Chapter 252 Autumn Hunt Begins
June 18th, the beginning of autumn. It is the day when the annual autumn hunt begins.
There is no special ceremony, nor a grand declaration.
The Blue Flame Empire only issued a statement that from now on, for a period of one month, all teleportation arrays leading to the border of the Demon Country will be free of charge. Similarly, all the border defenses of the Demon Country will be opened, allowing free entry and exit, which is considered to have opened the curtain for the autumn hunt.
The most majestic pass on the border between the Blue Flame Empire and the Demon Country, the Monster Pass, has a flow of more than dozens of times more people than in the past.
The Monster Pass is the largest city on the border between the Blue Flame Empire and the Demon Country. All other city passes are newly built with it as the center.
In the battle for the saint that takes place every five hundred years, the two tribes of the demon and the human have reached a tacit understanding that no matter who is the defeated party, they will use more resources to retain the land that will be divided out, so as to ensure the living space of the tribe.
Resources can be regenerated if they are gone, but land may not be taken back if it is lost.
Therefore, the Monster Pass is the first pass for the human race to resist the monster race. It is said that there are more than five powerful warriors guarding the Monster Pass!
Every spring and autumn hunting, the trade here is particularly prosperous, and there are merchants selling daily necessities and purchasing special products of the Monster Country.
Mo Qingkuang and his party have arrived here. After replenishing their supplies for survival in the wild, they left the Monster Pass.
"Brother Mo, you will command?" After walking out of the pass, Chen Kong, who finally recovered from his serious injury, handed a copy of the "Monster Country Border Area Map" in his hand to Mo Qingkuang.
Although Chen Kong is strong and has enough prestige, he is not good at commanding. In short, he has the talent of a general but not a commander.
During this period, he was seriously injured. Mo Qingkuang supported the team of the Imperial College alone and repeatedly won glory for the Imperial College. His reputation has been close to Chen Kong.
In the absence of Chen Kong, other brothers are also willing to follow Mo Qingkuang's lead.
Now Hanshu has no combat power and has not participated in the war. The Imperial College team has only nine people, and should be commanded by the most outstanding and intelligent person.
Unsurprisingly, Chen Kong chose to give up power to Mo Qingkuang, and he also had a free time.
Mo Qingkuang nodded, not hypocritical, he also did not like to obey other people's orders, even if that person was Chen Kong.
Taking the map: "Since Brother Chen entrusted it, I will accept this task. Brothers, this place is not like the Imperial College. I am in a foreign country and surrounded by the people of the empire. I don't want us to encounter serious dangers because of not obeying the command."
Then his face turned cold and he said seriously: "From now on, everyone, obey my command, including Brother Chen Kong! Regardless of whether there are objections, they must be executed unconditionally, otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"
After that, Mo Qingkuang looked at everyone coldly and said lightly: "If you are dissatisfied, you can stand up now. I will give you a chance to challenge. When the team sets out, there will be no chance."
The other seven people shuddered at Mo Qingkuang's eyes.
When Mo Qingkuang was a first-grade master, he could tie with Chen Kong, a third-grade master. Now that he is a second-grade master, Chen Kong is probably not his opponent.
How dare his so-called senior brothers, who are not spirits and even some of them are still in the martial arts realm, challenge Mo Qingkuang?
Fortunately, Mo Qingkuang's wisdom has been proven, and it is not unacceptable to follow his command.
Especially Li Sheng, who was recently conquered by Mo Qingkuang, was the first to respond: "I have no objection!"
Hearing Li Sheng's statement, everyone followed suit: "We have no objection."
Mo Qingkuang nodded and spread out the map in his hand. The map was obtained from the Blue Flame Royal Academy. Its accuracy is much more accurate than the medicine sold by various merchants in this monster pass.
It is drawn from the information collected by countless students of the Blue Flame Royal Academy who participated in the autumn hunt countless times. Which types of monsters appear in each location, which places have stronger monsters, and which places are prone to rare treasures, are all densely marked.
Pointing to a certain place, he said: "This is the Monster Pass! The territory of the monster tribe is no smaller than the territory of our Tianxuan and Lanyan countries."
"Go all the way north, the outermost circle is the safest and the most barren, where first-level monsters generally live, and it is about 500 miles deep."
"In my opinion, this kind of monster has no meaning at all. We pass through it as quickly as possible and enter the second layer! The second layer is 1,000 miles deep, and most of the monsters living there are second or third levels, with strength equivalent to martial artists and grandmasters, which we can deal with."
"I suggest that we take root in the second circle and collect as much supplies as possible. Whether it is spiritual medicine or monster inner pills, the more the better. As for deeper circles, we will not consider them for the time being."
Mo Qingkuang's meaning is very simple, life is important, and after each battle, a certain amount of combat effectiveness must be preserved!
On the battlefield of autumn hunting, the most terrifying thing is often not the monster, but the human heart.
Everyone nodded when they heard this, agreeing with Mo Qingkuang's general policy.
The level classification of monsters is basically the same as the realm classification of humans. The first-level monsters are equivalent to the warriors of the human race, the second-level monsters are equivalent to the martial masters, and so on. The tenth-level monsters are the legendary martial gods.
Not only are the martial gods of the human race in legends, but the tenth-level monsters of the monster race have also been in legends.
When monsters break through the shackles and reach the sixth level or above, their strength is enough to rival the martial kings, and they have the ability to transform.
Level 6 demon beasts can transform into human form and speak human language. Therefore, the core circle of the demon country basically has the same lifestyle as humans.
The strength of level 2 and 3 demon beasts only corresponds to the two realms of martial arts master and master. With Mo Qingkuang and Chen Kong, they don't need to worry about life danger.
"Okay, speed up. Let's go north for 500 miles first, quickly pass through the first circle, and start exploring from west to east after entering the second circle." Mo Qingkuang swiped on the map and made a few gestures.
The places where his fingers swiped were the fixed growth locations of spiritual medicines marked on the map. Mo Qingkuang planned to take these people to try their hands in these places explored by predecessors.
"Brother Chen, what do you think?" After saying that, Mo Qingkuang still asked Chen Kong for his opinion.
After all, Chen Kong is the eldest brother and has a high prestige.
"I listen to you." Chen Kong didn't want to command. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the general direction currently set by Mo Qingkuang, he naturally wouldn't take the lead in questioning the authority of Mo Qingkuang's command.
He was the one who got the position of commander, so of course he couldn't ruin Mo Qingkuang's position.
Seeing that Chen Kong was very supportive of him, Mo Qingkuang nodded and put the map into the Xumi Ring.
"Li Sheng, you go ahead and explore the way, and report back every fifty miles! Don't worry about the recovery pills, I'll reimburse you."
"The rest of you follow me, let's go!"
