Chapter 35: The Lord of Life and Death, The Sole Hunter
Under the leadership of Leng Cangfeng, several people arrived at a dilapidated inn.
"This place is worth a fortune, don't look at this broken-down inn, one room for one day and night costs 100 gold coins." Leng Cangfeng explained.
Dongfang Ye was placed on the only bed, and Chucheng asked in a low voice, "You said there is a way to lift the contract, what method?"
"There are many, but they're all very difficult." Leng Cangfeng said "Do you still remember the four special places I mentioned?"
"Remember." Chu Cheng said, "Life and death arena, hunting grounds, Happy Forest, Dark Spirit Tower!"
"That's right, these four places." Leng Cangfeng said that the life-and-death arena, guarding the arena for ten rounds, becoming the master of the life-and-death arena, can get a chance to make a wish once, this opportunity, can lift the contract of life and death!
Life and death arena, defend the arena for ten rounds?
Is it ten consecutive wins?
"Life and death arena, according to the boundary division, if we want to fight, we must go up to the three-layered arena of the Extraordinary Realm! The enemy we face will be at least a drop of Blood Essence, or even possibly eight or nine drops of Blood Essence! This is very difficult, extremely difficult! Because the enemy you face will become stronger and stronger!" Cold Cangfeng said.
Eight drops of Nine Drops Blood Essence? Stronger than Nine?
Chu Cheng furrowed his brow.
He thought that even if he were to fight one on one with Jiu, he would probably still lose.
"Is there another way?" Chu Cheng asked.
Yes!
"Cold Storage Blade Path Hunting Ground! The Only Hunt!"
The only hunting?
"What does it mean?" Chu Cheng didn't understand.
"It means that on the hunting ground, there is only one hunter and all the others are prey! The hunter must kill all the prey to win! The winner will get a chance to make a wish!"
Is there only one hunter?
"I'm afraid it's not right, I'm afraid that the only hunter is actually the only prey!" Chu Cheng's heart was icy.
Can one person survive when surrounded and attacked by dozens or hundreds of people?
"Right, you're absolutely right! So this hunt is the only way, even more terrifying than a life-and-death arena!" Leng Cangfeng said. "Only these two methods can dissolve the contract of life and death!"
Life and death arena? Defend the arena for ten rounds?
Hunt alone? Survive alone?
"I'll take part in the life-and-death arena if you can grit your teeth and bear it!"
Chu City decided that they must fight to the death and seize an opportunity for Dongfang Ye!
"No, you can only participate in one hunt." Chilled Edge said coldly.
"What?" Chu Cheng was puzzled.
The solitary hunt is far more terrifying than a life-or-death arena, what does this mean?
"Because of the life-and-death arena, everyone can only participate in one match per day. Even if you go to fight now, by the time ten matches are over, it will be exactly ten days, and it will be too late!" Leng Cangfeng said.
Too late?
A glint flashed in Chu Cheng's eyes, "Alright, let's go hunting!"
No matter how difficult it is, he must go and fight his way through! Because what he wants to save is Dongfang Ye, so he must seize this only opportunity!
"You can think about it, that's not nine deaths and one life, but ten deaths with no survival! As far as I know, in the past 3,000 years, only one person has passed the only hunt!" Leng Cangfeng said.
"I will be the second person!" Chu Cheng clenched his fist.
Leng Cang's gaze was fixed tightly on Chu Cheng, staring for a long time before suddenly breaking into a smile.
"Alright, alright! Since it's like this, I'll go crazy with you one more time!"
"Who?" Chu Cheng was taken aback. "We just need one chance, I'll go, isn't that enough?"
"We need two chances!" Leng Cangfeng said. Dongfang Ye was hit by the Yīn Líng's one blow, and the aura of death entered his body. We can't save him, so we can only make a wish and let the Yīn Líng save him personally!
The city of Chu was silent.
For Dongfang Ye, he can go all out. But for Leng Cangfeng to go all out for Dongfang Ye, isn't that a bit much?
No way!
"Alright, no more thinking about it, I'm definitely going to the arena! To make a name for myself in the imperial capital, the young heroes will get good rankings, but my strength is still not enough. And the life-or-death arena is precisely the best way to hone my skills!" Leng Cangfeng said. "Besides, I really want to see, when Dongfang Ye wakes up, how he'll react if it's me who saved him!"
Chu Cheng looked at Leng Cangfeng and suddenly said, "Leng Cangfeng, I owe you a favor!"
After hearing this, Leng Cangfeng suddenly burst out laughing, his smile radiant and unparalleled.
Chu Cheng sat cross-legged.
Leng Cang Feng has gone out to gather information, while Huang Tian Cang and Jiu have already left.
They had no obligation to stay here, so they all left and headed to the capital as soon as possible to attend the Young Heroes Conference.
Chu Cheng had no complaints about this.
The city of Chu is still a drop of blood essence, wanting to survive in the only hunt is far from enough.
So he wants to use the Super Synthesis Book to increase his chips.
"Kunsha, make a vow." Chu Cheng said coldly.
"Swear? Swear?" The golden lobster on his shoulder raised its head.
"What you are about to see is my greatest secret. You must swear that you will never reveal it to anyone." said Chu Cheng.
"Cut, I thought so, isn't it... Alright, I swear, a poisonous oath." Seeing Chu Cheng's firm eyes, Kunsha shook his head, making an oath in the name of blood.
"I, Kunshen, with the divine beast Kunpeng's bloodline as my name, swear: I will never reveal the secrets of Chucheng, otherwise the bloodline will backlash and I will not be reborn!" Kunshen said solemnly.
This oath, silently witnessed by heaven and earth, is guaranteed by the divine beast Kunpeng. Once the oath is violated, it will inevitably be punished.
