Chapter 416: Hidden Star Realm
October is fast approaching.
The dense dark clouds over the Hidden Country finally dissipated a little.
A ray of light shot out from the gap that dissipated.
At this moment, all the cultivators who came out of Shuanglong Mountain gathered here.
They looked at the light, excited and nervous.
The ray of light gradually widened, slowly squeezing away the surrounding clouds.
When the light expanded to a hundred feet, it finally stopped.
One cultivator flew out first, and then the other cultivators followed him one after another.
Ma Xie and the others also followed the large army and flew into the pillar of light.
The people of the hidden country are hiding in the mountains in the distance, watching these "immortals" flying immortals.
When all the immortals flew into the pillar of light, the annual festival of the Hidden Kingdom began.
The country, which only enjoys one month of sunshine a year, sees this time as a gift from the heavens.
It's just that at this time of year, there will always be a lot of "immortals" who come here to fly immortals, so the people of the Hidden Kingdom only start to celebrate their festivals after waiting for the immortals to fly immortals.
For three full hours, the successive assessors all entered the Hidden Star Realm through the pillar of light.
The people also walked out into the sun under the leadership of the king.
The clouds all cleared and the grand celebration finally began.
Ma Xie looked back, and the mortals were the size of ants, jumping on the ground.
"That's their happiness. Wan Feifei said, "Isn't it simple?"
"Mortals are not simple. Ma Xie said, "Everyone is the same. ”
Ma Xie no longer looked at the pomp and circumstance below, and flew forward with his head held high.
At the end of the pillar of light, there is a mysterious passage, through which it is the Hidden Star Realm.
The Hidden Star Realm is a wreck of stars outside the domain.
There aren't any resources here, it's just big and empty.
The entire Hidden Star Realm was one-fifth the size of the Blue Furnace Sword Plain, which was the size of a medium-sized country.
Before the establishment of the Hidden Kingdom, it was also a place of war.
The great battles of the cultivators have completely destroyed the landform here, and it is no longer suitable for human existence.
Yuan, a benevolent cultivator, opened up a secret realm here in order not to let the mortals who could not leave here suffer.
This secret realm is the Hidden Star Realm.
Through his great mana, Yuan directly opened up a passage in the sky above the Hidden Kingdom.
When this passage receives sunlight at a certain time, it will automatically open and lead to the Hidden Star Realm.
His purpose in doing this was to open up a battlefield in the Hidden Star Realm that only belonged to cultivators!
The Hidden Star Realm has a vast area, and it is extremely strong, making it a natural battlefield for cultivators.
Every year, if there is any problem that cannot be solved by the nearby sects, they will meet here and solve the problem with a crisp and neat war.
The Hidden Kingdom also relied on this secret realm to have some income, barely supporting the operation of the entire country.
Five hundred years ago, the Dragon Slayer Alliance completely preserved the Hidden Star Realm, raising alien beasts in it as an examination room and testing ground.
When there is no assessment, it will also be rented out to some sects or large countries as a testing ground for their children.
This flat wasteland is supreme, and all of them are traces left after the battles of various sects.
Weapons, bases, wreckage, severed limbs, and even some of the most exaggerated and huge weapons.
When Ma Xie first came here, he remembered the scene when he was exploring the secret realm of the Hanging Mountain.
It used to be a battlefield for cultivators, where the Five Elements Holy Sect and the Blue Furnace Sword Sect had their final battle.
Here's a lot of room for it.
Ma Xie took out the jade bi and opened the task this time.
Mission: Hunt the Beast.
Time limit: three months.
Requirements: Kill as many beasts as possible within three months, and submit the task to the examiner after the three-month time limit is reached.
In the examination room of the Hidden Star Realm, there is only one task, and that is to slaughter alien beasts.
This seemingly simple task made all the candidates nervous.
The number of alien beasts here is fixed, and the time is only three months, so in order to get more points, you must catch more alien beasts as soon as possible.
"It looks like it's an open-ended competition and whoever gets more points depends on what we're really good at. Ma Xie said.
"This kind of competition seems to be very disadvantageous for cultivators with a small number of people. Ma Xie said.
Catching a large number of exotic beasts must be a little advantageous in team combat, and hunting is a reason.
"If you want to be able to compete with those big organizations, unless you have super personal ability, hunt down those alien beasts of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, especially the alien beasts in the later stage. Wan Feifei said.
A seventh-layer alien beast has only one point, while a nineth-layer early-stage alien beast has five thousand points, and a nineth-layer peak alien beast has fifty thousand points!
If you can deal with one such alien beast alone, then it is comparable to hunting 50,000 seventh-layer alien beasts.
"We need to have a good plan. Wan Feifei said: "Is it to capture a large number of alien beasts of the seventh and eighth layers, or to risk looking for the alien beasts of the ninth layer." ”
"That's right, this time we can't have an encounter with the alien beast like in the first level, we have to take the initiative and be a real dragon slayer. Ma Xie said.
