Chapter 184: The First Nameplate
Chapter 184: The First Nameplate
Qingqiu Ridge, the paradise of beast hunters, the hell of spirit beasts.
There are many varieties of spirit beasts on the Qingqiu Ridge, and the number of them is like cow hair, and the warriors frequently go to the mountain to hunt beasts, and the number of spirit beasts has not decreased sharply.
It seems that the spirit beasts on the Qingqiu Ridge are inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
This is not the case.
The Qingzhou warriors formed a default rule, that is, the way and goal of hunting are different in each season of the year.
Spring hunting is searching, summer hunting is seedlings, autumn hunting is hunting, and winter hunting is hunting.
In spring, unconceived spirit animals can be hunted in a planned manner; summer and autumn are the seasons for crops to grow and be obtained, and spirit birds and spirit animals that trample on crops should be hunted; and in winter, everything is dormant and can be hunted on a large scale.
Hunting and protection are combined, and the spirit beasts are hunted in a state of maintaining natural balance, and they do not do stupid things such as drying up and fishing.
The trial location for rookies in Qingzhou is Qingqiuling.
In previous years, spirit beasts were hunted, and the ranking was determined by points according to the level of spirit beasts, and this year's rules are a bit unbelievable.
Because this year's Qingqiuling trial has nothing to do with the level and number of hunting beasts, the spirit beasts are just a stumbling block during the trial, and the contestants hunt to live, and it has nothing to do with the ranking.
The main task of this trial competition is to find the one hundred trial nameplates hidden by the Qingzhou Martial Academy on the Qingqiu Ridge, and finally rank them according to the number of nameplates.
The nameplate is made of residual maple black wood by the Martial Arts Academy, and it is engraved with a unique anti-counterfeiting imprint, which cannot be counterfeited.
As soon as the rules of this year's competition were announced, many people were suspicious and dissatisfied.
Warriors are not better than hunting beasts on Qingqiu Ridge, and they are better than finding hidden nameplates, this is not deliberately making things difficult for people.
Who came up with the bad idea?
It's not that they complain, the key is that martial arts cultivation is inherently inferior to soul cultivation, and to find a nameplate, you must have super induction.
Asking a group of martial cultivators to find the nameplate is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
It seems that this is a competition tailored for soul cultivation, but this is a competition organized by the Qingzhou Martial Arts Academy, how can there be rules for cheap soul cultivation?
Oppose!
Resolutely opposed!
Because the rules were changed the day before the game, all the sects were caught off guard, and when they reacted to denounce the Martial Academy, the Martial Academy not only dismissed it, but also made additional rules that made them jaw-dropping.
This competition is sponsored by the Qingzhou Martial Arts Institute, and all interpretation rights belong to the Martial Arts Institute.
It sounds very polite, but in fact, it is a sentence to put it bluntly: if you don't want to play, get out, and be less forced!
At the same time, the martial arts academy raised the registration fee for each contestant from 50,000 spirit stones to 100,000, and added a wild card.
As long as each team pays 200,000 spirit stones, they can have one more place with a wild card, of course, a team can have a maximum of three.
There is no way, because the top ten all have different amounts of guaranteed places to enter the Qingzhou Martial Arts Academy, and each sect has a hard mouth and a soft ass, and pays money to participate in the shouting and noisy.
Most of the sects had already set their own participants, and announced that they were out of control, so they could only pay an additional 600,000 spirit stones to buy three wild cards, and these three places were reserved for soul cultivators.
Because soul cultivation is the best guide to find the nameplate.
At this time, people seemed to slowly understand the martial arts academy's change of rules, and they organized this trial tournament into a commercial competition.
The martial arts academy made a lot of money.
There are six trial slots in the first department of the Mansion, and they are one of the few teams that have not bought wild cards.
The participants were Xiao Ge, Li Wuduo, Gongye Shuai, Peng Hao, Xie Kang, Weng Mingxu, and Xiao Ge team leader.
The trial tournament will be extended for a maximum of 10 days, and if all 100 nameplates are found within 10 days, the tournament will end early.
Because every time a nameplate is found, the martial arts academy will detect it as soon as possible.
In order to ensure the safety of each contestant's life, the Martial Arts Academy issued them a life-saving jade plaque, and when danger came, they would be teleported out of Qingqiu Ridge if they crushed the jade plaque.
Of course, this also means losing the qualification to continue playing.
Before entering Qingqiu Ridge, the martial arts academy instructor took out the trial nameplate for everyone to see.
It looks like a piece of scorched wood, carved with many twists and turns, but it will be like a flickering lamp, flickering and emitting a faint light.
It is this faint light that the contestants rely on to find the nameplate.
