C19 An Enemy in the Dark

The next day, Zhao Wuxian and the others went to participate in the exam and hunt demon beasts as usual.

On this day, the conspirator did not appear.

However, in this exam, another matter that deserved their attention appeared.

First of all, Zhao Wuxian and the others had spent a lot of effort during this period of time to kill the demon beasts and take their beast cores.

And because of the existence of a powerful person like Zhao Wuxian, most of the demon beasts were not their match at all.

They were invincible, and any demon beast that dared to invade was easily eliminated by them.

In just a few short days, Zhao Wuxian and the others had already reached second place.

Above them, there was still a mysterious person ranked first. Initially, it was normal for one to be ranked high or low.

However, the result of being first place was extremely strange.

Because Zhao Wuxian has been working very hard during this period of time. Thus, their strength wasn't weak at all.

If the difference between him and the first place winner wasn't too big, Zhao Wuxian and the rest could recognize it. Perhaps other people were just more outstanding, to the point that they were able to obtain slightly more beast cores than them.

However, the problem was that the number of beast cores in the first place far exceeded theirs!

Thus, this situation was highly questionable.

That night, when they were resting, they happened to be discussing this matter.

Everyone agreed that there must be a trick involved.

Especially Luo Qingfeng.

He waved his folding fan and said to Zhao Wuxian at the same time, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I've been observing him for the past few days. "Indeed, hard work pays off. I have really discovered some clues!"

Zhao Wuxian looked at him with interest: "Oh? I would like to hear more about it. "

Not only him, Ye Zhiyun was also interested in this.

"I've discovered that during this period of time, as long as the number one ranker has more and more beast cores, the number of trial takers will become fewer and fewer. There must be a connection. "

Luo Qingfeng said solemnly.

"You mean …"

Zhao Wuxian seemed to understand the meaning behind his words.

"That's right, I suspect that the first ranked participant directly took action against the challenger to obtain the beast core!"

Luo Qingfeng said.

Actually, all of them had thought of this, but they just didn't dare to be certain.

However, he was the first to speak. For the others, there was naturally nothing to hide.

"Isn't this too exaggerated?"

Ye Zhiyun covered her mouth and exclaimed.

She revealed an incredulous attitude towards this.

Luo Qingfeng sneered: "At any time, don't overestimate people's bottom line. Perhaps in some people's eyes, as long as they could obtain benefits … As for anything else, it can be left behind! "

he said heavily.

Hearing those words, the crowd present also came to a deep understanding.

However, even though she said that, Ye Zhiyun still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

After all, although Ye Zhiyun's strength was impressive, she was still a lady from a noble family.

She had never experienced the lies of others, so after her first personal contact with them, she had developed an indescribable feeling towards them.

"In that case, will such a thing happen to us?"

At this moment, he heard Ye Zhiyun's worried voice.

Luo Qingfeng analyzed, "Looking at the current situation, it is very possible. But the question is, why aren't they doing anything to us for the time being? "

After he finished speaking, everyone naturally fell into a momentary silence.

Clearly, everyone was filled with the same confusion.

"Perhaps it's not that they don't want to fight, but they temporarily don't plan on fighting us?"

Zhao Wuxian suddenly said.

If what he said was true, then the current situation would be even worse.

They didn't know when their opponent would attack, but they were clear that this attack was an extremely fierce attack.

After all, as the second ranked team, Zhao Wuxian and the others' combat power far surpassed the other trial-takers.

If the opponent wanted to deal with them, he would naturally have to work even harder.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian and the rest must be prepared.

"Then Fellow Daoist Zhao, what are your plans after this?"

Luo Qingfeng asked again.

Zhao Wuxian squinted his eyes and thought for a while.

"This smelting trial has a total of seven days. It has already been five days, there is still one more day left!" I think that if the other party really wants to make a move against us, it will definitely be within that day. Thus … Before that happens, we have to be prepared! "

After a moment, he finally spoke.

Zhao Wuxian quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Everyone gathered together to discuss for a long time, and then they all dispersed.

That's right, they decided to split up in the following battle!

After splitting up, their hunting speed had clearly increased by quite a bit.

Their beast cores were growing even faster.

Within a few hours, he had surpassed the first place spot!

Looking at the current ranking, Zhao Wuxian smiled mysteriously: Everything is in his plan.

As nightfall arrived, the competition in this trial became increasingly intense.

First, Zhao Wuxian and the others still maintained a competitive status with the second place.

Sometimes they would seize first place, and sometimes the other side would be far ahead.

Both sides fought each other like this and refused to give in.

With the exception of them, all the other trial-takers started to increase their speed.

Amongst these thousands of challengers, only a thousand of them were able to pass the trial and enter the second round.

Therefore, the trial-takers had to make full use of this last chance.

Although he couldn't win the first place, at least he couldn't lose to the people around him!

It was evident that the smell of gunpowder was extremely strong.

Late at night, Zhao Wuxian travelled through the forest alone.

Right now, he needed to find an extremely powerful demonic beast.

However, not long after, he suddenly noticed that in the air around him, there was a violent gust of cold wind blowing.

At this moment, Zhao Wuxian instinctively increased his vigilance.

After that, in front of him, there were several figures coming out from all directions.

They immediately surrounded Zhao Wuxian, obviously not intending to let him escape.

Zhao Wuxian wasn't nervous at all when he saw such a group of people appear.

On the contrary, he remained calm and collected the entire time. All of this had been part of his plan for a long time!

Zhao Wuxian said coldly, "You finally appeared? I've been waiting for you! "

These words astonishingly caused everyone on the other side to feel somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, one of the leaders stepped forward. "Oh, is that so?"

This person's body was hidden in the darkness, so he couldn't see his face clearly.
