Volume 2 Half a Life of Exile, in Exchange for Your Mercy Chapter 10 The Hunt Begins
The time of the morning passed in the blink of an eye, and Qin Ji and Du Daqi went to the alchemist department as before.
"Hey, you're really going to the hunting game?"
The two of them walked on the road, and Du Daqi, who was biting a green fruit in his mouth, glanced at Qin Ji next to him.
Qin Ji shrugged slightly.
Du Daqi shook his head and said: "I advise you not to go, the wild hunting competition is not so simple, and it is enough to choke below the middle stage of the hall." ”
Qin Ji smiled: "Isn't there a signal stone, it's okay." ”
Du Daqi shook his head and said solemnly: "Qin Long, you have to know that in the barren forest, wild beasts and harsh environments are only secondary, and the biggest danger is people." ”
Qin Ji was slightly stunned.
Du Daqi took a bite of the fruit in his hand and said, "Anyway, I will definitely not suffer, you can take it more leisurely." ”
Qin Ji was thoughtful, and the two entered the gate of the alchemy department.
Time flies.
Three days later.
Outside the Academy Mountains, crowds of people gathered in piles, and there was a lot of noise.
The importance of the Wild Zone Hunting Tournament may not be as important as the year-end assessment, but it is still better than the popularity and popularity, because this competition has always been known as the freshman shuffle competition in the Flowing Fire Academy.
Therefore, this will be a gladiatorial competition for the top batch of students among the freshmen.
There are eight classes in the Flowing Fire Academy, and four or five hundred people are distributed in the vast barren forest, and the most prey captured can be won by class.
The two bigwigs of the second class of the human rank will naturally not be absent from such a grand event.
"This ......"
Qin Ji looked at the purple-robed young man who came wearing a hat with some astonishment, he noticed that more than half of the hair on this guy's head was missing, and in order to hide his ugliness, he simply put on a hat.
Jiang Jingqing kept his head down and kept silent, which was also in line with his arrogant and withdrawn temperament on weekdays, and naturally not many people noticed his changes.
In this regard, Qin Ji couldn't cry or laugh.
Compared with this, what surprised Qin Ji even more was that Du Daqi also came.
This guy who avoided the hunting competition in the wild area finally appeared.
It's just that Du Daqi, who is unusually optimistic on weekdays, doesn't look very good today, and stays in the corner silently, only squeezing out a reluctant smile when he raises his eyes and sees Qin Ji.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Ji asked.
Du Daqi pursed his lips slightly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, everyone is here, I'm idle in the academy, let's go together." ”
Qin Ji didn't continue to ask, something must have happened to Du Daqi, otherwise, with his temperament, he would never come to participate in this kind of fierce competition.
In the middle of the square stood ten instructors, and behind them, thirty young men and women, all dressed in college robes, stood casually.
The barren forest is five hundred miles long, in order to prevent accidents, and in order to rescue in time, the academy will send ten instructors and thirty Tian-level students to control the competition area throughout the whole process, once there is a problem to crush the signal stone, the rescue can ensure that it arrives in the shortest possible time.
A mentor led a class, divided into three Heavenly Rank students, and rode their horses to the barren forest, while the rest of the people sat at the finish line, evaluating the results, and the eight mighty teams entered the boundary of the barren forest in batches after two hours of running.
"Alright, there's a barren forest ahead. ”
Leading the second class of the human rank was a blackbearded man mentor, and in front of him was already a vast forest spreading out on the front line.
"I wish you all the best of luck, crush the signal stone in case of danger, and help will come at any time. ”
Mentor Blackbeard waved his hand.
One by one, the people of the second class of the human rank walked into the forest, and soon disappeared into the depths of the forest, and after Blackbeard confirmed that no one had made a mistake, he also entered the forest with the three Heavenly Rank Academies.
At the end of the barren forest is a canyon where there are already many people.
Behind a long table sat five people, and in the middle was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face.
"Vice Dean, this is the first-class seedling of this year's human rank, you can see it. ”
One person handed over a piece of paper, on which were written twenty names, each class had them, from the name to the family to the specific strength, it was very detailed.
"Good. ”
The vice president took the paper and glanced at it.
