Chapter 35: The Scramble
Early the next morning, before dawn, Xiang Chu got up early. Xiang Chu slept in the hospital last night, and when he got up in the morning, Xiang Chu saw that He Yi and the others still showed no signs of waking up, so they left lightly.
As soon as he got out of the hospital, Xiang Chu saw dozens of tents on the huge playground.
"Why are there so few people?" Xiang Chu was a little strange, and then quickly understood that the smart bracelet could automatically record the number of demon beasts killed by the students, so it should be that many people did not come back to rest, and these people who rushed back must have to exchange for some kind of item or elixir......
Just when Xiang Chu sighed, there was some movement on the playground one after another, and I saw that some people were ready to get up and pack up their tents.
Xiang Chu's eyes lit up, and then he looked at the tents, only to see that there were men and women inside, these people did not show their cultivation, and they did not greet each other, just an indifferent person packing his bags.
Xiang Chu looked at it for a while, and saw that he couldn't find the cultivation of these people, so he stopped observing, but walked towards the outside of the fortress with the alloy long knife on his back.
Xiang Chu walked to the gate of the fortress, saw the soldiers guarding back and forth, he was in awe, and after bowing slightly to everyone, Xiang Chu walked out in stride.
Those soldiers on guard were also a little surprised to see Xiang Chu bowing, but seeing the respect in Xiang Chu's eyes, these soldiers all had a good impression of Xiang Chu. After all, all the geniuses who came here were geniuses, except for those geniuses from their military department and the inspection department, the rest of the geniuses from the outside world were all very arrogant, and they had no respect for them, who were generally only in the realm of forging flesh.
A cold wind blew, completely dissipating Xiang Chu's slight sleepiness.
Knort
Xiang Chu pulled out the alloy long knife and slowly walked towards this ancient forest.
roar
The sounds of all kinds of beasts were incessant, especially in the silence of the dark forest.
Xiang Chu clenched the long knife in his hand tightly, looking for a target aimlessly in the forest.
Siss
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps stepping on the dead leaves sounded, and Xiang Chu's muscles tensed instantly, staring at the darkness in front of him with a long knife in his hand.
The footsteps drew closer, and a figure stepped out of the darkness.
"Who." Xiang Chu burst out, the long knife in his hand slashed out, and a burst of energy, cutting a small ditch in front of Xiang Chu.
"New here?" A young voice rang out.
Xiang Chu was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't let his guard down, after all, he had already explained yesterday that they could fight each other when they left the castle.
"Who are you?" Xiang Chu said.
"Hehe, my name is Huang Long, student number 256." The visitor chuckled and said.
Xiang Chu was stunned, didn't he say that there is only a code name here?
The person who came didn't hear Xiang Chu's answer seemed to know Xiang Chu's thoughts, and continued: "Although there is a code name here, but in addition to being selected there, we people are here to make one more friend. After all, it's all geniuses who can come here! β
Xiang Chu didn't let his guard down when he heard this, but said slowly: "Student number 1024, Xiang Chu." β
"Xiang Chu?" Huang Long was shocked when he heard this, "Haven't you heard of a genius named Xiang Chu?" β
At this time, Huang Long walked out of the darkness, and Xiang Chu saw Huang Long clearly, Huang Long was probably eighteen or nineteen years old, with a delicate face, and there was always a hint of evil smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a sense of evil spirit.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm here to make friends, not to make enemies." Huang Long looked at the vigilant Xiang Chu and smiled.
Seeing that Xiang Chu didn't speak, Huang Long continued: "Where did you recommend it? The outside world hasn't heard of you, is it from the sectarian world? β
Xiang Chu still didn't speak when he heard this, but just looked at Huang Long curiously.
Huang Long was also a little helpless when he saw this, and when he was about to speak, a strong wind came towards Huang Long.
Roar
A huge black shadow suddenly struck from the darkness, and in an instant, a huge snake head was opening its bloody mouth and preparing to swallow the yellow dragon in one gulp.
boom
I saw a true qi burst out from Huang Long's hand, and the huge snake head was broken off from the middle, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Xiang Chu's pupils shrank, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, "Meridian Realm!" β
This Huang Long is about the same age as him, and he is a powerhouse in the meridian realm, and looking at the ease of solving a demon beast, I am afraid that he is not weak in the meridian realm.
"You're strong!" Xiang Chu suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Huang Long took his eyes off the giant snake, looked at Xiang Chu, waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is all trivial, it's just a dominance in the realm." β
"And I'm far worse than those monsters." Huang Long said indifferently.
