A Complete Mess

"These ferocious beasts have incredibly thick layers of resistance!"

Zhang Xuezhou froze the ferocious tiger for only two seconds.

Wang Haoran also seized this opportunity.

The two quickly ran away, while behind them the roar of a tiger shook the mountains and forests, followed by frantic charging, smashing, and fighting.

Seeing the ferocious tiger go berserk and descend into chaotic, disorderly counterattack, Wang Haoran couldn't help but sigh with regret.

The flying blade was aimed at the tiger's eyes, which were its weakest and most vulnerable point. However, Wang Haoran to break through the eye failed. He could feel that his flying blade had cut the tiger's eyes, but it had not penetrated deep into the eyeball. He was then bounced away by the beast's resistance layer.

"We can embed the crystal we obtained in the Thousand Islands Alliance, and then attack like Nagos. That way, we won't have to worry about not being able to break through the resistance layer," Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed.

"I can't afford it!"

Wang Haoran shouted.

Whether it's his previous 'Martial Cry' or Wang Haoran's unnamed flying blade, both are meticulously crafted genetic weapons, and Wang Haoran needs to constantly integrate with them to develop a feel for them.

The financial resources spent on genetic weapons are only one aspect; the key issue is that it wasn't easy for Wang Haoran to hone his feel for genetic weapons, and he also couldn't train his skills with disposable weapons, making it difficult for him to use them effectively.

"It's not worth it to blow up the ferocious beast!" Wang Haoran exclaimed.

"It's very difficult to strike the right balance!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded with a similarly enthusiastic shout.

Hunting ferocious beasts is necessary, but controlling the situation to avoid killing them is extremely difficult.

Either the hunter is easily injured or even killed, or the ferocious beast is killed and all the hunter loses everything. If it takes years of painstaking effort to find the target ferocious beast, and then the beast dies because the concentrated fire is too fierce, such a disparity is enough to drive a person crazy.

This is a dilemma, and there are even further challenges, such as how to transport the ferocious beast out of Qinmeng while maintaining its vitality until it is sent to the laboratory.

Many problems have been troubling the Sequence Holder.

Zhang Xuezhou and Wang Haoran discussed that breaking through the resistance layer was only a small part of hunting ferocious beasts.

"We need to add a striker in the future," Wang Haoran said.

Qin Meng's hunt could not satisfy the needs of many high- Sequence Holder in one go, and Wang Haoran did not expect to find the ferocious beast he needed this time either. The appearance of the ferocious beasts in front of him was completely unrelated to his needs.

Even if it wasn't for his own sake, Wang Haoran felt that coming to Qinmeng to hunt ferocious beasts in the future was inevitable.

For example, people like Zhang Manqian will most likely seek out the Seventh Sequence in the future, and there will inevitably be corresponding needs.

This need also necessitates the formation of new hunting groups, as it is impossible to rely on the elderly Sequence Holder of the Twilight Mansion who are too old and unable to continue hunting.

"Changkong Yinghao and Changkong Kong Yinglian should be alright," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"They're no good," Wang Haoran said, shaking his head repeatedly.

"How?"

"They either don't have the chance to break into the Seventh Sequence, or they can use the extract from the Changkong Luo Lan beast that Chang Kongluo used to possess. The Changkong Household has never lacked such beast materials; they simply can't enter the Seventh Sequence because of their own insufficient abilities. They barely managed to come to Qin Meng this time."

"That would be troublesome!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded loudly.

Among the relatively young high-sequence group, Changkong Yinghao and Changkong Yinglian are undoubtedly the most powerful strikers.

If we exclude these two people, finding another target to tackle will undoubtedly be extremely difficult.

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng excel at control, while Zhou Rihui excels at defense. Wang Haoran has entered the Sixth Sequence, is not enough to break through the resistance layer of the ferocious beasts, and Li Yingbo and others are undoubtedly lacking in many more areas.

If Zhang Xuezhou were to select from Sixth Sequence in other provinces and cities, he felt there would be very few who would meet his standards.

"Zhao Tianhua isn't old enough to qualify for an old mansion, and your relationship with him seems fairly reliable. Could you ask him to come and help out for the next couple of years?" Wang Haoran asked.

"He?"

Zhao Tianhua undoubtedly possesses various strengths. Since the other party is not yet at the dangerous threshold of ninety years old, there is no need to worry about him losing control at some point after joining the group, and there is no need to be on guard or be wary.

