Chapter 1041: Hunting Competition
Not long after arriving at the Lookout Valley, Xu Chuniang saw the Batwing Demon, and behind him, there were twenty to thirty demons standing sporadically, with their cultivation mostly at the Human Demon Realm and Earth Demon Realm.
A few of them, she had seen a few days ago, looked somewhat familiar.
Xu Chuniang had a number in her heart, these people were 80% just like her, having signed a blood contract with the Batwing Demon Man, and would participate in the operation together.
It was just that she didn’t know, what exactly was the next action and which dangers.
After waiting for a while longer, the Batwing Demon saw that all the people had arrived and finally announced their departure.
He took out a palm-sized bone boat and threw it into the sky.
The bone boat instantly enlarged by tens of thousands of times, transforming into a dragon bone boat refined from the spine of an entire Thunder Demon Dragon, looking terrifyingly imposing.
“Let’s go, it’s time to move.”
Saying that, the Batwing Demon took the lead in leaping onto the bow of the boat and looked at the crowd below.
The rest of the people followed suit and boarded the keel boat right behind them.
After the Dragon Bone Boat started up, it traveled at an extremely fast speed, and on the boat, a few low dragon roars could occasionally be heard, accompanied by the sound of whistling winds, sending out a burst of intimidating pressure.
On both sides of the Dragon Bone Boat, the lightning that flashed from time to time contained a strong thunderous aura.
The dragon chants and the thunder light were the residual power of this Thunder Demon Dragon during its lifetime, and after an entire dragon bone of the Thunder Demon Dragon was refined into a bone boat, these powers, too, were refined into the bone boat in their entirety.
From this, it could be seen how skillful the refiner who forged this bone boat was.
The Dragon Bone Boat cut through the demonic clouds and flew towards the distance, the Bat Winged Demon still did not reveal the destination of this operation, and the others also pressed their curiosity and did not ask more questions.
Because they knew that even if they asked, in order to avoid leakage of information, the other party would not reveal any information.
Xu Chuniang stood on the tailbone of the dragon bone boat, looking down through the gap between the dragon bones.
The demonic clouds along the way were constantly washed away by the Dragon Bone Boat’s powerful pressure, and then quickly retrogressed and disappeared from her view.
She originally thought that the Batwing Demons had gotten so many people to hunt certain powerful demonic beasts.
But now, she was somewhat less certain.
The Thunder Demon Dragon Demon Realm was one of the most tricky existences in the entire Lower Three Heavy Prisons.
But he had, in his hands, a Dragon Bone Boat refined from the spine of an entire Thunder Demon Dragon, did he really need the help of some Earth Demons or even Human Demons?
The danger level of the operation was perhaps even higher than her prediction.
Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes.
No matter how dangerous the operation was, the blood contract had already been signed, and it was too late to back out now, so she could only take one step at a time.
The speed of the Dragon Bone Boat was extremely fast, but in half an hour, it reached its destination.
“Arrived.”
It was unknown what the Batwing Demon had done, everyone was directly sent out of the Dragon Bone Boat by a force of teleportation, appearing in a strange valley.
The Batwing Demon Man put away the Dragon Bone Boat, and only then did he look at the rest of the people in an unhurried manner, introducing the contents of this operation. “This valley is the destination of this operation, your goal is to survive in the valley for more than twelve hours, as long as you survive for more than twelve hours, you will be considered to have completed the operation successfully, and you can leave the valley unimpeded, and return to the magic capital with the dragon boat.
Of course, after surviving twelve hours, if you want to continue to stay in the valley, it is not impossible, the extra reward is very generous, it depends on whether you have the strength to take it.”
A demonic person surveyed the surroundings and muttered in a low voice, “But I remember, near this valley, there is clearly no danger?”
The bat-winged demon laughed and said meaningfully, “Danger is not necessarily natural, it may also come only afterward, understand?”
A few devils frowned, obviously realizing something.
The bat-winged demon’s gaze swept over the people present, taking in everyone’s expressions, and faintly said.
“This entire valley has already been locked into a field by the hand of a certain Lord Demon King, from the moment you stepped into the field, you will not be able to get out.
Next, a hunting match will be staged in the field, and you guys are one of the prey in this match.”
Those who reacted quickly had already guessed what would happen next, and immediately became a bit furious, “It’s actually this kind of action, the luck is too bad, this is the action I hate the most, there is no one!”
There were also people who were unimpressed, “It’s not certain who is the prey and who is the hunter, I do think that fighting with those pampered princes and queens in the four prisons is much better than acting as bait for the Thunder Demon Dragons, after all, there’s no rule that says that one mustn’t lay a deadly hand on them.”
“Those princes and kings’ daughters, they are all the children of demon kings, their natural bloodline is outstanding, it’s not that good to deal with them, but their cultivation is not high, they are generally at the Earth Demon Realm, if we join forces, we may not be an opponent.”
Listening to the crowd’s discussion, the Batwing Demon’s expression remained flat, in a sense, what the crowd said was not wrong.
This kind of hunting nature competition, there had always been no rules to speak of, the identity of the hunter and the prey could be switched at any time with the change in strength.
Moreover, the identities of these princes and daughters may seem noble, but the Demon King adults in the Four Hells generally believed that only the children who survived battle after battle were worthy of the energy and resources they invested in them, and as for the ones who died, death was death.
Of course, except for a few princes and daughters of great fame, there will always be some who will be favored for various reasons.
If you accidentally move the hearts of several demon kings, then you have to be prepared to accept the thunderous wrath of the demon kings.
This thought flashed through the bat-winged demon’s mind and explained towards the crowd.
“There are still other prey that haven’t entered, the hunting competition will officially start in six hours, you guys can take advantage of this time to make preparations early, when the competition officially starts, all the prey will be issued a Domain Breaking Talisman.
The domain breaking talisman takes effect every twelve hours, each time it takes effect there are only thirty breaths, if you can’t grasp the time to leave the field, hey …… you guys are on your own.”
After saying that, the bat-winged demon’s figure, directly disappeared in place.
“Six hours, enough time to make a lot of preparations.”
The surrounding devils moved to find a suitable teammate.
Xu Chuniang’s cultivation level was the lowest among all the demons present, and the others directly skipped over her as they searched for teammates.
She didn’t think so either, surveying the valley on her own.
According to what the bat-winged demon had said, the entire valley was in the Demon King’s field, and without a field-breaking talisman, it was impossible to leave the field.
This “field”, what exactly is it?
Her mind moved slightly, and she walked towards the border of the valley. (End of chapter)
