"Go deeper into the Xueyue Mountains?!" Everyone was shocked, but they soon came to their senses.
Yes, this is the only way to get more points. The time limit for the preliminary round is only three months. They have already wasted five days on the road and stayed outside the Xueyue Mountains for another ten days.
During the return journey, if you stay on the outskirts of the Xueyue Mountains and hesitate, you will definitely suffer the fate of being eliminated.
Hua Wutie continued to remind: "We have no time to hesitate, let's vote! Raise your hands if you agree to move forward!"
Eleven of the fourteen people raised their hands, including Zhan Chen.
Hua Wutie nodded and said: "Okay, eleven to three, most people agree to move forward, so without further ado, let's set off immediately!"
So, they immediately embarked on a new journey, heading deeper into the Xueyue Vein. Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Huayue team was getting closer and closer to the center of the Xueyue Mountains.
The average altitude here is just over 5,000 meters. In addition, there are mountains as high as 10,000 feet everywhere, with no end in sight. The temperature has also dropped to more than 200 degrees below zero. There are strong winds and blizzards all year round, making your feet slippery.
Extremely difficult to do.
The harsh climate and geographical environment make it difficult for human monks to adapt here, but it has become a paradise for many ice monsters. There are also many strange treasures buried under the frozen snow mountains.
In the depths of the Xueyue Mountains, usually only monks who have reached the Yuanshen realm dare to try boldly. Even the experienced Hua Wutie has only been here five times and followed others, so he can't accumulate much at all.
experience.
So this place, for the weak Huayue Team, is no more than a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. However, in order to qualify, they have no choice.
Walking on the rugged mountain road, Zhan Chen noticed that everyone's conversations were getting simpler and simpler, and they all automatically put on thick clothes. Some people also put up protective shields outside their bodies to resist the severe cold and wind and snow outside.
In this case, they still waste a lot of immortal energy every day on traveling and keeping out of the cold.
However, Zhan Chen has reached the realm of physical immortality. This severe cold is nothing at all. On the contrary, it is a stimulation and exercise for his body, which will only make his body stronger. Therefore, he still goes into battle lightly.
In appearance, he deliberately wore a thin gown without even a protective cover.
When other people saw his unchanging expression, they all admired him sincerely and praised: "Zhan Chen, you are so awesome, don't you feel cold?"
Whenever this happens, Zhan Chen will smile and say perfunctory: "It's okay, my body is special and great!"
Hua Wutie praised as usual: "Hahaha, we can't compare with Brother Zhan. Brother Zhan is a genius and is destined to become a big shot!"
Zhan Chen smiled awkwardly and pretended to be miserable.
Three days later, while passing through a canyon, they saw a shocking scene.
In an area of nearly five kilometers, there are large pits with a depth of one line everywhere, and there are also large signs of damage on the surrounding ice walls. It was obvious that a battle had occurred previously.
Hua Wutie investigated in detail and based on experience, made the following judgment: "The traces of the battle here are still very new, no more than two days at most; and it was a fierce battle between powerful monsters and Yuanshen realm experts.
There must be more than one Yuanshen realm powerhouse participating in the battle, at least thirty people, to cause such large-scale destruction."
"What was the result of the battle?" Someone asked curiously.
Hua Wutie couldn't answer, because he didn't know what the result would be. At this moment, the two people who were searching in front seemed to have discovered something, and shouted loudly: "Brother Hua, come over and take a look, there is someone here!"
This shout attracted everyone, and everyone gathered around, only to see a chilling scene. A strong Yuan Shen realm man was pinned to the stone wall by Bing Gua. It was clearly visible that he had been dying for a long time.
Looking at this scene, everyone was silent, and inevitably some rabbits and foxes became sad.
Seeing the dull atmosphere, Hua Wutie had an idea, pointed at the finger of the powerful Yuanshen Realm man, pretending to be surprised and said: "Oh, our luck has come, everyone, look, the corpse still has storage on its finger.
Stop it!"
When he said this, everyone's attention was diverted. After taking a closer look, they found that it was indeed the case, and they suddenly became happy. The wealth of a strong person in the Yuan Shen Realm was a huge sum for a strong person in the Immortal Yuan Realm.
"Let's dig him out!" As soon as Hua Wutie finished his words, everyone started to take action and dug out the body. The total contents of the storage ring of this powerful Yuan Shen realm man were worth at least 200,000 high-grade items.
Immortal stones are considered a considerable fortune to everyone.
However, this was just the beginning. Next, they discovered the corpses of eleven powerful souls one after another in the interior of the canyon. They were either frozen like the first deceased, or their bodies were torn into pieces, and they died.
The situation is miserable.
