Zhou Ming and the others raised their arms and shouted in the arena, leading the first-year hunters in the arena to shout the name of the World Tree together, and after a while, Zhou Ming, Luo Fulei, and Long Xiaocheng bowed to all sides in the middle of the ring, and then left the arena, and the game continued.

"Zhou Ming, you guys are amazing!" As soon as he left, Bai Hexiang and a few people surrounded him excitedly, and excitedly described to Zhou Ming everything they saw in the audience, from Zhou Ming and the others' skills to the excitement of the new students around them in the end, Zhou Ming was also in the mood at this time, and chatting with a few people was also in full swing.

"Hong Menglong, you really accepted a good apprentice. "On the viewing platform of the teachers and college leaders, the dean of the Hunter Branch of the Star Pole Royal Academy, the white-bearded old man who had cheated Zhou Ming with 10,000 contribution cards, was chatting with Hong Menglong.

"What, you're also interested in accepting apprentices?" Hong Menglong glanced at the old man proudly, "But to be honest, you're so old, it's time to take an apprentice to inherit your mantle." ”

"How can this apprentice of mine be so easy to find...... the old man sighed, "You know that my fighting style is completely different from yours, otherwise I wouldn't have been assessed as a high-ranking hunter without surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, but the requirements for exercises like mine are so strange, where can I go to find a hunter who doesn't use weapons?"

"Alas, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read......" Hong Menglong and the old man stopped chatting and continued to look at the ring.

"Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming and the others had just returned to their positions, and before the people who congratulated and congratulated them came, Lei Gang had already strode over, "Congratulations, you have performed so well, it seems that the rise of the World Tree Hunting Group is promising." ”

"Where, it's just a low-ranking fierce beast, how can it be compared to the heroic appearance of the red-haired adult when you hunted the high-ranking fierce beast?" Zhou Ming directly began to play haha, it is not a good thing for Lei Gang to come here to be courteous, and there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"Haha, where, but speaking of which, Captain Zhou Ming, Shi Ningsheng's little rabbit cub hasn't made things difficult for you recently, right?" Sure enough, Lei Gang began to guide the topic in the direction of Shi Ningsheng and the Demon Soul Mercenary Group.

"Maybe I'm busy preparing for the Hundred Regiments Competition, the Demon Soul Mercenary Group has been very quiet recently. Lei Gang's title to Zhou Ming has risen to the level of "Zhou Ming's Leader", which shows that in his heart, Zhou Ming and the World Tree have been promoted from a subordinate hunting group under him to an ally, of course, this also reflects from the side that Rashomon's recent situation is really bad, so that they even tried their best to win over the World Tree Hunting Group, which did not even have a high-ranking hunter, and in the past, this was categorically impossible.

"That's right, I've heard that the Demon Soul and his subordinate mercenary group are preparing to start an all-out war to unify all hunters and mercenary groups. Lei Gang approached Zhou Ming, lowered his voice and said to Zhou Ming, "I have united several guilds to discuss the matter of the counterattack, is Captain Zhou Ming interested in participating?"

"Fighting, killing, and killing should be your mercenaries' business, why should we participate in a small hunting group?" Zhou Ming broke through the loophole in Lei Gang's language, "The last time we fought with the mercenaries of the Demon Soul Mercenary Group, it was because they were ready to level our hunting group, and we didn't have a mercenary group in the World Tree, so we could only defend ourselves with knives, but if you want us to go to the front line, then Lord Lei Gang, you are looking for the wrong person, we are just a group of hunters." ”

"This, cough, that's the case, Captain Zhou Ming should also know that the demon soul has been strong recently, and many hunting groups and mercenary groups have been co-opted by them, and they don't dare to rashly go against the demon soul if they haven't been co-opted...... So we need to woo all the guilds that might be allies as much as possible. Lei Gang's face flushed, he thought that Zhou Ming, this hairy boy, would be very easy to fool, as long as Shi Ningsheng was mentioned, he would be carried away by anger, but he didn't expect that Zhou Ming, who had only been the head of the hunting group for a few months, was already so shrewd, and the words he prepared were directly useless.

"What is the difference in strength between the two sides?" Zhou Ming still ignored Lei Gang's evasion, in fact, to be honest, the contradiction between Zhou Ming and Shi Ningsheng was irreconcilable, he must join forces with Lei Gang to fight against the Demon Soul Mercenary Group, his current problem is just to know himself and his opponent.

"They are twice as many as us. Regang scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Only double?" Zhou Ming pressed step by step.

"Ahem, okay, anyway, before you reach the next five-star, the World Tree is all Rashomon's subordinate hunting group, and it's nothing to tell you, the Demon Soul Mercenary Group and its subordinate mercenary group, the total number of people is almost three times that of us. Lei Gang lowered his head and said with some frustration, he never expected Shi Ningsheng's operational ability to be so strong, from that time when the demon soul suddenly attacked Rashomon, to quickly woo other guilds to strengthen his own strength, every step of the demon soul walked in front of Rashomon so that the snowball was getting bigger and bigger, until Shi Ningsheng leaked fangs at this conference, Lei just now suddenly realized that the strength gap between the two sides had been opened to such a point, so he would hurry to find Zhou Ming, this is the most stable ally he can think of, and Zhou Ming has just performed well in the Hundred Group Competition, and he will definitely become a good hunting group in the next hunting group recruitment, it can be said that it is a very wise decision to win over the World Tree as an ally.

"Then we have to make a fuss about this winter recruitment. Zhou Ming said, "Shi Ningsheng has already been in the limelight in the previous individual competition, and he is a mercenary himself, so it is obviously easier to attract other mercenaries to join the Demon Soul, but it is the hunter who is easier for us to woo, so if you consider the combat power, I am afraid that the gap between the two sides will widen after this winter recruitment." ”

"We need to find a way to give the Demon Soul a punch before recruiting new people in the winter, so that the mercenaries can see that following us is more promising than following the Demon Soul. "Zhou Ming has already grasped the initiative in the conversation, and now, Lei Gang is bowing his head and pondering, analyzing the possibility of fighting the demon soul in Zhou Ming's words, Zhou Ming saw this and continued," Lord Reigan, at least for now, the World Tree is still just a subordinate hunting group of Rashomon, so it stands to reason that we will all stand on your side to fight against the demon soul, so we will join your alliance, however, please also make it clear that we are just a hunting group, if you want my companions to go to the battlefield to fight the mercenaries, then you should break this thought. ”

Zhou Ming is unwilling to let the hunter companions who follow him get involved in an unprovoked war, the last time in the defensive battle of the hunting hut, he saw with his own eyes the serious injuries of Long Xiaocheng and Luo Fulei, he absolutely did not allow it, these partners who followed him were sent to the front line by Lei Gang to act as cannon fodder, they came to the Star Pole Royal Academy to learn how to be a good hunter, not to learn to fight with others!

After Lei Gang left, Zhou Ming and the members of the World Tree Hunting Group had an emergency meeting, the meeting was naturally related to the Demon Soul, they had to find a way to delay the speed of the development of the Demon Soul, and at the same time further accelerate their own development speed, so as to narrow the gap between the World Tree and the Demon Soul.

"Zhou Ming, should we also form a mercenary group to recruit hunters and mercenaries at the same time like Rashomon and Demon Soul, so that we can have some combat ability, and we don't have to scarred everyone like last time. Luo Fulei was a little worried, the current Star Pole Royal Academy seems to be calm on the surface, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, if there is not enough self-protection ability, in the upcoming war, no matter how famous the world tree is, it can only be a huge cake after all, and being divided by people is the only outcome.
