Chapter 203 Green Dragon Crescent Blade Successfully completes a Kill (1)
“Marquis, let’s hurry.” Shi Songtao urged anxiously.
The group now had a light load and didn’t need to carry the heavy forging materials.
But Zhou Shu seemed to be taking a stroll in the park, walking unhurriedly toward the location of the third checkpoint.
Shi Songtao was anxious. We no longer have any forging materials. When we arrive, we’ll have to rob the other challengers.
!!They’ve already gone far ahead. If they’ve already used up all the forging materials by the time we arrive, we won’t be able to rob them.
He put himself in the others’ shoes and thought about it. If it was him, he definitely would quickly use the forging materials. He definitely wouldn’t leave any for Zhou Shu’s group. The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly. “What are you worried about? Running fast might not necessarily be advantageous.”
No matter how anxious Shi Songtao was, Zhou Shu refused to speed up.
Shi Songtao wanted to catch up first, but he thought about it. Even if he caught up, without Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang, he wasn’t confident that he would be the one robbing others.
Get Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang to go with him?
That would be a joke. It would be weird if they listened to him. Shi Songtao sighed. He had originally thought that the chances of winning this time had greatly increased. But in the end, the marquis had started to bluff again. He was mentally exhausted.
The location of the third checkpoint was only tens of kilometers away from the second checkpoint.
Even though Zhou Shu and the others were walking slowly, it only took them half a day to reach the third checkpoint.
When they were still some distance away from the third checkpoint, Yin Wuyou’s and Lu Wenshuang’s expressions suddenly changed.
The two of them moved at almost the same time, one on the left and one on the right, staying close to Zhou Shu.
Two powerful sword qi shot into the sky.
Chen Ji and Yin Chengshan finally realized what was going on and quickly reacted.
The two of them darted to the front of the group.
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the Flaming Sunset Saber were placed in front of him.
“An enemy?” Shi Songtao and the other Forging Masters finally reacted.
Before they could finish speaking, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from ahead.
Interspersed with the roars of demonic beasts and the cries of martial artists, a chaotic battle seemed to be taking place.
A look of understanding flashed across Zhou Shu’s eyes.
Indeed, it was the same as what he had learned when he dreamed he was w.a.n.g Xin. The third checkpoint was to slay demonic beasts.
Great Qin said that the nine trials were related to forging. Now, they were requesting the nine nations’ challengers to kill demonic beasts. It seemed to have nothing to do with forging, but in reality, it was related.
Forging materials were not limited to ores. Some demonic beasts’ bones, fur, and even blood could be used for forging.
It was barely reasonable to let the nine nations’ challengers kill demonic beasts and personally obtain forging materials from the demonic beasts.
“Everyone, don’t be nervous. We have business,” Zhou Shu said with a smile.
The group continued forward and soon arrived at the third checkpoint.
This place was still a valley. There was a group of Great Qin soldiers guarding the entrance.
A Great Qin general saw Zhou Shu’s group arrive and said, “The third checkpoint, pa.s.s through the valley and kill ten demonic beasts to enter the next checkpoint. Otherwise, you will be eliminated.
“There’s a certain amount of danger in this pa.s.s. If all of you give up, then you can head directly to Great Qin’s capital.”
Give up?
Giving up was equivalent to giving up the right to compete for the hosting rights of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. No nation would easily give up.
This was something that would affect the fate of the nation for the next ten years.
“Let’s go in,” Zhou Shu said nonchalantly.
Shi Songtao was a little nervous, but looking at the four martial artists on the team, he was somewhat relieved.
The marquis is truly far-sighted. Fortunately, there are many martial artists in our team, and they are strong. Shi Songtao had forgotten. Back then, he felt that there were too many martial artists on the team and had objected.
The group entered the valley. The battle in the valley was currently intense.
The challengers from other countries formed groups of three to five and fought with the demonic beasts.
There were already many demonic beasts’ corpses lying on the ground.
But even more demonic beasts were swarming over.
This valley was basically a demonic beast lair. Countless demonic beasts surrounded the challengers from all over the world.
Boom!
Two demonic beasts charging toward Zhou Shu’s group were sent flying by Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang
Chen Ji drew his Green Dragon Crescent Blade halfway.
Then he put it back slowly…
He just wanted to test the power of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Why was it so difficult?
“Zhou Shu, let’s hurry over.” Yin Wuyou wrinkled her nose.
Although the demonic beasts here weren’t strong, there were too many of them. She was afraid that if she wasn’t careful, Zhou Shu would be injured.
“There’s no hurry.” Zhou Shu smiled.
He raised his voice and said, “Is there anyone who needs help? We can help you kill a demonic beast for one hundred taels of gold.”
“One thousand taels of gold for clearing the level is definitely a good deal. Don’t wait any longer.”
Zhou Shu’s voice reverberated throughout the valley. Even the sounds of battle couldn’t cover it.
The Great Qin general guarding the entrance of the valley revealed a somewhat stunned expression.
He was stunned for a while before spitting out a curse word.
The rules didn’t prohibit nations from helping each other…
This was the first time Great Qin had set up a trial. There were too many loopholes in the rules, and the main reason was that these loopholes didn’t affect their final objective.
“Help me! I have money!” a voice shouted.
Zhou Shu looked over and was immediately amused. Yo, an acquaintance.
