Volume I: The Golden Pocket Watch Chapter 133: The Hunt Begins
"Venason, it's too slow, you're coming back too slowly." Lilith's curved eyebrows furrowed slightly, expressing her displeasure with Venasson.
"I'm sorry, there was a little accident during the exploration." Venason bent down solemnly and said, "I promise, not next time." ”
"Temporary accidents?"
The silver revolver instantly bounced off Karl's hand and asked, "What accident?" Was it an ambush by another squad, or was there a powerful otherworldly being? ”
"Other squads in ambush? Isn't the point hunting tournament defined by how much it means to hunt supernatural creatures and dispel spirit creatures? Is it possible to attack and loot between squads? ”
Ron and Lilith were stunned at the same time, their crystal pupils staring straight at Carl, waiting for verification.
"Raids are indeed possible!" Venason bowed his head in the affirmative.
"Originally, I wanted to wait for the next day to say it, but since Carl said it, let's say it in advance."
"Venason, you know about this, too? Aren't you just like us and you're taking part in the Points Hunt for the first time? Lilith's gaze shifted rapidly, with a clear hint of inquiry.
"That's what Mr. Wright told me, sorry, I should have told you in advance." Venason smiled awkwardly, subconsciously realizing that he had slipped out of his mouth, so he could only quickly explain.
"Hmph, we're a squad, it's too much for you two to hide this kind of thing from me and Ron." Lilith said in a calm tone, but looking at her expression, she was not really angry.
"That's it, I've told you all the family secrets, Venasson, Carl, it's not enough brotherhood." Ron hurriedly chimed in.
As the sparse light scattered the earth under the twilight, Karl stood by the campfire, looking at the ruined town in the distance, which was obscured by the gray mist, and after a moment of silence spoke:
"The points hunting tournament lasts for 3 days, and the dusk of the first day is the exploration time, theoretically speaking, whether it is a single person or a team, as long as there is a new area to explore, even if the task is completed, the team and the individual will have a reward of 10 points."
"The second day is hunting time, all the squads start to hunt extraordinary creatures cooperatively, the more they hunt, the higher the points, but according to the situation in previous years, each squad completes an average of about 2 hunts on the second day, and according to the calculation, you can get 10 points."
"The third day is also the return time, the team that has completed the hunt will begin to return to the initial area, and the team that successfully survives will control the points at about 20 or 25 points if nothing else, and such a point battle, Hornavich University will prepare twice in 4 years, and the usual way to earn points can only go to the Academic Affairs Office to receive extraordinary tasks, and when the points exceed 100 points, it is an excellent graduation."
"But every year there are a very few 'geniuses' who get around 50 points or even more after the points hunt, do you think that means?"
"It means that during the three days of the points race, a squad attacked the other squad and took away the points." Lily replied without hesitation.
"That's right, exactly." Carl bowed his head in affirmation.
"I see, I naively thought it was just a simple hunt for transcendent creatures, but I didn't expect that this was the real purpose of the school."
"Venason, what trouble did you say you were encountering?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I met an Andriol." Vinason took off his hat and scratched his head, this time he wasn't hiding anything, after all, they were a squad and needed to trust this thing.
"The Andriths, a very rare transcendent creature, I have seen it in ancient books, is it the initial sequence? We can go hunting now, basically as a hunt. ”
"Sequence 3, that, I'm actually done hunting!"
Karl unconsciously spun the silvery-white revolver in his palm, and then the whole person seemed to be transformed into a marble statue, motionless.
After a long time, he replied with a far-reaching gaze:
"You're hunting the Andriol of Sequence 3?"
"Oh my God, Venasson, you, you didn't lie to us, did you? You actually single-handedly killed a Sequence 3 transcendent creature? Lilith's eyes widened in unimaginable, and she barely managed to maintain the disguise of the 'Water Soul' card.
"Fluke... Luck...... Well, it's just a bit of luck that the transcendent creature was badly injured, so I got my hands on it, which is a big bargain. ”
Karl bowed his head lightly and said:
"The Andriol is a cunning transcendent creature that can even imitate human language at the level of Sequence 3, but fortunately it was already injured when it was encountered, otherwise even if I used a magical item, I wouldn't have been able to kill it with ten layers of certainty."
Klein nodded hurriedly and organized the language: "So I propose to act now, this time of exploration, I found that the sequences of most of the transcendent creatures are not very high, probably around sequence 1 to sequence 2, so I guess that there are a certain number of these low sequences, and after being hunted, the rest should be medium-sequence monsters." ”
"No problem." Carl didn't hesitate to agree, didn't ask too many other questions, and fundamentally, he had a fairly high guess about Wienersen's abilities.
"Let's go!"
At dusk, the clouds glowed red, shining on the silent, dilapidated brick road, along which the four members of the Venason team were moving forward.
Due to the early exploration, the leading member is naturally Vinason, and the three cards behind him are spinning at high speed.
Carl is less than 3 meters away from Lilith and is in the middle of the team, mainly to protect against unexpected situations.
Ron was holding a unique silver-gray badge that was the queen of the palace.
"We walked along this road covered in gray fog, and it only took about an hour to reach a complex in front of us, similar to a residential area, with a lot of small alleys, and it was in that place that I met the Andriol."
Venasson's words stopped, but Lilith couldn't help but look at the brick and stone road in front of her, the road under her feet was already dilapidated, the grass on both sides of the road was endless, and the bones of different creatures could be seen everywhere, this scene only existed in legends for her as a child living in the aristocratic circle.
"Roar!"
"Whew!"
"What's that sound?" Listening to the howls of unknown creatures coming from the ruined ruins in the distance, Ron subconsciously asked.
"Silver wolves are a group of transcendent creatures who like to be in packs, fierce and cunning, they are synonymous with them." Karl glanced at the black shadow lurking in the grass, and immediately pulled the revolver trigger to shoot, "Oh no, we are surrounded by wolves. ”
Carl's voice sounded, and Venason smiled slightly, his spiritual power had already covered this area, and even a few transcendent creatures were clear.
9 Silver Wolves, 6 of which are Sequence 1, and the remaining two are Sequence 2, if I hadn't been promoted to Sequence 3, it might have been really difficult, after all, two fists are hard to reach four hands, but now, my speed, nervous reactions, mental power control, and physical explosiveness are completely able to deal with it.
"Protect Lilith, let me come with these wolf cubs!"
