Hu Shu watched the busy figures moving about, feeling both gratified and worried. The path to finding the ancient Divine Artifacts and dealing with the ferocious beasts was filled with the unknown. Could they really succeed? At that moment, the Human Race scouts responsible for gathering information hurried over, excitement written across their faces, as though they had brought back an important clue. Hu Shu quickly went to meet them. A new challenge and opportunity were about to present themselves before the Human Race.
The newcomer panted heavily, unable to suppress his excitement. "Clan Leader, we found some strange traces in a hidden valley. They look like they were left behind by a powerful magical treasure—perhaps they're connected to an ancient Divine Artifact!" Hu Shu's eyes lit up, and he immediately decided to gather everyone for discussion.
In the Human Race council hall atop Shouyang Mountain, the atmosphere was grave. Hu Shu stood in the center of the hall and swept his gaze over the crowd. "Although we drove back the enemy in this battle, we suffered heavy losses as well. Relying only on the Invincible Domain System and the occasional aid of the Mysterious Rogue Cultivator is not a long-term solution. We must become stronger if the Human Race is to gain a foothold in this Primordial World." Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with resolve.
"I have decided to further tap into the potential of the Invincible Domain System. At the same time, we must strengthen the Human Race's own cultivation and development." Hu Shu's gaze passed over the crowd. "Among the Human Race, there are quite a few with exceptional talent. I intend to organize you into an elite squad to explore more dangerous places and seek opportunities to increase our strength."
A stir ran through the crowd, and many showed eager expressions. At that moment, a young member of the Human Race stepped forward and shouted, "Clan Leader, I am willing to join the elite squad! I want to contribute to the strength of our Human Race!" Several others immediately answered his call, willing to follow in Hu Shu's footsteps.
A warm feeling rose within Hu Shu as he looked at these faces brimming with vigor and fighting spirit. "This mission will be extremely dangerous, so you must prepare yourselves thoroughly. You will need not only great strength, but also unshakable will." Hu Shu then began selecting members for the elite squad. Based on everyone's cultivation, talent, and performance in battle, he eventually finalized the roster.
The selected members wore proud expressions. They knew this was both Hu Shu's trust in them and the mission bestowed upon them by the Human Race. Hu Shu brought the elite squad to an open area and began their initial training.
"When exploring unknown places, teamwork is crucial. You must trust one another and coordinate with each other if you are to handle all manner of unexpected situations." As Hu Shu spoke, he demonstrated several simple coordination techniques. The elite squad members studied attentively, constantly adjusting their positions and methods of cooperation.
During the training, Hu Shu noticed that some members still lacked coordination. He patiently instructed them, "You, when attacking, remember to leave room for your teammates to defend. And you, when defending, keep an eye on your teammates' condition at all times and provide support promptly." After a round of training, the members gradually grew more proficient in working together.
At the same time, Hu Shu did not neglect the Human Race's other affairs. He arranged for one group to continue searching for clues about the ancient Divine Artifacts, while another intensified their cultivation to raise their strength against the threat of ferocious beasts that could appear at any moment.
Time quietly passed amid the intense training and preparations. The Human Race scouts sent out for information gradually brought back several vague clues about the Misty Mountain Range. It was said that the Misty Mountain Range concealed many unknown secrets, perhaps even the key to increasing the Human Race's strength.
After learning this news, Hu Shu fell into deep thought. The Misty Mountain Range was fraught with danger. If they went there rashly, the elite squad could very well meet with disaster. Yet this was also a rare opportunity for the Human Race to grow stronger. If they missed it, the Future of the Human Race might become even more difficult.
After careful consideration, Hu Shu decided that the elite squad should make thorough preparations first and set out for the Misty Mountain Range once the time was right. He told them, "The Future of the Human Race rests upon your shoulders. When you go to the Misty Mountain Range, you must be cautious. If you encounter danger, do not act recklessly. Your safety comes first." The elite squad answered in unison, "Yes! Rest assured, Clan Leader, we will not fail our mission!"
As the departure date drew near, the elite squad trained with ever greater diligence. They conducted combat drills in the forests of Shouyang Mountain, simulating all kinds of dangerous situations. Hu Shu observed carefully from the side, occasionally pointing out their shortcomings.
"Pay attention! When facing multiple enemies, you must form an effective encirclement. Do not fight separately!" Hu Shu shouted. The elite squad members swiftly adjusted their tactics and gradually mastered the techniques for dealing with groups of enemies.
During breaks in training, Hu Shu also spoke with the Mysterious Rogue Cultivator, discussing how to better improve the elite squad's strength. The Mysterious Rogue Cultivator suggested, "You can incorporate some special movement techniques into their training to increase their agility, allowing them to evade quickly when danger strikes." Hu Shu thought it was an excellent idea and immediately had the elite squad members learn them.
Day by day, the elite squad's strength improved significantly. Their coordination became increasingly seamless, and they wielded their various combat techniques with greater mastery. Watching the elite squad grow, Hu Shu felt somewhat relieved.
At last, the day of departure arrived. The morning sun shone upon Shouyang Mountain, draping the land in a layer of golden radiance. The elite squad members stood before everyone in light equipment, weapons in hand, full of energy and spirit.
Hu Shu stepped forward, looked each member in the eye, and said solemnly, "You are about to embark on an unknown journey, and the road ahead is filled with peril. But I believe you will find the key to increasing the Human Race's strength and truly protect the Human Race in the crises to come. The hope of the Human Race lies in your hands!"
The elite squad members clenched their fists, their eyes filled with unwavering conviction. They turned around and marched with firm steps toward the Misty Mountain Range. The Human Race watched their receding backs and silently prayed that they would return safely and bring new hope to the Human Race.
At that moment, a gentle breeze swept across Shouyang Mountain, making the leaves rustle as though they were telling of the Human Race's hopes for the future. Hu Shu gazed in the direction the elite squad had departed, filled with both concern for them and expectation. He knew that the Future of the Human Race depended on this.
