Yunling, a second-class city, a tea city.

Luo He shouldered the nine-section wolf, and while walking towards the registration site, he observed this antique city and thought of the history of the pet beast world.

The tea city used to be an important post station on the 'Ancient Tea Horse Road'.

During the prosperous era ruled by the empress, tea merchants carried tea leaves on rock-hoof horses to the Western Regions, and even sold tea to countries ruled by pet beasts.

To this day, the 'Yunqing tea' produced in the tea mountains is still the characteristic of this small city.

Because recently, the rookie king competition in the southwest division has set up a new site in the tea city.

Therefore, there are a lot of tourists in the local area, and at the same time, it also sets off a strong festival atmosphere.

In the unique small town, gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing, and colorful flags are displayed.

At the crowded registration site, Luo He also saw several trainers wearing the costumes of a few clans, which was more common in Yunling.

When it was his turn in line, Luo He spoke:

"Hello, I'm here to sign up for the Newcomer King Contest in the Southwest Division."

"Okay, please please give me the trainer bracelet." The staff said.

"Huh~"

Xiao Jiu leaned down and handed out a chubby bear paw, holding the black trainer's bracelet in his paws.

The staff smiled, took it with both hands, and after scanning, returned it to Xiao Jiu respectfully:

"Okay, it's done, please get your bracelet."

"Huh~" The nine-section wolf stuck out his tongue as if he was cute.

The chubby Luo Xiaojiu attracted a lot of attention from all around.

Everyone recognized that this was a pet beast like the 'Nine Sections Wolf', which was good at selling cuteness, and while smiling, their hearts relaxed a lot.

"Please let your pet beast, stand there."

The staff pointed to the security gate-like device next to him and said, "Just scan it." ”

The name of this device is unpretentious, a second-level energy detector, which can detect the strength of pet beasts at the extraordinary level and below.

Xiao Jiu stood at the security gate, felt a wave of energy swept by, and looked around with some curiosity.

At the same time, on the computer screen of the staff, a message about the pet beast appeared.

"Awakening level 9?"

The staff's heart moved slightly, and they couldn't help but look at Xiao Jiu more.

It is really rare to be able to cultivate the nine-section wolf to this extent.

"Any questions?" Luo He Dao.

"No, you just need to go to the next hall and wait."

"Because there were so many people today, we were able to match up with opponents very quickly, and then we started playing the first round right away," the staff said. ”

The Rookie King Contest has two rounds of auditions.

Participants need to win two auditions in a row to get the place to advance to the top 32, and after all the places are decided, the main competition will be officially held in Jindu, a first-class city in Sichuan and Shu.

As soon as Luo He walked into the waiting hall, he heard the display board in the center of the hall and called his number.

"Please No. 443, Luo He, to the No. 4 battlefield."

Luo He first fed Xiao Jiu a piece of glazed snake fruit, and then said:

"Winning the battle will give you more food."

"Huh!"

Hearing the word "additional meal", the fire in Xiao Jiu's eyes burned violently.

Luo He came to the No. 4 pair of venues and found that his opponent was already in place.

"Hello, my name is Shi Yong." The opponent is a calm-looking boy who takes the initiative to say hello.

Luo He also reported to his home, and after greetings, the two sides stood on the side of the battlefield, and the referee raised his flag and said:

"Please, players on both sides, summon pet beasts!"

In front of Shi Yong, an emerald green summoning array lit up, and a gray pet beast like a withered vine appeared from it.

This pet beast seems to be dead wood, but Luo He accurately identified this as a poisonous snake through the knowledge of the ranger, and made a simple summary in his mind.

【Pet Beast Name: Withered Vine Snake】

【Attribute:Grass】

[Race Level: Medium Extraordinary]

[Description: Venomous snakes that live in dark forests or damp mires will disguise themselves as withered vines to hide from predators or launch attacks.] 】

[Race moves: snake strangulation, vine binding, venom spray, fangs.] 】

The four racial moves of the Withered Vine Snake are all low-level moves, but they can achieve the [tactical] effect through the combination of moves, inflicting fatal injuries on the enemy.

For example, shoot vines to imprison enemies, then wrap them around with a flexible snake body to strangle them until they faint.

In short, it is a sinister and ferocious viper.

On the other hand, it was also Shi Yong's trusted companion, and was cultivated by him to the tenth level of awakening.

