hunt and eat

Olga, who has always been used to being wise and safe, felt that it would be more at ease to lie on the ground.

In the center of the square, the strong man who combined elegance and violence whistled in admiration, and finally looked expectantly at the little giant who was striding towards him with a growing fighting spirit.

That young face, as well as the terrifying aura that didn't match his age at all, made even a strong man who was used to seeing "monsters" narrow his eyes slightly.

There is also a world of difference between monsters and monsters.

Just like the one in front of you, even though it is still in the growth stage, it has already reached the predictable mature form of other seeds.

His starting point is almost the end point of others.

"Do you want to fight, senior?"

Not paying any attention to the aura surrounding him, Guta smiled brightly, and stretched out his hand to grab the magic machine behind him.

Seeing that the chief was about to make a move, the remaining two were also quite moved, and formed a triangle to surround the most muscular man in the center.

Although it is [-]% unbeatable, there is no reason to miss this rare opportunity to fight against the strong.

"Let's stop here, children... Your big meal is not me."

The tsunami-like momentum surged back, and the strong man stood with his chest folded, with a relaxed and happy expression.

It was in stark contrast to those contestants on the ground who were slowly getting up with ugly faces.

"[Absolute Sword], [Wolf Calamity], and of course you, [Yu E]... You guys are really good."

They clapped their hands sincerely, and the strong man's face was full of a warm smile.

"Let me introduce myself, my humble Oliva, who is the host of this trial."

"The sequence is barely strong, just the third."

The strong man who called himself Oliva said casually as if chatting with his pockets in his pocket.

Almost at the same time, the curses and complaints that were still ringing out disappeared in an instant, as if the mute button was suddenly pressed.

The air was silent for a full three seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the enthusiastic discussion, with a retaliatory noise, swept back ten times and a hundred times.

The third in the sequence, perhaps placed elsewhere, is not a ranking that can be said with one's head held high, but this definitely does not include the ancient dragon group.

The top ten members of the ancient dragon group in the sequence are all top-notch, fully developed top-level "monsters".

Not to mention the first three who were dubbed the "Three Strong" alone.

That is no longer what the word monster can describe.

It was a peak natural disaster that almost half-legged into the taboo field, and could barely be called "God".

Even the ancient dragon is as weak as a blade of grass in front of them.

This is the top three!

But now, the person in front of him actually claims to be the top three? !

Everyone's anger disappeared in an instant.

Instead, there was a sense of excitement and awe for no reason.

After all, for every hunter, there is nothing more worthy of awe than strength.

"Sequence 3 of the Ancient Dragon Group, [Freedom] Oliva, this is the first time I've seen him in person."

Climbing up from the ground in embarrassment, Olga patted the dirt on her body, and turned her gaze to the legendary three strong men.

The one who wrote down Ma Wei just now was much more violent than the [Sprout] before.

Of course, as far as ability control is concerned, it's actually very subtle, to the extent that even with such a wide coverage, it still doesn't affect other irrelevant personnel in the slightest.

Is this the peak of the forbidden hunter?

It's really chilling.

"However, I don't seem to see his weapon?"

Guta rested his chin and looked at Oliva's empty hands with some doubts.

This was the first time he saw a hunter who didn't even carry a weapon.

You know, even Saga, who is as strong as the number one in the sequence, still carries a broken knife with him.

And this one in front of him, judging by his physique and style, shouldn't he be the kind of person who fights with bare hands?

Guta whispered inwardly.

Olga on the side also roughly saw his thoughts, and nodded quickly.

"You guessed it right, this [Freedom] is an extremely rare hunter who fights hand-to-hand, and is also known as the strongest physical existence of human beings."

"[Strongest] these two words, I always feel that my ears are getting calloused when I hear them recently..."

Guta scratched his ears noncommittally, and temporarily kept this statement in his heart.

Soon, one after another, the specially made insect guide lamps were sent to all the contestants who participated in the trial by the shadow hunters.

As for the teammates who came with them, they were "politely" invited to the stone steps on one side.

"The first round of trials is very simple..."

Oliva crossed his arms and stared at all the testers present with kind and expectant eyes.

"Every contestant needs to complete the hunting of specific target monsters within three days. The specific scores will be scored based on the number of your hunts and the level of monsters."

"These insect guide lights will emit a specific red light when you approach the mission target of this primeval forest."

"As for the material, the staff here will help you to recycle it. Just keep a small material that can prove the monster's identity."

Speaking of the rules of the first round of trials in an orderly manner, Oliva glanced at the group of boys and girls who were listening carefully with a half-smile.

"For the first round of qualifying places, let's set [-] for the time being."

"If you have no problems, you can go now."

As soon as the words fell, accompanied by the sound of the stone slab cracking, a tall and strong figure, followed by a short man, disappeared in the same place in an instant.

The wind pressure brought about by the high-speed movement even sent two nearby contestants flying off guard.

"This year's chief seems to be impatient." Oliva scratched his short hair that was close to his scalp, and said softly with a half-smile.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining 43 contestants left the scene one by one in their own way without any further hesitation.

I don't know what's wrong, almost no one chooses to go through the front passage, and without exception, they all climb over the ten-meter-high wall to get out.

Oh no, it seems that there is still one person who chose to go through the main entrance.

