Everyone looked in the same direction, towards the tent Munin and the rest were in.
"Yue Qi, come with me to take a look, the rest of you stay here and don't move." Goatfelt said to a tall youth.
The two of them quickly arrived at Munin and the rest's tent circle, and saw a bonfire in the middle. Munin had only a dozen people, roasted two fat lambs, half a side of beef, and all sorts of expensive spices were sprinkled on top.
The value of the beef and lamb was more expensive than all the food his family had eaten on the way here.
"Ice Spring Wine, White Fruit Wood!" Goatfelt sniffed.
The two of them walked straight to Munin and the rest's bonfire.
"What's the matter?" Munin asked, even if he did not eat or drink, he had to come out and put on an act.
"Sigh, you should have taken out all your family's assets? I forgot to mention, the competition will only start in seven days, we can only enter the city then. "Goatfelt resisted the urge to swallow his saliva, and said regretfully.
"Got it." Munin said.
Goatfelt was slightly taken aback: "Little brother, don't you know, to enter the competition, not only do you need to spend a lot of money to make connections, you also need to prepare a betrothal gift for the princess." “
"Let's sit down and eat together." Munin said.
"Really!" Goatfelt and the youth beside him widened their eyes, and then sat down in surprise, afraid that Munin would go back on his words.
The two of them were still cautious at first, but then they wolfed down the food.
When the roasted meat reached their throats, and they drank a lot of wine, Goatfelt's face was flushed, and he burped, and began to boast.
"This is my fifth son, Huo Yue Qi. He is the number one hunter within a few hundred kilometers of us. No one can compare to him. Hunting tigers and killing wolves is nothing difficult for him. My Yue Qi has great confidence in this time's Prince Consort selection. Little brother, I thank you for your wine and meat, when my Goatfelt becomes the prince, I will definitely not forget you. "
Munin turned a deaf ear, Momo was too lazy to look.
Only a few guards glanced at Goatfelt, this burly youth was at most a third rate warrior, where did he get his confidence from, to think he could become the prince.
Gu Yueqi did not think so. Under the praise of Gu Yueqi, he even displayed his developed muscles.
After Gu Clan father and son left, Munin said, "Before entering the city, don't roast meat anymore."
"Yes. Momo and the guards responded.
Originally, Munin thought that Momo and the guards hadn't eaten or rested well after traveling for more than a month, so it was time to reward them.
Actually, it wasn't that good. An ordinary family like San Yang Tai could afford it.
However, he underestimated the poverty of the four sheep people of the Snowfield Kingdom. A little roast meat had attracted so many people's attention. If this continued, it would inevitably arouse other people's suspicions.
The next night, Momo and the guards lit a bonfire. They didn't roast any meat or drink any alcohol.
Quite a number of people had secretly come over to watch. Hooded Goatfelt had come over to greet them directly, but it was actually a confirmation.
After returning, Gu Yueqi proudly boasted again, "Those people next door, they look big and tall, but in fact, they are greedy for food and drink. They don't have any brains. They still want to participate in the competition. If I had known, I would have charged them more money."
"Dad, you are right. Those people really don't have brains. Their skills are sloppy and ordinary. None of them can be called brave. Especially that kid who looks like he wants to participate in the competition. I am afraid he has only read some books. He is better than ordinary scholars. Such a person wants to enter the city to participate in the competition. He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Does he think that those lords and the princess will take a fancy to his literary talent? "Gu Yueqi said very disdainfully.
"Don't mention those people. It's disappointing. Yueqi, you have to be prepared. As long as you become the prince, our family will reach the sky in one step. What San Yang Tai family, even Jin Yang Gui, is not worth mentioning." Gu Yueqi waved his hand.
"Dad, you can rest assured. In this competition, I am 99% sure that no one of my age in the Snowfield Kingdom is my opponent." Gu Yueqi heroically drank a pot of wine.
The other family members kept echoing.
They thought they were keeping it secret. Munin and the others next door could all hear it.
Only a few bad-tempered guards could not help but say that summer insects could not talk about ice.
Time flashed by, and the day of the competition arrived. As Gu Yueqi said, the number of people entering the city was strictly controlled.
Only seventy or eighty martial artists and their families successfully entered the city. Everyone else was blocked outside the city.
The city was strict beyond imagination. Every three steps there was a sentry, every five steps there was a post. Everywhere there were soldiers of the Snowfield Kingdom armed with weapons.
Everyone who entered the city must follow the order. There could not be the slightest mistake. Otherwise, they would be caught and tortured.
Munin followed the crowd to the center of the city. In the distance, he saw an ice and snow circular square. In the middle, there was a crystal clear ice and snow arena.
In the upper position, there was an ice and snow pavilion, heavily guarded.
Inside, there were important figures of the Snowfield Kingdom.
General Jin Lang, ministers, members of the royal family, and Shen Youxue were also in the pavilion.
The square was full of soldiers of the Snowfield Kingdom.
Spectators and martial artists must stay in the specified area.
Before Munin entered the city, he used a chance to make a move and maintained the strength of a second-rate martial artist.
It was easy to find that Shen Youxue was completely controlled and had no power to resist. He knew that Jin Huan and his son had a conspiracy.
Regardless of whether the Family Shen Royal Family and Shen Youxue agreed to recruit a prince consort, he would first send out the golden list and recruit all the eligible men of the Snowfield Kingdom.
Once the competition came to an end, Shen Youxue would either agree on the spot or refuse.
If he agreed, Jin Huan would achieve his goal, and the throne would be in the bag.
