Chapter 144 caused a sensation and the whole audience questioned it!
The teams from various countries were discussing the matter, and what they talked about the most was naturally the Eagle Country Team's harvest. The mountains of ferocious beast carcasses, just by visual inspection, created a huge gap between them and the teams from other countries.
Everyone believed that Eagle Country would definitely win the championship of this hunting competition.
At this moment, everyone also discovered the "vine ball" piled in the corner. It was Zhou Qi's tree demon, the head of the S-level crocodile dragon wrapped in vines.
To be precise, it is a small part of a head with a pair of animal horns.
Although it was only half a head, the S-level crocodile dragon beast was very huge. Even if it was only half a head, it would be as big as a mountain several meters high when wrapped up.
However, compared with the gains of other national teams, this "little" amount seems very meager.
Although the teams from other countries could not see what was wrapped inside the vines, judging from the size, it was at most the corpses of a few hundred ferocious beasts, so it immediately attracted the attention of the teams from various countries.
Everyone couldn't help but start talking again.
"Which country's team's harvest is that? Why is there only such a small pile? It looks so little?"
"Yeah, it looks like just a few hundred beast parts, and they're wrapped in vines, making it look so mysterious."
"That small pile wrapped in vines seems to be the harvest of the Dragon Country team."
"From the Dragon Country team? They wrapped themselves in rattan and dared not show them to others. Are they afraid of being embarrassed?"
"I heard that a member of the Dragon Country team went missing some time ago, and another member of the Eagle Country team went missing for a whole month. I guess this incident delayed their competition."
"It seems that the last place in this competition has been taken by Dragon Country again."
Amid the discussions among the crowd, representatives of the military forces of various countries and staff specially sent by the Court of Arbitration to preside over the competition also entered the training ground.
The person who presided over the competition was a high-ranking official of the Holy City Court of Arbitration named Charles.
He walked up to everyone and announced:
"Everyone, please be quiet. I declare that the hunting competition held by the Holy City Judgment Court is officially over. Next, the Holy City Judgment Court's special staff will count the harvests of the teams from various countries."
"Let me reiterate. This competition lasted for nearly four months. The beasts hunted by each country are only those above C-level. All beasts, when accumulated, must be converted to B-level. One hundred C-level beasts are equivalent to one B-level beast, and one A-level beast is equivalent to one hundred B-level beasts."
"Rewards will be given out based on rankings in this competition. The national team ranked ninth will receive ten bottles of Sea of Consciousness Liquid."
Charles began to announce the rewards for this competition. The Sea of Consciousness Liquid he mentioned is a kind of liquid that can increase the energy of the sea of consciousness.
This kind of medicine is not precious, but it is very good.
However, the last person can only get ten bottles, which is equivalent to one bottle per person. It is a bit shabby and not very useful.
"The national team ranked eighth will receive thirty bottles of Sea of Consciousness Liquid; the national team ranked seventh will receive sixty bottles of Sea of Consciousness Liquid; the national team ranked sixth..."
"."
The rewards for the last six places are considered ordinary and fail to attract much interest. What really attracts everyone's interest is naturally the rewards for the top three places.
"The national team ranked third will receive 300 bottles of Sea of Consciousness Liquid, 30 bottles of Soul Gathering Liquid, 10 bottles of Resurrection Liquid, and one Soul Gathering Pill."
When they heard the words "Spirit Gathering Pill", the teams from various countries were all stunned, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
The Holy City Arbitration Court actually offered the "Spirit Gathering Pill" as a reward, which was simply too luxurious!
Let’s talk about the “Spirit Gathering Potion” first.
The so-called soul-gathering potion, its greatest function is to quickly restore the dimensional energy within the summoner's sea of consciousness.
If a B-level summoner is caught in a battle, the energy in his sea of consciousness will be consumed greatly. By taking a bottle of soul-gathering potion, he can recover to his peak state in just three minutes.
