The next day's itinerary was still extremely smooth, and Gao Xiaoqi and the three of them were able to accept the existence of many elves during dinner at night.
Among them, Liu Zhe showed a very high interest in elves, and spent almost the entire dinner time pulling Zou Cheng to ask questions.
And Zou Cheng, who is a social cow, chatted happily with Liu Zhe, but he didn't say too much key information, and made Liu Zhe scold his mother in his heart.
On the third day, the convoy finally arrived at the place that was originally planned to be farthest from human settlements.
In a forest.
Chapter 245 Hunting Trial
According to Gao Xiaoqi's plan, Jiang Ming and his convoy had to make a rather big bend to reach their destination this time, which was Xinghe City, the headquarters of Meihe Group.
During the third day's trip, everyone's convoy had already arrived at the outskirts of the Xinghai Forest, which straddled the junction of the third and fourth districts, and they had to travel a considerable distance further inside for the next trip.
Fortunately, after tonight, their next trip will slowly move away from Xinghai Forest, and the rest will basically be a smooth road.
As night fell slowly, as more and more nocturnal beasts began to move in the forest, Jiang Ming and his convoy did not dare to make too much noise. The three Earth Envoys had already turned on the low-energy mode that could simultaneously activate the camouflage function, and their speed had dropped to less than [-] kilometers per hour.
After finally finding a relatively secluded place to set up camp, it was almost eight o'clock.
"Sister Yan, is this the Xinghai Forest?" Jiang Ming, who finally got out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the rows of shadowy trees around him, and asked curiously.
"Hmm." Yan Xinyue looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly, and turned his head to look at Jiang Ming after finding that there was no abnormality for the time being. His tone was unprecedentedly serious: "By the way, I haven't been to this place for a long time. I remember that the last time I came was when I went to Quanfu City to participate in the hunting trial with Deputy Commander Du."
There was a bit of nostalgia in Yan Xinyue's tone: "Seven years have passed."
"Vice Commander Yan also participated in the hunting trial seven years ago?" Gao Xiaoqi came over at this time and asked curiously.
"Yes." Yan Xinyue smiled instantly: "Could it be that sister Xiaoqi is too?"
But after Yan Xinyue thought about it for a while, he shook his head again: "No, I don't seem to remember your name being among the people in District [-] at that time, and you shouldn't be old enough at that time."
As an ability user who is good at mental power, Yan Xinyue is quite confident in her memory.
"I really didn't participate." Gao Xiaoqi's tone was a bit heavy, "But a senior of my team did."
"Oh, senior? What's his name, maybe we've met before." Yan Xinyue said with a smile.
"Her name is Ying Xiaoqi."
"Ying Xiaoqi!" Yan Xinyue's expression froze when he heard the name, and he spoke again after a long time: "I remember her, she is indeed a very powerful person, but it's a pity, God is jealous of talents..."
The conversation between the two ended here, and Jiang Ming knew that this was not the time for him to talk. It was not until everyone returned to the car after eating that he looked at the co-pilot seat, which had been empty for a long time, and asked Yan Xinyue, who was sitting in the front driver, about this matter.
"I knew you would ask this." Yan Xinyue showed a tone that had been expected, "Xiao Ming, you should know about the hunting trial in Xinghai Forest."
"I know." Jiang Ming nodded and replied, and said the relevant information in his memory: "The hunting trial is the third and fourth districts to prevent the expansion of the Xinghai Forest to the human gathering area and to carry out the training for the younger generation of human beings. If there are no special circumstances, the grand event organized by experience will be organized once every four years, usually in late autumn."
Because Jiang Zheng also participated in this hunting trial on behalf of Binhai City three years ago, and came back with the first prize, so Jiang Ming still has a deep memory of this.
But that's all he knows. After all, the specific information of the hunting trial is strictly controlled by the officials. At most, the ranking will be disclosed to the outside world.
As for the Xinghai Forest, it is one of the largest collections of alien beasts in the Donghuang Federation. It spans the third and fourth districts, and with its rapid expansion over the years, it has covered two districts each close to 30.00% of the area.
Although the Xinghai Forest is located in the northern half of the Donghuang Federation, its interior has formed various terrains due to the influence of some powerful alien beast groups. The more it goes to the center of the forest, the more complicated it is, among which there are wetlands, swamps, even volcanoes, and hills. special terrain.
