Chapter 260 Hunting Alien Beasts
At this moment, Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan walked into the restaurant.
Suddenly, Feng Shuangshuang stopped and said, "Wait? Isn't that Chen Lie's cousin? And who's that person having dinner with?"
Lu Qingchan looked up and, sure enough, saw a beautiful girl with a high ponytail and fish whiskers opposite Chen Lie. She immediately gasped.
Feng Shuangshuang walked up and greeted Chen Lie, "Cousin!"
"It's Shuangshuang." Chen Lie looked up at Feng Shuangshuang.
Feng Shuangshuang's expression remained unchanged, but she couldn't help but secretly grumble to herself.
That brat really knows how to play the part. In front of his elders, he can still respectfully call me "Sister Shuangshuang," but in normal circumstances, he always calls me by my full name.
However, Feng Shuangshuang had long lost all authority in front of Chen Lie and could only silently endure it.
"Hmm? Cousin? Chen Lie is your cousin?" Ruan Liusu glanced at Feng Shuangshuang and asked in confusion.
Feng Shuangshuang nodded: "You are—"
"My name is Ruan Liusu, from Jiangsu Province, and I'm friends with Chen Lie!"
Ruan Liusu paused for a moment before introducing herself to Feng Shuangshuang.
Southern Jiangsu Province? It seems to be a province in the southeast of Blue Star. Provinces in the southeast are almost all top-ranked provinces in martial arts on Blue Star. How did Chen Lie come to know it?
Feng Shuangshuang, though puzzled, didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she introduced herself: "My name is Feng Shuangshuang, and I'm from Dongchuan Province."
"Oh, is this your friend? Would you like to sit down and have some dinner together?"
Ruan Liusu glanced at Lu Qingchan behind Feng Shuangshuang.
"No, no need—"
Lu Qingchan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly replied.
She recognized the clothes Ruan Liusu was wearing; they were the standard uniform of the Jiangsu Province Genius Team.
It is obvious that Ruan Liusu is a martial arts genius from the Sunan Province Genius Group, a person who is far more outstanding than himself.
In front of Chen Lie, she couldn't help but compare herself to Ruan Liusu, and then felt inferior to her.
"We just arrived, are you almost done eating? We'll just find a place anywhere," Feng Shuangshuang said.
With that, she waved to Chen Lie and then went to the restaurant window to get her food.
After finishing their meal, Ruan Liusu and Chen Lie left the shelter restaurant together and waved goodbye.
The following day, downstairs in the dormitory building where Dongchuan Province students were staying, more than one hundred specially recruited students from Dongchuan Province were divided into two groups and lined up neatly.
The two groups were led by Song Yixuan and Wang Dongting, and Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiuer, respectively.
Including the members of the genius group, a total of 130 specially recruited students will leave the sanctuary to hunt alien beasts.
Before leaving, Chen Lie instructed Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan: "You two are only responsible for tracking the task completion rate."
"Once the mission is halfway complete, I will personally take you two out of the shelter to fight the alien beasts."
Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan both nodded and said "Mmm".
Chen Lie led his group to the entrance and exit of the shelter, where they saw many special students from other provinces also walking out of the shelter.
At that moment, a staff member from the shelter's entrance approached Chen Lie and asked, "Is this your first time leaving the shelter since you've just arrived in this new province?"
"Yes!" Chen Lie nodded.
"Register your province, and then each person can come and collect a Beast Radar."
Luo Zhixun stepped forward and asked, "What is a Beast Radar?"
"Advanced instruments for detecting alien beasts, worn on the wrist, can detect alien beasts within a two-kilometer radius."
Tier 1 beasts are represented by white dots, Tier 2 beasts by blue dots, and Tier 3 beasts by red dots.
"The alien beast radar can also record the number of alien beasts killed in real time," the staff member explained.
"So that's how it is."
Luo Zhixun nodded.
Chen Lie went to the window and began registering his information.
The information registration was completed in a short while.
One hundred and thirty students admitted through special admissions programs in Dongchuan Province were each given a Beast Radar.
Chen Lie also put the Beast Radar on his wrist and saw that there were several white dots representing first-tier beasts on the screen, but no blue dots representing second-tier beasts or red dots representing third-tier beasts.
Just as they were about to leave the shelter, Yun Chuan and Xi Chuan's special admission students also arrived at the shelter's entrance and exit.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, Ji Lingxuan, who was leading the team, immediately waved and greeted him: "Chen Lie, are you also getting ready for a mission?"
"Yes!"
Ji Lingxuan said, "The overall strength of the students admitted through the special admissions program in our province is stronger. If you need any help, you can tell me."
"Okay, if there's any need, I won't hesitate." Chen Lie nodded.
After responding, Ji Lingxuan went inside to register her information.
Shen Miaowei stepped forward and nodded slightly to Chen Lie: "Mr. Chen Lie!"
Chen Lie greeted Shen Miaowei and said a few words.
Then, he addressed the group of specially recruited students from Dongchuan Province: "Everyone, come out of the shelter with me. This is your first time at the military training ground, so don't separate into two groups!"