Moreover, it can restore physical injuries and enhance the summoner's physical fitness in a short period of time.
It can be said that the soul-gathering potion is a life-saving thing.
In a real battlefield, facing countless ferocious beasts, having a bottle of soul-gathering liquid medicine is equivalent to giving you a little more hope of survival.
And "Huansheng Liquid", as the name suggests, is a medicinal liquid that can bring the dead back to life.
This resurrection liquid is extremely precious. As long as the summoner is still alive, taking a bottle of resurrection liquid can save his life.
This is a real life saver.
The Court of Arbitration originally rewarded Xu Shisan with three bottles. After Xu Shisan returned to Dongxiang, he gave one bottle to instructor Huo Shoucheng and one bottle to Xia Keer. Xu Shisan currently only has one bottle left, which is still stored in the Imperial Capital Academy.
This shows how precious this "revitalizing liquid" is.
And the "Spirit Gathering Pill" is something more precious than the "Resurrection Liquid".
It was a pill made from countless spiritual medicines. After taking it, the pill would instantly attract dimensional energy within a radius of ten kilometers. These dimensional energies would directly flow into the summoner's sea of consciousness without limit, and it would recover to its peak in just three seconds, and it could recover continuously.
Even if it is an S-level summoner, after the energy in the sea of consciousness is exhausted, taking a spirit gathering pill can restore it to its peak within a few seconds.
This is equivalent to the summoner's second life.
It can be seen how extraordinary and precious this Spirit Gathering Pill is. It is on the same level as the Twin Lotus.
There aren't even many of these heaven-defying Spirit Gathering Pills in existence in the Holy City Judgment Court. I didn't expect that this would be used as a reward this time.
Therefore, after hearing about the “Spirit Gathering Pill”, teams from various countries became excited.
And Xu Shisan was also very excited.
You know, Xu Shisan often falls into a coma due to the exhaustion of energy in his sea of consciousness, and every time he summons Flame Demon 457, it consumes a huge amount of energy.
If there was a Spirit Gathering Pill that could instantly restore the almost exhausted sea of consciousness, wouldn't it be possible for Flame Demon 457 to continue to kill everyone?
Thinking of this, Xu Shisan was extremely excited.
"The reward for the second place is 400 bottles of Sea of Consciousness Liquid, 40 bottles of Soul Gathering Liquid, 20 bottles of Resurrection Liquid, 3 Soul Gathering Pills, and 3 Hundred Poison Pills."
Hearing this, everyone was noisy again.
The number of revitalizing liquids actually increased to twenty bottles, along with three Spirit Gathering Pills and three Hundred Poison Pills.
This Hundred Poison Pill is also extremely precious. As the name suggests, it can cure all kinds of poisons.
You know, many ferocious beasts are poisonous. Once you are bitten by a poisonous beast in battle, no matter how many Spirit Gathering Pills you have, they will be useless.
However, this Hundred Poison Pill can detoxify the toxins of most ferocious beasts and is very powerful.
Having a hundred-poison pill can save lives at a critical moment.
Therefore, this Hundred Poison Pill is also extremely precious, and is as precious as the Spirit Gathering Pill.
Then, Charles began to announce the first prize:
"The reward for the first place in this hunting competition is 500 bottles of Sea of Consciousness Liquid, 30 bottles of Resurrection Liquid, 10 Soul Gathering Pills, 10 Hundred Poison Pills, and 1 Creation Pill."
"Ten Soul Gathering Pills?"
Everyone was in an uproar. The Court of Arbitration had really invested a lot of money this time.
Adding up, that's a total of fourteen Spirit Gathering Pills. After taking out these fourteen, there probably aren't many left in the Holy City Judgment Court.
As for the last "Creation Pill", Xu Shisan was a little confused.
So he asked Gu Yun: "Captain Gu, what is this Good Fortune Pill?"
