Chen Jiu lived a peaceful life in the Pure Heart Residence, surrounded by beauties. He was very happy. Chen Jiu was living a peaceful life. His cultivation base was rapidly advancing, and there was a great buffer.
On the 7th of July, 2013, Tianlong City was bustling with people.
According to the month, it should be midsummer, but Tianlong City was located in the Never Setting Sun City. Autumn always came earlier. The trees were bleak and had stopped growing. This was the season when the demons and magical beasts were fattening up. Their meat was tender and juicy.
The Autumn Hunt was a grand event held every five years in Tianlong City. It was very grand and lively. People were coming out of the city in an endless stream, heading towards the Never Setting Sun Mountain Range.
The Never Setting Sun Mountain Range was ancient and mysterious. It stretched for millions of li. Demons and magical beasts were everywhere. It was a natural hunting ground.
The trees were tall and straight. In front of the Never Setting Sun City, which was like a giant mouth of a demon beast, there was a tall platform, guarded by armored soldiers. Zhao Sankui's tall figure was even higher, full of majesty.
"Welcome everyone to our Tianlong City's 402nd Autumn Hunt. Regarding the beginning of the Autumn Hunt, we must trace it back to the first Tianlong City Lord." Zhao Sankui's words were also full of reverence and worship. "He was the most outstanding person in our Tianlong City. He was also the first City Lord. Legend has it that he was a god who came down to earth. He could split the sun and moon with one sword and destroy the universe …"
"What? The sword user? "Chen Jiu's expression changed. Suddenly, his heart was in a perilous situation. He knew that the sword intent he had obtained was most likely left behind by the City Lord.
Otherwise, this Heavenly Dragon City was located in a remote place, not deep in the mountains, and had fallen into the secular world. How could it have such a peerless stone mansion?
Chen Jiu listened carefully. Unfortunately, too much time had passed, and the legend of the City Lord had already disappeared in the long river of history. Chen Jiu did not obtain any valuable information.
"This Autumn Hunt is the same as the previous ones. Anyone whose cultivation has reached the third layer of Heaven Opening and who is younger than 30 years old can participate. I will give everyone a number plate to prove their qualifications." Zhao Sankui finally said with a stern expression, "The Autumn Hunt is not limited to hunting. The one who obtains the most number plates will be first."
Although he was already prepared, Chen Jiu still couldn't help but be shocked. Apart from the demonic beasts that were hunted, every number plate, according to the label, was equivalent to a demonic beast of the corresponding level. In other words, the Hunting Ground was the place where the new generation of youths truly fought to the death.
Whatever enmity and grievances there were, they could all be resolved there. No matter what happened afterwards, they could not be pursued.
In the past, there were no life and death grudges. Everyone was relatively stable. At most, they would snatch the number plates and humiliate the other party. Now, the Chen family and the other three families were like fire and water. This time, the meeting was destined to be intertwined with blood and fire.
"Well, all the young masters who are participating in the Autumn Hunt, come and get your corresponding number plates. Be careful not to falsely report your level. Otherwise, you will be driven out by our elders." Zhao Sankui's majestic reminder was heard, and all the young masters in the city went up to get their number plates.
In Tianlong City, although the four great families were the largest, there were still many small families and nobles under them. Among them, there were also many outstanding talents.
There was an endless stream of people. According to the post-event statistics, a total of 93 people were qualified to hunt and received their corresponding number plates.
"Well, now you can all go in for a week. Remember to come back when the time comes …" Under Zhao Sankui's command, a group of young people quickly shot toward The Rising Sun City and disappeared in an instant.
Among them, a group of young people had an extraordinary aura. On each side, there was a beauty, which was very eye-catching.
"Chen Jiu, I think there are too many loopholes in your Autumn Hunt. If you hunt in advance or find someone to ambush you, wouldn't you be able to cheat?" The mischievous Qian Xiangyi pouted her small mouth and puffed out her small breasts as she put forward her own opinion.
"No competition can be absolutely fair. In the face of strong strength, nothing can be changed." Mu Lan disagreed.
"Alas, perhaps the customs of the past were not as crafty as they are now." Chen Jiu sighed. He could only think so.
'Roar … Bang … Bang …' The battle soon began. In front of them, several Wind Wolves attacked a young Magician.
"Ah … Ah … Help …" On the other side, under the ferocious attack of a man-eating tiger, a young man who was alone died on the spot and turned into food.
During the autumn hunt, it was the time for the major magical beasts to stock up on food. At this time, they were moving around very frequently, just to look for delicious food. The arrival of human beings undoubtedly made them excited. While they were hunting each other, the other party was also hunting these humans.
The wonders of nature, the survival of the strong. In order to survive, in order to become stronger, the Rising Sun City staged a series of battles.
At the edge of the forest, the level of the magical beasts was too low. They simply did not dare to attack Chen Jiu and the others, which made them very bored. Among them, Qian Xiangyi was curling her small mouth, constantly complaining that she was bored to death.
Moving forward carefully, Chen Jiu did not dare to be too careless. Because to be exact, this time he was going to have a life and death battle with the Black Demon Seven Stars of the Myriad Poison Academy. And this battle was directly related to the survival of the Chen Family and the stability of Tianlong City. Therefore, no matter what, he could not let anything happen to him. He must win.
"Don't worry, Chen Jiu, I have already contacted six students. They will come out to help at the critical moment …" Mu Lan said with a complacent face.
"Is that so? Are you sure there won't be any mistakes? What's their cultivation base like? "Chen Jiu asked worriedly.
"They are all Rank Eight Warriors, the elites of our academy." Mu Lan confirmed and said with a sneer, "Chen Jiu, aren't you very confident? How come when things are about to come to an end, you are actually a little scared? "
"Scared? It's not that I'm afraid. There's nothing wrong with being cautious. "Chen Jiu shook his head and said with a doubtful face," Moreover, I feel a little uneasy this time, as if there's a great danger waiting for us. It's better to be careful. "
Nothing happened along the way. Judging from the movements that Chen Jiu and Mu Lan had created in Tianlong City, ordinary people simply did not dare to provoke them.
After walking for a day, they gradually went deeper into the forest. At this time, the sky was getting dark. The three of them could not help but temporarily stop to rest and eat.
"There is something strange, Mu Lan, did you notice it? Along the way, we did not even meet half a Demonic Beast for half a day. "Sitting by a tree, Chen Jiu said with a serious face.
"Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. It's just a mere Black Demon Seven Stars, they are just deliberately mystifying us. We don't need to be afraid." Mu Lan still had a face full of indifference as he said, "If they don't appear this time then it's fine. But once they appear, I will definitely personally kill them."
