Yan Nan 'er
"That's right, this kid's strength is far greater than this. When he entered, I purposely released the aura of a Marrow Changing Stage, but he wasn't surprised at all. Evidently, he often sees Marrow Changing Stage practitioners. This is enough to prove that he should be from a powerful first rate clan. So after we enter Sun Mound Mountain, we must ensure his safety. If he suffers any harm, our Battle Wolf Hunting Team might be annihilated! "
Yan Jun said. At this moment, Old Chen had already arranged for Luo Zheng's accommodation and walked in.
"You can leave first. I have something to discuss with your Uncle Chen."
Yan Jun waved his hand at his daughter.
"Hmph, there's definitely something wrong with this kid. I'll keep a close eye on him tomorrow and see what tricks he can pull."
Seeing that her father had no intention of continuing the conversation, Yan Nan 'er thought to herself as she left the hall.
Early the next morning, Luo Zheng received Old Chen's notice to enter Sun Mound Mountain to hunt beasts.
There were a total of fifty people in the Battle Wolf Hunting Team. Other than Yan Jun, Yan Nan 'er and Old Chen, the other three captains were also in the Blood Tempering Stage.
The members of the hunting team received a monthly allowance based on their status. Furthermore, sixty percent of the spoils of the hunt would go to the hunting team and the remaining forty percent would be distributed according to their contributions.
Some of the hunters who didn't receive a quota were envious of Luo Zheng.
After the Battle Wolf Hunting Team formed a team outside the manor, the hunting team immediately set off for Sun Mound Mountain.
Luo Zheng noticed that the Battle Wolf Hunting Team was very careful when they were moving. Once they entered the area where the berserk beasts roamed, there would be Octochrome Hunters walking in front, left, and right, acting as scouts. Moreover, they would come back every half an hour to rotate.
However, Yan Jun did not arrange for Luo Zheng to be a scout. Instead, he arranged for him to be in the middle of the team.
Very quickly, the team arrived at the outskirts of Sun Mound Mountain. The enormous Sun Mound Mountain covered an area of a thousand miles. The mountain peaks pierced through the clouds and the forest was deep. Occasionally, the roars of beasts could be heard from the depths of the mountain.
The expressions of many experienced hunters became vigilant. They took out the weapons that were originally in their backpacks and put on their special steel armor.
This kind of steel armor was very light, but it could provide a very good defense. The body of a vicious beast was far stronger than that of a martial artist, and the lethality of its claws and teeth was even more astonishing. This kind of steel armor was a necessary item for hunters to fight against vicious beasts.
"Enter the mountain!"
After some preparations, Yan Jun gave the order and the hunting team set off into the depths of the mountain.
At this moment, on a big tree in the distance, two young men who were completely wrapped in black clothes leaned over the dark canopy and stared at the Battle Wolf Hunting Team.
These two were Xiao Fei and Xiao Yuan. They were the experts of the Xiao family's disciples. Both of them were at the Marrow Changing Realm.
"That brat is Luo Zheng. He didn't show up all this time because he joined the Battle Wolf Hunting Team. How cunning!"
Xiao Fei put away a portrait of Luo Zheng with a cold glint in his eyes.
The two of them had arrived at Sun Mound Mountain more than half a month ago. They had been guarding the entrance of Sun Mound Mountain, but they didn't find Luo Zheng. Now, they finally found him.
"The person at the front should be the Battle Wolf Hunting Team's Hunting Team Captain, Yan Jun. He's also at the Marrow Changing Realm. There are also five or six Blood Tempering Realm martial artists in the hunting team. If we attack, we will definitely be obstructed and Luo Zheng might take the opportunity to escape."
Xiao Yuan said.
These two were the elites of the Xiao family. Not only were they strong, but they had also been selected by the Xiao family to be the future foundation of the family. They weren't stupid people.
"Since that's the case, why don't we play a game of cat and mouse? We'll follow behind them and find an opportunity to create some trouble and panic to wear down their strength. We'll let them fall into despair step by step until they collapse and die. It'll definitely be interesting. "
Xiao Fei and Xiao Yuan looked at each other and laughed. Their figures flashed and disappeared.
Half a day later, the hunting team had already penetrated a hundred miles into Sun Mound Mountain. Although they were still in the periphery, they would occasionally be attacked by fierce beasts. However, the Battle Wolf Hunting Team was experienced and had scouts to warn them in advance. They didn't suffer any casualties.
"That woman is really …"
Since they set off in the morning, Luo Zheng noticed that Yan Nan 'er had been staring at him. Her gaze was unfriendly and she would occasionally give him a warning.
After entering the range of Sun Mound Mountain, Yan Nan 'er followed him closely and stared at him.
This feeling made Luo Zheng very unhappy. After all, he wasn't a criminal.
"Hey, little girl, why are you staring at me? Have you taken a fancy to me?"
Luo Zheng turned his head and glanced at Yan Nan 'er. Seeing her round eyes constantly examining him, as if she was staring at a criminal, Luo Zheng was delighted and smiled.
