Chapter 11: The Hunt Begins

"The Xuanzong recruitment examination is divided into two levels, one is the hunting test, and the other is the assignment test. ”

"Hunting, as the name suggests, is to hunt demon beasts. Every four people form a team, and within a three-day period, hunting a hundred eighth-order demon beasts is qualified. ”

"Only after passing the hunting test can you participate in the next test, and the test is the talent test. ”

"Hunting and testing, and passing all the two levels, you can enter the Xuanzong and become a disciple of the outer sect. ”

"If you only pass the hunting test, but you don't pass the test, you can only be a registered disciple. ”

"Did you understand what I said?"

Liang Wei, who was dressed in a blue and silver elder's robe, stood on the high platform and looked at the thousands of young monks below and said loudly.

"Understood!"

The crowd replied in unison, loudly.

"Okay, let's form a team now, and after a stick of incense, go to the Great Demon Forest for a hunting test. Elder Liang Wei of the Outer Sect said again.

As soon as the words fell, everyone began to look for the team.

Xiao Jiechen said in a low voice: "I remember that the last time Xuanzong recruited the exam, there was only one level, why did there be an extra hunting test this time?"

"It is said that it is a special addition to screen the actual combat ability of the disciples of the outer sect. Situ Lang replied.

"Senior Situ, do you even know this?" Xiao Jiechen was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Situ Lang would be very powerful if he could know the history of Wu Lianxing.

But he didn't expect that he even knew everything about the moment.

Situ Lang smiled: "Young master, the minister can only understand the world because of the national seal. ”

"Chuan Guoxi still has this ability?"

"That's nature. Situ Lang nodded and said, "The magic of the national seal still needs to be slowly experienced by the young master in the future." ”

While they were talking, a light voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.

"This son, I see that you are alone, you should not have found a team yet, right?"

Xiao Jiechen raised his eyes and found that a tall girl in Tsing Yi appeared in front of him at some point.

The girl has outstanding appearance, moving voice, more beautiful than Qin Hongling, and looks seventeen or eighteen years old.

At this moment, he was blinking a pair of starry eyes looking at Xiao Jiechen, waiting for Xiao Jiechen to reply.

"Hmm. Xiao Jiechen retracted his gaze and nodded.

"That'...... Why don't you join us?" The girl showed a smile and introduced, "My name is Su Muqing, and I am refining qi ninefold. ”

After speaking, he pointed to a young man in a red robe not far away, and said, "That's my cousin, Zhu Qianyu, quenching the body fourfold, the name of the person next to him is He Shang, the quenching body is two." ”

Zhu Qianyu was thin and tall, but the one standing next to him was short, bald, big-eared, named He Shang.

Xiao Jiechen glanced at the two of them, then revealed his cultivation, and said to Su Muqing: "I am also a nine-fold qi refiner. ”

"It's okay. Su Muqing smiled sweetly, "With my cousin and the two of them here, there shouldn't be any problems with the hunting test." ”

"Okay, I'll join. ”

Xiao Jiechen thought about it and agreed.

Anyway, he had to find a team, and it was impossible for him to participate in the hunt alone.

Since a beautiful woman threw an olive branch to him, he didn't think he was low in cultivation, but naturally he was disrespectful.

But at this moment, the red-robed young man named Zhu Qianyu walked over to Su Muqing and blamed: "Cousin, why did you find a person who refines qi nine times, I think he is at the bottom of these thousands of people." ”

"That is, if a girl is reasonable, but a big man's cultivation is almost the same as yours, it's really ...... Enough waste. He Shang also walked over, looked at Xiao Jiechen with a disgusted expression and said.

The undisguised ridicule of the two suddenly made Su Muqing very embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Cousin, don't talk about it!"

Who knew that Xiao Jiechen's face was as usual, and he was not ashamed, as if the object of their ridicule was not him.

Seeing this, Zhu Qianyu was even more disdainful in her heart, clasped her arms with her hands, and said coldly: "The skin is really thick enough." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became even more awkward.

