Warcraft Hunt

"Sister Wen, when you cry, your mouth looks like an infinity symbol!" Han Jiang released Wen Xu and traced a path in the air between them with her hand.

"Your mouth looks like an infinity symbol!" Wen Xu laughed in exasperation.

Han Jiang took out the hairpin she had bought during the day: "I bought one for you and one for Han Qi. I've already given Han Qi's one to her. This is yours."

"Thank you." Wen Xu casually wiped his face, drying his tears. "I'll go over tomorrow's task with you again."

Is this what it means to be career-minded? Once you get motivated, you can immediately get to work.

"Twelve hours. You haven't reached the level of abstaining from grains yet. Remember to bring some food. Once the mission is complete, find a safe corner to hide in," Wen Xu reminded Han Jiang.

During the cold season, I diligently memorized every detail, awaiting tomorrow's hunt.

The most exciting part of the Three Gates Treasure Hunt is the last part, and this year's test question was given by Gui Xu, the owner of Maple Fire Reflecting Frost Pavilion - Warcraft Hunt.

Each sect sends one person to work together to explore a secret realm.

This person is usually the leader of a sect.

However, since Lei Mo, the sect leader of the Four Provinces Sect, is still in seclusion, Han Tian has been chosen to take over the position.

To avoid harming the magical beasts, the organizers provided each disciple with a specially made bow and arrow. The bow would record the number and level of the magical beasts captured. The magical beasts were provided by the Demon Realm, so the organizers specially invited two princes of the Demon Clan to attend.

The scoring is based on the number and level of the captured monsters, with each monster serving a twelve-hour period. The scores are then ranked.

During the hunt, all disciples must hand over their weapons.

Meanwhile, damaged bows and arrows are considered obsolete and will result in being teleported out of the secret realm.

"As long as the twelve hours are not over, anything is possible. You can rob, you can kill, life and death are irrelevant!" Gui Xu is a complete madwoman, otherwise she could not have become the owner of Maple Fire Reflecting Frost Pavilion.

Chicheng felt this was going too far and wanted to interject, but the Pavilion Master of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion preemptively said, "To be chosen by the Vermilion Bird Pavilion, one must have some ability, Elder Chicheng. You can't see strength unless you risk your life, can you?"

Every time the three treasures are fought, someone dies; it's cruel, but exciting.

The Vermilion Bird Pavilion is the strongest, and the Maple Fire Reflecting Frost Pavilion members are all fearless in the martial world. Only the disciples of the Four States Sect are young and inexperienced.

Chi Cheng was holding his breath, but since the Three Gates Treasure Hunt was mainly organized by Maple Fire Reflecting Frost Pavilion this year, he couldn't say much. He just privately instructed Wen Wan to prepare medicine and gauze.

The location is where the ring match was held yesterday.

Although Wen Xu did not participate in the arena competition yesterday, the other eleven disciples of the Four Continents Sect all ranked quite well.

Especially the cold-resistant maple, which ranked third.

It is said that the Pavilion Master of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion went to Elder Chicheng last night, wanting the person.

As a result, Hanqi absolutely refused.

Akagi lost a lot of hair because of this.

The old man in red had a thicker beard, but his hair was thinning.

Before the start of the event, Han Jiang had already affixed an invisibility talisman and followed Wen Xu into the preparation room.

A group of people from the Vermilion Bird Pavilion carried magical artifacts to test spiritual power, checking everywhere to prevent anyone from cheating or sneaking into the examination hall.

I've passed by Hanjiang several times, but the ritual implements haven't reacted.

It seems that Han Jiang truly has no spiritual power at all, yet he managed to remain undetected.

The thirty-six representatives took the stage in the order they had been in yesterday's competition.

Wen Xu stood at the very end.

Han Jiang was below the arena, quietly approaching Han Qi.

She cannot go on stage yet; the arena will test the disciples to prevent cheating.

Hanjiang can only ascend the moment the secret realm opens.

This was all pre-arranged between Wenxu and Hanjiang.

She admired Wen Xu's memory even more, as he remembered the details in the book so clearly.

She always forgets what she reads after reading it, and can only remember the general content.

Not only people from the three major immortal sects came to watch the match, but also many ordinary people who came to join in the fun.

