"I'll go, Boss Wanli, you really promoted to Fu Ling?!"

On the fifth day of the retreat, without waiting for Pan Darong to call, Qi Wanli pushed open the door and walked out.

Others may not be able to feel it, but Pan Darong, who is also in the realm of runes, can clearly sense the traces of the spells left on Qi Wanli's body, which are the spells he left on his body for a day and a night.

"It's just a quick one, and it's still a lot worse than yours in this regard. Qi Wanli said truthfully: "In terms of proficiency, you are much stronger than me." ”

"You're already the most powerful and perverted person I've ever met. Pan Darong shook his head and said: "No wonder you were defenseless in front of me when you were in the snow before, but you were able to beat me a few months later, I understand." By the way, how long have you been cultivating?"

"How long have I been cultivating?"

Qi Wanli smiled and said: "I still don't say it, I'm afraid that if you say it, you will really collapse your three views." ”

Seeing Pan Darong squeezing his eyebrows and looking in disbelief, he shook his head helplessly: "Okay, don't be poor with you, the royal hunting competition is going to start today, that uncle of the small country, did you send anything?"

"I sent someone three days ago. ”

Pan Darong pursed his lips, took out a thin iron token, threw it on the table, and said, "The hunting ground is twenty miles northeast of the city, just take the token before noon." ”

"Okay. Qi Wanli picked up the token and said to Pan Darong: "You take advantage of me to go to the game, go around the city by yourself, familiarize yourself with the terrain and everything, and keep more back, in case, I mean in case, I can't convince the queen, she chooses to come hard, with the current power of the Yan family, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of the capital." ”

This is the result of his focus on improving his wisdom when he entered the realm of runes.

If it were the same as before, after making his own plans, he would have approached the next thing with a fairly confident state, and would not be cautious about leaving behind.

Twenty miles northeast of the city, not very far, Qi Wanli put on a mask and went out of the hotel, bought a horse, and left.

......

The royal hunting ground is not far from the capital, in a mountain forest surrounded by the Lei clan, or rather, this mountain forest.

The current Shuo Dynasty, except for the bones of the north and the sea bordering Xichuan Province, has basically not seen monsters, and many ordinary people who live deep in the interior have lived for twenty or thirty years and have never seen what monsters look like, but after all, the Lei Dynasty is a world that can be fought with real swords and guns, and among the children of the royal family, the style of martial arts is still popular.

There was a time when Fan Jianxue was serving in Jinyi Weizhong, she was the dream lover of countless princes and grandsons of the capital, powerful and beautiful.

These noble royal children who have never been able to really carry a knife and jump over the high walls of the bones of the northern realm to fight monsters to the death in their lives come to this royal hunting ground on weekdays to kill a few weak monsters and have a good time.

Of course, the royal hunting ground is not open at any time, generally only in spring and summer, when this monster is relatively weak, it will be open to noble "hunters".

After all, wouldn't it be a great deal if the monsters that these soldiers captured from the high walls at the cost of their lives in the autumn and winter were to mutate and hurt the hunters?

"So, how big is this forest?" asked one of the contestants.

The passer-by smiled and said, "A radius of about one hundred and fifty miles." ”

"It's big, enough to cram in quite a few monsters. Qi Wanli, who was listening from the side, had a flash in his eyes.

More than an hour earlier, he had driven his horse outside the hunting ground when he was stopped by the Royal Guards. After showing his token, he was taken to the rest area on the outskirts of the hunting ground, where he met many of the same competitors, two of whom were also members of the Yan family, just like him.

One of them was named Bao Youwei, a tall and thin man about forty years old, a fourth-order mid-stage life dependent, and the other was named Wang Lu, a woman, thirty-five or sixteen years old, a fourth-order early stage sky walker.

When they knew that Qi Wanli was "Bai Xiaoyao", the two became much warmer.

"It turns out that you are Dean Bai, and you have heard of it for a long time!" Bao Youwei said loudly: "I have read an excerpt from the "Vajra Reconstruction Technique" in the Temple of Life, it is really exquisite!

Wang Lu smiled softly: "The sword technique that Dean Bai has researched has long been a compulsory spell for our Sky Walkers, and now there are many more Sky Walkers who buy swords than martial artists. ”

Soon, the three chatted together, and Qi Wanli also learned their identities.

Bao Youwei is a descendant of a down-and-out aristocracy, he has been cultivating since he was a child, and this time he has to rely on several layers of relationships to participate in the hunting competition as a guest of the Yan family, just to be able to revive the prosperity of the family.

