An Lin suppressed the frustration in his heart and continued onward.
The python carcass behind them would be taken care of by the soldiers.
In the meantime, they encountered a large Saberback Tiger, a Rainbow Lizard that exuded a poisonous mist, and a giant rhinoceros that was thirty feet tall.
These ferocious-looking monsters were all swept aside by An Lin and the others without any resistance.
"Sigh, there really isn't a single one who can fight."
Luo Ziping stretched his muscular body and spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"Heh, if we encounter a Spirit Beast, please show your prowess, Student Luo." Zong Yongyan smiled lightly, but there was a hint of mockery on his face.
"M-hm, Big Brother An, don't do anything, I want to see just how bad * ss Student Luo is." Miao Tian furrowed her brows.
"Agreed!" Sun Shenglian looked coldly at Luo Ziping and nodded.
Luo Ziping blushed and apologized to An Lin. "I'm sorry, Big Brother An, I shouldn't have flexed in front of you!"
An Lin: "…"
F * ck! How did I get involved in this?
What did I do?!
This was only a small interlude. The group continued to traverse the mountains.
In half a month, each person had to kill thirty beasts.
If they were assigned to a team, they only needed to kill ten beasts a day to reach the target.
However, they weren't satisfied with just reaching the target. This was the end of the year test, and if they exceeded the target, the school would reward them!
Although An Lin didn't really care about those rewards, his team members were looking forward to it.
Thus, after some discussion, the team decided that their target for today was to kill twenty beasts a day!
Soon, they arrived at a swamp.
There were many mosquitoes and poisonous creatures here. Miao Tian and Sun Shenglian clearly hated this kind of place, and they both furrowed their brows.
"Big Brother An, how about we go around, it's so dirty here!"
Miao Tian pouted and waved her hands to chase away the mosquitoes around her.
An Lin also felt that there was no need to go through the swamp. He was just about to agree when the sounds of battle suddenly came from the distance.
"Hmm? There's movement up ahead, let's go take a look! "
The twenty teams were divided into different routes.
Logically speaking, they wouldn't meet any other team members on this route.
Therefore, the previous battles had piqued his interest.
When the team members heard their captain's words, they all nodded seriously and followed behind An Lin, rushing towards the battlefield.
"Boom!"
The fireball exploded.
One of the giant blood-sucking mosquitoes was forced back by the explosion, but the other giant mosquito quickly flew behind a man, its sharp proboscis piercing into his body like a sharp sword.
"Chen De!"
A muscular man clad in beast skin cried out in alarm.
The man who was stung by the giant mosquito widened his eyes and his body rapidly shrank. In an instant, he was sucked dry.
After eating its fill, the giant mosquito pulled out its mouthpiece and flew into the air. It then continued to observe the six people on the ground.
On the ground, there were already more than ten men who had their blood sucked dry.
And in the sky, there were still more than a dozen of these giant mosquitoes …
"Leader, let's escape …"
A man wielding a longsword trembled as he watched his companions being sucked dry one by one.
"Run? Do you think you can outrun these mosquitoes? " The muscular man clad in beast skin had an enraged expression in his eyes. "Even if I die, I'll drag a few mosquitoes down with me!"
A giant mosquito flew through the air, and its sharp proboscis pierced toward the man's heart.
"Yah!" The man wielded two axes and hacked toward the giant mosquito.
The surrounding vital energy surged violently, and a white light burst forth from the axes, directly slicing the head of a giant mosquito in front of him into pieces!
Right at this moment, the man's back was pierced by the proboscis of two giant mosquitoes!
"Leader!"
The other team members were also entangled by the giant mosquitoes, and they could only yell in panic when they saw their leader being pierced by the giant mosquitoes.
"Boom!"
A golden fist instantly pulverized the two giant mosquitoes behind the muscular man clad in beast skin.
"Buzz buzz buzz …!"
The surrounding giant mosquitoes suddenly became agitated, and several of them rushed toward another direction.
There were new enemies there.
However, before they could even attack, a sword flashed by and decapitated the giant mosquitoes.