This is also one of the few military-type regional administrators in the Scarlet Alliance State. Zhao Tianhua is physically strong and his physical abilities far exceed those Sequence Holder civil officials like Changkong Luo who are more capable and ambitious.

I'll talk to him when I have time!

Li Yingbo, Zhu Liangping, Song Bu'er, Qin Wenhan, and others either haven't reached the Sixth Sequence, or their current needs are insufficient, or they are too busy with committee matters to come to Qinmeng for hunting. Changkong Yinghao and Changkong Kong Yinglian, given that they possess the extract of ferocious beasts, are unlikely to want to come to Qinmeng for such trouble. Furthermore, many of the Sixth Sequence holders are quite old, and some have been pampered for years, making it difficult for them to hunt in Qinmeng for an extended period.

After comparing the options, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Zhao Tianhua was indeed the only suitable candidate at the moment.

"If this hunt goes smoothly, they'll surely return after successfully hunting so many ferocious beasts," Wang Haoran said. "If the hunt fails, they'll be even more likely to return after being injured. We'll have to prepare a second regiment as soon as possible!"

"He probably doesn't have tiger genes. This hunt failed, and seeing Zuo Lianguang and the others succeed, he must be feeling restless. It shouldn't be too difficult to communicate with him," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Only someone like you would say that!"

Wang Haoran gave a wry smile.

If things were easy, he wouldn't have let Zhang Xuezhou do it; he would have handled it himself.

Even though Wang Haoran entered the Seventh Sequence, Wang Haoran Tianhua would treat him with a "live and let live" attitude. After all, Zhao Tianhua was someone who could almost kill someone in the Seventh Sequence, and he wouldn't have much respect for those in the Seventh Sequence, let alone Wang Haoran, who belonged to the Sixth Sequence.

But Zhang Xuezhou was an exception; he was the one who truly defeated Zhang Xuezhou Tianhua.

Although it was a drinking contest and a drinking game, Zhao Tianhua lost, and even if Zhang Xuezhou didn't have the advantage of the Supreme Purity True Technique, Zhao Tianhua would still give Zhang Xuezhou face.

With Zhang Xuezhou's assurance, Wang Haoran felt that the main force of the Second Hunting Regiment was basically finalized. They only needed to supplement logistics and scout personnel to start the operation smoothly and had a high probability of a successful hunt.

With the Second Regiment Wang Haoran wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the current hunt, and he and Zhang Xuezhou fled quite decisively.

"Committee Member Cai, why didn't you run away?"

After crossing two mountains, Wang Haoran found Cai Guoli sitting on the ground, panting.

He quickly greeted him, and Cai Guoli looked up.

When a pair of bloodshot, bright red eyes looked over, Wang Haoran also noticed Cai Guoli's sharp, protruding teeth, and he felt a chill run down his spine for no reason.

"Observe... observe... thoughts... see..."

Wang Haoran, Cai Guoli closed his eyes and began to mutter incoherently.

"Morbid confusion in old age!"

Clearly, after the battle on Alliance Island, the constant fighting, including dodging attacks from the ferocious eagle beast and luring away the ferocious tiger beast, Cai Guoli was in extremely poor condition.

This also corresponds to the physical condition of the other elderly committee members, except that the duration of their condition varied, and none of them experienced an outbreak like Cai Guoli did at that moment.

"Committee Member Cai must have sensed his potential mental confusion, and thus used a rather radical method to temporarily escape the ferocious beast. He is currently using Mental Strengthening to maintain his sanity!"

Wang Haoran retreated step by step to be on guard, and couldn't help but whisper a reminder.

"He can still barely control himself for now; the Shangqing True Arts might offer some reassurance!"

Zhang Xuezhou also scanned his surroundings, not only to guard against Cai Guoli losing control, but also to be wary of the ferocious beast chasing Cai Guoli possibly appearing suddenly.

He gazed into the distance and heard faint footsteps coming from behind the mountains.

This gave him a slight tremor. Regardless of whether the Shangqing True Technique he had learned from Li Shaojun was useful, he quickly entered a state of chanting incantations and casting spells.

If the Shangqing True Technique is effective, the escape of two people will become the escape of three, and there is even a possibility of a counterattack during the escape.

If the Shangqing True Technique had no effect, Zhang Xuezhou and Wang Haoran would have no choice but to run further away to avoid being mistaken for enemies by both Cai Guoli, who was beginning to fall into the confusion of old age, and the ferocious beast.
