Chapter Thirty-Three: Ambushed Again

  This time I rested for two days, which is equivalent to wasting two days. Although there is still a long way to go before the trial ends, time waits for no man, and other participants in the trial will not wait for anyone.

  The mountains and forests of Nanshan have been searched by many people multiple times. Probably only the deepest part of the mountain forest, where many people dare not enter, has a large number of high-level spiritual beasts. However, this is also the place with the most accumulated card points.

  This time, Huo Hai got a lot fewer card messages from Xing Huang. After half a day, he still hadn't gotten 100 integration cards. At this rate, by the end of the trial, he would only be able to get a very limited number of points. Even some slightly stronger spiritual beasts were being taken down by people working together and the integration cards were being divided up among them.

  There are now two ways to get cards. One is to venture into the mountains and forests, and the other is to rob others.

  The first one, must face a large number of high-level spiritual beasts, this is the most dangerous part of the trial. Similarly, it is also the real reason why basically no one can get too many cards in previous trials, all in the hands of spiritual beasts.

  As for the second method, after some thought, Huo Hai gave up. If he didn't kill anyone, how could these guys possibly hand over their cards obediently? But if he killed them, Huo Hai was very clear about his current situation. One misstep and it would be easy to lose control of his killing aura. However, precisely for the sake of perfectly refining his blood, he couldn't forcibly break through to the Ling Bone realm ahead of time.

  Can only wait until enough points are accumulated, go to the Imperial City College to get a large amount of Blood Refining Pills, and then break through. This is indeed contradictory. Forget it, don't think about that much, let's dive into the mountains first. Others can't deal with the spiritual beasts here, but that doesn't mean I'm not capable either.

  "Let's go, we'll continue south, deeper into the forest. I don't believe it, I still can't get enough points." Enough points? Ji Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, what did Huo Hai want so many points for? What was their use anyway.

  Isn't the Huo family short of money? If they're not short of money, why can't they help him get some points? Even if he's cultivating in the Imperial City Academy, it shouldn't require consuming that many points, right? If all else fails, they could just give some to him themselves.

  "Hmph, this guy doesn't come to ask for himself. If he came to ask for himself, I might have even given him the points he needs. As for Huo Hai, Ji Mu is getting more and more curious, but also more and more dissatisfied. The reason is strange, because this guy actually ignored me. Isn't that bad? Usually being stared at by so many people makes Ji Mu feel very uncomfortable."

  As the two people moved forward with their own thoughts, the route was quickly analyzed. This time, the one who followed up was He Fan, the third young master of the He family. The others had not yet had any deep grievances with Huo Hai.

  Sneak attack, best not to let others discover, otherwise the consequences will be very troublesome. Fortunately, now there is confidence, and He Hai doesn't want others to know either. Even following along the way, while helping He Hai clean up the traces he left behind.

  "Third Master, we can't speed up anymore. If we continue on, we might be discovered." A mercenary suddenly said in a low voice.

  After being outrun by Huo Hai last time, they had analyzed it. Based on the battle time and Huo Hai's approximate position at that time, they analyzed the extent of Huo Hai's scouting range. In this world, there are still capable people in various industries, even if their cultivation is not strong. However, in terms of tracking, these people are all top-notch experts.

  He nodded and didn't blame them: "Alright, let's slow down. How can we ambush that guy? We can't get close, so we can't attack. It's really troublesome." He felt for the first time that he had such a troublesome opponent.

  Getting close would be discovered, and being discovered wouldn't make him his opponent. But if he didn't get close, how could he launch an attack?

  At this time, a person next to him said: "According to our analysis, the target should be wanting to go deep into the depths of the southern mountain forest to deal with those spiritual beasts. He indeed has such ability. So, this road should be a straight line, we just need to arrive at the road he will pass through in advance and ambush, then we can achieve an ambush."

  He furrowed his brow and asked, "But we don't know if he'll keep going in advance. What if he changes his route?" Huo Hai's previous route had always been to go wherever there were points.

  Heaven knows whether this guy will enter the encirclement. Even if he walks forward with a purpose, won't he collect some cards along the way? The Imperial City Academy's point cards are still many, hidden in relatively more secluded places that have not been discovered by people.

  "It's come to this, and now it all depends on luck. If that person leaves the Nanshan area, Young Master will probably be in big trouble later." What kind of trouble? It's not just about life or death. What's more worrying is his right to inheritance. A powerful person has been causing him trouble all along. His own abilities will definitely be questioned by the family at that time.

  "Alright, I'll bet with you. If this doesn't work out, I don't know what will happen to me, but your names will probably be gone." He glanced coldly at his subordinates, he disliked gambling the most.

