539: Chapter 539 "Treasure Hunt"

Chapter 539 "Treasure Hunt"

"So, who are you?" Li Shi Ying didn't feel flattered even though the old man praised her, since she was able to arrive earlier than the other participants.1

Of course she would be able to arrive earlier, and in such a good condition. She had so many sacred beasts with her! It would be a strange thing if she was still wounded with three sacred beasts with her.

"Okay, you don't need to know who am I but since you arrived first, I will give you a special guidance. The other participants won't even know about this information. They have to find it by themselves." The old man refused to disclose his identity to Li Shi Ying, even though the girl asked for it."

"Fine, I don't mind." Li Shi Ying took a deep breath as she maintained her cool and lofty attitude. She just copied how a female lead in most novels acted, since she had to have a strong aura to impress this old man.

She was sure this old man wasn't a mere normal old man. He must be someone important.

"Take this scroll. The next test will be hunting for treasure. There are 7 items you have to find and there are only a few of these items here, so not all participants would be able to get it." The old man took out a yellowish scroll and gave it to Li Shi Ying as he explained.

"Treasure…as to how I will get it, it's up to me right?" Li Shi Ying had guessed that the next test won't be as simple as finding these so-called treasures. In the process, the participants would be tested in many aspects for sure!

"Yes, it's up to you, and one more piece of information. The academy with the most members succeeding the mission will be able to participate in the final. There will only be 8 academies at most from more than 100 academies. So you better ensure not only you succeed your mission, your other team members in other islands have to succeed too."

The old man generously gave Li Shi Ying more information that other participants wouldn't know at all. Maybe some already realized that they were being tested now, but they don't know what criteria they needed so their academy wouldn't be eliminated.

"Thank you for the information, is there any time limit for this test?" Li Shi Ying politely bowed to the old man as she asked the last thing she needed to know. Time limit. She bet that most people wouldn't succeed because of the time limit.

"Three days. After three days, the staff from the one holding the tournament would come to each island to pick up the participants. Oh, right, and killing other participants is allowed so be careful girl."

The old man gave Li Shi Ying one last warning before he disappeared into thin air, leaving Li Shi Ying alone again in the quiet beach.

"You hear that, Jiu Wei?" Li Shi Ying asked Jiu Wei who was listening from inside the contracted space.

"Yes mistress, it seems that we have to move soon." Jiu Wei had a feeling that the hunting treasure session won't be as simple as finding the certain items. There must be a test participants need to face before getting each item.

This would take a long time!

"I think so. We better start right away, but you see…can you call Long Ao Zhen and ask him when he will arrive here? I'm sure he would be alright to collect these items by himself, but I'm thinking whether to wait for him or just go now."

Li Shi Ying felt rather worried for Long Ao Zhen since she had a feeling the man must be already coming to her place. He should just go to the nearest island from his place but he choose to go to her place instead!

Now she could see how much this man treasured her.

"I called his highness while mistress was talking with the old man. He said he will be here at 8 a.m, so I suggest we go now. We can't wait for 2 hours, right?" Jiu Wei suggested Li Shi Ying to go now since they had an opportunity to do so.

Indeed, they had an advantage since they got the scroll for free and in an easy way, whereas with the other participants, she bet that the others had to find the scroll first before they could find the other items needed.

Jiu Wei was right, she had to go now.

"Alright let's find the first item. It's…a golden leaf?" Li Shi Ying looked at the scroll and couldn't help but frown. There was a small painting next to the item name. It was a leaf in a golden color.

"Golden leaf. I think we have to go to the forest first." Jiu Wei directed Li Shi Ying to go to the forest. The girl quickly disappeared behind the thick trees in the forest, not knowing that right after she was gone, another participant showed up at the beach.

It was actually someone she knew!

Forest.

"So where is this golden leaf..the scroll didn't say anything about it…could it be we're being tested of our knowledge about herbs?" Li Shi Ying looked around as well as dispatching her beasts to look for a golden leaf but haven't found one so far.

Where was this leaf?!
