Looking at Hua Wutie's extremely earnest eyes, Zhan Chen was really embarrassed to refuse him. Moreover, deep down in his heart, he also longed for the grand occasion of this monster hunting conference, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then.
Brother Hua, I am also a member of Huayue Team, please let me join you this time."
"Haha, great, our Huayue team has greatly increased in strength this time!" Hua Wutie also looked very excited. Zhan Chen was beyond his expectation that Zhan Chen could break through the realm of Immortal Yuan Dzogchen, and the last time he explored the Void Secret Realm,
It also caused the Huayue Squad to lose its most powerful combat power. To be honest, before Zhan Chen arrived, he had been worried about the fact that there were no powerful characters in the Huayue Squad. In this way, he would have to fight against the powerful hunters like Lin Lin.
It's hard to survive in the demon competition.
Although from Hua Wutie's point of view, Zhan Chen's addition would only be a drop in the bucket in helping Huayue's team qualify, it was still better than nothing.
Moreover, deep down in his heart, he always had an inexplicable expectation for Zhan Chen, perhaps because this young junior was always surrounded by too many mysteries.
At this time, Zhan Chen said again: "Brother Hua, I will still stay in the Demon Hunting Alliance temporarily. If it's time to gather, you can inform me there."
Hua Wutie pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Brother Zhan, I hope you don't go back and just follow us."
Zhan Chen asked curiously: "What, brother, are you okay?"
"Yeah, time is tight, there are only three months left, and our Huayue team has a few new members, and you have just broken through the realm of Immortal Yuan Dzogchen. The team needs to work together, otherwise we will not be able to do anything at all.
There is no hope of winning."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment, and then decided immediately. Three months is too short, and there really isn't much that can be done. It's better to use this time to increase your knowledge of monster hunting.
, after all, he is far inferior to Hua Wutie in this aspect. As an old hunter, Hua Wutie naturally has his extraordinary abilities.
"Great! I will immediately notify the other team members to assemble. Brother Zhan, just wait at my house for now." As soon as Hua Wutie spoke, he stood up, went to the counter to pay, and then ran out in a hurry.
Looking at his hurried back, Zhan Chen shook his head with a smile, and arrived at Hua Wutie's home alone. Hua Ling was waiting inside, and he successfully entered the door.
In about a morning, Hua Wutie ran back in a hurry and brought back eleven people. In this way, the members of Huayue Team were gathered together. Counting Zhan Chen and Hua Ling, there were a total of fourteen people.
Among them, Zhan Chen saw many familiar faces, but there were also five unfamiliar faces, who were obviously brought in after Hua Wutie. Zhan Chen noticed that the combat power of these unfamiliar faces was generally not high, and three immortals
Intermediate level, and two basic levels of Xianyuan.
Everyone sat together in the garden, and Hua Wutie made a grand introduction to everyone: "Everyone, I would like to introduce to you a member of our Huayue Squad. He is also a new member of the Huayue Squad, but he is definitely a heavyweight.
The character is Zhan Chen sitting on my right!"
Facing his host-style opening remarks, Zhan Chen was still a little uncomfortable and smiled stiffly at the people around him.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhan Chen, and someone immediately exclaimed: "Zhan Chen, I recognize you. Didn't you reach the intermediate level of Immortal Yuan twenty years ago? What's going on, even I can see it now?
Impenetrable!" A person sitting on the left side of Hua Wutie stood up in surprise and shouted.
Zhan Chen glanced at him and recognized him immediately. He was one of the people who participated in the adventure of the void secret realm with him. His name was Fang Xingye, and he had a high-level cultivation of Immortal Yuan.
At this time, several other old people seemed to have an impression, and they all said in a hurry: "Yes, it's only been a few decades, and when I first met Zhan Chen, he was only at the beginning of Immortal Yuan!"
"Yes, as you can see, Zhan Chen is now a powerful Immortal Yuan Dzogchen master!" Hua Wutie said proudly, as if he was bragging about himself.
"The Great Perfection of Immortal Yuan!" Everyone exclaimed in exclamation. In their eyes, the speed at which Zhan Chen's cultivation level improved was like riding a rocket.
Hua Wutie took the opportunity to encourage everyone again: "With Brother Zhan joining us, we won't have any hope of reaching the top ten this time."
However, his encouragement had no effect, and Fang Xingye immediately retorted: "Forget it, captain, it's better for us to focus on participation. Even so, our team only has two masters, you and Zhan Chen.
Moreover, Brother Zhan has just broken through to the realm of Immortal Yuan Dzogchen. Compared with other strong teams, we are far inferior to them not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of average cultivation."
After hearing what he said, Hua Wutie smiled confidently and said: "Fang Xingye, don't be too pessimistic. How many times have you participated in the monster hunting competition, and how many times have the brothers here participated? I have participated three times, so I understand.
One thing to note, hunting monsters does not only require high cultivation level. First of all, the monster you want to hunt must be
Monsters, they won’t all run to you to die. You have to find them first. Finding monsters is a technical job, so what’s the use of having a higher level of cultivation? In the Ten Thousand Monster Forest, in dangerous places such as the Xueyue Mountains, the range
But it’s very big, and there are so many powerful monsters, it’s not easy to find the target.”
