Chapter 162: Fire Energy Hunting Competition Against Tiangang
The vast forest is filled with all kinds of monsters. Every once in a while, a monster with a fierce aura rushes out of the forest and roars at the formation of gryphon beasts in the sky. Occasionally, there will be some flying monsters chasing after them. However, whenever these monsters approach the formation a hundred meters away, they will be frightened and retreat by the tyrannical aura gushing out from the bodies of the four Huqian people.
Of course, there were also some powerful monsters that ignored the oppressive momentum of Hu Qian and the others and charged at the Griffin beast formation. At this time, Hu Qian and the three old men began to show their shocking With endless strength, every time he waved his hand, the powerful energy streaked across the sky like thunder. Immediately, everyone heard a muffled sound, and those huge monsters exploded into blood that filled the sky, flying down.
Along the way, all kinds of ferocious monsters came one after another, but there was still no monster that could pass through the blockade of Hu Qian and the four people.
The students were both shocked and envious of this. Judging from the aura, almost most of these monsters had the power to compete with each of them. However, even so, they were still defeated by the actions of Hu Qian and others. Turning into blood mist, such power is really coveted.
Xiao Yuan was quite normal about this. After all, he was someone who had fought against the powerful Dou Huang, so naturally he wouldn't make a fuss like other students.
In this way, nearly an hour later, the flying speed of the gryphon formation finally slowed down. Feeling the slowdown, Xiao Yuan glanced ahead. However, except for a deep place under his feet, he could not see anything. Except for the mountain stream at the bottom, there is still endless green shade in other places. Let alone the inner courtyard, there is not a single person.
Xiao Yuan subconsciously released Ting Feng Yin, and after a moment, as expected, he sensed nothing.
"landing!"
The fierceness in Hu Qian's eyes gradually faded, and the tyrannical aura that had risen from his body quietly retracted. He waved to the flying formation with a smile, and the ten gryphon beasts spread their wings and slowly faced each other. The opposite side of the mountain stream below fell.
As the gryphon beast formation landed safely, figures jumped down one after another at Hu Qian's signal, crowding the open space. Everyone looked around with confusion on their faces.
"Where is this? Is the inner courtyard right here?"
After landing, Hu Jia was the first to lose his temper and hurriedly asked Hu Qian. When the others heard this question, they all turned their attention to Hu Qian.
"The inner courtyard is not so easy to enter." Hu Qian smiled meaningfully, and then, under the gaze of everyone, he slowly walked forward for about ten steps, paused in his steps, raised his hand and waved, a blast of energy It shot out from his hand and finally shot into the space in front of him.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, a certain space that was hit by energy caused ripples like water waves. These ripples fluctuated rapidly, and finally a pale silver door that was seven or eight feet tall appeared out of thin air!
Everyone was shocked when they looked at the strangely appearing silver door. Obviously, they didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary place could actually hide such a mystery.
Under the gaze of everyone, the silver door slowly opened with a crisp sound. The scene behind the door was as dense as ever, and seemed to be no different from the dense forest seen in front of them.
"follow me."
After waving his hand, Hu Qian took the lead and walked towards the silver gate.
Xiao Yuan knew that this was some kind of method of using the power of space, and he immediately pulled Xiao Yu to follow him.
Xiao Yan was a little curious about this magical method, so he stopped to observe for a while, but found that the back of his third brother disappeared after stepping into the silver door!
"What a strange method!"
This scene made Xiao Yan shake his head in amazement, but after thinking about the folds of space in front of the library, he suddenly realized that the methods of those super powerful people were indeed difficult to understand at their current level.
After marveling in his heart, Xiao Yan pulled Xun'er and followed him.
After everyone, including the ten griffons, entered the silver door, the door slowly closed tightly. The last ripples of silver energy spread out, and the silver door gradually dissipated and finally disappeared completely.
Stepping through the silver door, Xiao Yuan felt dazed. His feet were on the ground. He glanced forward, only to find that the scene in front of him was still the same as the previous forest. However, there At the entrance of the forest, two old men and several middle-aged men appeared at some unknown time. In addition, behind them, there were nearly twenty young people standing. Xiao Yuan glanced over them and found that behind them On their chests, they all wear a badge with a tower-like pattern engraved on it.
"Haha, old man Hu, you are always so punctual. I ask you to escort the new students, so I can rest assured. How are the new students this year?"