A beautiful woman with long hair shook off the blood on her sword and stared coldly at the ten or so giant mosquitoes in front of her. She was Sun Shenglian from An Lin's team.
One of the giant mosquitoes sensed that something was amiss and was just about to fly away when a flying wheel flew through the air and sliced its body in half.
Miao Tian guided the flying wheel and continued to attack the other giant mosquito.
Luo Ziping and Zong Yongyan also joined the battle.
Luo Ziping's fists were ferocious, and each strike was able to smash a giant mosquito to death.
Zong Yongyan waved his feather fan lightly, creating gusts of strong winds that trapped the giant mosquitoes before killing them.
So powerful …
The trapped men all exclaimed in shock as they watched the members of An Lin's team slaughter the giant mosquitoes.
Soon, the dozen or so giant mosquitoes were all killed. Not a single one was spared.
"Are you alright?"
An Lin walked toward the muscular man clad in beast skin and asked worriedly.
The man's body had been pierced by the giant mosquito's mouthpiece, and blood was flowing from the wound.
"I'm fine, it's just a small wound. Thank you for saving me, fellow cultivators."
There was a grateful expression on the brawny man's face as he bowed toward An Lin and the others.
The other men also bowed in gratitude. If it weren't for An Lin and the others arriving in time, they would probably have already died to the giant mosquitoes.
An Lin shook his head with a smile. "It was nothing. Besides, we were on a mission to hunt mutant beasts. We killed a dozen or so mutant beasts in one go, so we've accomplished our goal for today."
Miao Tian and the others also had satisfied expressions on their faces. It was truly troublesome to search for mutant beasts all over the mountains.
Now that a dozen or so of them had appeared, they were naturally elated.
Then, a dozen or so armored men appeared behind An Lin and the others.
They cut off the valuable parts of the giant mosquitoes and placed them into storage rings.
"You're students from the Celestial Court?"
The muscular man clad in beast skin couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw this familiar combination of cultivators and soldiers.
"That's right." An Lin nodded and didn't try to hide anything.
"No wonder you're only of the Tenth Stage Dao Body, but you're able to display such astonishing battle prowess. So you're the prodigies of the Kingdom of the Nine States." The muscular man had a look of realization.
Then, he hesitated for a while before continuing to speak to An Lin and the others. "I have a deal. After we're done, you'll receive six ninth-rank immortal fruits. Are you interested in cooperating with us?"
Immortal fruits?
An Lin's eyes lit up. Although they were the lowest-rank immortal fruits, their value was still immeasurable!
"What deal? Let's hear it," An Lin immediately said.
The other team members also looked at the muscular man expectantly after hearing about the immortal fruits.
The muscular man in beast skin spoke, "Our hunting team discovered a spirit mountain in the Myriad Mountain Realm. On this spirit mountain grew a Mysterious Azure Spirit Blood Tree, and there were already nine immortal fruits on it.
"Unfortunately, with the Golden-Eyed Monkey King guarding the Mysterious Azure Spirit Blood Tree, our hunting team has been unable to obtain those immortal fruits. Fellow cultivators, you're all powerful. If you work with us, we'll give you six immortal fruits after we're done. How about it? "
Every immortal fruit could cause countless cultivators to fight over it. Nine immortal fruits was definitely enough to shake the entire Stone Dragon State.
If it weren't for the fact that An Lin and the others had saved them and that they were students of the Celestial Court, they definitely wouldn't have revealed this information to the others.
"Hmm … So, what's the strength of the Golden-Eyed Monkey King?" An Lin stroked his chin and asked.
"Around the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage." The muscular man in beast skin didn't hide anything.
In reality, he didn't expect An Lin and the others to be able to defeat the Golden-Eyed Monkey King. As long as they could stall it for a while, they could take advantage of the chaos to snatch the immortal fruits.
However, An Lin's next sentence made the muscular man and Luo Ziping wet their pants.
"Deal!" An Lin chuckled and continued.
"Luo Ziping will be in charge of killing the Golden-Eyed Monkey King, and we'll be in charge of plucking the immortal fruits. Let's go!"
