C1172 Not a Bad Attempt
They were also wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands, but they did not look like soldiers at all. They stood there, twisting and turning, as if they could lie down at any time. Each of them had their arms around their shoulders and smiles on their faces. They did not look like good people at all.
As the saying goes, even if a monkey wore a military uniform, he would not be a general. Even if this group of people wore armor and held weapons, they did not look like soldiers. Instead, they looked like a group of gangsters.
These guys were people who came out of the market.
Most of these people were somewhat clever. They were either apprentices from various shops, or servants and bookkeepers from other shops. All kinds of long-term, short-term companions were the main force among them.
These people were smart and knowledgeable. They were not easily fooled and had poor discipline. Therefore, during the first recruitment, no one was willing to hire these guys.
However, as the war became more and more disadvantageous, the government had no choice but to recruit these people into the army. Even if they knew that they were useless, they could still help strengthen the city walls and be laborers.
This was the situation of ordinary people. Regarding the Soul Cultivator, the government's recruitment this time was completely different.
The Soul Cultivator had never been a group that was used to being forced. Even at the most critical moment, the government was not used to it. The government officials did not dare to treat the Soul Cultivator the same way they treated ordinary people. The attitude of the government officials towards the Soul Cultivator. As usual, they were polite.
All kinds of rewards were also opened, and the prices were clearly marked. One barbarian had a low-grade Soul Stone on his head, while the other had a middle-grade Soul Stone on Brutal General's head. So on and so forth. The higher the status of the barbarian killed, the stronger his strength would be. The more rewards he would receive.
Not only would they get rewards from the Soul Stone, but they would also get cultivation techniques and combat skills as rewards.
The place where the Soul Cultivator was gathered was very far away from ordinary people. They were next to a huge Airship.
Ye Bufan revealed his identity. Immediately, someone came up to greet him and lead him to the side of the Airship.
Ye Bufan did not know any other Soul Cultivator, so he set his eyes on the Airship. He discovered that this Airship was slightly smaller than the one he rode to the Heavenly Treasure State, and its size was even more slender. The hanging cabin had also shrunk a lot.
However, the materials used to make this Airship were much better than any Airship he had seen before.
The huge body of the boat was made from the skin of the Demonic Beast. The surface of the boat was also emitting a faint light. Obviously, it stimulated the characteristics of the Demonic Beast skin itself.
The materials of the pod were glittering with silver light. It was obvious that they had added gold to the steel, making the pod tougher.
It was obvious that this was an Airship that was specially designed to be used in the battlefield.
Ye Bufan estimated that these Soul Cultivator were going to take this Airship to the battlefield, which was also the Pingling Pass.
He looked around and only found this Airship. He could not help but feel strange in his heart. Didn't those soldiers who were made up of ordinary people take the Airship to the battlefield? Or was their Airship not in place yet?
However, it was too late for him to wait for the answer.
The officials from the government started to call out names not long after Ye Bufan arrived.
After they called out their names, they immediately waved their hands to let them enter the Airship.
Ye Bufan silently counted in his heart and discovered that the number of Soul Cultivator recruited this time was about three hundred people.
This made him secretly surprised. He didn't think that there would be so many Soul Cultivator in Heavenly Treasure State.
When he was in Pingkang Workshop, he heard that there were very few Soul Cultivator in Changle Gang. He felt that there might not be too many of them in the entire Heavenly Treasure State.
But when he saw that there were so many people in the recruited Soul Cultivator, Ye Bufan finally understood. It wasn't that the number of Soul Cultivator in the Heavenly Treasure State wasn't that many, it was just that they didn't think much of the Changle Gang.
The Changle Gang was the biggest gang in the Linhai. Now, it seemed like they only had some power and status among the ordinary people. If they really ran into big families and government forces, they would not be enough to deal with them.
Therefore, although the Changle Gang had connections in all aspects, these connections didn't belong to the Changle Gang's own strength. It was just a form of leverage. As for the Soul Cultivator, it was the job that they attached the most importance to. It was because of its own strength that the Soul Cultivator was not interested in. Hence, it was easy to understand.
Even someone like Ye Bufan, who didn't have the pride of the Soul Cultivator, had no interest in joining the Changle Gang, let alone those fellows who felt superior in every aspect once they became a Soul Cultivator.
Unfortunately, there were a lot of people who had such thoughts in the Soul Cultivator. It was a very common phenomenon.
That was why Ye Bufan had misjudged the number of people.
However, after seeing so many Soul Cultivator, Ye Bufan understood the cause and effect of the situation. He did not feel that there was anything that bothered him.
After walking into the Airship, Ye Bufan found his own room and walked in.
