Chapter 4: The Hunt

The hunt has begun.

In this area with complex terrain and changeable weather, the identities of hunters and prey are constantly exchanged, and everyone is working hard not to be eliminated, to persevere, and to survive.

Who can make it to Zuihou?

It's the third day of the Survival Match.

On a desert, Dick frowned, not because of the few fire-attribute demonic beasts and puppets in front of him, but because of the people hiding in the sand dunes behind him, waiting for the people who took advantage of the fisherman.

But at this time, he was not allowed to think too much, because those several fire attribute demonic beasts had already pounced on him, namely four fire foxes equivalent to fifth-level trainee warriors, and one fire element puppet equivalent to third-level warriors.

The Firefox is a magical beast known for its dexterity, resembling a fox in appearance, but much larger than a normal fox. A layer of fire burned outside its blood-red fur.

The fire elemental golem was somewhat similar to the rock golem that Dick had encountered a few days ago, standing more than three meters tall, surrounded by crimson rocks, and burning with flames on its body.

Dick's figure was like a ghost, cutting through a strange arc, dodging all the attacks of the monsters and puppets, and waiting for the opportunity to stab the magic sword Nether, and in the blink of an eye, his sword had taken the lives of two fire foxes.

At the same time, Dick's lips began to move slightly.

"Daredevil Wings!" This magic is for those who are lurking behind him. But seeing that the void in front of Dick suddenly appeared a deep darkness, and the evil spirit and hideous face of the night demon stepped out of the darkness, and his wings stretched to the extreme to protect Dick's body and back.

Dick held the magic sword and opened and closed, the sharp sword qi turned into a rain of sword swords pouring down, and the remaining two fire foxes died under this sword qi, and even the warrior-level fire element puppet was constantly retreated by the fierce sword qi, and the rocks that made up the body were cut off from schist.

At that moment, the figure hidden in the sand dunes behind Dick moved! However, to Dick's surprise, there was not one person hiding behind the dunes, but two. However, it is not surprising that if the people participating in the survival match have a little friendship with someone in the past during the competition, it is normal for them to form a temporary alliance.

"Ice Storm!" one of them, apparently a water-based magician, unleashed a spell that had been prepared for a long time, and flakes of frost condensed from the sky, smashing down on the fire elemental golem's head and face.

Another figure, dressed in a black suit, wielded an extremely slender stabbing sword, caught Dick's old power at the end of his life, and slammed into his back before the new power was alive, the slender stabbing sword sliced through the air and whined. Apparently this is an extremely clever assassin.

The frost formed by the ice storm poured down from the sky above the Fire Elemental Golem, extinguishing the flames burning outside the Fire Elemental Golem's body, and even the fiery red boulder that made up its body lost its luster, and in the rumbling loud noise, the Fire Elemental Golem disintegrated, turning into countless tiny stones and falling to the ground.

On the other side, the black-clothed assassin who attacked Dick flicked his wrist, and the thin stabbing sword in his hand drew a tricky trajectory and stabbed Dick in the back. With a crisp sound, Dick's body didn't move, but the Daredevil's wings shattered, and the black-clad assassin was affected by the backlash and took three steps back, and the soles of his feet sank deep into the sand.

A fourth-level water mage and a fifth-level assassin, this is Dick's judgment of the opponent's strength.

Dick turned and confronted the two, their eyes colliding in the air. The water mage was a thin young man, and the black-clad assassin was much taller, with a slashed face that revealed a hint of coldness.

These two are the most troublesome opponents that Dick has encountered in the past three days, in the three days since the start of the game, in order not to be eliminated, or rather, in order to survive, Dick has constantly fought with all kinds of Warcraft, elemental golems or other contestants, but Dick's luck is not bad, he has not encountered too difficult Warcraft or contestants in the past three days, counting the four Firefoxes he just killed, Dick's points have now accumulated to two hundred and forty-two points. But now, Dick's good fortune has run out. It would have been fine if either of them had met Dick alone, but now that the two had joined forces, it would be a bit of a hassle for Dick, especially if he couldn't kill anyone.

None of the three spoke, and the scene was suddenly silent, broken by the sound of chanting incantations.

Dick and the water mage began to chant the incantation at about the same time, and the black-clad assassin swung his sword at Dick the moment the incantation sounded. His footsteps stepped on the sand, stirring up billowing clouds of smoke and dust behind him as he galloped.

Dick flicked his wrist, and the demon sword Nether protected him, and at the same time, the raging demon flames instantly spread over it. The black-clothed assassin was in front of him almost in the blink of an eye, and the two of them immediately fought fiercely, the sword shadow flying, and the fighting spirit was rampant.

The water mage finished his spell, "The Realm of Stagnation!" the water mage snorted, pointing his finger at Dick.

As if falling into the water, Dick felt the resistance of the air around him suddenly increase, and the original flowing sword move suddenly slowed down, just like that, his body was already hung with color, and the black-clothed assassin grabbed the defensive gap of Dick's sword and stabbed two swords in succession, the first sword stabbed the other night demon wing, and the second sword stabbed into his right shoulder.

However, at this time, Dick's magic was also completed, "Dark Curse: Sluggish!"

The black-clothed assassin's face showed shock, and he was surprised to find that Dick, who had been slowing down, suddenly became even faster than before, so fast that his figure flashed, crossed his side, and rushed towards the water magician, and the moment the two passed by, Dick did not forget to slash a sword on the opponent's shoulder.