At this time, one of the two old men saw the large group of people coming in and smiled at the leader Hu Qian.
"It's very good. The overall level is better than last year. The top ones probably already have the potential to hit the top list." Hu Qian smiled when he heard this and said, "I didn't expect it would be your turn this year. I’m on duty, it seems I’m quite tired.”
"No way." The two old men shook their heads helplessly.
"Six of you, come here."
Hu Qian turned around and waved to Xiao Yuan and the others. After seeing them approaching, he pointed at the two old men and said:
"These two are the elders of the inner courtyard. This is Elder Su, and the other is Elder Qing. If you have any problems in the inner courtyard, you can come to them in the future. Haha, these six little guys are the top five in this year's selection. Famous, very capable.”
"Oh?" Hearing this, the two elders glanced at the six people with a little surprise, and said doubtfully: "At such an age, you can get into the top five. Your potential is indeed much better than the previous one, but you are Why are there six people in the top five? Isn’t it against the rules?”
"Ahem, there is nothing we can do. You will know when the time comes that this matter must be in compliance with the rules. Don't worry!"
Hearing this, Hu Gan coughed dryly and then spoke to assure himself.
"okay."
Seeing Hu Qian say this, the two elders also nodded and stopped worrying about the matter.
"Oh, what a beautiful girl. It seems that there are two more beauties in the inner courtyard." After the six Xiao Yuan and others came out, the eyes of the young people standing behind the middle-aged people suddenly lit up. Whistling and laughing.
"Shut up, whoever talks nonsense, five days of tower repair time will be deducted!" Elder Su turned around and scolded, and those young people immediately stopped talking with playful faces. Obviously, the so-called deduction of tower repair time made They are extremely afraid.
After scolding the group of young people who dared not say anything, Elder Su turned his head and said slowly to Xiao Yuan and the new students: "You are all new here. I hope you can adapt to this place as much as possible. In that case , you will get great benefits. Look at these bastards. Although they passed the selection competition of the outer courtyard in the past years, they were only ranked at the bottom. But now it is only one year. I dare say that their strength is among you. Definitely going to be in the top ten.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was slightly startled and turned his attention to those young people. After a quick look, he realized that what Elder Su said was true. The strength of these young people was indeed good. Even if they worked together, they would not be his opponents. , but it is not difficult to deal with the students behind him.
Considering that these people were only ranked low in the selection competition in previous years, but now they have made such a huge improvement, it is enough to see how the strength of these people has improved by leaps and bounds after entering the inner court.
Fire energy, Qi Refining Tower, Fallen Heart Flame.
Thinking about the long-standing memories in his mind, Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.
It wasn't until Elder Su raised his palm and threw out a large handful of pitch black chips, causing them to float in front of everyone, that Xiao Yuan came to his senses and reached out to hold it in his hand.
After taking the chip, Xiao Yuan immediately felt a strange heat seeping out of it. He immediately lowered his head and looked at it carefully. On top of the chip, there was a transparent mirror with a big red letter printed on it: "five"!
Fire crystal card?
Looking at the chip in his hand, Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to put it back into the ring, he noticed that the group of young people standing behind the middle-aged man in front of him were looking at the dark chip in his and others' hands with burning eyes. , an unabashed look of covetousness emerged in his eyes.
Want fire power? What a coincidence, I want it too!
Xiao Yuan smiled slightly in his heart, and immediately put the fire crystal card into the ring.
"It's quite troublesome to explain this thing. You will understand it naturally in the future. However, you only need to know one thing now, and that is to keep the chip in your hands as if it were your life. When you enter the inner courtyard, you will Understand its importance to you! Of course, you may understand it by looking at the eyes of these guys."
At the end of the sentence, Elder Su pointed at the group of young people and said with a smile.
Xiao Yuan heard this and turned to look at Xiao Yan, then at Hu Jia and Wu Hao, and then nodded slightly.
Xiao Yan immediately understood and returned a look.
"Next, you need to enter the forest and successfully reach the inner courtyard at the end of the forest." Elder Su's fingers still stayed on the group of young people and said calmly, "And when you travel through this forest, be careful of them! According to the instructions The rules of the inner court are that in this forest, they can attack you at will, which means they can attack you.
Remember, the number on the chip in your hand is very tempting to them, so they will use all means except killing people to obtain the "fire energy" on your chip. This word will make you feel very uncomfortable in the future. Familiar and cute!
