Chapter 5: The Forest of Death
Early the next morning, Xian Chen was woken up by the bustling crowd outside, got up and cleaned up, and after making sure that there was no problem, he opened the door and walked out.
The handyman in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in "Come Again" was already starting to sweep the ground, and seeing that Xianchen was not in a hurry, he couldn't help but remind him with a lazy look that had not yet woken up: "This guest officer, why haven't you gone yet, the spring hunt is about to start, I see that those people hurried to the forest of death after breakfast early in the morning." I think you're like this, you're also going to take part in the hunt, it's not a small mouthy, but you can really do it, and you're still grinding here! I heard that this year, the emperor issued an edict that anyone who signed up for the competition and signed a life and death certificate must be present to participate in the competition, and must not show up for any reason! โ
After speaking, the handyman shook his head, looking hopeless, and said in his heart: "Look at your appearance of fine skin and tender meat, it is estimated that you will have a good time." โ
Of course, Xianchen knew what he was thinking, and he didn't say anything, and still walked towards the Forest of Death as usual.
When he came to the forest of death, Xianchen knew what it meant to be crowded and overcrowded. Of course, not everyone is a contestant, as mentioned earlier, there are many ordinary people who come to see Her Royal Highness the Princess's Tianyan, in addition, there are many people shouting outside the woodland: "Come on, come on, buy and leave, buy Her Royal Highness the princess to take the lead, one to pay five; If you buy Lan Su Gongzi, you will win at a loss of eight......"
Xianchen thought it was interesting, so he also took out the silver to bet and bet on himself to win!
"Everyone be quiet, the Spring Hunting Tournament is about to begin, and now we invite all the contestants to enter the Forest of Death in an orderly manner. Each contestant is not allowed to bring any food that can satisfy hunger, cannot bring weapons other than daggers into the woodland, and can carry a small amount of wound medicine......"
A long list of rules came out of the mouths of the people above, and the people below were already impatient, and there was a commotion in the crowd, and some people directly shouted at the top of their voices to start, stop rambling again. The person who stated the rules of the game was about to be overwhelmed by the saliva of the crowd, so he had to quickly end the lengthy lines and announce the start of the game.
At this time, all the contestants have entered the forest of death, and at first everyone was arrogant and didn't take people in their eyes at all, until there were fewer and fewer people around, and everyone began to panic in their hearts, and they had to pretend to be calm for the sake of face.
Xianchen walked at the back of the crowd, carefully observing the surrounding situation, the fog in front of him had spread, and he could see people at first, but now he could only hear human voices, and gradually, he couldn't even see the figures.
Dust had to slow down even more.
The fog grew bigger and bigger, and the surroundings were so quiet that only his own footsteps could be heard, and Xianchen took out the dagger on his wrist and held it in his hand. The sound of "swoop~" came from the top of his head, and Xianchen looked up, only to see the tail of a turquoise snake wrapped around the trunk of the tree, and the snake's head was raised in the air, and it was constantly spitting out letters. The body of the snake is estimated to be more than three feet long, and the pointed feet of the snake are as thick as the wrists of adults.
Xianchen subconsciously took two steps back, hit the trunk behind him, and subconsciously touched it back with both hands, the touch was slippery and cold, Xianchen was shocked, turned around and looked at it, and was shocked!
This is not a tree trunk at all, but a giant python that is bigger than the one just now. Originally, it was nothing, but the touch of Xianchen directly woke up the sleeping python, and the yellow eyes comparable to two big lanterns stared straight at Xianchen!
At the moment when the giant python attacked, Xian Chen's body was short, and he suddenly made a neat roll, avoiding the giant python's attack.
Seeing that the blow missed, the python quickly swept its tail towards the giant python, who flew up, swapped the dagger from his left hand to his right hand, and a harrier turned over and landed firmly on the python's head. The python immediately shook its head wildly, as if trying to shake the dust off its body.
At the same time, the tail of the giant python hit a big tree in front of it, the trunk of the tree broke off at the waist, and Xian Chen patted his chest, fortunately he dodged in time just now, otherwise this time it hit him directly, which was enough for Xian Chen to go directly to the king of Yama.
The python on the opposite side saw that Slim Dust was actually standing on the head of his companion, and also began to attack Slim Dust.
The tail flew over the head of the giant python, and Xian Chen saw the power of the tail just now, how dare he delay at this time, and hurriedly flew down. Rolling on the ground a few times in a row, the giant python seemed to be enraged, and the two joined forces to besiege Slim Dust, vowing to end Slim Dust's life here!
Xian Chen's heart was anxious, as soon as she entered the forest, she was already so wolf-bรจi, she really didn't know what was waiting for her behind! But at this time, there was no time to care, the two giant pythons approached step by step, and Xian Chen watched the giant python open its bloody mouth towards her.
