Chapter 172: The Final Exam

Early in the morning, the morning light was dim, and a burst of footsteps broke through the silence of the valley.

On the deep valley road, a group of figures were hurried towards the entrance of the valley.

Mu Su and five other teachers walked at the front of the team, followed by Bian Yao and twenty-three late-stage Meng Kuang, followed by six swordsmans, including Mu Qingge, walked at the end of the team.

Today, they will devote themselves to the vast primeval forest to participate in the "Death Trial".

Among the group, including the teaching, no one spoke. Each of them looked solemn, and each took steady steps and walked towards the exit of the valley in a solemn manner!

Time is not long, and the crowd walks away from the valley and is in a tall and green forest of giant trees.

The morning light has not yet penetrated the lush branches and leaves, and the light in the forest is not very bright.

Under the guidance of the teacher, Bian Yao and others lined up into the forest, passed through the dense thick trees, and headed towards the south.

About a moment later, a vast land worth more than ten feet in radius appeared in front of everyone. The open space was manually cleaned up and used as a gathering point.

Bian Yao glanced around and found that the three people in charge, Mu Qiyuan, Jian Gu Mu Jian, Baihua Gu Mu Lingxiang, etc., seemed to have arrived at the gathering place in advance, standing quietly on the east side of the open space.

On the west side of the open space, sixty-eight hunters wearing wolf-faced masks had already been divided into five elements and thirteen columns, standing neatly there. The pairs of eyes with hidden green light shone through the two holes in the mask, staring coldly ahead, with sharp eyes as sharp as blades.

These "hunters" are all elites drawn from all over Mu County. Their realm and cultivation are at the peak of Mengmai. Their identities are extremely experienced criminal arrests and forest patrolers, who are good at detecting, tracking and capturing.

Participants in the hunting death test are divided into two parties: hunters and escapees.

Bian Yao and twenty-nine people who walked out of the valley naturally belonged to the "escapers".

Among all the "escapers", the six sword cultivators who are recognized as the strongest are Mu Chen and Jian Gu. Among them, Mu Qingge and Mu Xiao have been in the sword mad realm for a short time, so their basic cultivation is slightly weaker.

Under Mu Su's instructions, Bian Yao, Mu Qingge and twenty-seven Wood clan children stepped to the center of the open space, standing scattered but orderly.

Then, Mu Lingxiang moved forward and distributed a special timer to each "escaper".

After the host announces that the "Hunting Death Decision" begins, the twenty-nine timers will automatically turn on the timing function. Every time a hunter defeats and captures a fugitive, the timer equipped on the other party will be confiscated as soon as possible and turn it off.

According to the old rules, the master of the Valley explained the rules of "the death test" with a solemn expression in front of all the referencers.

After saying that, Mu Qiyuan looked at the fugitives meaningfully. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said two words: "Time!"

In an instant, the crowd seemed to be frightened by a gathering of birds, and it collapsed with a bang!

But I saw twenty-nine figures, like arrows leaving the string, suddenly shot in different directions around me.

In just three or two breaths, all the "escapers" had disappeared into the dense forest and completely disappeared.

On the clearing ground, the master of the valley and the teachers stood quietly, with different expressions.

All sixty-eight "hunters" sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to meditate and regulate their breathing.

Time flowed silently, and a moment passed quickly.

Mu Qiyuan spread his palms and glanced at the timer, and suddenly shouted: "Chasing!"

Before he finished speaking, sixty-eight figures rose up one after another, and one by one, like hungry falcons, rushed up and rushed towards the jungle in all directions.

Among them, nine hunters, each three formed a team and rushed to the northeast one after another. A moment ago, the direction where Mu Qingge escaped was the northeast.

Mu Qiyuan turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the northeast, with a calm expression and no abnormality was seen on his face.

Seeing the hunter's figures hidden in the forest, Mu Su thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Although he is only in the realm of sword madness, he has excellent talent and combat understanding. Isn't there any problem with this arrangement?"

