Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 292: The Unfair Qualifying Round
Like Xu Shen, Asharuya also participated in the National Government Competition, which is why she did not sign up for this Hunter Competition.

The Hunting King Contest only takes place once every ten years, and it would be a pity to miss it.

Under Xu Shen's persuasion, Asharuya finally joined Ruoshui's team.

Another week has passed and the qualifiers have officially begun.

Hunters from all over the world flocked to the land of Baige.

The Baige Land is a battlefield between the Egyptians and the dead.

This area where the souls of the dead never fade away is filled with the bloody history of the Egyptian people's struggle against the souls of the dead.

The first step to entering the temple is to break through the blockade of the surging undead.

For Xu Shen, this was not a difficult thing.

He casually connected the stars into a picture, and transformed it into two sets of holy light cloaks that were draped over him and Asharuya. He neither stood out nor fell behind, blending in the crowd in a low-key manner, and from time to time he swung a few holy light swords to cut through the water.

They had been walking for most of the day, and all the undead that came close to Xu Shen and Asharuya turned into black smoke and dissipated like moths to a flame.

However, the luster of the Holy Light Robe remained as warm as before, without any sign of disorder.

Asharuya secretly glanced at this guy a few times, still looking calm and composed.

"abnormal!"

She couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This guy's control over magic is more powerful than she thought.

Thinking of the upcoming national competition, she couldn't help but feel discouraged.

As the captain of this year's Greek national team, she really couldn't see any possibility of defeating this pervert.

"If you want to watch it, just watch it openly. I'm not a stingy person."

Xu Shen spoke leisurely, glancing at Asharuya jokingly.

Asharuya said disdainfully, "What a small body! It's far less attractive than the little puppies I raised in Greece."

"That's right. When it comes to taste, we Chinese are not as good as you Europeans."

Asharuya glanced at Xu Shen suspiciously. She didn't expect this guy to admit it so readily, but she always felt that his tone was a bit weird.

Two hours later, Xu Shen and Asharuya arrived at Sunset Slope with the main force.

When they set out, there were more than 500 hunters, but by this point there were less than 200 left.

Of the more than 300 people, except for some who gave up at the beginning due to insufficient cultivation, the rest stayed in the Baige land forever.

There were crowds of people at sunset on Changpo, but Xu Shen felt sad.

The world of magicians is so cruel.

Especially hunters who have been walking on the line between life and death for many years, once they find that there is no hope of advancement, they will indulge in the enjoyment of a life of drunkenness and dreams and cannot extricate themselves.

When all the money is spent, they will hide in the mountains. Either they will come back alive to continue enjoying life, or they will be left dead in the wilderness and become food for demons.

The extravagant lifestyle of living a life of luxury and enjoyment has spread to almost all lower-class hunters.

They can always be found in places like bars and nightclubs.

Sometimes I think that people will die eventually, life is like a dream, and it is good to enjoy life for a while. No need to care about the grand and vigorous meaning of the world or follow the rules, it is enough to have come and enjoyed it.

"what happened to you?"

Asharuya looked at Xu Shen strangely.

"nothing."

Xu Shen shook his head.

I'm just thinking about my experiences in my previous life and feeling sorry for myself.

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the long slope of sunset, but it does not spread down like in the past. Instead, it is like a square-cut carpet crossing the high slope, dyeing the vast desert into a gorgeous golden ocean.

However, such spectacular scenery always brings pain and fear to the Egyptian people.

Because, every time the sunset falls in this way, the dark light from the Pyramid of Khufu, more than 70 kilometers away, will shine on the land of Baige.

Wherever the dark light shines, the undead will wreak havoc. This tide of the undead has lasted for three days. According to calculations, it will probably recede by the end of tonight, which is considered a relatively normal tide of the undead.

"Let's go. While Minghui is still here, let's go to the Sunset Temple."

Seeing more and more hunters climbing up the long slope, Xu Shen felt it was time to catch up.

This place is very close to the temple. Fortunately, Sunset Slope is considered an enemy-occupied area with very few undead creatures, which gives everyone a chance to catch their breath.

However, fewer undead does not mean fewer enemies.

After all, this is not the An Realm. There are fewer undead creatures along the way, but there are gradually more snake monsters.

"Wait a minute," Asharuya pulled Xu Shen aside and said, "This Sunset Temple is very strange. Legend has it that because the Pharaoh abandoned the ancient gods, the souls of the ancient gods began to get tired of humans. Any human who approaches the temple will be punished."

Xu Shen scoffed at this: "You believe in legends?"

Asharuya shook her head and said, "The rumor that the Sunset Temple curses people to death is true. Anyone who comes within three kilometers of the temple will have their body rot and die. It will be extremely miserable."

"Fuck, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Asharuya blinked and said innocently, "I forgot before."

I don't believe you, what did you forget?
Xu Shen cursed.

Small-minded bitch!
"Then what do we do now?"

"Let's see what they can do."

Asharuya pointed at the outsiders who were lured here by the Egyptian Hunter Union.

Xu Shen looked with pity at these fools who were unaware of the truth and were rushing towards the temple with all their might.

No wonder the attitude towards those who register is to accept everyone, and it is stipulated that any team that arrives at the temple, regardless of the degree of exploration, will be directly promoted to the finals.

No wonder there are so few Egyptian hunters participating in this preliminary round. It turns out that the trap was dug here.

"what!"

Suddenly, screams rang out one after another.

Xu Shen took out his binoculars and took a few glances. The skin of the hunters in the front looked like they had been splashed with sulfuric acid. It was a horrible sight.

The Egyptian Hunter Alliance is really heartless. They turned a qualifying match into a final with difficulty, but they didn't even give everyone a warning or two, causing everyone to not do enough homework and rush in rashly.

They are to blame for the deaths of these hunters here.

"Damn it, all the officials in the world are the same, there are few good ones!"

Xu Shen put away the telescope angrily.

Asha Rui looked at Xu Shen, who looked angry, with interest and said, "I'll tell you another piece of news. Maybe you'll be even angrier."

"what?"

"In fact, even without the Dark Light, the Sunset Temple will appear. The Hunter Alliance's claim that the temple cannot be found without the Dark Light is just a lie."

"Something's wrong," Xu Shen frowned and said, "This doesn't make sense."

"Hmm?" Asharuya raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you still expect those officials to make decisions that are in line with the ideas of the majority of people?"

"No," Xu Shen shook his head and said, "Not revealing the extent of the danger of the Sunset Temple is already a lack of virtue, and you have to choose the time when the dark light shines to let everyone in. This will offend other countries to death.

The person who can temporarily modify the rules of the qualifiers must be of high status. The person who can get to this position is probably not a brainless idiot. A person with normal intelligence makes such a decision that is obviously against common sense. Obviously, he has other purposes behind it. "

"Other purposes?"

Xu Shen thought for a long time and suddenly asked, "Where did you get the news that the little daughter of Queen Mother Medusa is about to shed her skin?"

Asharuya hesitated for a moment and said, "I have several informants in the Egyptian military."

"Fuck!"

Xu Shen was stunned.

This woman is really wild.

How dare this force, which is regarded as a forbidden fruit by all countries, interfere?
