Chapter 19: Scores skyrocket
The head of the Gao family - Goldman Sachs.
The head of the Wen family - Wen Ning.
and the head of the Xiao family - Xiao Ying.
The three of them gathered at the place where the giant black tree had collapsed, and looked at the terrifying scene in front of them.
The pitch-black giant tree was still not completely dead after being cut in half, and it plunged a large number of roots into the white belly of the flame queen, absorbing the aura from it.
The queen ant resisted desperately, and a pair of large-mouthed tongs bit the body of the giant tree tightly, and a steady stream of fire poison was transported inside.
At the same time, the few remaining ant legions also used their weak strength to damage the giant tree and help the queen escape.
The two sides were at a stalemate, and this situation continued from Yu Zhang's departure to the arrival of the three Spirit Sect giants.
The three of them were shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect that the two sixth-order spirit beasts that had been united before would turn against each other and hurt each other at this moment.
In this situation, although the Flame Ant Queen's legion has suffered heavy losses, the pitch-black giant tree has less than half a life left, and it is still unclear who will kill the deer.
"Could it be that this broken half of the tree trunk was caused by the Flame Ant Legion?" Wen Ning said in a deep voice.
"It should have been Yan'er's attack that had an effect, weakening the giant tree's combat power, so that the flame ant queen had a chance. Goldman Sachs analyzed.
Only Xiao Ying didn't say a word, thinking about something silently.
"Hey, Xiao Ying, do you think there are other possibilities?" Gao Sachs saw that he was silent, as if he did not agree with his statement, and his tone was suddenly a little unkind.
In the face of the equally short-tempered Goldman Sachs, Xiao Ju didn't want to have a verbal conflict with him, even if he had something else in his heart, he reluctantly agreed: "No, the Scorching Flame Overlord Array used by Ling Gongzi is a secret treasure of the Gao family, and its power is naturally extraordinary." ”
Hearing this, Goldman Sachs's face softened a little.
"Someone's coming!" Wen Ning reminded.
The three of them quickly retreated, hiding in the jungle. After all, they are only the logistics of the competition, and unless the contestants are in danger to show up, they are generally equivalent to non-existent.
Even if the situation in front of you is shocking, you can't break the rules.
Sure enough, a moment later, the figures of Yu Zhang and Xiao Ju appeared here.
When the two of them appeared here, not only Xiao Ying was shocked, but Wen Ning and Goldman Sachs were all surprised.
Wen Ning asked, "Patriarch Xiao, I think that kid is a little familiar, but your gifted fourth son?"
"Exactly. "As the name suggests, Wenning people are not only kind, but also exquisite in handling interpersonal relationships. Xiao Ying didn't expect that after so long, he still remembered Xiao Hao's general appearance.
Who was standing next to him? Wen Ning asked again.
Xiao Ying was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he quickly explained: "That is the son of my cousin's family, there were some accidents in their family, and now this child is the only one left, so he is left to be raised by us." ”
Wen Ning didn't know much about the Xiao family's family affairs, so he didn't know whether what Xiao Ying said was true or false, and reluctantly stopped asking with a half-believing attitude.
But Goldman Sachs didn't think about it so much, he was angry at this time: "Why are these two boys here? Didn't you hear such a big movement? Still too scared to come? Now that the snipe and the clam are competing and the fisherman is profiting, such a great opportunity, will it be picked up by two unknown stinky boys?"
However, Xiao Ying, who should have been the happiest, didn't think that this was any kind of fisherman's profit.
Two sixth-order spirit beasts, one of them has already stepped into the seventh-order threshold, no matter how weak the two beasts are, the temporary counterattack of the evil beast is still extremely deterrent.
He is ready to rescue people as soon as something happens.
When Yu Zhang and the others arrived here again, they were also taken aback when they saw the scene in front of them.
They didn't expect that the two beasts, who could be used as a distress signal just by the sound of the shaking leaves, turned against each other and fought fiercely.