"Bullshit, you brat. You haven't even grown your hair yet. What do you have that's worth me taking a fancy to? How dare you call me little girl."
Yan Nan 'er stared fiercely at Luo Zheng.
She grew up in the hunting team and had interacted with burly men. She was also very fierce and fierce. When she was teased by Luo Zheng, she didn't feel shy at all and directly retaliated.
"You even know that I haven't grown my hair yet. You peeked at me bathing last night!"
Luo Zheng looked as if he was at a disadvantage.
"You! You're so shameless! "
Yan Nan 'er's face was red as she turned her head fiercely to the side. After all, she was a girl and Yan Jun's daughter. In the past, when she bickered with the hunters in the hunting team, everyone would give in to her. She didn't expect Luo Zheng to not care about this at all.
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Hahahaha …" The nervous hunters around them all laughed when they saw the two of them bickering. They also felt much more relaxed. Some of them even secretly gave Luo Zheng a thumbs up.
Yan Jun and Old Chen, who were walking at the front of the team, also smiled.
"Big Brother, I've already investigated the matter you asked me to do yesterday. Luo Zheng came to Dafeng City from War Emperor City through the transportation array. There shouldn't be any problems with his identity." Old Chen smiled.
"Yes, if my guess is correct, this kid must be the son of an aristocratic family. We have to find a way to ask about his background. Maybe we can use this kid's relationship to get in touch with the family behind him."
Yan Jun smiled.
"Big Brother, did you deliberately ask Nan 'er to keep an eye on this kid to let her come into contact with him?" Old Chen asked with a deeper meaning.
"A sixteen-year-old in the Body Refining Realm can already be considered a genius. With the support of a great family behind him, his future is bright. If he can become Nan 'er's home, it wouldn't be bad. After all, I only have one daughter. I can't let her fight with me in this barren land every day. It's up to fate."
Yan Jun looked at his daughter with love in his eyes.
"Hunting Leader, the scout rotation time has passed. There are still two brothers who haven't returned."
At this moment, a hunter came over to report.
The Battle Wolf Hunting Team had strict discipline. Although the hunters were as close as brothers, they all obeyed the rules. If one of them had an accident and missed the rotation time, then it was possible. But if two of them didn't return on time, then there was a problem.
Yan Jun frowned. They had just entered Sun Mound Mountain not long ago and were still in the outer region. The fierce beasts that appeared were mostly at the Bone Tempering or Membrane Tempering Realm. The scouts and hunters were in groups of two. It was impossible for them to be killed before they could even send out a signal.
"Big Brother, there might be some problems here. I'll take two people to check it out." Old Chen said cautiously.
"Okay, be careful. Tong Hai and Old Chen will go check it out. The rest of you, stop advancing and stay put. "Yan Jun nodded and said to a squad leader in the Blood Tempering Realm.
Not long after, Old Chen and Tong Hai returned, but they didn't find anything. They didn't even find any traces of a fight.
Two hunters had mysteriously disappeared. This was something that had never happened before.
There were only two possibilities for this to happen. First, the attacker was so powerful that the two hunters didn't even have a chance to fight back. Second, there was something wrong with the two of them.
However, these two hunters had been in the hunting team for many years. It was impossible for them to betray the team.
Many hunters began to whisper to each other. After all, they had to take turns to be the scout. It was hard to say who would mysteriously disappear when it was their turn. This kind of strange situation was even more frightening than facing a powerful ferocious beast.
"This matter has already caused some hunters to panic. However, the Yellow Dragon Fruit will ripen in these three days. When the Yellow Dragon Fruit ripens, the Golden Horned Python will immediately eat it. We must rush over before that happens. We absolutely cannot delay."
Yan Jun thought for a while and raised his head to look at everyone. "Next, each group will be led by a squad leader in the Tempered Realm. Everyone, be careful and continue forward!"
With this arrangement, the hunting team continued on their journey. Fortunately, there were no more accidents.
At night, the hunting team settled down in an open space beside a small stream. The hunters took off their steel armor. The meat of the beasts they hunted during the day became the most delicious food. Many people took out wine to relieve their tiredness and calm their nerves.
Soon, everyone ate some meat and rested. They had to ensure that they had enough energy to hunt in the mountain.
Due to the accident during the day, they were more cautious at night. There were hidden sentries three miles away from the campsite. There was also a squad of four led by the squad leader who constantly patrolled the campsite.
The night in Sun Mound Mountain was actually more dangerous than the day. Many fierce beasts had the habit of hunting at night.
"Stinking brat, you better tell me clearly. What happened to the two of us hunters who lost track of us today? You must have something to do with what happened today! "
Yan Nan 'er followed behind Luo Zheng as soon as he entered the tent. She pouted angrily and glared at Luo Zheng with her bright almond-shaped eyes.
Yan Nan 'er stared at Luo Zheng for the entire day. She was furious that she could not find anything suspicious about him.
"Are you blind? How can you tell that it has something to do with me? Idiot, I can't be bothered with you!"
Luo Zheng had been arguing with her for the entire day and was already used to it. He curled his lips in disdain and turned around to face her with his butt.
