Yi Yeyu left with more than 50 people, including Bai Yan. Including Lin Huang, there were 12 of them. Other than Lin Huang, the rest of them were iron-level rank-3.
"Since the few of you are staying, you'll have to follow orders!" Yi Zheng said to them, "This is a battlefield. Your safety will not only affect your own life, but also the lives of your comrades. Therefore, you have to listen to orders. Do you understand?! "
"Yes!" The group of young men stood up straight and shouted.
"What's your name?" Yi Zheng turned his head and looked at Lin Huang.
"Lin Huang."
"Very well, you said that you want 200,000 people to survive. I'll hand these 10 kids over to you now. Your task is simple. Make sure that they all survive. Do you dare to accept this mission? " Yi Zheng smiled and looked at Lin Huang. He gave the mission to Lin Huang because he was afraid that he would die on the battlefield. He knew that Lin Huang was a smart man. With the ten young men around, he would not bring them to their deaths.
"I accept."
Lin Huang nodded in agreement. In reality, he could guess what Yi Zheng was thinking, but he had other considerations. If the young men were to be with other hunters, it would be difficult for them to cooperate. Professional hunters would not let a kid who had not even registered as a Reserve Hunter protect their backs. It should not be a problem for him to lead the 10 young men who were iron-level rank-3 to clear the level-1 foothold.
The young men had seen Lin Huang's skills before. Two of them were even beaten up by Tyrant. The injuries on their faces had not healed yet. They were convinced of Lin Huang's ability.
Seeing that the 10 young men did not object to Lin Huang being the leader, although Yi Zheng did not know that Lin Huang was an Imperial Censor, he could guess that Lin Huang was either powerful or had a powerful background.
Soon after, Yi Yeyu came back with 300 professional hunters. Most of the 300 of them were Silver Hunters. There were 20 to 30 Bronze Hunters and five Gold Hunters.
Most of them knew Yi Zheng. They looked at him with respect, including the five Gold Hunters.
Yi Yeyu left soon after she sent the people over. Yi Zheng then began to assign tasks.
The 300 of them went their separate ways. The 20 Bronze Hunters were sent to clear the canyon while the Silver Hunters headed to the snowy mountains to clear the foothold. The Gold Hunters were responsible for cutting the giant rocks at the foot of the mountains.
Yi Yeyu made four trips from the medium-sized foothold and brought back a total of 1,200 professional hunters. Among them, there were close to 1,000 Silver Hunters and more than 20 Gold Hunters. The remaining Bronze Hunters were either extremely powerful or had special skills.
Since the monster horde had yet to break out, Yi Zheng followed Lin Huang's plan and sent more than 1,000 people out to clean up the snowy mountains and the canyon.
The giant rocks that were cut by the Gold Hunters were moved by the tens of thousands of adult residents in the foothold. They were placed at the entrance of the canyon.
Lin Huang and the rest were sent to clear the canyon. The Bronze Hunters were usually in teams of two or three but there were 11 of them in their team.
There were not many monsters in the canyon to begin with. With the help of the other professional hunters, Lin Huang and the rest could not find a complete monster after searching for more than an hour.
"These professional Hunters are way too ferocious. We've been searching for so long, and we've changed our route a few times. Yet, we've only seen one or two monster limbs and a ground full of monster blood," a tall and strong young man could not help but complain.
His name was Zhou Le. He was one of the troublemakers who provoked Lin Huang two days ago. There were bruises on his face from when he was beaten up by the Tyrant.
"It's a good thing that they're efficient. It's best that we don't have to do anything until the monster horde breaks out. Then, this foothold will be completely safe. "Lin Huang thought it through.
"Lin Huang, do you think we can defend this foothold this time?" Zhou Le asked.
"If we can surround the entrance of the canyon, it shouldn't be a problem to defend it for two days. I'm just afraid … "Lin Huang frowned as he said this.
"What are you afraid of?"
"The entrance of the canyon is too big. I'm afraid that the monster horde will break out before they can surround it …" Lin Huang voiced out his concern.
"Lin Huang, don't jinx it. We still want to leave this place alive and become transcendents one day!" A short young man named Yu Guang quickly said. He was one of the people who provoked Lin Huang earlier. There were bruises on his face as well.
"Don't worry. As long as I, Lin Huang, am alive, I'll definitely bring all of you out of here alive!" Lin Huang said proudly again.
"Someone has already walked in this direction. The monsters in front of us must have been killed. Let's change our route." Zhou Le squatted down to check and made this judgment. He had a detection skill. Although the level was not high, it was not difficult for him to make such a simple judgment.
"Alright, which direction should we go now?" Lin Huang trusted Zhou Le's judgment.
"Let's go in the two o 'clock direction." Zhou Le looked around and said to Lin Huang.
"Zhou Le, can you f * cking do it? We've been following your route for more than an hour and we haven't even seen a single monster's hair." Yu Guang laughed.
"Can you blame me? The situation in this canyon is that there are too many wolves and not enough meat." Zhou Le was helpless.
"If we really can't do it, Lin Huang, you lead the way." Yu Guang suggested.
"I'm not good at detection. Let's follow Zhou Le's route. If any of you think that your detection skill is better than Zhou Le's, you can volunteer to lead the way. "
Lin Huang rejected the suggestion. He still had some self-awareness. Although he had learned a lot of basic detection knowledge in the academy, he was far inferior to Zhou Le, who had the detection skill. He felt that there was no need to stand out in an area that he was not good at. If something happened, he would be the one to be embarrassed.
Seeing that Lin Huang had said so, the others did not jump out. Everyone continued to follow Zhou Le's route.
After walking for about 20 minutes, Lin Huang and the others finally saw a group of monsters in the distance. The group immediately went into hiding.
It was a group of Ox Headed Devils. There were about twenty of them, and the tallest one was more than five meters tall, while the shortest one was about three meters tall. Compared to humans, they could be considered huge creatures.
However, the Ox Devils were not giants. They were mutated beasts. Therefore, unlike giants, their size and strength were not necessarily related.
Like humans, they were creatures that walked upright on two legs. They could also use their hands to grab objects and use weapons. What was different from humans was that they had the head of a cow, their limbs were hooves, and they had a tail.
The Ox Devils were smarter than most iron-level monsters. They even had their own beliefs and knew how to make totems that could increase their combat strength.
Lin Huang and the rest saw the five-meter-tall totem that was protected by the Ox Devils in the center.
"There are a total of 26 of them. They have a belief totem that can increase their combat strength by at least 10%. How do we fight them? "Zhou Le asked softly.
"Make some traps first. After I destroy the totem, they will definitely come after us. We will wait for them here. "As soon as Lin Huang finished speaking, he took out his GrayEagle17 and loaded it with armor-piercing bullets …