This Airship had the same principle as the one he took when he came to Heavenly Treasure State. It also used the spatial ability to make the narrow pod very big. It allowed every Soul Cultivator that came in to have their own room.
Ye Bufan walked into his own room and began to familiarize himself with all kinds of formations in his mind. At the same time, he started to imagine the terrain and conditions of the Pingling Pass. Perhaps he would have to arrange some formations based on the terrain and environment of the battlefield. Whether it was to provide assistance for this battle or to protect his own life, he might need formations, so he had to prepare in advance. Planning and planning were much more useful than making plans at the last minute.
Just as Ye Bufan was sitting on the bed and thinking about the situation of the battlefield, someone knocked on his door.
Who would look for him?
Ye Bufan felt that he no longer had any acquaintances on this Airship. Could it be that the government officials had something to announce?
This was the only thing he could think of.
But when he opened the door, he realized that the person standing at the door was not a government official, but a completely unfamiliar Soul Cultivator that he did not recognize.
"Who are you looking for?" Ye Bufan looked at the sunny looking young man in front of him and asked doubtfully. His intuition told him that the other party must have found the wrong person.
The man showed a sunny smile and said, "Hello, my name is Chung Feng. I am here to invite you to a meeting."
"What meeting?" Ye Bufan became slightly vigilant. Although he did not think that anyone would dare to make a move on the Airship, there were all kinds of people nowadays. It was not impossible to meet a madman.
The handsome man smiled. "Don't worry. No one will harm you. It was just that they were about to enter the battlefield. Since everyone was fated to be on an Airship, rather than being a bunch of loose sand, it's better to get to know each other. Even if we can't unite, at least we can make friends. "
"How is it? Are you coming?"
Ye Bufan thought for a moment. "Tell me the time and place. I need to think about it."
The young man smiled. He didn't seem to be afraid that Ye Bufan would find out the time and place was unfavorable to them. He directly told Ye Bufan the time and room number of the meeting, saying that he was welcome to go at any time.
After Chung Feng left, Ye Bufan started to think about this so-called meeting.
The reason for the meeting was very convincing.
After all, the place they were going to next was the battlefield, not an outing. Even if it was the Soul Cultivator, there was a high chance that they would die on the dangerous battlefield.
Therefore, it was human nature to feel worried.
It was precisely because they were worried that they could not avoid going to the battlefield. The best way would be to unite and make his side powerful enough. If he was strong enough to defeat any enemy, then naturally there wouldn't be any danger.
Even if one couldn't defeat a powerful enemy, it was still good to be feared. The Soul Cultivator that worked together would definitely have a better chance of survival than the Soul Cultivator that fought on their own.
Ye Bufan understood this point very well. However, even if he understood that joining forces was a good choice, he had never thought of finding someone else to join forces with before.
One of the reasons was that he didn't know this person. They couldn't even trust each other, so how could they work together?
Moreover, even if he wanted to join forces with others, others might not think that it was a good choice to join forces with him.
It was precisely because of these two reasons that Ye Bufan didn't continue on the road of working together. He just thought about it in his mind and then put it aside.
Now, there was actually someone who was forming an alliance. Regardless of whether it would succeed or not, it did not matter. Finally, it was a good attempt. Ye Bufan suddenly felt that it was necessary to take a look. As for whether he would join the organization or not, he would have to carefully evaluate before making a decision.
"Tonight, is the number one room in the sky?" Ye Bufan's face revealed a smile of anticipation.
Night soon came. Ye Bufan walked out of the room and came to the corridor. He first looked around the corridor, but he did not see anyone.
This made his heart jump. He felt that something was wrong.
If there were really people attending the meeting, it would be very lively at this time. Why was it quiet all around?
Ye Bufan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and returned to his room.
It was not that he did not want to go, but that he hid in his room and then walked out.
He walked all the way to the Sky No. 1 Room. He did not dare to show himself, but stood outside the door, wanting to eavesdrop. Of course, it would be even better if he could meet other people who came to attend the meeting.
Standing beside the door, Ye Bufan listened carefully, but unfortunately, he did not hear anything.
He didn't know whether the room here had soundproofing effects or if the people in the room had done something to it. In any case, Ye Bufan couldn't hear anything. He didn't know if there was anyone in the room. How many people were there? Were they traps? What kind of traps were they? He did not know any of these questions.
For a moment, Ye Bufan was at a loss for what to do.
He didn't dare to barge in, nor did he want to leave. Thus, he could only stand at the door, not knowing what to do.
However, his predicament was quickly rescued by someone else.
He heard footsteps coming from the corridor. He hurriedly dodged to the side and made space for himself. Although he was invisible, it did not mean that others would not bump into him.