In this regard, Gu Yun explained: "All summoners are autonomously awakened dimensional bodies that can absorb dimensional energy. This is determined by genes."
"No matter how hard someone tries to cultivate without a dimensional body, they will never become a summoner, and they will never absorb dimensional energy."
"Under normal circumstances, most men and women can awaken their dimensional bodies on their own around the age of thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen. If they haven't awakened by the age of seventeen, they probably won't be able to become a summoner in this lifetime."
"But this Good Fortune Pill can allow an ordinary person to become a summoner."
"So outrageous?" Xu Shisan asked in surprise.
"That's right. After ordinary people take the Good Fortune Pill, there is a high probability that they will forcibly open up a sea of consciousness in their bodies, practice, and become a summoner. Therefore, this Good Fortune Pill is extremely powerful."
Hearing this, Xu Shisan nodded thoughtfully.
You know, Xia Ke'er is already nineteen years old this year, but she has not yet awakened her dimensional body, so she is destined to be an ordinary person in this life.
However, if this Good Fortune Pill is given to Xia Keer to take, wouldn't she also be able to become a summoner?
Thinking of this, Xu Shisan became extremely excited.
He may not want the Spirit Gathering Pill, but he must get this Creation Pill!
Compared to Xu Shisan, the others were not interested or had little interest in the Good Fortune Pill.
Because they are all summoners, there is no use for this fortune pill.
Moreover, most of the players from Jiuguo come from large families, and most of their parents are summoners, as are their other brothers and sisters.
For example, Shen Xuanang is from the Shen family in the capital of Dragon Kingdom. Most of the direct descendants of the Shen family are summoners. It is really useless for him to have this Good Fortune Pill.
Therefore, people were not very interested in this Good Fortune Pill, which was not as good as those Spirit Gathering Pills.
"I have introduced the rewards for first to ninth place. Now let's ask the staff to review the hunting results of each country."
As Charles' voice fell, a group of specialized staff from the Holy City Judgment Court walked out from the crowd. They walked to the first pile of prey and began to count them.
This first pile of prey was the harvest of the Korean team this time.
After more than ten minutes of interrogation, the matter was finally investigated.
A staff member stepped forward and announced the results of the investigation: "This group of Korean team's prey has hunted a total of 5,320 C-level beasts, 1,930 B-level beasts, and three A-level beasts."
"That translates to 2,283 B-level beasts."
That’s right, this is what South Korea has gained in four months.
Most of the beasts they hunted were C-level beasts. However, one hundred C-level beasts were equal to one B-level beast. So, although more than five thousand C-level beasts seemed like a lot, they were only equivalent to more than fifty B-level beasts.
In four months, it was calculated that more than 2,000 B-level ferocious beasts were hunted, which was already very good.
You have to know that there are a limited number of ferocious beasts in the area, and the further you go in the back, the fewer there are to hunt, unless you go deep into the restricted area.
It is quite good for the Korean team to achieve this result.
Afterwards, the staff continued to count the second pile of prey, which was the prey of the Yue team. Soon, this pile of prey was also counted, which also took more than ten minutes.
A staff member stepped forward and said, "This is the harvest of the Yueguo team. A total of 6,472 C-level beasts, 1,825 B-level beasts, and three A-level beasts were hunted."
"That translates to 2,189 B-level beasts."
This is what the Yue team reaped. Although they hunted many more C-level ferocious beasts than the Korean team, they were far behind the Korean team in terms of B-level ferocious beasts. In addition, the number of A-level ferocious beasts was the same. Overall, they were slightly inferior to the Korean team.
Afterwards, the staff continued the investigation.
"This group of Tianzhu country's team hunted a total of 3,253 C-level beasts, 3,133 B-level beasts, and 5 A-level beasts."
"Converted to B-level beasts, there are a total of 3,665 B-level beasts."
"The Siamese team hunted a total of 4,760 C-level beasts, 2,314 B-level beasts, and 3 A-level beasts."
