Chapter 172: The Final Test of the Hunt
readx;? Early in the morning, the morning light was faint, and a chaotic sound of footsteps broke the silence of the valley. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the deep valley road, a group of figures were hurrying towards the valley mouth.
Mu Su and the other five cultivators walked at the front of the team, Bian Yao and other twenty-three late-stage dream maniacs followed, and six sword maniacs, including Twilight Song, walked at the end of the line.
Today, they will plunge into that vast primeval forest to take part in the "Hunting Death Test".
Among the group, including the teaching, no one spoke, all with solemn faces, each with a calm step, solemnly walked towards the exit of the valley!
There was not much time, and the crowd walked away from the valley and found themselves in the tall and verdant giant wood forest.
The morning light had not yet penetrated the leafy foliage, and the light in the forest was not very bright.
Under the leadership of the teacher, Bian Yao and the others marched into the forest in a procession, passing through the dense thick trees, and marching in the direction of due south.
About a moment later, a piece of open land more than ten zhang square appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the open space here was artificially cleared out and specially used as a gathering point.
Bian Yao swept his eyes and unexpectedly found that the three people, including the principal Mu Qiyuan, Jiangu Mu Jian and Baihua Gu Mu Lingxiang, seemed to have arrived at the meeting place in advance and were standing quietly on the east side of the clearing.
On the west side of the clearing, sixty-eight hunters wearing wolf-faced masks had already been divided into five rows and thirteen columns, standing there in unison. The pupils of those eyes, which shone with a faint green light, stared coldly ahead through the two holes in the mask, their eyes as sharp as sharp blades.
These "hunters" are all elites drawn from all over Mu County, and their realm cultivation is at the peak level of dream madness, and their identities are extremely experienced criminal arresters and forest rangers, who are good at investigation, tracking and capture.
There are two sides to the participants: hunters and fugitives.
Bian Yao and the other twenty-nine people who came out of the valley naturally belonged to the "fugitives" side.
Among all the "fugitives", the six sword cultivators who are recognized as the strongest are Mu Chen and Sword Valley, among which Twilight Song and Mu Xiao are slightly weaker because they have been in the Sword Mania Realm for a short time.
Under Mu Su's instructions, Bian Yao, Twilight Song and twenty-seven Mu clan disciples strode to the center of the clearing, standing in a scattered but orderly manner.
Then, Mu Lingxiang stepped forward and handed out a special timer to each "fugitive".
After the host announces the start of the "Hunt Death Test", the 29 timers will automatically turn on the timer function. Each time the hunter defeats or captures a fugitive, the opponent's timer will be confiscated and turned off.
According to the old practice, the director of the valley solemnly explained the rules of the "Hunting Death Test" in front of all the references.
After speaking, Mu Qiyuan glanced meaningfully at the fugitives in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spit out two words: "Time!"
All of a sudden, the crowd seemed to be frightened and dispersed!
But when he saw twenty-nine figures, like arrows off the string, they suddenly shot away in different directions around them.
In just three or two breaths, all the "fugitives" had all disappeared into the dense forest and disappeared completely.
In the clearing, the head of the valley and the group of teachers stood quietly, their expressions different.
All sixty-eight "hunters" sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to meditate and pranayama.
Time passed silently, and a moment passed quickly.
Mu Qiyuan spread out his palm and glanced at the timer, and suddenly shouted: "Chase!"
Before the words fell, sixty-eight figures rose up one after another, one by one, like hungry falcons, scurrying up and speeding towards the jungle in all directions.
Among them, there were nine hunters, each of whom formed a team of three, and rushed to the northeast one after another. A moment ago, the direction in which Twilight had fled was to the northeast.
Mu Qiyuan turned around and stood with his hands in his hands, looking in the northeast direction, his expression was calm, and there was no abnormal emotion on his face.
Seeing that the hunter's figures were all hidden in the forest, Mu Su pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Although he only has the sword madness realm, his talent and combat understanding are excellent, is there really no problem with this arrangement?"
