Chapter 19 Martial Arts Competition
Xue Tong danced the wings of the goose, stirring up the poisonous bees that followed to fly around like raindrops.
His eyes were quick, and he quickly took two steps forward, and the hemp iron stabbed quickly and steadily, and with a soft sound, pierced the last poisonous bee and hung it on the tip of the hammer.
A swarm of poisonous bees died in the blink of an eye.
"The hive should not be far from here."
A nest of poisonous bees usually has as many as 10,000 bees, and because of the large size of the poisonous bees, the hives cannot be hung on tall trees, and are often built in the cracks of cliffs.
Xue Tong observed the rock walls on both sides of the valley, a crack in the cliff in front of him, and thousands of black poisonous bees crawled all over the entrance, busy in and out, making a sound of snorting and humming.
Xue Tong used the cloud technique, and a gray cloud lifted him up.
He had been practicing the Cloud Soaring Technique for some time, and the Cloud Soaring Technique could not control the clouds to fly, but could only go straight up and down, moving a few zhang horizontally.
He rose not far from the entrance of the hive, and the frightened swarm of bees flew up, showing the ventral tail poison needle.
Xue Tong's mana gushed out, and the cold air of Bai Huahua was mixed with ice chips, quickly sealing the front, and with a flick of his long sleeves, he swept away the more than 100 poisonous bees that slipped through the net and attacked without a trace.
Ice and snow instantly poured into the exit of the hive, and a nest of poisonous bees were all sealed in the nest, Xue Tong was not in a hurry to destroy the nest, but flew to the top of the cliff to wait.
The estimated time has come, Xue Tong iron hammer chiseled the cracks, cut off the ice, nearly 10,000 poisonous bees have already frozen to death, and finally dug out dozens of catties of frozen bee pulp at the bottom of the nest.
"Bee pulp is not enough, we need to find another nest of poisonous bees."
He walked deeper and deeper into the valley, and near noon, he finally found a new nest of poisonous bees on the cliff face.
Xue Tong repeated his old tricks, freezing the hive, cleaning up the scattered poisonous bees, everything seemed to be smooth, just as he was waiting for the cliff top to be complacent, there seemed to be a strange commotion from the depths of the hive.
The ice that sealed the rift suddenly cracked, and a yellow and black poisonous bee's head came out!
"Oops, there's a big guy!" Xue Tong felt the fluctuation of mana, and the queen bee of this hive poisonous bee had evolved into a demon bee of the middle level of martial arts!
In the jurisdiction of the Yunxiao Sect, after thousands of years of looting and hunting, there are very few demon beasts, and most of the newly emerging demon beasts are at the level of martial apprentices.
The queen bee is nearly three feet long, her eyes are as big as bells, her black body has several golden markings, the hairy tentacles on the top of her head tremble slightly, her jagged jaws open and close, and the seven-inch-long black tail thorn flashes with cold light.
The terrifying and disgusting appearance of the demon bee made Xue Tong's scalp tingle, but fortunately, its coercion was not strong, and it did not make him feel oppressed.
The demon bee swooped straight ahead, ten times faster than ordinary poisonous bees, and Xue Tong swung the iron hammer and slapped it.
The second killing move of the "Tianluo Cover Top" Nine Kills, the edge of the iron hammer is woven into a big net, and under the hood, it covers a square circle of one zhang.
The demon bee flapped its wings and slapped sharply, and the seemingly thin bee wings struck on the tip of the hammer, and actually made a sound of gold and iron resonance, and the demon bee flew out obliquely, and the majestic force of the top of the sky was close to its head, and it smashed on the gravel ground.
The tail of the demon blade was thrown over, and the poisonous needle of the cold mangmang was pierced fiercely.
Xue Tong's body flickered, and he was gone, and after he went around to the side of the demon bee, his fist wrapped in a faint white smoke and lightning struck out, and Bai Lie's fist pierced through the demon bee's protective qi, hitting his flank.
The demon bee broke two of its hind legs on the spot, had a bloody hole in its abdomen, and flew out with a heavy fall.