He looked at the roots that were inserted into the queen's abdomen, and tiny spiritual energy masses were surging down the roots towards the trunk of the tree.
"Is it possible..."
"Deal with them now!"
Yu Zhang ran forward, and Xiao Hao followed.
Yu Zhang didn't know what would happen if the pitch-black giant tree forcibly absorbed energy that didn't match his attributes.
There are only two results, there is a high probability of death, and there is a small probability of mutation and rebirth in Nirvana.
Often, low-level spirit beasts have to advance to the seventh order, and in addition to long-term precipitation, there is only one way, blood mutation.
And this pitch-black giant tree wants to block it at the last moment of life, either life or death.
As the essence energy of the flame ant queen continued to enter the giant tree's body, the pitch-black bark gradually took on a dark red color.
Slowly, if there was a fire flickering on the bark, a faint flame ignited, and the giant tree sizzled.
At the same time, Yu Zhang's attack had also arrived, and Yu Zhang, with the help of this time without fighting, recovered some spiritual power, and once again received the soul of Jiaotu in his hand, with sharp claws and solid ice, cutting everything, not to mention the fragile tiny roots.
At the same time, Xiao Ju took action against the Flame Ant Queen.
The violent air flow above his fists surged, and after a short period of accumulation, both fists came out together, with a strong impact, pushing the body of the flame queen far away.
At this time, the sparks on the giant tree burned more and more, and even after Yu Chang cut off those roots, it did not stop burning.
Ignition* is the perfect description of the pitch-black giant tree at this moment.
Stimulated by the fire poison from the inside out, all the remaining branches of the half-cut giant tree suddenly burst into flames, waving them around with star flames.
And those flame ant soldiers who were still on the giant tree, after touching these branches, were all dismantled and lifeless.
Seeing this, Yu Zhang and the others quickly retreated, leaving the attack range of the crazy giant tree.
Both of them could see that the giant tree, which was only half cut off, was just a return to the light, squandering the last trace of strength in their lives.
Gradually, the branches with sparks burned out in the air, turned into black powder, and floated down.
Under the moonlit night, it seemed that a black snow had fallen here, as if the final elegy was played, and the sixth-order peak spirit beast that had once been imposing and dominated a forest was completely annihilated in the flames.
When it burned out, Yu Chang stepped forward and scooped up a black crystal nucleus from the ashes, which still felt a little scorching, but fortunately it was high enough to survive in this flame.
Yu Zhang put away the spirit core and turned to look at the flame ant queen who was also dying.
There was not much white liquid left in the queen's abdomen, and many large and small holes were interspersed on its body, and dark red blood continued to flow out along with the white liquid.
"That liquid is a baby, don't let it run out, you go drink it!" Yu Zhang said suddenly.
"Ah, drink...?" Xiao Yu looked at Yu Zhang suspiciously, the scene of the spontaneous combustion of the giant tree was still vivid, and he didn't want to join the ranks of suicide.
Yu Zhang pretended to look at him solemnly, and repeated again: "Seriously, if you let it flow into the soil in vain, you will definitely regret it for several years, it is a good tonic." ”
When Xiao Ju heard this, he believed it, and he walked over to the fallen body of the queen ant.
The queen ant was still breathing faintly, and the thick white liquid looked a little disgusting...
This is equivalent to having him eat a pulp worm raw, which... It really made him very embarrassed.
But when he thought that Yu Zhang said that this was a good tonic and must be of great help to improve his strength, he became entangled.
He folded his hands, closed his eyes, and said, "Offended!" Then he slowly squatted down, leaned his head closer, smelled the fishy liquid, pinched his nose, and wanted to drink it.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew gently from behind, blocking Xiao Hao's advancing head.
Yu Zhang threw over a jade bottle and said with a smile: "I'm playing with you, let's use this to pick it up." ”
In fact, Yu Zhang is really not joking, this white liquid is the essence of the queen's body.
