Chapter 100 Hunting Game, Start!
"Okay, no more nonsense. Although you have passed the trials and obtained the qualification to enter the inner courtyard, it is not over yet... We have a small game specially for freshmen in the inner courtyard waiting for you to join."

"What game?" Everyone immediately felt something was wrong. They had to play games just to enter the inner courtyard. This was not good!
Elder Su laughed and without any explanation, he just raised his hand and a handful of pitch-black chips appeared in his hand.

He threw it casually, and the chips shot out like thousands of raindrops, and then floated in front of everyone. Xiao Ming grabbed it casually and held it firmly in his hand.

When Xiao Ming and his companions received the chip, they immediately felt a strange heat seeping out from it. They lowered their heads to take a closer look and found that on the chip, there was a transparent glass mirror with a big red number engraved on it: "Five"!
"What does it mean?"

Looking at the red words, most people were puzzled, but when they raised their eyes, they were shocked to find something.

The group of leisurely young people who were originally standing behind the middle-aged man were now staring at the black chips in their hands with fiery eyes.

There was an undisguised greed in their eyes. It seemed that this thing was some kind of treasure. Everyone began to think secretly.

"Some things are difficult to explain. You will understand them when you enter the inner courtyard. However, you only need to know one thing now, which is to treat the chip in your hand as a treasure!"

"When you enter the inner courtyard, you will understand its importance to you! Of course, looking at the looks in those guys' eyes, I'm sure they understand a little bit."

At the end of his speech, Elder Su pointed at the group of young people with covetous looks in their eyes and couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Ming looked at the two girls and nodded slightly. He shook the chip in his hand, a ray of light flashed, and then it was put into their respective storage rings.

"Next, you need to enter the forest and successfully reach your destination at the end of the forest - the inner courtyard."

Elder Su's finger still stayed on the group of young people, and he said calmly: "When you travel through this forest, be careful of these guys, because according to the rules of the Inner Court, they can enter and exit this forest at will, which means they can attack you."

"Remember, the words on the chip in your hand are like lambs to a hungry wolf. So, apart from killing people, they will do everything they can to obtain the "fire energy" on your chip!"

Elder Su chuckled and continued.

"You will find this word very familiar and intimate later. Now, you have to avoid them or defeat them. Anyway, as long as you don't get caught by them and successfully reach the inner courtyard, you will have the final grand prize. The earlier you arrive, the richer the reward."

Elder Su turned his finger sharply and pointed at the dark forest behind him: "For this forest snatching game, we in the inner courtyard call it the "Fire Energy Hunting Competition!"

"Now, I declare that this year's "Fire Energy Hunting Competition" will begin now! Freshmen, start escaping!"

After entering the forest, Xiao Ming and his companions walked leisurely, as if they were on their way home, without any intention of caring about the fire hunting competition.

This scene made the two people in Wu Hao's team anxious.

"Xiao Ming, it's not good for us to be so arrogant like this!"

"Yes, yes! Elder Su has told us to flee, so why not leave quickly!"

"Haha, you two cowards, if you're afraid, just leave early!" Before the young man could say anything, Hu Jia spoke first, but she suddenly breathed and looked at the two people in front of her with contempt.

"Ah this..."

"We don't want to do that either!"

"Wow, you guys look so leisurely. It's ok to strut around in a place like this, but you even dare to fight. Aren't you taking us seriously?" Suddenly, a light teasing voice was heard in the woods, and the two people in Wu Hao's team froze suddenly.

Several people looked up hurriedly, and saw that on each of the five branches above their heads, there was a young man standing. On their chests, these young men were wearing a badge with a tower-like pattern. Obviously, they were hunters.

At this moment, the five young men were looking at the five people below with a playful look on their faces, as if a cat saw a mouse.

"You are the hunters, right? You are here to snatch the so-called 'fire energy'?" At this time, Xiao Ming also stepped forward, looked at several people, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

“Smart!” On the branch, a leader with a snake-like scar on his face smiled and snapped his fingers. He also took two steps forward and said maliciously, “That’s right, so hand over the fire energy card obediently, or don’t blame us for being rude!”

"What if you don't hand it in?"

"Well, I'm sorry, junior. We can only let you experience the true meaning of the fire hunting competition!" The scarred leader smiled and said coldly.

"Okay, Lingge, stop talking nonsense. We are short on time, let's get started!" another person also reminded.

"Haha, then don't blame me! Today I will teach you that entering the inner courtyard is not something you can do just by talking!"

Ling Ge laughed loudly, and his body shot out, rushing towards Xiao Ming quickly and hitting him with a heavy punch.

However, the young man didn't take it seriously at all. He just caught the punch casually, then twisted it slightly and exerted a little force, which directly dislocated Brother Lin's palm.

Ling'er's face turned pale and he was shocked.

"There's something wrong with you, what's wrong?"

The boy didn't reply, but just chuckled and then said lightly.

"Senior, you are right. This is a hunting game, but I would rather be the hunter! So, I can only trouble you to be the prey!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ming raised his left leg slightly and kicked out, directly kicking Ling Ge away, raising dust on the road. Ling Ge himself fell directly into a big tree.

With a "puff" sound, a trace of blood was left at the corner of Ling'er's mouth.

"So strong!"

"Let's do it together!"

"Deal with him. Such a powerful person is not allowed to exist in the inner courtyard!"

Several people from Lingge's team looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and showed fierce expressions. They took out their weapons and rushed towards Xiao Ming one by one.

Seeing this, the other four members of Xiao Ming's team also took action. Unfortunately, except for Xun'er and Hu Jia, the other two were knocked down by a single punch. They hunched their bodies like shrimps and were in great pain.