As for Wang Lu, she is not a master raised by the Yan family, but a former peripheral disciple of Xingchenlou, who wants to take this opportunity to enter the eyes of the upper class people of the Shuo Dynasty and marry a good family.

"I'm not young anymore, only if I have good results in this area can I enter a wealthy family!" she said.

In the process of chatting with them, Qi Wanli also knew what kind of people were in this hunting competition, and the participants and beneficiaries were.

The first layer, the organizers. The organizer of the Royal Hunt Tournament is, of course, the grandson of the current emperor and the eldest grandson of the founding emperor. He and the princes and wealthy families at the top of the Shuo Dynasty are all a generation that has never experienced a battle with monsters, but the Shuo Dynasty is extremely martial, so he naturally wants to organize this kind of hunting competition to carry forward the national style.

The second layer is the wealthy family. In fact, in this royal hunt, those real royal nobles will not come to participate at all, because there are quite dangerous monsters, which will really kill people. The contestants this time are all doormen of wealthy families, or rather, temporarily recruited thugs. These people don't feel distressed when they die, and they will send various benefits to these families in order to compete for a place, and once they win, the honor of the real big head will also go to the family.

The third layer is the contestants. Almost all of these people gathered from all over the country to compete for a knighthood or a future.

"Dean Bai, I heard that a vice president of your academy can fight against a sixth-order primary-level Xuanjia master, then you must be stronger!" Wang Lu said excitedly: "Maybe, we can challenge that strongest sixth-order monster!"

Qi Wanli asked curiously: "This hunting competition, can teams participate?"

"We are all nominally guests of the Yan family, of course we are together. Bao Youwei said: "This competition is based on the family unit, each family can choose three people, and the three of us are the face of the Yan family this time." ”

"I see. ”

Qi Wanli secretly thought: "In this way, even if you get excellent results and are received by the queen, you will inevitably have to bring these two people." It seems that we have to find a way to eliminate them in the course of the game in a way that does not hurt their lives. ”

Soon after, the leader came to the rest area, led a group of contestants, and walked along a specific mountain path to the top of the mountain, and made introductions along the way.

"This mountain road is a forbidden area for you for a while, and once you step into it, it means you are disqualified. The leader said: "This mountain road has an invisible formation laid by our national teacher, and humans can enter and exit at will, but monsters can't approach at all, so this mountain road is completely isolated from monsters." ”

"For you contestants, no matter if you get lost or want to play any tricks, as long as you step into this mountain path, we will assume that you can no longer fight monsters and choose to retreat. ”

"Of course, for those who really can't fight monsters anymore, if they are near the mountain road, they can also choose to come here to hide. ”

At this time, a curious contestant asked: "But this mountain road is so long, we walked for two quarters of an hour without seeing any guards, sneaking in and hiding, how can anyone know?"

The passer-by smiled dryly: "You'll know in a moment." ”

Qi Wanli walked up with the crowd, and when he heard this conversation, he smiled secretly in his heart.

If there was a magic circle laid by Li Chengkong on this mountain road, how could it be impossible to sense that someone had broken in?

As we got closer to the top of the mountain, the Imperial Forest Army guarding the mountain path gradually appeared.

"By the way, you remember!" the leader said solemnly, "The emperor and the queen will be there for a while, although the place where you will stay for a while is far away from the dragon, but you must also maintain the etiquette! Do not make noise or laugh ......"

The passer-by began to talk about the rules, and when Qi Wanli heard this, he was not interested.

He was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze in the new era, and he resisted the decadent etiquette of the feudal imperial system from the heart.

"However, it can also be understood that in this chaotic world, only a high degree of centralization can fight monsters with sufficient efficiency, and can build the Western Continent into such a steel plate that monsters can't penetrate at all. As casual as the Martial God Temple's domination of the Southern Continent, it is no wonder that there are few cities in the entire Southern Continent. ”

"However, catch monsters from the north to the vicinity of the capital, surround them in the mountains, and give them hunting?"

Thinking of this, Qi Wanli still shook his head secretly.

"The people of the Southern Continent, even in the summer, have to fight against the powerful monsters that may appear at any time, and in the autumn and winter, they are on the verge of life and death at any time, even in big cities, they have to face the siege of monsters all the time. And here, they actually keep monsters in captivity, but only for fun, or to show off their strength?"

"If this continues, the Shuo Dynasty may gradually become corrupt and degenerate, just like the inflated and arrogant feudal dynasties that have appeared in history. The existence of monsters is probably much more complicated than they imagined......"

He thought of the Burning Sea Flying Whale, of the black-robed monster, and of the strange laboratory hidden underground.

"How many such laboratories are there in the world?"
