Words:1715Update:22/06/26 12:25:28
As the sun rose in the morning, the air in the dense forest was extremely fresh.
Lin Huang was lying on the hammock between two branches. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched his back and sat up.
He looked around and realized that he was still in the forest of the desert oasis when he saw the dense foliage around him.
After identifying the direction of the lake, Lin Huang leaped down from the hammock and walked towards the lake not far away with his bare feet.
There were a few monsters drinking water by the lake. Seeing Lin Huang, they raised their heads and looked at him cautiously. They looked like they were frozen in time, looking a little silly.
Lin Huang waved his hand at the monsters. "Morning. Have some water. Do you mind if I take a shower?"
The monsters could not understand what Lin Huang was talking about. However, they seemed to be frightened when they saw him waving his hand. They immediately turned around and ran away. Two of them even bumped into each other and fell. They immediately got up and ran away without looking back.
"Oh, what a coward …" Although different monsters had different personalities, it was the first time that Lin Huang had seen such a coward. The monsters that he had encountered in the past would usually fight with humans. They would only run away when there were powerful summoning monsters around them.
He shook his head and smiled. He then took off all his clothes, including his underwear, and threw them into his storage space. He then leaped into the lake.
It was spring. Although the temperature in the desert was slightly higher, the lake was still cold. However, Lin Huang's physique was comparable to a gold-level rank-3. He did not feel cold. Instead, he felt cool.
Bloody entered the lake and soon, it returned to its original size. It transformed into a giant vine that was thousands of meters long and swam around in the water. Although it was a parasite, it was still a plant and it loved water.
Seeing that it was swimming happily in the water, Lin Huang decided to let it go. "Play in the lake for a while. I'll go back to the hammock after I'm done bathing."
Bloody nodded immediately after receiving the instruction and dived deep into the lake.
After showering, Lin Huang swam for two rounds nearby and stretched his body. He then got out of the pool.
Ye Xiu's current body was exactly how he looked like in his previous life. Even his body proportions had not changed. He looked like he was 25 or 26 years old and was 1.83 meters tall. He looked skinny when he was dressed but muscular when he took off his clothes. Now that he was in this world, his six-pack had become eight-pack and his body shape was even more beautiful.
He walked to the shore naked and wiped himself with a dry towel. He then put on his clothes.
Looking at the tranquil surface of the lake, there was no sign of Blood Red nearby. He had no idea where that fellow had gone. However, Lin Huang was not worried about its safety as it was a double mutated silver-level rank-3 monster. Even if it could not defeat a gold-level rank-3 monster, it would be able to escape as long as it did not encounter a transcendent. Moreover, Bloody's intelligence was so high that it was terrifying. It would not provoke a transcendent.
Lin Huang returned to his hammock and sat down. While eating his breakfast rations, he checked the news.
"Zhu Nian has been promoted to the Grand Deacon?" Lin Huang saw the headline when he opened the news page.
Lin Huang was stunned when he saw the middle-aged man in the photo. Of course, he remembered that he was the man who had lost to the Ghastly Clown outside Daxi City.
"No wonder he's so much more powerful than the other holy fire-levels. Only immortal-level people can be the head executive officer. Now that he had become the grand executive officer of the Division7 Hunters' Association, it meant that he had reached immortal-level. Even if he didn't achieve immortal-level when he fought with the Ghastly Clown last year, he should be close to it. "Lin Huang did not expect Zhu Nian, whom he had saved with his sealing card, to have such an achievement.
Besides the safety zones 1 to 3, the Hunters' Association branches in each of the safety zones would not have more than 20 grand executives.
Division7 only had 12 grand executives before Zhu Nian was promoted. Now, including the newly promoted Zhu Nian, there were only 13 of them.
Seeing that Zhu Nian had become a grand executive officer, Lin Huang checked his personal information carefully.
"He graduated from the basic military college at the age of 28 … He wasn't accepted by any of the higher military colleges … He managed to reach holy fire-level at the age of 58 … He only managed to reach immortal-level at the age of 75 … He's really a late bloomer!" Lin Huang exclaimed after reading Zhu Nian's information.
Actually, being a genius was not scary as many of them were buried because they did not work hard enough. Lin Huang had heard of such stories on Earth. In this world, it was even crueler. Not only would geniuses be buried, but they might also be assassinated by the underworld.
Moreover, the younger one was, the more arrogant he would be. As soon as he encountered a major setback, he would not be able to recover and he would no longer be a genius.
As for Zhu Nian, who was a late bloomer and had accumulated a lot of experience, he was quite terrifying. Such a person would fight his way through setbacks. His mind had been through the baptism of time and all sorts of hardships. He was extremely determined. Coupled with sufficient experience, as long as he grasped the opportunity, he would be able to soar to the top. Zhu Nian was a typical example of such a case.
Many people thought that the famous people were geniuses since they were young. That was why they would be successful when they grew up. However, most of them were no different from the rest when they were young. They were just ordinary people. As for the magical stories about the strong people when they were young, most of them were exaggerated or made up.
However, the truth was that they had put in more effort than the rest during their growth. That was why they could achieve more than the rest.
Hard work was far more important than talent!
Knowing that, even though he had a powerful Goldfinger, Lin Huang never slacked on his training.
After turning off Zhu Nian's information, Lin Huang took a quick look at the other news.
Just when he was done with his breakfast, a red glow shot towards him like a bolt of lightning and wrapped itself around his arm. ,
Lin Huang knew that Bloody was back. However, it seemed to be in a hurry this time.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Bloody was pulling him down, he immediately leaped to the ground.
Bloody then left Lin Huang's arm and gestured to Lin Huang to follow it. It then dashed out.
Lin Huang immediately followed it.
Lin Huang followed Bloody all the way to the lakeside. Bloody then wrote a line of words on the sand by the lakeside.
"I've found the Starlight Beast's lair. It's at the bottom of the lake!"
