Chapter 73 Hiding
A small number of people in Class A have already reached the peak of the first level, not to mention the geniuses.
As a member of a prominent family, Ji Mo seems like an outlier.
And under the influence of everyone, the end of the season seems to have become synonymous with waste.
Even those who have never seen the end of the season will feel disgusted when they hear this name.
In such a scene, Ji Mo was also happy to see that there was no one around, so he took out a rattan chair from the storage ring.
He sat down there and waited for everyone to arrive.
The people around him were speechless at Ji Mo's actions.
How could this guy be so shameless? Everyone had to avoid him to create a space, but at the end of the season, he didn't feel inferior, but instead had the audacity to make a rattan chair.
But there was nothing they could do. Not many of them had any background, and they had never even seen Ji Mo. They just followed the others' example to avoid being isolated.
The already somewhat crowded space became even more so as people sat on the wicker chairs at the end of the season.
But we are always approaching the end of the season.
It's like avoiding something.
Not long after, as the children of the aristocratic families walked from the other end of the hall to the front platform and sat down, the elders of the academy followed.
The leading elder of the Kun family stood up and announced the rules of previous years.
He then led everyone out of the academy and into the depths of Baishui Mountain, an ancient forest that had not been destroyed by humans.
The old voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"This is an unexplored place, and it is also a place that the various families of Baishui Mountain deliberately left behind."
"After years of training, we have no idea what beast lurks within."
"This will now be the place where you will undergo your trials." "Later, each of you will receive a coin that identifies you."
"Spread out across the ancient forest and begin fighting each other to snatch the coins from each other." "The one with the most coins will rank higher." "Or you can hunt wild beasts and take their trophies, each worth a coin."
"Whatever you choose is entirely up to you." "Also, I want to emphasize again that intentional killing and serious injury are not allowed."
"Violators will pay with their lives."
"If you're in an emergency, crush the coin."
"Delay until we arrive." "This is the most effective form of protection."
"We don't care about anything else."
"You can do it any way you like."
"Okay, that's it. Take the coins and wait for arrangements."
The elder of the Kun family waved his hand, and a breeze blew across their faces, blowing everyone away for a distance.
Everyone received their own coins in an orderly manner.
They were then blindfolded and sent to various places by the elders.
Not long after, the old voice came again on the breeze.
"The college competition officially begins now!"
Ji Mo took off the black cloth covering his eyes, and the sunlight shone through the shade of the trees and onto Ji Mo's face.
At the end of the season, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems there will be a lot of shady dealings in this competition." "As long as no one is killed or seriously injured, they won't care."
“Does it also mean that everyone can cooperate and trade with each other?”
"The lackeys originally belonging to various families will become the loyal hunting dogs of the young masters of the aristocratic families in this competition." "Continuously hunting those common people will quickly accumulate coins."
Ji Mo took out a smooth coin from his pocket, with Ji Mo's name engraved in the middle of the coin.
Ji Mo gently stroked the carvings on the surface, and white light emanated from it. The coins distributed were first-level magic weapons.
Ji Mo was not in a hurry to leave. According to the elders of the Kun family, they could not only rob each other, but also hunt first-level beasts in the mountains and forests.
A beast also represents a coin, which represents a point.
However, according to speculation at the end of the season, hunting wild beasts is nothing but a futile act, and the final ranking will be taken by the aristocratic families.
In this case, you can only look at the ranking of those who were eliminated.
Therefore, after taking off the black cloth, Ji Mo did not leave in a hurry. He had never been to this ancient forest and had no clear understanding of this place.
If you act rashly, you will easily alert the enemy. If you are unlucky and run into the young master of a certain family, you will have to face pursuit from many people.
If you say there is no shady dealings in the college's arrangements, no one will believe it at the end of the season.
The young masters of those big families must be very close to their lackeys, and who knows, they might have given the map of the ancient forest to each young master long ago.
This would put him in a very passive position at the end of the season, so he planned to set some traps and explore slowly.
There is no need to rush about the ranking. This competition will last for five days, so there is enough time to make arrangements at the end of the season.
When the number of people gradually decreases and the coins owned by each person increases, it is time to take action at the end of the season.
If we start catching people now, we can only get one or two at most. It is too troublesome. It is better to let others collect them and then we can do it ourselves. It will be much easier that way.
After thinking about it, Ji Mo took action immediately. He weaved the vines he found around into ropes, made a trap, covered it with dead leaves, and placed it on the road. He hid himself in a tree, activated the [Hidden Qi Technique] to conceal his breath, and waited for the prey to take the bait.
At this time, the [Listening Tongue] that Ji Mo had hidden for a long time was used again. Ji Mo quietly activated the [Listening Tongue] and secretly became an experienced hunter in the ancient forest.
In the clan hall of the Ji family, Ji Kongliang and Ji Wuan were sitting on chairs. The mirror on the table reflected the scene of Ji Wuming walking in the woods, and the dead leaves made a rustling sound when his feet landed on them.
Suddenly, the image in the mirror changed. Hidden in the treetops, a pair of eyes were silently watching the ground below and the sounds coming from not far away. His ears became very large, far beyond that of ordinary people.
Ji Wuan grinned: "How come it's so soon, the people of my Ji family are about to meet."
"Are they all so blatant?"
Ji Kongming shook his head, "This is Wuming's arrangement."
"He wants to meet the person who brought such great shame to the Ji family." "Oh?"
Ji Wuan was a little surprised, "So, the one hiding in the tree is Ji Mo?"
Ji Kongming nodded: "Wu'an, you know him too?"
Ji Wuan nodded: "Grandpa, you don't know how bad his reputation is in the academy. He is hated by everyone and even dogs are annoying."
"But looking at it this way, he doesn't seem as bad as his reputation suggests."
Ji Wuming strode forward, not noticing Ji Mo not far away at all.
"It seems that Wuming is about to be possessed by the Tao."
"This kid's hiding skills are really good."
Ji Kongliang smiled and said, "He is the only son of your great grandfather, so it is normal for him to have some tricks." "I am now suspicious that he may be hiding something, just like his father and grandfather."
