Chapter 35: The Contest Begins

When Ling Feng and Xiao Jin returned home again, Ling Feng ordered Xiao Jin to return to his body first, and then strengthen his soul in the spiritual sea. Because there are still two days before the big competition starts, Ling Feng is ready to accompany Yi'er in these two days. Therefore, Ling Feng let Xiao Jin return to the Spirit Sea first to avoid scaring Yi'er.

The pleasant time was short-lived, and soon two days passed through your fingers. Lei Yi'er knew that Dabi was dangerous, so she kept caring about Ling Feng, and even put forward the idea of wanting to participate with Ling Feng. Ling Feng decisively dispelled Yi'er's thoughts, and Ling Feng told her that he didn't want her to get into danger, and if she was involved, he would be worried about her safety all the time, and he wouldn't be able to let go of his hands and feet to do something. Lei Yi'er nodded very obediently and promised Ling Feng that she would not participate. Seeing Lei Yi'er nodding, Ling Feng relieved himself.

Today, the sky is clear, the wind is smooth, and the cultivators of various families have gathered in Jinluan City, which is particularly lively and peaceful. Everyone was talking and laughing among themselves, and they all walked towards Jinluan Square in the middle of Jinluan City. At this time, a lot of people had already gathered in Jinluan Square, and each family was standing in their own family area in an orderly manner. At this time, Ling Feng was enjoying the sunlight in the area of the Ling family.

By the time it was nearly noon, the crowd in the square had stopped pouring in, as if all the people had arrived. They are all waiting for the city lord of Jinluan City to come to the stage to preside over the big competition. After a while, I saw a person landing lightly on the stage, and bowed deeply to everyone in the audience and said, "I believe that everyone is looking forward to the performance of their juniors this time, so I won't be verbose here, I believe that everyone has explained the competition items and rules to their juniors before they came." We have a special supervisor in the Forest of Monsters in this game, and if there is help from family insiders, it will be regarded as cheating, and the relevant family's right to participate this time and next time will be cancelled. I also hope that everyone will abide by the rules and be amazed by the final results of the juniors of their respective families, the time limit of the first competition is five days, and after five days, the juniors of each family must arrive at the supervision point outside the Forest of Demon Beasts and hand over the obtained demon crystals to the relevant personnel for inspection to determine the final ranking. I declare that the first competition is now officially open. ”

As soon as the city lord's voice fell, he saw a large number of juniors rushing out of the crowd and galloping towards the defense line of the Demon Beast Forest with all their might. At this time, Ling Feng was not in a hurry at all, and when the others were almost gone, Ling Feng found a corner where no one was around, changed into his disguise, and embarked on the road to the Forest of Demon Beasts. Just after Ling Feng entered the crowd, a figure suddenly appeared in the place where Ling Feng had appeared before, and the mysterious man said to himself, "Ling Feng, do you think that no one will recognize you after you disguise, it seems that the task that my father gave me to hunt you this time will be easily completed, let me see how far you can behave." In a moment, the figure disappeared into the crowd.

That's right, the figure before was Huo Jianren's eldest brother Huo Jianwen, who took over the task of Huo Yazi this time, because he had already reached the foundation building period a few years ago, so the task of hunting Ling Feng this time was a breeze for him. However, Huo Yazi also explained that he took care of Huo Jianren, who had just recovered from participating in the competition, so Huo Jianwen couldn't pay attention to Ling Feng all the time. Therefore, Huo Jianwen followed Ling Feng to find out his hole cards before leaving, and as a result, Huo Jianren inadvertently bumped into Ling Feng's disguise process. made Huo Jianwen already have a bottom in his heart, so he was not in a hurry to kill Ling Feng first.

Ling Feng, who went to the Forest of Demon Beasts, didn't know that his disguise had been seen through, and danger was approaching him step by step. In the past few days, the inns on the way to the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest were full almost every day, and because of the large number of people, Ling Feng found a quiet place to rest outside each town.

After two days of traveling, everyone finally arrived at the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest, and began to form groups as family units, camping in the outermost outermost area. In order to hide people's eyes, Ling Feng set up his own simple residence in a coke oven. In order to avoid suspicion, Ling Feng often changed back into his previous outfit and arrived at the Ling family's residence to greet everyone.

At the beginning, when Ling Feng arrived at the station, after Ling Yudie saw Ling Feng, she stopped Ling Feng and said shyly, "Brother Feng, this time sister, I am a vulnerable group, I hope you can protect me." Ling Feng said boldly, "That's necessary, after all, we are a family." After saying that, Ling Feng walked away, but Ling Yudie lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

After showing his face once at the Ling family's station, he returned to his improvised place "Tree Branch" and changed into a disguise to observe the situation of each family, and after preparing to rest, he started this demon beast hunting journey. In fact, Ling Feng came to the Demon Beast Forest again this time, feeling like he was back in his own home.

An hour later, Ling Feng woke up from his cultivation state and began his daily life. Hunting low-level demon beasts everywhere, because the demon crystal will not come out after killing every demon beast, so this competition is still a little difficult. Ling Feng hunted demon beasts this time to obtain demon crystals not only for the sake of competition, but also for himself to be able to have suitable demon crystals for refining pills in the future. Therefore, Ling Feng's hunt this time was a selective hunt.

The demon crystal, where the essence of the demon beast is located, is often located in the head of the demon beast. Not every demon beast will produce demon crystals, and one of the three low-level demon beasts will have demon crystals. And almost every high-level demon beast will produce a demon crystal. Especially demon beasts above the fifth order. Because of the wide range of uses of demon crystals, many cultivators rely on hunting demon beasts to obtain demon crystals in exchange for cultivation resources. The better the quality, the higher the price. Demon crystals can be said to be the basic material for refining pills. In particular, the more high-grade elixirs are refined, the higher the quality of the demon crystals required. Because the demon crystal itself gathers all the essence of the demon beast, among which it is the purest attribute power of the demon beast. That's why it's loved by talismans. Therefore, the demon crystal prepared the necessary materials for the talisman master to prepare the drawing rune liquid. According to the attribute requirements of the rune drawn, prepare the demon crystal of the corresponding attribute. Therefore, the demon crystal can be regarded as a hard currency on the Ethereal Continent.

And like Ling Feng and them this time, because their strength is generally low, most of the ones they get are the demon crystals of the third-order demon beasts, if someone can obtain a few demon crystals of the fourth-order demon beasts, then the champion of the first round of the competition will be easy. And the current Ling Feng was still very difficult to deal with the best of the third-order demon beasts now, how could he be able to deal with the fourth-order demon beasts.

Therefore, Ling Feng continued to extend his claws towards the weaker demon beasts among those third-order demon beasts. Through the hunting in the past two days, everyone can be said to have a lot of money, and they have obtained many third-order demon crystals, and of course, many second-order demon crystals. Tomorrow noon is the deadline for the first competition. Ling Feng knew that he might not be ranked in terms of the number of demon crystals he had at the moment, so Ling Feng decided to take advantage of the night to prepare for an all-night get-long to obtain some more demon crystals. It's just that Ling Feng didn't know that Huo Jianwen, who had been following Ling Feng for a long time, was ready to attack him tonight, and a conspiracy against Ling Feng had begun.