Three streams of magical power simultaneously struck the center of the arena, spreading outwards and swirling into a black hole. The edges rolled upwards, and a black hemisphere covered the stage, enveloping the thirty-six people in its center.

Han Jiang seized the opportunity and leaped up, landing steadily next to Han Qi.

Hanqi seemed to sense that there was another person beside him.

"The hunt begins!" Gui Xu announced.

Hanjiang quickly attached a tracking talisman to Hanqi.

The black color of the hemisphere began to fade, and the entire hemisphere resembled a curved screen, allowing those outside to see what was happening inside the secret realm. The sphere was divided into thirty-six sections, corresponding to thirty-six people.

Luckily, I made it in time. If the screen had been opened, the talisman would have been immediately noticed.

As soon as Hanqi entered the secret realm, he drew his bow and shot arrows, hitting many magical beasts along the way.

Its ranking rose rapidly, quickly climbing to number one.

Hanqi's protagonist aura is ridiculously absurd; he can hit a monster with any arrow he shoots in any direction.

Despite being shocked by the cold, she did not forget the task Wenxu had given her.

Hanqi has captured all the monsters in the vicinity, so Hanjiang has to go further away to find large monsters.

If you search along the river, you're sure to find monsters coming to drink.

Cold frost descended with the current—and indeed it did. Three enormous magical beasts gathered together, focused on drinking water, unaware of the approaching frost.

The camera was only focused on the thirty-six disciples participating in the competition, so Han Jiang, who was wearing an invisibility talisman, would not be noticed at all.

Han Jiang took out the Hunling Pill that Wen Xu had given him and crushed it.

The Mixed Spirit Pill can confuse spiritual energy, causing confusion in people's consciousness and explosive dissipation of spiritual energy.

She had originally planned to sprinkle it upstream, but that would have made it too easy to be discovered.

The cold wind blows the crushed powder into the fur of the magical beasts. Whenever the magical beasts move, the powder scattered in their fur can be inhaled by them.

To ensure she attracted enough attention, she sprinkled a lot of it on all three magical beasts.

This place is not safe to stay in. Han Jiang quickly fled the scene.

It's the first time I've done something so immoral, and thinking about it now, I'm actually a little excited.

I'm sorry everyone, I don't know which unlucky author's book got ruined like this.

Han Jiang silently apologized in his heart.

After going berserk, the three monsters rushed into the forest, rampaging and scaring away the birds in the trees.

One roar to the heavens, and a hundred voices respond.

It seems like the commotion has gotten out of hand. Hanjiang has always been unsure about his luck; isn't always choosing the worst possible outcome a kind of good fortune in itself?

The roars of the monsters echoed throughout the entire secret realm.

Wen Xu didn't expect the commotion caused by the cold rain to be so big. She went to find Han Qi according to the location of the tracking talisman. The two of them had just met when they heard the roar of the magical beast.

As expected, the cold wind lured the monsters to the vicinity of Hanqi.

Everything that followed went largely as Wen Xu had planned. She and Han Qi were traveling together when a berserk monster ambushed them. The two of them had no weapons and relied solely on their spiritual power to resist.

Wen Xu didn't do much; if she and Han Qi were fighting the magical beasts together, there would be no need for Cang Jingmo to come to her rescue.

Wen Xu caught Han Qi, who had been knocked away, and said, "This won't work. You should go first!"

Hanqi asked in surprise, "And what about you, Senior Sister?"

"I'm your senior sister, nothing will happen." Wen Xu pushed Han Qi behind her. Cang Jingmo was almost there, and Han Qi couldn't be allowed to disturb them here.

Hanqi took a step back, then, as if provoked by something, grabbed Wenxu: "No! I won't abandon my senior sister!"

Gradually, other magical beasts surrounded them; there didn't seem to be so many in the original story.

Wen Xu was being pulled along by Han Qi: Why is she suddenly being so dramatic?

Okay, the male lead is here.

Cang Jingmo made a powerful entrance, scattering the surrounding monsters with a single move.

What a hero saving the damsel in distress! Even Wen Xu himself would find it disgusting—a classic, outdated romance novel.

"I don't need your help! You demon!" Hanqi shouted.

Warmth makes one weary.

