C2791 Hunting Competition
Zhao Gongming stretched his neck and looked at it. He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this mission won't work either. Capture ten groundbreaking rats. I know these groundbreaking rats. They are not strong. But it's very hard to find, and it's a kind of demon beast that lives underground. If you squat down, you might not be able to catch them even after ten days or half a month. "
"Alright, then there are only two left. One is to catch a Emberwing Snake, and the other is to participate in the Hunting Race." Lee Yifann pondered.
He didn't know who the Emberwing Snake was, but he had never heard of it before.
"This Emberwing Snake is a demon beast that exists in the volcanic zone. If I remember correctly... Among the nine great mountain ranges in the outer region of the Jade Dragon Immortal City, only the Fire Vine Mountain is a volcano. There might be a Fire Winged Snake. But didn't I hear that the Emberwing Snake has been extinct for decades? If we're looking for them, we might not be able to find them."
Zhao Gongming had a lot of knowledge about the situation in Jade Dragon Immortal City. He even knew about the Fire Winged Snake, a demon beast that had been extinct for decades.
Lee Yifann was stunned, "Then only the Hunting Race is left. What is this Hunting Race?"
Ding Jue looked at him and explained, "This is an activity that the Fly Cutter Pavilion will have every year. You guys are just in time. The Fly Cutter Pavilion happened to be in the Southern District. Every year, they would go to the Dragon Expecting Mountain to organize a Hunting Race. Their goal is to hunt some demon beasts through the Hunting Race. "
Fly Cutter Pavilion?
When Lee Yifann heard this name, he immediately thought of the Flying Sword Pavilion.
If his guess was correct, this Fly Cutter Pavilion should be the same as the Flying Sword Pavilion, both of them were under Heavenly Sword Immortal King's command.
"Why is this Fly Cutter Pavilion hunting demon beasts? Is it just for the sake of obtaining resources?" Lee Yifann didn't believe that the Fly Cutter Pavilion would organize the Hunting Race once a year, but their goal was so simple.
"Of course not." Ding Jue smiled. "This Hunting Race isn't just for the sake of obtaining resources, it is also an important way for the Fly Cutter Pavilion to recruit people. Those who perform well in the Hunting Race every year will not only receive the invitation of the Fly Cutter Pavilion to join the sect. We will also get the Immortal City Federation's attention."
Upon hearing this, Lee Yifann revealed an expression as if he had expected this.
He knew that the Fly Cutter Pavilion wasn't that kind. It turned out that they wanted to use this opportunity to recruit more people. He had to admit that they were quite crafty.
This was much easier than the Fly Cutter Pavilion recruiting people themselves. They would organize a competition to attract talents from all walks of life to compete with each other. They would be able to use the smallest price to recruit talented people.
Ding Jue seemed to have noticed that he was very interested in the Hunting Race. He quickly said, "But I don't recommend that you participate in this competition."
"What do you mean?" Lee Yifann was puzzled.
"Firstly, the purpose of this Hunting Race is to recruit people from the Fly Cutter Pavilion. Of course, if you guys stand out and refuse to join the Fly Cutter Pavilion, they won't force you. However, as the saying goes, a spear will strike the bird that stands out. If you guys act too ostentatiously, it will attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives. Secondly, every year, the people of the Hunting Race who participated in the competition were like carps in a river. Because this is a chance for those people with no background to stand out. Therefore, it had always been a fierce battle between dragons and tigers. There were even many people who lost their lives in the Hunting Race every year. Furthermore, I have already checked the guild's database. Up until now, in the four major branches... There are no less than ten mercenary groups that have accepted this mission! "
To put it bluntly, Ding Jue was reminding Lee Yifann not to join the Hunting Race if he was not strong enough. Otherwise, he might lose his life instead of completing the mission.
Lee Yifann blinked. He frowned and thought for a moment. "What kind of punishment will you receive if you accept the mission but fail to complete it?"
"Generally speaking, if the plot is not serious, at most a little credit points will be deducted," Ding Jue answered subconsciously. Then he suddenly reacted. "Are you determined to join the Hunting Race?"
"Hehe, I saw the reward of the Hunting Race. The mercenary group that completed the mission. They will get 100 team credit points and 5 personal credit points. There were also many spirit stones as rewards. The rewards are several times more generous than the other missions. What reason do you have to not participate? "
Lee Yifann looked at him and said with a smile," I know Manager Ding, you are worried that we may encounter danger because we are not strong enough. But if you don't believe me, can you still not trust him? "
He pointed at Zhao Gongming. Ding Jue was stunned for a moment, then he revealed a smile. "Alright! I still believe in Brother Zhao Ann's strength. "
Zhao Gongming was at least a Dao Reaching Stage. He could be an elder in a one-star sect.
In the Immortal City, Earthly Immortal Stage and Heavenly Immortal Stage might not be valued, but Dao Reaching Stage were respected by everyone. However, those who had reached the Dao Reaching Stage basically tried every possible way to join the sect and enjoy the treatment of being superior to others.
For someone like Zhao Gongming, who was already a Dao Reaching Stage, to not join any sect was already very strange.
It was also because of this that Ding Jue looked up to Zhao Gongming and maintained a good relationship with him.
Lee Yifann looked at the five people behind him and said, "I will accept this mission from the Hunting Race."
"No objections."
The five men nodded. "I'll listen to you."
No one had any objections. They had also heard of the Hunting Race. The competition was extremely difficult.
Wen Qiong, Zhang Daoling, Ge Hong, and Lee Xuanwu had to stand out among the four of them. It was very difficult, but Lee Yifann and Zhao Gongming were different. The two of them were definitely strong enough to stand out.
Completing this kind of difficult mission was the way to quickly raise the level of the mercenary group and obtain merit points.
After confirming that Lee Yifann and the others wanted to accept the mission, Ding Jue registered it and then the six of them left Immortal City Federation.
On the way back, Lee Yifann felt a little strange. "The Dragon Expecting Mountain is in the ninth circle, and the Fly Cutter Pavilion should be in the fourth circle, right? Why is the Hunting Race being held in such a far place?"
"Hehe, you don't know this."
Zhao Gongming shook his head and smiled. "The few laps in the core circle are basically their own places of residence. Unless it was necessary, they would not usually hold competitions in front of their own house. If they want to do it, they will also hold competitions in the first circle, the centermost area. However, being able to hold competitions in that kind of place, it would definitely be a large-scale competition hosted by the City Lord. For example, the Fly Cutter Pavilion was just a one-star sect. They had no right to organize a competition in the central area. Since they can't hold a competition at the entrance of the sect, they can only be placed at the outermost circle."
"So that's how it is," Lee Yifann suddenly realized, "Is it the same for the other sects?"
"Yes, although there are a lot of people participating in the competition in Hunting Race, it also sounds very big. However, compared to the large-scale competitions held by the City Lord, it was just a small competition. This kind of small competition is naturally placed in the outer circle. Besides, the purpose of the Fly Cutter Pavilion to organize the Hunting Race was to recruit people. At the same time, they could also obtain some resources from the Hunting Race. In the Immortal City, there were the most people gathered in the outer three circles. Therefore, it's reasonable to organize competitions in the outermost circle."
