Chapter 7 Officially Begins
"The hunting tournament begins!"
Jin Shanheng's slightly impassioned speech made the young people with all the blood and square gangs hot-headed, and they were a little eager to try.
"Huh!" As the contestants rushed into the jungle first, nearly a hundred figures jumped into the jungle without hesitation and disappeared from everyone's sight.
A contest between survival and wisdom, battle and strength, began.
Outside the jungle, where the major families were encamped, a light curtain appeared in mid-air, and the light curtain showed part of the scene in the jungle.
This kind of spiritual magic is very common and is called light and shadow magic. Flying or crawling objects created by spiritual power can be used to spy on distant scenes.
However, the distance and time that this kind of spiritual power creation can maintain is limited, and the stronger the strength, the farther and longer it will be.
Even if the light curtain this time was made by the strong man of the Spirit Sect, it could only reflect one-tenth of the jungle scene at most.
This is still an ideal situation, and in fact, there will be all kinds of spirit beasts attacking this spiritual power creation, causing the loss of vision.
However, the vision of the periphery is very clear, and several spiritual power flying eagles pass over the jungle, reflecting the scene in the forest.
One of the laws of the jungle, in the vast majority of cases, the deeper you go, the stronger the spirit beasts you encounter.
The first-order spirit beast is only worth one point, and the second-order spirit beast is only worth ten points, so I'm afraid that there won't be anyone staying on the periphery at all.
And so it was. On the outskirts of the vast jungle, there were almost no contestants, except for two.
Above the light curtain, I saw two young people who were not very tall walking slowly.
One tiptoeing, the other strolling.
Everyone wondered: "Which young man is still walking here, it seems that he doesn't want to play well." ”
Jin Shan manipulated the spiritual power flying eagle and narrowed his vision a little closer, so that everyone could see clearly which delicate young master those two young men were.
Brown clothes and black lines, Xiao family.
For a while, many ridiculed eyes were cast on the station where the Xiao family was located.
"Who did I say, it turned out to be the nouveau riche Xiao family, who dared to participate in the hunting competition so weakly, it was shameless. ”
Hearing the criticism nearby, everyone in the Xiao family also had a slightly gloomy face, and muttered: "I'll just say that this Young Master Yu is unreliable, I can't do it myself and I have to bring an oil bottle, now it's okay, we have become the laughing stock of the whole city." ”
Seeing this, the head of the family, Xiao Ying, also frowned slightly, he didn't know what Yu Zhang's calculations were, and Yu Zhang's strength was not even clear to him as a spirit sect.
It stands to reason that the perception of the strong man of the Spirit Sect can know the bottom of it at a glance for those whose strength is lower than his.
And this Yu Zhang, as if there is a layer of fog surrounding the whole body, makes people unable to glimpse the truth.
Xiao Ying thought: This is only a child who is less than twenty years old, it is impossible to have more strength than me... Then it should be some kind of secret art or spiritual weapon to hide the breath.
With such an idea, the head of the Xiao family did not question it too much, but secretly pulled a string in his heart, praying that Yu Zhang must be strong and protect his fourth son, so that nothing would happen to him.
In the jungle, Yu Zhang and the fourth son were together.
Yu Chang seemed to be aware of the spiritual power flying eagle in the sky, he glanced at the sky, and immediately dragged the fourth prince towards the thicker and hidden bushes.
As a result, the light curtain lost their field of vision, and everyone turned their attention to the other light curtains.
On a curtain of light, a group of red-clothed youths were quickly walking towards the interior of the jungle. Their momentum was huge, and wherever they went, if there were spirit beasts, they would be killed by everyone in one swift instant.
Among them, there are even many third-order spirit beasts, and there are countless first-order and second-order spirit beasts.
As a result, on the light curtain of scoring, I saw a high-ranking name, firmly rooted in the first position.
Gao Yan, one hundred and ninety points!
"Look at that, that's the contestant of the Gao family. They actually used group tactics, and everyone worked together to add points to Gao Yan. One pointed to the light curtain and analyzed.
"It's only been half an hour since the start of the hunting competition, and they actually have one hundred and ninety points?! It is worthy of the Gao family, which is the head of the three major families in Gaochuan City!" someone else exclaimed.
