Chapter 26: Encirclement and Suppression
"Let's go" Mu Qianyang also successfully got a token, and no one except himself knew what the number on it was. Mu Qianyang, who got the token, nodded at Lin Chen, and then waved his hand and led the people behind him towards the top of the mountain.
Lin Chen was still standing in place, until Long Da and the others gathered again, before he spoke, "I believe that the rules are clear to everyone, the probability of being able to reach the top of the mountain this time is theoretically one in ten, but I estimate that in the end it is also a handful of numbers."
"Lin Tou, we are content that we people can reach this halfway up the mountain smoothly, and the matter at the top of the mountain will be left to you!"
"Yes, Lin Tou, as long as you can reach the top, the five young men of us have ordered us to come over before we come, and everything is under your command."
"Yes, yes, yes"
Lin Chen nodded at this group of more than thirty people, although they had bad intentions at the bottom of the mountain before, but what they said now was sincere.
Lin Chen didn't say much, just nodded at Long Da and signaled that he could go. Turn around and head towards the top of the mountain.
With the departure of Lin Chen, Mu Qianyang and others, the crowd on the mountainside began to dissipate one after another. Individuals or teams of three, or groups of five, scattered in the huge Panlong Mountain.
"Patriarch Hebu, who do you think will be able to reach the top last this time?" asked the old man surnamed Zhao on the wooden platform with interest.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhao can't even see that I can guess there. If I want to look at this battle for the top of the mountain, there should be no problem with those two subordinates in Tongchuan. The Mu Qianyang below Zhixing is barely one, as for the others, maybe there are one or two masters hidden There are also one or two masters who can't say" Hebe and Bu laughed heartily, he was still very satisfied with the situation of this Qishan competition.
Lin Dai'er's unexpected joy is not counted, the three men and women that Mu Qianyang and Lin Chen have seen before are also good. If one or two more of these remaining people can be favored, it will be a bumper harvest.
"Well, which two of Tongchuan Xian's nephews are really good, even if they are placed in the sect, they can be regarded as the middle and lower level among their peers. To be able to reach this point without guidance, the talent should be good. As long as you cultivate it well, I think it will not be a problem to advance to gather yuan in the future. As for that Mu Qianyang, I'm afraid that his qualifications are a little worse, but it still depends on his final performance" Zhao Laodao touched the beard on his chin, his eyes narrowed, and he looked like he was pointing at the country.
"Hey, old man, watch the game, watch the game, that's so much nonsense. How do you know that Mu Qianyang can't do it, it's true!" The "Lu Renjia" behind him was suddenly unhappy when he heard Zhao Laodao's words. In fact, she doesn't know who is more powerful, but she just wants to go against the old way.
"Hey, you girl, let's watch the game with Patriarch Bu" Since Zhao Laodao is the master of "Lu Renjia", he naturally understands her thoughts. However, he didn't break it, just shook his head a little funny, and continued to pay attention to the competition in the mountains.
In an ordinary clearing in Panlong Mountain, Lin Chen stood on a smooth boulder, and next to him stood Long Da. The rest of the group of people stood in a row, in front of them a row of strong men, and each of them carried heavy weapons, including mountain axes, scarlets, shields, and so on.
The second row is dominated by crossbowmen, with the blue wolf crossbow in their hands, and the quiver full of iron arrows is carried cross-legged on their waists, all of them have sharp eyes, which makes people look at them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've checked everyone's tokens, and we have a total of thirty-one here, and the number of tokens that can be drawn out is just enough for two people to reach the top. Lin Tou and I each occupy a spot, and the next thing you have to do is to continue hunting the others and try to qualify, and Lin Tou and I will be separated from everyone. I hope to see you at the top of the mountain!" Long Da pulled his throat, his eyes were a little helpless and firm, he looked at Lin Chen as he spoke, and after receiving Lin Chen's signal, he waved his hand to disperse everyone this time.
After getting the permission of Lin Chen and Long Da, the temporarily formed team dispersed in a hurry, and each started their own hunting battle, and Lin Langtian also left this place with everyone. In this battle for qualification, they are both hunters and prey.
"Lin Tou, what should we do next?"
"Hunting!" Lin Chen looked into the distance, and two words popped out of the corners of his mouth
"Quick, quick!"
"Big brother, we should have escaped the pursuit of those men!" shouted to a man in a sheepskin jacket, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, with his hands on his knees, panting to the man in front of him.
"I shouldn't be able to catch up, after all, there are only two of us, and even if we do, there will only be two brands. They must have gone after the others," the other looked at the older boy and nervously looked back at the road, and there was nothing unusual except for the dense weeds and broken branches, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, the patriarch told us before I came here that this Qishan Tournament was cruel and abnormal, and I didn't pay much attention to it originally, after all, if you and my brother's strength join forces, even if you meet a three-star hunter, you will have the power to fight. But who would have thought that this would not be easy to enter the second round, and it was surrounded and suppressed not long after the beginning, alas, "The younger boy collapsed under an ancient tree, his face full of indignation, and even a little complaint."