"Brother Hua, it seems you are very confident!"
"Well, of course, you must have confidence. I also plan to reach the finals and get the bonus!"
"Okay, let's all listen to you. Tell us, what should we do?"
"I think our main disadvantage now is that our overall strength is weak, so we have to rely on strengthened cooperation among the team to win. So in the next three months, I want to take everyone out to train, hunt down some monsters, and further
Improve our team's collaboration ability and everyone's monster hunting experience." Hua Wutie revealed his plan.
"Good idea, when should we leave?"
"It's already late today. Let's go back and get ready. The meeting point will be at my house tomorrow morning."
So, everyone dispersed and left each other. Early the next morning, they came to the meeting place again. Hua Wutie led everyone on the road to Ten Thousand Demons Forest. In the next three months, Hua Wutie
He shared his experiences with others, which opened everyone's eyes.
For example, in a primeval jungle with lush vegetation, he can determine what kind of monster has been active here just by relying on some residual breath in the air, and he can even roughly tell it.
Time to leave.
Another example is that he can follow the clues based on the footprints on the ground and find out the whereabouts of the monster. His ability to find the clues in the woods is a feast for the eyes of Zhan Chen and other team members.
For another example, after discovering a monster, how to lurk, how to approach the target, how to create a trap, how to lure the target, and how to surround the target and flank the target, these have become the focus of Zhan Chen and others' studies and exercises.
Under the guidance of Hua Wutie, everyone grew up rapidly. Later, even Zhan Chen had to sigh, what is an old driver? He has only now fully realized that experience is really important for a qualified hunter.
Very important.
In the Ten Thousand Monster Forest, which is full of dangers, to become a qualified hunter, it is definitely not enough to have extraordinary cultivation. Because there are countless big monsters in the Ten Thousand Monster Forest, even if you have the cultivation level of the Yuan Shen realm, you cannot be sure of being in the sky.
You can gallop at will, and in this case it is even more difficult to find the monster you need to hunt.
After three months of hard work, the Huayue Demon Hunting Team has grown like a completely different person. Everyone has regained their confidence and become more cohesive and centripetal.
Three months later, Zhan Chen and fourteen others, led by Hua Wutie, returned to Cangyue City, just in time for the registration time for the demon hunting competition.
On this day, the Demon Hunting Alliance was particularly lively. Many powerful hunters gathered here. They were all hunters affiliated with Cangyue City and chose Cangyue City as their own force.
In three days' time, the opening ceremony of the preliminaries will be held in the square in front of the City Lord's Mansion. At that time, City Lord Ouyang Hui will come to the scene in person, deliver an opening speech, and announce the rules of the preliminary round and the list of monsters to be hunted.
.
Hua Wutie led everyone to the on-site registration point and registered everyone one by one. After detailed questioning and verification of their identities, the registration point distributed a jade plaque to each of them.
After getting the jade token, Zhan Chen saw his team's competition number written on it. He put his consciousness into it and found that the jade token also recorded his basic information and the monster hunting team he belonged to. It can be seen that this jade token
It's something like a participation certificate.
"Okay, the registration is over. Let's go back and have a good rest in the past three days. After three days, we will gather at my house and we will set off to the Central Square together." Hua Wutie finally said to everyone.
So Zhan Chen began to look forward to the grand opening ceremony of the Demon Hunting Competition three days later, and began to wonder what the mysterious and powerful Lord of Cangyue City looked like. You must know that he had seen a strong man in the Law Body Realm.
But there are only a handful of them.
Three days came in a blink of an eye. On this day, Zhan Chen set out early, gathered at Hua Wutie's house, and then started to head for the central square. Only then did he realize that the square was already crowded with people, including the experts of the Demon Hunting Alliance.
There were many soldiers wearing city guard uniforms on guard around the square, keeping away the ordinary citizens who came to watch the excitement. The only way to enter the center of the scene was with the jade token obtained from the registration point.
Hua Wutie and others showed their jade medals to the guards one by one before being allowed to enter the square. They chose a corner to stand, and Zhan Chen began to observe the competitors around them.
However, the more Zhan Chen observed, the more solemn his expression became, because Huayue Team's competitors were all very powerful. As far as he could see, the small teams like their Huayue Team only had a dozen people.
, and the number of people on a large scale can reach forty or fifty!
Moreover, almost every demon hunting team has at least one strong person from the Great Perfection of Immortal Yuan in charge. Among them are experienced old hunters like Hua Wutie. In some teams, more than half of the members have reached the level of Immortal.
The realm of Yuan Dacheng.
"Can our Huayue team win?" Seeing this scene, Zhan Chen and others who were originally confident began to doubt again.
At this moment, a loud voice sounded from the central platform and spread to every corner of the square: "Everyone present, please be quiet. The 153rd Demon Hunting Competition of the Thirty-Six Cangyue Alliance is about to begin.