After entering the Hidden Star Realm, the cultivators quickly dispersed, firstly to find traces of alien beasts, and secondly, to familiarize themselves with the situation here earlier.
The four of them also landed on a cliff.
"I think we have to find a suitable base, so our first step should be to gather a lot of intelligence. Ma Xie said.
Liu Zongxuan nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me, these dolls of mine still have a great effect." ”
He unleashed the "scouts" and began to explore the cliff as the center.
"Our strength is actually not enough to hunt the beasts in the late ninth layer and peak stage of the Qi Refining Realm, if we don't have sufficient planning and strength, it would be very risky to do so. Wan Feifei said.
Zhuge Ruzhi: "Actually, my opinion is the same. Our biggest advantage is that we have two formation masters, and we also have a mechanism master, coupled with the strength of the middle stage of Lao Wan's Melting Pot Pass, in fact, our best plan is to hunt. ”
All four agreed to this plan.
Ma Xie and Zhuge Ruzhi were responsible for arranging the formation, and Liu Zongxuan was responsible for making the mechanism for hunting and catching strange beasts.
The extraordinary task is the most dangerous, that is, to attract the alien beast into the formation.
He has experience in catching strange beasts, knows many strange beasts, and his strength is considered the strongest among the four, so he is the most suitable for this task.
After the division of labor between the four of them, it was up to Liu Zongxuan to find a suitable location and herd.
"By the way, what about the army you are talking about?" Wan Feifei said, and he had been thinking about Liu Zongxuan and Zhuge Ruzhi's plan.
"Lao Wan, just look at it, we really have an army this time, I'll make you the commander-in-chief." Zhuge Ruzhi said.
Soon, Liu Zongxuan's trap beast found a valley, and the four of them quickly rushed here.
The valley is long and narrow, and it is surrounded by solid rocks, which is ideal for setting up formations.
"We've got to set up a maze first, and when the beasts come in, they'll lose their aggressiveness, and we'll be able to hunt a little easier. Zhuge Ruzhi said.
"We also need a few powerful offensive battle formations, and we also need battle formations that can give full play to our strength, if a high-level alien beast comes in, Senior Brother Wan and I may need to fight directly. Ma Xie said, looking at the terrain.
The two of them took out almost all the spirit stones and all kinds of ores and spells, and arranged seven fourth-order formations and sixteen third-order formations in the entire valley.
The entire valley looks the same as it did on the outside, except that the inside is full of murderous machines.
When everything was ready, Liu Zongxuan's trap beasts also sent back a steady stream of information.
"One hundred and twenty miles to the northeast, there is a group of ice and fire two-headed wolves active, and the head wolf is the middle of the ninth layer. ”
"Three hundred miles to the south, there is a group of crocodiles, all of them are eight-story beasts, about thirty, but they live in the water, and it is not so easy to come. ”
"Fifty miles to the west, there is a flock of hellbirds, a thousand in all, led by the first stage of the ninth floor, but this bird is extremely fast, and if you are not careful, then the person who lures them will be overtaken. ”
Liu Zongxuan gathered the information and told everyone one by one.
"The Hellbirds are too fast and have a violent personality, so I suggest that you pay attention to this group of ice and fire wolves!" Ma Xie suggested.
Zhuge Ruzhi said: "That's okay, we're just at the beginning, it's better to be cautious." ”
The four of them drew up a plan, and Wan Fei went out to attract strange beasts, and Ma Xie assisted from the side.
Soon, this group of ice and fire wolves couldn't stand the extraordinary provocation and led the wolves to chase after them.
The head wolf was extremely fast, and soon caught up with Wan Fei.
A mouthful of ice qi erupted from the mouth of the head wolf, and struck towards Wan Fei.
In the sky, Ma Xie swung a sword qi towards the Xuan Ice Qi, cutting it off.
And Wan Fei, without the slightest drop in speed, continued to lead the wolves to run ahead.
The two covered each other in this way, and introduced the wolves into the formation all the way.
As soon as the wolves rushed into the formation, Zhuge Ruzhi activated all the formations, and Wan Feifei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lao Wan, well done!" Zhuge Ruzhi shouted excitedly, this is the rhythm he likes!
When the wolves stepped into the formation, their movements suddenly slowed down, their eyes were confused, and only the head wolf and the tall wolves behind him still had a trace of clarity in their eyes.
The head wolf let out a long howl, and the rest of the wolves recovered.
"This wolf is really troublesome, we have to deal with it first!" said Ma Evil.
The formations were all opened, and countless formations flew into the sky, and thunder and lightning condensed in the sky.
"Hahaha! There are so many thunder stones, this thunder array can finally be perfectly played!"
Zhuge Ruzhi said excitedly.
He hadn't comprehended the "Dao" yet, so he could only use ores containing various attributes to activate the ability of the formation.
Thunderbolts slashed down from the sky, hitting the wolf.
