Chapter Ninety-Two: The Hunt
After watching the team in King Hui's mansion disappear into the valley mouth of Beiyuan, Xiang Hao also turned around and waved his hand, and then said to Lao Gao: "Let's go, let's go in too." ”
Qin Wen followed Xiang Hao into Beiyuan, and as soon as he entered the valley, Qin Wen felt the abnormal movement of the aura, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Mo, Lu Mo nodded and said in a low voice: "The entire Beiyuan is in a large array, and this formation is even higher than the level of the mountain protection array we encountered a few days ago." ”
Qin Wen nodded, he also heard what Lu Mo said about the mountain protection formation is the formation of the Tianmi Sect General Altar, but there are many people here, and he didn't say it directly, when he was in the Tianmi Sect General Altar, Qin Wen felt the strength of the mountain protection formation, and a hunting place in Beiyuan actually had such a powerful formation, Qin Wen hesitated a little in his heart, could it be that this Beiyuan is not just a hunting ground.
However, after entering Beiyuan, Qin Wen also knew that now was not the time to think about this matter, and he still had to calm down and deal with the spirit beasts in it, and then he heard Lao Gao whisper in front of him: "Huiwangfu is taking the road of Shenshuitan, he is really calculating." ”
Qin Wen opened his mouth and asked, "Is the road in the deep water pool easier to walk than ours?"
Qian San pondered a little and explained: "In terms of distance, the road in Shenshuitan is relatively close, but the distribution of high-level spirit beasts over there is relatively even, and there are basically no spirit beasts above the spirit level, unlike the road we walked, except for Wanhualing, they are all low-level spirit beasts, and in terms of the distribution of distance, it is said that they will have some difficulty for us." ”
"But the ones they brought this time are all high-level monks, as long as they don't touch the spirit level spirit beasts, there is almost no difference between dealing with low-level and high-level spirit beasts, it seems that King Hui also moved his mind when he drew lots, so as not to be left behind by others. ”
Qin Wen looked up at the sky above at this time and said, "Since we can just pass through Beiyuan this time, why don't we fly directly from above, in that case, the speed will be much faster." ”
Lao Gao shook his head and said: "In the past few days, I have also consulted some records about the hunting of Beiyuan, this Beiyuan is completely under a formation, I don't know if it is due to the formation or other factors, as long as there are monks flying in the air, it will cause violent fluctuations in the aura in the formation, so that the probability of causing high-level spirit beasts to be discovered is also much greater, maybe the attack will be stronger than below." ”
After finishing speaking, Qin Wen saw Qian San's right hand wave, and more than a dozen monks in the back quickly interspersed to the front, guarding Xiang Hao and Qin Wen in the middle, and then Qian San walked in the front, exploring the terrain in front, and after a while, he picked up the paper and looked at the road marked above, so as not to go the wrong way.
Entered the Beiyuan and walked for about ten miles, the mountain in front of it gradually became steeper, the horses could not walk on the mountain road, Xiang Hao also turned over and dismounted, walked beside Qin Wen, and after a while, a wild boar came out of the hillside, and the body was glowing with a pale yellow luster.
The wild boar just escaped out of the mountain forest, raised his eyes and saw the group of monks in the Duanwang Mansion, and hurriedly fled to the depths of the dense forest, but Qian San was also quick-eyed, and with a wave of his right hand, the flying sword pierced the wild boar's neck, and after a blood light splashed out, the wild boar ran two steps and fell on the grass.
Everyone stepped forward, and a small steward behind Qian San casually split the head of the wild boar, and when he saw that there was no beast core inside, he turned around and said to Qian San with a smile: "The big steward is amazing, such a big boar will bear fruit with one sword, which is also the start of our hunt today." ”
Qian San waved his hand and said: "It's just a spirit pig who has just entered the Xuan level, what's so powerful about this, you can clean up this pig first, it's not a prey to keep it, and it will be roasted and eaten when camping today." ”
Everyone laughed and agreed, and the little steward put the wild boar into his storage bag, and the monk of Duanwangfu continued to walk forward, all the way, just like Qian San said, they encountered some low-level spirit beasts, although the harvest of hunting was a lot, but after hunting dozens of spirit beasts, they got five beast cores, and the most powerful spirit beast encountered was still a wind wolf who had been injured from other roads.
When it was time to camp at night, Qin Wen looked at the map marked and found that he had walked nearly a quarter of the way, that is to say, if he went at this speed, it was estimated that he would be able to pass through Beiyuan in less than four days, and the time to participate in the sacrifice was eight days later, which meant that if everything went well, the time would be more than enough.
