Apprentice Crit Strike Return: It’s up to you to revitalize the Daomen

Chapter 298 Winter Hunting
Jiang Xiaoliu finally communicated with Xuanwu by using his beast-monitoring skills, making Xuanwu think that he could escape from the palace and swim in the sea with him in the future.

And after so many years, Jiang Xiaoliu has always been planning the future for himself.

His foundation is too weak, the other princes have family support behind them, and there is no shortage of resources and famous teachers, but he has nothing, only knowledge and wealth that others can't match in a few lifetimes.

This basalt is his greatest reliance in the future. The basalt is so big that a lake can't hold it.

He would come here every month to get a drop of basalt blood, most of which he took to take tempered flesh and blood, and the remaining bit used the puppet method he learned in one of his reincarnations to capture different species of turtles at the bottom of the lake, and poured the basalt blood on it. Supplemented with seal-cut imprints such as secret magic runes, after many years, even if all the restrained breath of Xuanwu disappears, there is still another Xuanwu at the bottom of the lake.

And this fake Xuanwu is usually controlled by Jiang Xiaoliu's secret method, and will not leak a trace of breath at all. It is controlled by him with the method of controlling beasts to lurk deep in the bottom of the lake, and rarely comes out to breathe, so as not to be discovered by interested people.

The current Jiang Xiaoliu looks like an ordinary martial artist, but he is actually the cultivation level of a great master at the pinnacle of martial arts. Others can't see it, and they still despise him and bully him as always, all thanks to him. All kinds of secret methods in the world of reincarnation cover up the breath.

Soon it will be the end of the year, the twelfth lunar month of winter is the day for the emperor to hunt in winter. Every time at this time, eighteen princes will be called to go together to hunt and kill the barbarians. While the princes compete with each other, they must know that the border is the biggest. If the barbarians are not peaceful, there will be no peace in the world.

In the past, Jiang Xiaoliu used excuses not to participate. Firstly, his cultivation would be exposed, and secondly, it would be meaningless to come and go. The other princes were all vying to perform in front of the emperor Laozi and fight for the crown prince. As an adult, he obtains a fief at the border, opens a mansion and builds a tooth, and the vast sky puts what he has learned in his heart to good use.

But this year seems to be an exception. The one who passed the decree was actually a big eunuch in purple clothes. At that time, the eunuch who held the pen was the eunuch Wang Gonggong, whose cultivation was unfathomable. Jiang Xiaoliu was taken aback.

It turned out that the content was simple and straightforward, that is, let him participate in this year's winter hunting, and also bestowed some high-quality medicine pills and armor, perhaps because he was worried that his death this year would be too ugly.

Jiang Xiaoliu didn't say much, and he didn't have any extra money to give Wang Gonggong, and he didn't care too much, but he just gave him a meaningful look and turned away.

Soon it was time for winter hunting, and the princes gathered in the royal hunting ground - Linhaixueyuan.

There are countless monsters here, and the royal family would come to hunt from time to time on weekdays. On the one hand, it is to practice martial arts, and on the other hand, there are many precious monsters that can be exchanged for a lot of money.

But the annual winter hunting is not to hunt monsters, but to hunt barbarians.

Barbarians, as the name suggests, are truly uncivilized barbarians.

They are big and thick, even women are like this, they have no etiquette and morality, they only know how to drink blood, hunt monsters and the people of the Great Qin Dynasty to sacrifice to the evil gods they believe in.

In the past dynasties, great Confucianists and great experts tried to assimilate them, but they all failed without exception. The barbarians did not obey discipline, did not recognize the ways of the human race, and could not be brainwashed. If they got a little freedom, they would immediately rebel and kill.

To deal with barbarians, the policy for thousands of years has always been to kill and not to bury. Never think about capturing and incorporating, or suppressing and killing on the spot, and if there is spare power, impose restrictions or poison, and force the barbarians to work hard to mine mountains. Pave roads and build bridges.

This year, a hundred barbarians at the level of martial arts masters were also arrested. Each of them was more than two meters tall. There was a low growl like a wild animal in the cage. Ordinary people were stared at by them, and their gallbladder was about to burst, and they were scared to pee on the spot.

Uncharacteristically, the emperor asked the eighteenth prince Jiang Xiaoliu to speak alone in front of all the princes and ministers and the eighteen princes.

This envied and envied everyone, especially the seventeen princes, who wanted to swallow him alive with their eyes. They couldn't figure out how a fallen prince who had been bullied by them since childhood could suddenly be received by the emperor in person. In their faces.

The emperor encouraged Jiang Xiaoliu to not hesitate and go all out, and then announced the start of winter hunting.

The other princes tried their best to perform well in front of the emperor, but Jiang Xiaoliu didn't understand why the emperor, who had always left himself to fend for himself, suddenly said such words to him?

What does it mean to go all out?
What do you mean don't be shy?
Could it be that the emperor knew about the fact that he secretly practiced martial arts with the blood of Xuanwu?
Can't even hide the peak realm of his martial arts master?

It stands to reason that he is very confident in his method of concealing breath. Even if the emperor's cultivation has long been beyond the secular world, far surpassing the innate 36 realm, but in the reincarnation of one life, Jiang Xiaoliu is also a detached person, and his cultivation is not there. He is under the emperor Lao Tzu, so he is full of confidence that no one will see his true cultivation.

But at present, it seems that the emperor has really discovered his secret.

That being the case, he didn't intend to keep it, and was going to use some tricks. From the perspective of his cultivation in previous lives, these seventeen princes were rubbish, even if their cultivation surpassed his by a few realms, they would not be his opponents.

The winter hunting started, and some masters released all one hundred barbarian masters. Although the barbarian masters drank blood, they were not stupid. The breath of each master on the emperor's side was as deep as hell, and the power of countless qi and blood condensed into the army that rushed into the sky. It also made them dare not to counterattack, but they just roared angrily and fled into the Xuelin.

The seventeen princes shouted loudly and cast their supernatural powers one after another, turning into shadows and chasing after them.

This pursuit immediately revealed the level of cultivation of the princes.

It is not the eldest prince who takes the lead. Although the eldest prince is old, born early, and has the support of a big family behind him, his aptitude is superior, he is not even considered a genius, and his cultivation so far is only at the third level of innate.

The qualifications in this life are divided into fools, inferior, middle, upper, genius, peerless genius, generation of arrogance, sage's capital, and son of destiny.

Jiang Xiaoliu's aptitude in this life is not good either, he is only a genius, and he can learn things very quickly, but compared with the detachment beyond the 36th level, he is still far behind. In that life, he was the aptitude of a generation of arrogance.

The fastest one is the fourth prince, who not only runs fast, but also moves so gracefully. Behind him is not a family, but Xiaoyao Xianzong, one of the eighteen great immortal sects.

Followed by the Seventh Prince, accompanied by thunder and lightning as he walked, he was like a god of thunder in the world.

Ranked third is the Tenth Prince, his body was ablaze with fiery flames, melting gold and fossils along the way, snow and trees turned into ashes one after another, behind him was also the Immortal Sect, called Lihuo Immortal Sect.

The other princes showed their own special abilities, but the one at the end of the crane was naturally Jiang Xiaoliu, firmly ranking last.