  Everyone nodded and then skirted around the area that Huo Hai might have investigated, a group of people ran towards the predetermined route. This time, it really depends on luck. Can't stay behind Huo Hai, even the traces left by Huo Hai will be lost.

  Soon, the group rushed ahead of Huo Hai and arrived at a place near Nan Shan. Fortunately, there were no powerful spiritual beasts here. Everyone looked at each other, then began to search for a suitable place to hide themselves.

  It's not just a matter of hiding and staying still, they're also worried about being discovered by Huo Hai. So they gather materials from around them, using leaves, branches, stones, etc., to surround themselves in the middle. If a person doesn't move at all, it's really hard for others to find them.

  This time, their luck was really good. Because Huo Hai didn't want to waste time, he simply ignored the other scorecards on the road and ran straight to the mountain forest. Those scattered cards no longer had any attraction. To get the most cards at the fastest speed, the powerful spirit beast in the mountain forest was still the best way to get them.

  The two of them almost ran in a straight line forward. As for the mountain forest, neither of them was unfamiliar with it, and their sense of direction was very good, so they didn't take any detours at all. Unconsciously, the two of them had already approached the range of the ambush circle.

  Huo Hai's starworms had been scouting around, sending back all sorts of messages. The last time he escaped, Huo Hai discovered that his control over the starworms actually had a certain range, which he hadn't noticed before.

  This range, with Huo Hai's current strength, is roughly around two thousand meters. Beyond this range, the Star Gu would lose contact with him and become disoriented, not knowing what to do. For this reason, Huo Hai did not leave the Star Gu in other teams for surveillance, but instead had it fly back. Always staying within a certain distance from himself.

  If it exceeds the range, it's not good, and some Gu worms may be lost. Now in the mountains and forests, every star Gu is a precious resource, and absolutely no loss is allowed. The star Gu exploration is only around the surrounding area of Huo Hai.

  Flying around, the news from Xinghuang came, there is no danger at all. In fact, this is a problem of Xinghuang's IQ itself.

  What Xing Xuan let the Star Gu probe was the integral card, people, and spiritual beasts. These people hid themselves in bushes or stones, and from the surface, it was impossible to tell that they were human. Even if he noticed their eyes, Xing Xuan wouldn't mind.

  In the eyes of Xīng Huì, these things are not humans, nor are they spiritual beasts, but rather very ordinary objects, so there is no danger. Huò Hǎi may have used Xīng Huì too much during this time and didn't suspect it at all. He directly believed in Xīng Huì's investigation, if there was no danger, then he could just move forward. Besides, basically nobody comes here anyway.

  "It's here, everyone get ready, the target has appeared. Later, go all out and kill Huo Hai, as for that other person, don't worry about it."

  After receiving the message, He Wang immediately ordered everyone to be ready to take action at any time. At the same time, He Wang's heart was also excited. I didn't expect this time's luck to be so good, and he really waited until he entered the ambush circle. This is great.

  As long as they can eliminate Huo Hai, it will be a great achievement in the future within the He family. Without an heir, the Huo family will eventually face decline and fall. Moreover, this heir is a guy with strong power and potential that makes people feel afraid.

  He didn't go all the way to the ambush circle, fearing unexpected things might happen, so he stayed at a distance. Completely outside the ambush circle. At this time, some people who couldn't attack Huo Hai began to quietly move forward. Every step was very careful, trying to get within range of Huo Hai and launch an attack. But fearing being discovered, everyone was very cautious.

  "Here comes the attack." As soon as Huo Hai entered the ambush circle, the captain narrowed his eyes and gave the order to attack.

  At this time, Huo Hai had already completely entered the small empty space. He took a distant look and his face flashed with excitement: "Great, we're almost deep into Nan Shan now. This is the most dangerous place in the entire Nan Shan trial grounds."

  The most dangerous, also means the greatest harvest, can get the most integral cards. This time, not only to make oneself's spiritual blood boundary points sufficient, but also the best to collect all the spiritual bone boundary. Perfect foundation, no matter what, one must do it. If even this thing cannot be done, what qualifications does one have to stand in this world?

  "Alright, you have to be careful, don't kill too many spiritual beasts at once. If there are too many, don't go and watch them up close. Otherwise, you won't be able to control yourself." Ji Mu said helplessly, anyway, he couldn't manage this guy.

  Just then, a "whooshing" sound suddenly rang out in his ear. Several silver-white rays of light flashed by from afar, and their target was none other than Ho Hai, who had an excited look on his face. At this moment, it just so happened that Ho Hai was at his most relaxed.
