Chapter 22 Fire Hunting Competition
Under such an almost brutal impact, the griffon beast formation flew for nearly half an hour before its speed gradually slowed down. Feeling the speed of the flying monsters slow down, Xiao Yun glanced down and found that there was only a valley under his feet and endless green shadows, without any human figures.
"Is this the fire hunting competition?" Xiao Yun thought secretly in his heart.
"Land!"
The powerful aura that had risen from Hu Qian's body was quietly retracted into his body. Hu Qian smiled and waved his hand, and ten griffon beasts flapped their wings and slowly landed on the open space in the valley below.
The griffon beast brought up shadows and strong winds, and landed steadily on the open ground. Xiao Yun and others saw Hu Gan's gesture, and they stood up from their seats and jumped to the ground. However, most of the students had blank expressions on their faces, staring blankly at the valley in front of them without any human figures.
"Where is this? Is the inner courtyard here?" A student in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
Hearing the voice, most of the students looked at Hu Gan in front of them. Obviously, they also wanted to know the answer to this question.
"The inner courtyard is not so easy to enter." Hu Gan said with a smile, and then under the gaze of everyone, he walked forward a dozen steps, then stopped, waved his hand, and a beam of energy was swung out by him, shooting straight into the space in front of him.
Immediately, a strange scene emerged. When the energy shot through a certain empty space, it brought up waves like water waves. These ripples were rapidly fluctuating, and finally a silver door that was seven or eight feet tall appeared out of thin air. Under
the gaze of everyone, the silver door slowly opened with a crisp sound. The scene behind the door was the same dense forest as before, and there seemed to be no change.
"Follow me in." Hu Qian waved his sleeves and walked into the silver door first. After seeing Hu Qian walk in, it was as if he had entered another space and disappeared out of thin air.
After everyone sighed in amazement, they hurriedly stepped forward and passed through the silver gate, disappearing into the valley.
After everyone and the griffon beast had passed through the silver gate, the gate slowly closed, the last circle of energy ripples spread out, the silver gate disappeared, and the area turned back into the original ordinary forest. After
stepping through the silver gate, Xiao Yun felt a trance, and his feet stepped on the ground. Looking forward, he found that the scene in front of him was no different from before, except that there were two more old men and a few middle-aged men, and behind them, there were many young people of the same age as them.
Xiao Yun scanned them and found that this group of young people all wore a small tower-shaped badge on their chests.
"Old Hu, you are always so punctual. I let you escort the new students just to reassure me. How are the new students this year?"
At this time, one of the two old men saw a large group of people coming in from the silver gate and said to Hu Qian with a smile.
"It's my duty. Don't worry. It will definitely be much better than last year." Hu Qian walked up to the two old men and replied with a smile, "This year it's you two old guys who are here. It looks like you're tired."
"No way..." The two old men shook their heads helplessly.
"Come here, the five of you." Hu Qian turned around and waved to Xiao Yun and the other four. After Xiao Yun and the other four came to his side, he pointed at the two old men and said, "These two are the elders of the inner courtyard. This one is Elder Su, and the other is Elder Liu. If you have any problems in the inner courtyard in the future, you can find them. These five guys are the top five in this year's selection. The youngest one is not only the first place this time, but also the apprentice of old man Huo."
Hu Qian pointed at Xiao Yun and said to the two old men.
"Oh?" The two elders looked at the five people in surprise, and finally stopped at Xiao Yun, nodded slightly, and said: "At this age, he can get the first place. Old man Huo really got a good disciple."
"Boy Xiao Yun, meet the two elders." Xiao Yun saw that the two elders were staring at him closely, and he couldn't pretend not to see it, so he had to speak out and salute.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Yun, right? When you entered the school, the strength of the seven-year-old fighter was famous in Canaan. Even a few of us old men wanted to take you as a disciple, but we didn't expect that Old Man Huo got ahead of you." Elder Liu stroked his gray beard and smiled.
"Okay, no more nonsense. Although you have passed the selection test and obtained the qualification to enter the inner courtyard, it is not over yet..."
Elder Su smiled, raised his hand, and a handful of black chips appeared in his hand. He threw them casually, and all the chips burst out. Then, as if it had eyes, it was suspended in front of everyone accurately. Xiao Yun and others reached out and held it in their hands. After
holding the chip, Xiao Yun immediately felt a strange heat seeping out from it. He lowered his head and looked at it carefully. He found that there was a transparent lens on the chip. On this lens, there was a big number printed, "Five!"
"Is this the fire energy crystal card?" Xiao Yun's eyes were hot. This is a great resource for his future practice in the inner courtyard.
"Some things are hard for me to explain to you. You will understand them later. But before that, you only need to remember one thing, that is to keep the chip in your hand properly, as if it were your own life. After you enter the inner courtyard, you will understand its importance to you! Now, maybe you can see the eyes of the group of young people behind me and you will understand." Elder Su pointed at the inner courtyard students behind him and smiled. The group of
inner courtyard students were staring at the black chips in Xiao Yun and others' hands with their eyes full of undisguised greed.
"Next, you need to enter this forest, and the inner courtyard is at the end of the forest. As long as you can pass through this forest, you will succeed." Elder Su pointed to the inner courtyard students behind him and said, "When you pass through this forest, you must be careful of them. According to the rules of the inner courtyard, they can attack you at will in this forest."
"Remember, the numbers on the chips in your hands have a great temptation to them, so, in addition to killing people, they will use all means to obtain the numbers on your chips, also known as fire energy!"
"As long as you don't get caught by them and successfully reach the inner courtyard, you will receive extra rewards. The earlier you arrive, the greater the reward you will receive."
Elder Su pointed his finger at the dark forest behind him, "We in the inner courtyard call this stage the Fire Energy Hunting Competition! Now, I declare that this round of the Fire Energy Hunting Competition has officially begun. Students, start your escape!"
