."

"To be honest, your chances of winning against Onitsuka are probably less than 10%. Including all the trump cards you may have in front of you, you can only increase the winning rate of 10% at most. There is no more."

"As it really, is it far behind? But I still want to have the opportunity to compete with Onitsuka and see where the gap is."

Yu Ming's words aroused Zhang Chen's desire to compete with Onitsuka in person. Zhang Chen, who had just arrived in the middle and lower reaches of the apostles, went to the ghost world and stood in front of Onitsuka. Zhang Chen, who was standing in front of Onitsuka, felt that the gap between the two was like a natural barrier that was insurmountable.

However, Zhang Chen is currently trained in various events that happened in zero. The real ghost form has also been opened and has reached the fullest half. Zhang Chen feels that he has the qualification to be side by side with the second apostle Onitum, which was once difficult to reach.

"Don't think too much, things will go with the flow. Now we should go to the streets to buy something. I guess we need to stay in Sand China for at least one week, and some essential daily necessities are still needed."

It is true that the two chose to live in such a remote area. All the powerful men from Zero who arrived in the early days chose to live in bustling hotels in the main urban area. No one would choose to come here to live in such inferior hotels...

As the day passed, and when the last day left before the opening of the rally, the temple that was originally located in the desert of Souls disappeared completely with the departure of the two gatekeepers.

What was transformed was the entity of the huge sand China, which allowed personnel from all walks of life who were building tents on the edge of the lonely soul desert to rest to have a target. After rest and rectify, they immediately rushed towards the sand China.

The zero-force gathering held by Bodhi Patriarch is about to begin... (To be continued.)
