Chapter Twenty-Four: Night Walking

It was late at night, Xue Hao was wearing a night suit and quietly walked out of the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He carried an erhu on his back, an iron and wooden stick in his right hand, and a silver tael that he had saved up for so long.

Came lightly to Xiaobai's kennel, and Xiaobai was in a sweet dream at this time.

As Xue Hao approached, Xiao Bai's ears moved. Xiao Bai, who heard the movement, opened his eyes from his sleep and looked at Xue Hao, who was dressed strangely, suspiciously.

"Shhhh ”

Xiao Bai looked at Xue Hao, who disturbed it, stretched his waist, and stood up slowly. Looking at Xue Hao's appearance, he wanted to leave here, but the food here was so good that he was reluctant to leave.

"If you don't want to go, stay here. I'll go first. Seeing Xiaobai's lazy appearance, Xue Hao said.

Xiao Bai rushed to Xue Hao's side with an arrow step, rubbed Xue Hao's calf, and signaled to follow Xue Hao. In Xiaobai's heart, compared to food, Xue Hao is a little more important.

A man and a dog sneaked up to the gate of the General's Mansion.

At this time, it was already late at night, the gate was closed, and the guards guarding the door had already rested. The general's mansion is not big, and there is Shi Chen, the general who protects the country, living in it, how can a thief dare to come in and steal things, so the security in the mansion is not strict.

At this time, only one secret sentry was sleeping on a beam on the top of the gate of the General's Palace. Usually, when he was on the night shift, he basically slept on the beam of the room, and never had any accidents.

Xue Hao gently opened a gap in the door, just enough for himself to pass through. He and Xiaobai walked out of the door lightly, and then closed the door again. He hadn't been away for long, but by the time the others found out he was gone, he didn't know where he was.

"Squeak", when the door closes, there is a subtle sound.

When the guards on the beams heard this, they were so startled that they almost fell off the beams. He steadied himself and looked around.

"Huh, the door opens?" he panicked, and was about to shout when he heard footsteps outside the door.

The guards were agile, and one of them turned over and jumped onto the roof, lying on the roof and looking out.

"Is this?Young Master Xue Hao?" he still recognized Xue Hao when he saw Xiaobai. The guard looked in the direction Xue Hao had left, then jumped off the roof and reported Shi Chen.

"He's running away from the direction of the city gate, all right, I know, you go down. Shi Chen didn't expect Xue Hao to secretly leave the house at night in order to participate in the Demon Hunting Seed Election.

He already knew Xue Hao's stubborn temper.

In fact, not allowing Xue Hao to participate in the Demon Hunting Seed Election was the result of Shi Chen's careful consideration.

Two years ago, Shi Lei went to participate in the Demon Hunting Seed Election, was eliminated, and was deeply hit, and couldn't eat for many days after coming back, and his cultivation didn't grow for a long time. It wasn't until a while later that he slowly recovered. Originally, Shi Chen wanted Shi Lei to increase his knowledge and sharpen it, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect.

So Shi Chen didn't want Xue Hao to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Shi Chen summoned Li Qing and ordered: "You go and follow Xue Hao and protect him secretly." ”

After Li Qing left, Shi Chen said to himself: "I hope you won't be hit too hard and collapse." ”

――――

Out of the General's Mansion, Xue Hao walked all the way to the city gate. When we came to the gate, it was already dark.

At the gate of the city, there are many caravans ready to leave the city.

Xue Hao found a caravan heading to the Ten Thousand Beast Empire, paid the money, and got a position to follow the caravan. It was impossible for Xue Hao to walk by himself, he didn't know the way, and it wasn't safe.

There are many people who, like Xue Hao, pay money to the caravan, get shelter from the caravan, and rush with the caravan.

The caravan traveled very slowly, and it took five days before they arrived at the capital of the Ten Thousand Beast Empire, the Beast God City.

At this time, the Demon Hunting Seed election has already begun, and because there are so many people who come to participate, the entire election will last for a few days.

The Beast God City was already overcrowded, and the major inns were full.

Not only did the Tianqin Empire not have a Demon Hunting Seed Camp, but there were also several other small countries around the Ten Thousand Beast Empire, so people from other empires rushed to Beast God City to participate in the Demon Hunting Seed Election, plus people from other cities in the Ten Thousand Beast Empire, it was natural that there were many people in Beast God City.

Xue Hao searched for a long time in the Beast God City before he found an inn in a remote corner, which was a small inn with a simple environment. Xue Hao didn't mind, as long as he had a place to live, he would be satisfied.