The demon bee curled up its body, scurling around in place, the poisonous needle stabbed aimlessly and frantically, Xue Tong picked up the iron hammer, the blue light flashed, and the demon bee was nailed to the ground.
A faint black ball of light floated out of the demon bee's head, Xue Tong was not surprised, the demon beast evolved, the spirit was just opened, and the soul was maintained outside the body for different lengths according to the level, this demon bee martial artist was in the middle stage, and if the same kind of ordinary poisonous bee could not be found in the half-burnt incense, it would be completely scattered.
What was originally an ordinary thing suddenly changed dramatically in an instant.
Xue Tong's head suddenly hurt, and the gray spots of the sea of knowledge swelled sharply, flew out of the heavenly spirit, devoured the ball of light in one gulp, and drilled back again.
Xue Tong stumbled, covered his head and sat down.
The gray spot couldn't help shaking, and after a while, it calmed down, radiating a trace of coolness outward.
Xue Tong was shocked and suspicious, and the gray spots fed back, making his spiritual power level instantly break through the boundaries of the Divine Cultivation Technique.
"Absorb the spirit and strengthen yourself? Will it suck my soul away one day?"
……
Zongmen Mission.
Wei Ziqing and Xue Tongshang fought for profit, one hundred and twenty catties of bee pulp, thirty catties of demon bee syrup, demon bee body and poison needle, a total of seven points contributed by the sect, and three hundred spirit stones.
Xue Tong got three points and fifty spirit stones.
Wei Ziqing was overjoyed and patted Xue Tong on the shoulder, "It's very pleasant to cooperate with the little junior brother, I will definitely find you if I have the opportunity again." ”
Xue Tong won the first battle, with both unexpected joy, out of control, no bottom line inside and outside the task to transfer the right task, give a little benefit to do it, never bargain.
He had a bit of a begging taste, and he only received three times in two months, and he earned five contributions and a hundred spirit stones.
Fortunately, his skill in drawing talismans is increasing day by day, and the Tengyun talismans and sound transmission talismans consigned in the "Cangliu Fu Fang" can bring fifty or sixty spirit stones per month.
He remembered that he had seen a demon rat in the jade place of Xushan Mountain, and with the level of this rat in the middle stage, he would definitely be able to kill it.
Xue Tong chose a dark and windy night to come to the valley of his memory and searched repeatedly.
He only had to stare at it, and his pupils would glow with a faint golden light, making it clear what was going on in the dark night.
However, there was nothing wrong all night, and Xue Tong did not find any traces of spiders and rats.
"Could it be that the rat was frightened by my blood breath that day and fled from the jade field?"
……
The atmosphere of the Yunxiao Sect became warmer day by day, and the whole sect was filled with a restless atmosphere, and it was getting closer and closer to the triennial martial arts competition.
There is no promotion of the inner disciples, and the true disciples are promoted directly after being agreed by the top level of the sect, and Xue Tong has never heard of the existence of true disciples.
Two tall rings 20 zhang long and 15 zhang wide were set up in the middle of Chijin Peak for miscellaneous servants and outer disciples to fight and compete for the top ten.
On the day of the opening, hundreds of miscellaneous disciples flocked in, and this was the only day in Chijin Peak that was open to all miscellaneous servants once every three years.
In the stands directly north of the ring, the high-level members of the sect were in a dense row, Lei Xiao, the master of the Yanwu Hall, Duan Lingchuan, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, three elders, two Dharma protectors, and finally the deputy sect master Guan Jingchengju came to the scene in person to help the formation.
"These high-level executives are all high-spirited, and their gestures give people a sense of stability and solidity."
Xue Tong didn't sign up for the martial arts competition, it was none of his business, and his eyes wandered around the field.
100 acres of large flat, more than 1,000 people, although crowded, but not too crowded.
"Wow, it's rare to see the demeanor of the senior sisters and sisters."
The martial arts competition is a sect festival, and the female disciples are dressed up to attend, including many beautiful women with exquisite curves and flowers.
"Is Senior Sister Zhu here? And the ordinary woman I met in the Scripture Pavilion..."
