Chapter 672: Spell Island and Treasure Hunting
Following Li Yinong, Ruan Chi soon came to the shore, where many boats were already parked ready to go to sea, where almost all the Huaxia people were concentrated, and they were busy carrying boxes of things onto the ship.
"Isn't the Zhenlong Conference held on the island? How do you want to go to sea? Ruan Chi asked strangely.
"The venue of the conference has been on another island 20 kilometers away from Penglai, so it takes half a day to sail to get there." Li Yinong explained.
After waiting on the shore for a while, Aofu and the members of the Eleven Convicted People arrived, and with them were Li Huangrong and Li Guojing.
"Big brother, I also told me where you went, it turned out that you were with Yinong." Auve walked over and smiled.
"I'm sorry, Brother Auf, because I have some personal matters that need to be discussed with Mr. Ruan Chi, so I went to him in advance." Li Yinong said apologetically.
"Hehe, it's okay, we were just to assist you in this Zhenlong Conference, and the specific details still need to be operated by you, if there is a place where we are useful, you can just ask for it." Auve haha.
Ma He also jumped out at this time and said: "Yinong, don't worry, I will definitely help you win the championship at this Zhenlong Conference." ”
As he spoke, the guy made an expression that he thought was handsome.
On the way here, Li Huangrong and Li Guojing had already told Aoff and the others about the rules of the Zhenlong Conference. When this guy Ma He knew that Li Yinong and his fiancé Li Yuanlong belonged to two different factions, he suddenly felt that he still had a chance, so he was naturally courteous now.
……
When everyone arrived, the patriarch Li Mingzong stood up and announced the start of the Zhenlong Conference. A total of 73 Chinese people participated in the election for the position of patriarch this time. More than half of the participants, who did not know martial arts or had low martial skills, sent representatives to take their place.
It's going to be held today. It is the first part of the Treasure Hunt of the Treasure Tournament, which is held on an island called Spell Island in the sea.
In order to hold this treasure hunt, the Huaxia people have sent people to collect all kinds of treasures on the island two days ago, and according to the rules of hunting, participants only need to find these treasures that have been collected on the island.
It is worth mentioning that the treasure hunt is the same as Ruan Chi's previous participation in the Five Kings Trial, and the participants can snatch treasures from each other.
The rules for looting are slightly different, though. Although treasure hunting allows treasure snatching, it is not allowed to fight each other, and once the robbery target dies, they will be directly deprived of the qualification to participate in the Zhenlong Conference.
This is also because of the scarcity of the Huaxia people, if the senseless sacrifice is caused by the robbery of treasures, then it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Huaxia people, who are already very thin.
After Li Mingzong explained the rules clearly, he announced that everyone could get on the boat and go to Curse Island, except for the contestants and the high-ranking Huaxia clan who presided over the meeting, they took a boat together, and the rest of the people followed in other boats.
Waited on the boat. Li Yinong immediately summoned everyone over, because there were only 5 places that could replace her. So she had to decide who would take part in the treasure hunt.
"Mr. Ruan Chi, Brother Auf is definitely going to fight, they are all melee professions, so for the remaining 3 places, I want the professions of the French system to participate to make up for the lack of long-range attack means." Li Yinong said.
"Is there a profession in the legal system? Then let me come, I'm a fire magician! Li Huangrong hurriedly jumped out and said.
"No, Rong'er, your strength is not enough to participate in the Zhenlong Conference, and the participants who participate in the Zhenlong Conference must have the realm of the king level." Li Yinong said.
When Li Huangrong heard this, she suddenly fell silent.
"What about me? I'm a royal knight. This time it was Mach's turn to raise his hand and recommend himself.
Li Yinong frowned, although Ma He has the strength of the king level, but his profession is also close combat, which is repeated with Ruan Chi and Aufu.
"It doesn't matter, it's good to have one more melee class, anyway, treasure hunting is to grab things, and when the time comes, there will definitely be a hand-to-hand fight, and multiple melee classes are good in front." Surprisingly, Ruan Chi was in favor of letting Maher play.
Ma He was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Ruan Chi to speak for himself.
Li Yinong really listened to Ruan Chi's opinion, nodded and said, "Okay, then add one melee slot, and the last two must be French professions." ”
In the end, after Li Yinong's screening, the last two places fell on the remaining two members of the Magician who convicted the eleven people.
One of them is the middle-aged uncle named Perrault, who was originally a king-level wind magician, and his strength was only below Li Yinong and Aofu among the eleven convicted people.
The remaining one is a woman named Casey, a priest by profession who can cast high-level healing magic at levels 7 and 8.
After the team was configured, Li Yinong suddenly showed a satisfied smile this time, although she couldn't participate this time, but with such a strong team to replace her in the Zhenlong Conference, she felt that she had a very good chance of being able to sit on the position of patriarch.
