"Maha Continent... What kind of place is this?" Hayashikawa was puzzled, but he had no clue, because Hayashikawa's mother did not talk about this matter in detail, only once.
Putting aside this puzzling matter, Hayashikawa led the five people towards the surface, unimpeded all the way until they reached the surface.
Han Qing and the other two were shocked to find that Hayashikawa led the way was the shortest among all the routes, there was almost no detours, and what surprised them even more was that they did not meet anyone along the way.
"Hayashikawa knows this underground lava cave like the back of his hand!" This was the only answer that Han Qing and the other two could guess, and with the appearance of this guess, Hayashikawa's surname of Lin became extremely suspicious at this time.
The 44th hunting ground assessment had entered the last day, and at this time, the teams that did not obtain enough Neidans and Scarlet Flame Red Lotuses had reached the last fight, and robbing had become the only way for them to obtain these things quickly.
Just as Hayashikawa was about to reach the surface, he had already seen a large number of cultivators gathering and ambushing near the exit, including the powerful cultivators who had already passed the assessment and the newcomers of this assessment.
"You guys be careful, there must be someone up there preparing to rob our Scarlet Flame Red Lotuses." Hayashikawa reminded, because Han Qing and the other two were following, he did not mention the Taiqing Chu.
"En!" The five people nodded. Even if they did not see Hayashikawa's rolling eyes, they could probably guess what kind of scene there would be. However, with Hayashikawa in their team, they were not worried about encountering danger.
Especially Han Qing and the other two, they had already guessed that Hayashikawa was a core disciple of the Lin Family, how could he encounter danger in this place, it was simply like a flood rushing against the Dragon King's temple.
"There are about twenty people near the exit, and their cultivation is all below the 6th level of the Qi Refining Stage. That is to say, these people are all newcomers!" Hayashikawa silently observed the situation on the ground.
It would be difficult to snatch the Red Flame Lotus just by relying on the cultivation of these people, because the people in the karst cave could also gather in large groups and come out later.
After pondering for a moment, Hayashikawa focused his Byakugan's vision in one direction and swept it across. Although doing so would consume more Chakra, Hayashikawa could bear it now.
"As expected!" Hayashikawa thought to himself as he swept his gaze around. Then, he focused his gaze in one direction. A few hundred meters away from those people, he saw several dozen ninth level Qi Condensation cultivators.
"They did not directly take action, but they have forced the rookies to gather at the exit to snatch it. It's quite simple and effortless!" Hayashikawa sneered.
He had already thought of the methods these people would use to obtain the Red Flame Lotus. It was just the difference between plucking it themselves and snatching it.
Hayashikawa believed that most people would choose to enter the lava cave to pluck it themselves, because low cultivation meant that they could snatch it, but at the same time, it also meant that the amount of Red Flame Lotus they could obtain would be very little.
If everyone was waiting at the entrance to snatch it, then the purpose of entering this place would be completely lost, because no one would be able to obtain the Red Flame Lotus to exchange for cultivation resources.
Therefore, Hayashikawa concluded that most people would choose to enter the lava cave to pluck the Red Flame Lotus and control their fate in their own hands. Moreover, it was not impossible to snatch it underground.
As for those who stayed near the exit, they were either people with extremely high cultivation and could wait for others to 'obediently deliver themselves to their doorstep', or they were a group of people who had gathered together. From what Hayashikawa saw, they should have encountered the former type, because the cultivation of those people were mostly at the ninth level of Qi Condensation. They were extremely powerful existences.
"One of the reasons why the rookies are willing to be used by these people is because of their strength. Another reason is the rules of this examination!" Hayashikawa thought to himself.
Obtaining three Red Flame Lotus would allow one to pass the examination, but obtaining enough Inner Cores would also allow one to pass the examination.
The rookies could use the power of these people to distribute the loot reasonably. The Red Flame Lotus would be given to those powerful cultivators to exchange for cultivation resources, and the Inner Cores they obtained would allow them to rank as high as possible, thus allowing them to pass the examination!
Don't forget the real purpose of this hunt — to pass the examination!
"These guys really know how to mutually benefit each other!" Hayashikawa snorted coldly in his heart. Then, he said to the five people beside him, "Once you get out of the cave, run towards the hot spring lake. Don't go anywhere else!"
Although these words sounded strange, no one doubted Hayashikawa.
Bu Lian Shi and Qin Lang were completely trusting him, while Han Qing and the other two guessed that Hayashikawa wanted to bring them to seek protection from the strong cultivators of the Lin Clan. Otherwise, wouldn't they be courting death if they ran towards the lake? There was no way out!
Xiu xiu xiu …
The six of them were extremely fast, with Hayashikawa in the lead and the others following closely behind. Once they got out of the cave, they ran towards the hot spring lake without any hesitation.
When the people lying in ambush saw the six's actions, they were all stunned. This was the first time they had seen people running towards a dead end like this. Previously, all the cultivators had gathered together and rushed towards the exit, trying to break through their blockade.
However, none of them ran towards the center of the lake like Hayashikawa's group. Although there was no one lying in ambush in that direction, everyone knew that it was a dead end. Were they supposed to run to the lake and swim across?
Wasn't that the same as courting death? They had plenty of ways to attack those in the water. Those in the water were basically living targets!
"They … Are they really going to swim across?" As the twenty or so people gathered around, this strange and ridiculous thought appeared in their minds.
As Han Qing and the other two ran, their eyes scanned their surroundings from time to time, trying to find the strong cultivators of the Lin Clan who were hiding in the dark. They imagined that they would save all of them for the sake of Hayashikawa, a core disciple.
However, as far as they could see, apart from the pursuers who were getting closer and closer, and Hayashikawa's group who had already run far away, they did not see any strong cultivators!
"Could it be that we've been tricked?!" One of them suddenly said. They originally thought that someone would save them, so they ran slower. However, at this moment, when they saw Hayashikawa getting further and further away, their faces finally turned green!
It seemed that Hayashikawa was really running to the lake, and it was not like they had imagined that there would be a strong cultivator coming to save them.
At this moment, the three of them finally understood. They used all their strength and ran towards the lake. Although they did not know where the exit was, at least Hayashikawa's powerful strength was there. He would not really let them die. Or rather, they were originally bait!
At this moment, Hayashikawa had already reached the lake. The dense water vapor wrapped around Hayashikawa's figure. When he stepped into the water, a large splash of water splashed up. Under the cover of these splashes, the corners of Hayashikawa's mouth curled up, and his hands quickly formed a seal in front of his chest.
