Three days passed in a flash, and in these three days, many city lords and deputy city lords of the city-state led the city's representative team to Yanmiao City, and they gathered in the city lord's mansion, which made the entire Yanmiao City more lively, not only that, but many tourists also came from afar, in order to participate in this once-in-a-five hundred years.
Three days later, Zhan Chen and the others arrived with Ouyang Hui on a seaside outside Yanmiao City, where a number of houses had already been built, and a high platform had been erected, with many slogans and colorful flags such as "welcome" and "celebration", which were obviously carefully prepared for this demon hunting competition.
The next thing to be held is the opening ceremony, this day is a clear sky, nearly 100,000 people gathered around the rostrum of the opening ceremony to join in the fun, and the 36 teams participating in the finals, a total of 3,600 people, are concentrated in the front of the rostrum, they are according to the various city-states, each demon hunting team, neatly standing in a row, it seems distinct.
At this time, Ouyang Hui and other city lords took the stage, and they took their seats on the VIP seats on the rostrum, which made the lively atmosphere of the venue reach the highest point, and dozens of Enlightened Ancestors gathered together at one time, this is a big event that should not be missed.
When everything was ready, Xia Haotian came to the front as the host, and he will temporarily serve as the host of the conference, and he said in a loud voice: "Visiting guests, please be quiet." The voice was like a flood bell Dalu fluttering in the sky above the venue, and it was heard dozens of miles away, so that everyone present had to sincerely admire the powerful power of the Enlightened Ancestor, and unconsciously closed their mouths, and for a while, the entire venue, hundreds of thousands of people, were silent.
Xia Haotian continued: "I announce that the final of the 153rd Demon Hunting Contest has officially begun!"
The audience immediately erupted in thunderous applause and boiling cheers, but this was like a gust of wind, and the whole venue immediately returned to silence.
"Next, I want to announce the rules of this final, as well as the rewards for winning!"
"First of all, the time of the competition is three months, and the venue is this entire Yanmiao Sea! Secondly, the participating teams can only earn points if they hunt the following six kinds of demon beasts: the first is to hunt bite fish, each head is worth 3 points, the second is the sword spine shark, each head is worth 10 points, the third is the sea turtle, each head is worth 50 points, the fourth type is the sea Jiao, each head is worth 100 points, the fifth is the three-headed sea snake, each head is worth 800 points, and the last is the deep sea furious dragon, each head is worth 3000 points!"
"And the scores of each participating demon hunting team this time, will be summarized according to the major city-states to which they belong, and then the ranking will be calculated, only the top five city-states with a total score in this competition can get tax reduction, and the sixth to twenty-sixth places must pay ten percent of the total tax to the top five city-states every year, and the last ten must pay thirty percent of the total tax per year to the top five city-states, until the next demon hunting conference opens!"
"In addition, we will also implement special rewards for the top three teams in this demon hunting competition, the first place, each team member will be rewarded with 10,000 top-grade immortal stones, a high-grade middle-grade Taoist weapon, the second place, each team member will be rewarded with 5,000 top-grade immortal stones, and the third-place person will be rewarded with 2,000 top-grade immortal stones. โ
The rewards for the first three places in the competition caused everyone to be amazed, but to get the first place, you need to rely on strength, and the top three places in the previous conferences were all obtained by the demon hunting team composed of the powerhouses of the Yuan Shen Realm, so Zhan Chen, Hua Wutie and other Xian Yuan Realm powerhouses just listened to the excitement.
I heard Xia Haotian say again: "The rules and rewards of the competition are announced here, by the way, I would like to remind you that the number of demon beasts in the coastal waters of our Yanmiao Sea is scarce, and it is recommended that you still go deep into some islands in the sea, establish a base there, and prepare for the competition." โ
"Of course, the game is still the old rules, no cheating, no killing of each other, and at the same time, our 36th League will also send a strong monitoring team to supervise your game. The teams below are ready to go!"
As soon as his words fell, a demon hunting team began to move in the direction of the sea.
General Hua Wutie quickly took action, gathered Zhan Chen and the other team members around him, and said, "We're going to set off too." โ
Fang Xingye asked, "Where are we going first?" โ
"I've already figured it out, let's go to Linhai Island first, it's a distance from here, but there are quite a few powerful monsters living near the island. โ
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
So, Hua Wutie led everyone on a journey, they first thought about the southwest direction, and walked for nearly two hours before they came to a coast.
Hua Wutie turned his head and said to everyone, "This is the closest place to Linhai Island, and we will fly straight from here." โ
Fang Xingye looked at the vast sea opposite, he couldn't see anything at all, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he asked again: "Is there really an island on the other side?"
Hua Wutie smiled: "You have to trust my judgment, you won't be wrong." As he spoke, he rose into the air, and the others followed Hua Wutie's footsteps, and under his leadership, flew in one direction.