After such a long journey, he needs to rest and stay in good shape to go to the general election. After resting for the night, the next day, Xue Hao left Xiaobai at the inn and set off alone with an iron and wooden stick.

There is no need to ask for directions, the Beast God City is full of people who are going to participate in the Demon Hunting Seed Election, and Xue Hao only needs to follow the flow of people. Xue Hao followed the flow of people out of the Beast God City, and it turned out that it was not inside the city, but outside the city.

In a mountain col not far from the Beast God City, Xue Hao saw a huge military camp. This is the Demon Hunting Seed Camp.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely pass. ”

"Don't be nervous, kid, you have another chance. ”

“......”

Xue Hao's surroundings were full of such conversations. Most of them are parents who come with their children, and only a few are alone like Xue Hao.

Glancing at the endless flow of people, Xue Hao estimated that there were so many people, and no more than one-tenth of them could pass in the end. Xue Hao prayed in his heart: I hope I can pass the election.

In fact, the fierce competition is beyond Xue Hao's imagination, and only one percent of the people who can pass the general election are registered.

I don't know how long I queued, Xue Hao got a registration number, more than 13,400, that is to say, more than 13,400 people signed up in front of him.

Next, Xue Hao needs to conduct several tests, and finally synthesize several results to decide whether to be selected.

The first thing to do was the age test, and when Xue Hao was queuing, he ran into Shi Lei.

Shi Lei was surprised: "Xue Hao, why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here for the general election. ”

"Have you broken through the martial artist realm?"

Xue Hao shook his head: "Not yet." ”

Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he broke through to the martial artist at the age of fourteen, if Xue Hao broke through the martial artist and passed the general election now, he would be very embarrassed. "Then I'll go over there to test my strength first, good luck. ”

After Shi Lei left, Xue Hao continued to line up.

Age testing is fast. Xue Hao saw an old man sitting at a table in front of him, testing the teenagers who participated in the general election.

I saw that he grabbed a young man's hand, carefully squeezed his palm, touched his forearm again, and said, "No, you are sixteen years old, over the age limit." ”

The requirement for the Demon Hunting Seed General Election is no more than fifteen years old.

The boy cried and said, "Please, I have just passed my sixteenth birthday, please give me a chance." ”

The old man shook his head: "No, the rules are the rules." "He's had encountered this kind of thing countless times.

The boy left disappointed. After the rest of the team saw this, several people took the initiative to leave the team, but there were still a few people who were lucky, thinking that they could lie about their age and not be discovered.

When it was Xue Hao's turn, the old man carefully pinched the bones in his palms and arms, and said, "Twelve years old, pass." Then he wrote the words "twelve" on his information card.

Next is the strength test, Xue Hao's martial arts third stage. When testing his strength, Xue Hao found that most people did not reach the realm of martial artists, and many people were like him, only the strength of martial artists, to try their luck.

Finally, there is the natal test. After this test, it is decided whether to be selected or not.

This test is the most troublesome and has the most test examiners.

Xue Hao saw a flash of light in a person's hand, and a kitchen knife appeared, which had already reached the realm of martial arts, but heard the examiner of the test say: "A kitchen knife is not a weapon, no, eliminate!"

I didn't expect the requirements to be so strict, Xue Hao said in his heart, you must know that kitchen knives can also cut people and green goblins.

Next, Xue Hao opened his eyes and saw all kinds of strange natal weapons, and everything in the world was everywhere. Most of them are not weapons and have been eliminated, even if they reach the division level.

An examiner looked at the phantom of a giant axe in front of him, a little embarrassed. This is a long-handled giant axe, and it is obvious that this is a high-grade natal weapon, but its owner has not yet reached the realm of a martial artist.

In this case, the examiner hands the person's information to a man in a military uniform. The man seemed to be in charge of the place, and when the examiners didn't know if they should pass or not, they left it to him to make the final decision.

Soon, it was Xue Hao's turn. Xue Hao handed over his materials to an examiner.

The examiner glanced at it casually and said, "Summoning your destiny." ”

The light of Xue Hao's left hand flashed, and a long stick appeared in his hand, and the phantom of this long stick was almost condensed. But after all, it is a phantom, and there is no condensation.

The examiner only thought for three seconds and said, "No, elimination!"

Although Xue Hao had been prepared in his heart, he was still unhappy when he heard this almost cold voice.

"Wait. Xue Hao said.

Xue Hao's situation has been encountered countless times, and without waiting for Xue Hao to speak, he continued: "You don't have to beg me, your destiny is impossible to pass except for breaking through to the martial master." Go ahead and don't get in the way of the people behind you. Next!"

"Wait, I'm not begging you. I'm going to challenge the Green Goblin cage!"
