Just when the battle between Qi Wanli and the mutant Thousand Pupil Ape was about to break out, on the top of the mountain, there was a lot of singing and laughter.

I don't know when, there are a number of musicians in the square, who cooperate with the tense and exciting battle scenes in the half-air bubbles, playing passionate music, and setting off the atmosphere for the nobles watching the "live broadcast".

Li Chengkong patted the chair beside him and said to Li carefully: "You don't have to stand all the time, come, sit down, and help the master peel the shrimp for me." ”

Li carefully hummed, sat down obediently, and began to peel shrimp for Li Chengkong.

"Master, the perspective of Master Wanli has not appeared. She lowered her voice and whispered.

Li Chengkong smiled, there was no surprise on his face, and said: "He has too many secrets, and if he wants to win the game, he has to use some shady means." ”

"But, how can he even shield your talisman from Master?" asked Li cautiously and curiously.

Li Chengkong took the white tender shrimp meat that Li carefully handed over, dipped it in some soy sauce, and threw it into his mouth.

"He can convince your master that I will help him with the power of the entire Hanging Pavilion, and what is it to block a small talisman?" he sighed.

"That is, Master Wanli is the most powerful. Li said triumphantly.

Li Chengkong shook his head and asked, "You admire him very much?"

"Yes. Li Xiao said as a matter of course: "However, although Master Wanli is the most powerful, the master is invincible!"

"Hehe, your mouth is the sweetest. Li Chengkong said happily: "However, your vision is indeed good, in the entire Hanging Pavilion, you were the first to discover his value, and Lin Xue did a good job." ”

After receiving the master's praise, Li carefully shook his head happily, and the action of peeling the shrimp became more gentle.

At this moment, the emperor at the main table opened his mouth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we might as well have a gamble?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed an expression of "sure enough" and agreed with it.

"Hehe, our saint just likes to bet two. Li Chengkong smiled, stood up, walked slowly to the table of the emperor and queen, and asked, "Holy Lord, do you need my help?"

"Of course!" the high-spirited emperor waved his hand and said, "Please ask the national teacher to list the current scores of the players, okay?"

"No problem. ”

Li Chengkong flicked his fingers at the bubble, and saw that in the air next to the bubble, there seemed to be a blue pen that began to sketch, quickly writing down the names of each family, as well as the points they currently have, and those points are still beating at a fast speed.

"Your Majesty, do you want to bet on whose score will be the highest in the end?"

At this time, a middle-aged man sitting below asked with a smile.

The Emperor shook his head with a smile, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Isn't that too boring? ”

From the princes and nobles looked at each other.

"Empress, what do you think I want to gamble on?" the emperor took Yan Zhiyun's hand and asked softly.

Yan Zhiyun smiled lightly and said, "The concubine thinks that the emperor wants to see who can kill the most powerful sixth-order monster." ”

"Not bad, kind of interesting. The emperor said happily: "This sixth-order monster was personally captured by the northern general Luo Lian, and its strength is extraordinary, even if it is three or five fifth-order masters, it may not be able to kill it, I think this can be a gamble!"

The nobles in the lower seat nodded one after another, it turned out that they wanted to play this!

A slightly younger nobleman stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can make a bet that anyone in this hunt will be killed by monsters?"

"Oh?" the emperor's eyes lit up and asked, "Marquis Anping, do you think someone will be killed by monsters this time?"

The young man known as Anping Hou bowed slightly and replied, "As the emperor said, this sixth-order monster may not even be able to be won by three or five fifth-order masters joining forces, what if there is one, or one or two daring contestants who try to run and hunt that monster by themselves?"

"Even if they have the rune paper left by the national teacher that can save their lives once, as long as they don't have time to escape, the rune paper can protect them once, but it can't protect them twice or three times. ”

"Makes sense. The emperor touched his chin, and there was an interested look in his eyes: "This is also a little interesting!"

At this time, another middle-aged man who was sitting a little closer to the emperor stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since you want to gamble on excitement, you should be bolder. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Let's just gamble, how many people will die this time?"

When the emperor heard this, there was a hesitant look in his eyes: "King Yunlin, this doesn't seem to be inappropriate, right?"

The prince who was called the King of Yunlin did not change his face, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the martial arts of my Shuo Dynasty are well known, and the Royal Hunting Contest is to select the best and best extraordinary talents for the country, but it should always be meaningful for them to participate in the competition and fight with the murderous monsters, right? ”

"This king thinks, let's bet on how many people they will die, if the bet wins, all the money will be donated to the soldiers on the front line, what does the emperor think?"

