Chapter 42: Departure
Yao Qiao'er's body is extremely special, and she is worried that if she directly participates in the big hunt, she will be discovered by Qi Tian immediately, Liu Tao asked her to wait in the canyon for the time being, and then come to pick her up after the big hunt really starts.

Returning to the ground with Yan Zixuan, the sky had already brightened, and the warriors on the streets were clustered, converging in an endless stream to the south of the city.
The great hunt is divided into two parts, divided into military hunting and civilian hunting, the military hunting is carried out by the army, the elite team of the city lord's mansion and the exploration team to the north of Yujiang City, and the civil hunting is coordinated by an army of 10,000 people, with civilian warriors to attack the south of Yujiang City.
The military hunting was one day earlier than the civilian hunting, and at this time it had already entered the northern branch of the Lingnan Mosen, and Liu Tao and others participated in the civil hunting team.
Coming to the south of the city, a high platform has been erected outside the city, the civilian warriors do not have the strong discipline of the army, standing scattered around the high platform according to their respective teams, the strength of these teams is uneven, and the number of people is also very different, some are only six people, all of them have the strength of the late stage of Xiaolin, and some are more than ten or twenty people, from the Swallowing Moon level to the Xiaolin level.
Liu Tao and the rat and the others converged, wearing Tai Sui masks on their faces, and the rats gestured to send the two stand-ins away, and he introduced them to Ouyang Zhi and Fei Hu, who had not yet met.
"This trip is mainly based on Taozi." The mouse didn't have many words, and after a brief introduction, he went directly to the topic, "Ouyang Zhi is the mid-stage strength of Xiaolin, and Fei Hu is the peak strength of Xiaolin. ”
"You invited me to protect you?" Fei Hu was cold, standing in the middle of the six, but it seemed to be far away.
With his realm, he could see at a glance that Liu Tao was only in the early stage of swallowing the moon, and Yan Zixuan did not have a trace of yuan power fluctuations, and even the rat cultivation was very simple, only reaching the middle stage of swallowing the moon.
"Protection?" Liu Tao shook his arm casually, "Do you need it?" ”
It was just a simple movement, but Fei Hu suddenly retreated ten meters, his hand was very pale, and he only grasped the handle of the short knife at his waist for a moment.
Liu Tao's action frightened him, without the slightest fluctuation of Yuan Force, but it made him feel like he was being targeted by a powerful beast.
"Haha, I'm not lying," these days Chen Xiao retreated, and successfully advanced to the late stage of Xiaolin, he fought against Liu Tao, and admired Liu Tao's skills very much, "I said earlier, don't mess with Brother Taozi, when he didn't have Yuan Li, he beat me to half death with one move." ”
"Skylapse?" Ouyang Zhi was the eldest of the six, he was nearly sixty years old, his hair was a little gray, and he looked Liu Tao up and down with a pair of wise eyes, "Pure martial arts?" If that's the case, there must be rules to fit into. ”
Of course, Liu Tao would not explain the sky collapse style, and Ouyang Zhi only said curiously, knowing that this was the most secret thing of the individual, he naturally would not ask more.
Half a move frightened Fei Hu, Liu Tao had no intention of standing up, beckoned everyone to sit down and get acquainted with each other, and not long after, the horns of the roaring mountain on the high platform were destroyed by Yuan Li, and everyone naturally stood up and looked at the high platform.
"That's the city lord Lord Botu, such a strong force, the Yuan Force has no fluctuations at all, as if it is integrated with the entire Yujiang City."
"Don't stare at him, someone once looked at him a few more times, and his mind was taken away, and he didn't enter the country for several years."
Civilian warriors have little discipline, and even though the horns of the roaring mountain have been blown, many people still whisper.
"Fellow warriors, I am Botu, you are the elite of Yujiang City, the backbone of Yujiang City, every time I hunt, I am very relieved to see more and more martial artists continue to advance."
Botu's voice is not loud, it has reached the ears of hundreds of thousands of people in the audience, and the voice is not majestic, but it has a kind of power to capture people's hearts.
This power is extremely peculiar, it seems to be nothing, there is no fluctuation of soul power, and there is no fluctuation of yuan power, just like the rules of heaven and earth, silent, invisibly invading people's hearts and minds, making people both convincing and terrifying, very similar to the majesty of a person in a high position who is not angry and self-majestic.
After a few more glances, Liu Tao avoided Botu's eyes, he felt wrong, but he couldn't feel anything wrong.
Just as he turned around, Liu Tao was a little surprised, Fei Hu bowed his head at the same time as him, and Ouyang Zhi didn't seem to have the intention of avoiding Botu's eyes.
This Ouyang Zhi, can his mind be strong enough not to be afraid of this look?
Botu didn't say much, and left with a brief explanation of the rules of the Great Hunt.
The rules of the big hunt are extremely simple, only two, within 500 miles, it is strictly forbidden for the folk hunting team to fight any private fight, once found, the two sides of the private fight will not be killed, as for 500 miles away, it will not matter.