"Converted to B-level beasts, there are a total of 2,661 B-level beasts."
"The Japanese team's prey totaled 2,132 C-level beasts, 3,258 B-level beasts, and 5 A-level beasts."
"Converted to B-level beasts, there are a total of 3,779 B-level beasts."
"The prey of the Shengluo team totaled 1,200 C-level beasts, 3,862 B-level beasts, and 6 A-level beasts."
"Converted to B-level beasts, that's 4,474 B-level beasts."
"The prey of the Bear Country team totaled 3,300 C-level beasts, 4,535 B-level beasts, and 9 A-level beasts."
"Converted to B-level beasts, that's 5,468 B-level beasts."
At this point, the seven-nation team had checked and cleared all of their prey, which took nearly two hours.
Then, the staff began to clean up and check the prey of the Eagle Country Team.
This investigation took more than forty minutes.
Finally, the staff finished the cleanup and inspection, and one staff member came forward to report:
"The Eagle Country team's prey totaled 3,000 C-level beasts, 6,355 B-level beasts, and 22 A-level beasts."
"Converted to B-level beasts, that's 8,585 B-level beasts."
When the result came out, the whole audience was shocked.
There are more than 8,500 B-level ferocious beasts. This is a huge lead, more than 3,000 more than the Bear Country team.
There's no comparison, there's no comparison at all.
However, no one was surprised by this result.
Because they knew that the Eagle Country team went deep into the restricted area to hunt ferocious beasts. It was possible to kill more than 6,000 B-level ferocious beasts and more than 20 A-level ferocious beasts within four months.
After all, those twenty-odd A-level ferocious beasts alone are equivalent to more than two thousand B-level ferocious beasts.
Regarding this result, other national teams sighed:
"Oh, the Eagle Country team is first again. It's no surprise at all."
"Yeah, they all went to the restricted area to hunt beasts. It's not shameful to lose to the Eagle Country team."
"Number one in the gap, no suspense at all."
So far, a total of eight teams have been checked. So far, the Eagle team is first, the Bear team is second, and the Saint Luo team is third.
The rest are: Japan fourth, India fifth, Siam sixth, Korea seventh, and Vietnam eighth.
Of course, there is still one national team that has not been checked, and that is the Dragon Country Team.
However, everyone looked at the rattan ball and sneered.
Such a small pile of prey, if most of them are C-level ferocious beasts, it would be converted to a maximum of a few hundred B-level ferocious beasts.
It can be said that there is a fault at the bottom.
Therefore, several members of the national team could not help but sneer:
"It doesn't matter. Why should we lose face? We still have Longguo to support us."
"That's right. Such a small pile of prey, and you have the nerve to take it out and embarrass yourself, and even wrap it up with rattan. It's really ridiculous."
"They probably don't know that they are the last, so they might as well just give up and kill a few hundred prey to make up the number."
Amid the crowd's ridicule, several staff members came to the "rattan ball". One of them took out a knife, quickly cut the wrapped rattan, and then pulled it off.
The contents of the sepak ball were also displayed to everyone.
When everyone looked, they found that it was just a head, that is, a ferocious beast, and they immediately sneered.
But the next second, they suddenly frowned and looked at the half head in surprise.
The staff of the Adjudication Court who were in charge of the investigation were also confused. They stepped forward to take a closer look and were immediately shocked.
"This, this, this looks like the head of an S-rank Crocodile Dragon Beast!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!
"S, S-level beast? How is this possible?! It's impossible!"
"How could it be the head of an S-class beast? How could the Dragon Nation's hunting team kill an S-class beast? Even an A-class elite summoner team would have a hard time doing it!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Not only were the teams from various countries surprised, but representatives from the checkpoints of various countries were also very surprised, including Charles.
You should know that the hunting teams from various countries this time are all composed of B-level summoners. Except for the team leader, the level cannot exceed A-level.