However, Qin Wen also understood that the Wanhua Ridge that Lao Gao said in his mouth would definitely not be so easy to pass, since the Huiwang Mansion had done something on the route, it was already certain that he would encounter a powerful spirit beast on the Wanhua Ridge, but what kind of realm the spirit beast was was still uncertain.
At this time, Qin Wen's heart couldn't help but have doubts, in his impression, he had always thought that the royal hunt was just for the royal family to convey a concept of establishing a country by force, and it was a bit too much to divide the area and raise high-level spirit beasts like this.
However, since this is a rule customized by the founding emperor of Daqi back then, now even an old man like Lao Gao, who has been in the palace for many years, has no evidence, and it is even more difficult for him to know why he set this rule back then.
The bonfire in front of him was still flickering and flickering, and Lao Gao sent a roasted wild boar meat to Qin Wen and said, "Qin Xian, this meat is cooked, what are you still thinking?"
After Qin Wen took the barbecue, he shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I just feel that there are some problems with this Beiyuan hunting, since it is a hunting, how can we still fix the route, so this time, for safety, can't we also go from behind to other roads?"
Lao Gao shook his head slightly and said: "The route has been fixed, as long as you enter this route, unless you exit according to the original route, otherwise, there is a formation barrier between this route and other routes, and I also found this when I checked my notes." ”
"One of the two royal children who were killed back then couldn't run to another road because of this formation barrier, and that spirit beast also used a strong yuan force to tear the formation barrier after killing this group of teams, and met another group of teams. ”
Qin Wen also understood at this time, it seems that the two royal children who died last time Lao Gao said, it should be that even the team they brought was wiped out, but since there is a formation barrier, the matter of the route is easy to explain, but this kind of royal hunting method is the first time Qin Wen has seen it, and the doubts in his heart have still not been answered.
After a night of casual breathing in the mountains and forests, when the sky was light, the people of Duanwangfu started another day's journey, or the same as yesterday, led by Qian San more than a dozen monks in front of the way, Xiang Hao and Qin Wen surrounded the people, after the fluctuation of spiritual power, and then Qian San arranged the round-up of Jihua according to the strength of the spirit beast.
The hunting on the second day was still calm, although it was higher than the spirit beast realm encountered on the first day, but it was still within the control of Qian San, but in the afternoon, the team of Duanwangfu had already walked within the area of Wanhualing, so the team was more cautious, and the speed was slightly slower than on the first day.
At night, it is still the time to camp, although you can see the black mountains of Wanhualing in the distance, but the people in Duanwangfu are still interested, and the barbecue on the bonfire makes everyone eat with a mouthful of oil, except that they can't drink, there is no difference from a group of people going to the suburbs for a picnic.
On another road, the team of King Hui's Mansion was also camping, in comparison, their speed was slower than that of Duanwang's Mansion, and they hunted more spirit beasts, and they also injured the guards in the two mansions, but these did not affect King Hui's interest, although the guards and worshippers below could not drink, but King Hui and Li Yi still drank a few cups in the makeshift tent.
Xiang Kuang, who was accompanying him below, smelled the rich aroma of wine, and couldn't help but swallow a few times, and King Hui put down the wine glass in his hand at this time and said: "Li Feng, according to the itinerary, the people from the Wangfu should have entered Wanhualing today, I don't know if the spirit beasts we arranged this time can scare them away." ”
Li Yi smiled slightly and said: "Not to mention that there are two Xuanshi upper-level monks in Duanwang's Mansion this time, even if they add twenty more Xuanshi upper-level monks to them, after detecting the spirit beast, they will know the difficulty and retreat, and then the prince will be able to surrender without a fight." ”
Xiang Kuang was a little unwilling to say: "Father, why don't you just find a spirit beast to slaughter their team this time, why do you have to leave Xiang Hao a chance to live, although he can't participate in the selection of dragon jue after he returns, but it is difficult to guarantee whether he will have any thoughts when he is a child." ”
"What are you thinking?" After listening to Xiang Kuang's words, King Hui's face couldn't help but show anger, and he casually thickened the sound barrier in the tent before he spoke: "Do you know how much risk my father paid for this Beiyuan hunt? ”
"Now the saint should not suspect that I arranged the hunt to Jihua in Beiyuan, so the preparations we made in the route setting are safe, once Xiang Hao dies in this hunt, although it is said that the Duanwang Mansion is completely annihilated, what will the other royal children who are competitive with you think?"
Li Yi next to him saw that Xiang Kuang still had a puzzled expression, so he took a sip of the wine in the cup, and then said: "If the royal family dies again in the Beiyuan hunt, the Holy Lord will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and then other palaces will add fuel to the fire, and it will be difficult for your father to do it." ”