"Yes, the quality of this year's enrollment is quite high. ”
The vice dean nodded the names in the middle with the brush in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xu Fengxiong from Class 4, Mu Hong from Class 7, Zhu Tu from Class 2 and An Yule from Class 5, I heard about these people last year, and they are the key recruiters of the admissions office." ”
The vice dean emphatically nodded Zhu Tu's name and said, "Especially this little guy, a seed student who transferred us from the Wind Alien Academy, is very interesting. ”
A beautiful woman in red next to her smiled slightly, and said: "Speaking of this Zhu apprentice, I know a little, his class tutor Li Nan is my sister, I heard her say that this kid is hiding very deeply, and he really wants to make a move, and it is difficult to find an opponent in this class of freshmen." ”
The white-haired old tutor on the other side snorted coldly and said, "It's this guy who fought vigorously in the square a few days ago, I haven't asked them to calculate the compensation for public property, ignoring discipline, there are no rules, and they should be severely punished!"
The vice dean smiled: "Okay, let's talk about those things after the hunting competition, let's see first, how many surprises this freshman can bring us." ”
The crowd was busy in an orderly manner, and pieces of light curtains gradually appeared in mid-air, reflecting the light points in the forest, which were all students holding signal stones.
Within one of the light curtains, a cluster of light points came together.
"What's next?"
"Let's be safe, let's go together?"
"That's not going to work, it's too much of a delay. ”
The people of the second class gathered in the glade and talked about it.
There are two people with the top strength in the class, Zhu Tu in the late stage of Dacheng and Jiang Jinggan who is pure kendo, and the remaining top-notch are Chu Xiaoxiao, Xu Mu, Gongsun Rong and others.
Of course, there are even lower, mid-entry Du Daqi and Qin Ji, who seems to be powerless.
"Xiaoxiao. ”
Zhu Tu walked up to Chu Xiaoxiao and said softly, "Come with us." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, pointed to the rest of the people, and said, "Then what should they do?"
Zhu Tu shook his head and said: "There are too many people, they must be separated, otherwise the target is too big to act, and the strength is uneven, and they will be tied in the hunt." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhu Tu, turned his head and looked at the people behind Zhu Tu, the bandages on Xu Mu's head had not been removed.
"Forget it, I'd better stay with the guys. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders and said lightly: "Anyway, the final hunting competition is calculated by the total number, I believe that Boss Zhu, you will definitely be able to hunt enough prey to increase the total number of our class." ”
Zhu Tu was silent for a while, and said softly: "That's okay, you be careful yourself, and come to me at any time if you have something." ”
Zhu Tu gestured behind him, Xu Mu and another thin and frivolous young man in the early stage of Dacheng greeted the others, and a group of more than a dozen of them left with a smile and quickly disappeared.
With the departure of the Zhu Tu group, the strength and number of people in the class suddenly dropped by half.
"This ......"
The rest looked at each other.
"So what do we do?"
The freckled woman wearing a bright topaz stone around her neck hurriedly said: "This barren forest is so big, it is not easy to pass through it in a week and deal with all kinds of dangers, once everyone is separated, it will be difficult to complete the hunting competition." ”
A short young man then said: "But what Zhu Tu said before is right, there are too many of us, and we must divide into groups, otherwise the goal in this barren forest is too big, and it will cause more trouble." ”
One by one, the crowd expressed their opinions, and there was a lot of noise.
In the corner, Qin Ji leaned against the big tree with his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and said nothing, next to him, Du Daqi sat on the grass, looking at the grass in front of him in a daze, and farther away, Jiang Jingqing held the black sword in his arms and stood calmly.
"Alright!
During the gossip conversation, a young man in red in the class frowned and shouted, then looked at Chu Xiaoxiao who was standing on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Squad leader Chu, what do you think?"
Chu Xiaoxiao's green and jade fingers crossed together, and he muttered: "Our goal is to hunt as much prey as possible on the premise of ensuring that we pass the hunting competition, and everyone will get together, and the harvest will indeed be much less, so let's do it." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the young man in red and said, "Gongsun Rong, you lead people to form a team, and I will lead people to form a team and divide it into two teams, so that the number of people in each team is not too large, and there is no need to worry about emergencies." ”
Gongsun Rong nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"That's good. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the remaining twenty people and said, "If there is no objection, then start the detachment." ”
"Gone. ”
Qin Ji patted the absent-minded Du Daqi on the shoulder, and the two walked towards Gongsun Rong's team.
Stay away from that quirky little girl.
The crowd looked at each other, and then divided into lines.
"Wait!"
After dividing the team, the freckled woman behind Gongsun Rong suddenly shouted and said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "No, the disparity in strength is too great, and we are obviously much weaker." ”
Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at the teams on both sides.