Just this belly of spiritual liquid, can hatch at least tens of thousands of flame ants, if you give people to drink, the replenished spiritual power is definitely delicious!
And this kind of thing, the fresher the better, and there is a freshly baked one in front of you, which can be said to be met but not sought.
Even if Yu Zhang couldn't talk about Xiao Hao and gave him a jade bottle dedicated to storing medicinal materials, as time went by, the effect would always drop a few points.
Moreover, Xiao Hao's body was recast with the essence of the spirit core of the flame ant, and the spiritual fluid of this queen ant was a perfect match for him.
The spiritual liquid was poured into the jade bottle, and it flowed for a while without showing any signs of being filled.
"This is actually a space container!" Xiao Ju exclaimed.
Space containers are not uncommon, but they are very expensive. Generally speaking, the larger the capacity of the spaceware, the higher the price.
Although the production method is simple, it requires a very high level of skill from the producer. It must be to reach the stage above the Spirit King to have the ability to distort space and create such a container.
Since most of it was absorbed by the giant tree and the earth, the spiritual liquid that Xiao Ju could collect was not too much.
When he was done, he pulled out another dagger, gave the Flame Queen the final blow, and retrieved its core.
Then he walked back to Yu Zhang's side, and the two of them put the two sixth-order spirit cores together.
"Are you ready?" Yu Zhang was a little eager to try.
"Alright!" Xiao Ju stared at the two solid spirit cores, and the surging in his heart was no less than anyone else's.
The token approached the first spirit core, and a strong light lit up, causing both of them to narrow their eyes slightly.
This appraisal took nearly half an hour.
After the appraisal was completed, I saw that on the standings, Xiao Ju, who had already been thrown out of the twentieth place, had a sudden rise in scores, and in only two breaths, he climbed all the way to the second place.
Second place, Xiao Juri, 120,000!
And Xiao Ju, who skyrocketed by 100,000 points, only reached the second place.
The two couldn't help but look towards the top position.
First place, Gao Yan, 130,000!
In this way, this Gao Yan actually searched for and hunted about ten fifth-order spirit beasts and more spirit beasts below the fifth order in one day.
That's a terrible speed. It seems that they have not only prepared the means to deal with the sixth-order spirit beasts, but have even thought of a backup remedy plan.
It's just a pity that what they were dealing with at the beginning were two sixth-order spirit beasts, and one of them had also stepped into the seventh-order realm, otherwise they might really have to be able to get their hands on it.
It's just that in the end, the final winner is someone else.
Yu Zhang and Xiao Ju were not panicked at all, they looked into the distance, there was already a faint light on the horizon, and the sunrise was approaching.
Xiao Ju nervously picked up the second sixth-order spirit core and held it close to the token.
The gorgeous light came back on.
At this moment, the top of the list suddenly shifted, and the previous second place rushed to the top of the clouds.
First place, Xiao Juri, number of points: 220,000!
At this point, the sunrise and the end of the curtain rise, this seven-day hunting competition finally came to an end here.
"Good, good. I declare that this is the end of the hunt and that all participants are requested to return to camp safely and wait for the results to be announced. ”
Suddenly, a majestic baritone voice came out of the token, it was Jin Shan Heng's voice.
Hearing this, everyone, whether it was the remaining contestants or a few heads of the family who were in charge of logistics, headed for the camp outside the jungle.
The most anticipated and exciting award ceremony will take place there. As long as you are there, accept the title of champion, you can be disgraced and admired by thousands of people.
Thousands of emotions poured into Xiao Ju's heart, and the decadence of those years, the humiliation of being called a "waste" and a "fool" for several years, seemed to have been washed away at this moment.
Unconsciously, his walking posture also became more imposing, with his head raised and his chest high, and his eyes sparkled, even though he didn't have much clothing to cover his shame.
If this is in town, it will be seen as a joke on the street. But here, everyone understands that the tattered clothes and the bare scars are the symbols of the brave battles, the proof of the warriors.