"Alright."
When he saw Jiao, Chu Cheng took a deep breath.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Super Synthesis Book, quickly reveal its power!"
A flash of light flashed by, and the Super Synthesis Book appeared before his eyes.
"Huh? What's this? Emerging from your body? A spirit tool?" Kunsha curiously approached.
"Spiritual device? Maybe. Who is it?" Chu Cheng said, "Qing Yu, help me block the wind, don't let anyone in, and don't let anyone spy."
"Alright, don't worry, I'm a descendant of the divine beast Kunpeng, with the noblest bloodline, you can rest assured that I'll get it done!" Kunpeng jumped off Chu Cheng's shoulder and crawled to the front door, releasing his divine sense.
Nodding, Chucheng flipped open the Super Synthesis Book.
On the first page, the number of patterns has already exceeded ten. Chucheng roughly figured out that every time his cultivation increased, the Super Synthesis Book would reveal new patterns, containing new synthesis formulas.
This time, there are seven new patterns in total.
A blue icy arrow, a purple seal, a gray orb, a red sun, a bright moon, a pair of wings, a sharp point.
"Icy Heart Arrow, a one-time mysterious device, absorbs enough mysterious power to possess extremely strong might. The more mysterious power it contains, the stronger its might. Mysterious power capacity depends on materials. Synthesis requires: Mystic Ice."
"Zi Xiao Divine Thunder Talisman, a one-time use talisman that can summon the Zi Xiao Divine Thunder. Synthesis requires: High-quality Cinnabar, Thousand-year-old Peach Wood."
"Absorb the yin spirit orb, absorb the dead energy, temper yourself. Melt into the body, constantly absorbing the yin spirit and dead energy between heaven and earth, transforming it into blood energy, tempering yourself. Synthesis requirements: Xuan Yin Water, Jiuyin Wood, Taiyin Gold, Shaoyin Fire, Chunyin Earth."
"Day Essence Wheel, top-grade Seven Treasure Mysterious Device. When paired with the Moon Essence Wheel, it can unleash the mighty power of the Five Elements Device. Synthesis requires: Mother of the Five Metals."
"Moon Essence Wheel, a top-grade Seven Treasures Mysterious Device. When paired with the Sun Essence Wheel, it can unleash the mighty power of the Five Elements Device. Synthesis requires: Mother of the Five Metals."
"Winged with wind and thunder, summoning the power of wind and thunder, traversing the nine heavens, entering and exiting the blue void. Requirements for combination: Wind Thunder Essence Gold, Seven Treasures Realm Fierce Bird Feather Wings."
"Mysterious Yin Spirit Edge, a one-time five-element mysterious device that combines the energy of Mysterious Yin and the mother of Five Metals to condense into a sharp edge. It can kill gods with divine power and demons with demonic power! Requirements for synthesis: Yinling's dead energy, Mother of Five Metals."
These seven synthetic formulas synthesize items that are not simple and very practical for Chucheng now.
Of course, the materials needed for synthesis are also not simple.
Let's not mention anything else, just those five metals, gold, silver, copper, iron and aluminum. Each metal costs tens of thousands of gold coins per kilogram. And to synthesize the Sun Moon Essence Wheel, at least hundreds of kilograms are needed, which is millions of gold coins.
The wind and thunder are refined into gold, the seven treasures realm is fierce bird feathers, also not cheap.
As for Xuan Yin Water, Jiu Yin Wood, Tai Yin Metal, Shao Yin Fire, and Pure Yin Earth, these five are even more rare and precious.
"It's okay, last time I auctioned off the Life Jade Box, there was still some money left over. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome." Chu Cheng shook his head and left the room.
At that time, he had already brought a pile of materials.
"As expected, the ones that synthesize the Yin Spirit Ball are really too rare. After walking through several streets, I finally got the Xuan Yin Water and Jiu Yin Wood, but couldn't buy any of the others."
Chu Cheng let out a sigh and began synthesizing.
In the meantime, a chill ran down his spine once, bringing news about the arena of life and death and the only hunt.
"Life and death arena you don't have to worry about, I've participated in a few times, the ins and outs of it are clear to me." Cold Storage's expression was somewhat unusual "You're the only one hunting, you're doomed."
"What's wrong with me?" Chilling Wind's words left Chu Cheng bewildered.
"You're in trouble." Leng Cangfeng said three days later, the only hunt was held, I signed up for you, but not as the only hunter! The hunting ground thinks your strength is too weak, so it increased the number of hunters, five! Except for you, the other four are all famous!"
Five hunters?
"What's wrong with Chu Cheng's frowning eyebrows?"
"That means you have to kill all of your prey and four other hunters!"
Chu Cheng's heart sank, and indeed, the difficulty had increased.
Although they also kill all other people, however, the strength of the hunter and the prey is completely different.
Prey, anyone can be. But hunters, only those recognized by the hunting ground can take on the role!
"Your hunter qualification was bought with 1 million gold coins, otherwise the hunting grounds wouldn't have let you become a hunter." Cold Storage Edge added.
Hunter qualification? Bought it?
Chu Cheng's heart sank again.
In the eyes of the hunting ground, he doesn't even have the qualifications to be a hunter.
"I've gathered all the information on this one-time hunt." Leng Cang took out a document and handed it to Chu Cheng.
This is a rough guide printed by the Hunting Grounds, 100 gold coins per copy.
In the data, there are simple descriptions for all hunter's prey. Of course, some of them are very certain, while others are quite vague.
For example, there is only one sentence about Chu City's information.
"Chu Sheng, broke through three layers of ordinary realm, two drops of blood essence, first entered the Yin Ling Ancient Path, true strength unknown, comprehensive evaluation: 8th grade."