On his side, there are himself and another thin young man, Zhang Wailuo, two Dacheng, and the rest are in the late stage of the hall, while on Gongsun Rong's side, his cultivation is slightly higher, and he is in the middle stage of Dacheng, but he is the only one who is Dacheng, and the rest are all in the hall.
The freckled woman unceremoniously pointed at the four people in the crowd and said, "He Huang and Wang Qingchuan are in the middle stage of their ascension, there are still two oil bottles left, one is enough to drink a pot in the middle of the entry, and the other can only alchemize, and it is useless for high-level alchemists to stay there, what should this team do?"
The eyes of the crowd paused on Qin Ji and Du Daqi.
"What's going on, I didn't even notice before, why did this waste medicine master and that Qin Long also come. ”
"This waste medicine master really doesn't know the height of the sky, even if this Qin Long comes, no matter how he says it, he is also a high-level alchemist, what is he doing with this mid-level alchemist?"
"Are you embarrassed?"
The crowd looked disgusted, and made no secret of their disgust.
Qin Ji lowered his eyes and was silent, and Du Daqi next to him looked a little cramped and uneasy, but it was not the usual appearance, but a little ......
Fear, fear?
"I ...... We're not going to bother you, really!"
Du Daqi hurriedly said.
The freckled woman raised her neck proudly and said in a cold voice, "Master of Waste Medicine, where did you get the confidence to say this?
Du Daqi's face flushed, he looked around at the classmates around him, they only had disgust, disgust and disdain on their faces, they all wanted to get good grades, and they didn't want to drag themselves down.
"Okay, don't say more. ”
The freckled woman waved her hand impatiently: "Either you crush the signal stone and retreat by yourself, or you can break it yourself, and you can count your skills through the forest." ”
Du Daqi was silent.
"Ye Hua is right, Du Daqi, don't delay everyone, don't drag us down, be interesting, and leave by yourself. ”
"This isn't the place you two should be, so let's be honest and crush the signal stone. ”
"Don't hurt anyone, get out. ”
Du Daqi looked at the indifferent faces and smiled desolately.
"I beg you to ......"
Du Daqi's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was hoarse: "I really need success this time, I just need to go through the forest, please, take me, I really won't trouble you." ”
Qin Ji frowned tightly.
The pleas for mercy of the weak only invite more ridicule, disdain, and no mercy.
Du Daqi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, bent his knees, and fell to his knees.
The crowd was silent for a few seconds.
Ye Hua unconsciously took two steps back, opened his eyes slightly, obviously didn't expect Du Daqi to come out like this suddenly.
Qin Ji reached out and grabbed Du Daqi's arm, who broke free from Qin Ji's palm.
Qin Ji frowned and looked down at Du Daqi.
Du Daqi's face was desolate and helpless, and he said in a low voice: "I really need this success, I ...... I really can't help it. ”
There were a lot fewer voices in the crowd, and many of the people who had previously gone along with the wind closed their mouths.
But there are still indifferent people in the world.
"It's useless to sell pitiful. ”
Ye Hua said indifferently: "Everyone is a classmate, don't make it too ugly." ”
"Noise. ”
Qin Ji's face turned cold.
Ye Hua was slightly stunned, and when she reacted that it was the dispensable guy who scolded her, she suddenly became a little annoyed: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to teach me a lesson?"
Qin Ji squinted at the freckled woman, who unconsciously took a step back, and the next moment she suddenly reacted, why was she afraid of such an alchemist who could only refine medicine?
"Don't be ashamed. ”
Qin Ji no longer paid attention to the woman, patted the dust on Du Daqi's body, word by word, and said: "Straighten your waist and be an upright man, why bother, the two of us can also break into this forest." ”
Du Daqi's fist was slowly clenched, clenched tighter and tighter, the nails of his palms were almost embedded in the flesh, and the blood stained his fingers red, he lowered his head and followed Qin Ji without saying a word.
The two broke away from the group and headed to one side.
"Hey!"
Chu Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help it, and shouted at Qin Ji: "You guys are really sick! Come back quickly, you two can't get out!"
The footsteps of the two paused.
"Squad Leader Chu!"
Ye Hua said angrily: "Since they are so backbone, let them go by themselves, what do they do?" I really don't believe it today, two things that can only refine medicine can get out of this barren forest alive!"
