Ezo Island, Usugi Port.

This is the only base of the Fuso people on Ezo Island, the port is not large, and only a small number of personnel are stationed in normal times, and the main job is to monitor the embankment around the island.

This is not an ordinary seawall around the island, but a very large induction circle, if a monster approaches the seawall, it will immediately generate a sense.

Although the demon saints on the island were subdued by Hayashizaki Mingjin and Hakuyama Quanxian, and were forced to restrain the demons from escaping, there were always some monsters who yearned for freedom and wanted to escape from this hunting ground.

Once the monster is found to have fled, the Fuso people will not chase and kill it personally, but ask the demon saint and force the demon saint to chase and kill.

In addition to the defense, the embankment around the island is also guarded, if someone trespasses into Ezo Island, the embankment around the island senses it, and it will also order the demon saint to hunt and kill.

The only normal entrance and exit to the entire Ezo Island is Usugi Port, which used to have only a small number of people, but today it has gathered 3,000 people, and ten large ships are moored at the dock, transporting these 3,000 people from the Moon Country to Ezo Island.

Today is the 24th solar term Xiaohan, and every year Xiaohan is the opening day of the annual Winter Hunting Festival.

On the wharf square, 3,000 Fuso people who participated in the winter hunting festival were listening to the teachings of the Hayashizaki Ryu clan and the sword saint Hayashizaki Koichiro: "The emperor of the ancients, spring and summer seedlings, autumn and winter hunting, go out to the suburbs at four o'clock, to show that the world is ......."

This is about the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, the first great unified dynasty in Middle-earth, who hunted monsters all year round in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

But there are many monsters in the Xia Dynasty, and now there are few monsters, the territory of the Xia Dynasty is large, the territory of Fuso is small, and the island of Ezo is even smaller.

Like this kind of annual event, the great grandmasters are too lazy to come to the town, and the grandmasters are too lazy to come, they are all busy with retreat and cultivation, and every year the four major forces of the Moon Wheel Shrine, Hagurori, Black Shinbia, and Hayashisaki-ryu take turns to send a grandmaster to take charge, and this year it is the turn of Hayashi-ryu.

Three thousand people who participated in the hunt, first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate, they will enter different hunting areas, and the demon saint has already cooperated, and all the monsters under the grandmaster will be distributed to the first, second, and third districts according to their strength.

95% of the monsters in the third area are demon soldiers, and 5% of the monsters are demon generals, this is to give the best of the human third-rate a chance to skip the challenge, or team rounding is also a kind of training.

95% of the monsters in the second district are demon generals, and 5% of the monsters are demon kings.

100% of the monsters in the first district are demon kings, there will be no demon saints, there is an essential difference between the grandmaster and the first-class, and it is basically impossible to be defeated by the best of the first-class.

Fuso's human nature is more extreme, as long as the monster does not violate the pre-set rules, and the demon is allowed to kill and eat people, the trial participants who participate in the winter hunt every year have a large casualty rate.

The trial of life and death, the big waves and sand, and the fire refining real gold, although many outstanding talents unfortunately died, but also honed generation after generation of strong men, making the strength of the country of the moon far superior to the five kingdoms of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Koichiro Hayashizaki was lecturing, suddenly paused, turned his head to look at the woods near the dock, his eyes were like electricity, and he frowned, and he didn't find anything abnormal.

But his sword heart is clear, and it is impossible to have an illusion under normal circumstances, since it is not an illusion, then there must be an abnormality.

[A certain demon saint has practiced some new ability to peep at me? Hum. 】

Only the Demon Saint, who is also a grandmaster-level, can make it impossible for him not to find the abnormality, after all, he is only a new Sword Saint last year, and he can't compare with a few old Demon Saints on the island.

But so what? The demon saints were all taken by Lin Qi Mingshen and Bai Shan Quanxian, no matter where they fled to, they couldn't escape from the palms of Lin Qi Mingshen and Bai Shan Quanxian, so they could only be obedient.

Koichiro Hayashizaki didn't bother to pay attention to the sneaky little actions of a certain demon saint, and continued to speak: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds......

In the woods, the invisible Zhang Long was secretly shocked in his heart, Koichiro Hayashizaki could vaguely sense him!

Before, in the sanctuary world, he escaped into the invisible, whether it was a level 8 blood crow or a level 7 cold crow, ashes, and bone crusher, none of them could sense him, and in this world, Hayashi Saki Koichiro, who had just been promoted to the Sword Saint a year ago, must have been level 7 instead of level 8, and he could sense him, even if it was only a vague and unconfirmed induction, but it was beyond Zhang Long's expectations.

The world is different, the laws are different, Chen Hai said that the grandmaster can observe the subtleties and see the microcosm that ordinary people can't see, and the grandmaster of this world has a special ability that the sanctuary world level 7 or 8 does not have.

Zhang Long couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, he escaped into the invisible after he was far away from the head of Togo that day, if he escaped into the invisible within the scope of the head of the Togo short-sighted, maybe there would be danger, the head of the Donggo is a veteran sword master, much stronger than Koichiro Hayashizaki.

He didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he quickly brushed deep into the island, and the voice of Koichiro Hayashizaki came from behind him: "...... Now, I announce that the winter hunting festival in the year of Jiazi has officially begun, disciples, warriors, go hunting, go fighting! ”

"Oh!"

Three thousand people shouted in unison, and their footsteps poured into the island.

Hunting area, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, the demon king is entrenched, some people walk together, and some people walk alone.

The companions heard the voices coming from afar, looked at each other, and both sneered.

It is true that the youkai of Ezo Island are invincible to the humans of the Moon Country, but this is only an overall defeat, and it can be said that there are mutual victories and defeats in terms of specific parts and individuals.

A crimson wild boar licked its blood-red tongue and sneered: "I haven't eaten people for a whole year, and I finally have the opportunity to eat people again, ah, the sword witch of the Moon Wheel Shrine I ate last year was fragrant and tender, and it was refreshing before eating, and the human woman was much cooler than the sow." ”

A black bear spirit smashed a boulder with a punch and said in a muffled voice: "I'm not interested in thin human women, I just want to fight with the strong human beings!" ”

An aging face suddenly appeared on the trunk of a large tree next to the boulder, and he glared at the black bear spirit: "The stone splashed me." ”

Before the black bear spirit could answer, another voice said, "What if I splash you?" "I saw the flying rubble suddenly roll, gather together, and turn into a boulder again.

Zhang Long was dumbfounded, it turned out to be a stone monster, but unfortunately it was just a stone and did not grow into a stone monkey.

He observed for a long time, put aside the youkai in his companionship, and stared at a lone youkai, a black snake, for him, the temptation of the water tribe and the snake clan monsters was much more than other monsters.

The black snake swam to a small lake, and suddenly the person stood up, turned into a beautiful woman in black, the clear lake water reflected her delicate face, she stroked her face, Gu Ying felt sorry for herself: "Today next year, can I still see this lake?" ”

"Of course not!" A barefoot man stepped out of the woods, his eyes were like knives, full of hatred, "Hei Suzhen, you ate my only son last year, and you should have the consciousness of death this year!" ”
