Three days later, race day.

After breakfast, Lily led the Minority Coalition to board the steam cart in front of the inn, where the equipment and bags had been carried by Mustafa, and Hunter and Gustav stood by the car to see off a few people.

The steam car was gone, and the old man Hunter still maintained the military salute of the second son's regiment.

The meeting place was in the amphitheater in the southern suburbs, and the 400 teams from all over the empire found their team's seats after entering the arena with the number tickets they received when they paid the registration fee a few days ago.

Three thousand, put into an arena that can accommodate 100,000 people, looks sparse.

After taking his seat, Jacques looked around, but he didn't notice Lucien's team, and it was better if he wasn't nearby, and out of sight was clear.

A deep voice sounded not far behind him: "Mentor!

It's so loud, you don't need a whistle to drive!

A row of strong men turned the aisle and descended the stairs, their seats in the front row of the Minority Alliance. In addition, there are a total of seven strong men who lead the team, each of whom is taller than Alisia, who is 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and strong body, and swollen muscles.

A wall of flesh is hidden in front of the minority alliance, and the sun is gone!

It was still the same deep voice, turned his head, showed a self-righteous smile to everyone, and said: "I said, brothers, I'm sorry, this stumbling seat is too aggrieved, let's stand for a while." Anyway, I'll wait a while, there's nothing to look at, just a kid is beeping blindly, just listen to it. ”

The other party was a student talking, Lily was inconvenient to answer, Jacques hurriedly said: "It's okay, just help us shade, thank you, you're from the Northern Regions?"

"It's not what's wrong, how can you find a few brothers with this standard of northern men elsewhere! There are so many girls in your team, and it's fate that we get into a group, and when there is a difficulty, a few brothers can help, and there is no other word. My name is Dimitry Lazaev, you can call me Dimi, from Igal, what about your team leader?" said Dimi.

Jacques turned to Lily, spread his palms, and said, "She's our team leader, and there are only five of us. My name is Jacques, Jacques Renaud and I'm from Port Mousse in Castile. ”

"Oh mom, Musai Port, I said I really want to thank you Moussey Port this time, who is here to invent the train! But it saves us the old nose trouble, the previous 20-day journey on horseback, the train arrived in three days, and we are not tired, but it saves us a lot of trouble. If you win the championship this time, you have to thank whoever is going to ......"

......

The host's voice came from the source stone loudspeaker, and the chattering Jimi also closed her mouth in amusement.

The host explained the arrangement of the competition system:

Every team of five teams will take an extended steam car to the designated starting point, each starting point is at least 20 miles apart, and the car arrives at the starting point, which means the start of the race.

Teams are free to plunge into the Misty Forest, hunt exotic beasts, and search for spirit plants.

Alien beast materials and spirit plants can go out of the forest at any time to five designated locations to exchange for points, and use points to exchange points for daily necessities, weapons, food and other supplies.

After four months, the rankings are based on the final points.

The rules allow teams to snatch loot in the forest, but a loot after leaving the forest is a violation, and causing the death of the opponent in the loot will result in disqualification.

In the event of danger or casualties, you can turn on one source stone help device for each team, and nearby patrols will come to support, but at the same time, the team will not be able to continue to participate.

After the explanation, the groups dispersed and left, looking for their own extended steam cars outside the arena.

Jacques and the others each had a huge equipment box, which stood out among the five teams. Although there is no restriction on the equipment and supplies that can be carried, everyone knows that in order to achieve better results, it is impossible to carry too much luggage, and even food and drinks must be carefully calculated.

During the four-month tournament, the deeper you go into the forest, the more material you will hunt, but the farther away from the supply points outside the forest, the greater the chance of supply interruptions and longer routes to deliver loot. Therefore, the changing situation requires the trainees to plan their own strategies and tactics.

The grinning Jimi asked Jacques: "Southern boy, why do you bring so many things? More than the young ladies and young masters of the imperial capital, you won't be like them, you have to bring more than a dozen sets of clothes, as well as hair wax cosmetics or something, right? Or do you have food in this box? and you plan to go straight to the deepest part of the old forest?"

Another team of students from the imperial capital glared at Jimi, but Jimi didn't care.

Jacques replied, "That's just some equipment, and we'll change it when we get to the starting point, and we won't have the box with us." ”

Dimi said again: "Hey, why has this cat been following you, since it was in the arena just now!"

"He's my pet, his name is Fat Orange, he's going to go to the Misty Forest with us, he's the sixth person on our team, haha"

"Oh mom, you're more young than the young master, take your pet to the game......"

Before getting on the car, Jacques finally spotted Lucien and his party, who boarded another extended steam car not far away, and looked at the serial number, their starting point was about a hundred kilometers away from their own.

It's good, stay away, or out of sight.

......

After more than three hours of driving, we finally arrived at the starting point designated by the group.

Once out of the car, Jacques understood why he called it "Misty Forest".

The Misty Forest is the natural boundary between the Gyeonggi region and the Northern Regions, and the Starlov Mountains separate the Northern Regions and the Gyeonggi Region, and the Misty Forest covers the entire mountain range.

Due to the high altitude of the Starlov Mountains, the summit is covered with snow all year round and is covered with clouds. Standing at the foot of the mountain, a large area of forest is hidden in the clouds, hence the name Misty Forest.

Except for a few relatively gentle passes, you basically enter the forest area and enter the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and even three different seasons exist at the same time.

The woodland near the foot of the mountain is an area where salted fish and teams accumulate points by looting, and the top of the mountain with perennial snow is generally rarely willing to take risks.

The five members of the Minority Alliance opened the heavy equipment box, and everyone else present was shocked.

Each crate is a well-made armor and weapon that can be seen at a glance, and although the armor is painted in camouflage, veterans can tell that they are all made of Mithril. When the armor was taken out of the equipment box, there was no sound of metal rubbing, and each joint was wrapped in nitrate alien animal skin.

The armor was made by Jacques, and together with the Mithril weapons that were carefully crafted for each person, most of Jacques' 600 guild points were spent here, and a small part was purchased with some emergency potions.

Dimi was also a little confused, originally thought it was a younger brother team from the south, change the equipment and take a look again, a proper big guy team!
