Hunter Squad

"Finally, it's dead."

Chu Han rubbed his reddened fist and let out a sigh of relief.

Then he shouted to the hundreds of meters away, "It's done, come over!"

A few seconds later, Zhao Feiyu came sprinting over.

When he saw the devastated forest and the Black Mane Lion with blood flowing from its seven orifices, his face was filled with shock.

Especially when he saw Chu Han sitting on the Black Mane Lion, his heart was even more astonished.

"After fighting a 3rd Rank Black Mane Lion, Brother Han wasn't even injured. Just how strong is he?"

He didn't even have the courage to participate in battles of this level. Even if he watched from nearby, he could still be accidentally injured.

Yet Chu Han still looked as calm and composed as ever, not having encountered any significant trouble on the surface.

Zhao Feiyu dared not think further; the more he thought, the greater the gap between him and Chu Han he discovered.

Immediately, his gaze fell greedily on the Black Mane Lion's corpse, and he couldn't look away.

"Brother Han, you're my real brother! Hahaha, you even got the Black Mane Lion's blood. My strength will definitely increase by a large margin!"

Zhao Feiyu was so excited that he almost recognized Chu Han as his sworn father on the spot.

He quickly took out the container to collect the Black Mane Lion's blood.

Before long, the remaining space in the container was filled with the Black Mane Lion's blood.

"Blood collection complete, I can start cultivating tonight!"

Zhao Feiyu excitedly put away the container with his space bracelet. The Black Mane Lion's corpse was still collected by Chu Han, and then the two returned to the mountain cave they had found earlier.

After returning to the cave, Zhao Feiyu took out the container filled with lion blood and placed it on the ground.

Then he took out a bottle of purple potion from his space bracelet and poured it all into the container.

The purple potion mixed with the lion blood and immediately produced a violent reaction.

The lion blood in the container began to boil, constantly bubbling and making "gurgling" sounds.

Soon, the entire cave was filled with red mist, the mist filled with a bloody smell.

Zhao Feiyu explained, "The blood of lion-type Exotic Beasts is the base material. Only by mixing it with the special potion from my family can it exert its effect. This potion can purify the medicinal properties in the blood, finally turning it into a great tonic."

Chu Han looked inside the container upon hearing this. The originally full blood was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a dark red blood plasma.

But the energy contained within was becoming more and more refined, making even him feel a bit tempted.

He wondered if he could also use this blood plasma for cultivation.

Zhao Feiyu saw Chu Han's thoughts and chuckled, "Brother Han, this specially made lion blood potion can only be used by combining my talent and cultivation method. Ordinary people simply cannot absorb the violent medicinal power within."

"Maybe I can absorb it," Chu Han said with a smile.

He had once absorbed the blood of a Red Scale Python and the energy from a Black Blood Stone simultaneously, so perhaps he could absorb this potion as well.

Zhao Feiyu gave a wry smile, "Brother Han, if you want to try, you can, but don't blame me for not warning you, it will definitely be an incredibly painful experience."

Even with his thorough preparation, he would still endure a certain degree of pain while absorbing it, let alone Chu Han.

Chu Han shook his head, not changing his mind, and felt a hint of anticipation for the gradually condensing lion blood potion in the container.

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the cave.

Chu Han's brow furrowed instantly, and he quickly warned, "Someone's coming."

If he hadn't been focusing his attention on the container the whole time, he wouldn't have noticed these footsteps until now.

At this moment, the footsteps had already reached the cave entrance, blocking Chu Han and Zhao Feiyu inside.

Zhao Feiyu was also greatly alarmed. He didn't want to be disturbed at this crucial moment.

Soon, several figures appeared before the two.

The aura of these people was strong, with the weakest being Tier 2 martial artists, and the strongest being a 3rd Rank martial artist!

With the firelight inside the cave, Chu Han could also see these people clearly.

It was a team of 5 people, all well-equipped and holding weapons, appearing to be experienced martial artists.

In the wilderness, such small teams of martial artists were very common, usually teams hunting Exotic Beasts.

However, this team that appeared before them was clearly not friendly.

And in the wilderness, with no legal or moral restrictions, mutual hunting among martial artists was very common.