It is simply impossible for a team composed of B-level summoners to hunt down an S-level beast, especially the Crocodile Dragon Beast with the strongest defense.
So, everyone’s first reaction was that it was impossible.
Amid everyone's uproar, these staff members went to inspect it again, checking every detail inside and out.
But no matter how it is identified, this is the head of an S-level crocodile dragon beast, it cannot be fake!
So, the appraisal staff member spoke again:
"This cannot be faked. This is the head of an S-class crocodile dragon beast. I declare that the prey of the Dragon Country team this time is a total of one S-class beast. Converted into B-class beasts, it is 10,000 B-class beasts."
As soon as this was said, many team members from various countries immediately stood up to question:
"Cheating! The Dragon Nation is cheating! How could they have hunted down this S-rank crocodile dragon beast?"
"That's right! It's cheating! I think it was secretly sent to their hunting team by the Dragon Country. This is blatant cheating!"
"That's right! I'm applying to disqualify the Dragon Country team from the competition!"
"Lord Charles, this Dragon Country team brought out an S-class beast. Aren't they treating us all as fools? They must be severely punished!"
Amid the doubts of the crowd, Charles's face looked extremely ugly.
He agreed. He also didn't believe that the Dragon Country team could hunt down an S-level ferocious beast. Bringing an S-level ferocious beast to participate in the competition, wasn't that treating him as a fool?
So Charles stood up and asked, "Is the leader of the Dragon Country team here?"
Seeing this, Gu Yun stood up.
"I am."
"Did your team hunt this S-level crocodile dragon beast?" Charles asked.
"Yes!"
Gu Yun didn't hesitate at all.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Can you vouch for it?"
"Yes is yes, no need to say more." Gu Yun said calmly, very confidently and calmly.
"The representative of the Japanese army at the checkpoint is here." Charles said again.
"Lord Charles, I am."
At this time, Nakayama Ohno, the representative of the Japanese Sekiguchi army, stood up.
He is the deputy commander of the Japanese garrison at the third checkpoint and also the representative of this trip.
"Is the Dragon Country Hunting Team competing at the third checkpoint in your Japan?" Charles continued to ask.
"Yes." Nakayama Ohno nodded.
"Is it true that the S-level Crocodile Dragon Beast hunted by the Dragon Country team was real?"
"Lord Charles, the S-level beast hunted by the Dragon Country team did not allow our Japanese army to conduct prior inspection, so I don't know either." Nakayama Ohno replied.
"Oh? Without your interrogation?"
Charles looked at Gu Yun again: "Captain of the Dragon Country team, what's going on? How do you explain it?"
In this regard, Gu Yun explained frankly: "Not all beasts hunted by teams from various countries are necessarily handed over for inspection. The reason why we did not allow the Japanese army to inspect first was to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, this S-level crocodile dragon beast was indeed killed by our Dragon Country team."
Hearing this, Zhongshan Daye snorted coldly, "Lord Charles, I think they are lying. If they really killed this S-level crocodile dragon beast, they would have brought it to our Japanese army for investigation to clear themselves of the suspicion of cheating. But they took it out now, which is simply cheating! Lord Charles, I think that the head of this S-level crocodile dragon beast was clearly secretly sent here by the Dragon Country, because some time ago, many Dragon people came to the checkpoint where our Japanese country is stationed. I think they took advantage of that opportunity to secretly send it here, or they secretly sent it to them on the way to the competition."
In response, Gu Yun also snorted coldly and retorted: "The reason why our Dragon Country army came to the third pass some time ago was because a member of our Dragon Country team was missing, and they were just looking for him."
"Moreover, even if the Dragon Nation sent troops, they would still need to be inspected by you. If this S-rank Crocodile Dragon Beast's head was brought by them, would you not be able to find it?"
"This is clearly a sophistry. Who knows how you secretly transported this S-rank Crocodile Dragon's head here? It might be in the forest!"
"Those who are clean will be clean themselves!"
