Chapter 157 The eve of the competition

Hearing what Yang Wanli said, Jiang Hao could understand why the Mercenary Association and several eastern cities were organizing a mercenary competition this time. Instead of using individual competitions among mercenaries, they wanted to encircle and suppress the monsters.

It is obviously necessary to encircle and suppress the monsters before a large-scale spiritual tide breaks out.

Many people have their own opinions on the purpose of martial arts practice. Some people think that it is to improve personal cultivation and pursue the truth of martial arts. But in Jiang Hao's view, the most fundamental goal of martial arts practice should of course be to face and kill monsters.

Jiang Hao had already had a premonition about the tide of spirit beasts before, but he didn't expect it to happen much earlier than expected.

"The difficulty of changing the competition this time is much higher than before. I estimate that the risks and casualties will also increase. However, although it is dangerous, the rewards are also much richer than before."

Yang Wanli glanced at Jiang Hao and said, "In addition to the rewards given by the Mercenary Association, after the competition, our Nine Stars Association will also reward those with outstanding performance. By the way, there is one reward this time, and I feel it is definitely good for you.

Benefits."

"What is it?" Jiang Hao asked with interest after hearing this.

"The top five mercenary groups can enter the Spirit Cave once!" Yang Wanli said.

"Spirit Cave?"

"You don't know?" Yang Wanli asked unexpectedly.

Jiang Hao shook his head. His original strength and cultivation were weak. He had only joined a small mercenary group in the early years, so he knew very little about some things.

Although Yang Wanli was a little confused that Jiang Hao didn't understand such a common sense thing, he still patiently explained, "Spirit Cave is a place dedicated to storing spiritual crystals. You should know about the spiritual crystals, they are solidified crystals of spiritual energy.

The product is rich in extremely pure spiritual energy, which is different from monster meat. Although monster meat also contains a certain amount of spiritual energy, it has more impurities and the absorption efficiency is not high."

"Spiritual crystals are pure spiritual energy fossils that can be absorbed directly. It is of great benefit to the warrior's physical fitness and blood. In order to encourage and aggressively participate in the mercenary morale, the Mercenary Association stipulates that the winner will not be exempted from the

Restricted absorption of spiritual crystals!"

At this point, Yang Wanli added, "Spirit crystals are also divided into levels. The purer the spirit crystal, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy it contains. If you can rank in the top three this time, you will be rewarded with a first-level spiritual energy."

There is an unlimited supply of crystals. Four to five second-level spiritual crystals, six to ten third-level spiritual crystals..."

Jiang Hao understood when he said this. He had also heard of spiritual crystals. It was the most common spiritual crystal, and the price was around tens of thousands. He was willing to give out so many spiritual crystals in this competition. I'm afraid that

The total value has exceeded several hundred million.

Jiang Hao's mind was shaken. His overall strength has now reached a bottleneck. Even though his physical fitness is no worse than that of some ordinary warriors due to his physical training, in essence, he is older after all. The activity of his cells

His physical condition is still not comparable to that of those young people. If he can get the reward of this mercenary competition, it will definitely be of great benefit to his strength and cultivation.

Seeing Jiang Hao's excited expression, Yang Wanli said with a smile, "So this time is not only for us, but also for your own practice. You must go all out!"

Jiang Hao smiled bitterly, as if he didn't work hard enough.

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing Jiang Hao's statement, Yang Wanli finally showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

..........

Ten days later, Jiang Hao followed Yang Wanli and others by car to Liaocheng, where the Hundred Cities Competition was held.

When we went there, the group took a military helicopter.

This is Jiang Hao's first time riding a helicopter. Looking down from above, he can see the numerous buildings below. Liaocheng is a semi-military base unlike Yangcheng.

Down there were densely packed many military vehicles that had only been seen in movies and TV shows before, and there were even things like missile silos. Jiang Hao couldn't help but be amazed.

Sun Dingshan looked down, then at the people around him, and said with a smile, "Liaocheng is close to the frontier of the eastern front, but it is a heavy military base. How shocking it is."

Several people on the seats nodded.

At this time, Yang Wanli said in a somewhat disgraceful manner, "What's so shocking, it's just some larger armored toys!"

It’s not unreasonable for Yang Wanli to say this.

Since the outbreak of the Alien Beast Catastrophe, the power of modern weapons such as gunpowder has dropped sharply for unknown reasons.

Weapons such as artillery can still do some damage to monsters around level 20, but monsters of higher levels are basically useless. If this were not the case, humans would not have been so defeated in the first place.

A few minutes later, the helicopter landed slowly in the parking dam.

The cabin door opened, and Jiang Hao and the others followed Yang Wanli and others as they got off the plane.

As soon as they got off the plane in Liaocheng, people from the Mercenary Association came over to greet them. They were picked up by a military green armored vehicle.

Jiang Hao and the others got on the bus and were taken to a huge building with more than thirty floors.

Nowadays, such tall buildings are rare.

Several soldiers with live ammunition and guns at the door checked the identities of several people, and after confirming the identity information, they were taken into the building.

The person who received them was a female warrior wearing the uniform of the Mercenary Association. The woman looked less than thirty years old, but her strength was not weak. Jiang Hao noticed that there were four stars hanging on the warrior medal on her chest.

He turned out to be a warrior at the fourth level of Bronze Realm.

Bronze-level warriors are already among the first-class existences in Yangcheng. The number of bronze-level warriors in the entire Yangcheng does not exceed a hundred. Unexpectedly, bronze-level warriors are very common here.

The woman led several people to the elevator entrance, and then handed several room cards into Yang Wanli's hand.

"The room number is on the room card. Please take a rest after coming from afar. There is an open cafeteria on the sixth floor. You can dine in the restaurant with the room card. In addition, if you need anything, you can directly press the call in the room.

machine, or go to the lobby on the first floor to find a staff member."

"Thank you!" Yang Wanli took the room card and thanked the woman.

Sun Dingshan suddenly interrupted and asked, "When does the game start?"

"There are still some mercenary groups that haven't arrived yet. We should wait until everyone arrives before starting. But it will be three days at the latest."

"Okay!"

Jiang Hao received his room card, room 1202.
Chapter completed!
