The area of the Shadow Forest is three times larger than the Taibai Kingdom!
More than 19 million square kilometers.
Thinking about how many animals live in such a dense jungle makes one's head spin.
In addition, it is not only animals that can evolve by bathing in starlight, but also plants...
Even if technological weapons do not fail, it is still a luxury for people to bulldoze such a dangerous place.
Of course, there will be fights and fights between ferocious beasts and monsters from time to time.
Human beings are not the enemy of all ferocious beasts and monsters.
only……
For millions of years, humans have been the overlord of Gaia, and their opponents have always been all ethnic groups.
Because of this, they will face the most severe challenges.
If the human race is willing to shrink its territory and give up more than half of its territory, it will be enough to ensure peace of mind.
But with the arrival of the Star God and the rapid evolution of the human race and other races in Gaia, if the human race really did this, they would undoubtedly have given up a great opportunity.
When humans slow down their evolution in order to seek comfort, and when those monsters stand out from the intense evolution, humans will definitely lose their position as the overlord of Gaia.
At that time, humans were the new overlords, just like the king of beasts who were now almost exterminated by humans and could only watch in the zoo.
"Over the years, we have entered the Shadow Forest countless times and want to restore this land, but... the Shadow Forest is too big, and the manpower we can use is too little."
Su Mai said: "The only thing we can do is to draw a red line for those ferocious beasts and monsters that are gradually gaining wisdom, and let them know that if they dare to step outside this line, a thunderous death blow will surely await them."
Tuoba Hai and Zhao Xingge stared at the map, their eyes gradually becoming serious.
"This area is your competition range. We call it Snake Valley."
Su Mai directly circled a piece of land with a diameter of about 100,000 square kilometers: "This area has been plowed by the Tianyuan Federation several times this year. There are almost no powerful ferocious beasts or monsters. In addition, they are still there."
A town was built here to serve as a nail to encroach on the Shadow Forest. Under certain circumstances, this area is safe."
"In other words... there will be unexpected situations?"
Li Midao.
"certainly."
Su Mai nodded: "Hunting ferocious beasts and monsters is not just a game. Danger is everywhere and can come at any time. You must adapt to this. Habits and accidents happen unexpectedly. Someone has already sorted it out for you around this town.
Several times, accidents have been minimized. If you still die due to accidents under such circumstances... you can only blame your own bad luck."
He glanced at Su Feiyu: "In the face of accidents, everyone is equal."
Li Mu listened and didn't ask any more questions.
Tuoba Hai and Zhao Xingge also felt tremendous pressure.
According to Su Mai, even His Highness the Sixth Prince might have died due to an accident, let alone them?
"The rules of the competition... there are almost no rules. You will get an instrument when the time comes."
Su Maidao: "In this area, the time is half a month. In half a month, or if you feel that your scores are about the same, you can end the competition early. For at most half a month, you need to continue to hunt ferocious beasts.
, monsters, each ferocious beast, monster will have different points, and the ten people with the highest points will be the top ten in the world's best martial arts competition!"
"Is it free hunting?"
Tuoba Hai was stunned: "What if the two of them join forces?"
"Not allowed."
Su Mai said directly: "There are only two competition rules. The first one is that no high-level or higher star weapons can be used. The second one is that contestants must face ferocious beasts and monsters alone to achieve the purpose of assessment. There are no other rules!"
"The ferocious beasts and monsters in this area have been plowed several times. Can I understand that there are not many ferocious beasts in this area anymore?"
Li Midao.
"Don't worry, the Monitoring Department estimates that there are still thousands of them, enough for more than a hundred of you to hunt."
Su Maidao.
"No, what I mean is, since there are only the above two rules, if I am unlucky and cannot encounter a ferocious beast or monster for a few hours, or even a day or two, can I leave the competition area and compete?
Are you searching for ferocious beasts and monsters outside the area?”
Li Mu looked at him.
When Su Mai heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then gave an accurate response: "Okay!"
He smiled: "But after leaving this area that has been plowed several times, the probability of you encountering powerful ferocious beasts will be greatly increased. When the rescuers receive your abandonment call for help, it will also take time to rescue you.
More time, so it depends on whether you have enough courage by then."
As soon as these words came out, even the sixth princess Su Feiyu glanced at Li Mu.
She obviously knew all the rules of the World's Best Martial Arts Competition in advance, but this one...
But she hadn't even thought about it.
"I can tell you that the ferocious beasts in the shadow forest are basically cat demons, snowmen, giant spiders, piranha, red-blooded snakes, tiger-striped pythons and the like."
Su Mai said: "Based on the qi, blood and body values that we are most familiar with, these ferocious beasts and cat monsters are roughly equivalent to warriors with qi and blood of 30 and above, snowmen with 35, giant spiders with 40, red-blooded snakes with 50, tiger-striped pythons with 55, etc.
wait."