"Huh?" When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up again.

"King Yunlin's proposal seems to be a bit interesting. He squinted and thought about it seriously.

At this time, Yan Zhiyun, who was sitting next to him, opened her mouth.

"Your Majesty, the concubines think that if you want to have a good time, you have to gamble more than just money. She glanced at King Yunlin, and there was a fierce look hidden in her gentle eyes: "The one who loses will also go and fight the monster himself, how about it?"

King Yunlin was stunned for a moment, and a slight gloom appeared on his face.

"What?" the emperor was surprised: "How could the queen make such a suggestion? If I lose, won't I have to fight the monster?"

Yan Zhiyun covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, how can you participate in this kind of gambling game." The concubines thought that the emperor should open a separate game with the concubines and bet on who would win and who would lose among the princes. ”

"Hey, the Empress is right!" the Emperor rejoiced: "How can I gamble with you?

"Okay, listen to me, everyone now come to bet on how many people will die today, and the money won by the winner will be donated to the front-line sergeants, and the loser, I will personally arrange a monster to fight it!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present turned a little dark.

"What are you afraid of!"

Seeing that their faces were not good, the emperor frowned and slapped the table: "You are all extraordinary, the most powerful ones are all fifth-order, and you are still afraid that monsters will not succeed?" King Yunlin said it well just now, what is the most admired thing in our Shuo Dynasty? It is the strong! I don't even dare to fight monsters, what kind of excitement do you play?"

The emperor was not happy, no matter how noble the princes and nobles were, they could only bow their heads and should be.

"Okay, National Teacher, what's going on now?" After relieving his breath, the emperor turned back to Li Chengkong.

Li Chengkong maintained an indifferent and soft smile, pointed to the bubbles, and said, "Everyone, please take a look." ”

......

In the forest, Bao Youwei and Wang Lu joined forces and killed dozens of second-order monsters in the blink of an eye, but soon, they fell into embarrassment.

I can't find the monster anymore.

At first, when they found at least fifty ghost snakes, they did not hesitate to pounce and kill them all at once, but after they searched for a full twenty minutes, they did not see a single monster again.

"Oh no, bad luck!" Bao Youwei was a little anxious.

Wang Lu calmed down a little, she frowned and said: "There are two possibilities, one is that the nearby monsters have been killed by people with fast hands, and the second is that the distribution of monsters in this area is very sparse...... Don't panic, keep searching, we're aiming to find the monster group now, don't care how many levels of monsters it is, you use plants to find it, I'll fly farther. ”

"Okay!" Bao Youwei nodded.

Another ten minutes passed.

Bao Youwei stretched out his hand from the grass and looked up at the king deer falling from the sky.

"How?" he asked.

Wang Lu shook his head: "It's strange, there really are no monsters." ”

Bao Youwei said helplessly: "It seems that we are completely in the wrong direction, and we can only go to the other side of the mountain, but when we get there, will we still have time to rob monsters with others?"

"That can't be helped. Wang Lu said, "I can only hope that Dean Bai can really kill that sixth-order monster, so that our scores will still be competitive." ”

"That's all there is to it. ”

Bao Youwei sighed.

......

"Strange, why are there so few monsters nearby?"

They didn't know that in other places, many contestants had raised such questions.

Many people only kill a dozen monsters, and then find that there are no monsters around.

But they have no way of knowing other people's scores, and even if they meet other transcendents along the way, they don't exchange information with each other, and they are all desperately looking for monsters that have not yet been discovered.

And in some inconspicuous corner of the mountain, there was a roar and a roar.

This is a very inconspicuous corner of the valley, but here, there are actually seven or eight groups of monsters hoarded, they are separated by one formation after another, ranging from the second order to the fifth order, all of them can be found. What's more, they are located where the sun doesn't shine at all.

In addition, in the valley where they are located, there is also a cold pool.

In the scorching summer, the cold air continued to emerge, and the temperature around the pool dropped by more than ten degrees, and the temperature of the whole valley was at least five or six degrees lower than that outside the valley under the influence of this pool.

In this environment that is very suitable for monsters, these monsters are not very noisy, they either lie on the ground for a while, or occasionally get up and walk around.

As you can imagine, as the contestants have roughly searched the surface of the forest, they will gradually discover this valley, and then they will gather together to snatch these energetic monsters.

What will be the situation then?
