Chapter 1932: Attracting Attention
Translator: Legge
“Oh?”
Prince Yuan Zuo raised his brow slightly in surprise.
No matter the reason, even if it was purely luck, Black Immortals who could survive a Spirit Mine Blood Calamity were indeed rare.
In the cultivation world, although talent and endowment were important, fate, opportunities and luck were also indispensable.
There was no paragon or monster incarnate who could cultivate to the peak and look down on everyone with just their talent and endowment without any opportunities.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue said, “According to what that lad said, he was lucky to survive. The reason why I brought him to Absolute Thunder City to take part in this hunting game was because I wanted to see if his luck would allow him to survive till the end.”
After pausing for a moment, he said in a low voice, “If that lad’s luck is truly good and he’s different from ordinary people, he might be able to help you and contribute.”
“Who are you talking about?”
Prince Yuan Zuo asked.
“That green-robed cultivator,”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue pointed to a figure in the Mirage Mirror.
At that moment, the bloody battle in the Ten Absolute Hell had already broken out and it was extremely tragic on the battlefield. However, the green-robed cultivator had already left the battlefield and was not involved—he was extremely striking on the Mirage Mirror.
“Fufu,”
Prince Yuan Zuo chuckled. “That person is quite smart. To think that he would leave the battlefield in advance and not get involved.”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue pointed to another purple figure that was about to enter the forest. “That’s Tang Ziyi who ascended after crossing the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation.”
A moment later, through the Mirage Mirror, it could be seen that the green-robed cultivator was targeted.
As though he was wary and did not dare to fight, the green-robed cultivator turned and entered the forest as well, leaving the spot.
Prince Yuan Zuo shook his head. “If he merely has luck and no other trump cards, it would be difficult to stand out in this hunting game.”
The rule of the Hunting Meet was that only the top hundred could leave the Ten Absolute Hell alive.
In other words, even if the green-robed cultivator was lucky enough to survive till the end, he won’t be able to make it into the Hunting Ranking without killing enough people.
“Indeed. Yes… that lad’s movement technique is not bad,”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue glared at the Mirage Mirror and said.
At the side, Liu Yu smiled. “County Governor, this is the Ten Absolute Hell. There are many dangers that these people can’t imagine and every single step is alarming. No matter how good your movement technique is, it’s useless.”
Before long, Prince Yuan Zuo suddenly said, “That person is about to die.”
Everyone shifted their gazes towards the green-robed figure that was traveling through a forest in the Ten Absolute Hell.
The City Lord of Absolute Thunder City said, “Not far ahead of that lad is the territory of the Desolate Swamp Gigantic Crocodile. As long as he enters that place, he’ll definitely awaken that gigantic crocodile!”
“This Desolate Swamp Gigantic Crocodile is a Grade 3 Earth Demon. This lad is bound to die,” Liu Yu chuckled.
There were countless dangerous places like this in the Ten Absolute Hell.
Those demon beasts of the upper world were captured by many Exalted Immortal experts present and were deliberately imprisoned in the Ten Absolute Hell.
The hundred thousand Black Immortals who entered the Ten Absolute Hell would not only have to face the killing power of other Black Immortals, but also sudden dangers as such!
This was also one of the joys of many Exalted Immortals.
They loved to see the Black Immortals inside tremble in fear and panic in the face of the powerful demon beasts that suddenly appeared.
The sight of those Black Immortals struggling helplessly only to be hunted by demon beasts eventually gave them a different sort of pleasure.
At that moment, the battle was getting more intense and bloody.
Black Immortals would die at every moment!
The names on the Hunting Ranking changed continuously and the numbers at the back jumped continuously.
However, some Exalted Immortals in the City Lord’s residence noticed the green-robed cultivator.
“To think that someone would encounter an Earth Demon so quickly, haha.”
“This person looks weak and scholarly. I reckon that he’ll faint on the spot when the Desolate Swamp Gigantic Crocodile appears!”
Many Exalted Immortals burst into laughter and waited for the green-robed cultivator to step into the Death Swamp on the Mirage Mirror.
Time passed bit by bit.
The smiles on the faces of many Exalted Immortals gradually vanished.
Under normal circumstances, according to the trajectory of the green-robed cultivator, he should be able to reach the Death Swamp before long.
However, for some reason, when he was about to reach the edge of the Death Swamp, the green-robed cultivator stopped in his tracks strangely and did not continue forward.
Under the gazes of many Exalted Immortals, the green-robed cultivator stayed on the spot for a long time and began to change directions.
“Strange, could that lad have discovered the Death Swamp?”
“That can’t be. Although we call that place the Death Swamp, the Desolate Swamp Gigantic Crocodile went silent and the surface of the swamp looks no different from normal ground. How could that lad have noticed it?”
“It’s probably a coincidence,”
The Exalted Immortals were displeased that the bloody scene many of them anticipated did not appear.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue smiled gently. “Seems like this lad’s luck is indeed not bad.”
At the side, Liu Yu pouted his lips in disapproval. “There are dangers as such everywhere in the Ten Absolute Hell. I don’t believe that this lad will be so lucky every single time.”
Two hours later, the initial bloody battle in the Ten Absolute Hell was gradually coming to an end.
Although many cultivators had already left the battlefield in the chaos, the battlefield was still filled with corpses and rivers of blood—it was extremely tragic!
At least 20,000 Black Immortals died in that battle!
However, the Hunting Meet had only just begun.
As the flames of war gradually extinguished, the attention of many Exalted Immortals dispersed and landed on some Black Immortals that were the focus of attention. Li Tian, Jian Yu and the others were closely watched by everyone.
Unlike others, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s gaze was fixed on Su Zimo the entire time.
Suddenly, Prince Yuan Zuo asked, “How many has it been?”
“This is already the fourth,”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue replied.
Including the initial Death Swamp, the green-robed cultivator had already avoided four similar dangerous places along the way!
The green-robed cultivator did not fight anyone the entire time and merely wandered around the Ten Absolute Hell.
However, each time he was about to step foot into a dangerous place, the person would suddenly stop as though he sensed something beforehand and change directions to dodge.
If it was just a coincidence once, four consecutive times was something worth pondering about.
“Interesting,”
Prince Yuan Zuo murmured softly and his eyes gradually lit up. Most of his attention was focused on Su Zimo.
At that moment, the tens of thousands of Black Immortals had already separated and scattered everywhere in the Ten Absolute Hell.
Through the Mirage Mirror, dozens of Black Immortals entered the Death Swamp by mistake without realizing anything and alarmed the Desolate Swamp Gigantic Crocodile!
The Death Swamp spun continuously with a powerful suction force.
Dozens of Black Immortals fell into it and could not break free at all.
Immediately after, a gigantic crocodile that was thousands of feet long appeared in the middle of the vortex. It had a ferocious gaze and saliva drooled from the corner of its mouth with a terrifying aura!
In less than ten breaths, the dozens of Black Immortals were devoured by the Desolate Swamp Gigantic Crocodile!
Similar situations were happening repeatedly in the Ten Absolute Hell!
Everyone inside was prey.
