Beast Tamer: Super Lucky Starting Contract
Chapter 168 The Hunt Begins
After filling their stomachs, everyone lay down casually on the muddy ground. They were not allowed to bring anything in the backpacks they brought when entering the trial, and there were no sleeping bags or tents.
The bonfire flickered, the stars and the moon were shining, and the wind in the shadows of the trees blew through people as if passing through a hall.
There was also a roar coming from somewhere, not sure whether it was from a wild beast or a monster, making people feel as if they were in the real wilderness.
This kind of atmosphere, even the air seems to have a wild breath.
Only in the distance, the diffuse reflection of city lights dyes the night sky a faint pink, which makes it look somewhat charming, pulling people back to reality from the fantasy of the wilderness.
"Should we make arrangements for the night guard?" Mo Xu was afraid that someone might fall asleep after a while, so he spoke up to discuss it in advance.
"Stand guard? What do you mean by standing guard?" Wei Jian didn't understand what he meant.
"You're stupid." Ethan rolled his eyes at him. "Of course I'm keeping watch. There are wild monsters here. Do you really think they're sightseeing? If they come in the middle of the night and kill them all, you won't even have time to press the safety button."
“Yes, there is such a saying.”
I have to say that this military training is a very vivid lesson, and it is very suitable for university admission. Freshmen are transitioning from prospective beastmasters to real beastmasters, and they need this kind of real tempering.
Mo Xu had spent many days in the secret realm with Fatty Jiang Pan and had also experienced life-and-death crises, so he seemed calmer than most people.
He looked around at his teammates and said, "Why don't we take turns..."
"Let me do it." Before he finished speaking, Zhou Tong actually volunteered: "I will stand guard tonight, you all can rest."
Seeing this, Ethan also said, "I'll come along too. It's not too hard for two people to chat. Brother Mo, don't join in the fun. You are the hope of our entire village. We still have to rely on you to take us flying."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
After a few words, the rules were set, and they began to chat casually or play with their mobile phones to kill the boring time at night.
Just as Mo Xu was about to close his phone, he received a message from Yu Jingyan.
"I heard it was quite lively during the day. People were saying that there were many big events in the dense forest area. In the end, a Qilin god came out to settle everything. The storytelling stories even talked about 'Three Spirits Fighting Qilin'. Was it you?"
Mo Xu was teased by her, smiled, and sent a message back: "Don't listen to those nonsense. If I had known it would be so tragic, I would have run away long ago."
"As soon as I heard the word Qilin, I knew it was you! What's going on? I'm so curious, I've heard so many versions of the rumor."
Mo Xu typed out the details, satisfying Yu Jingyan's curiosity.
"It's been so complicated, this group of people are not simple."
After Yu Jingyan expressed his emotion, he typed another line of words.
"In Gusheng University, I know a professor named Li Shen, who is a master of ghost skills and proficient in the use of mental skills and illusions. The style of this team is most likely the students of this professor."
"Li Shen..." Mo Xu muttered to himself, then typed, "Do you know this professor? What's he like?"
"I don't know him, but I heard my great aunt talk about him. This professor is relatively low-key. He not only teaches few courses, but also recruits few students. I heard that he only recruits one or two students each year, which is a headache for the school. I didn't expect that he recruited 6 people this year."
Mo Xu frowned. A professor who is well versed in psychiatry and rarely goes out sounds a bit like a sinister and paranoid person. If this person is protecting his child, he won't cause trouble for him, right?
"If my aunt knew that after Professor Li came to his senses, he assembled a team of psychics and made the military training so chaotic, she would definitely hope that he would only recruit one or two people."
After complaining, Yu Jingyan asked again: "How many points does your team have? Our team has more than 40 points."
"We estimate that it's less than 30. We've been tormented by the dense forest area today."
"With you here, your team's first catch is here. If you focus on hunting, I'm afraid you'll spend more time looking for monsters than killing them. Our team just needs to be in the top ten."
"Hahaha, let me lend you some good words."
After finishing the conversation with Yu Jingyan, Mo Xu turned around and counted the points with his teammates. The result was even less than he expected, only 21 points.
20 points came from the Night Squid, and the remaining 1 point was killed by several people during their escape. It was the delay of this one that caused Yang Junmin to be separated from the small team.
Mo Xu was full of fighting spirit: "It doesn't matter if we just do that. We have two days left, so let's go all out hunting! Let's aim for... 300 points."
Yu Jingyan's team should represent the average level of the professor's team, 40 to 50 people a day, which means more than a hundred in three days.
But there is no guarantee that a strong team can hunt more. If you want to take first place, you have to set a bigger goal.
After seeing Mo Xu's strength, the members of Team 233 did not think that this goal was unrealistic, but instead felt a sense of anticipation.