Chu Xiaoxiao glared at Ye Hua: "Okay! Just say a few words, everyone is a classmate." ”
Ye Hua's face was full of dissatisfaction, and he shouted: "I'm not wrong, you ask everyone, who is willing to take these two waste scum with them, it's a complete drag! Could it be that you want us to be ranked last in this hunting competition, and we have to lose the face of the second class?"
Most of the surrounding crowd were silent, but some echoed Ye Hua.
Ye Hua, who was supported, was much more confident, his eyes swept over Chu Xiaoxiao, looked at the two people not far away, and shouted: "Hurry up, you have no skin and no face, you are here, two big men, I am ashamed of you!"
Chu Xiaoxiao's face was gloomy: "Shut up!
Ye Hua, who was scolded in public, felt embarrassed, and screamed like a furry wild cat: "Chu Xiaoxiao! If you want to drag the whole class to death, just say it, don't think that if you are the squad leader, you can do everything according to your temperament! Now that Zhu Tu is not here, who else do you want to find to ...... for you?"
Chu Xiaoxiaoyu's hand was raised, and she slapped it down crisply.
Ye Hua's head turned to the side, and five finger prints quickly appeared on her fair little face, and her face was full of disbelief.
Chu Xiaoxiaoqiao's face was cold: "Mention Zhu Tu to me again, believe it or not, I will just let you get out of here?"
"You!"
Ye Hua, who was dizzy, screamed and pounced on Chu Xiaoxiao, who sneered and stepped forward, but fortunately, the people on both sides saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly grabbed the two of them so that the situation did not continue to develop.
"Good. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao broke free from the people next to her, her beautiful eyes scanned the surrounding crowd, and said: "I'll leave the words here today, my Chu Xiaoxiao's temper is really up today, I must take the two of them, what do you say?"
They all looked at each other and remained silent.
Ye Hua, who had red eyes, sneered on the side.
"Squad leader Chu. ”
Gongsun Rong, a young man in red, looked embarrassed: "You also know that the overall strength of our second-level class is not as good as other classes, and this hunting competition is already difficult, you ...... That's not right. ”
With the first opening, everyone else also echoed, persuading Chu Xiaoxiao to see the situation clearly, and turned back: "That's it, squad leader Chu, don't be rash." ”
"The two of them really can't help at all, what's the use of taking them?"
"Sister Wen, it's not such a way to be kind. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao bit her silver teeth and looked around at the crowd, her chest floating up and down, and she suppressed the depression in her heart.
"Well, in that case, then I'll go, you fight for the first place in your hunting race, I wish you success. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao turned her face faster than she turned a book, showed a bright smile, and turned around to leave.
Gongsun Rong and others were in a dilemma.
Ye Hua, who had a grudge, saw Chu Xiaoxiao stunned, and sneered: "If you don't have the strength, you have to pretend, I want to see how you take them here." ”
"Say less!"
Gongsun Rong's face changed, and he hurriedly whispered.
But it was still too late, Chu Xiaoxiao, who walked out, turned his back to everyone, raised his head and exhaled deeply.
"I really can't take this breath today. ”
Chu Xiaoxiao, who is gentle on the surface, seems to be an extreme opposite.
"Squad Leader Chu, don't be angry!"
Gongsun Rong and others hurriedly dissuaded.
"Oh, look at this, you're going to help her?"
Chu Xiaoxiao still had a light smile on her face.
Gongsun Rong frowned tightly and said, "Squad Leader Chu, if you really want to go your own way, we can only stop you." ”
The rest of the crowd looked at each other, and most of them were slowly moving closer to Gongsun Rong's side.
Chu Xiaoxiao's slender palm was pinched, and subtle green tendons appeared on Ruyu's skin, and she glanced coldly at Gongsun Rong and the rest of the crowd: "I hope you, and you, don't regret it." ”
Ye Hua, who had someone to support him, was much bolder, and looked at Chu Xiaoxiao, who was leaving again, and shouted: "Aren't you very good?" Don't go, come on, can you try again?"
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't look back, Gongsun Rong's face was gloomy, and just wanted to be angry, his complexion changed suddenly, a black light flashed in his pupils, his subconscious head turned to the side, and the black light passed by him, leaving a slight blood mark.
A black iron long sword suddenly rested on Ye Hua's neck, and the sharp sword qi pierced the dragon sparrow stone on her neck, Ye Hua's little face instantly turned white, and he looked at the purple-robed young man in front of him who appeared on the branch in front of him at some point, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body trembled.
The purple-robed young man raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes under the hat.
"Okay, let's try it. ”
