Volume 1: The Horns Chapter 27: The Beginning, the Hunt Squad
There are many ups and downs along the way to cultivation, and how arduous the road to cultivation is.
Either endure the hardships and get ahead, or enjoy the comfort of being in front of everyone.
In this era, if you don't have a stronger heart, you will inevitably be buried in the dust of history and the beast tide of a hundred years.
He Huai stood on the high platform, looking at the one hundred and seventy-four people who participated in the big competition below and the thousands of onlookers nearby, Mu Yan was reluctant to show her face, she had more enemies.
"I am very pleased that so many outstanding students have been recruited in recent years, you will be the mainstay of the future on this continent, and it is also very heartbroken, some of you have the talent that others are extremely eager for, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a genius, but in the end it did not reach the ideal height, on the contrary, some students whose talent is not very good, have far surpassed these so-called geniuses under their efforts, this student, report your name, talent and cultivation realm. ”
The student who was called by He Huai took a step forward and said loudly: "My name is Tie Sheng, a native of Lingbi City, a fifty percent talent in the fire department, and a senior level of cultivation for spiritual masters!" His voice was loud, not caring at all about the fact that his fifty percent talent was weaker than most people.
"Tell me about your life"
"The Intermediate Hunters of the Spirit Hunting Guild have killed a total of 384 first-order spirit beasts and 37 second-order spirit beasts. ”
"Do you know why I'm looking for him?, he is the oldest one in the special recruitment class, and his qualifications are also biased towards popularity, and he can go to the ordinary class for another year, and the reason why he entered the special recruitment class is because of his excellent spirit hunting record, and I dare to guarantee that he will not stop in this year, and he will not stop in the future, and he will continue to climb over the barriers in front of him, because he knows the cruelty of this world, and he knows how important strength is to him. ”
Glancing at the crowd around him, He Huai threw out his sharp remarks, " Compared with him, the so-called genius of the special recruitment class, hiding in the city and enjoying the pursuit, secretly complacent when he feels that he has good talent, but he is just a group of wastes who have never seen the world, but in the end he finds that he does not even have the intermediate qualification to enter the spirit master of Dabi; ”
There is no place to be ashamed, the key is that what He Huai said is the truth, an indisputable fact. Spiritual practice is boring, and repeating one thing for a long time will produce feelings of disgust, impatience, and so on.
Like Wang Mo being forcibly taken away by Xiong Qi, who is stronger than himself, this incident always inspires him to move forward, because he doesn't want to leave helplessly because of his weakness.
"Cultivation is always your own business, I don't want to talk about the superfluous, let me announce the rules of the knockout round, there is a forest in the southwest of the academy, where has been cleaned up by the academy teacher, there are only spirit beasts below the third order, but the number is still sufficient, where is the place where you have to experience this knockout competition. Your task is to take a team of six people as a team, live in it for ten days, and ask to hunt fifty first-order spirit beasts and ten second-order spirit beasts. ”
"What if the number of spirit beasts doesn't meet all team requirements?"
"This is exactly what I'm going to say next, free elimination rules, each squad is issued with a special spar and a squad badge, the spar is equipped with special spiritual power, once crushed will release a basic fire flare, there will be a teacher to pick you up, crushing it also means that your team is out, disqualified from participating in the promotion competition; ”
"That's for us to snatch the loot and squad badges?"
"Yes, let's say a premise, it's okay to fight, don't hurt people's lives, there will be teachers secretly patrolling, and once they find out, they will be expelled from the academy immediately. ”
He Huai threw out the last bombshell, "In order to increase the difficulty of the game, I have formed a five-person hunting team, this team is all composed of spirit masters, responsible for "hunting" you, and their task is to send you out. But don't be excited, they will be admitted in three days after you, and learning to hide is a must for you. ”
"That's right, the little smoke bothered you. Mu Chun's voice reached He Huai's ears, the dean had already left, and now he should be at the spirit ape.
"Don't be surprised, I'm just here to listen, by the way, light a cigarette for me again, don't let her take it too hard. ”
"Yes, Dean" He Huai was surprised, the dean actually sensed the situation here with his spiritual power hundreds of miles away, could the dean be able to break through to the Spirit Emperor.
"Remember the rules and don't overstep them. ”
He Huai's words were for everyone present, and even more so for Mu Yan, and it was agreed that Mu Yan only needed to complete the part of hunting spirit beasts, and there was no need to snatch the squad card.
Although he was not as strong as the dean's mental strength, he also sensed that Mu Yan was hiding in a building behind the crowd.
"Dabi!
"Whew"
There were screams of excitement from the crowd of participants. Those who did not participate have taken the step of leaving, they are disqualified from participating, and if they do not work hard, they will soon be surpassed by others.
Wang Mo, as the commander of the team, took the orange-red crystal and the team badge handed over by the teacher. Then with everyone getting on an airship, yes an airship, this is a means of transportation researched by the academy in recent years, driven by the wind and fire beast elixir, which can quickly rise into the air and move, and only need two or three people to control it, I heard that the academy is studying a single airship.
After a two-hour flight, the Apocalypse Spirit squad was dropped to the edge of the forest, where the teacher in charge was located.
The squad enters the elimination jungle of Dabi at the same time and in different positions, which is determined by random lottery.
"Let's go, monkey reconnaissance, I'll go ahead, the ice block left artillery right, the sheep in the middle, and the brave will break behind. ”
Sheep is Yang Zimian's code name, after she joined the team, Wang Mo found a place to fully understand her ability, and gave her a code name by the way, although Yang Zimian refused, he still agreed with it in his heart.
