Chapter 136: The Crowd
The day was spent in irritability, and in the afternoon, Shui Luo came to the courtyard where Zhang Hao lived again, still holding a glimmer of hope for Zuihou, and persuaded him to participate in the Tuyi Chamber of Commerce, but Zhang Hao's mind was always swayed by an inexplicable chill, and politely refused.
Night falls.
Sitting in the room, looking at the pile of candy wrappers piled up next to the bed in front of him, Zhang Hao spread his hands helplessly and said, "No, that's all for today!"
Since the battle between Xiao Bishan and Shui Luo, Zhang Hao has noticed that there is a wisp of emotion hidden in the depths of his heart, as long as he calms down and communicates with his heart, half a month later, he can actually summon the giant egg in front of him. This is also a big reason why he was so confident and no longer afraid of Shui Luo.
It seemed to be quite satisfied with a full burp, the body of the giant egg leaned slightly, leaning on Zhang Hao's shoulder, looking lazy, and then Zhang Hao felt a sense of comfortable satisfaction.
Today, a chill poured out from the bottom of his heart, so that Zhang Hao couldn't control his words, and the first thing he suspected was the giant egg. As he summoned it tonight, feeling that childlike emotion again, he denied the possibility, and his mind was puzzled.
Stretching out his hand to pamper the hat sticking to the top of the dome's head, Zhang Hao turned his palm, took out the ball, which he loved to play with, and threw it to the ground, seeing the other party immediately jumped out of bed happily, chasing the ball around the house.
"What the hell is this dome?"
In the past two months, Zhang Hao found that the ripples on the surface of the giant egg have changed very obviously, as early as in Wuyun Mountain, the texture on the eggshell is still faintly fluorescent, but now it is as black as ink, and the texture on half of the eggshell is no longer flowing everywhere, but is deeply imprinted on the surface of the eggshell, which looks quite weird.
One night, in a state of Zhang Hao's messy mood, tonight he rarely did not cultivate, just sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated. In the dark, he always felt that there was something looming on this shijie that was pulling him forward step by step, and for these, in addition to a little longing, Zhang Hao felt more confused and uneasy......
......
Today, it is destined to be a lively day in the city, and the phantom beast treasure hunting has been abandoned in the city for nearly one hundred and thirty years. The holding of this contest has undoubtedly attracted all the people in the city, and since the news was released yesterday, the people who came from all over the city have not stopped to this day.
Due to the fact that the proportion of illusionists on dalu is too low, for ordinary people, the cultivators who can contract demonic beasts are very mysterious. In ordinary times, whenever someone is lucky enough to see the illusionist playing, he can immediately become a capital to show off, wandering between teahouses and restaurants to talk to people, and he can earn a lot of eyeballs.
The holding of the Youth Lifting Contest is a major event for the entire DALU every year. At the same time, this is also an opportunity for ordinary people to get in touch with illusionists, and many people do not hesitate to spend a lot of savings to buy tickets for the competition and obtain the qualification to watch the competition in order to open their eyes.
After all, the number of seats in the tournament is limited, and not everyone can get a glimpse of the illusionist battle, just like this once-in-a-decade event, tickets have already been sold out long before the New Year. But it still attracts such a huge flow of people, hoping to learn about the competition through other people's mouths after the game. Of course, many people also follow the crowd and come to participate in some entertainment games that accompany the competition.
Phantom Beast Treasure Hunt is an activity of the Companion Youth Conservation Competition. It represents an absolute qualification, because this activity of the Companion Youth Lifting Contest can only be started with a minimum of 100 illusionists.
People who visit the city this year can't help but cry out for luck, because there is no ticket limit for this event, and anyone can go to see it. Therefore, early in the morning, the huge flow of people began to pour towards the venue of the event, making the atmosphere unprecedentedly high, and the scenery of such a sea of people made people's blood boil.
"This is where the event Phantom Beast Treasure Hunt is located?"
Standing on a mountain rock, overlooking the mountains in front of him, a smile lifted on the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth, he was no stranger to the mountains in front of him. It is the Green Wolf Mountain, which is less than thirty miles away from the city, and this mountain range was still a place where merchants competed and feared before, but with the end of the Green Wolf Village, this mountain has returned to its former tranquility.
Today, except for Zhao Lan staying at home, all the members of Zhang Hao's family are here. At this moment, the fat man leaned around He Meifeng and Yi Meiling with a flattering face, while Menghai pulled Meng Yurou and Uncle Ge to stand quietly behind Zhang Hao.
