Chapter 21: Crisis Lurking Everywhere, Proceed with Caution

  Evil Insect God

  Hu Hai didn't know that he had been targeted by so many people, and now he was thinking about how to get enough points as soon as possible. With a certain perfectionism, Hu Hai would not allow himself to have insufficient points to exchange for the Blood Refining Pill.

  He turned his head and took a glance, and in his heart, Hao Hai was secretly calculating: "With so many people, the points should be enough." According to the previous situation, the total number of points shouldn't be less than 100,000. Hao Hai recalled the result he had asked his father before. In most cases, the trial's points wouldn't be less than 100,000.

  The difficulty of the trial is high, and the number of people who pass through is small, but the total score is significantly higher. However, a large amount of points are concentrated in the hands of a few of the strongest students, as well as some students with their own teams, and after becoming a student, they also get more resources.

  Even some families have sent out people to help their younger generation earn points. These people meet the conditions, but they can only spend the rest of their lives in the family. Just like the He family, there is such a group of people.

  The Huo family didn't have one, firstly because the number of people in the Huo family was small, and it was difficult to gather such a team. Secondly, the Huo family valued individual strength and did not like to use this method. It was precisely because of this that, in terms of individual strength, the Huo family was absolutely the first in Western China. Seeing that almost everyone had entered, Huo Hai shook his head and quickly walked into the Nan Shan range.

  As he entered the mountain forest, Huo Hai felt as if he had entered another world. A very quiet, even eerily quiet place. A sense of crisis came from all directions, this was not a good place.

  "Huh, where did everyone else go? Wait a minute, could they be hiding? It seems that this trial allows us to attack each other."

  He thought of what his father had said before, that in every trial, there would be a number of people who died unexpectedly. As long as there was no evidence, no one would know who did it. Huo Hai's sense of crisis grew even more intense. It was just the spiritual beasts, but if humans were added to the mix, it would be different. Heaven knows what kind of methods these people would use to protect themselves.

  "Hurry up and hide, it's not good if someone finds out." Ho Hai thought for a moment and quickly hid in the bushes. Wilderness survival, this is something Ho Hai has never been in contact with before. Even the forest, it was his first time entering.

  Huo Hai wasn't worried, because others were just like him, with poor hiding and tracking abilities. As for those who were skilled, if he encountered them, he could only blame his own bad luck. "Fortunately I have the Gu insect, otherwise I'd really be in trouble."

  While thinking, Huo Hai communicated with the Star Worms and scattered them out. When a large number of Star Worms gathered together, they emitted a crystal-like glow. After dispersing, they were not so eye-catching. On the contrary, the light on their bodies made it easier for them to blend in with the sunlight and moonlight, making it easy for people to overlook them. Under Huo Hai's control, half of the Star Worms flew out.

  The remaining half fell on Huo Hai's clothes, making the clothes seem like they were made of special material. Thinking about Huo Hai's identity, everyone wouldn't think there was a problem. Not long after, Xing Huang passed on the message through Xiao Xing.

  Huo Hai quickly walked in one direction, under a rock, and saw a white thing. "Haha, found it so soon, looks like my luck is good." This was an integral card, representing one point.

  Huo Hai picked up the card and casually put it in his pocket. This card was extremely thin, even if several thousand were placed in the pocket, there would be no obstruction. Ten cards stacked together were not as thick as a sheet of paper on Earth in his previous life. It's really unknown how such a thin card could be made, with its toughness being so good.

  Just as he put away the card, Huo Hai hadn't even lifted his head when a gust of wind sounded above him. "Not good, someone is attacking, danger." Suddenly ambushed, Huo Hai's face changed color, and for a moment he didn't react at all.

  Never had a fight with anyone, and as the dominant soul on Earth, being attacked by someone and able to counterattack effectively is what's strange. Huo Hai's behavior was very normal, but this normal behavior led him into danger. Huo Hai felt his whole body stiffen, and for a moment he didn't react at all. "Damn it, am I going to die here?" Huo Hai's mind went blank.

  At this moment, the Star Gu automatically started to protect. The Star Gu, which felt its master's danger, instantly flew up from Huo Hai's body. The arrow that shot over was even faster than the speed of the Star Gu. A group of Star Gu quickly blocked between Huo Hai and the arrow.

  The star moths formed a sheet, like a faintly glowing shield. The arrows shot into the star moths as if they had fallen into water, disappearing instantly. "Hmph, I didn't expect your spiritual energy to be so pure, I underestimated you."

  At this time, a young voice came from the top of his head. Huo Hai turned around and looked up. It turned out that there was already a mercenary dressed guy staying on a tree here. Even that card was deliberately placed here by him.