At the same time, the City Lord's Mansion will send an army composed of all the mid-to-late stage soldiers of Xiaolin to participate in the civil hunting, this team will be transformed into a thousand ten-person teams scattered in the civil hunting range, any team encounters a crisis, you can make the arrow call for help, only need to support for five minutes, you can get rescue, and the price is half of all the harvest of this civil hunting team.
"It should also mean supervision, right?" After the city lord finished speaking, he left, and the secretary of the city distributed the captain's jade plaque to the captain of each team, which took some time, Liu Tao pulled Ouyang Zhi and asked.
Ouyang Zhi was a little surprised by Liu Tao's question, and lowered his voice after groaning slightly, "It's not a secret, after the big hunt, it's the big competition, and the elite of the big competition has the opportunity to enter the exploration team and the elite team." ”
In this regard, Liu Tao is not obsessed with it, Ouyang Zhi's answer is reasonable, but it is not comprehensive, at least Liu Tao does not believe it completely, like today's meeting, as Botu, he does not need to participate at all, but he came, and he also scanned the audience with such eyes.
If it's a big fight, he will say a few words, it's normal, it's just a big hunt, can you use it?
The jade plaque issued by the City Lord's Mansion is a refining artifact, similar to an identity certificate, which needs to be refined by the captain with blood, and the monitoring team can control the location of each team at any time, which is convenient for support and monitoring.
Lined up behind thousands of captains, Liu Tao squinted his eyes and looked around, before there were crowds of people, and the people hunted warriors were all over the south of the city, it was difficult to find the team of the Qi family, at this time the captains were standing in a row, and it was much more convenient to find them.
"Sure enough, it's Luo Si." Liu Tao sneered in his heart, he seized the three major warehouses of the Qi Mansion, there was no shortage of cultivation resources at all, entering the Lingnan Demon Forest and exploring the corpse tomb was just incidental, the real purpose was to destroy the foundation of the Qi family's force.
After Luo Si received the jade medal, he returned to his team, looking at this team, Liu Tao smiled, a full hundred Xiaolin martial artists, the strength of this team is also a spear in the entire folk hunting.
Of course, the big nobles and rich people in the city are not just the Qi family, there are more than a dozen teams of hundreds of Xiaolin warriors like this, and even Liu Tao found a team of nearly three hundred people, which family it belongs to, it is unknown.
Receive the jade medal and refine it with blood in front of the clerk.
"Team name?" The clerk raised his head, and a bone spur in his hand stuck a little of Liu Tao's blood on the crystal ball in front of him.
"Scavenging." Liu Tao casually gave a name, and then left the high platform.
"Interesting." Looking at Liu Tao's back, the tall martial artist behind the clerk squinted slightly, "The martial artists in the early stage of Swallowing the Moon are the captains, are they trying to pick up leaks, or are they hiding their strength?" ”
"It doesn't matter," the clerk beckoned, letting the next Folk Hunting Captain step forward, "grasp the depth of their entry into the Demon Forest, and everything will be understood." ”
According to the rules of the Great Hunt, any team can go to Lingnan Mosen after receiving the jade medal.
But the fact is that most of the teams are stopped in place, in this regard, Ouyang Zhi is very experienced, Lingnan Mosen is not a place to play in the mountains and rivers, it is too dangerous, and those who dare to enter in advance are generally family teams formed by big nobles and rich people.
These teams are strong and don't care about low-grade and medium-grade spiritual materials, their targets will only be in the depths of the Demon Forest, and their eyes will only fall on high-grade spiritual materials.
Therefore, they will crush all the way directly into the Demon Forest, and behind them, there will be a lot of spiritual materials that they can't look at.
After waiting for a while, it was almost noon, several teams with hundreds of warriors started to pull out, these teams were strong, there were war beasts to walk, after a few breaths, they rolled up like dragon dust, and behind them, a team with good strength followed closely.
Obviously, this is to pick up leaks, and at the same time it can also reduce a lot of unnecessary battles.
Seeing them go away, Liu Tao was not in a hurry at all, later, he had to pick up Yao Qiao'er, and when most of the team entered the Demon Forest to follow up, wouldn't it be more troublesome?
As for the Qi family's hunting team, they had already entered the Demon Forest in the first group, but so what, the goals of their trip were nothing more than a few, and it was not difficult to find them with a little attention along the way.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Botu sat quietly on the wide pure gold chair, and more than a dozen crystal balls in front of him flashed slightly, and every time they flickered, there was a trace of formless and inscrutable power on Botu's body that soaked into the crystal balls.
Inside the crystal sphere, a figure gradually became clear as Botu's power entered.
"Lord of the Castle." After all the teams received the jade medals, the clerk came to Botu with the huge crystal orb, "All teams have been filed. ”
"Take it, find out, and monitor these people." Botu didn't open his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen small crystal balls lined up and fell in front of the clerk, "Good materials must be sent to the elite team, and those that shouldn't be left should disappear as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, sir." The clerk didn't say much, raised his hand to pull it, and more than a dozen small crystal balls floated up and merged into the huge crystal ball, and then, the crystal balls lit up one by one, "My subordinates will arrange this." ”
