Bai Zhiling didn't care about the teasing. She looked over in the blink of an eye. She didn't expect the girl called Qiqi to be the young girl who had blocked Hu Xiuling's whip.

Hee Qiqi seemed to have felt Bai Zhiling's gaze and turned around to look at her. He nodded at her without a trace of mockery or disdain.

Bai Zhiling raised her eyebrows as a sense of goodwill arose from the bottom of her heart.

"The time of the competition is four hours. You can all go and prepare for it now, which team will hunt the most prey as their standard for victory or defeat."

At the empress's order, everyone was waiting for them at the entrance to the woods.

"What bad luck. Why did we have to work with her? It won't ruin our reputation."

Bai Zhiling walked at the very back of her group. A petite girl in front of her mumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Sun Tian Rui, if you're unhappy, then scram. I didn't beg you to come." Hee Qiqi turned around and glared at the complaining girl. The girl was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything, but her expression turned ugly.

At the entrance to the woods, Hee Qiqi turned to them.

"Victory or defeat is a small matter. We are on the same team right now, so everyone needs to be united. Everyone has to follow the team and do not act alone. If anything happens, you have to bear the consequences!" After Hee Qiqi said that, his gaze finally landed on Bai Zhiling. Bai Zhiling found it funny. This little girl was afraid that she would disobey him, so she had to nod to show that she understood.

Clang! The gong sounded and the match officially began!

With Baili Zhen leading the group, they quickly rushed into the forest. Their group was at the very end of the line.

"Don't worry, if we run in like this, no matter how much the prey gets scared away, just by going in first doesn't mean we'll be able to hunt much more."

They waited until all the teams were in the woods before riding in.

There were a lot of towering trees in the forest, blocking out the sun. Only a few spots of light shining through the gaps in the dense foliage could be seen entering the forest.

From the light at the beginning to the cool darkness, everyone's eyes were not used to it.

"Ah, there's a rabbit there."

"Pfft!"

"Chi!"

Before the human could draw the bow, the grey rabbit was silent. A cold arrow pierced through its neck.

"This rabbit is one that I have my eyes on. If you want to hunt, then go find something else." Hu Xiuling smiled proudly and immediately picked up the rabbit.

Team One watched her back as she left with some anger in their eyes. It looked like these people didn't quite fit in with the empress's group …

Hee Qiqi's expression did not change at all. "If we have too many people, we will scare the prey. We will split into three groups, you three will be in a group, and you four in a group …" In the end, Hee Qiqi pointed at Bai Zhiling, indicating her to join him.

"Everyone, don't run too far. If you encounter any wild beasts, try to climb up a tree to place some powder. Then release the distress signal and wait for someone to rescue you."

"Got it."

Bai Zhiling was in the same group as Hee Qiqi and a gloomy girl.

Hee Qiqi looked around and pointed in a direction.

The trees there were mostly dense, and animals liked to hide in those places. It had to be said that Hee Qiqi had a lot of hunting experience.

"Be careful..." There are snakes. "

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, a gloomy voice sounded in Bai Zhiling's ears.

Unconsciously, she turned her head around and saw a green snake with long fangs lunging towards her to bite her!

Bai Zhiling's expression turned serious. She quickly turned her body to the side and reached behind the snake's head. In a split-second, she grabbed the snake and pressed it fiercely onto the ground. With her other hand, she pulled out the dagger from her waist.

The whole set of actions were as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water. They were all stunned when they looked at Hee Qiqi.

"What incredible speed …"

The gloomy voice made Bai Zhiling tremble. She put the snake gall into the small porcelain bottle she brought with her.

Bamboo Leaf Green's snake gall is a good thing.

"I didn't expect you to have two parts of true ability."

Bai Zhiling threw the dead snake into a bag on the horse and said with a smile, "How about being alone? You only use your heart to feel, not your ears to see." He mounted the horse.

"She is quite interesting." The gloomy voice sounded once more.

Hee Qiqi snickered as he looked at the young girl with the dead body's face. "With you acting like this, she's the only one who isn't scared."

A hint of indifference flashed across the gloomy face of the young girl's lifeless eyes.

Hee Qiqi was a good hunter. Although Bai Zhiling had never hunted before in her previous life, she had also trained in archery, and there was also Mu Yinyin, the gloomy looking girl, and Mu Yinyin who had hunted quite a number of prey in less than half an hour.

"It's about time. Let's go back first. We don't want to be separated from everyone."

The two of them had no objections as they rode their horses back.

However, just as Bai Zhiling was about to tidy up the horses' prey, a cobra suddenly sprung out from the bag!

Bai Zhiling had planned to take the cobra back to brew the medicinal wine, so she didn't kill it. Instead, she put it in her tight bag. She didn't expect to suddenly jump out.

The cobra jumped and landed on the horse's head. The horse was shocked when it saw the snake and almost kicked Bai Zhiling off its back with its hooves.

Bai Zhiling quickly grabbed the reins, but the horse was obviously frightened. It stomped its hooves and ran into the forest.

"Grasp the reins!" Be careful! " Hee Qiqi shouted and galloped after him, and Mu Yinyin followed.

Unfortunately, Bai Zhiling's frightened horse was too fast for Hee Qiqi and the rest to catch up!

"Qiqi, don't chase anymore. We might encounter danger if we continue chasing through the forest."

Hee Qiqi stopped his horse and looked at the darkening forest without saying a word.

Mu Yinyin was right. The more they walked in, the more they didn't know what they would encounter.

There is no need to add unnecessary damage.

"Send out the distress signal. Wait here, I'll go over to take a look." Hee Qiqi pointed to the other side.

Mu Yinyin nodded. Let Hee Qiqi be careful.

Bai Zhiling was lying on her horse while running. Seeing the horse running deeper and deeper, she had no choice but to pull out her dagger to stab at its neck!

The horse roared as blood spurted out from its neck. It struggled to run for a while before finally falling to the ground!

Bai Zhiling's body seemed to have collapsed from the impact, and she weakly slid down the horse …

Just as she was catching her breath, she suddenly felt something strange in the air.

She carefully got up from the ground and hid behind a thick tree to look into the depths of the forest … When he saw the few figures in the dark, his pupils suddenly constricted!