It is true that as he said, the strength of him and his brother is two-star hunters, and if the two join forces, they will indeed have the power to fight against a three-star hunter. However, these big tribes in the riverside city are not one-on-one with you at all, and they are a large group of people when they come up, no matter how strong you are, it will not help, and it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists.
"Alright, complain less. On weekdays, I told you to work harder, but you just didn't listen, and now you know who you regret?!" The young man originally wanted to say something, but suddenly shouted, pulled out the short-handled hunting knife at his waist, and looked at the woods in front of him vigilantly.
"Who?" The young man who was originally leaning on the tree also jumped up at this time, constantly scanning the surroundings, and then looked at his brother with some doubts, "Big brother, are you dazzled, there are people there?"
"Shhhh
"Hahaha, good insight" A hearty whisper suddenly came out of the woods, and then Ronda's figure gradually appeared on the branch of the big tree that the boy was leaning on just now. The sturdy body, coupled with the huge mountain axe behind him, somewhat seems to be a bit of a heavenly general.
"Who are you?" the young boy blushed, ashamed that he hadn't noticed it in the slightest. But it was only a momentary thought on his mind, followed by anger and nervousness.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you need to hand over the token. Ronda didn't mean to talk to them, and said directly.
"Hehe, Your Excellency has a big breath. If I'm right, you're just a three-star hunter, but you seem to have forgotten that you're alone, and we're two, and it seems that you're going to call out the token," said the older boy, who said it very hard, but there was no movement in his hand. The pressure that Longda puts on himself is by no means comparable to that of ordinary three-star hunters, this person is at least the peak strength of three-star hunters.
"Good guts, but unfortunately you're wrong. He is not one person, but two people. Lin Chen didn't know when he appeared not far from where Long Da was, stepping on some soft ground, and the withered and rotten fallen leaves came with the unique breath of the mountain.
"Even if you add you, the number of people is quite high" The young man suddenly had a big head, one Ronda was enough for the two of them to drink a pot, and now I don't know where such a person came out of nowhere. And the other party looked younger than himself, but he didn't feel the slightest fluctuation from Lin Chen's body at all.
He wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Lin Chen was an ordinary person, and the only reasonable explanation was that Lin Chen's strength surpassed him too much.
"Oh, is it!" Lin Chen's mouth turned up, with a hint of an intriguing smile. Gently bent down to pick up a palm-sized leaf at his feet, suddenly his eyes were cold, his arm flicked, and the originally light and fluttering leaves suddenly shot at the two teenagers like an arrow off the string.
"Brother be careful" The older boy had been wary of Lin Chen, and his reaction was faster than his younger brother at this time, and he barely reached out to push away the younger brother beside him, but his own right arm was still cut by the leaves. The red blood dripped down his arm, and the numb sensation immediately spread throughout his right arm, and after a few breaths, the young man's right arm could no longer move.
"You, I'm going to kill you!" the young man who was pushed to the ground looked up and saw that his brother had been injured, and his anger erupted uncontrollably. picked up the hunting knife in his hand and was about to rush towards Lin Chen.
"Brother, slow down!" the boy stretched out his still movable left arm and grabbed it tightly. Then he said to Lin Chen, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your mercy!"
Maybe others don't know, but he understands it very well, if Lin Chen hadn't stayed behind just now, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been as simple as cutting his arm.
"Hey, the control is still a little insufficient!" Lin Chen shook his head, secretly helpless. That just now was the basic use of some star power he had learned from the last few pages of "Returning to the Yuan Jue", and he only needed to carry the star power through foreign objects before it could be cast. Just like the leaves that were originally fluttering just now, after being wrapped by Lin Chen with star power, they could shoot out like iron arrows, and even other additional damage to ordinary people's bodies.
"Your arm will only be fine in a few hours, I can do without your token, but if you meet someone else, with your strength you will not be able to keep it after all, so let's take it out! There is also the need to tell me the current location of the group that chased you!" Lin Chen heard the other party's words, this time he came back to his senses and said lightly.
"You" The younger boy seemed to want to say something, but was stopped early by his eldest brother.
"This is a token, we are not strong, we should give it. The young man threw the token to Long Da, who came over, and then said, "The people who are chasing and killing us are a group of black-robed people, and the number of them is about ten. They are everywhere to encircle and suppress the lonely, and in addition to their various strengths, no one is their opponent yet. Before we met you, we saw them chasing them in a south-west direction."
Lin Chen nodded at Long Da, turned around and left, and the two of them disappeared in a few breaths, and the direction was the southwest.
"Big brother, why were you just now? Even if we are not other people's opponents, we can't just admit it! This is not your character!"
"What do you know, if I'm not mistaken, the young man who appeared later should be the legendary monk!" The young man glared at his younger brother, looked up at the sky obscured by the dense woods, and sighed, "I didn't expect that there would be monks participating in this Qishan Competition, maybe the competition itself is not competing for the title of hunter!"