Shi Yong has a low-key appearance and a calm heart, knowing that his strength is one of the best in this audition, and even if he encounters an opponent of equal strength, it will be difficult to lose.

"Next, it depends on what kind of pet beast the little brother on the other side will summon." Shi Yong said in his heart.

The light of the fire summoning array bloomed, and when he saw the pet beast sent from the opposite side, Shi Yong was stunned for a moment.

It's actually a nine-section wolf?

This little brother is either an amateur, or he has true love for the nine-section wolf, otherwise he would not choose it as the main force.

"The battle begins!" The referee gave the order.

It seems that this is hardly a matchup.

Shi Yong's eyes froze, and he shouted in a low voice: "Withered vine snake, venom spray!" ”

The dead branches, like dead things, suddenly came to life.

The withered vine snake coiled its gray bloated snake body, raised the head of the snake with patterns, its eyes were scarlet, and it opened its bloody mouth with a 'hiss'!

Outside Site 4.

Many spectators at the scene, across the energy network, watched this battle.

At this time, seeing the "withered vine" suddenly come to life and hiss like a poisonous snake, the audience couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations.

A well-dressed middle-aged man heard the movement and stopped to take a look.

"The camouflage is in place, the fangs are sharp, and the withered vine snake is well cultivated."

Taking advantage of the fact that the main competition area was not opened, the referee Wu Pei, who came to inspect the sub-division, nodded slightly.

"He should be on track to make it to the round of 32—"

However.

Referee Wu Pei still hadn't remembered the trainer's name.

The scene had already erupted into even stronger tremors.

I saw the withered vine snake spewing out a dark purple venom with a sulfur smell, and the highly corrosive poisonous arrow 'swished' towards the nine-section wolf, and the audience seemed to have seen the painful wailing of the nine-section wolf.

But there was a sudden change.

The nine-section wolf stood on his feet, revealing his black belly, and his small round face was full of seriousness, and he calmly pursed his tongue.

Poisoned arrows flew head-on, and the nine-section wolf opened its mouth and spat out a surging fireball!

Fireballs burst out, and a raging heat swept into the audience.

At the same time as the exclamation sounded, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the referee Wu Pei.

This nine-knotted wolf is not using flames, but a mid-level move "Fire Bomb"?

How did it successfully master this move at the awakening level?

Moreover, the proficiency and power of the fire bomb are quite high!

on the field.

The fireball flew in, and the raging fire instantly devoured the venom, making a clattering sound, and continued to rush towards the withered vine snake.

Shi Yong's eyes widened as he looked at the oncoming fireball.

What's the situation?

Withered Vine Snake's "Venom Spray" move was evaporated like this?

Rumble!!

The fireball exploded on the body of the withered vine snake with a loud bang!

This visually striking scene made the surrounding audience hold their breath and wait for the result.

The flames flew in all directions, and in the fire, the withered vine snake fell without support.

The referee gave a confirmed look, raised the flag, and said:

"Winner, Luo He!"

After a moment of silence, there was an exclamation from the scene.

"I'm going, being seconded?"

"What firepower!"

Shi Yong opened his mouth in a daze, and gradually came back to his senses, a little incredulous.

I'm a withered vine snake that has been raised since I was a child and has awakened to level 10!

Damn, it was just seconded?

Dude, is this nine-section wolf of yours serious!

The battle ended in an instant, but it was still exciting, attracting bursts of applause and applause from the audience.

Referee Wu Pei calmed down the ups and downs in his heart, followed the applause, and carefully looked at Luo He and the nine-section wolf on the field.

"Amazing flames, wonderful spikes." Wu Pei's eyes flickered: "There is Mr. Fu Ming, the demeanor of the nine-section wolf leader." ”

This year's Southwest Rookie Race has produced a strong dark horse.

After the game.

In the enthusiastic applause of the audience, the players on both sides left the field.

Shi Yong was a little frustrated, clicked on the trainer's bracelet, and inquired about the public information after the game, and was immediately stunned.

This nine-section wolf, only ...... Awakening level 9?

The growth level is lower than the withered vine snake, but it already has this strength?

Shi Yong realized it later, and his face was shocked.

This is a match for an opponent of equal strength.

It's clearly a match for a big guy!

The first round of auditions, easy to advance.

Luo He glanced at Xiao Jiu on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go, take you to drink Yunqing tea." ”

"Huh~(≧∀≦)" ♪

Xiao Jiu grinned happily and stuck out his tongue.

You can add food again~
