Little Tu Mountain.
Following the directions on the map, Jiang Li carried the sleeping girl on his back to the foot of the mountain.
The words "Donghai Training Camp" were written on a large earth-colored boulder. Ahead lay an open square and a path up the mountain.
At that moment, nearly a hundred high school students had gathered beside an armored bus in the square.
"Why haven't we started? We've been waiting over an hour!"
"I heard we're still missing one person. Apparently, he crossed the wilderness alone."
"Crossed the wilderness alone? What's he trying to prove? There was a bus, and he chose to trek through the wilderness."
"Seriously, what kind of person makes everyone wait for him?"
The students grumbled together, plainly unhappy.
Standing before them was a middle-aged man in a blue-green martial arts uniform.
"Instructor Zhao, one hundred and nine of the hundred and ten have arrived. Only Jiang Li from Beihe City is missing."
A young instructor frowned. "I suspect Jiang Li may have run into a Mutant Beast. Whether he'll make it here alive is another question."
"He chose to cross the wilderness himself. Out there, his fate is in his own hands."
Zhao Kaijun checked the time. "Ten minutes until the assessment. If Jiang Li doesn't arrive, he fails."
As they spoke, Zhao Kaijun suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.
A huge figure was charging toward them at tremendous speed.
"A Mutant Beast!?"
Zhao Kaijun's expression changed sharply. "Quick! Protect the students!"
He strode forward, ready to intercept the massive figure.
Boom!
But the next moment, it landed on the square and stopped.
The tremendous noise startled everyone.
Only then did Zhao Kaijun see that it was a Sixth Grade Red Scale Blood Tiger. It was clearly already dead.