Now, you have to avoid them or defeat them. As long as you don't get caught by them and successfully reach the inner courtyard, you will have the final reward. The earlier you arrive, the richer the reward will be! "
After saying that, Elder Su suddenly moved his fingers towards the forest behind him, and then said:
“This is considered a trial before entering the inner courtyard, and we also call it the ‘Fire Energy Hunting Competition’!
Now, I announce that this year’s “Fire Energy Hunting Competition” has officially begun! Classmates, start your escape! "
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan came to Hu Jia and Wu Hao together.
"What are you going to do?"
When the two saw the two brothers from the Xiao family surrounding them, they subconsciously became vigilant and asked with a frown.
"I have an idea that I think you two might also be interested in. Do you want to hear it?"
Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"Can you not listen?"
Hu Jia was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked in a low voice.
"that's not allowed!"
Xiao Yuan's smile became brighter and brighter, like a cunning fox.
"Damn, then you're still asking for a shitty opinion!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Jia's pretty face turned into a stern expression, and she cursed.
But her body kept up with Xiao Yuan's pace as he turned around and headed into the forest.
Wu Hao is not a fool. He has already judged some information from what Elder Su said just now. He knows that Xiao Yuan probably wants to win over himself and Hu Jia to form a strong team, so he will naturally not refuse. After all, if the so-called black chip contains If his "fire energy" is really important, with Xiao Yuan's help, he will definitely feel more at ease than other students who want to rely on themselves.
The six people soon came to a secluded jungle and started talking.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Hu Jia asked carelessly. She was no better than Xiao Yuan anyway. Instead of resisting, she might as well cooperate.
Wu Hao on the side also cast a curious look.
"You all heard what Elder Su said just now."
Xiao Yuan nodded when he heard the words, corrected the compiled memories into suitable words in his mind, and then analyzed it seriously:
"Since the fire energy in this black crystal card shows a numerical value and is so coveted by the students in the inner courtyard, it means that this thing is probably some kind of important resource, and its function is probably similar to currency. From a mere Judging from the fact that even five points of fire energy can make them covet, the monetary value of this fire energy is also extremely high!
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, in the inner courtyard, the fire energy is consumed very quickly. Their demand for this fire energy is very great, and it has reached the point where they will not let go of any fire energy! "
Having said this, the other five people all nodded in agreement, and Hu Jia couldn't help but ask: "So should we find a way to reach the finish line quickly? Can't you fly? Why don't you take us to fly directly? Come on!"
Hearing this, Wu Hao on the side couldn't hold himself tight.
After some thinking at noon, he had already guessed that Xiao Yuan's wings were probably from the legendary flying fighting skills. No matter how advanced this kind of thing is, it can't fly with five people, right? Isn't that exhausting? It's okay for people to bring their own girlfriends, but how about bringing outsiders? hehe!
Besides, he also observed just now that although the students in the inner courtyard are strong, he may not be his opponent. He has already fainted before even a fight. What does it look like!
"There's no need. What my brother means is that since the students in the inner courtyard are in such need of fire energy, I'm afraid we can't do much with the fire energy in our hands after entering the inner courtyard. In this case, it's better to use the old students in the inner courtyard to The fire in our hands can be snatched back! After all, the rules don’t say we can’t snatch them away!
Moreover, we need these seniors to explain to us the specific functions of fire energy! "
Xiao Yan couldn't listen anymore and immediately pointed out the implication of Xiao Yuan's words.
"It makes sense! Moreover, our strength is not weak. Together, those old students may not be our opponents!"
Hu Jia suddenly understood after hearing this. He patted his smooth forehead, raised a smile on his lips, and said confidently.
"Well, if you don't have any objections, how about I command the team and share all the profits equally?"
Seeing Wu Hao on the side, Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement and suggested with a smile.
"I have no opinion."
Wu Hao saw Xiao Yuan's gaze and expressed his stance directly without hesitation.
"Well, as long as you don't regret it, I don't have any problem with it, but you can't treat us as cannon fodder!"
Hu Jia naturally would not refuse, but he still reminded him with some worry.
"Don't worry. Since I'm actively recruiting you, it's for the sake of common prosperity. I won't burn bridges by crossing rivers."
Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded when he heard this, then raised his eyebrows and then said:
"I sensed a strange aura. I think it's the team from the inner courtyard. Follow me!"
After saying that, Xiao Yuan turned around and sprinted towards the forest behind him.
