Chapter 139 Enter The Demonic Monsters Territory (1/2)
At this moment, the competition was more than the magic spring and Belle's destiny. It was a matter of the rise or fall of the Lotus Holy Land and three Ancient Families!
By rights, the chiefs of the Ancient Families and the Holy Lord of the Holy Land were sophisticated figures that had lived above past generations, so impulsiveness shouldn't be their choice.
But human beings from all walks of life were all driven by greed. Who could be disinterested when faced with life-changing temptation? Especially if they had seen the great temptation before their very eyes, within their grasp to follow?
Under such tempting circumstances, an insignificant competition became a huge gamble implying a risk no one could avoid.
”I would like to announce that the second round of the competition, hunting, will commence now!
Each of our well-trained participants will be teleported to the demonic monster's territory. They will hunt in that arena for six hours. To compensate for your bravery and skill, you will be given credit to every monster you hunt. One credit for the supreme diabolic beast, who will probably take you by its cunning nature; 10 credits for a level one demonic monster, who will not hesitate to attack you in sight; and 20 credits for a level two demonic monster, the more intimidating and cleverer ones.
Anyone with the most credits will have the opportunity to change your opponent from the three given options in the next level of the competition!”
In a split-second, everyone internalized that the hunting was of great significance!
Having three options meant changing a stronger opponent with a weaker one in order to maintain strength and ensure confidence in battle until the final rivalry!
'This hunting competition is really favorable to me. I can take advantage of the duration of this competition to improve my talent, ' Darren smirked as he talked to himself.
To his secret delight, he knew he could barely spot a demonic monster under normal circumstances. Assimilating diabolic beasts would be quite hard to improve Darren's current level of talent, except for the hunting of the fearless demonic monsters. Moreover, he could have three options to hide his real strength until the final rivalry so as to increase the odds of winning considerably if he could surpass the others in the hunting competition!
'I must win over this hunting competition! Or else, I fear that I must exert eighty or ninety percent of my real strength to incessantly fight with one of the promising warriors of those three Ancient Families!' Darren pondered as he looked above.
”You have to remember one important thing. It's forbidden to kill each other or exchange blows among yourselves in the demonic monster's territory as this is not the battle for that, or else I will invite the witness of the bet--the Holy Lord Landon to kill any violator in person! Do you agree?” Colin asked three chiefs of the Ancient Families.
All three chiefs of the Ancient Families agreed after Colin finished the declaration of the rules everyone should abide by.