  Hu Hai glared at him fiercely: "Why did you attack me?" Hu Hai was very angry and also very puzzled. Even if he wanted to attack others, why not wait until he got a lot of cards before doing so? This guy had been staring here all the time, it was obvious that he knew there was a card here. Unfortunately, he was on the tree, and Xing Huang didn't fly that high, so he didn't discover this person's trail.

  "Hmph, why? Of course it's to reduce the number of competitors. People like you from large families are our greatest rivals. If you didn't die, how could we join the Imperial City Academy?" The Imperial City Academy, a place that people yearn for.

  Unfortunately, it has always been dominated by the big families. It's extremely difficult for ordinary people to get in. In all aspects of resources and training, they can't compare with these people, and their numbers are not as many as theirs. If you don't kill them off, how can you stand out yourself?

  "Hmph, you're lucky to have met me, kid. You've never killed anyone before, have you? Too bad, today's the day you die. You should feel honored to be killed by my Broken Spirit Arrow. This is a ten-spirit-stone-per-shot arrow, of course, but I suppose ten spirit stones don't mean much to you people." It was only then that Huo Hai realized that all this chatter was just a way to stall for time.

  Taking advantage of the time to speak, the young man quickly moved and opened a box, carefully taking out an arrow. The arrow was crystal clear, emitting a faint glow, with special runes on it.

  The Spirit Breaking Arrow, this thing's name, Hao Hai had also heard of it. It was specially used to break through spiritual defenses and was a sharp tool for assassinating earth-level spiritual masters. He hadn't expected to encounter it here today. Before Hao Hai could speak, the young mercenary drew his bow and shot an arrow.

  The arrow became a stream of light, and he seemed to have already seen the scene where Huo Hai was shot through by the sharp arrow, falling to the ground and wailing. For someone from a large family like him, being able to brutally kill one person is truly a great pleasure in life. Anyway, there's no one around, as long as the body is destroyed and all evidence is eliminated, no one will know it was done by himself. Maybe it was eaten by some kind of spirit beast.

  Huo Hai didn't have time to speak, and hastily ordered all the surrounding Star Gu to come and protect him. The scattered Star Gu gathered again, forming a shield-like shape. With Huo Hai in command, this time the shield was even denser and looked better.

  All of this could not conceal the powerful strength of Xīng Huì. The arrow flew between the gaps in the arrows and hit the shield, then disappeared silently as before. Only Chǔ Yún Tiān knew that it was not the arrow that had disappeared, but rather the arrow had been eaten by Xīng Huì. This thing had a huge appetite, could eat anything, digest quickly, and even use this to enhance its own strength.

  "How is this possible." The young man's smile stiffened on his face. He had never thought that the broken spirit arrow he spent ten spirit stones, nearly a third of his net worth, to buy would not only be useless but also disappear.

  If it weren't for not wanting to be discovered, he really couldn't bear to use the Broken Spirit Arrow. The Broken Spirit Arrow can only be used once, and after recovery, it takes a whole day before it can be used again. If damaged, it may even become unusable forever.

  But, why did it completely disappear the first time I used it? "You, you bastard, where did you hide my Broken Spirit Arrow?" The young mercenary's anxious eyes had turned red. No matter what his previous thoughts were, a young person is still a young person after all, lacking in depth of experience. Otherwise, he wouldn't have set up an ambush in such a close proximity to the exit.

  Huo Hai was attacked twice in a row, and both times were attempts to kill him, which thoroughly enraged him. If his Star Gu hadn't been released by him beforehand, if the Star Gu's intelligence wasn't relatively high, it would have automatically protected its master.

  "My life was lost long ago. This bastard, how dare he speak to me like that, does he really think I'm afraid of killing people? 'Xiao Xing, take care of this guy.' Huo Hai's body surged with murderous intent."

  It seems that he realized something was wrong, the young mercenary suddenly drew an arrow, a large amount of spiritual power poured in, preparing to take down Huo Hai first.

  Unfortunately, before he could even draw his bowstring, the Star Wasp had already arrived. It heavily crashed into the young mercenary's body, immediately creating a hole. Injured by the insect, the young mercenary felt an intense pain all over his body. But just at this moment, the Star Wasp suddenly bit into the young man's body and began to move inside him, eating as it advanced.

  Severe pain made the young mercenary tremble all over, sweat profusely, and fall to the ground wailing incessantly. However, Huo Hai turned a deaf ear to it, ordering Xing Huang to continue attacking. Anyone who dared to lay hands on him would have to pay the price of being killed by him.

  Not long after, the young mercenary choked out his last breath amidst the wailing, as the Star Worm had already bitten through his internal organs. The Star Worm ate quickly, and arrows could be gnawed away in an instant; human flesh was even easier to devour.

  Because the star worm's speed was too fast, the young man's body began to wither away. After a moment, the young man's body turned into a piece of skin. Finally, even this piece of skin quickly disappeared.