It's too difficult.
Hiding a hundred nameplates in the vast Qingqiu Mountains, there is only one in a range of hundreds of kilometers on average, so there is a lot of luck in finding the nameplate.
If there is not a single nameplate hidden on the search line, ten days will be useless.
After the group of six people entered Qingqiu Ridge, Xiao Ge always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at their backs, and when he turned his head to look, he couldn't see anything except the vast grass and trees.
Searching for the nameplate, the six people can't get too close, but they can't be too far away for safety, and they are only about ten meters away from each other.
Suddenly, Weng Mingxu screamed in horror.
After everyone heard this, they quickly moved closer, only to see Weng Mingxu's lips black and swollen, his pupils dilated, and his face spasmed.
It is clearly a symptom of poisoning.
Weng Mingxu swallowed a detoxification pill in fright, and then pointed to a tree and screamed.
He wanted to convey a dangerous message, but his tongue was swollen like a pig, and he couldn't pronounce at all.
Everyone looked at the trunk of the tree, but there was nothing.
But Weng Mingxu's anxious expression was obviously that something had attacked him.
At this moment, everyone noticed a strange phenomenon.
Two pieces of bark moved.
It was later discovered that it was not the bark of a tree, but two animals that resembled the bark of a tree in shape and color.
They have a long cylindrical body with flat sides, a helmet-shaped head with three long horns sticking out from the front, and two eyes that are bulging outward.
At this moment their long tails are wrapped around the trunk of the tree, their bodies are stretched, their throats bulge, their heads are erect, and they are swaying from side to side, and their tongues, which exceed their body length, stick out like a sharp sword that can be stabbed at someone else.
"Don't be afraid, this is evasion, it deliberately pretends to be vicious to scare people, in order to get people out of its occupied area. It seems that these two evasors are •••••• in love, and Weng Mingxu will be attacked if they disturb them!"
Wuduo was beside him, and Xiao Ge was embarrassed to say that he was mating in avoidance, so he replaced it with love.
"I was curious to see how the two pieces of bark were stacked on top of each other, and when I reached out and pulled them, my long tongue struck my tongue like lightning. ”
Weng Mingxu was well injured after taking the Detoxification Pill, and he was already able to speak, but his anger did not subside.
As he spoke, he unleashed his Xuan soldiers, and in a single stroke, he cut the two evasives into four.
The True Transformation Realm martial artist was much stronger than these two second-order evasions, and if it wasn't for a surprise attack, he wouldn't have been able to hurt him at all.
Xiao Ge frowned and said: "Everyone be careful, there are many such spirit beasts in the woods, they can change their body color to be the same as the surrounding environment, and at the same time, it is also convenient for hunting." In particular, some aggressive spirit beasts, such as spirit mantises, spirit sniggers, etc., may be fatal with one blow. At the same time, the six of us walked together, my soul power sensing range is large, and there are nameplates around me, I should be able to sense it. ”
This time, the six of them were cautious and slowly groped their way forward.
After walking for a while, Xiao Ge sensed the light of the nameplate, but it was a flash.
Xiao Ge accelerated the release of his soul power, closed his eyes and sensed, and found a trace of light, but the position was not fixed and was constantly changing.
What's going on?
A change in the position of the light indicates that the nameplate is moving.
The nameplate is a dead object and does not move on its own, it moves to indicate that it has been found.
However, if someone finds it, it will definitely be stored in the storage equipment, and the light of the nameplate will not be visible.
This shows that it is not a person who finds the nameplate.
Even people are people who don't have storage equipment.
Anyway, lock on to the target and go to see what happens.
Xiao Ge quickly locked on the range and said loudly: "Everyone follow me, I found a nameplate." ”
A few ups and downs, six people rushed to the front.
The blackwood nameplate lay quietly on the branch, the faint light flickering and flickering, like a blinking star.
"Haha! or our luck!"
Weng Mingxu let out a long roar and said excitedly: "Wait for me to take down the first nameplate!"
"Don't move, it's dangerous!"
Xiao Ge pulled Weng Mingxu over and said, "We are surrounded!"
Gongye Shuai and the other four were shocked, and immediately took out their weapons and looked left and right, looking for the people who surrounded them.
Only the five flowers remained motionless and smiled as if nothing happened.
"Don't move, everyone, I've set up the royal array, and I'll take the nameplate. ”
After Xiao Ge finished speaking, he disappeared suddenly, and then he came back with an extra black wood nameplate in his hand.
Everyone looked at the nameplate curiously, and then heard the sound of wings vibrating, only to see many spirit mantis wearing green armor jumping down from the tree.
It turned out that it was not a human being who surrounded them, but a spirit mantis.
