Night Owl Squad, Black Mane Lion King

"Since training is over, it's time for the lottery."

It was already the second day, and Chu Han naturally wouldn't forget this important matter.

He immediately opened the lottery panel and began to draw.

He prayed inwardly, hoping to draw something good.

The colorful turntable began to spin and finally stopped.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 Lower-grade Energy Stones.]

"10 more Lower-grade Energy Stones. I'll keep them for now."

These were essential for his future cultivation, and Chu Han felt the more the better.

Today's lottery was complete, and Chu Han decided to go out and hunt Exotic Beasts to further improve his strength.

He used a large rock to seal the cave entrance, preventing Zhao Feiyu from being disturbed and ensuring the safety of the cave.

After doing all this, he headed into the depths of the Red Wood Forest.

Not long after walking, Chu Han heard the sound of light footsteps and voices.

He hid behind a giant tree and peeked out.

He saw a martial artist squad approaching, and judging by their direction of travel, they were coming from the direction of the cave he had been in earlier.

In that cave, there were still five headless corpses.

Since they were coming from that direction, they were likely related to the Hunters.

Chu Han remained calm and listened to their conversation.

"Sigh, this is really bad luck. The captain's brother actually died, and that Black Mane Lion is nowhere to be found. It'll be hard to explain when we get back," one person said with a hint of fear.

"We all know Night Owl's temper, and he cared so much about his brother. If we don't bring back the bodies of his brother and the others this time, we'll probably be implicated," another martial artist said worriedly.

"There's no other way. The killer who could kill those people is definitely not weak. We might not be their match, and besides, the captain is most concerned about that matter right now. We have to rush back to help. If we delay, it'll be even worse..."

Chu Han heard this and his heart stirred.

These people were indeed from the Night Owl Squad, and they were looking for the people he had killed.

He hadn't expected that third-tier martial artist to be Night Owl's brother. This time, it was truly a fight to the death with the Night Owl Squad.

However, Chu Han was not afraid. One of the reasons he came out this time was to investigate the situation of the Night Owl Squad.

Moreover, with his current strength, he might not be without a fight.

Instead, he was very interested in the matter those people were talking about, so he quietly followed behind them.

They passed through a valley in the Red Wood Forest and arrived at a relatively open area. Several tents were set up here, and a group of martial artists were gathered, clearly the Night Owl Squad.

Chu Han hid not far away, observing the team.

The Night Owl Squad had more than twenty people in total, all martial artists.

The man at the head had a gloomy expression, and his eyes held a fierce glint, making him appear very dangerous at first glance. Judging by the aura emanating from him, he was a fourth-tier martial artist, likely Night Owl himself.

Beside him stood two third-tier martial artists, whose strength should not be underestimated.

Most of the remaining people were second-tier and first-tier martial artists.

The overall strength of this team was indeed very strong.

Furthermore, as a Hunter Squad, these people were stained with the blood of countless other martial artists, and their combat experience was strong.

At this moment, the returning members nervously stepped forward and reported the entire incident to Night Owl.

As Night Owl listened to the report, his face instantly turned grim, and an astonishing killing intent erupted from his body.

The killing intent permeated the air like a tangible substance, making the surrounding air become grim and cold.

Everyone in the Night Owl Squad knew how severe the consequences of Night Owl's anger would be, and they were all so scared that they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

The ones reporting felt like they were living through an eternity, cursing their bad luck for being assigned such a mission.

However, to everyone's surprise, Night Owl did not lash out on the spot. Instead, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The main business is more important. Let's handle that matter first, and then we'll settle the score with the killer!"

The members of the Night Owl Squad then breathed a sigh of relief, and those who had reported felt as if they had received a great pardon, their bodies drenched in sweat.

Not far away, Chu Han, who had been secretly watching, became even more curious about the "main business" they mentioned.

He wondered what kind of matter it was that could make Night Owl temporarily put aside his hatred for his brother's murder.

Soon, the Night Owl Squad set off.

Chu Han decided to follow them to investigate, so he cautiously trailed behind the team.

Relying on his exquisite movement techniques, he easily concealed his tracks without being discovered.

The group traveled all the way and finally arrived in front of a cave.

This cave was very spacious, more than ten meters high, and the entrance resembled the gaping maw of a giant beast, exuding a dangerous aura.

Chu Han followed the group into the cave. The interior was dark and damp.

He took the opportunity when others weren't paying attention to blend into the team, following at the rear and walking with them towards the depths of the cave.

The deeper they went, the darker the light became, and a faint scent of blood drifted in.

Just then, a violent roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the cave.

The sound, mixed with a trace of Origin Energy and immense anger, echoed throughout the entire cave, instantly turning the faces of many weaker martial artists deathly pale, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

"This sound, it's actually a Black Mane Lion, and its rank is definitely not low!"

Chu Han was unaffected by the roar and also realized that the Night Owl Squad's objective was to hunt a Black Mane Lion.

And judging by the situation, this Black Mane Lion was no ordinary beast, requiring so many people and such a grand display.

It was likely a 4th Rank Black Mane Lion King!

"This is going to be interesting," Chu Han's interest was piqued.

After proceeding a distance further, they finally saw the true form of the Black Mane Lion.

This Black Mane Lion was several times larger than the 3rd Rank Black Mane Lions Chu Han had encountered before. Its black mane had been replaced by black scales, making its defense even stronger.

Just one glance sent a powerful and ferocious aura surging towards them, making their breath catch. It was indeed a 4th Rank Black Mane Lion King!

Chu Han marveled inwardly. A 4th Rank Black Mane Lion King was even more formidable than he had imagined, no wonder the Night Owl Squad was so cautious.

However, with only one 4th Rank martial artist, Night Owl, and two 3rd Rank martial artists in their team, daring to hunt a 4th Rank Black Mane Lion King was normally an impossible feat. He wondered what other tricks Night Owl had prepared.

The Black Mane Lion King merely let out low growls, causing some of the weaker individuals to retreat, their eyes filled with fear.

"Don't be afraid, it just gave birth to cubs and its strength has greatly decreased. Act according to the plan!"

At this moment, Night Owl roared, stopping the fearful individuals from retreating.

And as Night Owl said, the Black Mane Lion King merely stood its ground, growling low, not immediately attacking to tear these humans to shreds. It was clearly hesitant at this moment.

Chu Han also noticed that its aura was somewhat unstable, not in its prime.

Night Owl and the other two 3rd Rank martial artists exchanged glances and began their actions.

They simultaneously took out a black sphere from their chests. The surface of the spheres flickered with electric light, exuding a dangerous aura.

As they pressed the buttons on the spheres, the spheres immediately crackled with electricity, as if containing boundless lightning energy ready to erupt at any moment.

"Is this the method they prepared? It seems the show is about to begin."

Chu Han's eyes gleamed, his anticipation for this fierce battle growing.