When the python's teeth were about to touch Slim Dust's body, Slim Dust suddenly became difficult, looked at the python's seven-inch position, and quickly inserted the dagger into it.
Blood spilled out, flowing down the hilt of the knife, and the vegetation touched by the blood quickly withered and turned black. The python wanted to struggle again, but Xianchen reacted quickly and pulled out another dagger from the side of his boot, and then made up for it, and the python fell to the ground completely.
Seeing that his companion had been killed by Slim Dust, the other python immediately showed its sharp teeth, as if it wanted to swallow Slim Dust in one gulp.
"Are you stupid, you just died in my hands like that, and you dare to come like this?!" With the experience just now, Xian Chen stood there directly this time, and when the python's head reached the length of an arm's length directly above the top of his head, he directly stabbed the dagger in the upper jaw, and the other hand was not idle, took out the last dagger, and reflexively stabbed it seven inches.
The python moved twice, and finally slowly fell to the ground.
Xianchen breathed a sigh of relief, she was really scared to death just now, her body was consumed quickly, and she was so tired that she wanted to lie on the ground and not move. After resting on the ground for a while, Xianchen took out a handkerchief from his arms, covered it on the handle of the dagger, and removed the four daggers from the python one by one, wiped them clean, and still tied them back to his two arms and feet.
Then slowly continue to walk, Xian Chen didn't dare to take it lightly now, you must know that when she first heard what Fang Jianming said, she didn't believe it, now it seems that there are more strange things waiting for you in this forest of death!
Take the two giant pythons just now, she has never seen such a big snake, it feels similar to a snake, but it is several times larger, she actually doesn't know which place to attack the most useful, but she knows how to hit the snake and hit seven inches, so she took the risk to try, but she didn't expect it to be really useful.
I don't know how long I walked, but there was the sound of a fight ahead. The road was unusually calm, not to mention the giant python, Xianchen didn't even see an ant, and now when he heard the sound of fighting, Xianchen quickly moved his body and chased in the direction of the sound.
At this time, it is better to walk with people, and I don't know what more terrible things I will encounter in this jungle alone. Although this spring hunt is her first step towards the supreme position, the premise is that she has the life to go out, otherwise everything will be in vain.
By the time Slim Dust arrived at the scene of the fight, the battle was over. There was a bloody smell in the air, and when he looked to the ground, he saw that it was a spider of great size, each leg thicker than an adult's arm, and the spider's death was terrible, and the unknown slurry was sticky everywhere, and several legs were divided into several sections, and they were scattered everywhere.
Xianchen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with difficulty: "Are there only a few of us left?" What about the others? โ
The four people who were sitting on the ground and were about to lose their strength turned their heads to look at Xian Chen at the same time, and one of them, who didn't look so wolf, said: "I don't know, everyone dispersed as they walked, what about you?" Are you the only one? โ
"Well, I just heard the sound of a fight."
"In my opinion, a few of us should go together, this ghost place is really evil, I don't know what can raise such a big spider, I was scared to death just now, if it wasn't for the help of a few of you, I thought I was going to die here today." A man who looked like five big and three rough opened his mouth scolding.
The other two were silent, and everyone acquiesced, so they walked together.
"I said that a few of us are living and dying together today, and we are suffering together, not to mention that we are going to go together next, in this case, let's make friends, so as not to call each other after feeding, and it is not convenient." The five big and three rough people in Shicai continued to speak, "I'll come first, my name is Ran Xingyi, I'm a rough man, I'm glad to meet you here today!" โ
"In the lower dust, Kyoto people." Xianchen opened his mouth and concealed his real name.
"Gao Qianyue." A woman in a pink shirt opened her mouth to receive it.
"Meander." The man in the moon-white robe then interfaced.
"I don't know what about this brother's name? Can you tell us? Ran Xingyi saw that there was another person present who did not sign up for himself, and asked.
"Xiaosheng Liu Yifei, this is polite." Liu Yifei, who was dressed as a scholar, made a gesture and replied unhurriedly.
Then several people didn't speak again, the atmosphere was really weird, and the grinning Ran Xingyi was also very wise not to say anything more, and the group of five walked forward silently.
Xianchen looked up at the sky, and there was no surprise that he couldn't see anything, the trees here were so dense and intertwined that he couldn't tell what time it was when he looked from the bottom up. At this moment, Gao Qianyue spoke: "I've been walking for most of the day, and I don't know what time it is, and there is no food to eat, I consumed a lot of body just now, why don't we rest here for a while, and by the way, look around for anything to eat, right?" โ
"Okay, let's take a rest first, I'll go around here with Brother Liuyu and Brother Yifei to find out if there's anything to eat, Brother Sheng Chen will stay here and be a companion to Miss Gao, right?" What do you think? โ