The water magician was shocked, and hurriedly sent a "water barrier" to protect himself, only to see a layer of blue brilliance protecting the water magician's body. With a flick of Dick's hand, several balls of dark flame spawned out of thin air and shot at the water magician. However, the other party's instantaneous magic seemed to be no small enough, and coupled with the water overcoming fire, a few dark flame balls only caused the light of the water barrier to flicker, but did not make it collapse.

Dick, who was galloping, uttered a few syllables quickly in his mouth.

"Dark Flame Gun!"

The black flame attached to the demon sword began to roll like a life, and gradually broke away from the sword body to form the shape of a spear in the air, and the spear composed of demon flames was three meters long, and as soon as it appeared, it shot straight at the water mage in front of him according to Dick's wishes.

This is one of the new dark spells that Dimehera has taught these days, and the advantage is that the spell is short, only a few syllables need to be recited when the dark flame has already been summoned, and it is extremely penetrating and destructive.

The Dark Flame Spear shot at the Water Barrier with a soft sound, and then the Water Barrier shattered and scattered like broken paper, and the Dark Flame Spear penetrated without hindrance, grazing past the water mage's ear and shooting into the distance, causing a violent explosion, in order to avoid causing irreparable damage to the opponent, this fire gun was not aimed at the water mage.

The water mage was terrified, and just as he reached out to touch the burn on his ear, Dick was already in front of him, and a knife knocked the defenseless water mage unconscious.

It was only then that the black-clad assassin behind him adapted to the curse of sluggishness, and he turned around and glared at Dick.

Dick ignored his angry gaze and said lightly, "Do you want to hand it over yourself or do you want me to do it?"

The black-clothed assassin gritted his teeth and groaned for a long time, the kid in front of him could stun one of them even if the two of them joined forces, and it seemed that his strength was not something he could compete with.

Thinking of this, he finally took out a metal tag from his arms and threw it at Dick, who reached out and caught it steadily, while he also crouched down and took out the survival match qualification card from the arms of the water magician who had fainted on the ground. And opened the space bag and put the corpses of the two firefoxes inside.

The meat of a demonic beast like Firefox is edible, and the crystal nucleus of a demonic beast is also very valuable, so how can Dick waste it?

"Thank you. As if he hadn't seen the black-clad assassin's fire-breathing gaze, Dick smiled at him. Then he turned and strode away.

Contestants who lose their credentials will be teleported out of Grells Plains after five minutes. But none of this was about Dick, for he was the victor in the battle.

Throwing away two metal cards with zero points, Dick took out his metal cards and looked at them, points: four hundred and seventy-four. It seems that attacking other contestants is indeed the fastest way to earn points.

Dick kept walking in the desert at a constant speed all the way, and he needed to find a place between dark to cultivate and rejuvenate, without worrying about leaving footprints, because the wind was blowing all the time in this desert, although the wind was not strong, it was enough to cover up the traces he left behind.

On the way, he encountered a few more magical beasts, but they were all low-level, and Dick didn't take much effort to clean them up. His points had risen by more than a dozen points, and there were a few more crystal nuclei in the space bag.

As the sun was about to set to fade, Dick finally found the ideal spot, behind a sand dune, there was a large clump of cacti, these desert plants grew more than a man's height, and the thick spikes on their bodies made them look like hideous ghosts in the setting sun.

Dick cautiously walked among the thorny plants, and where he couldn't make his way, he slashed a path with his magic sword. When Dick felt that he was almost in the middle of the cactus jungle, he waved the Nether, opened and closed widely, and in three or two strokes he opened up a large enough clearing in the middle of the cactus. By this time it was completely dark.

Dick cut off a few wilted and dead cacti and piled them in the middle of the clearing, and set them on fire with a dark ball, then he opened the space bag, took out the corpse of a fire fox from it, skinned it and dug out the internal organs and crystal nucleus, and then directly used the magic sword Nether to put it on the fire and grill it.

Dick's cooking skills are really different, and the fire fox meat has been scorched by the flame in several places, but for Dick, who has eaten wild fruits for several days, the burnt meat is also a rare delicacy. He enjoyed it beautifully.

After filling his stomach, Dick rested for a while, then extinguished the fire, and when everything around him fell into absolute darkness, he took out a divine grace potion from the space bag, opened the cork on the bottle and poured it into it in one gulp, and then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.

In this dangerous environment, meditation instead of sleep is undoubtedly the best choice.

Suddenly, there was a noisy fighting sound in the distance, and the sound was still approaching rapidly!

Dick, who was meditating, immediately opened his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes flashed away like a meteor. He got up silently and pulled up the magic sword Netherworld, which was inserted in the sand beside him. Then he slowly approached the place where the sound came from, this time all the cacti that stood in his way were directly cut off by him to save time, and the broken cactus had been burned into a pile of ashes by the black flames of the Demon Realm before it fell to the ground and made a sound.

Dick is like a nocturnal black cat, silently moving towards the goal. Even the soles of his feet barely formed footprints on the sand.

It's close!

Dick hid his figure behind a sand dune and quietly poked his head out into the distance.

By the light of the stars and the moon, he could vaguely see six figures in the distance fighting fiercely, it was a battle between four people against two people, only one of the two was obviously at a disadvantage, Dick originally planned to take advantage of the fisherman, just like the water mage and the black-clad assassin did during the day. But suddenly, a vindictive light lit up the audience, making him see the appearance of one of the two people clearly.

McFarlane! Dick exclaimed in his heart.