Su Muqing hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Childe, what's your name?"

"Emperor Xiao. Xiao Jiechen replied.

He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he used a pseudonym.

"Xiao Gongzi, the hunting test will start soon, let's go. Su Muqing beckoned, motioning for Xiao Jiechen to set off with them to the Great Demon Forest.

Xiao Jiechen responded and followed behind Su Muqing, and immediately swept in the direction of the Great Demon Forest.

In a short time, thousands of monks followed a few Xuanzong elders to the Great Demon Forest fifty miles outside Qingxiao City.

In front of me is a towering ancient tree, the beautiful trees are verdant, each one has seven or eight people hugging the thickness, at a glance, there are thousands of them, it looks very shocking.

This ancient forest has existed for a long time, it is said to have a history of tens of thousands of years, and there are many demon beasts among them, but the reason why it is called 'Great Demon' is not because there are many demon beasts, but because there is a second-order spirit beast comparable to a monk of the Thunder Tribulation Realm in its depths, so it is named.

As soon as everyone stepped into the Great Demon Forest, there was a sudden sound of rotten wood and dead branches mixed with various bones breaking under their feet, there were animal bones, and there was no shortage of human bones, and at the same time, there was a faint smell of blood wafting along the air, which was terrifying.

The bones were all over the place, and the blood was pervasive.

It can be seen that the danger of the Great Demon Forest.

"This is the first dangerous place in Fengzhou, the Great Demon Forest!"

Liang Wei, the elder of the outer sect in charge, spoke again, his voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

"This place is as famous as the Demon Suppression Pass in Reverse Prefecture, the Decisive Death Valley in Hanzhou, and the Heavenly Fire Earth Palace in Liezhou, and is called the 'Four Great Dangerous Lands of Great Chu'. ”

"Of course, compared with the dangerous places such as the Demon Suppression Pass, the Valley of Decisive Death, and the Heavenly Fire and Earth Palace, the Great Demon Forest is still slightly better, as long as you don't rush into the depths, you won't have any worries about your life. ”

"According to the rules of this hunting test, any participant is not allowed to step into the depths of the Great Demon Forest, and can only hunt demon beasts on the periphery.

Liang Wei emphasized with a serious face.

After that, the hunting cards were distributed.

The so-called hunting card is a magic weapon to record the number of monsters hunted, the cost is low, and you only need to depict some runes inside the jade card, which is in charge of the captain.

The captain of Xiao Juechen's team is naturally Zhu Qianyu, after Zhu Qianyu received the hunting card, he beckoned Su Muqing and He Shang to hunt demon beasts, ignoring Xiao Juechen, as if treating him as air.

"Xiao Gongzi, my cousin is like this, I hope you don't mind. Su Muqing said with an embarrassed face.

"It doesn't matter. Xiao Jiechen waved his hand, his expression flat.

In fact, he didn't care about anything at all, as long as he could enter Xuanzong.

Next, Xiao Jiechen followed Zhu Qianyu, He Shang, Su Muqing and others to start a three-day hunting journey.

Xuanzong's hunting test is actually very simple, as long as he hunts a hundred eighth-order demon beasts within three days, he will pass.

The real difficulty is how to protect the hunting cards.

Because the hunting rules allow you to snatch other people's hunting cards for your own, the hunting cards are particularly important and are related to the fate of a whole team.

After walking for about a stick of incense, Xiao Jiechen and the others came to a swamp.

The swamp was about five zhang long and three zhang wide, and it was filled with pitch-black mire, and there were many bubbles boiling and rolling on the surface, making it look like a huge black cauldron that was boiling.

In the middle of this 'giant cauldron', a huge blood-red crocodile is swimming slowly.

This blood crocodile is about seven meters long, two meters wide, with an extremely long tail, occupying one-third of the body, its back and tail are covered with blood-red scale armor, and its eyes are like two blood lamps, exuding a monstrous ferocity!