……
A night passed, and the morning sun woke everyone up without Ethan and Zhou Tong calling out.
Mo Xu also released Xiu Xiu and Abing. After a long rest, they both recovered a lot of energy.
He walked over and patted Zhou Tong and Ethan on the shoulders: “Thank you for your hard work last night, leave it to me today.”
The group picked some fruits nearby for breakfast and started hunting.
If Zhao Xi's team hadn't interfered, this would have been the rhythm of military training.
The first target, naturally, was the high-level spiritual being in the dense forest area - the Senhai Deer.
Mo Xu would not let go of any high-level spiritual points. The Senhai Deer was the closest and was clearly still alive.
They first returned to the place where they had fought with the Senhai Deer and the Golden Crystal Beast yesterday, and then gathered their memories to confirm the direction in which the Senhai Deer had escaped.
Following the direction, they immediately found the hoof prints of the Senhai deer and followed the hoof prints all the way. The two initial-level spiritual monsters they encountered on the way could not withstand the whistling wind blades at all, and they scored 2 points with each move.
I can only say that it feels great to cling to someone powerful, and Team 233 also experienced the thrill of a one-click sweep.
It’s a pity that the spirit beads of these two were shattered. Xiu Xiu took advantage of the cracks to absorb the afterglow, which was better than nothing.
Soon, they found the trail, the Senhai deer was eating a bush with its head down.
"Brother Lu, although I am very grateful that you didn't attack me yesterday, I'm sorry today. Swish, let's solve it." Mo Xu whispered to himself.
"I was beaten up by three of them yesterday. Today I can finally vent my anger." Xiu Xiu was still brooding over what happened yesterday and had been holding his anger.
Revenge is imminent, its momentum is rising, even the heroic spirit is glaring, emitting a dangerous aura.
The Senhai deer felt the crisis in an instant, raised its head, and there was still a handful of tender branches in its mouth that had not been chewed.
This creature should have been a "Boss"-level existence in military training. After being stunned, its first choice was... to escape.
"Hey, monster, where are you running to!" Xiuxiu said with great momentum, I don't know where he learned this line from.
This time, the tree world activated only needs to target this one enemy. There is no need to consider timing, strategy, or defense. All he needs to do is kill the enemy quickly, which makes Xiu Xiu feel very refreshed.
Coupled with the fact that it was frequently used in high-intensity battles yesterday, my understanding of this combo skill has been further improved, and Tree World Advent 2.0 has also reached perfection at this moment.
It even felt that even without the heroic spirit controlling the wooden clone, it could still maintain the sea of trees.
In this state, Xiu Xiu wasted energy wantonly. Wind blades appeared outside the tree world, and he even tried to activate the "Hurricane Barrier" that he had not yet mastered. Although he did not succeed, he gained new insights at this moment.
The Senhai Deer had only run a few steps when it was swept into the attack range of the Tree World. It could only use its antlers to charge and resolve the Tree World's attack methods.
Without the combined strength of other high-level spirits, the tree world focused on one person. Thousands of parasitic seeds exploded, and countless thorny vines attacked. It was instantly submerged in the sea of trees.
Xiuxiu felt relaxed and refreshed all over, as if he had endless extraordinary energy and could completely evolve the tree world.
This time even the duration was broken. It was not until nearly a minute that the violent tree world slowly subsided.
And in the center of the field, there was only a dead deer.
"Mo Xu, the battle just now was so exciting. I felt like I had entered a wonderful state."
Xiu Xiu methodically retracted the tree world and removed the wooden clone, and it was obvious that he still had some strength to spare.
The human and the beast have a mutual understanding of each other's minds, and Mo Xu also felt the recklessness and vigor of Xiu Xiu when he was fighting just now.
This is not some mysterious state of enlightenment, but the combat power and comprehension that are naturally honed in battle.
"pretty good."
It just costs a bit of spiritual beads.
Under this level of attack, the spirit pearl will definitely not be able to be retained.
But Mo Xu did not dare to interrupt Xiu Xiu's state. After all, if he stopped, he might not be able to keep her. It was better to experience it thoroughly.
"Let's go, absorb the spirit beads and get points."
After Mo Xu and Xiu Xiu had passed by, Team 233 came to their senses and followed suit.
This was also the first time they saw Mo Xu's monster attack with all its strength. From then on, they had a concrete picture of how strong the team's thighs were.
The spirit bead was indeed broken, and even the small sensor next to the spirit bead was cracked by a wooden thorn.
"Does this...still have points?"
Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary. After pressing the instrument, the kill information was displayed very intelligently and he got 20 points.
The death of Senhai Deer was just the appetizer for today, and they left here soon.
The hunt has begun.