Xiang Chu was stunned, "Monster? β
"You don't know?" Huang Long was also stunned when he heard Xiang Chu's words.
Xiang Chu shook his head when he heard this.
"Okay, I was similar to you when I first arrived, but you can read more of the primer, there is a qualifying match every week, and now the top 20 are called monsters by everyone, especially the top 10 ones, they don't look like young people!"
Xiang Chu nodded when he heard this, and he didn't reply, he also remembered that there seemed to be a ranking, but he didn't care about it, so he didn't check it.
Seeing that Xiang Chu didn't speak, Huang Long lost any interest and said, "Then I'll leave first, and I'll have time to chat." By the way, if you want to kill monsters and earn points, it's best to go deeper into the forest. There's not much to do in this outskirts. β
"I'll go first." As soon as the words fell, Huang Long disappeared into the night.
Xiang Chu looked at the direction in which Huang Long disappeared, and couldn't help but smile when he remembered what Huang Long had done just now, "It's a wonderful person." β
Xiang Chu shook his head, retracted his gaze, and walked in the direction that Huang Long pointed out just now, as he continued to go deeper, the cries of various unknown demon beasts continued to sound, which was particularly terrifying in this gloomy environment.
Xiang Chu's face was solemn when he heard the voices of these demon beasts, and every time he walked in, he was cautious, holding a knife in one hand, and his eyes scanned the surroundings like a falcon.
hiss
Xiang Chu's ears moved, and he instantly turned around and slashed out, and the white moonlight knife power slashed out from the alloy long knife.
boom
Xiang Chu turned to look, and didn't recognize this demon beast for a while, this demon beast was about three or four meters long, covered with scale armor, there was a dark horn on its forehead that flashed with a cold glow, its limbs were strong, and there were barbs on its hind feet as sharp as a scimitar. It looks like the legendary unicorn in the previous life, but the fangs exposed in the mouth of this demon beast make it look like a vicious beast.
"Tiger Scales!" Xiang Chu's face was solemn, this is a tiger scale, it is said that this demon is a cross between a tiger and a unicorn, inheriting the ferocity of the tiger and the speed of the unicorn, it is very difficult to entangle among the second-level demon beasts!
Xiang Chu secretly sighed his luck, he actually encountered a demon beast of this level for the first time.
"Kill."
Xiang Chu burst out, then jumped up and slashed at the forehead of the tiger scales.
boom
The strength of the knife directly smashed a tree, but it did not touch the tiger scales at all.
Xiang Chu hurriedly turned around, and the next moment, where Xiang Chu was standing just now, was slapped with a small pit by the palm of the tiger scales.
"Roar."
The tiger scales roared, and then the figure ran, and the giant palm slapped towards Xiang Chu again.
Xiang Chu's eyes were like gods, and his body was short at the moment when the tiger scales moved, and he slashed towards the tiger scales' abdomen with a sliding step.
Keng ......
The alloy long knife slashed at the tiger's abdomen, making a sound of Jin Ge colliding, splashing a spark.
"What a strong defense!" Xiang Chu said secretly, but the next moment he rolled to the side.
"Kill."
Xiang Chu held the alloy long knife and slashed out again!
boom
A knife slashed at the neck of the tiger scale, causing the tiger scale to scream in pain.
"Roar."
Seeing that this small human had actually injured himself, Tiger Scale let out an angry roar towards Xiang Chu, and then his body moved, and he came to Xiang Chu in the blink of an eye.
boom
Before Xiang Chu could react, he was slapped by the tiger scales and flew more than ten meters.
"Ahem."
"Roar."
As soon as Xiang Chu got up, he saw the tiger scales running towards him again.
At the moment of crisis, Xiang Chu moved the gossip dragon step to dodge, but this tiger scale was already good at speed, even if there was a gossip dragon step, Xiang Chu did not shake off the tiger scale.
Seeing that the distance between the tiger scales and himself was getting closer and closer, Xiang Chu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he sounded the true meaning of his master teaching him the gossip and dragon step.
So it stopped suddenly.
Seeing that this human suddenly stopped, a trace of doubt flashed in his fierce pupils, but the next moment it was replaced by ferocity, and at the same time lowered his high forehead, wanting to penetrate this human chest with a single horn on his head!
Boom
The tiger scales ran rampant all the way, crashing into all the obstacles on the road, and came to Xiang Chu in an instant.
"Roar."
Just when the single horn that emitted a ghostly light was about to stab Xiang Chu, I saw Xiang Chu dodge this blow with a strange dodge, and at the same time, a knife was slashed out, and it was slashed between the neck of the tiger scales in an instant.
