Chapter 569

"Fatty, live three."

"No, live one, dead one."

"Round Head, live seven."

"Fist, live two."

"Otter, live one."

Beside the river.

Liang Qu flipped through the small booklet and recorded with a charcoal pen.

Fat Catfish, live twenty-one.

Can't Move, live seven, dead four.

Round Head, live forty-three.

Fist, live twenty, dead two.

Otter, live two.

After one night, the rankings of the beasts changed a lot. Calculated by the difference in live and dead scores, Round Head counted as half, still exceeding Fist to jump to first place, Fat Catfish second, but no longer tied with other beasts.

Fist fell to third, Can't Move fourth, Otter fifth.

"Round and round and back again."

Liang Qu tapped the cover of the booklet.

Fat Catfish has a talent for catching fish; it could be seen a few years ago.

Controlling Can't Move, the daily catch was a dozen coins, still unable to make ends meet, and paying the autumn tax was dangerous, but controlling Fat Catfish, the harvest increased several times, life went straight to well-off, and families came to propose marriage.

A big mouth, a natural "vacuum cleaner," combined with talent, ordinary treasure fish can't escape when they run into it.

Fist's ranking slipped, which was expected. Leaving the fish-throwing point to catch a single treasure fish, the fishing net advantage is not great.

As for the final top place, it is estimated that it will be born from the competition between Fat Catfish and Round Head.

Otter...

The river otter sat on the reef, supporting its chin with one claw and looking into the distance, its forehead hair flying, endless sorrow, endless depression.

Liang Qu thought for a moment, opened the bag, and grabbed the Green-Backed Dragon Carp, spirit birds, and spirit deer that had just died.

"Didn't eat all night, roast them all, count as five live ones for you."

Otter's spirit lifted, picked up firewood to make a fire, and then ran to Chishan's side, taking out various spices.

Fat Catfish swam over, its long whiskers wrapped around a dead branch, inserted it into the fish belly to wave and flip.

Liang Qu politely declined.

"What you roast isn't as delicious as Otter's."

【Water Essence +86】

【Water Essence +78】

"Eat and drink your fill, get to work!"

Noon.

The painting albums were transported down from the mountain, copied and recreated by a large number of third-class and even fourth-class painters. The material of the small paintings moved from silk to rice paper, and the price fell from six taels to one tael or even a hundred copper coins, attracting tourists to buy them.

Must say.

The painters on Yulan Peak have a level, capturing the spirit extremely well. Compared with those down the mountain, the gap in the middle is visible to the naked eye.

However, the cheaper paintings down the mountain spread more widely, causing Liang Qu's supporters to increase rapidly, which in turn affected the odds.

The servant brought a long ladder, applied talcum powder paint, and added numbers to the board.

"'Dragon Crossing the River', spirit birds nineteen, spirit deer twenty-eight, spirit fish ninety-five. Strange, one hundred and forty-two already. If they were all alive..."

Someone counted on their fingers for a long time. The number was too large, and they couldn't figure it out.

"Five hundred and forty points, plus the twenty-eight points registered, a total of five hundred and sixty-eight."

"Hiss~, five hundred and some points, isn't that top place?"

"Since last night, 'Dragon Crossing the River' has always been top place, never changed. Second place is Great Martial Artist Chi Ang, only ninety-three points. The two are almost six times apart. It should be that they haven't started plundering yet."

"Others don't know if they haven't registered or what. They moved a bit at midnight and got a dozen points. Since then, it hasn't changed much, especially the top place Tail Wei Huo Hu, three zeros."

"Is the top place really going to be taken by an outsider?"

The local villagers were worried.

Although the Great Hunt doesn't forbid outsiders from participating, seeing the top place really being taken away makes them unhappy.

"Hard to say. It will basically start plundering tonight. It depends on whether 'Dragon Crossing the River' can hide from the Hunting Tigers, or if he runs into a Hunting Tiger, whether he can protect himself."

"You say, can 'Dragon Crossing the River' beat a Hunting Tiger?"

Silence.

"Not necessarily."

"Speaking of which, the top of the Dragon-Tiger List, Tail Wei Huo Hu, isn't from Huangzhou or Yunzhou either."

