The rest of the players were all lower hunters, and Bai Xiaoqiu was silent in them, like a drop of water in the sea.

This is also normal, after all, the number of high-ranking hunters is very rare, and there are only a dozen of them in the huge waterfront town, and although Sunset City is a famous city in the entire Eastern Continent, the number of high-ranking hunters stationed all year round is less than three digits. At the same time, because the hunter profession is relatively loose, most hunters are out all year round in order to hunt monsters, so there are only thirty or forty hunters in Sunset City at this time, but it is impossible for all these thirty or forty people to be dispatched, and most of them must be left to guard the rear, so there are only ** people who can really get their hands on it.

Therefore, in this hunting team, the high-ranking hunters dispatched from various towns are the main force in the crusade against the wind dragon, and the individual hunters who join the team in the Tongguò selection tournament play the role of auxiliary support.

However, the hunters who have the confidence to participate in the task of defeating the ancient dragon species (although this ancient dragon species is a bit watery) cannot be ordinary people, most of the contestants are the pinnacle of the lower rank, and there is only a thin line away from the upper position, so it will never be easy for Bai Xiaoqiu to stand out in such a competition.

"It's another fierce battle," Bai Xiaoqiu fell on the chuang and curled herself up in the quilt, "I'm really working hard." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――

Soon the date for the start of the first round arrived.

There are 200 players in the competition, and only nine will be selected to join the crusade team, so it is self-evident how difficult it is to qualify.

The tournament is played in a single-elimination format, and once you lose once, you will be directly disqualified. Therefore, according to the principle of fighting against each other, Bai Xiaoqiu will have to go through at least five rounds of consecutive victories to finally get the place.

However, the four top-ranking hunters were much luckier than Bai Xiaoqiu, they were seeded and did not have to participate in the first two rounds and started directly from the third round. This not only avoids the embarrassing situation of having to be eliminated early due to the premature meeting of several masters, but also gives them a longer preparation time to prepare for the next matches in perfect condition.

On this day, after Bai Xiaoqiu had breakfast, he took Zhao Zhitao, who was watching the excitement, to the competition venue early.

Located near the outskirts of the city at the south gate of the city, the venue was originally a semi-open-air colosseum for hunters' training, but it has been converted into a competition arena with many additional seating around it.

When Bai Xiaoqiu arrived, it was already crowded with people, and the audience and the contestants were clearly divided into two circles, chatting with the people next to them, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Bai Xiaoqiu first spent 20 peach coins to buy a spectator ticket, sent Zhao Zhitao to the audience, agreed on the place to meet at the end of the game, and then ran to the contestants to prepare for the game.

Just as Bai Xiaoqiu was going through the competition procedures, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice: "Ah!! Big Brother Bai, long time no see!! ”

When he looked back, he saw the northern country of Xia Le running towards him. It's just that he didn't run two steps before he "clanged" and hit the table where the contestants' information was placed, and there happened to be a glass of water on the table, that is, more than 100 signatures, and it was not difficult to make up

Bai Xiaoqiu looked at the chaotic scene in a cold sweat, and suddenly had the urge to pretend that he didn't know Beiguo Xia, this is not just as simple as passively carrying the blame, this thing is a chaotic aura that covers the whole audience! Fortunately, this aura is only effective for the dragon set, and the pot has been taken by himself, otherwise Bai Xiaoqiu would have to go around him.

When the chickens, flies, and dogs on that side finally subsided, Bai Xiaoqiu and Beiguo Xia finally talked.

"How did you recognize me?" Bai Xiaoqiu asked with great frustration, this was the second time he had been recognized.

Beiguo Xia smiled heartily and replied: "I thought it was you just when I saw the back, and after seeing the face clearly, I thought I recognized the wrong person." But then I took a closer look, and found that the weapon you were wearing was the same as before, and the appearance was also somewhat similar to your previous appearance, so I tried to come over to say hello, but I didn't expect it to be really you, is this a disguise technique? That's amazing! ”

The white shrimp ball smiled, and felt that it was necessary to upgrade the transformation package, and the similarity was not at all!

"How did you get here? Didn't they go to recuperate with Chu Pingxuan? He asked with some curiosity.

"I did come to recuperate in a small village with the captain a while ago, but then I heard the news of the tryouts by chance, and the captain asked me to come and sign up." Bei Guoxia explained, "Well, you also know, He Yong was originally the most optimistic one in the team, but after he failed to jump back, the captain and they put the focus of training on me, and this competition can be regarded as an assessment of me."

"Oh," Bai Xiaoqiu nodded and asked, "How is Li Huaqiang doing now?" Has it been completely cured? ”

Beiguo Xia smiled and said, "Hmm! It's almost good! Now that rehabilitation has begun, it shouldn't be long before you can start hunting again! ”

Bai Xiaoqiu suddenly admired Li Huaqiang a little, he lived by the side of Beiguo Xia with a serious injury, not only did he not hang up, but he actually recovered tenaciously should it be said that he deserved to be a high-ranking hunter? The vitality is actually tenacious to this kind of Cheng dù

Time passed quickly in the small talk between the two, and soon it was time to line up for a number.

Bai Xiaoqiu walked quickly to the front of the stage, took out a random paper ball from the sealed wooden box, opened it and saw that the red number fifty-seven was written on it.

It's neither good nor bad, it's the number of games close to the center, and he still has a good break.

Looking back at Beiguo Xia, he put his hand into the wooden box, and then suddenly his feet slipped, and paper balls were scattered all over the ground.

The staff in charge of the pre-match preparations are going crazy, especially the uncle who has just rearranged the player's information, his eyes are glowing green when he looks at Beiguo Xia, if he can't beat him, he would have come up and worked hard!

Beiguo Xia slipped so much, and the game time was extended back for more than ten minutes to put the paper ball back together, of course, it didn't take so long, mainly because the staff held a small meeting temporarily, discussing whether Beiguo Xia should be disqualified from the competition, and Beiguo Xia was lucky, everyone decided to let him go for the time being, but as long as he caused any more trouble, he would be expelled from the field immediately, and he would not be allowed to step into the gate of Sunset City for life.

The lottery continued, but this time, before Bei Guoxia came to the stage, the staff personally drew a paper ball and sent it to him.

"Stay away from our set!" The staff member threatened.

Fortunately, the preparations were all ready by now, otherwise Bai Xiaoqiu felt that before the game started, Beiguo Xia would have to bow and exhaust himself

"Let's see what your number is?" Bai Xiaoqiu leaned over and asked.

Beiguo Xia opened the paper ball, and a large number 1 was written on it with a blue pen
