Chapter 388, Joining
"Hunting, what is hunting?" Hearing them say so much, Li Xiao didn't know anything about this hunt.
Hearing Li Xiao's question, Jiang Huahai did not answer directly, but asked, "Do you know the Kraken?"
Li Xiao shook his head, this was the first time he had heard of this term.
Seeing that Li Xiao didn't know, Jiang Huahai had to give Li Xiao a detailed explanation from the beginning. The Kraken, like the Demon Spirit Race, belongs to the same intelligent race. It's just that they live in the sea, call themselves the sea tribes, and are the overlords of the entire sea. They look similar to demons, but their skin is not black, but blue like the sea, so it is difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye when they are in the sea. On the back of their arms and legs they have something like a fish fin, while they also have a duck's paw-like membrane between their fingers that links them all.
The number of krakens is almost endless, and they can be found everywhere throughout the ocean. And they divided the entire ocean into four parts, the three outer continents, the sea around each continent was occupied by two different kraken kingdoms, and the island of chaos in the middle was divided by four kingdoms at the same time, in the middle of the four kingdoms.
The ocean is vast, much larger than the four continents combined, and the products in it are also very rich. It's just that there are many materials that are unique to the land, but they are very lacking. In order to obtain the materials they needed, such as copper and iron, they would go ashore and raid on a large scale every ten years or so. And this kind of attack is what they call hunting.
During each hunt, the Krakens themselves do not make a big move, they are mainly responsible for directing the monsters of the sea to attack. Most of these monsters were overbred during this time, which seriously affected the ecological balance in the ocean. As the overlords of the sea, the Krakens need to control the number of these monsters. Therefore, after each hunt, a large number of corpses of low- and mid-level sea monsters will be left, and there are very few krakens.
However, because of this, each hunt brought a large number of monster beast materials that were special to the sea. In a way, this hunt is more like an alternative trade. Of course, it has also become a rare place to earn military merits.
After listening to their descriptions, Li Xiao also had a certain understanding of this hunt. But if you want to earn military merits, you must hunt the Kraken, and generally the Kraken is protected in a group of demon beasts, which is difficult to hunt. Either way, it's an opportunity. From Jiang Huahai's words, Li Xiao also heard that nine years have passed since the last hunt, and I am afraid that a new hunt will break out soon. This is a good thing for Li Xiao, at least he doesn't have to wait too long.
While chatting, Jiang Huahai suddenly asked Li Xiao, and he said: "Broken Soul didn't tell you, how did you know about the relationship between me and him? How do you know that I will deliberately let you, I have made this matter improvised." ”
Li Xiao looked at him and smiled, and said, "When you told me that you were going to settle his account on my head, there was no anger in your eyes, but a hint of schadenfreude. Then you told me to be careful, and the tone wasn't that kind of high-mindedness, so I guessed so. Then I tentatively thanked you, and your expression betrayed you in an instant. But just in case, I also made two preparations, and the result was that I was too worried. ”
Hearing Li Xiao say this, the broken soul next to him couldn't help laughing, and then patted Jiang Huahai next to him and said, "How about it, I said that you don't have the talent to act, now believe it, right?"
"That's why you won't tell me the secret between you?" Jiang Huahai asked.
Hearing him ask, Broken Soul did not speak, but looked at Li Xiao. Seeing this, Jiang Huahai also looked at Li Xiao. Li Xiao put away the smile on his face, pondered for a while, and then said: "The matter we are talking about is very important and involves a wide range of things, and once it is leaked, it will immediately attract death." He is forgivable not to tell you just to be on the safe side. However, judging from the fact that the relationship between the two of you has remained so good without being discovered, your secrecy work to the outside world is still okay. So I'm going to ask you a few questions first, and you're going to answer me truthfully, and if the answer satisfies me, I'll tell you about it. ”
Hearing Li Xiao say this, Jiang Huahai also knew the seriousness of the matter, put away the hip-hop on his face, and became serious. Then he said: "I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, for the sake of my brother, I may also stick a knife in both sides." It's just that if I kill someone else because of me, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life. So if you don't feel like it's appropriate to tell me, then please don't say it. ”
Li Xiao nodded, and just as he was about to ask, the broken soul next to him suddenly interrupted: "I don't think it's time yet, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better." But you can also do us a great favor and take half of the work for me. Saying that, the soul broke and told Jiang Huahai about the task that Li Xiao had assigned him. As a result, Jiang Huahai's expression was even more exaggerated than the broken soul at that time, and the whole person jumped up directly from his seat.