"Hope they both get hurt..."

Evening.

The setting sun pierced the leaves, scattering into light pillars.

Zhu Zongwang and Huo Hongyuan met again to count the harvest.

The leather bag was full, thirty-two spirit birds, forty-eight spirit deer, nine spirit fish.

"Did you hunt them yourself?"

"Snatched a few people." Huo Hongyuan said concisely, "Nearly a hundred, that's about it, right?"

"Hmm." Zhu Zongwang counted many times and threw the leather bag, "Be decisive when you should be. Let's go, find someone!"

Crack.

In the frost season, the broad leaves fell, becoming brittle due to dehydration.

Five Galloping Horse Martial Artists walking together stood in the forest, caught a glimpse of a blood-red color in the forest from afar, and fled back without looking back.

The sound gradually drifted away.

Not many people had seen Liang Qu with their own eyes, but the iconic Dragon Blood Horse had spread early on.

A big ox who fought eighteen Wolf Smokes alone and chopped melons and vegetables—only a Hunting Tiger can deal with him.

See the horse, see the person.

However, others didn't come to plunder, and Liang Qu was too lazy to make a move to plunder others.

The forest was huge, and most of the Martial Artists he met were Galloping Horse or Four Gates. After a day and a night of hunting, they only had a few dates in their hands, so he really wasn't interested.

Pity.

"The prey is less."

Liang Qu pinched the abyss wood, his golden eyes scanned, the traces of prey were pitifully few, replaced by many human paths.

Time passed.

The prey scattered between heaven and earth gradually concentrated in the hands of the hunters. If it goes on, it must be plundered.

The sunset gradually sank.

The light gradually darkened.

Boom crack.

Zhang Xueyuan, who stepped on withered branches, saw that he was stiff in place, and with two companions, didn't dare to move at all.

The red horse in the distance flicked its tail, gnawing on berries, without turning its head.

His companion tugged at Zhang Xueyuan's hem: "We didn't catch any prey, what are we afraid of?"

Right!

Zhang Xueyuan clenched his fists, empty-handed, really no need to worry about being plundered. Slightly relieved, he and his companion stepped away.

The three were slightly relieved, but Liang Qu was puzzled.

The leader kid is very familiar... seems like he's seen him somewhere.

Chishan Ridge is big, and there are even more Martial Artists from the two prefectures.

He met a few hundred Martial Artists today, but none had such a feeling.

Strange.

Does he have acquaintances in Huangzhou?

Watching the other party retreat further and further.

"Wait!"

Zhang Xueyuan and his companion trembled, their footsteps suspended in mid-air. Just as they were struggling whether to run, the blood-red horse had already leaped over the bushes and caught up.

Heat sprayed.

Mountain-like pressure forced down.

Liang Qu sat on the horse's back, staring at the leader.

"Have we met somewhere?"

"My lord, you must have recognized the wrong person..."

Zhang Xueyuan was terrified.

He had long heard that there was a ruthless person in the forest to the east called 'Dragon Crossing the River', but as a Wolf Smoke Martial Artist, and even a Wolf Smoke Martial Artist who fought eighteen alone, a proper big shot, how could he have any intersection with himself?

"Not right."

Liang Qu rubbed his chin, rode Chishan around the Galloping Horse Martial Artist in front of him, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

But the "Ear Consciousness Art" didn't detect the other party lying.

The other party really didn't know him.

Zhang Xueyuan was sweating profusely.

For no reason, why would he be targeted by a Wolf Smoke expert?

Plunder prey?

Doesn't look like it.

The three of them had been wandering for a day and a night and hadn't caught anything.

And.

Through the reminder, Zhang Xueyuan also began to feel that the other party was familiar, but he was too nervous to remember who it was for a while.

A touch of afterglow fell from the sky, and the overwhelming darkness descended. The silent forest insects chirped sporadically.

Liang Qu asked: "Are you from Huangzhou?"

"Yes... I grew up in Huangzhou since I was a child, there are two older brothers in the family..."

Liang Qu's eyes flashed.

Lying!

Thinking for a long time.

"Zhao Xueyuan?"

Zhang Xueyuan's face stiffened.
