Chapter 259: Chapter 230: The Hunting Mode of the Officers (3K)_1

(PS: In the previous chapter the lieutenant-general, Lu Liu, was changed to Isloa, this does not affect the plot, hmm~)

The conflict in Dragon Court is based on the lords.

On Tai Xuan’s side, there are six small teams.

And in the whole competition, a total of 233 representative teams participated.

Most of them naturally come from small and medium-sized countries. However, the so-called ‘small countries’ are only relative to the Seven Great Nations. In fact, these countries are not weak at all, with many Great Lords within their borders.

They too dream of overthrowing the great nations and taking their place.

Representatives of small countries are confident, showing their fangs.

In the past, there were occasions when representatives of small nations made it to the end; there were also instances where a great nation was eliminated unexpectedly.

“One of Tai Xuan’s representative is Tianyuan?”

In the distance, a representative from the Shen Yao Empire squinted, “Sure enough, Tai Xuan this year has no one capable. Yet the Eye of Shiny spent so much money on so-called intelligence gathering when Tai Xuan was said to be empty, isn’t this a waste of our Shen Yao taxpayers’ money?!”

Another Shen Yao representative said, “The ones worth paying attention to in the Tai Xuan Alliance this time are Youshan and Wuji. Of course, they are only slightly commendable, because we here have…”

He, the Explosive King, and the King of the Undead, each have an Epic God Warrior!

Especially the King of the Undead.

“Tai Xuan is not doing well this year, but Tianyuan being able to become a representative of Tai Xuan, means his growth rate is too drastic. In the next… Dragon Court Competition in two years, Tianyuan might be like Han Yue of the past, performing exceptionally.”

Two years ago, Shen Yao Empire’s representative was eliminated by the Lord of Han Yue City in the Chaos Forest, three of them removed.

They were severed right at the waist.

In the end, the number of tokens they obtained was very limited.

“Therefore, if we have the chance, we must eliminate Tianyuan!”

To achieve this strategic goal, the key is the Epic God Warrior ‘Lord of Fear’ owned by the King of the Undead. The Lord of Fear can pull people into an illusionary space for endless torment, and inflict the deepest fear on his target.

He can also make his enemies experience endless reincarnations in fear.

In the Chaos Forest, they can’t kill Tianyuan, but as long as they let him sink and experience great terror again and again, breaking his invincible spirit and preventing him from progressing courageously,

Then there is no difference between Tianyuan and being scrapped.

Outside the Chaos Forest at another place.

Six representatives from the Yongxing Empire.

Three of them stood arrogantly, and three bowed respectfully.

Once, the Lord of Yongxing who broke into the Festival Grounds of Lanxing, attempting to recruit Isloa, was one of the three respectful ones. After all, he was only the son of a duke, but the three standing in front of him were more noble princes and princesses.

He was also unlucky. There were three princes and princesses in the same era.

If it wasn’t because he couldn’t compete with the princes and princesses, he wouldn’t have had to travel to another Festival Ground.

The two princes and one princess of Yongxing didn’t look towards the other nations. The competitors in their eyes, were each other!

Cooperation?

Impossible.

Even if they were representatives of Yongxing, they would only fight for themselves, and whether they would take action on their own men depends on their mood. They have this privilege.

Because Yongxing, was the strongest of the Seven Great Nations.

And they, were the noblest princes and princesses of Yongxing.

“The time has come, all representatives of the lords to enter the arena immediately.”

In the sky, an imposing voice echoed.

The Lord of Luo Fu Mountain stroked his beard, “Go ahead, we will wait for your triumphant return outside.”

Mu Yuan, Ba Long, Wuji and others, walked towards the entrance shrouded in mist.

Their figures gradually disappeared into it.

A moment later, the mist in front of them slowly dissipated, leaving only traces drifting between heaven and earth.

What came into sight was a tall and vigorous giant tree.

One giant tree after another stood here, each about two hundred meters high, like a hundred-story building standing on the ground. The crowns of the giant trees were dense, blocking the sunlight. Through the gaps in the leaves, one could vaguely see the dense white mist floating outside the giant forest.

That was a forbidden area.

The area of activity was limited to the giant forest that was two to three hundred meters high. Any higher, and the competitors would be teleported out of the field and eliminated on the spot.

After another glance around, he was alone, and it was extremely silent all around with no sounds of insects or birds.

Mu Yuan wasn’t surprised.

Anyone who enters the Chaos Forest is affected by its space rules and randomly scattered to various areas.

However, lords from the same power could join to form a stronger team if they met.

While pondering, Mu Yuan stretched out his hand, the Lord’s Seal on the back of his hand shining brightly.

Dead Bone, Duo Lai, Seventeen… one lieutenant after another stepped out.

General Dead Bone looked around, his soul flame dim, “This place is very special, my perception is being suppressed, I can’t clearly map out the surrounding terrain and environment in my mind.”

This is very dangerous! It’s not stable.

We need to be more cautious and vigilant.

“Hmm.” Mu Yuan said, “The space here is confusing, even what you see with your eyes may not be true. In such an environment, sneak attacks are easier in combat, so we need to… ”

Duo Lai widened his eyes and looked around.

The giant forest was quiet and seemed calm.

It shook its head, it was still better not to think, it’s too hard for Benduo.

Among the ten lieutenants, those with scouting and investigative abilities were Tree Demon Granny and Sophia.

The former, Tree Demon Granny connected herself to the giant trees next to her with a tuft of tendril-like roots, turning the surrounding trees into her eyes.

