Fourth Uncle

Chapter 1296 The True Local Tyrant

"Hiss!"

Seeing a shape-transforming pill appear in Chen Nan's hand.

Someone couldn't help but gasp.

"Shape-transforming pills are not cheap."

"I've heard that Qingyun Tower in Fengdu City used to sell them."

"One shape-transforming pill is worth five hundred thousand taels of gold!"

"Although the value isn't very high."

"But they are available but not for sale, and ordinary people can't buy them."

The scene was in an uproar.

Many people looked at Chen Nan with confusion in their eyes.

How did this person have a shape-transforming pill?

"Tuo Kai, Brother Chen should be qualified to join the game now, right?" Song Feiyang said with a proud look.

In fact, they also wanted to raise money for Chen Nan to join.

But they couldn't come up with so much money in a short time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have made Chen Nan so embarrassed before.

"Then let's do it!" Tuo Kai didn't expect Chen Nan to take out such a treasure.

But he was full of confidence.

He had a chance to win.

Then this shape-transforming pill and one million taels of gold would all be his!

"Lord Chen is indeed wealthy!" Tao Jun also smiled, determined to win this shape-transforming pill.

He had long heard that Qingyun Tower's headquarters sold shape-transforming pills.

But.

Even with the Tao family's influence, it was still difficult to buy them in a short time.

Because the conditions for buying a shape-transforming pill were very strict.

One had to spend twenty million taels of gold at Qingyun Tower every year to be eligible to buy a shape-transforming pill.

"However, the competition rules need to be changed." Tao Jun said, "This time, the first prize will be the shape-transforming pill, and the second prize will be one million taels of gold."

"Third prize, two hundred thousand taels of gold!"

"And an additional fourth prize."

"It's not possible for the first prize winner to get both the shape-transforming pill and one million taels of gold."

"This is too unfair!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

It was immediately recognized by many people.

Chen Nan also looked at Tao Jun with new respect.

He really didn't expect this guy to have such high emotional intelligence.

"Since Lord Chen is participating in our game for the first time, let me explain the competition rules!" Tao Jun continued, "The competition rules are very simple. I will order someone to release the wild beasts and demons we have raised later."

"Each person will have twenty arrows."

"Killing a wild beast earns one point."

"Killing a demon earns ten points."

"The person with the highest score will win the final victory!"

"Does Lord Chen have any questions?"

Chen Nan asked, "If several people shoot and kill a monster at the same time, how should the points be calculated?"

Not to mention killing a monster with one arrow.

Even killing ordinary wild beasts, no one dared to say they could kill it with one arrow.

And killing a monster is as difficult as reaching the sky.

Tao Jun said, "Hitting a monster earns one point, and a fatal wound earns ten points."

"Hitting an ordinary wild beast does not count for points."

Chen Nan nodded slightly.

These competition rules were very easy to understand.

He continued, "My archery skills are average, but my brother's archery skills are superb. Can he represent me in this battle?"

He really had no interest in competing with these people in archery.

And it happened that Guo Yu was skilled in archery.

Even if his cultivation was not as good as these people.

He would definitely be able to win.

"Of course, it's possible." Tao Jun said with a faint smile.

A mere ant at the seventh level of the Yin Gathering realm.

was not enough to catch his eye.

"Let Tao Jun be first, and you be second!" Chen Nan transmitted to Guo Yu.

The shape-transforming pill was refined by him.

He didn't care about it.

It was much better to give Tao Jun a favor.

Moreover.

Wasn't that one million taels of gold more attractive than a shape-transforming pill?

If he took this one million taels of gold to Qingyun Tower to buy medicinal materials.

He could refine at least ten shape-transforming pills.

"Okay!"

Guo Yu didn't know why Chen Nan arranged it this way.

But he knew that Chen Nan must have his own plans.

He took one step at a time and looked ten steps ahead.

He couldn't guess his thoughts at all.

The only thing he could do was follow Chen Nan's arrangements.

With his skills.

Whoever he wanted to be first, would be first.

After Guo Yu, Song Feiyang, Song Feipeng, and Song Feiheng each chose their bows and arrows.

Tao Jun directly gave the order: "Open the cages, release the beasts."

The people in the hunting ground opened the cages.

Dozens of hungry wolves and ten demons rushed out.

They rushed towards them.

They bared their teeth, their eyes filled with ferocity.

As if they wished they could tear these people to pieces and eat them.

And those people also drew their bows and began a hunt.

Of course.

Guo Yu was an exception.

He quickly headed towards the mountain ridge on the right.

He wanted to find a vantage point.

This way, he could overlook the entire situation.

Once he occupied the vantage point, he would control the victory of this competition.

This was valuable experience he gained from those unfamiliar memories in his mind.

As for Chen Nan, he went with Song Feilong to a wooden high platform, where they could avoid the attacks of the beasts.

Chen Nan casually asked, "Why aren't you participating in the hunt?"

Song Feilong chuckled, revealing a shy smile, "I don't like archery!"

Chen Nan rolled his eyes.

Good heavens!

So he was also a lecher!

He was puzzled!

Why were all the people around him so indecent?

"Is the Tuo family very powerful in Guangling Prefecture?" he changed the subject.

Song Feilong nodded solemnly: "The Tuo family has hereditary county magistrate status, so tell me if they are strong or not!"

"Hereditary county magistrate?" Chen Nan frowned: "I've only heard of hereditary titles, but I've never heard of hereditary county magistrates. Where did this come from?"

Song Feilong scratched his head: "I'm not too sure. It is said that ten thousand years ago, the Rebel Heaven Cult rebelled, and the ancestor of the Tuo family and the ancestor of the Tao family stepped forward at the same time."

"However, the ancestor of the Tao family had a greater reputation, so Emperor Fengdu rewarded their contributions and granted the Tao family the title of Duke."

"But a province can only have one Duke."

"So, they made an exception and let the ancestor of the Tuo family become the county magistrate."

"Since then, the Tuo family has firmly held the position of county magistrate."

"To put it bluntly, the influence of the Tuo family in Guangling Prefecture is no less than that of Duke Tao."

"Even Prefect Yuan and my father dare not easily offend the Tuo family."

Chen Nan did not doubt this point.

Although Duke Tao had the title of Duke.

It was just a title.

He had no real power in the imperial court.

Yuan Zun and Song Linhui were both sixth-grade Yin officers.

They were among the top existences in Guangling Prefecture.

But the Tuo family had hereditary county magistrate status.

They didn't need to look at their faces at all.

To put it simply.

The Tuo family were the local power brokers of Guangling Prefecture!

The situation here was much more complicated than Chen Nan had imagined.

Song Feilong couldn't help but ask, "Why is Brother Chen concerned about the Tuo family's affairs?"

Chen Nan smiled and said, "As a newcomer to Guangling Prefecture, don't I need to understand the local situation?"

Song Feilong chuckled and said no more.

Then he looked at the figures hunting in front of him.

Beasts fell one after another.

Their roars were tragic and desperate.

And those young masters enjoyed the mournful cries of these beasts before they died.

Not only was there no sadness.

They even enjoyed the thrill of their adrenaline soaring.

They liked this feeling of controlling life and death.

Although cruel.

But the strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive.

This was the eternal law of survival in heaven and earth.

Song Feilong suddenly said, "Brother Chen, you are a good person."

"Thank you for refining pills for us."

"No matter what, we owe you a favor!"

Chen Nan felt awkward.

I just dug a pit and buried you four brothers.

You great fool are thanking me?

Alas!

There's nothing more to say!

It's your own fault for being tricked by me!
