Chapter 19: The Hunt Begins

In the early morning, with a gentle breeze and the sun shining, it is a good day for hunting.

Xiao Chen walked out of the door in a gray robe, and there were already a lot of martial artists gathered outside who were talking endlessly, and the top ten in the outer courtyard who lived in other rooms were already ready to go, full of spirits and high morale.

Today is the day of Tianyunmen's semi-annual hunting in the mountains. Every time the Tianyun Gate hunted, only the top ten in the outer courtyard and those within the third level of the martial artist in the inner courtyard would participate.

This time of hunting, Xiao Chen had a faint feeling in his heart that he would meet an inevitable opponent, Xiao Feng.

At the beginning of the Xiao family, Xiao Chen abolished Xiao Dong with one kick, and Xiao Feng was Xiao Dong's brother. He once thought that Xiao Feng was just a disciple of the outer courtyard in Tianyunmen, but he didn't expect that he was a disciple of the martial arts realm of the inner courtyard, which made Xiao Chen feel a trace of pressure in his heart.

It has been half a year since he came to Tianyun Gate, and Xiao Chen knows very little about the inner court, but he has only heard from some other disciples in the outer court that the competition in the inner court is more cruel and fierce, and it is completely different from the competition method in the outer court.

What kind of strong characters will be forged in such an environment?

"I'm looking forward to it. The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth hooked, and his eyes were full of war.

It didn't take long for someone to come from the outer courtyard, and Xiao Chen saw that the person who came was actually the two supervising disciples who were responsible for supervising their assessment when they were recruiting.

"Senior Brother Yun Xiu, Senior Brother Ji Chang, are you in charge of supervising this hunting competition?"

Yun Xiu, who was slightly thin, smiled and said, "No, the two of us are just here to lead you to the back mountain, and we are only second-level martial arts cultivators, so this time we are still competitors." ”

"Ah, then please take care of the two senior brothers in the game. ”

"You're welcome. ”

As soon as they heard that Yun Xiu and Ji Chang were also going to participate in the hunting competition, many people in the top ten wanted to get close to the past, hoping to be taken care of in the competition.

In the hunting competition, the top ten in the outer courtyard went to participate in the competition, but it was actually just a passing scene. This is a rule of Tianyunmen, this is done in the hope that the top ten people in the outer courtyard can see the strength of the martial artist and be inspired to break through, this is just an opportunity for the top ten in the outer court, and the result of the game is not important.

The protagonist of the competition is ultimately a martial artist disciple in the inner courtyard.

Yun Xiu Ji often said hello to the top ten people in the outer courtyard, and when they saw Xiao Chen also standing in the top ten, the two of them looked obviously stunned. "You're also in the top ten of the outer courtyard?"

"Yes, two senior brothers. Xiao Chen said politely. These two people can also be regarded as the ones who led him to the entrance, so Xiao Chen is quite polite.

Hearing Xiao Chen's answer, Ji Chang, whose face was sharp, sneered, and said a little arrogantly: "I didn't expect you to progress quite quickly, you can squeeze into the top ten in the outer courtyard so quickly, it seems that you still have some qualifications." For the sake of you being the disciple I am responsible for recruiting in, I will give you a chance now, would you like to join the 'Tianlong Hall' in our inner courtyard right now and be an ordinary member of the group?"

Looking at Ji Chang's attitude, it seems that he opened his mouth to give this opportunity how graceful it was. When the other outer courtyard disciples around heard this, they immediately looked at Xiao Chen with envy, wishing that the person who was recruited was the same as themselves.

Could it be that Tianlongtang is very powerful?!

Xiao Chen thought slightly in his heart.

He didn't know anything about the inner courtyard now, and he didn't know what the 'Heavenly Dragon Hall' was, so he didn't dare to make a hasty decision. After hesitating for a moment, he refused: "I'm sorry Senior Brother Ji Chang, my cultivation is shallow now, and I don't know much about the inner courtyard, so I can't make a decision yet." ”

"Hmph, I don't know how to lift!" Ji Chang didn't expect that he would be rejected, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he stopped talking.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Yun Xiu next to him stood up to play a round game, looked at Xiao Chen with a hint of appreciation, and then shouted, "Who is living in room No. 1 in your outer courtyard now?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiao Chen again.

Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Xiao Chen felt quite uncomfortable, he didn't like to be watched by everyone, and the truth of shooting the first bird was regarded by Xiao Chen as the first taboo for survival.

On the premise that it is not necessary, Xiao Chen has always maintained a low-key principle.

Seeing everyone looking at Xiao Chen, Yun Xiu and Ji Chang were even more surprised, "You live in room No. 1?"

No. 1 symbolizes the identity of the first in the outer courtyard.

Yun Xiu and Ji Chang couldn't have imagined that this ordinary martial artist who had been recruited under their noses would actually become the first in the outer courtyard in just half a year, this progress is too drastic, right?!

Moreover, when Xiao Chen first came to see the big move, his cultivation was only the fifth level of martial apprentices, and now the people who can live in room No. 1 are all the peak of the ninth level of martial apprentices.

That is to say, Xiao Chen has been promoted to four levels in half a year!

Mumble......

Yun Xiu swallowed his saliva quietly, Rao is already a second-level martial artist realm, and he was also shocked by Xiao Chen's rocket-like cultivation speed.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiao Chen could only stand up, smiled and replied, "Yes, Senior Brother Yunxiu, I don't know what you have to say?"

After receiving the affirmation, Yun Xiu recovered from the shock, and his face immediately returned to normal and nodded: "Oh, no, it's nothing, it's just curious, I want to see who is the first after Qingfeng Ao leaves." Very good, I didn't expect you to really surprise me. ”

Yun Xiu patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder, and then led the way towards the back mountain, while Ji Chang glanced at Xiao Chen again and snorted coldly, and left first.

On the way to the back mountain, Yun Xiu briefly explained the rules of hunting.

The rules are very simple, hunting is just a name, there are many beasts in the back mountains, but the purpose of hunting is to find all kinds of precious herbs in the huge back mountains, and the more you collect, the better, so that after the hunt is over, half of it can be exchanged for dragon soul incense, and half can be given to Tianyunmen as a reward.

As for the quality of the Dragon Soul Incense, it depends on the quality of the herbs you collect.

The herbs are also divided into ten grades.

On the way, Yun Xiu slowed down intentionally or unintentionally and walked with Xiao Chen, and said, "I heard Qingfeng Ao talk about you. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Chen was slightly stunned.

"He said you are very good, very qualified, and the only person he can consider an opponent in the outer court. Yun Xiu smiled.

"Do you know Qingfeng Ao?" Xiao Chen was slightly surprised. Thinking of that chic figure, Xiao Chen also smiled slightly.

"He, like me, is working in Jialantang, and he mentioned you to me when he first entered Jialantang. Yun Xiu smiled brightly, it seems that he has a good relationship with Qingfeng Ao. At the end, something seemed to sound, and he patted his head and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, this time the hunting Qingfeng Ao is also there." ”

"Really?" Xiao Chen was overjoyed.

Aomine Ao had said that they might meet again in the back mountain, but he didn't expect that they would actually meet again. For Qingfeng Ao, Xiao Chen also regards him as an opponent, an opponent who surpasses him.

"How about it, are you interested in joining our Jialantang?" Yun Xiu finally began to solicit.

Xiao Chen was stunned, and then said, "Senior Brother Yunxiu, I said that I don't know about the inner courtyard yet, so it's too early to talk about this." ”

"Well, I hope that if you want to join a force after entering the inner courtyard in the future, you will consider our Jialantang first. Yun Xiu didn't mind either, and smiled.

"Of course!"

While they were talking, the back mountain arrived. As soon as he stood still, Xiao Chen immediately felt a murderous intent enveloping his body.

Looking up, an arrogant and cold figure in the crowd was looking at him with murderous intent in his eyes, and the vaguely familiar figure and murderous aura made Xiao Chen immediately think of a name.

Xiao Feng!
