Chapter 45 Conspiracy
In the sight, Xiao Muyu was holding a sword, her dress fluttering , her long black hair hanging down to her waist, revealing a charming smile. She glanced at Ling Chen and said, "Ling Chen, you are late. This Night Wolf King is now my prey."
Ling Chen pulled the reins and stopped, shaking his head, "This Night Wolf King is very powerful. It won't be easy for you to hunt him down."
"That may not be the case!"
Xiao Muyu thrust out with his sword, and the sword light condensed into one point, as if a drop of water condensed on the tip of the sword, pointing towards the belly of the Night Wolf King.
Yu Ling sword technique: dripping water wears away stone!
Phew!
The sword light instantly broke through the Night Wolf King's skin, creating a big hole in his abdomen.
With a wail, the Night Wolf King flew backwards more than ten meters, knocking down the trees on a path, creating a mess.
"Nice sword!"
Ling Chen's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this seemingly soft sword could have such strong penetrating power. Xiao Muyu's strength was indeed extraordinary. As Prince Tai said, he was a strong opponent.
Xiao Muyu glanced at Ling Chen who was standing in the distance, smiled with bright eyes and white teeth, and said: "This water droplet piercing stone is the most powerful attack in the Yuling sword technique. Even if it is just a drop of water, it can penetrate gold and break stone, and it is indestructible."
"Well, it is indeed incredibly powerful."
Ling Chen nodded, and just when he was about to say something else, his sight suddenly turned, and he saw that the Night Wolf King that had been knocked down by the sword actually got up again and rushed towards Xiao Muyu with red eyes.
As soon as Xiao Muyu turned around, the Night Wolf King pounced on him, standing up with its entire huge body, looking extremely ferocious.
call out!
At this moment, a sharp arrow broke through the air, pierced into the wound of the Night Wolf King and exploded.
With a scream, the Night Wolf King finally fell heavily to the ground with a bang and died.
Xiao Muyu breathed a sigh of relief. It was really too thrilling just now. If Ling Chen hadn't shot and killed the Night Wolf King, she would probably have been attacked by the beast. Although she wouldn't lose her life, she would definitely have been seriously injured.
"no need to thank me."
As if he had caught a glimpse of Xiao Muyu's grateful eyes, Ling Chen stretched out his hand and rejected Xiao Muyu's gratitude early on, "If you really want to thank me, why don't we make a deal."
Ling Chen showed a smile, it was obvious that he had planned this in advance.
"What deal?"
Xiao Muyu was a little surprised. She wanted to hear what kind of deal Ling Chen wanted to make with her in this royal hunting ground.
"There are many opponents in this hunting ground. We are inevitably outnumbered by one person. Why don't we cooperate and aim for the first place in this hunt?"
Ling Chen analyzed the situation and advised, "If you really win first place in the end, the 100,000 taels of gold and the title of first place will be yours, and the Void Spirit Pill will be mine. How do you think?"
For ordinary people, participating in hunting is undoubtedly to increase fame, and rewards come second. However, Ling Chen is pragmatic and does not care about empty fame as long as it is useful to him.
Moreover, one hundred thousand taels of gold is also a huge amount of wealth, and its value is no less than that of a Xu Ling Pill.
It’s just that things like Xu Ling Dan are often out of stock.
"It looks like I made a lot of money on this deal."
One hundred thousand taels of gold and the title of first place, no one would refuse it, and Xiao Muyu is no exception. The Xu Ling Pill is useless to her who has already broken through to the martial artist realm.
"How is it? This should be a win-win situation for both of us. It's definitely not a loss for you."
Ling Chen said with a smile, any rational person would not refuse such conditions.
"Okay, I promise."
As Ling Chen expected, Xiao Muyu finally agreed to cooperate with him.
"Then let's work together to win first place!"
Ling Chen stretched out his hand with a smile on his face. With Xiao Muyu's help, he was more confident of taking first place this time, and his chances of winning were greatly increased.
"If we can hunt a mid-level second-grade or higher exotic beast, then the first place will be a sure thing. I just don't know if there are any exotic beasts of this level in this hunting ground."
Ling Chen glanced around, a sharp look in his eyes.
"A monster of the second-grade mid-level or higher can only be dealt with by a warrior at least at the third level or above. If we encounter one, I'm afraid we won't even have time to escape."
Xiao Muyu shook his head and just smiled at Ling Chen's bold idea. He continued, "It is said that there is indeed a second-grade intermediate-level exotic beast in this hunting ground. It is called the Dragon Pattern Leopard . It is rumored to have a trace of the blood of the ancient mythical beast Azure Dragon in its body. It is in the deepest part of this hunting ground. Whoever can hunt down this Dragon Pattern Leopard will basically be the champion of this hunt."
"But unfortunately, among these sixty-nine young warriors, no one can do it."
The dragon-patterned leopard was very powerful, and Xiao Muyu thought that he was no match for it. Even the eldest prince, the strongest among this group of people, was still no match for the dragon-patterned leopard.
"No one can do it, I think it means fighting alone." Ling Chen's eyes flickered, and then he changed the subject, "If we gather together, it may not be possible."
"Hold together?"
Xiao Muyu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Yes, she and Ling Chen could cooperate, so wouldn't others think of cooperating? Although the dragon-patterned leopard was powerful, it couldn't stand a large number of people.
While she was still pondering, Ling Chen had already jumped on his horse, emitting an exciting aura.
"Let's go, target... Dragon Pattern Leopard."
drive!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chen had already ridden out on his horse, galloping towards the depths of the hunting ground, taking the lead.
"This guy, has he already considered the dragon-patterned leopard as prey? What a crazy idea."
Xiao Muyu gave a bitter smile. The dragon-patterned leopard was the king of the exotic beasts in the royal hunting ground. It was hard to say whether the two of them were its match. If they were not careful, they might even lose their lives here.
Ling Chen was only at the warrior level now. Even with her, it would be quite dangerous to kill a second-grade middle-level monster.
But now that we have agreed to cooperate, we can only give it a try. If the situation really doesn't look good, it should still be in time to withdraw early.
…
At this moment, more than ten miles away, several men in black gathered together, as if discussing something.
"Where is Ling Chen now?"
One of the men in black, who was leading the group, asked.
"We spotted him not long ago. He was heading to the deepest part of the Royal Hunting Ground with Xiao Muyu."
A man in black reported.
"That's good. Where is the Green Demon? Has he been released?" the leading man in black asked again.
"He has been released from the prison, and is probably about to enter the depths of the hunting grounds. I have already told him the mission that the prince has assigned him, and I promised that as long as he completes this mission, I will pardon him."
"Well done." The leading man in black nodded, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.
This Green Demon was a powerful martial artist at the third level. He had committed many serious crimes in the Kingdom of Wind. Later, Prince Tai personally took action to capture him and put him in the Sky Prison.
"Your Excellency's plan of killing someone with a borrowed knife is really brilliant. Let the Green Demon kill Ling Chen. Even if something happens, it will not be blamed on us." The man in black grinned. He knew how cruel the Green Demon was. If Ling Chen and the other two fell into his hands, they would be worse off than dead.
“This is all the prince’s plan.” The leading black-clothed man shook his head, a hint of grimness in his eyes, “After the Green Demon kills Ling Chen, we must deal with the Green Demon as soon as possible, and not leave any clues. After all, there are so many eyes watching outside the hunting ground.”
"In addition, you must keep a close eye on Ling Chen. After he is killed by the Green Demon, take his body away quickly. Don't let any strange beasts eat his body. The prince wants his body."
"yes!"
Several men in black took orders and dispersed into the forest.