Even if one obtained a treasure, they might not be able to bring it out of the wilderness; a large part of the reason was hunting by their own kind.

"Boss, the last trace of the Black Mane Lion's aura disappeared here. They must know something!"

At this moment, one martial artist said to the leader.

As he spoke, he cast a malicious glance at Chu Han and Zhao Feiyu.

The leader nodded and also looked at the two, disdainfully saying, "One is a 1st Rank martial artist, and the other is just a Quasi-Martial Artist. They're probably both students, right? They really have guts to dare come into the wilderness."

Another person immediately chimed in, "Boss, even if they have nothing to do with the Black Mane Lion, judging by their appearance, they must have some treasures on them. We can't let them go."

"Not bad, these two are quite strange. We should interrogate them first."

These people were loudly discussing Chu Han and the other person, as if they were talking about a piece of merchandise, completely disregarding the two of them.

Zhao Feiyu, unable to stand it any longer, questioned, "Who are you people? How dare you barge into someone's cave without a word?"

The people opposite them burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Kid, it seems you haven't grasped your situation. Do you think this is a base city?"

"Are you Hunters?"

At this moment, Chu Han asked slowly.

The leader glanced at Chu Han, a hint of mockery on his lips. "It seems you're smarter than him. Since you know our identities, you should know what your end will be. Cooperate with us obediently, and I'll make your deaths easier."

Hearing this, a killing intent flashed in Chu Han's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Zhao Feiyu, on the side, was becoming agitated, his heart pounding uncontrollably, ready to fight at any moment.

Since the other party was a Hunter, a fight to the death was unavoidable.

Although Hunters were also martial artists active in the wilderness, they were different from ordinary martial artists who only hunted Exotic Beasts or sought treasures. Hunters preferred to directly ambush and kill other martial artists to obtain their treasures, martial skills, materials, and money.

Hunter Squads were notorious existences, wanted by the authorities and unwelcome by other martial artists.

Therefore, encountering Hunters in the wild left only one possibility: combat.

Moreover, one could receive a bounty from the authorities by bringing back the heads of slain Hunters.

At this moment, the leader seemed to have run out of patience and said loudly, "We are pursuing a 3rd Rank Black Mane Lion. Its aura disappeared around here. Have you two seen the Black Mane Lion?"

Chu Han pretended to be scared and said, "Black Mane Lion? Isn't that a 3rd Rank Exotic Beast? If we saw it, we wouldn't have survived to tell the tale."

In his heart, he thought that these people were the ones who had wounded the Black Mane Lion.

Since these people could wound a Black Mane Lion, they must possess special means. Chu Han dared not be careless.

"Hmph, you'd better not be lying to me."

The leader hadn't expected much from Chu Han and the other person anyway, so he didn't ask further.

Then, his gaze swept past Chu Han and the other person, landing on the container behind Zhao Feiyu.

"What is this inside? Such pure energy!"

Saying this, he pushed Chu Han aside and went to examine the container. The others followed.

"Boss, this container seems to hold the blood of some kind of Exotic Beast. It looks very valuable!"

"Yeah, this blood is definitely worth a fortune. We've hit the jackpot this time."

"Wait, how did they bring this container into the wilderness? Do they have space equipment?"

As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned. The leader's eyes widened with greed as he stared at Chu Han and the other person.

His voice changed, filled with avarice: "You have space equipment? Hand it over quickly!"

"Dream on!"

Zhao Feiyu stopped pretending. He reached out and touched the container, and the entire container vanished from in front of him.

"You're asking for death! So the space equipment is on you!"

Instantly, everyone moved quickly towards Zhao Feiyu, leaving Chu Han aside.

"Hand it over quickly!"

The leader even grabbed Zhao Feiyu by the neck. The power of a 3rd Rank martial artist erupted, and Zhao Feiyu had no chance to resist.

But the next moment, he felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from behind him, followed by a piercing pain that exploded within his body.

"Bang!"

A rain of blood splattered onto the Hunter leader, and a huge bloody hole appeared in his chest.

He then fell down, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"One down, now it's your turn."

Chu Han's sneak attack was successful. He looked menacingly at the others.