As if to prove that he had heard correctly, Jiang Huahai asked again, and after getting a positive answer, he still looked at the two people who were still sitting calmly at the table in disbelief. Li Xiao and the others didn't bother him, just drank quietly.
After a long time, Jiang Huahai finally reluctantly calmed himself down. He took a deep breath and then asked, "You want to control the entire front-line soldiers, are you trying to help anyone to seek a dynasty? But the contract on our body restricts us, and we can't resist the heavenly demons at all? I really don't understand, what are you trying to do? No wonder you are so mysterious, if this matter is discovered, we will all die." Forget it, I still don't ask, I'll try to help you, I don't guarantee what kind of thing I can do, after all, this is not my strong point. ”
When Li Xiao and the others heard this, they just smiled and didn't say anything more. The three of them then began to drink and chat, and did not disperse until late at night.
By the time the sun rose again, the central school yard was already crowded. The annual Elite Team Tournament will determine the top four spots today, and it will also come to an end today.
After a round of draws, the order of the four players came out immediately. Li Xiao's opponent is unsurprisingly the fifth place in the last session. She is also the only female centurion in the top ten.
As a female centurion, being able to train her subordinates to this level is very unusual. In addition to her strength, she is also an iceberg beauty. A black tight-fitting leather suit, plus a tight robe with white edges on a black background, reflects her bumpy figure vividly and exquisitely. With short shoulder-length hair, he looks very capable. Melon seed face, red phoenix eyes, high nose bridge, small lips, and delicate facial features do not give people a kind of weakness and charm, but a kind of calm and shrewdness. When Li Xiao saw each other for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and the women didn't let them shave their eyebrows.
Li Xiao's match was the second match in the morning, and the first match was Qiao Si vs. Zhong Yu. This game has been played for a long time, and Zhong Yu's team is steady and steady, not rushing forward at will, which makes it difficult for Qiaosi's team to start. However, after all, the Qiao Si team is the first team for two consecutive years, with a variety of tactics and a combination of virtual and real.
After using several serial deceptions in a row, the opponent gradually gets used to his tactics. Then the same virtual and real attack hit, and the other party thought that he would still change his moves, so he left room for it. As a result, in the last one, the opponent's attack suddenly turned into an all-out onslaught. For a while, Zhong Yu's team was in a hurry. Then a large number of attacks that seemed to be real and false came overwhelmingly, making the opponent unable to guard against it, and finally defeated. Joss won the first game.
After Qiao Si finished the competition, Li Xiao and Hongyan came to the stage immediately after a simple salute. Originally, Li Xiao wanted to be polite, but the other party said: "This competition is very important to me, I won't let you." Then he turned around and walked down directly, leaving Li Xiao with a beautiful back. Li Xiao smiled helplessly when he saw this, turned around and walked to his stand.
With the two off the field, the referee announced the start of the match. As soon as the words fell, Li Xiao's team did not immediately set up a battle formation, but quickly launched a round of intensive attacks, and the overwhelming spells rushed towards the other party. At this time, the other party had just set up the formation, and he had not had time to open the protective shield.
Now it was obviously too late to open the protective shield again, and everyone could only give up the formation attack and turn it into a free attack for everyone. Although this spell was blocked, it also wasted some of their time, and when they had just set up the protective shield, the demonic energy turbulence and the spell that had not dissipated due to the attacks of both sides in front of them suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
It turned out that when Li Xiao's team attacked, there were five small black fireballs mixed in the middle, but because they were too small and slow, they were not noticed.
At this time, seeing the sea of fire forming in front of them, the people of the Hongyan clan immediately knew that something was wrong. Without saying a word, he immediately summoned a large number of condensed ice balls, which were projected towards the sea of fire like hailstones.
As the pucks passed through the sea of fire, only some of them were ignited, and most of the others flew over. Such a dense ice ball immediately beat the sea of fire to a thousand holes, if these ice balls were allowed to continue, after a few breaths, this sea of magic fire and fire in Li Xiao's battle formation would be cracked for the first time.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and twenty palm prints of Xu Kuan rushed from behind the sea of fire, smashing all the ice balls on the road. After being hit by an ice hockey puck, the handprints gradually became unstable. The scattered demonic qi was quickly ignited by the sea of fire, causing the handprint to instantly turn into a flame hand and pounce on the opponent's protective shield.