Most of the monkey's reconnaissance range is within ninety degrees in front, the farther the distance, the larger the area, and the surrounding areas can't be detected at all, Wang Mo's spiritual power can reach thirty meters in one direction with dark perception, and the radius is about ten meters if he takes himself as the center, it should be enough to deal with first-order spirit beasts, and it is still not enough to face second-order spirit beasts that are good at speed.
"Let me first talk about my assumption, if we want to successfully advance, we need to gather the mission objectives in another ten days, according to the meaning of the academy, this regional goal is either insufficient or scattered and scattered, so students need to fight each other. ”
"Then what are you talking about, beat them up. "Cheng Yong wants to fight again.
"Okay, then let's make preparations with both hands, monkey, pay attention to the river when you scout, the supplies we bring are not too much, there is no water system, we need to replenish the water source occasionally, I believe there are teams similar to us, and the spirit beasts near the water source are easy to gather for us to hunt." ”
Although there is an ice-based Morley in the team, the ice he makes is condensed with spiritual power, which cannot be taken directly and is easy to dissipate.
"If you encounter a large number of spirit beasts or other teams, come back and don't be discovered. ”
"Don't worry, Brother Mo. ”
"Keep the distance between us and us within 50 meters, otherwise there will be no time to support you if something goes wrong. ”
If something happens within a range of 50 meters, you can hear some movement even if you can't sense it.
After walking like this for about an hour, Wang Mo's team never encountered a spirit beast.
Suddenly, Wang Mo stretched out his hand and palmed five fingers upwards to indicate stop, this is the better action before, and it is also the benefit of him to be in front of the team, so that others can see his movements to make prompts, and there is a person approaching 15 meters in front of him in his induction.
"Brother Mo is me, and I have made a discovery. "It's the monkey scouting back
Wang Mo made a vigilant gesture, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"There is a creek about fifty meters in front of the left, but there is a team that is heading somewhere, and it should be the creek now. ”
"They didn't find out, did they?"
"No, I withdrew when I saw them from afar. ”
"This is the first day of Dabi, and it is not suitable for conflict, so we retreat for a while and go to the right front, taking care not to leave a trace. ”
Following Wang Mo's command, a few people began to detour, and Wang Mo extended all his spiritual power in that direction, and as soon as the other party entered a range of thirty meters, he immediately changed direction.
After walking for another hour, confirming that he was out of the other party's range, Wang Mo made the decision to rest, and for the sake of safety, someone still paid attention to the movements around him.
Suddenly, Wang Mo felt a palpitation, it should be something approaching.
Swept it with mental power, and found nothing.
"Dark perception, not good. ”
Wang Mo ran to Cheng Yong at the back as fast as he could, and at the same time, a black shadow with a strong wind hit Cheng Yong's back, and it was too late for him to react.
"Spirit Skill, Rock Shield" Wang Mo pushed Cheng Yong aside, and at the same time raised a strange earth shield to meet the incoming wind.
The surface of the earth shield is full of stones, like a craggy strange rock. "Dang" Wang Mo was knocked backwards, and the black shadow also let out a "woo" howl, and was hurt, but the black shadow did not retreat, and with the help of the impact of the impact, he turned and rushed to Mo Li next to him.
The impact still reduced its speed, and three white claws could be faintly seen, and the impact also gave Morlie time to react.
"Spirit, Ice Armor" Mo Li released the ice armor as quickly as he could, exposing his shoulder, which was the first to appear ice armor, to the three claws.
"No, it's second-order. It was too late for Wang Mo to shout this sentence. The only one that can invade his own perception range and attack so quickly is a second-order spirit beast.
The white claws slashed across the ice armor on Morley's shoulder, and only a little barrier broke through the barrier and landed on Morley's skin.
"Stab", three bloody wounds were drawn along with the clothes on his shoulders, and Mo Li snorted in pain and couldn't help but scream.
The rock shield that knocked back Wang Mo cut through Mo Li's ice armor again, and the attacker's speed finally slowed down
"You are looking for death, Lingfa, Jin Fenghand" Cheng Yong finally came to make a move, and the hand knife that shone with metallic light ran towards the attacker's head.
"Poof" hand, head dropped, grunt on the ground, brought out a blood flower.
"It's a second-order spirit beast Peerless Shadow Cat, good at sneak attacks, very fast, it seems that it has been eyeing us for a long time. Wang Mo shook his arm that was a little sore, the speed of the Shadow Cat's sneak attack was very fast, it was a short-distance charge, and the strength was not small.
"Brother Bing Cube, you are injured, bear with me and I will help you treat it immediately. Yang Zimian almost didn't cry when she saw the three blood marks on Mo Li's shoulder.
"No, let's do a rough bandage, call the monkeys, get out of here, the bloody gas will attract other predators. ”
Cheng Yong split the corpse of the Shadow Cat with Jin Feng's hand, found the Spirit Beast Pill, washed his hands with water, and carried Mo Li with one hand, and Sun Yan also found the monkey back.
"Monkey, find a safe place and go"
"There's a clearing over there. ”
"Go"
Wang Mo carefully swept the surroundings with his dark perception, and only after making sure that there was no danger did he ask Yang Zimian to treat Mo Li.
Yang Zimian opened the blood-soaked gauze, and the wound was frozen by Mo Li with ice spiritual power, and it was not bleeding, and it looked a little white.
Yang Zimian used the wood-based spiritual power to slowly melt the ice slag frozen in the wound before starting to treat. The claws of the Shadow Cat are not long, and after breaking through the ice armor, there are only three shallow scars, and the wounds begin to scab over after a while.
"At the break, the ice and the sheep came out, and we took turns to keep watch. ”
