1655 Warlords Chasing Deer (1/2)

”Huh, now that I think about it, it's indeed quite a coincidence! It's here in Boulder Planet.” Bro Huo paused. ”But unfortunately, the elimination round has been going on for two days. Today is the last day!”

”What? It started two days ago???” Chen Xiaobei nearly shouted. ”Does that mean I have no hope at all?”

”Not exactly…” Bro Huo said. ”The competition lasts three days. Anyone can sign up before it ends!”

”Oh, you can join any time? Then wouldn't it be a mess then?” Chen Xiaobei was puzzled.

”No! They've employed the Warlords Chasing Deer method! And, they've released ten Cloud-riding Golden Antlers Deer in the Boulder forest! In three days, the person who is able to capture the most deer would be crowned the winner!”

Chen Xiaobei understood immediately. ”That means if I am able to capture one of those deer from Boulder forest, I can pass the elimination round?”

”That's right! As long as you do that before the end of the day! But from what I gather, nine of these deer have already been captured. There's only one left!”

”What the hell! Then what are you waiting for? Tell me where this Boulder forest is!” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed.

”It's not easy to explain its location. I'll bring you there myself!” Bro Huo said.

”Alright!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. ”You can send me there but you have to be fast!”

This was a high-ranking starfield so it was inconvenient for Chen Xiaobei to use his Somersault Cloud. Having Bro Huo send him there was the fastest way to get there.

Bro Huo drove a flying car. The higher-ranking starfields were much further along in technologucal advances when compared tothe Northern Wilderness. The flying cars here were way faster than the Somersault Cloud.

After about a 10,000 km journey, they had finally arrived at Boulder forest.

Chen Xiaobei alighted the car and was shocked by what he was saw. ”It's already the last day and there's only one of that Cloud-riding Golden Antlers Deer left, but there are still so many people joining the competition!”

The sky above the forest was dense with flying cars, and there were a lot of human activity in the forest.

There roughly thousands of people desperately searching for the last deer!

Based on this premise that the competition first started three days ago, there were at least 10,000 who joined the competition!

This was evident of how strong Luo Puti's attractive power was!

Of course, with so many people and a generous three days and three nights to complete the task, with one more deer on the loose, it was clear to Chen Xiaobei that these deer were not easy prey!

Chen Xiaobei asked, ”Is the combat power of these Cloud-riding Golden Antlers Deer very strong? Why are they so difficult to capture?”

Bro Huo explained, ”These deer are strong. They are fast – their speed is similar to those in the later phase of Ethereal Cultivation. That's why they are such difficult prey!”

Chen Xiaobei frowned. ”Wow, later phase of Ethereal Cultivation… So, does that mean those who have joined the elimination round are all elites in the later phase of Ethereal Cultivation?”

”No… They've chosen to use the Warlords Chasing Deer method this time to test the competitors combat ability in places like this! Some of the people with weaker strength were still able to capture the prey using special methods! That way, we can also pick out soldiers for Saint Duke from among those who had displayed exceptional abilities!”

Chen Xiaobei blurted, ”Your Emperor is really smart! He is trying to choose the best groom and recruit some of the best soldiers at the same time!”

”We don't have a choice… With the enemies in front of us, unless we use employ extreme measures, Saint Duke would be waiting to be doomed!”

Chen Xiaobei declined to comment. ”Alright. If there's nothing else, you should go back first. I will go in on my own!”

Bro Huo thought about it for a minute and then said, ”I think it would better if I go with you. I can protect you when there's danger, and I can answer any questions that you have!”