Once he refused, Shen Youxue could only defeat five peers or go to the Ice Lake Sunset Snow Island. Not only would he lose his life, but he would also make the Family Shen Royal Family lose faith in the world.
There were exactly one hundred people participating in the competition. Most of them were the people of the Four Sheep Kingdom.
Not long after, Jin Lang and the ministers came to the stage to announce the start.
The way of the competition was very simple. The one who suppressed the crowd would win!
In order to make up for the disadvantage of the first person on the stage, the second person on the stage could only make ninety-nine moves. If he could not defeat his opponent, he would lose.
So on and so forth. The hundredth person on the stage could only make one move.
While the crowd hesitated, a burly young man wearing a tiger skin jacket and holding an ice shield jumped onto the ring. He put the ice shield on the ring and the whole ring trembled.
"Brave God Warrior!" Most of the people's faces changed.
The young man on the ring was obviously a rare Brave God Warrior of the Snowfield Kingdom. He was the top existence comparable to a first-class martial artist.
"You can come and challenge me, Jin Lang!" The burly young man arrogantly looked around.
Everyone turned pale with fright.
The Brave God Warrior made most people tremble with fear. The identity of Jin Lang, the son of the Great General, was even more frightening.
However, the Snowfield Kingdom had always advocated bravery. It was not shameful to be defeated, but it was shameful to retreat without a fight.
In addition to the beginning, the people behind all rushed to the stage to compete.
Munin found that these people who participated in the competition were some kind of cat. Most of them could not even reach the level of a third-rate martial artist.
The real masters were afraid of the prestige of Jin Lang and his father and did not dare to participate in the competition.
Many of the forces loyal to the Family Shen Royal Family also wanted to stop the conspiracy of Jin Lang and his father, but once they participated in the competition, they could not explain it clearly. Therefore, only a few forces sent their elite children to the stage to compete. It was unknown whether they had bad intentions, or they really wanted to stop the ambition of Jin Lang and his father.
A group of inferior martial artists had the courage to go on stage, but they were frightened by Jin Lang's momentum and were carried off the ring.
Until Yue Qi went up and became the first person to jump off the ring.
Yue Qi's family did not have the slightest sense of loss. Instead, they were very proud.
Yue Qi's face was red as he boasted, "Look, I said that my family's Yue Qi is incomparably brave. Even in the face of the God-like Young General Jin Lang, he can still remain calm!"
As the number of people decreased, a second-rate martial artist finally went up, but he was directly smashed off the ring by Jin Lang's ice shield. Blood spurted out of his mouth, and his ending was very miserable. He was even worse than the martial artists who were paralyzed with fear.
The few second-rate and third-rate martial artists who went up after him all had the same ending.
The remaining few people did not care about their face and rushed to admit defeat.
"Who else wants to challenge me!" Jin Lang held the ice shield in his hand and his eyes were like torches. Wherever he went, no one dared to look directly at him.
"Me." A tall and straight youth opened his mouth. A strong aura swept out from his body. He was also a first-rate martial artist.
"Yu Ge! You really want to go against me. " Jin Lang's eyes flashed with a trace of seriousness.
The tall and straight youth moved and appeared on the ring, "I really have no intention of going against the Young General."
"Since you have made your choice, don't regret it." Jin Lang held the order arrow and ice shield and attacked.
Yu Ge was not to be outdone and pulled out his steel sword to meet the attack.
The ice shield and the steel sword collided and the two fought. For the time being, they were in a state of being evenly matched. It was far from the previous situation of being crushed.
"Young Marshal, what should we do?" Momo whispered.
"Let's watch first." Munin silently watched the two people on the ring.
On the way, he had collected a lot of information about the Snowfield Country in recent years. This Yu Ge was also among them.
Yu Ge was known as the number one genius of the Snowfield Country in the past hundred years. At the age of 18, he became a first-rate martial artist and received the title of the brave martial artist. No less than ten first-rate martial artists of the older generation had been defeated by him.
Now twenty-five years old, his martial arts had already reached perfection. He was also one of the best among the first-rate martial artists.
In the ring, Yu Ge had already made eight moves and had not gained the upper hand.
"Yu Ge, don't forget, you are the ninety-first person on the ring. You still have one move." Jin Lang laughed.
"I don't need you to remind me." Yu Ge's wrist shook and then used the Immortal Guides the Way. He went straight for Jin Lang's heart.
Jin Lang used the order arrow and ice shield to block in front of his body, tightly defending himself, "With this broken sword of yours, can you pierce my ice shield? “
"Where's the sword?" Yu Ge shouted, and the fine steel sword suddenly appeared on the sharp edge of five inches. If it was not the sword, then what was it?
"You're crazy, you dare to kill me." Jin Lang was shocked, and the ice shield in his hand was unsteady.
"Die, you traitor who brings disaster to the country and the people!" Yu Ge pressed forward courageously, his sword-light increasing by thirty percent.
Seeing the sword in front of him, Jin Lang no longer defended, and swept the ice shield towards Yu Ge. It looked like a cornered dog jumping over the wall, and was about to die.
"Clang!" The fine steel sword accurately pierced Jin Lang's heart, but was unable to enter.
Instead, a thin layer of frost quickly spread on the sword, and in the blink of an eye, Yu Ge's whole body was wrapped in frost. The ice shield swept across his chest, and a large cut appeared. Blood gushed out. His expression changed greatly, and he quickly retreated.
Jin Lang's attack succeeded, and he pursued.
Yu Ge decisively jumped out of the ring and was rescued.
When the others saw this, they gave up.
In the end, only Munin was left.
