Chapter 123: A half-human, half-beast boy
The rules of the hunt are very simple.
All those who passed the second round of assessment needed to enter the mountain range directly opposite the Heavenly Sect Academy to hunt demon beasts, and in the end, whoever obtained more beast pills would be ranked higher.
Zhou Qing's eyes flashed, and his face showed a thoughtful expression.
Hunting demon beasts, this kind of assessment, for many teenagers and girls who have never experienced life and death battles, it seems to be quite difficult.
But among them, there is a great deal of cattiness.
After all, in the second round, there were more than 300 people who passed the assessment, and after these people entered the dense mountains and forests, they were able to form alliances with each other.
This alliance with each other would undoubtedly allow them to hunt down a larger number of demon beasts.
Zhou Qing could imagine that in the first two rounds of assessment, there would undoubtedly be many people who were ranked high and wanted to form an alliance with them.
In this case, those who are weak, on the contrary, no one is willing to form an alliance, and whether they can hunt demon beasts in the end depends on two things.
This kind of rule, for those who are weak, undoubtedly seems unfair.
Of course, Zhou Qing didn't dwell on this matter, what he needed to think about most now was to hunt as many demon beasts as possible next.
Until this moment, Zhou Qing gradually understood.
Just now, after he won the first place in the second round of assessment, why did Yang Shengfei still have a confident smile on his face, it turned out that Yang Shengfei already knew that the third round of this year's freshman assessment had been added.
And the biggest variable is in the third round.
With his eyelids slightly raised, Zhou Qing looked at the endless mountains and forests opposite Tianzong Academy, and his eyes showed a little solemnity.
That mountain forest is called the Tianzong Mountain Range, and in the mountain range, there are all kinds of demon beasts with different strengths.
According to legend, in the depths of the Tianzong Mountain Range, there were even terrifying demon beasts whose strength was comparable to that of the powerhouses of the Linggang Realm.
The defense of such demon beasts is almost unbreakable, and ordinary people encounter it, and there is no possibility of survival at all.
The light flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Qing faintly felt that this third round of assessment would not be so simple.
"Now, you can rest for half an hour and regain your strength. Half an hour later, all those who passed the second round of assessment entered the Tianzong Mountain Range. ”
"In the Tianzong Mountain Range, demon beasts are rampant, and there are many terrifying demon beasts whose strength is comparable to that of the powerhouses of the Purple Mansion Realm, so the academy has set up a separate peripheral area for your safety. ”
"In the outer area, all the demon beasts, the strongest is only equivalent to the ninefold powerhouse of the Open Pulse Realm, I hope you can hunt as many demon beasts as possible while ensuring your own safety. ”
His eyes swept around, and Mo Xing's deep voice slowly sounded.
Everyone listened to Mo Xing's introduction, and their hearts were a little heavy.
Most of these teenagers and girls grew up under the protection of the elders of the family, and most of them did not have any real combat experience.
Now, when they heard that there were demon beasts equivalent to the ninefold powerhouses of the Open Pulse Realm in the outer area of the Tianzong Mountain Range, many people's eyes were a little evasive.
After all, among the more than 300 people who passed the second round of assessment, the highest realm was only Shen Rong, who had the eightfold strength of the Open Pulse Realm.
If any one of them were to face the demon beast whose strength was equivalent to that of the ninefold powerhouse of the Open Pulse Realm alone, everyone would have no chance of winning.
So, this half-hour break.
Many people were secretly thinking, and then, some figures were whispering, leaning closer to each other, forming a small group.
After all, this third round of assessment is not explained and cannot be allied with each other.
Among those small groups, Eucommia was surrounded by the largest number of people.
And beside Zhou Qing and Shen Rong, no one came over.
Obviously, everyone also knows the grievances between Zhou Qing and the Five Princes, and if they form an alliance with Zhou Qing at this time, it will mean opposing the Five Princes.
The gains and losses in this are still very clear to everyone.
Even if Zhou Qing has a good talent, he is just like an ant in front of the noble five princes.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Mo Xing came to the center of the square again and said in a deep voice: "Half an hour has arrived, and now you can enter the Tianzong Mountain Range." ”
"Remember, you only have one day to hunt monsters. ”
"At this time tomorrow, everyone must choose to return all, and then hand in the beast pill you obtained, if you don't return on time, then the results will be invalid. ”
A day to hunt demon beasts, this time is undoubtedly a little very short.
Therefore, when Mo Xing's words fell, one figure after another rushed out wildly and quickly rushed into the Tianzong Mountain Range.
"Zhou Qing, what should we do?"
Shen Rong looked at the figures that disappeared into the Tianzong Mountain Range one by one, frowned slightly, and asked.
Before, although Shen Rong had hunted the Wind Spirit Wolf in the Wind Thunder Mountain Range and with Zhou Qing's cooperation, the girl's weak temperament still didn't have much killing energy.
Obviously, at this moment, she took Zhou Qing as all her reliance.
