Chapter 6: The Hunt Begins
100,000 mountains at this time crowded with people, the voices of the people are boiling, the scene is very spectacular, today there are not only people from the Xingyao Empire, but also some dignitaries of the Tianfeng Dynasty, one side of the hero, this is the annual grand occasion of the Tianfeng Dynasty.
"Heavenly Wind Dynasty, the hunt begins, and Lord Pei announces the rules. A eunuch said sharply.
An old man with an elegant face walked out slowly, bowed to Long Xiang, and saw Long Xiang nodding.
Then he turned around and said loudly, "This time I am honored to be able to participate in and preside over this hunting competition, of course, I will enforce the law impartially, and those who violate the rules will be punished according to the rules of the competition, and now I will start to announce the hunting rules." ”
First, the purpose of hunting is to communicate and learn from the leaders of all parties, and no intentional injury to people's lives is allowed in the process.
Second, the hunt lasts for six hours, and no matter what happens in the process, we only judge the champion by the number and value of the final prey.
Third, one of the prizes for this champion is to enter the Royal Armory Pavilion and select a spirit soldier.
Wow, the champion prize of this hunt is a spirit soldier, which has caused a commotion among many young people on the field.
Spirit soldiers are weapons that increase people's combat effectiveness in battle, although they can only be used when they step into the Xuan Ling Realm, but for these people, it is a matter of time before they step into the Xuan Ling Realm, and the spirit soldiers are not compared to ordinary soldiers, these are all made of some precious materials, plus tempered by refiners, which can be said to be invaluable.
One of the prizes turned out to be a spirit soldier, and it was also in the royal family's armory pavilion, which made many people covetous.
Long Mo was also a little surprised, although there were many royal treasures, but the number of spirit soldiers was also limited, obviously his father's largesse in this hunt was also beyond Long Mo's expectations.
Long Mo turned his head to look at it, Su Yongming's blazing light, and the battle intent surged.
Long Mo suddenly understood a little, this hunt was different from the past, because there were people from the Xingyao Empire watching the ceremony.
Although he is his uncle, his father is the king of a country, and on behalf of this Tianfeng Dynasty, it is normal for him to want to show off his national prestige and the strength of the younger generation in front of foreign envoys.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say. Su Yongming looked at Long Xiang respectfully.
Long Xiang said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"The minister hopes that Your Majesty, allow me to see this hunt as well, just so that the minister can teach the young talents of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty. Su Yongming pleaded.
Although Su Yongming was respectful on the surface, the disdain in his eyes could be seen by anyone.
"Come on, bring me this thing that doesn't know the height of the sky. Su Mu was trembling by Su Yongming's anger, and directly asked the soldiers to take Su Yongming down.
"Slow"
"Slow"
These two voices came from Su Xi and Long Xiang respectively, and Su Xi said with some anger, "Brother, you still can't change your temper." ”
Long Xiang said with a flat face, "Su Mu, do you not believe in Su Yongming, or do you not trust the people of my Heavenly Wind Dynasty?"
Su Yurou, Su Hong, when they heard Long Xiang's words, their faces were also pale with fright, and they immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my brother has no intention, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
Su Mu was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor forgives me, I am afraid that Yongming will disturb your Yaxing, how can he be the opponent of these Tianfeng Emperors." ”
Long Tian, Long Wuming was furious, Su Yongming's words just now made some young people look at Su Yongming angrily, and they couldn't wait to fight him.
Su Yongming said unconvinced, "If you don't try, how do you know." ”
"Rebel" Su Mu raised his hand to teach Su Yongming a lesson, he really thought he was invincible.
"I'm right, let me see it, the prince of the Xingyao Empire. Long Xiang suddenly said lightly.
"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”
Su Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked him, Su Yongming was showing off his might like this on the territory of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty, it was simply looking for death.
There is no way for his youngest son Su Mu, who has been warlike since he was a child, unruly, not afraid of heaven and earth, even he is helpless as a father, but the strength of this son did not disappoint him, and he already stood out among his peers at a young age.