"Oh? I don't even want to save you!" Cang Jingmo also stopped talking properly.

The two started tugging at each other—yes, just like in those domineering CEO novels. They stopped playing Warcraft, stopped progressing the story, and just stood there having a conversation for ages.

Wen Xu stood between the two people, unable to get a word in edgewise.

[System Notification: The romance between the male and female leads is intensifying. Please be aware, host! The romance between the male and female leads is intensifying. Please be aware, host! The male and female leads...]

Wen Xu turned off the system notification: The male and female leads have already ignored her; she needs to think of another way.

She kicked the demonic beast that was lying to the side pretending to be dead, then shielded it with her body, her hands behind her back, and took out a Spirit-Mixing Pill, crushing it. The demonic beast instantly became alert; the combined effects of the two Spirit-Mixing Pills made it even more thoroughly frenzied this time.

It attacked indiscriminately, the powder on its body spreading as it collided with other magical beasts.

The female protagonists in "Shamate" (a subculture characterized by flamboyant and often outlandish fashion) novels are all-powerful; their blood, hair, and even their very essence possess magical powers. They exude a unique charm that attracts both the male protagonist and magical beasts.

Almost all the monsters were targeting Hanqi.

Wen Xu gritted his teeth, knowing that you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, and stepped in to protect the female lead before the monster's claws could reach her: "Junior sister, be careful!"

The two finally broke free from the original dialogue and realized the danger around them.

Hanqi caught Wenxu, while Cangjingmo threw out a flying talisman: "You guys go first!"

This act of selflessness should surely earn him some goodwill, right? Wen Xu lay comfortably on Han Qi's back, thinking that since the monster's claws were poisonous and they needed to go to the Demon Realm to heal, it would be another opportunity to spend time with the male lead.

[System: Congratulations, host, on completing the second stage of the mission. The male lead's favorability is currently at 10%. Keep up the good work!]

The number of berserk monsters was increasing, and the hunt was ended prematurely.

Han Jiang saw Chi Cheng and Gui Xu enter the secret realm, presumably to rescue the besieged disciples.

Two people dressed in Suzaku Pavilion uniforms stumbled out of the bushes: "Hurry! Those monsters have all gone mad!"

Two magical beasts followed closely behind them.

Han Jiang momentarily forgot that he was invisible and hurriedly caught up with the two disciples of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion.

The sounds of monsters could be heard almost everywhere.

The powder from the Cold Drought Elixir couldn't possibly have caused such a serious condition. How much Warmth did they actually use?

"Lord Chijin!"

Han Jiang heard two disciples shout, and then she bumped into someone.

Oh no! We're going to be discovered now.

The man grabbed Han Jiang's arm: "Who is it!"

Han Jiang couldn't break free; the man held on tightly while fighting the monster.

He was clearly a high-ranking member of the Vermilion Bird Pavilion; the token at his waist was far superior to that of the two ordinary disciples.

"Let go!" Han Jiang blurted out as she struggled to break free.

The man actually let go of Han Jiang's hand and let him leave.

"Lord Crimson Gold, what happened to your other hand?" The disciple asked, noticing that the man was only using one hand to defend himself.

Red Gold, what a familiar name.

"It's nothing, you guys go first," Chijin said.

Surprisingly, the cold descent wasn't revealed.

She turned to look at the person: the face looked familiar.

She must have seen her somewhere before.

A portrait! A portrait from the original owner's study!

Oh my god, "After doing something bad and running away, I suddenly ran into my crush!"

I'm sorry, original owner, I've embarrassed you.

Han Jiang clasped his hands together and muttered to himself as he walked.

Once most of the monsters had been calmed down, the secret realm was removed, and everyone returned to the arena.

Hanqi carried Wenxu straight to Wenwan.

Quite a few disciples of the Four Provinces Sect were injured.

Two women nearby were discussing the outcome of the hunt and the arrangements to follow it up.

One is Gui Xu, and the other is the Third Prince of the Demon Clan, Cang Jingye.

The Vermilion Bird Pavilion suppressed the onlookers and attempted to clear the area.

With things having come to this point, the treasure hunt was forced to end.

The crowd was in complete chaos. For Han Jiang, if he didn't run now, when would he ever get another chance?