In front of the outer disciples' platform, Xue Tong saw the figures of Shen Chuanpeng, Li Ruiguang and Xu Shichao, but he didn't step forward to greet him, he was more concerned about the group of miscellaneous disciples.
"Guan Hongfei, Zheng Long, Qi Jun... These people watched the game from the audience, and it seems that they also did not sign up for the meeting. ”
"Guan Hongfei!" Xue Tong approached and shouted.
"Ah, Senior Brother Xue! You are already a martial apprentice..."Guan Hongfei was very surprised, Xue Tong was promoted to the middle stage, which was greatly unexpected.
Xue Tong had no intention of showing off, and quickly diverted the topic and said, "I don't see Senior Brother Xiong, is it a competition?"
"Well, Senior Brother Xiong and Peng Tai have both registered, and I heard that Steward Hong has also reported."
"Oh, Steward Hong has also reported it, the stone yard has been peaceful recently." Xue Tong asked.
"Taiping, Taiping. Your matter is very shocking, the people in the stone field are much more honest, and Peng Tai seems to have changed as a person, and the bullying in the group has been greatly reduced, and he may feel that those things are not very interesting, so it is better to hurry up and practice. Guan Hongfei replied.
"Where's the jade field?" Xue Tongzhi saw Xia Baiyuan's thin appearance in the sea, and asked again.
"There has been no accident in the jade field, just be plain and just like that."
"Oh, by the way, has Xia Baiyuan signed up?" Xue Tong asked curiously.
"Old Xia Tou can't report his name, don't you know about him?"
Guan Hongfei saw Xue Tong shake his head and continued: "When Xia Baiyuan tried to break the level in his early years, the law sea cracked, and he almost lost his life, and he has been relying on medicine for thirty years to maintain it, and his hard-earned contribution points have all been replaced with elixirs to replenish the spirit."
"That's it!" Xue Tong sighed.
"I heard that he has been recuperating Fahai for thirty years, and he is gradually showing signs of improvement, and he has the opportunity to refine to the middle and late stages, but there is no need to count on the day after tomorrow in this life."
According to the rules of the Yunxiao Sect, a disciple needs to take a special pill if he is injured, and if there is no spirit stone to pay, a certain amount of the sect's contribution will be deducted.
The two were talking happily, but were interrupted by Lei Xiao's bell-like voice, and Lei Xiao announced that thirty-four people from the outer disciples had signed up for the martial arts competition, and seventy-three people from the miscellaneous servants.
"The lottery ceremony has begun!" Lei Xiao said loudly.
The martial arts competition adopts the most common rules of the Xuanmen.
For example, 34 outer disciples draw lots, catch and test, the winner enters the winner's group, and the loser enters the loser's group;
Seventeen people in the winner's group competed in one round, and eight more winners entered the top ten;
The same goes for the loser group, and the loser goes to the loser group;
The rest are those who win one round or have a bye and are included in the waiting group;
The ten positions on the stage, except for the eight who won both battles, will be drawn by lot in the waiting group, and two people will be selected to fill the remaining positions, and the following rules will be implemented thereafter:
Each person in the losing group has one chance, and can nominate anyone on the challenge stage, and if he wins, he will sit in the chair, and if he fails, he will lose completely;
Candidates have two chances to challenge;
Those who are defeated by the challenger and step down will automatically get a chance to challenge.
As for the group of miscellaneous servants, there are too many applicants, more than one round, and the three losers are eliminated, and then the situation is similar.
Xue Tong does not participate in martial arts competitions, and he is not familiar with the rules, so he inevitably discuss: "Wouldn't it be endless to challenge so repeatedly?"
"No, after trying once or twice, everyone knows the bottom of their hearts, the rules of the martial arts competition are relaxed, weapons and hidden weapons are used, and the weak dare not rush to the stage, and it is not a ranking competition, and the ten people selected are not in any order, and the number of challenges is becoming less and less." Guan Hongfei explained.
"You can stop at any time in the competition, and you can't admit defeat. An acquirer-level warrior on each side of the ring watches the battle and serves as the referee, deciding whether the winner has violated the law in the event of casualties. Guan Hongfei added.