Long Tian and the others were also full of joy and very happy, because they would teach this kid who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth in a while, and let him know that in the Tianfeng Dynasty, it was the dragon you coiled for me, and the tiger you laid down for me.
Su Yongming looked at these young people with disdain, he wanted to let these so-called heroes of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty know how powerful he was Su Yongming this time.
"Alright, let's start the hunt. Long Xiang said calmly, not showing any displeasure because of what happened just now.
The people who were going to participate in the hunt this time got on their horses and rode away, and Long Tian and the others looked at Su Yongming coldly and left.
Su Yongming jumped directly on the back of Su Mu's flame lion, and rushed into the 100,000 mountains with a spear in his hand.
Long Mo looked at Su Yongming's figure that was walking away, and thought about it a little, thinking about whether he wanted to participate.
Long Mo guessed that none of the people of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty were Su Yongming's opponents, but he glanced at Long Wuming, who was low, he guessed that Long Wuming's cultivation was definitely not low, but he didn't know if it was Su Yongming's opponent, but Long Wuming had always been good at hiding himself, and he would never expose his strength until the critical moment.
Long Mo then looked at Long Xiang with a calm face, Long Mo was also a little hesitant in his heart, this is the face of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty.
Long Xiang glanced at it, lowered his head and said to Long Mo, who was silent, "Mo'er, you haven't participated in hunting either, so you should enter the trial." ”
"Ah, yes. Long Mo was thinking about whether to make a move, and what excuse to use to make a move, but he didn't expect Long Xiang to let him participate, since this is the case, then give it a try.
Long Zichen looked at Long Mo, who was about to go to see him, and said worriedly, "Ninth brother be careful, Long Wuming, and Su Yongming are not simple. ”
Long Zichen couldn't understand why his father let Long Mo, who was a lowly cultivator, participate, wasn't this harming the ninth brother? But Chrysostom had been opened, the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and there was no way, Long Zichen could only hope that Long Mo would return safely.
"Well, don't worry, third brother. Long Mo smiled slightly.
"Well, don't disappoint your father. Long Ziji encouraged.
"Hey, hey. The corners of Long Mo's mouth slightly hooked up a mysterious smile.
Because the hunting activity is to participate under the age of eighteen, and Long Ziji has already passed, but as a prince to attend this banquet of the Xingyao Empire, Su Yongming also angered Long Ziji just now, if the rules don't allow it, he can't help but teach Su Yongming a lesson.
Su Xi also said with a worried face, "Mo'er, be careful not to be reckless in everything." ”
Long Mo stays in Qingxiao Palace all the year round, the deep palace is simple, others don't know the bottom of Long Mo, but Su Xi is clear, but Long Xiang has already spoken, and he can't refute his words, he can only pray that Long Mo is safe and sound.
"Yes, Queen Mother. Long Mo assured solemnly.
"Alright, go ahead. Su Xi said with a smile.
Although Su Mu was angry at Su Yongming's behavior, he still believed that Su Yongming would be able to overwhelm the crowd, but seeing Long Xiang like this, he was very confident in Long Mo, he had just observed Long Mo's cultivation, but he really didn't see it through, which really made him a little strange, even if Long Mo had the talent of heaven, it was impossible to beat him, he thought that maybe Long Mo practiced some method to shield his breath, so he couldn't see through it.
But Su Mu still looked at Long Mo motivating and said, "Mo'er, uncle is optimistic about you." ”
"Thank you, uncle. Long Mo smiled.
"Father, Mo'er is gone. Long Mo shouted.
"Go ahead. Long Xiang said flatly
Long Mo carried the blood mark in his hand, rode a white horse, and rode to Xiao Pian's body, and said softly, "Wait for me to come back." ”
Xiao Lian said with a worried face, "Brother Long Mo, be careful. ”
"Well, wait until I get back. Long Mo pinched Xiao Pian's little face.
"Hmm," said Xiao Lian obediently.
