The lightning illuminated the rainy night like it was daytime. The huge Iron Arm Ape's corpse was lying on the left side of Lu An, not even ten feet away, motionless in the rain.
"Kacha!!"
Another bolt of lightning made Lu An, who thought he was seeing things, see the corpse clearly again. He couldn't help but rub his eyes, afraid that he was dreaming!
However, when he confirmed it again, he wasn't that excited. Instead, he started to hesitate. Not because of anything else, but because this was the second mountain of the Gongxu Mountain Range!
If this corpse wasn't in the Gongxu Mountain Range, he would have searched it even if he was heavily injured. Even if he was in the first mountain, he would have searched it thoroughly. But now he was in the second mountain, it was too dangerous!
Looking at the huge wealth in front of him, Lu An's heart was filled with struggle. He wanted to take a look, but he was afraid that he would lose his life.
After a short struggle, Lu An frowned and ran towards the corpse without hesitation! Running in the rainy night, his feet stepped on the puddles and splashed water. Although his whole body was in pain, it didn't affect his pace at all.
He wasn't greedy, he only wanted to see if the crystal core of the Iron Arm Ape still existed. No matter if it existed or not, he would leave immediately!
He was no longer a naive kid who didn't know anything when he first came to the academy three months ago. He knew that the crystal core was extremely important to strange beasts. If that tiger killed the Iron Arm Ape, it definitely wouldn't let go of such a good thing like the crystal core. However, Lu An still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He ran to the side of the Iron Arm Ape's corpse at lightning speed. With a leap, he arrived at the chest of the Iron Arm Ape. A strange beast's crystal core was in the heart. Just by looking here, he would know.
When Lu An saw the chest of the Iron Arm Ape with the help of the dim light, he frowned and his heart sank.
There was a huge hole in the chest of the Iron Arm Ape, and there was a huge gap where the heart was. The heart had disappeared, not to mention the crystal core.
Indeed, from the wound, this Iron Arm Ape had been dead for a period of time. During this period of time, other strange beasts must have passed by. Even if that tiger didn't take it, it would have been taken by other strange beasts. How could he be so lucky?
However, this was only one Iron Arm Ape. Where was the other one?
Lu An looked around but didn't see the other corpse. Although he was very strange, the situation and time did not allow him to continue thinking. He had to leave immediately. Otherwise, if he couldn't leave the Gongxu Mountains before dawn, he would be in great danger!
To be able to survive the battle with the three mystical beasts was already a blessing from the heavens. It was his greatest fortune!
Taking a deep breath, Lu An no longer looked at the Steel Arm Ape's corpse. Leaping over the corpse, he dashed towards the outer perimeter in the rainy night!

Early in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
Starfire Academy slowly awoke, and the students began to walk around the academy. Everything was the same as before, except for one thing.
Hunter Union.
At dawn, the quietness of the Hunter Union was broken and replaced by a fierce clamor. The students passing by also looked over, but when they saw clearly, they were stunned!
Not only were these people covered in dust and grime, but their faces were also covered in bruises. They also looked exhausted from not sleeping for the entire night. At first, there were only two or three people, but later on, more and more people arrived one after another.
Usually, it wasn't a big deal for the Hunter Union to have people return with injuries. However, when someone found out that someone was seriously injured and even had a broken arm, they couldn't help but be shocked!
Someone quickly informed the academy elders, and someone went to find the doctor in the infirmary. For a moment, the tranquility of the academy in the morning was broken. More and more students gathered around. Everyone was pointing at the injured and defeated soldiers, guessing what had happened.
However, the more people who came to the Hunter Union, the more shocked they were. Some of them even had a broken arm, and some were carried back and placed on the ground without any consciousness. When the doctor from the infirmary saw this scene, he was shocked!
Especially when Sun Shaosheng saw this scene, he changed his usual carefree temperament and frowned, quickly treating the injured. His treatment speed was obviously faster than the other doctors, and he specifically picked the seriously injured.
The academy elders arrived one after another. Looking at the miserable wailing on the ground, their expressions were ugly. No matter what, these people were the future pillars of Meteor Trail City, and their strength was close to that of a Celestial Master. Even they couldn't bear such a big accident!
At that moment, an old face that the students were familiar with appeared. It was Elder Jiang Dihan. Although he was mainly in charge of the Body Tempering Tower, his work was extremely easy, so he was also in charge of many daily affairs in the academy. Now that such a big thing had happened, he rushed over immediately.
"What's going on?" Jiang Dihan's face darkened when he saw this, and he roared angrily, "Where's the person in charge? Who can tell me what's going on? "
The injured on the ground who could move looked at each other, not knowing what to say. At that moment, a figure stood out.
"Elder Jiang, I'm the person in charge."
As soon as this was said, the surrounding crowd immediately looked over. When they saw this person, they were stunned again because it was none other than the academy's top student, Lin Tianhao.
"It's you?" Jiang Dihan's expression was slightly surprised. Lin Tianhao's strength and potential were obvious to all, and he was also the academy's focus on nurturing him. Seeing that Lin Tianhao was the person in charge, his expression softened a little, but he still asked sternly, "What's going on?"
Seeing the angry Elder Jiang, Lin Tianhao quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Elder Jiang, please don't be angry. This time, I worked with the Hunter Union's research and hunting team to hunt exotic beasts in the mountains. That's why we ended up like this."
"Exotic beasts?" Jiang Dihan's face darkened when he heard this, and he asked loudly, "What exotic beasts can do this to you? Look at the people lying here, which one of them isn't a Level Eight Celestial Being or above?"
"This …" Lin Tianhao looked troubled, but he still said, "It's two Steel-armed Apes."
"What? Steel-armed Apes? Two of them? " Jiang Dihan's expression changed drastically, and he slapped Lin Tianhao's head, scolding loudly, "Who told you to provoke Steel-armed Apes? That's an exotic beast that's close to Level Two. Do you think you guys can handle it?! "
"Yes, yes, yes …" Lin Tianhao was not angry at all when he was slapped on the head. He quickly nodded and bowed, rubbing his head as he said, "I didn't want to go at first. After all, I have to be responsible for my friends. However, the leader of the research and hunting team kept egging me on, saying how great the Steel-armed Apes were. I couldn't control myself, and that's why I ended up like this …"
As he spoke, Lin Tianhao even sighed, as if he was blaming himself for not being a good person.
As soon as he said this, Jiang Dihan's face darkened immediately. He immediately turned his head to the side and shouted at the members of the research and hunting team who were receiving treatment, "Where's your leader? Ask her to come out! "
Those who were receiving treatment were shocked. They did not know what had happened, and they did not hear Lin Tianhao's words. Dong Hao stood up and said respectfully to Elder Jiang, "Our leader went to save people."
"Save people?" Jiang Dihan's face darkened again, and he shouted, "Save who? Aren't they all here? "
"No …" Lin Tianhao, who was beside him, spoke again. He said carefully, "There are still many people trapped in the Gongxu Mountain Range. We don't even know if they're dead or alive …"
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful aura burst out. Elder Jiang Dihan released a terrifying Divine Origin Energy that pushed Lin Tianhao and the others away in an instant!
"What a great research and hunting team!" Jiang Dihan's face was extremely pale, and his body was even trembling. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. He then shouted at the teachers behind him, "Everyone, follow me to the Gongxu Mountain Range. Hurry up and save people!"