The latter, Sophia gently snapped her fingers, using her Epic Skill ‘Dark Crow Storm’ to create a flock of black crows. The black crows flapped their wings and flew into the dense forest, becoming her eyes.

But the giant forest was big, it was hard to find other lords’ teams for a while.

—Other lords must know how to hide their tracks too.

Everyone wants to be the hunter.

The most likely to expose one’s whereabouts is when combining Heaven and Earth Scroll into artifacts. Then, the light patterns will spread, and no matter how the artifact holder hides, they will be exposed to people nearby.

Tactics and luck are important.

But only with enough strength, can the latter be realized.

Mu Yuan took out his scroll, with the character ‘Earth’ written on it.

He was pondering which tactic to use – he had prepared 279 tactics beforehand, and they fell into three major categories: hunting, anti-squatting, and harvesting.

While he was thinking, all of a sudden…

Hum— —

The invisible power of space had descended.

After all, they were just the ‘weak’ at the third and fourth orders, completely unaware of the profound power of space, Duo Lai could only crudely utilize spatial devour. By the time Mu Yuan sensed the arrival of the spatial power, he returned to his senses only to find that Dead Bone Duo Lai and others around him had disappeared.

Only Xi Liu remained by his side.

Were they separated?

“We have encountered a spatial dislocation within ten minutes of entering, and it most unluckily occurred right in the center of their team. This luck…”

One could say it was explosively fortunate get broken up so soon.

But on second thoughts…

No matter, their glamorous star team congregating derived only a sense of waste.

Among the 279 battle strategies he prepared, this kind of situation was also estimated.

‘Ding-‘

‘Tactical quantity: 279 -> 21’

According to the current situation, he still had 21 sets of tactics that he could use.

“The most important thing at this moment is to protect myself. Once the Lord is eliminated, all my division generals will be withdrawn.”

Therefore, he allowed Xi Liu to hold him and connect with the same source of power.

To avoid the power of space from descending again and separating them once more.

However, even if he was alone, Lord Shepherd was still very confident in his own power.

Later, Mu Yuan activated the seeds of spirit on his division generals, but frowned once again.

“As expected, the spirit connection talent is not so useful when interfered with by a special field.”

He could not communicate with Lu Liu, Seventeen and others, he could only barely sense the general direction and number.

However, with Dead Bone and Duo Lai, due to their Hero-Lord status, intermittent communication could still be maintained.

“The team has been split into five parts.”

“Myself and Xi Liu, Dead Bone alone, Duo Lai alone, Tree Demon Granny and Hong Yi, and the remaining Sario, Lu Liu, Seventeen and others are together.”

He couldn’t communicate with Lu Liu, Seventeen and others, but…

According to the plan he had prepared earlier, after discussion, Lu Liu and others decided to continue dividing the team.

Tian Yuan’s strong ones scattered into various parts of the forest.

Will they be the prey or the hunters?

Time slowly passed by.

Outside the Chaos Forest, the bigwigs of all countries were quietly waiting.

They looked at the forest. The forest was shrouded in mist, and they couldn’t see anything.

They could only wait for someone to leave the game before they could understand the situation inside through verbal tales.

“Hope the kids can make it.”

Somewhere in the Chaos Forest, General Duo Lai was swaggering through the forest.

Hundreds of meters away, on a densely branched tree, a Lord squinted his eyes.

“She’s alone.”

“Has she been affected by the displacing space and fallen alone? What an opportunity!”

An arrow flooded with flame shot out, as if to penetrate the stars.

At the same time, three high-order mages reached out their hands and used the ‘Gravity Spell’ to suppress the target.

Also at the same time, several head leaders of minotaurs jumped down from the tree branches, holding twin axes and chopping towards the petite figure.

With such a combo and such cooperation, the pedestrian Lord couldn’t think of any chances of failure.

Even the strong ones from the big countries would be instantly killed.

That’s cooperation!

He seemed to see the surprised blue-haired girl panicked and found herself helpless under the pressure of three gravity spells, and then she was pierced by the sharp arrows and smashed by the huge axe.

The advantage is mine!

The blue-haired girl turned around, her big eyes were first filled with surprise and doubt, then followed by joy.

The three descending gravity spells were like a breeze, stirring no ripples.

The darting arrow covered in flames was caught in a large hand, then it was crushed.

The huge axe…

Several seconds later,

“That’s right, standing in front of you is the super, super amazing, General Duo Lai.”

Next to Duo Lai, a large hand materialized and crashed down hard on the Lord.

Boom–

In the pit, the pedestrian Lord had disappeared, leaving only a scroll lying quietly here.

“Is Benduo the first to get a scroll? As expected of Benduo!”

Yes, that was its clever tactic.

Probably.

Tian Yuan’s division generals, squads, and powerful individuals were all hunting in their own unique ways.

The steadfast type;

The harmless type;

The {easy gains} type;

The spider webbing type;

Somewhere else,

A small team led by a Lord from the Shen Yao nation was slowly moving through the jungle.

The nameless Lord started to furrow his brows, suddenly feeling a little uneasy.

He gazed around.

The huge forest was dark and seemed to be a devouring mouth, but that was the environment of the Chaos Forest.

“No, isn’t it?! Don’t you guys realize that the roots and vines are somewhat excessive in this area?”

“Hey, guys….”

The Lord wanted to ask for his division generals’ opinions, but when he came back to his senses, he found out that his team was missing people.

A chilling sensation surged to his crown in an instant.