"That's right, in the past three hundred years, the city has held a total of two Phantom Beast Treasure Hunts, and the location is here. ”
Hearing Zhang Hao's question, Xi Zhi chuckled and nodded. In the past two months, Shui Luo has been going to the City Lord's Mansion with a straight face, but he still doesn't have a good impression of him because of the reason. This time, Zhang Hao chose the Hydra Chamber of Commerce, and Xi Zhi was very supportive, if he could be in front of so many people, with Shui Yonghong, who had the highest voice in the Youth Protection Competition, as a foreshadowing, he would compete for the first place in the Hydra Chamber of Commerce in one fell swoop. It was undoubtedly a huge boost to Zhang Hao's fame, although he knew that the other party might not care about these false names.
Being able to become an illusionist is nothing but envy in the eyes of ordinary people. But as an illusionist, in order to improve his strength, he needs to put in efforts that ordinary people can't understand. In between the experiences, there are many desperate situations that encounter life and death crises. The four dangerous places on Dalu are infested with the blood of illusionists everywhere.
After going through life and death, forcibly breaking the shackles of the body, growing up step by step, and becoming a strong master, which illusionist doesn't want to have the glory that he has worked hard for, and who will refuse to become a high-profile and respected existence?
Glory is nothing more than a false name, no matter how you praise and publicize it, you can't escape the word 'vulgar' after all. Born in the world, in just a few decades, there are not a few people who run for fame and profit, not to mention that now the so-called decades have been expanded ten times or even dozens of times in the long life of cultivators?
Stretching out his finger and pointing to the slightly low Xiaolangtou Mountain next to the Green Wolf Mountain, Xi Zhi explained: "Brother Xiaohao, you have to remember that after the event starts, you will not only attack the phantom beasts on the top of the mountain, but also be careful of the attacks of the participants. After all, this time Shui Luo and Leng Quanying are opposed, and the rewards are very rich, and the color is even more precious. In addition, the opportunity for activities is rare, and those young people may not keep their hands in order to fight, according to the previous phantom beast treasure hunting, many people died among them. ”
Nodding secretly, Zhang Hao had already learned the rules of the Phantom Beast Treasure Hunt just now. That is the Water Moist Chamber of Commerce and the three parties of the Tan family and the Liu family that they support, as well as Leng Quanying and the two families that they support, each of them also selected six people, and put each other's six contract phantom beasts on the east and west sides of the Green Wolf Mountain, and the two demon beasts were tied with a jade plate. According to the different star levels of the phantom beasts, the points marked on the jade plate are also different, but the minimum is also ten points.
In addition, each participant on both sides carries an iron medal marked with one point. Each of the twelve people who take the recommended test will also carry a jade medal on their bodies, but the points marked as ten points will be marked, and others can also earn points by capturing the jade medals on these people's bodies.
Compared to the situation where the six heads were gathered together, and there was also an eight-star demonic beast. Undoubtedly, it is relatively easy to seize the jade medal on the person.
Chaotic!
This is the conclusion that Zhang Hao came to after going through the rules of the activity in his mind. The people who took the recommendation test are now fat in the eyes of others, and each participant will make a big move to get the iron medal on the other side. What's more, there is a huge contradiction between the Water Chamber of Commerce and the Tuyi Chamber of Commerce, and such a competition is undoubtedly an activity that makes the two sides completely opposed.
The main thing is that the event is set up with rich rewards. In addition to the top three prizes, the first place of both sides with more points will be judged as the winner. And the winner only needs to get two points to redeem the reward. The reward is provided by the losing side, and the minimum is a small bottle of energy power beads worth 500 high-grade power stones. In addition to the top three, the brands obtained by the losers will become broken and useless, which is also a rule of the two chambers of commerce.
Therefore, both the defenders and the predators will rush to each other once the treasure hunt begins. This activity is very unpredictable, and even if some people get their hands on someone else's brand, it is very likely that someone else will take it.
This is not an ordinary test of experience, but it is a real danger to life. But seeing the excited expressions of those young people who signed up for the treasure hunt after being screened and qualified, Zhang Hao seemed to faintly feel a kind of madness as an illusionist for the sake of fame. Since then, he has also been able to understand a little bit of the reason why Shui Luo's reputation was greatly damaged after the Weishenme recommended test, and he would be murderous to himself.