While flying, Hua Wutie didn't forget to turn around and remind loudly: "Everyone follow closely, fly higher, even if this sea is shallow, there are many demon beasts infested, if you relax a little, you will be attacked by them." โ
As if to verify his words, Zhan Chen suddenly felt a crisis coming from directly below them, and subconsciously looked down, and suddenly a wave more than ten meters high splashed on the water surface directly below, and a giant fish with a length of more than fifty meters shot out from it, swooping towards himself in mid-air.
This giant fish, named Spear Dragon Fish, is a low-grade demon beast of the Immortal Rank, with a dark back and a pale white belly, just like a swordfish, and a steel cone like a spear at the tip of the head, which is nearly ten meters long, and its hardness is comparable to that of the lower grade Dao weapon.
"Zhan Chen, be careful!" Hua Wutie subconsciously reminded loudly.
But a fine light flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced instead, he actually stretched out his fist and went towards the sharp mouth of the spear dragon fish with all his strength, and the two collided together.
"Smack!" the long mouth of the spearfish broke off from it, let out a scream of pain, and fell heavily into the water, never to float again.
Although everyone was confident in Zhan Chen's strength, they were all deeply shocked when they saw that he dared to confront the spear dragon fish's sharp mouth with his bare hands, and he could break it.
After a long time, Hua Wutie laughed and said, "Hahaha, Brother Zhan, I didn't expect your body to be so powerful, I think your fists can be compared to our Dao weapons!"
Zhan Chen nodded confidently and said, "Brother Hua, leave this hunt to me, now I have a certain confidence to deal with the mid-grade demon beasts of the immortal rank!"
Hua Wutie glanced at him meaningfully, and sighed: "Yes, I watched you grow stronger step by step, and now I can't see through what kind of strength your strength has reached!"
Zhan Chen didn't say anything, only he knew the strength of the Great Perfection Realm of the King of Force, and now his combat power should be comparable to that of an ordinary Immortal Yuan Beginner Rank powerhouse, but the strength and tenacity of the physical body are more than a hundred times that of the Immortal Yuan Initial Rank Strong, and this gap will become bigger and bigger in the future.
Hua Wutie continued to remind the others in a loud voice: "Have you seen it? There are terrifying demon beasts lurking everywhere in the water, but our immortal sense is not enough to detect their existence, and they hide under the water, but they can find us and launch an attack, this is the terrifying nature of the Yanmiao Sea." โ
Zhan Chen tried to expand his immortal sense as hard as he could, but found that he could only detect the target with himself as the center and a radius of about five hundred meters, and he could only touch the surface of the sea water below, but he couldn't go deeper, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart: " Although I devoured Sun Ke's soul and greatly increased my soul power, the total amount has far exceeded that of the primary-level powerhouse of the Yuan Shen Realm, but I can't reach the same level as the powerhouse of the Yuan Shen Realm, I can extend the scope of immortal exploration to a place thousands of meters away, and the gap between the Yuan Shen Realm and the Immortal Yuan Realm is not in quantity, but in quality!"
Everyone listened to Hua Wutie's warning, and took out their Dao weapons one after another, vigilantly guarding their feet, sure enough, every once in a while, one or two demon beasts would jump out of the water and try to attack the members of the Flower Moon team in the sky. However, what awaits them is a head-on attack from the members of the Flower Moon Squad.
Fortunately, the powerful monsters are lurking in the deep sea, and those who live in the shallow sea are some weak monsters, and they will not be too difficult to deal with.
Hua Wutie's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Everyone work hard! We're coming, strive to spend the night on Linhai Island tonight!"
"Is there an island!" everyone's spirits couldn't help but lift, most of the day's flying and fighting, everyone was exhausted, and they wanted to find a place to stop, so don't spend no more tips, they also increased their flight speed, which can almost be described as sprinting forward.
After another quarter of an hour, Zhan Chen and the others finally saw the situation of Linhai Island, this island was about thirty kilometers long and more than ten kilometers wide, and it belonged to a veritable small island, and there seemed to be sporadic fires on the island, showing that it was inhabited.
They landed on the island, Hua Wutie turned his head, and said to everyone: "Let's rest on this island now, I have only been here once, there is a small town on the island called Linhai Town, there are only a thousand families, we don't have to go inland to disturb their lives, just make do near the sea." โ
Everyone nodded and said, "Just listen to the eldest brother." โ
"Well, this island is one of the more remote islands that I know, and the reason why I chose this place is to not cross paths with other teams, so that not only will there be less competition, but also I will not be threatened by other demon hunting teams. Although this competition is supervised by the monitoring team, I am not afraid of 10,000 in everything, but I am afraid of just in case. โ
"Yes, if the demon hunting team composed of the powerhouses of the Yuan God Realm attack us, we will not have the slightest power to fight back!" "The people of the Flower Moon Squad still have lingering fears, the experience of almost being wiped out in the Snow Moon Mountain Range, they are not willing to go through it a second time.
"Okay, let's get some rest, we'll start early tomorrow morning!"
