During the twelve days that Zhang Xuezhou traveled through the world, the area explored by many people was no longer limited to the vicinity of Huli Port, but extended to a depth of more than two thousand miles, spanning an extremely vast region.

While hunting in groups involves the use of heavy trucks, searching is done using various lightweight means of transportation, with each group of more than ten people forming separate teams to conduct long-distance searches.

"That's where Bi Daye encountered Qimeng Haige and Zuo Teng!"

The convoy of heavy trucks departed from Huli Port and traveled for two days and one night, taking about thirty hours, before reaching its destination.

In the wireless communication device, a sense of urgency rose in the hearts of many.

Although this is just the location where the ferocious beast chased Chimon Hag, no beast should be taken lightly, especially since there might be a beast's den nearby.

If handled properly, the hunt will be a success; if handled poorly, it will result in a complete rout for the hunting party.

"If anything unexpected happens, Rihui, you take Committee Member Zhang and run!"

Ren Yisheng did not express any opinion, Changkong Luo made the arrangements as usual.

In this team, Zhang Xuezhou has the weakest sequence strength, but Zhang Xuezhou is also the most important member.

Treating and recuperating wounded is only the lightest task in Zhang Xuezhou's logistical work; matters involving forcibly saving lives and turning the tide of the battle are all related to the other side.

If anyone among them has the potential to recover from defeat, it undoubtedly requires Zhang Xuezhou to demonstrate his abilities.

"If you ask me, we should have brought Committee Member Ren with us, then we could have split into two teams," Li Qi said regretfully.

"We can't protect them!"

"Even Rihui's protection of Committee Member Zhang is a step behind!"

"I wonder where Zhou Xin went. He really should have gone to the old mansion!"

"With Zhou Xin, even if we suffer a crushing defeat, it won't be a one-sided affair; instead, we can mount a defensive counter-attack!"

After a brief, hushed discussion, Changkong Luo began urging Qimeng Haige on.

This forced Chimman Hagrid to jump out of the heavy truck and try to figure out his escape route and the beast's lair.

Aside from a few evenly matched individuals who can sustain their escape for several days, the normal escape distance is not very far. Even high- Sequence Holder usually maintain a distance of about 30 to 50 miles. If they encounter complex terrain, this distance will be even shorter.

Chimon Haig moved with lightning speed, clearly choosing the most rugged mountain paths rather than wide, passable areas when fleeing for his life.

"This mountain forest is strange, with jagged rocks, and snakes used to roam here. There are also many reptiles in the mountains, so please be careful. Don't end up getting bitten by snakes or insects instead of watching for ferocious beasts!"

Huli Port is a major port in the Qin-Meng region, and the surrounding area, spanning thousands of miles, has been thoroughly searched time and again.

Not only was Chimon Hagrid aware of this area, but many Scarlet Alliance State also had a general understanding of it.

When the beast tide riots occurred in Qinmeng, the true nature of this area became difficult to verify.

Chimon Haig wasn't sure if there were still a large number of snakes and insects lurking around, so he warned Zhang Xuezhou and the others before leaping up a small hill.

"First, locate the beast's whereabouts, then find a suitable area to engage it and lure it there!"

Changkong Luo followed behind Qimeng Haige and called out to the others again.

Not only was Zhang Xuezhou, the logistics officer, having difficulty keeping up, Ren Yisheng, who was skilled in mental combat techniques, also had limited mobility and could only wait in this area.

"The garrison at Rihui must be extra careful. If they encounter an insurmountable situation, they should drive away with their horns blaring."

Zhong Rang added a sentence.

In an instant, many committee members followed Chimon Haig, and began searching in the opposite direction from where Chimon Haig had fled.

"Looks like they don't take you seriously!"

Seeing everyone go off to search and disappear into the distance, Ren Yisheng murmured something under his breath.

The Technique Method are incredibly profound. Ren Yisheng can use his divine soul to investigate, Zhang Xuezhou possesses the ability to roam freely and fly, making his investigation skills even more superior to others.

