The Hunt Begins
On the morning of October 2nd.
After emerging from the Dimensional Space, it was already around six or seven in the morning, and the east was already brightly lit.
After practicing swordsmanship all night, Luo Zhe didn't feel tired at all, but the sweat from practicing had already soaked through his clothes.
Before Luo Zhe could even change into clean clothes, he heard Shi Jiang shouting from outside, "Luo Zhe, aren't you ready yet? We're leaving at eight o'clock!"
"Hey, I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes, I'll be right out." Luo Zhe called out and quickly grabbed his change of clothes and rushed into the bathroom.
Hearing this from outside, Shi Jiang was stunned. "Does Luo Zhe have OCD? Why is he taking a shower so early in the morning?"
After rinsing off, he changed into his Battle Suit.
Today is an even-numbered day, Luo Zhe needs to join the other trainees to travel to a city in the Wilderness Zone about 300 kilometers away from the Training Camp — City 1001. This number was personally assigned by 'Hong', the founder of Hongning Base City, and all trainees in the Elite Training Camp must hunt monsters in this city.
Furthermore, a dedicated Satellite will monitor this City 1001.
There are strict rules in the Training Camp: 1. Anyone who trades monsters without permission, gives monster materials to other students, or helps other academies increase their battle points will be expelled!
2. Anyone who kills another student in a fight will be executed on the spot upon discovery!
Shi Jiang was also one of the students who went to the Wilderness Zone to hunt monsters on even-numbered days. Therefore, Yang Hui specifically instructed Shi Jiang to explain to Luo Zhe the key points to pay attention to in City 1001 on the way.
City 1001 is located at the crossroads of Asia and Europe. Due to the change in geographical environment, the monsters living in this area are very different from those in the heart of Huaxia Nation.
Moreover, while this City 1001 is not as dangerous as the top-ranked Wilderness City, the number and scale of monsters are also far smaller.
However, in the heart of the city, there also live a considerable number of Lord-level Monster. Among them, the most famous and also the most deadly is the high-ranking Lord-level Monster ' Black Widow ' who lives in the very center of the city!
The Black Widow spider is a monstrous spider known for its venom. Once poisoned, even Advanced War God of equal rank would die within minutes!
With current medical technology on Earth, it is not yet possible to completely remove this toxin.
Furthermore, as a spider-like monster, the Black Widow spider also spins webs. Although they are not as strong as those of another spider-like monster, the ' Grice Spider ', the Black Widow spider's webs are extremely sticky. Once prey is even slightly stained with them, it is very difficult for them to escape. In addition, their webs also contain terrible toxins.
Therefore, unless one is a being Beyond War God of War, even Advanced War God wouldn't consider going after the Black Widow.
Of course, according to Shi Jiang, the high-ranking lords in City 1001 generally do not leave their territories easily. Therefore, as long as Luo Zhe does not foolishly go to the city's central area, he should not have to worry about encountering this high-ranking Lord Level Black Widow.
After entering City 1001, Luo Zhe and Shi Jiang parted ways.
After all, with Shi Jiang's strength, he naturally wouldn't bother with trouble for those low-level or Intermediate Beast General. His main targets were the high-level Beast General Level who only had a small number of monster minions with them.
After all, a high-level beast general's battle points are ten times that of a Intermediate Beast General!
However, fortunately, Luo Zhe's strength has greatly improved, so if he encounters those lone high-level beast generals, he is confident that he can go up and fight them.
Moreover, thanks to Satellite surveillance, there's no need to worry about anyone daring to shoot him in the back, which is strictly forbidden in the Training Camp. Therefore, Luo Zhe can fight boldly, only needing to be wary of threats from the beast horde.
Carefully navigating the alleyways, Luo Zhe had already memorized the entire map of City 1001 on his way here, especially the territories of the high-ranking lords.
Within this area of about ten square kilometers, only three low-level Lord-level Monster reside: the deer-like monster ' Mountain-Bearing Deer ', the pig-like monster ' Fire-Scaled Trident Boar ', and the sheep-like monster ' Blade-Edged Goat ', each commanding a large horde of monsters.
The area where Luo Zhe is currently located belongs to the territory of the Elementary Lord ' Mountain-Bearing Deer ', which has three high-level Beast General Level subordinates. Only one of them is Mountain-Bearing Deer, while the other two are other deer-like monsters called ' Elk-Antler Deer '.
Moreover, since the Mountain-Bearing Deer Monster is a relatively docile beast, it rarely takes the initiative. Apart from its forehooves, which are quite lethal, only its razor-sharp antlers can inflict fatal wounds on its enemies.
Normally, Lord Mountain-Bearing Deer would lazily sunbathe in the large square of Moonlight Community, only getting up occasionally to move around, but rarely leaving the Moonlight Community. Tasks like foraging for food were all left to his subordinates.
Therefore, monsters from other areas often wander into this area to hunt, resulting in a high mobility of monsters and a relatively high probability of encountering Beast General Level monsters.
However, since the Mountain-Bearing Deer monsters are mostly group creatures, lone Beast General Level Mountain-Bearing Deer are rare, and their activity areas are not fixed. When hunting a lone Beast General Level monster, one is very likely to suddenly encounter a large group of Mountain-Bearing Deer. Therefore, even though they know that the Mountain-Bearing Deer are easy targets, not many students will set their sights on them.
"Um?"
Luo Zhe suddenly and cleverly hid in a dark corner, cautiously peeking out to look around.
Ahead lay a Mountain-Bearing Deer, its back drooping like a small hill, lying helplessly in a pool of blood. Beside it Blade-Edged Goat was greedily devouring the Mountain-Bearing Deer's two tender, plump humps.
"Judging from the horns of that Blade-Edged Goat, it seems to be at the Elementary Beast General Level." Luo Zhe secretly discerned the characteristics of the two Blade-Edged Goat. "Even Blade-Edged Goat at the level of Junior Beast General can run rampant in the area where the Mountain-Bearing Deer herd lives. It seems that the reputation of the Mountain-Bearing Deer as easy to bully is not an exaggeration."
After looking around and finding no other monsters, Luo Zhe slowly raised the Blood Shadow Battle Blade in his hand. "Then today, I'll start with these two Blade-Edged Goat!"
Luo Zhe pushed off with his feet, unleashing his full speed. 2.8 times the normal force was transmitted to the ground through his feet, giving Luo Zhe a powerful recoil energy. The distance of tens of meters between him and the Blade-Edged Goat was instantly closed, and the next moment, they clashed.
The War Blade in his hand, accelerated by three layers of hidden force, reached the throats of the two Blade-Edged Goat Blade-Edged Goat as Luo Zhe charged towards them. "Pfft, pfft~" The sound of two sharp weapons slicing through flesh rang out.
One second the Blade-Edged Goat was gnawing on flesh and blood, and the next second it was decapitated. Its two heads flew into the air, and the headless carcass fell heavily to the ground, the blood quickly staining the ground red.
They quickly cut off the horns of the two Blade-Edged Goat and the two front hooves of the Mountain-Bearing Deer that had not yet been eaten, then identified the road and disappeared into an alley again.
As for the three monster corpses lying on the ground, there's no need to pay them any attention; they'll soon turn into nothing but bones anyway.
