Everyone in the room immediately shifted their gazes from captain Kendall to Jianchen. However, when they saw Jianchen's young face, quite a few of them were surprised.
However, Jianchen's compliment still left quite a few people with a good impression of him. After all, the first impression was extremely important when strangers met for the first time.
"Little brother Jianchen, your name should be Jianchen, right? Come, come, sit down. No matter how old you are, since you've joined our Flame Mercenaries, we're all brothers in the future. We'll share our joys and sorrows. If anyone bullies you in the future, feel free to come find me." A burly man climbed up from the mattress on the floor and arrived before Jianchen. He placed his right hand on Jianchen's shoulder intimately and pulled him to a chair to sit down.
Jianchen smiled, "May I know your name, big brother?" As he spoke, Jianchen studied the man before him. The man was extremely burly. His upper body was bare, and his sturdy muscles bulged. He seemed to be in his thirties. Even though the room was dim, Jianchen could still clearly see that the man's skin was rather dark, making him seem like a completely black man. His bare upper body was covered in terrifying wounds. Judging from the scars, they should have been caused by ferocious magical beasts. He could tell with a single glance that the man had fought against magical beasts many times.
"I'm Hu Po. Little brother Jianchen, if you don't mind, you can call me big brother Hu Po in the future. I'm older than you anyway, so you won't lose out even if you call me big brother," the man chuckled as he sat beside Jianchen and poured some water for Jianchen.
"Alright then, I'll call you big brother Hu Po in the future." Jianchen chuckled.
At this time, the person who was originally lying on the floor and drinking wine slowly got up.
"Little brother Jianchen, let me introduce you," Captain Kendall came to Jianchen's side and pointed at the other people in the room as he introduced them to Jianchen.
Apart from Jianchen and Captain Kendall, there were six other people in the house. All of them were men in their thirties or forties. What surprised Jianchen was that there was a pair of twin brothers named Zhou Dakai and Zhou Xiaokai. They were twenty-eight years old and both had the strength of a primary great saint. They looked exactly the same. If it wasn't for the scar on one of them's forehead, it was really hard to tell which twin was the older one and which was the younger one.
Other than Hu Po, who was 32 years old and was a beginner Great Saint, the remaining four were called Yun Xuan, Xiao Dao, and Chang Ningfeng.
Yun Xuan was very tall, but very skinny. He looked like a scholar. He was twenty-five years old and possessed the strength of a mid level saint.
Xiao Dao was short and his skinny frame was like a skeleton. He looked much thinner than Yun Xuan. Xiao Dao was the youngest person in the Flame Mercenaries aside from Jianchen. He was only twenty-two years old and possessed the strength of a mid level saint.
Chang Ningfeng was a young man who looked very calm. He was two years younger than Hu Po, just thirty years old. However, he was a bit stronger than Hu Po as he was a mid level great saint.
"Jianchen, our Flame Mercenaries only have these few people. The other two went to the market to buy things. I'm sure they'll be back soon," said Captain Kendall. "Our Flame Mercenaries have an operation tomorrow. All the brothers in the group have to go. Little brother Jianchen, I wonder if you'll be participating in tomorrow's operation? Our group doesn't have that many broken rules. If you don't want to participate, no one will force you. It's completely voluntary."
"Operation? What kind of operation? "Jianchen blinked and asked in confusion.
Captain Kendall rolled his eyes at Jianchen before grabbing the jug of alcohol on the table and taking a large gulp. Only then did he say, "What else can we do? Of course we're going to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts to hunt magical beasts. After all, I established the Flame Mercenaries to gather a few more people to hunt magical beasts. With our current strength, we can only make some money from hunting magical beasts and selling magic cores."
"Of course I'm going. Since we're going to hunt magical beasts, what reason do I have to not go?" Jianchen chuckled and immediately agreed.
"Little brother Jianchen, don't worry. Although you're not very strong, as long as our group has any gains, you'll get a share. If your contributions are great, we'll even distribute more benefits according to your contributions." The one who spoke was Hu Po.
"Jianchen, the environment in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts is extremely vile. Moreover, this operation will be extremely dangerous. If we come across a Class 3 magical beast that even the captain and big brothers can't defeat, it's very likely that we'll lose our lives. So, Jianchen, you should reconsider." The person who spoke this time was actually Xiao Dao, who was not much older than Jianchen. Xiao Dao stared at Jianchen with shining eyes. His face was filled with sincerity, and his voice was slightly solemn. He was sincerely reminding Jianchen.
Hearing Xiao Dao's words, the faces of the other people in the room became rather solemn. In particular, Class 3 magical beasts placed quite a bit of pressure on them. Although captain Kendall was a beginner Saint Master, he could only protect himself if he came across a Class 3 magical beast. After all, magical beasts of the same level were often much stronger than humans of the same level. On the Tian Yuan Continent, it was basically impossible for a person to kill a magical beast of the same level or stronger without an extremely high level cultivation technique or powerful battle skill. Moreover, Saint Force had to be of an attribute. Otherwise, the only option left was to flee.
On the other hand, although captain Kendall was a beginner Saint Master, his Saint Force did not have an attribute. His attacks were much weaker than Saint Force with an attribute. Although he could put up a fight against a regular Class 3 magical beast, he could only protect himself. If he came across a powerful Class 3 magical beast that excelled in speed, even captain Kendall would find it very difficult to escape. In the end, he would only end up as food for the magical beast.
However, no one in the room noticed the faint disdain in Jianchen's eyes when he heard about Class 3 magical beasts. Back when he was only a beginner Great Saint, he had already begun hunting Class 3 magical beasts. It could be said that regular Class 3 magical beasts were no threat to Jianchen at all, unless he encountered something strange like the Golden-striped Silver Snake. But now, Jianchen's strength had reached the level of a mid Great Saint. He was much more powerful than a beginner Great Saint. In other words, Jianchen was completely capable of taking on several Class 3 magical beasts by himself.