Then Long Mo held a bloodstained sword in his hand, dressed in a white robe, and rushed directly into the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountain.
The 100,000 Mountains are composed of many mountain ranges, and there are many wild beasts on the periphery, but the depths of the 100,000 Mountains are different, the gloomy and bleak sunlight does not shine through the forests that cover the sky, the bones of demon beasts everywhere, and the corpses and clothes of human beings, as well as the rotting branches and leaves, which are particularly strange.
These are all chilling, and there are only those mysterious monsters and the endless miasma in the forest.
Long Mo frowned when he saw this, and then rode the white horse and walked forward alone, in fact, there was an unknown secret in Long Mo's heart.
Long Mo has lived in the royal family since he was a child, and he has no worries about food and clothing, but for some reason since he was a child, he was unable to cultivate to the first heaven of body refining, and finally claimed that he could not cultivate because the meridians were blocked.
In fact, it was not that Long Mo's meridians were blocked and he couldn't cultivate, but every time Long Mo cultivated, there was a powerful black rune power that hindered his progress, and every time he hit it, it was extremely painful, and he gritted his teeth and either fainted, or vomited blood and fell to the ground.
But Long Mo never gave up, countless dark nights of hard work, how many times he sweated like rain, every time he cultivated, he was bruised all over his body, gritted his teeth and never gave up easily, just for the only dignity left in his heart.
But the reality is destined to be cruel, and his efforts and persistence have also become a laughing stock in people's mouths.
Because his elder brother is a dragon among people, and he is a prince, his cultivation is hopeless, and Long Mo's enthusiasm has long been cooled by reality.
But he never decided to end this life in a mess, he wanted to let those who once looked down on him, who once sarcastically mocked him, look at it, the future is still undecided, whether it is a dragon or a snake is too early to say.
Since childhood, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed by countless people, and because of this, he has created a mind and perseverance that surpasses his peers.
After Long Mo was ten years old, because of his cultivation, he stayed in Qingxiao Palace all year round and rarely went out for a walk, and spent his childhood alone in the deep palace.
But fortunately, there are parents who love them and brothers who love them, so no one dares to bully them. In the end, he has his own beloved little pity, so Long Mo also lives carefree.
But perhaps the heavens sensed it, Long Mo was thirteen years old when he was cultivating at night in the back mountain of the palace, and was hit by a meteor, and when he woke up, he found that there was a black mark on his chest.
From that time on, Long Mo directly broke through the Refining Body One Heavy Heaven, and every once in a while he would have the same strange dream, although the black energy would still come out to make trouble, but the strength that hindered his cultivation gradually decreased.
Moreover, when he woke up, his cultivation speed was extremely fast, which made Long Mo both happy and worried, he was extremely happy to be able to cultivate Long Mo, but Long Mo was a little worried about the unknown situation.
Long Mo didn't tell anyone about this matter, including his parents, it wasn't that Long Mo didn't trust him, but that this matter was too strange and weird, and Long Mo himself didn't know what was going on, and he let his family worry about him all day long.
He had gone through the countless books in the royal library, and he had not found the slightest trace of the black marks on his body.
Long Mo finally thought about it, anyway, this is a good thing for him at the moment, and besides, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, so thinking about Long Mo will let go, and in the end, over time, this has become the biggest secret buried in Long Mo's heart.
In the eyes of the outside world, Long Mo gives people the impression of a gentle, low-key image.
Long Mo didn't want to make a move this time and expose his strength, so he was afraid that it would cause a lot of trouble, but he didn't know why his father asked him to participate, Long Mo guessed that his father might know that he could already cultivate.
Long Mo thought of this, his heart was also a little more relaxed, hiding from his father, he really felt uncomfortable, since he participated in this hunt, let those people who usually look down on him see what kind of waste he usually is, and by the way, he will give his father and queen mother a surprise.
Thinking of this, a hint of arrogant smile crossed the corner of Long Mo's mouth, the battle intent in his eyes burned, the blood in his body gradually boiled, and he was silent for too long, so let yourself indulge it this time.