"Do I need to follow me and stare in the dark?" A teacher next to me took a half step forward and asked in time.

Mu Qiyuan raised his right hand lightly and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for it, saying, "No need! The nine people are the most experienced hunters, and two of them are only half a step away from the Dream King, and they can break the realm at any time! The three hunting teams divided into these nine people, no matter which team catches up first, will be more than enough to deal with him! What's more, he doesn't know his situation yet, and he is caught in such an obvious disadvantage, and there is no reason to be spared."

Mu Lingxiang, who was beside him, couldn't help frowning, his expression seemed a little complicated. He was silent for a while, and finally suppressed his unbearable feeling in his heart and asked: "He is a swordsman. In terms of speed... can the hunter catch up?"

Mu Qiyuan smiled softly and said confidently: "This is not a wide plain. In the forest environment, he cannot fully utilize his advantage in speed. In comparison, the 'hunter' who has been chasing this forest for many years has more advantages. Although it takes more time and energy, it is only a matter of time to catch up with him!"

************************************

The lush ancient forest is quiet and silent.

Suddenly, a gray-white figure flashed and ran rapidly among the dense forests. The ground covered with fallen leaves in the old year moved rapidly with its paces, making a rustling sound.

Bian Yao gathered his mind and stared forward, leaned forward, and his feet quickly stepped on the ground. The slightly wet air rushed towards him, and the sound of the wind whistled past his ears.

Inside the sight, towering ancient trees were quickly retreating behind.

According to the countermeasures discussed the day before yesterday, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from the teachers, when Mu Qiyuan shouted the word "time", Bian Yao chose to escape eastward. After running for a long distance, he turned toward the northeast.

About half a moment later, Bian Yao finally saw the gray figure with the sword in his arms, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly accelerated to catch up.

After a brief conversation, the two figures suddenly separated.

Mu Qingge suddenly accelerated and shot towards the left side, and ran to the rear right. The two of them were one in front and one behind, keeping the distance at about fifty feet. The route of travel was roughly parallel, and flew towards the northeast.

What the fugitive needs to do is of course escape and try his best to avoid hunting!

Mu Qingge, the escapee, is essentially different from other "escapers". He is doing a real escape! He knows that there will be hunters chasing behind him. The two of them stay for a while, their hearts are hanging together, and they run fast in the deep jungle.

In the jungle environment, this way of traveling is not only extremely physically consuming, but also consumes spiritual power very quickly.

The first two hours were fine, but every half an hour later, Bian Yao would throw a few spiritual fruits into his mouth and swallow them all into his stomach.

The shadow of the sun gradually rises, quietly turns to the middle of the sky, and then falls westward.

After the sky darkened, Bian Yao and Mu Qingge once again narrowed the distance between the two sides and then advanced together. Until night fell, the forest was dark and the two still dared not stop, but their speed slowed down a lot compared to the day.

In this way, the two of them rushed all night and did not dare to relax at all.

At dawn the next day, the two stopped strides, adjusted their rest for about a moment, and then opened the distance again and continued on the road to escape.

As noon approached, three quick figures suddenly appeared not far behind Bian Yao.

Suddenly sensing the approaching of the hunter, Bian Yao quickly turned around and looked at it, his face showed a hint of panic, then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the east to escape.

Seeing this, the three hunters turned their heads and exchanged glances. They did not chase after them, but just spread a little and accelerated to encircle the northeast.

Mu Qingge quickly shuttled between the vast forests, carrying the Park Sword wrapped in blue cloth behind him, which was a little different from the past. This time he only wrapped the scabbard part, leaving the hilt of the sword without covering the cloth.

While running, Mu Qingge's eyes sternly sternly, he suddenly stopped, turned around and stood in front of a big tree, looking calmly towards the back.

After counting breaths, three figures wearing wolf-faced masks jumped out of the tree, forming an inverted triangle formation, and appeared in the field of vision.
