Chapter 6: Autumn Hunting
Lin Xuan saw that everyone had arrived, so he stopped greeting, and then nodded to a middle-aged man beside him.
The middle-aged man bowed slightly, walked in front of everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has a decree, this year's autumn hunt will be presided over by my general Li Geng." According to the usual practice, the time is a stick of incense, and the ranking is comprehensively determined by the grade and number of spirit beasts hunted by the princes. ”
"In addition, this year's autumn hunt is different from the past, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere, but it is a fair competition between the princes. In order to prevent fraud among the princes, and to ensure the safety of the princes, the emperor specially asked me to arrange for several martial artists to spy on me. ”
"Finally, I wish all the princes good results, and I announce below: the autumn hunt has officially begun!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Geng put a stick of incense on the ground and retreated behind Lin Xuan.
Lin Tian and Li Geng nodded slightly, and then they were the first to play, only to see him riding a horse and galloping towards the depths of the dense forest.
With Lin Tian's departure, several princes also stepped on their horses one after another and left everyone's sight.
"I actually sent a general to preside over it, and I also sent a martial artist to monitor us, it seems that my father really attaches great importance to this autumn hunt. Lin Feng secretly muttered a few words in his heart, then he also got on his horse and aimed at the depths of the dense forest.
Looking at the disappearing backs of several princes, Lin Xuan smiled at Queen Shu and said, "Queen, who do you think will be able to determine the first in this autumn hunt?"
Queen Shu gently glanced at the direction Lin Tianna left, and said with a smile: "I am Tian'er's mother, the emperor asked me so, of course I will say that Tian'er can get the first, but in this way, the emperor will not be angry, right?"
"The queen is too worried, you are right to think so, after all, among them, Tian'er has the most outstanding qualifications. Lin Xuan stroked his beard, revealing a hint of relief.
......
"Drive, drive. ”
As the horses kept galloping through the dense forest, Lin Feng soon came to a place that he was more familiar with before.
"Wow!"
A voice came from not far away, and Lin Feng was overjoyed, so he galloped in that direction on his horse.
Because of the fairness of the autumn hunt, they were arranged with the same horses, although the horses' hooves would cause a lot of movement on the earth, but in this way they could test the level of the princes.
"Whoa!"
As the sound got closer, a black figure kept flashing through the grass.
Lin Feng took out the spirit bow and attributed the soul power to the bowstring. aimed at the figure, but it didn't shoot for a long time.
The figure was so fast that he didn't have time to blink before it disappeared from his sight.
"Hey, I look confident. ”
Lin Feng shook his head and put down the bow in his hand.
Suddenly, there was a noise from his side.
Before he could react, a yellow figure leaped out from the depths of the dense forest.
Lin Feng's originally surprised face suddenly became extremely serious, because he found that the strength of this spirit beast was very strong, and it was not something he could deal with now.
"Whew!"
Without waiting for Lin Feng to react, the figure suddenly jumped again and rushed towards him.
Lin Feng hurriedly controlled the horse to turn around, but it was too late, and the figure still pounced on his back with one claw, leaving a deep scar on his back.
He fell off his horse and fell heavily to the ground. The horse let out a mournful sound in fright and fled into the distance.
"Hey, don't go, what should I do if you're gone?"
Lin Feng looked at the disappearing figure of the horse, his eyes were full of despair, and then he turned his gaze to the side, only to realize that the figure was actually a second-order spirit beast Mang Tiger Beast.
At this time, the tiger beast was baring its teeth at him, and from time to time it let out a roar of "roar".
Saliva kept flowing from the tiger's mouth, and it was obvious that he was already hungry.
Lin Feng touched the wound on his back, his heart was cold, and suddenly a cold sweat soaked his clothes, and he swallowed his saliva.
"If you fight, you'll die anyway. ”
He took out his bow and aimed it at the Tiger Beast, using his soul power to the extreme, shooting at it.
The Reckless Tiger Beast is equivalent to the second realm of human martial artists, the Spirit Sea Realm. And Lin Feng was only in the Void Soul Realm now, and he was obviously not its opponent at all, so at this time, he would fight hard. If you want to blame him, his luck is too bad, as soon as he came here, he encountered a second-order spirit beast.
