Chapter 190 Counter Hunting
Xiao Se's identity as an alchemist won the attention of the two elders. It is not impossible for an alchemist who can refine the highest-grade three-pattern Qingling Pill to refine a fifth-grade pill.
After exchanging some polite words with Xiao Se, Elder Su began to distribute black crystal cards that stored fire energy to everyone.
"The numbers on the black chip in your hands are called fire energy. It has a great appeal to the senior students behind me. The last test for you to enter the inner courtyard is to cross this forest. During this period, these senior students can attack you at will without killing you and snatch the fire energy in your hands. We in the inner courtyard call it the 'fire energy hunting competition'."
"I now declare that the 'Fire Energy Hunting Competition' has officially begun. Escape, young men!"
After hearing Elder Su announce the start of the competition, the students panicked and fled in all directions. Of course, some of the more rational ones chose to form a team and move forward.
"You don't mind if I team up with you, right?" Han Yue slowly walked to Xiao Se and Zhu Zhuqing and said in a cold voice.
"Whatever you want." Xiao Se smiled indifferently and then took the two of them into the forest.
Walking in the dense forest, Xiao Se and the other two seemed very casual, unlike the other students who tried to hide their figures.
"Xiao Se, what are you planning to do? Are you going to go straight through the forest?" Zhu Zhuqing stood beside Xiao Se and asked with her head tilted.
"Since you're here, you have to do it without getting some benefits." Xiao Se said with a wicked smile.
"What you mean is..." Seeing the smile on Xiao Se's lips, Zhu Zhuqing knew that someone was going to be in trouble.
"Of course, they took all the fire energy from the old students. Those people value fire energy so much, so it must be an indispensable currency in the inner courtyard." Xiao Se's eyes showed a cunning look, and he looked at Han Yue with a smile and said, "Han Yue, are you interested in doing something?"
"Uh." Han Yue couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this. The more she heard this, the more it sounded like a bandit leader. She nodded lightly and said, "Okay."
Having made up his mind, Xiao Se released his soul power and began to explore.
"Five hundred meters at twelve o'clock." As he spoke, Xiao Se tapped the ground with his toes and flew rapidly toward the targeted direction. Afterwards, Xiaomaomi and Han Yue followed closely behind.
Not long after, as the three of them hurried on their way, they finally ran into the five old students.
At this moment, they had just robbed a new team. Seeing Xiao Se and the other two coming to them on their initiative, they were stunned at first, and then ecstatic.
"Haha. Mu Bai, some people come to your door voluntarily these days." One of the thin young men in blue clothes smiled at a young man in white clothes next to him.
The young man called Mu Bai said jokingly, "According to the old rules of Fire Energy, we each get one, but leave these three to me, and don't snatch them from me."
"Hehe. No problem! But you have to be gentle with these two little beauties, otherwise you won't have a chance in the future." The other four people also had a playful look on their faces, smiled, and looked at Xiao Se and the other two with ill intentions.
"Three four-star Grand Fighters and two three-star Grand Fighters, rubbish." Xiao Se sneered, turned his head, and whispered to Han Yue: "Han Yue, I'll leave Zhu Qing in your care. I'll leave them to you."
"Yeah." Han Yue nodded slightly. His body shook slightly, and a powerful fighting spirit suddenly burst out from his body, protecting the kitten behind him.
The powerful fighting spirit burst out from Han Yue's body, causing Mu Bai and the other four to change their expressions. Judging from the aura alone, Han Yue's cultivation had at least reached that of a six-star Grand Fighter, which was stronger than any of them.
"Damn it, I think I've hit a wall this time." A bad thought flashed through his mind, and the young man called Mu Bai was about to call on his companions to join him in besieging Xiao Se and the other two. However, before he could utter a word, a green figure suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost.
Mu Bai's pupils suddenly shrank, and before he could react, a fist as big as a sandbag suddenly appeared in front of him and hit him hard in the face.
Death!
At this moment, Mu Bai seemed to see a big word "death".
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and lost control of his bowels and bladder. He had a premonition that if this punch landed, he would die!
Just when Mu Bai was already in despair, at the critical moment, the green figure turned his fist around and landed a fierce punch on his abdomen.
Immediately, Mu Bai flew backward like a cannonball, hit a big tree, and then fell to the ground. With bloodshot eyes, he lay on the ground in pain, holding his stomach and vomiting acid.
The same thing happened to Mu Bai's other four companions. Under Xiao Se's seven-star fighting spirit cultivation, these great fighting masters didn't even know how they were hit and collapsed to the ground.
It took a long while for the five people to vomit enough acid and regain consciousness.
"Five seniors, please hand over the Fire Crystal Cards to you." Xiao Se waved his hand and said with a harmless smile to the five people lying on the ground and wailing in pain.
Looking at Xiao Se who looked harmless, Mu Bai and the other four were amazed at his horror. They swallowed hard and handed over the Fire Crystal Card reluctantly.
"Zhu Qing, Han Yue, these are yours." Xiao Se handed two fire crystal cards to the two of them respectively.
"Then you only have one?" Neither Han Yue nor the little cat took the card.
Xiao Se smiled and said, "Aren't there many more behind this? I can just take one more next time."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Han Yue nodded slightly and took the Fire Crystal Card from Xiao Se. The three of them put the Fire Crystal Card they snatched together with their cards. In an instant, both of them had more than 50 days of Fire Energy on their Fire Crystal Cards. Xiao Se also had more than 30 days of Fire Energy on his card.
Mu Bai and the other four only had seven days left on their Fire Crystal Cards. This was a minimum living allowance, and no one could take it away.
After returning the Fire Crystal Cards of Mu Bai and the other four, Xiao Se searched for the forest map from them and asked them to explain the uses of fire energy to the kitten and Han Yue, and then activated the 'fire energy anti-hunting' mode.
To obtain more fire energy, Xiao Se and the other two would wait until the old students had snatched all the fire energy from the new students before they took action to snatch it away.
For a moment, the whole forest was in chaos because of Xiao Se and his two companions.
In a clearing in the forest.
Due to Xiao Se's 'fire energy counter-hunting', the fifty old students who wanted to snatch the new fire energy suffered heavy losses. Except for a few teams that were far away, the number on the fire crystal cards of almost all of them turned into seven days.
At this moment, more than 30 senior students whose books were robbed by Xiao Se gathered together and expressed their frustration to each other:
"Why, your books were also robbed?"
"Yes, yes, that freshman is too strong. None of us can survive a single move from him. What about you?"