He paused: "Of course, ordinary people who have never practiced martial arts have qi and blood ranging from 10 to 20. The same ferocious beasts are naturally stronger and weaker. What I am talking about is only the most basic strength, which is the unit of 10 in human qi and blood.
, the base number of real ferocious beasts is higher than these numbers, so if you think you have seen a cat demon and rush forward with confidence and are careless, you will only die without even leaving any bones."
"Can the instruments we are assigned to distinguish the strength of monsters and give different points?"
Tuoba Haidao.
"Unfortunately, we can't. A cat demon with 30 HP will have 17 points, and a cat demon with 60 HP will also have 17 points. For a warrior, observing the ferocious beast and judging its strength is not inferior to one's own strength.
An important part of the assessment.”
Su Maidao.
Before a warrior embarks on the path of a star refiner, his main function is to detect the location of ferocious beasts and monsters, so observation skills are crucial.
"Before the top ten are determined, your main opponents are not the contestants, but ferocious beasts and monsters... That's why I said that you should avoid these people and try not to conflict with them, no matter who of you is here
If you win the battle, you will inevitably be injured. Then when you hunt the beast, the monster will become very passive."
Su Mai said, looking at Li Ma emphatically: "I know, you seem to like fighting against strong people, but if your points can be ranked in the top ten, the other nine people will be enough for you to fight happily, but if the top ten
I can't even qualify, and I missed the stage to truly enter the world's best martial arts competition and compete for the first place. Isn't it a regret in life?"
"I know."
Li Mu nodded.
During this period of time, I have become a little tired of fighting with warriors. I just want to fight ferocious beasts and feel the difference between fighting ferocious beasts and fighting warriors.
"Li Ma, I am actually more optimistic about you than Feiyu. Although you two are both divine and quasi-martial arts saints,... she has experienced too few life-and-death battles."
Su Maidao: "Although when we trained her, she had to fight life and death with death row prisoners, but even if she killed more than one powerful opponent, some people were watching and no one was watching, the concept is still completely different, and you... are
You really rely on your own strength to achieve it bit by bit, so if you can really break into the top ten, I can make you a promise."
He smiled and said: "You have already felt the wonderful effects of the three top star weapons in Jiangzhou Xinghui Palace, right?"
After hearing this, Li Ma's eyes suddenly lit up: "If I break into the top ten, His Highness Su will give me a set of top star weapons?"
"Well……"
Su Mai's expression stiffened.
A set of top-notch star tools!?
Top-level star weapons are different from high-level star weapons. They are national strategic objects and are extremely precious.
He quickly said: "It's not a gift, but it's for your use!"
He added: "If you can reach the top ten in the world's best martial arts competition, I can make the decision to give you a set of the same top-notch star weapon for you to use for three years!"
"Three years...then what if I win the top three?"
Li Mu asked.
"Top three?"
Su Mai smiled and said: "With your age, if you can really reach the top three, you will definitely be awarded the title of Dragon Son by Longmen Pavilion. By then, you will have all the top star weapons."
Li Mu was still looking at Prince Su, waiting for his next words.
Su Mai saw that Dahaha seemed to be confused, and considering that if Li Ma could really enter the top three in the youth group of the world's best martial arts competition at the age of twenty-three...
"I'll give it to you directly!"
This prince is open-minded.
"Thank you."
Li Ma smiled slightly.
"You are very confident."
Su Feiyu looked at Li Mu: "The top three will definitely be decided between Cheng Yufeng, Sun Shengzi, Zhao Yushi, Song Wuya, and Duan Yidao. If you want to win the top three, you must defeat at least three of them.
Talent has hope.”
"This is exactly my goal in participating in the world's best martial arts competition."
Li Ma smiled and said: "If possible, I hope that I do not defeat three of the five of them, but..."
His eyes swept over the information: "Defeat them all."
"Ah."
As soon as Mrs. Li finished speaking, Tuoba Hai couldn't help but laugh.
But then, Li Fei and Su Feiyu's eyes fell on him at the same time, causing him to calm down immediately.
"Is it funny?"
Su Feiyu said in a cold tone.
"No...no."
Tuoba Hai said quickly.
"snort."
The Martial Saint Tuoba Feng on the side also snorted in dissatisfaction.
Tuoba Hai is his nephew, and he is also a junior whom he has high hopes for, but this behavior...
It really disappointed him.
Su Mai ignored Tuoba Hai and Zhao Xingge, who were just making up the numbers, and continued to tell Li Ma some things to note about this world's best martial arts competition.
It wasn't until the train was about to arrive at the station that Li Ming, Tuoba Hai, and Zhao Xingge were asked to go back, pack their luggage, and prepare to get off.
After they all left, Su Mai turned his eyes to Su Feiyu and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
Su Feiyu knew what this clan uncle was referring to, so she didn't avoid it, and said generously: "Young man's spirit and heart are as high as the sky, not bad."
She paused for a moment: "But, will life be thinner than paper... Let's wait until the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament is over."
"Well, there's still time, just give me an answer before the competition ends."