Although it was said that there were martial artists protecting them, Lin Feng would not open his mouth to ask for help unless it was a last resort.
Because by that time, it means that he has been eliminated.
"Whew!"
The arrow made a loud sound, and Lin Feng closed his eyes tightly.
"Plop!"
A voice sounded in his ears, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and said in surprise: "I'm not dead?"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked ahead.
"How is this possible?"
This reckless tiger beast is actually dead!
Lin Feng's mouth opened wide in surprise, and then he walked to the front of the Reckless Tiger Beast and took out its spirit crystal.
"Great, I harvested the spirit crystal of a second-order spirit beast at the beginning, I won't count down now!"
Lin Feng looked at the spirit crystal in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
A little above the tree in the distance, at this moment, a figure was looking at him affectionately.
The figure was dressed in black and was very petite. If it weren't for a man's outfit, looking at this figure, it would be easy for people to mistake it for a woman.
......
On the other side of the dense forest, the second prince Lin Zhen was chasing a second-order spirit beast chasing the wind wolf at the moment.
"Haha, this prince is lucky, he just met a second-order spirit beast when he came. ”
Lin Zhen rode on horseback, looking at the wind chasing wolf in front of him who was already injured and running in a panic, and smiled.
Speaking of which, his luck was really good, this wind chasing wolf could not have caught up with his speed, but he shot an arrow indiscriminately, just hit its leg, and it gave him a chance.
He looked at the wind chasing wolf that was getting closer and closer to him, and couldn't wait to take out a bow, pull the bowstring full, and shoot at it.
"Whew!"
The bowstring flew away like lightning, this blow was blessed with his spiritual power, and his bow was also a spiritual weapon, and he was very confident in this blow.
Gradually, however, the smile on his face faded away, as he realized that his arrow had been shot crooked.
"This can't be? How can this be?"
Lin Zhenqi trembled, looked at the spirit beast that disappeared in front of him, and shouted.
......
On a tree in the dense forest, there were two figures standing at this time, one of them was burly and tall, full of arrogance. One person is petite and delicate, dressed in black.
"Sister, you're too partial, aren't you! ”
Lin Tian looked at the black-clothed "young man" in front of him and said.
"Eccentric, hurry up and complete your father's task! Half of the time has passed, you go and stop the other princes, I am responsible for luring the spirit beasts over, but don't do too much, remember to leave a little for your younger brothers." The young man in black said.
"Don't worry, the martial artists sent by the autumn hunt to monitor this time are all your own people, so you can rest assured. After Lin Tian finished speaking, his figure flashed and left the tree.
The black-clothed young man looked at Lin Tian's back, and then immediately ran in Lin Feng's direction.
......
In the next autumn hunt, Lin Feng could be said to have laughed out loud. I wonder if it's the reason why he had particularly good luck today?
He could always encounter some injured second-order spirit beasts one after another, and the result was, of course, to be killed by him and obtain spirit crystals. Now in his hand, there were four second-order soul crystals alone, and there were also six first-order spirit beast soul crystals.
Compared to Lin Feng's good luck, several princes can be said to be unlucky, they don't seem to be able to shoot accurately today, and let the spirit beasts run away one after another, so this autumn hunt can be described as miserable.
And just as everyone was tirelessly searching for and killing the spirit beast, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sky, and everyone raised their heads and headed towards the periphery of the dense forest.
......
Outside the dense forest, next to the lake.
Looking at the figures that had returned, Lin Xuan was a little puzzled, "Why are these princes of his, all of them looking embarrassed today?" In previous years, they were not like this.
Could it be that Lin Tian's kid robbed their spirit beast, so he could only think of this one reason.
After about a cup of tea, the princes had already returned to their seats.
Looking at everyone's dejected appearance, Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter? A few younger brothers? How many spirit beasts have you been robbed of by Lin Tian's guy this year? ”
Because Lin Ran is ranked second, except for Lin Tian, she is the oldest.