However, among the many praises, there is also a slight disdain, thinking that their actions are inappropriate and simply cheating.
"This hunting tournament is originally a warm-up for the spirit fighting competition in the near future, using the form of the competition to inspire the younger generation, train them, and temper them, so that they can defeat people from other cities in the spirit fighting competition and win glory for Gaochuan City. And the Gao family did this, which completely went against the original intention. ”
"I'm afraid that the Gao family is afraid of leaking too many hole cards, which will not be conducive to participating in the Spirit Fighting Tournament in the future. What a scheming!"
"Aren't they sacrificing the opportunity for the other juniors in the family to come out?
At the same time, the second place on the scoring light curtain is also in hot pursuit.
Wen Ru, one hundred and fifty points.
Everyone looked for the figure of the junior of the Wen family in the spiritual power light curtain.
They also used group tactics, led by a beautiful woman in blue, with more than a dozen followers, speeding through the jungle.
“......”
"Are these three families so cunning?" everyone shook their heads, as if they were very scornful of these so-called famous families.
"No, it's not like that, look there! and here!" someone pointed to several light curtains.
Through the scene on the light curtain, everyone found that the younger generation of the Xiao family did not gather in groups, but dispersed, resulting in a relatively slow marching speed.
They work in pairs at most, taking care of each other and conducting trials in the jungle.
And their names, although they are all on the list, their scores are not very good-looking, and the highest of them is only seventy points - Xiao Ling, ranked tenth.
"Although the strength of the Xiao family is the weakest among the three major families, their competitive spirit is very commendable!"
"Hmm..."
When the Xiao family heard these words, they also smiled bitterly, but they didn't expect that they who have always been called nouveau riche will now have a day when they are praised by the masses.
In the case that the City Lord's Mansion did not participate, the Xiao family, which should have been ranked third in strength, only ended up in the tenth place.
The reason for this is that many families use group tactics.
I have to say that this tactic of sacrificing the group to protect one person is quite easy to use, and it is very purposeful, that is, to get a high score and get a reward.
Yu Zhang and the two of them were still walking slowly in the dense forest, he held the token in his hand, and the spirit magic was transmitted into it, and the current point ranking was slowly displayed on it.
First, Gao Yan, two hundred and thirty points.
Second, Wen Ru, two hundred points.
He directly pulled his gaze to the end, and sure enough, he saw the names of himself and the fourth son.
Yu Zhang, zero points.
Xiao Hao, zero points.
"Oops, the two of us are tied for the last place!" Xiao Ju, the fourth prince, poked his head and looked at it, smiled stupidly, and said.
"Don't panic, we're just getting started. Some are ways to turn the tables. Yu Zhang gently tapped his stupid head and said confidently.
Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, it was already night.
The second law of the jungle is that night is a high-risk time period.
Night falls, and the light is faint.
The scene in the light curtain is already a little unclear. Only the scattered fires told everyone that the contestants had set up camp in the forest.
Everyone has prepared in advance for the hunting competition, and they have also been trained to survive in the wild.
For example, the Wen family has set traps around with water-based spiritual arts, and ordinary spirit beasts can't break in at all.
But just in case, they also take turns to keep vigil with their companions, and if there is an emergency, wake up the others immediately.
If this is an ordinary jungle, of course there is no problem with their overnight method, but this is a jungle where spirit beasts gather, will things go so smoothly?
The jungle at night has no sound except for some common insect chirping.
There is silence, and the night seems to pass quietly in this silence.
Midnight had passed, and after a day of travel and hunting, most of the contestants had fallen asleep. Even those who were supposed to keep a good vigil were leaning against the trees and were drowsy.
And at this moment, when everyone was most relaxed and vigilant, a rustling sound came from the forest.
At first, the contestants thought it was an ordinary pest, but the more they listened, the more wrong it became. The sound of rustling was getting closer and louder, even to the point of waking up the sleeping man.
"What?!"
Many people with keen senses have been the first to wake up from their sleep, and they have awakened everyone to go and investigate together.
They had barely taken a few steps before they retreated in terror.
Following them back to the camp were a dense mass of countless fiery red giant ants.