"Brother Xiao Hao, each jade plate includes six phantom beasts and six recommended testers, a total of twelve pieces. The iron medals are about 50 pieces each, and Zuihou will be ranked according to the total score of the event. It is conceivable that there are more than 100 young people who are qualified to participate in the treasure hunt this time, and when the time comes, the scene will definitely be very chaotic. ”
Turning his head to look at the spectacular scene of the crowd of people under the high platform, the noisy noise of the people in his ears, Xi Zhi seemed to recall the bloody years of his youth, pointed to a condescending high platform on the head of the little wolf, and said excitedly: "After the treasure is captured, the jade medal will be counted there, and if you can win the first place, you will hold a ceremony to accept the much-anticipated award." The Medal of Honor is a symbol of great benefit for the first time in the future. ”
"Among these people, there are many shili around the country of Xiran, once they reach the top, the population is passed down, it is indeed a great opportunity for young people to become famous and rise to Dalu. ”
Menghai's face was flushed, Zhang Hao participated in the Phantom Beast Treasure Hunt, and he agreed very much. The amazing performance of the other party in the previous recommended test made those who did not look at him seriously in the past now treat each other with respect and courtesy. This is the treatment that comes with the aura, and he never dreamed that he would be able to enjoy such a status in his life.
Feeling the excitement of Xi Zhi and Menghai, Zhang Hao shook his head and smiled, his eyes turned to the crowd below the mountain, and a wisp of fluctuation couldn't help but appear in his heart. Glory comes from people, and if the Zhengyuan Dalu Phantom Master walks all over the place, it must be passed down to this day, and this kind of atmosphere will definitely not be formed.
"Uncle Xi, if you win two jade medals at the same time and win two first places in this event, can you get the blood of Han Xuancao and Nine-Star Low-grade Demonic Beasts?" Retracting his gaze, Zhang Hao looked at Xi Zhi and asked.
"Forehead ......"
Hearing this question, Xi Zhi was a little speechless for a while, looked at Zhang Hao with a wry smile, and said, "It is not easy to defend against the other party's plunder in the treasure hunt. And on the basis of big wins and losses, people on their own side rarely choose to attack their own people and seize their own people's brands. Unless, of course, you can do it without leakage. ”
Xi Zhi did not say it thoroughly, but faintly pointed out a little: "The contestants attracted by Xihe City this year include many talents from neighboring countries who have not gathered enough numbers and given up the competition. There are as many as one hundred and ten people who are qualified to contract phantom beasts, and almost all of them are admitted to the Phantom Beast Treasure Hunting Event. Also, the most important thing is that if someone does win two firsts, it means a draw, and the prizes for the top three on both sides will be cancelled. This is an act that offends everyone, and once you become an enemy of the public, the consequences are ......"
Hearing the solemnity in Xi Zhi's words, Zhang Hao nodded slightly, the top three of the two sides add up to only six, and the rest of the people are all rushing for the point reward, if you fight to zuihou but find that it is a draw, and you end up with nothing, everyone will definitely not give up. However, the attraction brought by the blood of the cold Xuancao and the low-grade demonic beasts of the Nine Stars gave him an idea of eagerness to try. With the help of the Dome, even if more than 100 people besieged him, he had the confidence to deal with it.
"Brother Xiaohao, arrived so early?"
Just as a few people were talking, a group of people came from afar, and the first one with a smile on his face was Shui Luo, followed by three young people with frosty faces.
Two months is enough time for Shui Fei to heal from the injuries at the time of the recommended test. But the resentment in her heart and the hatred brought about by the scene in front of her like being blown away like a sandbag in public have not been alleviated in the slightest, and when she saw Zhang Hao at this moment, a cold chill immediately erupted in her eyes.
And in these days, what Shui Yonghong heard the most in his ears was the talk about Zhang Hao, going out on the street, the subordinates of the Chamber of Commerce branch, Zhou Qian deliberately or unintentionally often mentioned it, and Zuihou Shui Luo's constant nagging. And he should be the object of everyone's talk after the recommended test. But in the end, he was forgotten by everyone in an unknown corner, all because of Zhang Hao's existence, so he also hated it.
But today, Shui Yonghong's mood has eased a little. After all, there are not too many restrictions on the strength of the treasure hunter, and the big event is approaching, he has the strongest talent and strength, and he has begun to appear in people's sight again, becoming the seed player that everyone is competing to bet on, and now what he has to do is to take advantage of the opportunity to grab the treasure to get back his face, become the focus of people's eyes again, and enjoy the feeling of being noticed.
Bowed lightly to Shui Lao, Zhang Hao directly ignored the six cold rays coming from behind him, he didn't care about these three young people at all.
Feeling the hostility that came at this moment, Shui Luo's brows twitched, and he immediately smiled: "The opening ceremony of the treasure hunting event is about to start, let's go and meet the major shili participating in this event." ”
After speaking, Shui Luo nodded to Xi Zhi, and before leaving, he led everyone to the table arranged on the right side towards the foot of the mountain. There, the Tuyi Chamber of Commerce and many of Shili's core figures have gathered......
