Chapter 159: "The Evil Spirit" and Winning Back Territory (1)
"Big sister, second sister, come out quickly, look who's here!" As soon as he entered the gate of the King Kong Gang, Zhang Xiaodi shouted at the top of his voice, and his voice spread far away. The gang members and their families who were working and chatting nearby came out to watch the fun. Because Zhang Xiaodi took Yun Bai and the other five people around the King Kong Gang's base last time, almost all the gang members of the King Kong Gang and many of their families knew them. When they saw that it was Yun Bai and his friends coming, everyone was very happy and greeted them very enthusiastically. Apart from anything else, although the land of chaos has always been xenophobic, that was only due to the policies of those in power. In fact, many of the people here are very hospitable and simple, which deeply touched Yun Bai.
"Haha! You're finally here! We've been waiting for so long!" Soon, the leader and second leader of the King Kong Gang came out to greet them. The two women, one beautiful and one strong, formed a beautiful landscape. The second sister Zhang Zhaodi and Xiaohua got along best. When they met, she didn't care about anything else and wanted to ask her to "fight" with them. Xiaohua was of course happy to agree, but they were both stopped by their two sisters (Zhang Dadi and Yunbai) in a low voice.
Yun Bai was very happy to revisit the old place. Although there was not much change in appearance, the expressions of the gang members and their families showed joy, abundance and confidence. It seemed that the King Kong Gang had benefited a lot since the discovery of the spiritual spring. As expected, at the welcoming banquet which was much more sumptuous than the last time, the eldest sister Zhang Dadi introduced to everyone some of the developments in the gang after they left, and the younger brother Zhang also happily supplemented it.
As Zhang Xiaodi said on the way, after they found the spiritual spring, they reported it to the Cangmang Gang as soon as possible. The Cangmang Gang also sent people to check it out. They found that although the spiritual spring was only of the second grade, it was very large and had the potential to be promoted to the third grade. For this reason, the Cangmang Gang generously gave them a large amount of spiritual coins and added 30 contribution points for them. This contribution point can be very useful in the chaotic land. It can not only be directly used in the annual competition, but also in the ranking and grading of gangs after the competition. It can even replace spiritual coins. It can be said that it is a hard circulation here. With these 30 points, the King Kong Gang not only greatly increases the chances of winning the competition, but also has the hope of taking this opportunity to work hard for another year or two and be promoted to a third-grade gang! Once the grade is promoted, their territory will expand, and they can also enjoy more preferential treatment, such as tax exemptions, participation in decision-making voting, etc.
The King Kong Gang carefully planned the spiritual coins they received. Some of them were used to purchase martial arts and other spiritual skills books, elixirs, etc. to improve the overall strength of the gang members; some were used to purchase spiritual tools, spiritual fields and spiritual seedlings to increase income; some were retained as reserve funds; and the last part was directly distributed to all gang members to improve their lives. However, the three gang leaders did not take a penny. This made Yun Bai and others very impressed - although they seemed to have suffered a loss in money, they further won the hearts of the people, and this is the most precious wealth.
With the support of excellent elixirs and martial arts, over the past few months, dozens of people in the gang have been promoted. Two have even broken through to six stars, and Zhang Dadi has even broken through to seven stars - this is already the ceiling of combat power for a second-grade gang.
"My second sister's cultivation has increased dramatically. This time, we must defeat those sick cats and win back the lost territory!" After saying this, Zhang clenched his fists and said confidently. Yun Bai and the others immediately cheered them up.
The meal was quite pleasant. After the meal, it was already dark. It was winter now, and I thought there wouldn't be any nice sights outside, but Zhang Xiaodi said mysteriously that he would take everyone outside for a walk. Yun Bai and the others naturally didn't refuse, so they followed him out. The monks have spiritual power to protect themselves, so even though it is freezing cold now, they don't feel cold, but feel comfortable and relaxed in the heavy snow that has just started. It's still the same road, the same scenery, but the difference is that there are all kinds of colorful lights hanging at the door of every household!
"Wow! This is so beautiful!" Yun Bai couldn't help but admire it. He ran a few steps to get closer to see it clearly. There are many kinds of lanterns, some are made of paper, some are made of ice crystals, and there are even small spiritual tools that are not yet in the grade! The shapes of the lanterns are also varied, there are beautiful spiritual flowers, fruits, cute little spiritual animals... Yun Bai was overwhelmed and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow" non-stop. Xiaohua and the three boys beside him also praised it.
"Hey, how about it? Isn't it beautiful? This is our tradition. At the end of every year, every household will make lanterns by themselves and hang them at the door or in the yard. On the one hand, it is to pray for the coming year, and on the other hand, it also adds a little flavor of the New Year." Zhang said proudly, and introduced those special "good lanterns" to Yun Bai and the others one by one. "Our gang will also organize a lantern competition. There will be rewards for the top rankings. Although they are not expensive prizes, they are for good intentions and good mood. Everyone is willing to participate. Just two days ago, Zhao Dabao's family said that they would give us a surprise this year!"
"Great! So good! So beautiful!" Yun Bai didn't know what to say anymore. He couldn't take it all in. His eyes were full of stars. Xiao Hua was a rough-minded person. She wasn't as excited as Yun Bai, but seeing her Senior Sister Xiao Bai so happy, she also laughed along. Mu Yun and the other three boys also had a rare moment of leisure. In the flying snow, accompanied by Yun Bai's exclamations and exclamations, they actually felt a sense of emptiness in their souls...
"How about we hold a lantern festival when we get back?" After looking at all the lanterns, Yun Bai was still not satisfied, and her eyes were still twinkling with little stars. She discussed with Xiao Hua and the others. However, she originally just wanted to have a lively time in the Happy Courtyard, but she didn't expect that everyone would simply hold a wonderful large-scale event in the commercial street - and this thing became a reality soon after...
The next morning, the three leaders of the King Kong Gang, Zhang Dadi, Zhaodi, and Xiaodi, led 30 experts, along with five specially invited guests, Yun Bai, and set off for the competition venue. Before leaving, all the gang members gathered at the door, sent encouragement and blessings with the highest standard of farewell ceremony, and promised the three leaders that they would definitely protect the home and wait for their triumphant return!
"The competition is mainly about fighting. But this year, we have added new projects from other spiritual professions, such as spiritual plant masters, spiritual alchemists, and spiritual chefs. These are very helpful in improving strength, so they have also been added to the competition. You may not know that on the day you left, a large restricted area suddenly appeared in the depths of the Chaos Forest. Moreover, this restricted area was jointly drawn by 18 people in charge, and a decree was jointly issued, prohibiting everyone from entering. It was also after this that the upper level seemed to further relax the policy of isolation from the outside world, and more outsiders began to appear here. Therefore, we have broadened our horizons, and the benefits have become more lucrative." On the way, Zhang Xiaodi introduced Yun Bai and others. Then he suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"According to inside information, it will be gradually opened up in the future. Maybe one day, this place will be able to completely integrate with the outside world! It is said that in addition to martial arts, the importance of spiritual plant masters, spiritual alchemists, spiritual chefs, etc. will become increasingly important in the future!"
Just as he was vividly introducing the content and rules of the competition to several people, a discordant voice suddenly came from a distance. Then, everyone met several old acquaintances again and several ferocious strangers.