Even if some of the people were skilled in reconnaissance and tracking, Ren Yisheng felt that their abilities would be far inferior to Zhang Xuezhou's.

With a ferocious beast at hand, it's hard to hide one's true intentions, but there's also an advantage to being inconspicuous. After a few seconds of thought, Ren Yisheng could only offer a sarcastic remark.

"I've been very well taken care of," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Do you want to go take a look?" Ren Yisheng asked.

"It'll be good to take a look!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded, but there was little relief on his face.

According to Chimon Hagrid's information, the beast pack includes winged tigers, which are likely skilled fliers.

The advantage of Technique Method lies in the fact that I have it and you don't. However, once you encounter someone of the same kind, the advantage becomes less apparent. After all, the Technique Method used by humans either imitates or borrows power, making it difficult to surpass those who are most directly proficient in such abilities.

For example, Zhang Xuezhou is skilled in cloud-flying, but he is still inferior to some bird-type demon kings. In fact, he is better at using cloud-based techniques than Technique Within the Clouds.

Zhang Xuezhou also found it difficult to judge whether his own flying ability exceeded that of this ferocious beast.

He exchanged a few words with Ren Yisheng, and as he passed Zhou Rihui to the side, he had already used the Cloud Soaring Technique to take off, leaping into the air dozens of feet high like a bird in a short time.

"Why does Xuezhou fly feel easier than walking?"

The art of cloud flight is not a mystery to most people. Ren Anran has practiced it, and Ren Yisheng, Zhang Manqian, and others have also come into contact with it.

If Ren Yisheng's cloud-flying technique is similar to high jump, and Ren Anran's cloud-flying technique is similar to gliding, then Zhang Xuezhou's cloud-flying technique is so skillful that it is beyond Ren Yisheng's imagination.

It's like comparing fancy footwork to a master of martial arts; there's no comparison whatsoever between their skill levels.

"Stay calm, you absolutely must stay calm! Once I enter the Eighth Sequence, there's a high probability I can also cause a stir!"

Ren Yisheng always felt that he was firmly pushing his mental limits, but Zhang Xuezhou would occasionally pull off a move that made Ren Yisheng so envious that he wanted to vomit blood.

He watched Zhang Xuezhou disappear into the sky, and felt that even if he stepped into the Eighth Sequence and could easily float and fly, his performance would probably be far inferior to Zhang Xuezhou's.

"Ancient records don't mention any ascetic practitioners skilled in flying. Even if Hongku had an influence, it couldn't have provided such a boost. How exactly did he train?"

Ren Yisheng felt a persistent headache, and only managed a weak smile when Zhou Hui came to inquire about Zhang Xuezhou's safety after completing his patrol.

"He just woke up and dragged himself here to hunt ferocious beasts. He's still in the adjustment period, so we don't need to worry about him!" Ren Yisheng said.

"We need to be careful. If there's an unavoidable risk, we'll run with him," Zhou Rihui warned. "Zhao Tianhua has been taken to work by them. I can't hold off the two of you from the beast attacking by myself."

"Okay," Ren Yisheng nodded in agreement.

"It's a pity that Professor Zhang's emetics aren't effective against ferocious beasts with resistance levels or those in the Seventh Sequence," Zhou Rihui said. "If we could make ferocious beasts vomit, hunting them alive would be much easier!"

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice!

Ren Yisheng sighed softly.

The pills that stimulated the generation of Law Power were used as emetics, a side effect that could even be considered poison, even though Ren Yisheng had suffered greatly from them.

The only regret is that there are limits to the medicinal materials available, and Zhang Xuezhou, despite possessing exceptional pharmaceutical skills, finds it difficult to utilize them or hunt them easily through unorthodox methods.

He exchanged a few words with Zhou Rihui in a low voice, then suddenly his ears perked up.

In the dim light, Ren Yisheng felt that the sound of a tiger roaring in the mountains echoed continuously from afar, and there seemed to be strange tiger roars mixed in.

The ferocious tigers that Chimon Haig and Zuo Teng mentioned do indeed inhabit this area, and their numbers far exceed just one or two.