The alien beasts living in Xinghai Forest generally follow the principle of getting stronger and stronger from the outside to the inside. Even in the very center of the forest, it is said that there is more than one ninth-order alien beast.
With such a powerful Xinghai Forest, given the current strength of the Donghuang Federation, they will definitely not provoke them for no reason, but at the same time, it is impossible to just watch Xinghai Forest expand unscrupulously outside, so there will be hunting trials birth.
Since the hunting and trial areas were only on the outskirts of the Xinghai Forest, the strong alien beasts in the inner area would not turn against the Donghuang Federation for those beasts that were no higher than the fifth level.
At the same time, because those high-level beasts believed in the law of the weak and the strong, they were happy to be screened in this disguised form.
Of course, the main reason is that the alien beasts are also divided into many different races, so as long as their own interests are not involved, they certainly don't mind being a spectator.
Returning to the main story of the book, Yan Xinyue slowly told what happened seven years ago after listening to Jiang Ming's narration.
The matter is not complicated, that is, in the hunting trial that year, a girl with a genius level comparable to Jiang Zheng appeared in the fourth district, named Ying Xiaoqi.
According to Yan Xinyue, Ying Xiaoqi's performance in the hunting trial back then was not much worse than Jiang Zheng's, the kind that was so fierce that it knocked out the will of everyone in the third district. Even the person in charge of the third district at that time said that as long as he could keep No.2, it would be fine.
However, just when everything was about to settle, the distress devices on the participating members of the hunting trial turned out to be tampered with.
Afterwards, a group of members of the Beast God Sect took the lead and organized dozens of middle-level beasts and an astonishing number of low-level beasts to encircle and suppress the elites who participated in the hunting trial at that time.
Originally, this should be regarded as a part of the trial, but they couldn't stand the opponent's mental arithmetic and inadvertence, so in the end, under the huge strength gap between the two sides, Yan Xinyue and the others could only fight and retreat, but because the distress signal could not be sent out, they could not wait for help.
In the end, as the leader, Ying Xiaoqi made a breakthrough. After becoming a sixth-level evolutionary, she tried her best to give others a chance to live, but she fought to the point of exhaustion.
"Later, the examiners guarding the rear finally found out, but by the time they passed, it was already too late." Yan Xinyue lowered his head quietly when he said this, and then Jiang Ming, who was sitting behind, Can't see her expression: "In fact, with her strength, she can run away by herself, and she was only 25 years old at that time, no one will blame her! No one!"
2Chapter 16 Breath of Recovery
Yan Xinyue's mood quickly stabilized. Jiang Ming seemed to see her raising her left hand to wipe her eyes, and then she continued:
"The impact of that incident was very bad. Not only did Donghuang Federation lose a top genius and many outstanding young people, but many of the remaining people were left with lifelong disabilities and psychological shadows. And The most important reason for this result is the emergence of traitors within myself."
"So later, under the wrath of the chiefs of the third and fourth districts, they almost turned the two districts upside down. I don't know how many people were purged because of that incident."
After finishing speaking, Yan Xinyue looked at Jiang Ming who was behind: "So the hunting trial that your elder brother participated in later was almost the smoothest one in so many years."
"It turned out to be like this." After listening to all the stories, Jiang Ming really understood why Wang Xiaoyang personally led Jiang Zheng to participate in the hunting trial.
It seems that besides the fact that Jiang Zheng himself was really amazingly talented, Wang Xiaoyang's worry about whether another accident would happen should also be an important reason.
Not long after the chat between Jiang Ming and Yan Xinyue ended, Gao Xiaoqi also returned to the car.
The three of them glanced at each other and remained silent.
……
It was night, and Jiang Ming, who was sleeping in the back seat with his clothes on, woke up suddenly.
"Why did I wake up?" Jiang Ming felt that his consciousness was abnormally clear, not like usual at all, and he would be lost in the lake for a while after waking up.
However, before Jiang Ming could think about it, an inexplicable feeling suddenly rushed into his heart, as if something was calling him.
That feeling appeared so abruptly that Jiang Ming even had the urge to get out of the car immediately.