"Do you need me to chase after me and stare in the dark?" a teacher next to him took a half step forward and asked in a timely voice.
Mu Qiyuan raised his right hand lightly and waved it, signaling that there was no need for this, and said: "No need! Those nine people are the most experienced hunters, and two of them are only half a step away from the Dream King, and they may break through the realm at any time! The three groups of hunting teams that these nine people are divided into, no matter which team catches up first, it will be more than enough to deal with him! What's more, he doesn't know his situation yet, and if he falls into such an obvious disadvantage, there is no reason to be spared. ”
Mu Lingxiang on the side couldn't help frowning, his expression was a little complicated, he was silent for a while, and finally pressed the unbearable meaning in his heart, and asked: "He is a sword maniac, in terms of speed...... Will the hunters be able to catch up?"
Mu Qiyuan smiled softly and said confidently: "This is not a wide and unobstructed plain, and in the forest environment, he can't fully exert his advantage in speed. In comparison, the 'hunter' who has been hunting and cruising in this forest for many years has an advantage, although it takes a little more time and energy, but it is only a matter of time and time to catch up with him!"
The gloomy Gusen is quiet and silent.
Suddenly, a gray figure suddenly flashed left and right among the dense trees, rushing wildly. The ground, covered with fallen leaves of the past, made a rustling sound as the footsteps moved quickly.
Bian Yao stared intently ahead, leaned forward, and quickly alternated his feet on the ground. The slightly humid air rushed to the face, and the sound of the wind swept by.
In the line of sight, the sturdy towering ancient trees are rapidly retreating behind them.
According to the countermeasures discussed the day before yesterday, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the teachers, when Mu Qiyuan shouted the word "time", Bian Yao chose to flee due east, and when he ran a long distance, he turned around and headed northeast.
About half a moment later, Bian Yao finally saw the gray figure with the negative sword, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly sped up to catch up.
After a brief moment of walking hand in hand, after a few words of conversation, the two figures suddenly separated.
Twilight Song suddenly picked up speed and shot towards the left, running behind the right side of the road. The two of them kept the distance at about fifty zhang one after the other, and the route they traveled was roughly diagonally parallel, flying all the way to the northeast.
All the fugitives have to do, of course, is to run away and try to evade the pursuit!
Twilight Song, a fugitive, is fundamentally different from other "fugitives", he is doing a real escape! Knowing that there will be hunters chasing after him, the two of them are constantly in suspense, and they are running as fast as possible in the deep jungle.
In a jungle environment, this way of traveling is not only extremely physically demanding, but also very fast.
The first two hours were fine, but after that, every half an hour, Bian Yao would throw a few spirit fruits into his mouth and swallow them in his stomach.
The shadow of the sun gradually rose, quietly turned to the middle of the sky, and then set in the west.
When it gets dark, Bian Yao and Twilight Song close the distance between the two sides again, and then go hand in hand. Until nightfall, the forest was dark and dreary, and the two of them still did not dare to stop, but the speed was much slower than that of the day.
In this way, the two of them hurried nervously all night, and did not dare to relax at all.
At dawn the next day, the two stopped their steps, adjusted their rest for about a moment, and then distanced themselves again and continued on the road of escape.
Near noon, not far behind Bian Yao, three more figures suddenly appeared.
Suddenly sensing the approach of the hunters, Bian Yao quickly glanced back, his face showed a hint of panic, and then he suddenly turned around and turned around, speeding up and running due east to escape.
Seeing this, the three hunters turned their heads to each other and exchanged glances, but did not chase after them, but scattered slightly, accelerating towards the northeast direction.
Twilight Song hurriedly shuttled between the trees, carrying the sword wrapped in blue coarse cloth behind his back, which was a little different from before, this time he only wrapped the scabbard part, leaving the hilt uncovered with cloth.
As she ran, Twilight's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly stopped, turned around and stood in front of a large tree, looking behind her with a calm face.
After a few breaths, three figures wearing wolf-faced masks jumped out of the tree, forming an inverted triangle formation and appearing in view.
