"What is the urgent task? Is it dangerous?" Dean couldn't help but ask.
The young instructor replied: "I heard that there is a rare monster that has been given a name. It is a bit dangerous, but the team that will go with you is led by Glenn, one of the two strongest hunters of the consortium. You are only responsible for tracking the smell. They will protect you as long as you don't fall behind."
"Rare monster?" Dean thought about the consortium's evaluation of the 'Defiler'. Was it a monster of the same level? He immediately asked: "Can I go to the residential area first?"
"Of course not!" The young instructor didn't think: "It is an emergency. Time is very tight. Come with me to the hall of the hunting castle. The others should have already arrived." He grabbed Dean's hand and ran away.
Dean was anxious. He didn't have time to configure black gunpowder for self-defense. He was unavoidably worried because he was bare-handed and his newly learned archery skills.
Soon, under the young instructor's lead, the two of them crossed the river and came to the castle on the other side of this territory that was leaning against the mountain ridge. This castle was completely black, like a black evil beast crawling on the ground, full of a gloomy atmosphere.
The young instructor took Dean to the front of the castle and said: "Go in. They are waiting for you inside. I will prepare some dry food for you."
Dean thanked him in his heart. After the instructor left, he turned around and took a deep breath to enter the castle.
The guards at the door didn't stop him and opened the giant door for him.
The front hall of the castle was dimly lit. There were six figures, four men and two women. They were talking about something when they heard the sound of the door opening.
"Is this the little guy?" One of them asked.
Another youth said: "I heard that he is a lucky scavenger rookie. Most likely it is him."
At this time, a slim figure came out of the crowd. It was a beautiful woman in her early twenties. She was wearing a tight-fitting black hunter's armor. She glanced at Dean and said: "Immediately put on your armor and get ready to go."
Dean suddenly felt that the woman was somewhat familiar. He suddenly remembered that when he had just become a scavenger, he was invited to the aristocratic banquet. He had seen two hunters, and this woman was one of them. Presumably, she and the youth were the two strongest hunters of the consortium. No wonder the aristocrats would take the initiative to greet them. Their attitude was extremely friendly, including the people of Mel's main family.
"Yes." Dean glanced around and saw a pile of black armor on the chair next to him. He trotted over and opened it. The size was consistent with his height. It should be prepared for him.
In addition to the armor, there was a black bow.
Dean carried the bow and quiver on his back and said to the woman: "I'm ready."
"Yes." The woman nodded slightly as she saw Dean was so efficient. She said to the others: "This time the 'Black Weaver' has appeared. We must try our best to catch it. We can't let it slip away again. Once we are outside the giant wall, all of you stay alert, do you hear me?"
"Yes!" The other five stood at attention and shouted.
Glenn nodded and waved her hand: "Let's go!"
He pushed open the front door and came to the stable next to the castle. There were more than ten black horses in the stable. They wore simple steel helmets to protect them from being bitten by the monsters in the radiation zone when they passed through the radiation zone.
Although the monsters in the radiation zone couldn't be compared to the monsters outside the giant wall, but it was still extremely dangerous. However, this was not under the management of consortium hunters like Dean. It was handled by the army and the Knights of Light from the Holy Church.
Everyone turned over and mounted the horse.
Dean saw that the young instructor hadn't delivered the dry food yet, so he could only give up. He turned over and climbed on a big horse. Glenn shouted "Go!" The team of seven people, including Dean, immediately galloped along the path of the territory.
After leaving the territory, everyone went straight to the wasteland of the radiation zone.
Along the way, they occasionally bumped into some beasts in the radiation zone. There were pythons coiled on the roadside and small groups of three to five wolves. These monsters had slight changes in their bodies due to the infiltration of the radiation zone. Some parts of their bodies ulcerated and some parts of their bodies grew strange cuticle.
These hungry beasts saw Dean and others and were about to pounce on them. Glenn snorted and didn't do anything. The hungry beasts quickly retreated in fear. It seemed that they had encountered something extremely vicious.
Dean wasn't surprised. He knew that it was because of her magic marks. Otherwise, it would be difficult to scare away the beasts, especially the hungry beasts. But the magic marks were different. They carried the smell of the monsters outside the giant wall. For these beasts, hunters were like monsters in human skin. It was good enough that they didn't hunt them. How would they dare to take the initiative to come and feed themselves?
Soon, everyone arrived outside the giant wall.
"You are here. The passage has been opened for you." A middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Mellon consortium stood in front of the giant wall.
Glenn nodded to him. She dismounted and took the lead to enter the passage.
They came to the dark underground passage. Glenn and the other five stopped halfway. They clasped their hands together and prayed to the goddess of the hunt engraved on the wall of the passage. But because of the urgency of the situation, they only prayed symbolically and quickly walked along the passage.
Dean glanced at them and followed behind them.
Once again they came to the outside of the giant wall.
Dean found that the entrance to the passage was different from the last one. It should be another entrance controlled by the consortium. Outside the entrance was not a plain but a forest of more than 20 meters high trees. Each tree was like a lonely pen without branches or leaves.
Glenn entered the forest of giant trees. She was familiar with the path and quickly moved in a direction.
The others followed and protected Dean in the center of the team.
Dean suddenly felt the gap between him and the other hunters. They could easily keep up with Glenn's pace. But he needed to use 70 to 80 percent of his strength to keep up. Otherwise he would fall behind.
"It seems that there are physical differences even between primary hunters." Dean thought: "But I haven't used the 'God's Blessing' that I have accumulated in the last two months. There are also 210 cold crystals collected in area no 9."
Along the edge of the forest of giant trees, there was a broken highway covered with moss.
"Bridge," Glenn said and quickly jumped onto the highway.
The corner of Dean's mouth twitched as he followed behind.
"Area no 1 is in front of us." Glenn looked back at Dean and said: "When we reach area no 1, you just have to protect yourself. It is best not to take it lightly. Mellon consortium has more than 20 areas. It is the strongest area except for the forbidden area. All the monsters inside are above level 10. This time we are going to catch a level 26 mature 'Black Weaver'."