However, their corpses all had the same feature, that is, their murderers did not take away their storage rings. This made it easier for Zhan Chen and others to collect and obtain seven or eight storage rings.
The combined wealth is worth approximately more than three million high-grade immortal stones.
Hua Wutie took it upon himself to divide the collected things, and each person received more than 200,000 yuan.
At this time, Fang Xingye had an idea and said to Hua Wutie: "Brother Hua, why don't we withdraw from this game."
Hua Wutie couldn't help but be stunned and asked: "Why do you want to quit?"
"You see, even the powerful people in the Yuanshen realm have died so many, which shows that this place is very dangerous. Our Huayue team doesn't even have a strong person in the Yuanshen realm. If we encounter any dangerous monsters - I'm afraid...
There is a risk of the entire army being annihilated!" Fang Xingye gritted his teeth and said it anyway.
"Yes, let's retreat!" Many people in the team also shouted.
After listening to his words, Hua Wutie's expression suddenly became serious and asked: "Fang Xingye, how many times have you experienced life and death since you became a hunter?"
Fang Xingye didn't understand what he meant, so he hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "No less than twenty times."
"If that's the case, why are you afraid? Since everyone has become a hunter, it is equivalent to being tied to danger. Every time you go out to hunt monsters, it is a test of life and death. Why are you alone?
Are you afraid of this time?"
Fang Xingye couldn't answer for a moment and was silent for a moment before saying: "The danger is too great this time."
Hua Wutie smiled disdainfully and said: "This is the Demon Hunting Competition. Before participating, we must be prepared to die. If you want to quit, you can, I will not stop you, but I will lead those who are willing to move forward."
Keep moving forward!”
After that, he turned around and walked forward without hesitation. Zhan Chen and others naturally followed him.
Fang Xingye stayed where he was and was in a dilemma. In fact, he was not an exception. There were three or four others who were also hesitant and wanted to withdraw from the competition. However, when they saw Hua Wutie and others retreating away, they could not let go in the end.
Followed.
Seeing that everyone was following him, Hua Wutie, who had been pretending to be calm, breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, he had successfully avoided a crisis of internal division within Huayue Team.
In fact, a monster-hunting team like theirs, which consists of only a dozen people, is the most dangerous. While hunting monsters, you must also protect every team member and not let them sacrifice. Once the number of people in the team drops below ten, it will directly lead to the loss of the team.
Eligibility.
This detail was discovered by Zhan Chen. He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, the scene just now was very realistic."
Hua Wutie shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Is there anything we can do? Our Huayue Team is so fragile!" Suddenly, his face became solemn and righteous, and he said: "Zhan Chen, in order to protect the team members,
Strong people like us need to step forward when danger comes, even if we sacrifice ourselves, we must protect others, otherwise we will be like the demon hunting team just now and risk being wiped out."
Zhan Chen's expression also became serious and he replied: "I understand. Don't worry, Brother Hua. Our Huayue team is different from other demon hunting teams. We will definitely advance to the finals."
Hua Wutie nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Zhan, it's up to you! To be honest, without your presence, we would have turned back long ago, but just because I met you, I believe that we have a chance to succeed!"
This incident was just a small episode, but it made everyone more vigilant. There were deadly monsters lurking everywhere in the depths of the Xueyue Mountains. Walking among them was like walking on a tightrope.
Their boldness and caution finally paid off. Within two days, Hua Wutie and others discovered a group of about 5,000 snow antelopes. This kind of monster is six meters high and ten meters long.
The docile vegetarian only lives on some spiritual herbs that grow in the Xueyue Mountains, and his strength is only at the ninth level to the lower level of the immortal level.
As soon as he saw them, Hua Wutie shouted excitedly: "Great, I have an idea!"
Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask: "What's your idea?"
"If we follow the group of snow antelopes from a distance, we may get rich rewards!"
"Why?"
"Because they are the Snow Wolf's favorite food."
"However, it is also possible that other powerful monsters attacked them."
Hua Wutie shook his head with a smile and said: "According to my experience, powerful monsters will not choose them as targets, because monsters generally tend to choose opponents of the same level, or even opponents who are stronger than themselves.
In order to hunt the target, only in this way can they climb to a higher level. In the food chain of the Snow Moon Mountains, there are not too many hunters at the same level as the Snow Demon Wolf. If we are lucky, we will soon gain something.
.”
Zhan Chen suddenly said: "I see, it seems that this also requires a certain amount of luck."
"But it's better than wandering around without a goal, which is even more dangerous."
"That makes sense, let's just follow them!" Zhan Chen nodded.
Afterwards, Hua Wutie immediately conveyed his thoughts to every member of the team. Everyone immediately agreed with the captain's decision and quietly followed the group of snow antelopes, expecting surprises to fall from the sky at any time.
