From the current situation, it could be seen that Peng Cheng, Jin Dufeng, and Tao Mumu had a grudge against each other. Hence, when enemies met, their eyes blazed with hatred.
However, just as the three of them were about to draw their swords, the people from Four Seasons Mountain River stepped forward to resolve the conflict.
On this ship, other than the participants, there was also the "Ri Sheng" of Four Seasons Mountain River!
"Ri Sheng" was the name given to the most basic members of Four Seasons Mountain River. In Four Seasons Mountain River, each Ri represented the code name of an assassin. Hence, there were a total of 366 "Ri Sheng" in Four Seasons Mountain River.
They wore the same white leather clothes and a white mask with no words on it. No one knew what kind of face was under the mask.
However, from their bodies, there was a chilling murderous aura that made people not dare to act recklessly.
"Tsk, Peng Cheng, just you wait. At the Treasure Hunt, I'll teach you a lesson."
After Jin Dufeng and Tao Mumu said this, they turned around and left. Peng Cheng was left behind, narrowing his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Brother Zhuo, at the Treasure Hunt, stay away from these two guys. They're not good people."
Peng Cheng warned Zhuo Bufan. Zhuo Bufan was baffled.
"Brother Zhuo, let's work together. The Treasure Hunt is not as simple as you think. I've participated in it for three years and know the importance of working together."
Peng Cheng looked at Zhuo Bufan with anticipation. After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan was indifferent.
He was a lone wolf and had no intention of working together.
Seeing Zhuo Bufan hesitate, Peng Cheng took out a golden whistle and handed it to Zhuo Bufan.
"Think about it. When we arrive at the venue, if you want to find me, just blow it."
After Peng Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Looking at Peng Cheng's departing figure and then looking at the golden whistle in his hand, Zhuo Bufan smiled slightly.
…
After staying on the ship for a day, Zhuo Bufan and the others finally arrived at their destination.
At this time, everyone had completely forgotten where they came from. Because when they woke up the next day, Four Seasons Mountain River's ship was already floating on a huge lake.
"Everyone, we have arrived at the venue for this year's Treasure Hunting Meet."
The August House Master stood at the bow of the ship and pointed to the distance.
When everyone heard this, they ran to the deck and looked in the direction that the August Tower Master was pointing.
In the direction where the sun rose, a sea of crimson bamboos as red as blood appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was Zhuo Bufan's first time seeing the scarlet red bamboo. It was red and tender, just like blood.
Swathes of bamboo forest converged to form a boundless bamboo sea.
Under the illumination of the dawn, it became extremely charming and full of mysterious colors.
"Up ahead is the Treasure Hunting Meet's competition venue, the Crimson Blood Bamboo Sea. Before that, allow me to inform everyone of the rules of the Treasure Hunt. "
"Today, my Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers will only recruit 23 'Sun Sheng'. In other words, nearly 80% of you will be eliminated. "
"The elimination rules are very simple. We have placed many treasure chests in this sea of Crimson Blood Bamboos. Inside the treasure chest could be a golden token, or it could be a poisonous snake or poisonous fog, or it could be nothing at all. "
"Your mission is to find the golden token and bring it back to the ship."
"The first 23 people to bring back the tokens are the people we want to recruit. As for the rest, even if you find a token, sorry, but you will have to come back next year! "
"These are the rules of the Treasure Hunt. Are there any other questions?"
When the August House Master finished explaining the rules of the competition, Zhuo Bufan nodded slightly. It seemed like Peng Cheng hadn't lied to him. It was exactly as he had said.
"How is it, Brother Zhuo? I didn't lie to you, right?"
Zhuo Bufan had just thought of Peng Cheng, but he hadn't expected that fella to be standing behind him.
"Haha, thank you very much," Zhuo Bufan said politely and didn't say anything else to Peng Cheng.
"Isn't this Treasure Hunt too sloppy? If a rookie is lucky enough to get a token as soon as he enters the sea of bamboos, wouldn't he be able to join the Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers easily?"
"And if some experts are unlucky and don't get a token when they open the treasure chest, they will be rejected by the Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers. Won't the Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers regret it?"
Not long after, someone really raised a question. His question was also something that many people couldn't understand.
"That's right. I thought the Treasure Hunt would be an arena competition to pick out the strongest. I didn't expect it to be so childish. "
"My luck has always been bad. It seems like I won't have a chance this year. It's a pity that I can't be used by the Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers despite my powerful cultivation base and strength. "
Someone was complaining even before the competition started.
When the August House Master heard this, he snorted coldly. "Childish? The Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers don't want experts, but assassins. "
"For assassins, luck is also an important factor."
"Are there any other questions? If you have any doubts about the rules, forgive me for not answering, "the August House Master said again.
He was indifferent to everyone's complaints.
"Erm, let me ask. Will there be any demon beasts in the sea of Scarlet Blood Bamboo?" someone in the crowd asked with a trembling voice.
It was obvious that the voice came from someone weaker.
The person who asked this question was immediately despised by everyone. Zhuo Bufan looked in the direction of the voice. It was a boy who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"He wants to enter the Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers to become an assassin at such a young age?" Zhuo Bufan frowned.
"Haha, Brother Zhuo, don't you know? You can get five hundred taels of spirit stones by registering for the Treasure Hunt. Many people participate in the Treasure Hunt just for the money. "
Peng Cheng's words stunned Zhuo Bufan.
"The five hundred taels of spirit stones were given for the registration?"
He thought of the five hundred taels of spirit stones that Chu Tenth had given him yesterday. He thought that Chu Tenth had given it to him.
"Your question is very good." Just as everyone was despising the boy, the August House Master suddenly spoke.
"If you don't ask, I don't plan on answering. After all, collecting unknown information is one of the basic skills of an assassin. However, since someone has asked, I'll tell you. "
"A large number of Scarlet Blood Snakes live in the sea of Scarlet Blood Bamboo. Many of them have already cultivated demonic aura, and some are even half-demons. "
"Therefore, you're on your own now!"
The August House Master's words made the contestants on the boat nervous.
"Scarlet Blood Snake? That's a venomous snake! "
"How can this be? A demonic beast has never appeared in the previous Treasure Hunt!"
"It should be fine. If it's just a Scarlet Blood Snake, I can defeat it with a single sword strike."
"No matter what, it's best to be careful. You haven't heard of half-demons."
…
The crowd was noisy as they discussed spiritedly. They had been mocking the boy's cowardice earlier, but now, they were so nervous that they did not dare to disembark.
"Creak!"
The Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers ship quickly docked at the ferry. At this moment, the August House Master announced loudly.
"I hereby announce that the Treasure Hunt has officially begun!"
As soon as the House Master finished speaking, figures jumped off the big ship and quickly disappeared into the sea of bamboo like treasure hunters.
"Brother Zhuo, let's go too!"
Peng Cheng said to Zhuo Bufan.
Zhuo Bufan chuckled and said, "You go first. I'll wait a little longer!"
Peng Cheng saw that Zhuo Bufan was hesitating, so he said, "Alright, I'll go first."
Peng Cheng jumped off the big ship and disappeared into the sea of bamboo.