It was a skinny boy with a hunchback figure and blond hair, and he was carrying an ordinary black iron sledgehammer behind him.

Every time he took a step, he coughed in pain, like a sick man who was about to fall to the ground at any time.

"[Sick Lion] Ren... Layton, are you sure you don't want to stop your grandson?"

"The unknown gem that produced a severe rejection reaction after implantation has almost drained his vitality, and he may not be able to survive this trial."

Oliva touched his exquisite mustache, as if talking to himself.

Behind Oliva, a shadow hunter with a strong figure and a lion mask looked at the thin voice that had completely disappeared, and sighed.

The voice was extremely old.

The mask was slowly removed, revealing a familiar face.

It was Guta's former entry examiner, the head of the four-star hunting group, Layton.

Compared with half a year ago, the head of the group is more than ten years older.

It seems that some major change has occurred, and the mental state of the whole person is completely unable to maintain.

"This path was chosen by him, and I can't stop it."

"Even if you die here because of this?" Oliva picked off a wild flower at his feet, and crushed the pale petals with his rough knuckles.

"Yes, if that's what he wants."

"Then I respect his choice."

The old voice was full of pain and regret.

Chapter 19 The Red Scythe Arbitrarily Cuts the Nirvana

In the dense primeval forest, two figures, one big and one small, were running wildly in the forest at an unimaginable speed.

"Guta, should we search separately?" Mie Jue looked beside him with some hesitation as he jumped over the mountain stream in front of him.

I saw that Guta was holding the insect guide lamp on his waist with one hand, squinting his eyes and looking around.

He is releasing perception around him.

At his level, as long as there are monsters within a hundred meters, almost no one can escape his perception.

Of course, some ancient dragon species that can be invisible are exceptions.

"There is no need for that, anyway, as long as there is a material, it doesn't matter who kills it."

"We act together is the best solution."

Guta directly pointed out the "loopholes" of this mission, or in other words, the intentional rules.

According to his guess, the reason why the rules are set like this is probably to intensify the competition among these contestants.

And in the process of the trial, neither the guild nor the ancient dragon group excludes players from hunting by forming teams or forming alliances.

Teamwork, or the joint efforts of advanced combat forces, is what they like to see.

After all, in the future, members of the ancient dragon group will face ruthless characters at the level of ancient dragons. It is difficult for them to compete with their own strength.

Even human natural disasters are often far inferior to monsters of the same level in terms of real combat power, not to mention monsters among monsters, those ancient dragon species that are equivalent to [God's Authority] and are at the apex of creatures.

Whether it is physical fitness, energy reserves, or the use of special powers, humans and monsters are far apart, which can only be made up through tactics, equipment, technology, and team hunting.

"And if you separate from me, I'm worried that you will be 'robbed'."

Noticing that the insect guide lamp at his waist had changed from the original green light to crimson in an instant, Guta let out a "tsk" and took off the pain hook sickle behind him.

"What do you mean?" Mie Jin, who was also on combat alert, asked a little puzzled.

"It's very simple. Since the basis of the trial is only the monster material, if someone jumped out to end the monster at the last moment of your hunting, or directly snatched the material as a proof from you... How to calculate the score?"

Guta came up with a hypothesis that Extinction had never considered before.

"Should... not be?"

"Who knows, the latter may be a bit over the top, but the former is really hard to say... After all, before the battle is over, no one dares to guarantee that they will win."

As soon as the words fell, the two jumped back while grabbing the vines around them.

A purple-black "big spider" nearly four or five meters high fell heavily from a tree crown above their heads, bringing grass clippings flying all over the sky.

Grabbing the vines with one hand, and relying on inertia to swing the ancient pagoda in mid-air, his eyes instantly swept over the pair of horn-like jaws on the monster's head and the purple-black prosthetic limbs on the abdomen.

"Shadow spider?"

The shadow spider is the original monster of the skeletal spider he once hunted. It also belongs to the horned species. Its appearance is similar to the spiders on the earth, but there are still quite big differences in the division and number of arthropods. Not to be confused.

By the way, the purple-black film on the Shadow Spider's body is not actually its own skin.

Somewhat similar to the habits of skeletal spiders, because their carapace is extremely conductive, shadow spiders are very afraid of lightning-type attacks, so they will prey on poisonous monster birds and peel them to give them a certain amount of insulating rubber. Skin draped over the body.

Just listening to it makes people shudder.

Letting go of the vines, the ancient pagoda fell heavily on the ground, taking the time to glance at the top of the head.

Sure enough, he saw a layer of milky white silk screen covering the top tree canopy.

"Don't shadow spiders only build their nests in caves? Forget it, I'm not surprised what happens in this ghostly place."

Like most of the monsters in [Forest of the Dead], the shadow spider in front of him also had an exaggerated size that far surpassed that of the same species.

Six blue eyes, like giant searchlights, fixedly stared at the ancient tower and Mieji not far away.

The dark purple crystals on the back were also excited, constantly seeping out a viscous gel-like highly toxic liquid.

"So many eyes, it looks like they've grown for nothing." Guta chuckled, flipping his wrists, with a red scythe resting on his shoulders, and walked straight towards the opponent as if strolling in a leisurely manner.