"No, it's really weird." Jiang Ming's rationality told him that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and he wanted to suppress that impulse by himself, but it intensified instead.
In the end, I really had no choice but to take a look at Yan Xinyue and Gao Xiaoqi who were also sleeping with their clothes on in front, and after confirming that they were not disturbed, I quickly contacted Mashaduo.
"what happened?"
Machado, who was practicing in the shadow space, came to him immediately after hearing Jiang Ming's call.
Then, after Jiang Ming told Machaduo about the matter, Machaduo just pondered for a while, and dragged Jiang Ming, who was holding back his uncomfortable expression, into the shadow space, but the other party's state did not ease in any way. In the end it can only say:
"I can't see what's going on with you, and the shadow space can't be isolated, why don't we go and have a look."
"Don't worry, with me here, I will protect you."
After giving Jiang Ming a reassurance, Machado led him out of the shadow space and outside the car.
"Come on, show me the way." Machado said.
"There!" After coming outside, Jiang Ming, who took a breath of fresh air, was obviously in better condition, and immediately pointed out the direction for Marshaduo.
And until then, because Jiang Ming didn't wear protective clothing when he came out, he was surprised to find that it was raining outside.
Spring rain is as expensive as oil.
A common saying inexplicably flashed in Jiang Ming's mind.
It was the first ten days of February, and the rainy season had passed. This should be the first rain of the year in the third district.
Fortunately, with Machado's spiritual power protecting him, he was not affected by the chilly night at this time.
"Okay, let's go." After confirming the location, Machado immediately pulled Jiang Ming into the shadow space and quickly moved towards the target.
In the end, after a total of five rotations, Jiang Ming was finally brought into the depths of the Xinghai forest by Mashaduo, but he didn't know how deep it was.
"It should be here." Jiang Ming looked at a towering tree about 30 meters away from him, and the inexplicable feeling in his heart told him that it was what he was looking for.
"Is that the tree?" Machado was also attracted by the 20-meter tall tree not far away, "It's such a strong breath of life."
Indeed, although it is already February and the beginning of spring has arrived, the tree is still unbelievably lush. Even in Jiang Ming's perception, every leaf on the tree is full of bold vitality.
It would be understandable if it was a tree-like alien beast, but neither Machado nor Jiang Ming found any alien beast aura on it.
The rain is still falling, although it is not heavy, but it also brings the first vitality of spring to the forest that has experienced the whole winter.
Accompanied by Machado, Jiang Ming slowly walked towards the big tree, and his mind was almost completely attracted by it now.
"Hi, my name is Jiang Ming."
Jiang Ming didn't know why he said that, but after he finished speaking, the big tree suddenly moved, and the leaves on its body rattled.
got windy.
At some point, the mental power Machado used to protect Jiang Ming had been dispelled by some unknown force, but Jiang Ming and Machado looked as if they hadn't noticed anything.
They were exposed to the rain and the wind.
Staring blankly at the giant tree in front of him, Jiang Ming suddenly put his hand on it by mistake, and at the same time, the power of Changpan in his body seemed to be attracted by something, and instantly gathered in Jiang Ming's palm.
"The rain of nourishment, the wind of recovery..."
Jiang Ming slowly murmured this sentence, and the next second, the power of Chang Pan, which was only enough to wrap Jiang Ming's palm, seemed to be strengthened, and the light was generous, covering Jiang Ming's whole body in an instant.
Then, taking him as the cause, it spread towards the towering tree in front of him.
It wasn't until this moment that Machado, who was awakened by the big commotion, finally came back to his senses, and stared at the scene in front of him in astonishment.
"The power of Changpan with this intensity...is Jiang Ming really able to make it?!"
As the massive amount of Viridian power slowly melted into the tree, a life force so huge that even Marshaduo couldn't bear it overflowed from the tree in an instant.
At the same time, it was accompanied by a sense of joy as if it had been reborn.
"Hello, Jiang Ming."
Jiang Ming, who was feeling the power of Chang Pan with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a gentle female voice in his consciousness.
"I'm Jiang Ming, who are you? This tree?"
Jiang Ming reacted immediately.
"Yes." The voice did not deny, "Thank you for the strength you gave me. It guided my birth and gave me a real life."
"My power? Is it the power of Changpan?" Jiang Ming replied subconsciously.