"Roar."
The tiger scales were injured again, and let out an infinite roar, looking at this small human being with anger, his eyes were completely shrouded in killing intent, and it was going to tear this human to pieces!
Bang bang bang
The tiger scales ran again, and when Xiang Chu was still a few meters away, he jumped in the air, his huge body flew up instantly, and the giant palm was raised at the same time, and the giant claws that flashed with cold and bright light slapped towards Xiang Chu fiercely in the next moment.
Xiang Chu looked at the fierce gaze of the tiger scales and did not panic at all, his eyes revealed calmness, his steps moved, and he stepped on the gossip figure, and narrowly avoided this blow.
"Kill."
Xiang Chu slashed out again and slashed hard at the right hind leg of the tiger scale.
boom
The tiger scales landed on the ground and did not stand firmly, and pounced fiercely forward.
Xiang Chu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly seized the opportunity, straddled the tiger scales, and slammed the knife into the tiger scales' neck with both hands.
"Roar."
The tiger scales kept struggling, and the first thing was to shake Xiang Chu off his body.
bang
Xiang Chu looked at the tiger scales who had already stood up, and secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, if he had been given a few more seconds just now, then his long knife would have been able to sink into the neck of the tiger scales.
However, Xiang Chu didn't bother, after all, there was a first time and a second time, anyway, with You Longbu, he could basically be said to be invincible. Moreover, the tiger scales also deepened his understanding of the dragon step, even if he trembled for a while, the benefits to him were huge.
"Roar."
The tiger scales roared angrily, and slapped a big tree beside him towards Xiang Chu with one palm.
Xiang Chu's pupils shrank, and the alloy long knife in his hand slashed out again and again, and in the blink of an eye, the big tree was cut into several pieces.
"Roar."
The tiger scales attacked, Xiang Chu hurriedly dodged, and at the same time turned over and leaped, that is, he rode on the body of the tiger scales, the tiger scales kept jumping and galloping, wanting to throw Xiang Chu off, but this time Xiang Chu grabbed the inky hair around his neck, and he was not afraid of being thrown off by the tiger scales for a while.
Xiang Chu stabilized his body, and then held the alloy long knife in one hand and slammed it into the neck of the tiger scale.
"Roar."
The tiger scales struggled more and more fiercely, but Xiang Chu was overjoyed when he saw that he had succeeded in the blow, so he hurriedly pulled out a knife and inserted it again.
Poof
Seeing this, Xiang Chu hurriedly put his other hand on the handle of the knife, and stabbed it hard with both hands.
"Poof."
Knort
The alloy long knife pierced directly through the throat of the tiger scale, and the tiger scale fell to the ground with a bang after taking a few steps.
Xiang Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took out the alloy long knife and stabbed it several times, and only after the tiger scales were completely silent did Xiang Chu stop.
After determining that the tiger scales were completely dead, Xiang Chu sat next to the tiger scales.
"It seems that I am still a little reluctant to deal with the demon beasts of the upper meridian realm, if it weren't for the dragon step that made some breakthroughs this time, I'm afraid I would face the tiger scales ...... as fast as possible."
Xiang Chu shook his head, and then prepared to get up and deal with this tiger scale, after all, the scale armor on this tiger scale and the single horn on his forehead were very valuable.
Just as Xiang Chu was about to draw his knife, a voice suddenly came.
"Hey, it's a tiger scale."
Xiang Chu hurriedly looked over and saw a handsome young man appear not far away.
The visitor glanced at Xiang Chu and asked, "Boy, you killed this tiger scale alone?" β
Xiang Chu glanced at the young man and nodded, "Not bad." β
"Boy, are you willing to sell me these tiger scales? I'll give a million! The handsome young man said with a haughty face.
Xiang Chu was stunned when he heard this, and secretly complained in his heart, but he still said on his face: "I'm sorry, I don't sell!" β
"Boy, I think you're new here, right? Don't know who I am yet. It's your honor that I can pay for your stuff! The young man looked at Xiang Chu and said lightly.
Xiang Chu rolled his eyes, when he was the emperor, he wanted to buy a meridian realm tiger scale for one million, it was really naΓ―ve, "Tiger scales are relatively rare demon beasts, as far as the scale armor on the body is concerned, it can be sold for at least five million, plus this intact single horn, I am afraid that this tiger scale can be sold for at least twelve million." β
"And you actually want to buy it for a million, I don't know if you are a fool, or if you look at me like something." Xiang Chu said unceremoniously.
"Boy, you dare to call me a fool." The handsome young man was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily.
"I think you're looking for death!"