Zhou Qing's eyes condensed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Rong'er, you have to become stronger next." Now, I'm still injured, and I can't use my strength too often. ”
"And after all, you are already a powerhouse of the eightfold Open Pulse Realm, as long as you are more careful, no demon beast will be able to hurt you. ”
Shen Rong looked at Zhou Qing's body, the somewhat hideous wounds, and the pretty face gradually showed a determined look.
Obviously, she also knew that Zhou Qing broke out with Yang Shengfei because of her.
If in the future, she can't hunt as many demon beasts as possible and find a way to let Zhou Qing get the first place in the freshman assessment, then Zhou Qing will be in danger.
"Let's go!" Zhou Qing's gaze swept over the Tianzong Mountain Range and spoke.
Soon, the two figures disappeared into the dense mountain forest.
On the square, Dong Ze and Liu Xian'er looked at the backs of the two of them, and their moods became very solemn.
At this time, they obviously couldn't help Zhou Qing and Shen Rong, and they could only pray secretly in their hearts that after tomorrow, Zhou Qing would be able to successfully hunt enough demon beasts and win the first place in this freshman assessment.
Not far away, Yang Tianzhao looked at Zhou Qing's distant back, and his face became a little difficult to look at.
Turning around slightly, his eyes fell on Yang Shengfei's body, Yang Tianzhao's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Old Five, you are ruthless enough." ”
"I always thought you were a fool who didn't know how to play tricks, but I didn't expect you to have such an arrangement. ”
"The assessment of the freshmen of Tianzong Academy has actually increased the third round, this is all your arrangement!"
"Hehe, each other, third brother, do you really think that I am a fool who is being played with by you?" Yang Shengfei smiled confidently at the corner of his lips and said lightly.
"Over the years, you have been aggressively recruiting talents, do you think I must not be prepared? After all, the ultimate goal of you and me is for that position!"
Speaking of this, Yang Shengfei's face showed a hint of yearning.
Being in the royal family, his goal is obviously not just to be a prince or a prince, and the throne is his ultimate goal.
"Good ......" Yang Tianzhao trembled with anger.
For the first time, he found out that he had always underestimated this half-brother.
However, Yang Tianzhao still has some confidence in Zhou Qing's first place in the freshman assessment.
After all, Zhou Qing had the strength to fight with the ninefold powerhouse of the Open Pulse Realm, and beside him, there was Shen Rong, the eightfold helper of the Open Pulse Realm.
With the two joining forces, they must be able to hunt many demon beasts in one day.
Yang Tianzhao glanced at Yang Shengfei, snorted coldly, and was about to turn around and leave, when he saw that an unusually tall young man slowly came to Yang Shengfei's side.
The boy was a little rickety, but despite this, he was two meters tall.
His entire body is semi-arched, and when viewed closely, it looks like a tiger about to hunt its prey.
Although the boy was covered in a huge robe, he could still see the thick hair on his skin.
"Your Highness. ”
The tall young man bent over Yang Shengfei and said respectfully.
Yang Shengfei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Just now, the kid who provoked me, did you see it? Remember, after you enter the Tianzong Mountain Range, you will slaughter him for me at all costs, I don't want to see him walk out of the Tianzong Mountain Range alive, you know?"
"Heavenly Tiger, understood!"
The young man nodded heavily, and then strode towards the Tianzong Mountain Range.
Yang Tianzhao stared at the young man's distant back, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said solemnly: "He is...... Land Tigers!"
His eyes fell on Yang Shengfei's body again, Yang Tianzhao's eyes widened, and he said in shock: "Old Five, when did you recruit this half-human, half-beast demon as your subordinate." ”
Yang Shengfei showed an unfathomable smile and shook his head, but he didn't answer, just smiled and said, "My good third brother, do you still think that kid can win the first place in this freshman assessment?"
Lu Tianhu, that is a terrifying demon with half human bloodline and half demon beast blood.
Many years ago, Yang Tianzhao had heard of this person and wanted to recruit him into his command, but he was politely rejected by Lu Tianhu.
Yang Tianzhao didn't expect that Lu Tianhu would take refuge in Yang Shengfei.
Looking at Lu Tianhu's distant back, Yang Tianzhao's mood became extremely heavy.
Zhou Qing's strength of the Sevenfold Open Pulse Realm was enough to defeat the powerhouse of the Nine Folds of the Open Pulse Realm, and he was indeed a very good genius.
However, Yang Tianzhao knew that Lu Tianhu, who was only sixteen years old now, was already a powerhouse of the Nine Folds of the Open Pulse Realm.
It is said that Lu Tianhu even killed the powerhouses of the Purple Mansion Realm.
Between the Open Pulse Realm and the Purple Mansion Realm, there is a chasm like a moat.
Judging from such a record, Zhou Qing is undoubtedly much inferior in front of Lu Tianhu.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Lu Tianhu has the blood of demon beasts, and he is born with an unparalleled affinity with demon beasts.
Entering the Tianzong Mountain Range, Lu Tianhu was even able to command demon beasts and launch attacks.
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Tianzhao became very worried about Zhou Qing's situation.
