Chapter 1042 – Gambling
Chapter 1042 Gambling
Arriving at the edge of the valley, Xu Chuniang sensed an invisible barrier, and it was this barrier that separated the inside and outside of the valley into two worlds.
She stretched out a hand and tried to touch the barrier, and before she could get close, a striking black aura suddenly erupted from the barrier and shot towards her at speed.
Xu Chuniang’s eyes slightly condensed, and she hastily withdrew and retreated back, from this black aura, she sensed an extremely dangerous aura.
Luckily, the black aura seemed to only want to warn the person who tried to leave the field, and did not continue to pursue after a missed strike, and folded back into the barrier.
Looking at the barrier that had regained its calm, Xu Chuniang did not make another attempt.
This field, 80% was a kind of absolute domain defined by a Demon King-level powerhouse, and unless one possessed the strength to face a Demon King directly, one simply could not break out through brute force.
Along the border of the valley, after examining the terrain of the entire valley, Xu Chunniang selected a slightly higher cave, preparing to use this place as a temporary shelter.
The valley was too small, and there were barely a few places to hide one’s form, and it was foreseeable that there would be a steady stream of killings staged here after the hunting competition began.
By choosing a high place, one could at least observe the situation a bit more and not be too passive.
There were not a few people who had the same idea as Xu Chuniang, and around her, several people came one after another.
As the same “prey”, before the official start of the hunting competition, all of them tacitly kept their distance, and for a while, they did not mind each other.
Suddenly, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge black shadow blocked the light of the sky.
This change immediately startled many people, who looked towards the sky.
“What’s going on, is the hunting competition about to start this time, it’s clearly not time yet!”
“I don’t know, let’s take a look first, anyway, be ready to fight at any time.”
Under the crowd’s gaze, twenty to thirty people came out of the black shadow, and then that black shadow suddenly disappeared, and the sky returned to its initial appearance.
Only then did the crowd realize that these people were all “prey” just like them.
In the following time, there were two more batches of “prey”, were put into the field.
The “prey” in the field reached as many as a hundred people.
This was not all, in the half an incense stick of time before the official start of the competition, there were even dozens of magical beasts that were released into the field.
The cultivation levels of these beasts were mostly at the Earth Demon Realm, and the leading four had reached the Heavenly Demon Beginning Realm!
Demonic beasts that had cultivated to this realm already possessed an extremely high level of intelligence, not weaker than any other race.
After realizing the situation, the leading Heavenly Demon Beasts led the rest of the beasts towards the various directions of the valley.
One of them, a dragon-headed, deer-bodied magical beast with huge wings, came towards the hill where Xu Chunniang was.
It turned out that these magical beasts were also planning to take advantage of the terrain.
Seeing this group of magical beasts come in force, some of the devils’ faces instantly changed, “What to do, they’re coming in our direction, it looks like they’re coming for a bad reason, should we withdraw?”
There were also people who held an optimistic attitude, “Don’t be anxious, these magical beasts aren’t fools, before the hunting competition starts, they shouldn’t consume their strength hastily, let’s wait and see first, maybe they will cooperate with us.”
The crowd waited patiently for a while, not long after, the leading Heavenly Demonic Beast arrived first.
It slightly lowered its dragon head, coldly and proudly swept a glance at the entire arena, and transmitted a demonic thought.
“Leave, or die!”
The Heavenly Demonic Beast’s threat was straightforward and dry, as if anyone who dared to disobey would be torn to pieces the next moment. The crowd was terrified in their hearts, not daring to say anything more, not daring to bargain, directly scattering as birds and beasts, not hesitating to give up the position they had long ago chosen.
After all, in a sense, the Heavenly Demonic Beasts that were one great realm higher than them were even harder to deal with than those princes and daughters.
Xu Chuniang was no exception as she mixed in with the crowd and flew towards the surroundings.
The hunting competition was about to begin, and it was undoubtedly unwise to make a move against a Heavenly Demon Realm beast at this time.
With the remaining time, it was already too late to pick another good location.
Xu Chunniang casually surveyed her surroundings, transforming into a black smoke that disappeared into thin air, transforming into an ordinary leaf that was mixed amongst the countless leaves, hanging high above the branches.
“Huh?”
Through the Xuan Shui Jian, a certain Demon King, who was far away in the Four Heavy Domain, happened to see this scene.
He originally didn’t put this little devil at the Beginning Human Demon Realm in his heart, after all, in his opinion, this kind of little devil with low strength was nothing more than a patchwork in a hunting match, and wouldn’t survive for more than three hours.
However, this little devil’s concealment technique was a bit interesting, and if he was lucky, he might actually be able to survive successfully.
“Greedy Wolf, the match is about to start, what are you looking at here if you don’t hurry to send the juniors in?”
Greedy Wolf returned to his senses and said unhurriedly, “What’s the hurry, isn’t there still dozens of breaths to go? It won’t take me three breaths to send those juniors in.”
“Okay, okay, okay, I’m just here to remind you so that you don’t delay the hour.”
Greedy Wolf lightly grunted, his gaze fell on the more than twenty juniors below, and after casually explaining a few sentences, he waved his big hand and threw them directly into the field.
Mercy Star curiously came closer and took a look at the Xuan Shui Jian, only to feel confused, “There’s clearly nothing here, what exactly were you looking at just now, looking so into it?”
Greedy Wolf glanced at him with a wry smile, “Are you sure, there’s nothing in here?”
Mercy Star’s heart stirred as he looked and looked towards the Xuan Shui Jian, and he even deliberately detached a strand of demonic thoughts and sent it into the Xuan Shui Jian.
After half a cup of tea, Mercy Star finally gained some insight and discovered the anomaly.
A hint of shock appeared on her face, ”Who is this person? However, at the beginning of the human devil realm, he actually comprehended such a superb concealment technique, can’t it be that it’s the son or daughter of some fellow lost in the lower realm?”
“Who knows, it was only because I saw this exquisite concealment technique of hers that I looked at it a few more times, I didn’t expect that it actually almost fooled you as well.”
Greedy Wolf smothered a laugh, his tone full of mockery.
A trace of annoyance surfaced on Mercy Star’s face, “How could this kind of small trick fool me? I just don’t have the patience to look closely!
With this amount of cultivation, even if she has comprehended such a superb concealment technique, she may not be safe, and in a moment when they fight, all the hills will be razed to the ground, not to mention a single leaf!”
“Oh?”
A look of interest appeared in Greedy Wolf’s eyes, “Why don’t we make a bet on whether …… this little devil can survive the fight.”
“Bet on it, am I still afraid of you?”
Mercy Star lightly hummed, “Say, what’s the bet?”
