On the colonel's field, on the side of the stage, eight shirtless strong men with red scarves on their heads beat war drums, majestic and solemn. The hunting ceremony was a royal celebration, and the imperial generals and officials of all levels in attendance filled the already small point of the tent.

Ji Yinghan, who was late, looked around, did not see the figure of Beihu, his heart was a little settled, and he pulled Wang Ruying into the queue, and the combination of a man and a woman attracted everyone's attention. Although several people who had been in the restaurant were surprised, they still bowed their heads politely.

After the three-way drum was finished, another horn was blown. It wasn't until everyone was annoyed that a samurai with a sword came out to announce the start of the ceremony.

The samurai announced that there was nothing new in the rules, and continued the tradition of the hunting ceremonies, that is, for a limited time of three hours, the contestants could hunt beasts in any way in the hunting ground, and the beasts hunted were divided into nine ranks, each with different equal scores, and the one with the highest cumulative total score won.

Lao Xu's news is not wrong at all, this hunting ceremony rewarded 200 gold, 100 more than in previous years, which attracted everyone's cheers, and only Ji Yinghan and Wang Ruying were unmoved in the crowd.

Wang Ruying saw that Ji Ying's cold face did not change, and she was secretly happy in her heart, and praised him: "I knew that Brother Ji was not a greedy person for money, and unlike those three sects and nine streams, he must have a more important purpose." She smiled and admired her feelings, a woman of her age is the easiest to fall in love with a hero.

Ji Yinghan did have other plans, but it was inconvenient to explain, so he had to lie to her: "I have itchy hands and want to practice my hands, but in fact, I am studying the same as Miss Ruying." Wang Ruying believed what he said, and whispered: "As long as there are no high-level beasts, it is more than enough to deal with the hunting ceremony with Brother Ji's skills." But don't worry, according to Lao Xu's records, there has never been a high-level beast in the hunting ceremony. ”

What is the record, Ji Yinghan looked dazed, he hadn't heard Lao Xu mention it.

Wang Ruying playfully grimaced, her bright eyes were just like crystal teardrops on the fresh petals, and she covered her mouth and smiled: "It seems that you didn't buy Lao Xu's hunting book, but it is precious, and it was sold for two gold." But it's also worth the money, it records all kinds of beasts and the grand occasions of the past years, and my brother and I bought a copy, but I haven't finished reading it yet. ”

Ji Yinghan took the treasure book and flipped it through hastily, and suddenly felt deceived, this old Xu can be called a model of profiteer. The so-called treasure book is nothing more than a few yellowed pages of paper with unrecognizable animal motifs drawn on them, and many words are blurred, and selling them for two gold is a robbery. When he was about to turn it over again, the warrior with the sword had already urged everyone to set off, and Ji Yinghan reluctantly told Wang Ruying to put away the treasure book and look at it when it was used.

The hunting ground outside Wuyang Fort is actually a dense primeval forest, surrounded by mountains and mountains, with a radius of hundreds of miles. Walking into the forest, I saw that the forest was dense, but there was no weed. From time to time, strange birds flew in the air, chirping non-stop, these birds were not among the ninth class of fierce beasts, and it was useless to hunt, no one wanted to bother.

There are swarms of poisonous mosquitoes in the hunting ground, Wang Ruying has been prepared, tightened her cuffs, put on gloves, and covered herself with a thin veil, wrapping herself tightly.

Ji Yinghan was no exception, Wang Ruying waved his little hand to drive away mosquitoes for him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Ji's martial arts were world-famous, and there was no way to take this little worm." "Actually, it's not that there is no way, everyone only needs to drive the True Qi Protector, but the hunt is imminent, and no one wants to waste their physical strength.

A huge incense burner was lit on the edge of the hunting ground, this incense was specially made of a kind of red clay in the southeast of Ningguo, and the red smoke reached into the sky, even from twenty miles away. After three hours, when the incense is gone, everyone must bring back the beads they have obtained from hunting the beasts for the final evaluation.

The Yellow Emperor's parchment book clearly records that the beast bead is the essence of the life of the beast, and it is generally only possessed by adult elite beasts. The better quality animal beads can be made into ornaments, which are very popular among the dignitaries, and the highest animal beads can be used for medicinal purposes, and it is rumored that they can prolong life and cure all diseases.

As soon as the order was issued, everyone dispersed in a hurry, and most of them swept into the depths of the northern forest, all wanting to hunt for the higher beasts and compete for the huge bounty of two hundred gold. Ji Yinghan and Wang Ruying did not follow the trend and went westward in reverse. Because according to the records of Lao Xu Baodian, there are many low-level beasts in the west of the hunting ground, and Wang Ruying only needs to hunt a fifth-class beast to return to the mountain to recover his life.

Leaving the periphery of the forest, the mosquitoes gradually disappeared, and those fierce beasts must not even dare to bite the mosquitoes. Although the low-level beasts are not difficult to deal with, with a beautiful woman by his side, Ji Yinghan had to be very cautious, and in order to avoid getting lost, he also carved a mark on the towering trees along the way.

The two of them went all the way to the west, and after about half an hour, they only hunted two coyotes and a flower fox, although they were all the last beasts of the ninth rank, but because the beast was not long, they did not even find a beast bead, which was a waste of effort.

Wang Ruying was afraid that she would find nothing, so she said anxiously: "This broken treasure book is really nonsense, after walking so far, you can't even see the shadow of the beast beads, why don't we go north?" ”

Ji Yinghan's expression was solemn, he made a silent gesture, and stretched out his hand to signal her to come closer. Wang Ruying was startled, and jumped back like a rabbit and clinged to Ji Yinghan's side.

Ji Yinghan couldn't enjoy the spring light in front of him, he closed his eyes, and as far as his mind could reach, everything around him appeared in his mind one by one. Lao Xu's record should be correct, judging from the breath remaining in the forest, this place did indeed inhabit many low-level beasts. The law of the jungle is the only law in the world, and in addition to humans, the most ferocious beasts can disperse the large hordes of beasts.

Ji Yinghan protected Wang Ruying behind him, pointed to the right front, and a hundred zhang away, the breath of a fierce beast loomed. Wang Ruying suddenly realized it and couldn't help but exclaim.

The beast was startled and galloped along the way.

Ji Yinghan saw the leaves flying, felt the soles of his feet move slightly, and knew that the comer was not good, so he pulled out the sword hidden in his jacket and waited for it.

The beast stopped five feet away, panting.

Wang Ruying exclaimed: "It's the Heavenly Spirit Rhino!" ”

This rhinoceros is like a buffalo, the whole body is pitch black, the body is strong, the head is like a pig, the feet are like elephants, there are triangles on the head, there are three hooves under the feet, the lips are bloody, and it looks very ugly. Legend has it that the spirit rhino only eats poisonous weeds, and the rhino horn can detoxify all kinds of poisons, which is a very rare spirit animal.

Ji Yinghan asked calmly, "What kind of beast is this?" Wang Ruying replied in a trembling voice: "Fifth-class, but Brother Ji be careful, Tongtian Spirit Rhino is a fifth-class spirit beast, much more powerful than ordinary demon beasts......"

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

As long as this beast is hunted, the Taiyi Sect's cultivation will be completed.