"Sister, I didn't rob their spirit beasts. I've also gained a lot this year. Without waiting for several princes to answer, Lin Tian's voice came from behind.
"Really, that's weird?" Lin Ran blinked his big watery eyes.
When several princes heard that Lin Tian had also gained a lot, their depressed faces suddenly became a little more curious, because Lin Tian's strength was obvious to all, if even he had only gained this, then their achievements would have been in the past.
"Huh, why hasn't Lin Feng appeared for so long, he won't be eaten by spirit beasts, right?"
At this moment, Lin Ran saw that he hadn't seen Lin Feng's figure for a long time, and wondered.
The voice came into Lin Xuan's ears, making his face a little ugly, but he knew Lin Feng's strength. After not appearing for so long, is there really an accident?
Just when he was about to send someone out to look for it, Lin Feng slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
Along with Lin Feng, there were also a few martial artists who were exuding aura fluctuations all over their bodies, and it was obvious that they had been silently protecting them just now.
Seeing Lin Feng and the martial artist walking together, everyone showed disdain, and it seemed that this guy was probably eliminated.
Sensing that everyone seemed to be waiting for him, Lin Feng was a little embarrassed to come to Lin Xuan.
"Father. ”
"Well, it's good to come back safely, even if it's eliminated, it doesn't matter. ”
Lin Xuan patted Lin Feng's shoulder, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he still showed a comforting smile.
"Father, I just got lost and bothered a few teachers. Lin Feng wiped his nose in embarrassment.
"Oh, is it?, then let my father see how you have achieved this battle?" Lin Xuan's eyes showed curiosity, and he stared at Lin Feng with some incredulity.
"Yes, Father. ”
Lin Feng arched his hand and took out the ten spirit crystals from the storage ring.
"This, this..."
Lin Xuan's jaw almost dropped in surprise.
"This guy, how is that possible? He must be cheating. ”
Among the princes, except for Lin Tian, they didn't believe that this was Lin Feng's achievement with his own strength.
Lin Tian and Lin Ran, on the other hand, were relatively calm.
Queen Shu and Li Geng knew the truth of the matter, but they didn't react too much.
However, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Queen Shu still chimed in: "Your Majesty, I think that Lin Feng's kid has gained so many spirit crystals, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion." It's better to ask the pre-arranged martial artist, and the truth will be revealed. ”
"Queen, you have a point. ”
"Zhou Mu, what kind of situation can you talk about. ”
Lin Xuan looked at the leading martial artist behind Lin Feng.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have been taking care of several highnesses under the orders of Your Majesty, and they dare not neglect in the slightest. The performance of the Five Highnesses this time was also greatly beyond our expectations. ”
"The Fifth Highness was able to harvest so many spirit crystals, not just because of luck. The most important thing is that because he controls a spirit bow with the power of his soul, he can hunt spirit beasts repeatedly. ”
When the words fell, the three princes and Lin Ran except Lin Tian all looked at Lin Feng incredulously, and they all secretly said in their hearts: "This kid turned out to be hiding a hand, but it was just luck." ”
Lin Feng glanced at Lin Tianxuan, and saw that his face showed a rare calmness, and he didn't know if he was really convinced or fake? But without waiting for him to think about it again, Lin Xuan said slowly.
"Oh, Feng'er, you are really a surprise to me! I really didn't expect you to be proficient in soul power?"
Lin Xuan patted Lin Feng's shoulder, and even the eyes that looked at him became kinder.
"Father Miao, I have just stepped into the Hidden Soul Realm. ”
Lin Feng lowered his head, a little embarrassed.
"Although you have just stepped into the spirit master, you still impressed my father this time. Rest assured, after this autumn hunt is over. Father will reward you greatly. ”
"You all take out the results!"
Lin Xuan looked at the princes and pointed to a wooden table in front of him.
Soon, Li Geng announced that Lin Feng won the first place comprehensively according to everyone's results.
After that, Lin Tianwei was second, followed by several princes.
"Feng'er, you come to me when you go back to the palace later, I have something to say to you. Lin Xuan turned his back to his body, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice.