Next, Li Yinong took out some of the experiences summarized in the past Zhenlong conferences to share with you, hoping that Ruan Chi and them can avoid some detours.
The ship had been at sea for about three hours, and a rather large island appeared in front of it, which was supposed to be the place where the treasure was hunted, Enchanted Island.
The surface of the island is mostly black rocks, with a white sand beach at the forefront, a dense forest to the east, a cliff to the west, and a mountain range and a volcanic crater with white smoke in the distance.
"According to the rules of treasure hunting, there are about 221 places on the island where treasures are buried, and within three days after landing on the island, you can search for or loot treasures on the island at will, except for not harming the other party's life, there is no restriction on the means of qiē. Also, before we start, we will draw out the order of landing on the island......"
Where did Li Mingzong announce the final rule, and after speaking, the two Huaxia clansmen pushed out a large black box, which was a lottery holder, and inside it were various wooden cards with the order of numbers written.
According to Li Mingzong's explanation, after a while, 73 contestants will land on Spell Island in different places in different orders, also to prevent some people from starting to attack each other when they land on the island.
This kind of rule is similar to when Ruan Chi first participated in the Five Kings Trial, the sooner he lands on the island, the better, so that he can not only get more time to hunt for treasures, but also ambush and sneak attack other participants earlier.
As Lee Myung-jong announced the start of the lottery, all the participants began to draw lots one after another, and the order of the lottery was announced according to the list of participants held by Lee Myung-jong.
By the way, in addition to the patriarch and the five elders of the Penglai Huaxia clan, there are six halls below, namely Ebony Hall, Zisha Hall, Bailing Hall, Cuizhu Hall, Chiyin Hall and Jinxia Hall.
The functions of these halls are respectively responsible for the affairs of the Huaxia clan, among which the Ebony Hall, Zisha Hall and Bailing Hall belong to the faction of West Penglai, and the remaining Cuizhu Hall, Chiyin Hall and Jinxia Hall are the factions of East Penglai.
On the surface, East Penglai has the support of the patriarch, and its power should be greater than that of West Penglai, but in fact, among the five elders, three of the elders are supporters of West Penglai.
And in addition to these important departments, Xi Penglai is also in charge of Penglai Pavilion, and it can be said that the economic lifeline of the entire Huaxia clan is now controlled by Xi Penglai.
Of course, although the two factions have differences, the two groups will not tear each other apart at a critical time, and this Zhenlong Conference is also a key step for the two factions to discuss together and use to determine the future direction of the Huaxia clan.
The draw soon came to Ruan Chi's turn, and surprisingly, Ruan Chi's luck turned out to be very good, and he actually drew a lottery with the word "one" written on the wooden card.
"You're the first to land on the island!" Li Mingzong said with a smile.
Ruan Chi pinched the wooden card and put it away, he really didn't care about the first few landings.
The draw took about twenty minutes or so to end, and the final result was Auf's 27th landing, Perrault's 33rd landing, and Casey's 35th landing. As for Maher, he was a bit unlucky, and he was actually the 73rd and the last to land on the island.
"It doesn't matter, even if it's the last one, with my strength, I can quickly snatch a lot of treasures." Maher showed an expression that was more ugly than crying, and forced his composure.
"Landing on the island begins!"
As the ship slowly approached Spell Island, Ruan Chi was the first to walk to the deck, and according to Li Yinong's explanation, Ruan Chi took out the Penglai Order she had given earlier.
One of the conditions for participating in the Zhenlong Conference is that you must hold the Penglai Order, and as the team representing Li Yinong, at least one person in the team must be a Chinese person holding the Penglai Order.
This person was originally Li Yinong himself, but after Li Yinong found Ruan Chi, he gave Ruan Chi Penglai an order in advance, and asked him to represent himself as a member of the Huaxia tribe to participate in the Zhenlong Conference.
As for the four of Auf, they only need to assist Ruan Chi.
"Mr. Ruan Chi, good luck!" Before leaving, Li Yinong said to Ruan Chi.
"Be careful, don't get eaten by the monsters on the island." Li Huangrong said this quite awkwardly, obviously still angry about what happened before.
"Brother Ruan Chi be careful." Although Li Guojing knew that the black-haired young man in front of him was his rival, he still sincerely advised.
"I'll be careful!" Ruan Chi said with a smile.
"Big brother, after landing on the island, how about we meet at the volcano in the middle?" Auf said, pointing to the smoking volcano on the island.
"Okay, I'll wait for you there." Ruan Chi patted Auf on the shoulder.
At this time, the boat had already docked, and Ruan Chi waved at them and then jumped forward and jumped directly.
System: You discovered the single-player quest Enchanted Island.
When Ruan Chi jumped off the boat, the system popped up a prompt.
"Is this island still a copy?"
Ruan Chi frowned, but he didn't care about it soon, it was just a single copy, and it was estimated that it would not be difficult, and it should not affect the next treasure hunt. (To be continued......)