Chen Lie walked first, followed by the other two groups, as they left the shelter.
As soon as Chen Lie stepped out of the shelter, he saw a warning sign.
The warning sign reads: "The area within one kilometer of the shelter is a relatively safe zone. Special admissions students with a blood energy level below 4000 calories should exercise caution and stay at least 10 kilometers away from the shelter."
Before long, all the specially admitted students from Dongchuan Province emerged from the shelter.
Apart from the members of the genius group, all the other specially recruited students were carrying a ray gun.
"Everyone, follow Captain Chen Lie's instructions and move forward slowly."
Luo Zhixun gave a brief instruction to the special recruits in her group, and then followed Chen Lie forward.
After walking for about ten minutes, the group finally walked out of the relatively safe red line of the one-kilometer zone.
At that moment, Wei Ranran suddenly shouted from behind, "There's a strange beast there!"
Everyone looked ahead and saw a huge, wolf-like or leopard-like beast baring its fangs and roaring as it charged toward them.
"It's a Tier 1 mutated beast. Genius Training Camp trainees evacuate; the rest of the team, prepare for battle!"
Chen Lie immediately ordered the weaker trainees of the genius training camp to spread out, allowing those at the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm and those with Qi and Blood Values exceeding 2,000 to go forward, while he himself was responsible for holding the line to prevent any casualties.
Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er flew forward and engaged in a fierce battle with the strange beast.
Luo Zhixun, standing directly in front of the strange beast, instantly unleashed a set of S-rank martial arts, the Prajna Palm.
With a wave of her hand, a red light flashed, and immense force descended continuously.
The sound of "Boom!" echoed continuously as immense force erupted.
The beast's skin was instantly torn open.
"roar!"
Driven by pain, the beast went berserk, letting out a deafening roar that echoed for ten kilometers around before charging toward Luo Zhixun.
The beast lunged at Luo Zhixun, but she dodged instantly, causing the beast to miss its target.
With a "crack," the ground, slammed down by the beast's immense force, instantly formed a deep crater.
The beast didn't pounce on Luo Zhixun; instead, it turned around, roared again, and charged at her.
Because of the intense battle with the alien beast, Luo Zhixun's physical strength was rapidly depleted. In just two minutes, she felt exhausted.
At this moment, Tang Jiu'er and the five members with over 2,000 kilocalories of health each stepped forward to fight off the alien beast and help Luo Zhixun share the burden.
The other, weaker members of the genius group also joined in, attacking the alien beasts. Among the evacuated genius training camp students, some also used ray guns to attack.
Looking ahead, there were dozens of people ganging up on a strange beast.
After nearly an hour of attack, the beast finally died under the combined assault of Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er, collapsing to the ground.
The first beast was successfully hunted down, and the special students who had been besieging the beast all showed joy, but their physical strength was severely depleted.
Especially Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er, who were facing the main force of the alien beasts head-on, were feeling their strength waning.
"Finally, the hunt was successful. A strange beast was hunted down."
"But this beast is too difficult to hunt! Dozens of people worked together, but it still took half an hour," Tang Jiu'er said.
Luo Zhixun also felt heavy-hearted. Hunting a single beast had taken so much effort; completing the military training mission would probably be difficult.
"Look! There's another strange beast, even bigger than the last one!"
At this moment, Jiang Mingyue, from Luo Zhixun's group, pointed ahead and shouted.
A strange beast, nearly ten meters long and covered in scales, appeared in the distance.
Chen Lie said, "Your group should rest for a bit and try to recover your strength. This time, let Wang Dongting and Song Yixuan practice."
A strange beast resembling an alligator snapping turtle roared as it charged toward Dongchuan Province.
Wang Dongting's expression shifted, and he said to the team members behind him, "Don't be nervous, everyone. This beast looks slow-moving, but if we're agile, we can wear it down!"
As Wang Dongting spoke, he leaped up, jumping dozens of meters in a single bound, instantly closing in on the strange beast.
"Extreme Yang True Martial Fist!"
Wang Dongting's blood surged, and he instantly unleashed several punches at the alligator snapping turtle.
The fist, imbued with immense force, struck the strange beast, yet it showed no reaction whatsoever and continued to move forward.
"How can this beast have such strong defense?"
Someone exclaimed in surprise.
The wolf-like and leopard-like beast that Luo Zhixun had struck a few times had at least broken its surface flesh, but this alligator turtle, which had been hit by Wang Dongting's punches, was completely unharmed.
A trainee from a nearby genius training camp shot the alien beast with a ray gun, but it didn't leave any mark on the beast's body.
"We can't break through this beast's defenses at all!"
Song Yixuan stepped forward and struck the beast with a light and agile palm strike.
At this moment, many geniuses with high Qi and Blood values surrounded the beast and began to attack it.
After Song Yixuan finished performing her set of palm techniques, she took two steps back, strategically retreating like the others.
Seeing this, Chen Lie immediately said, "Song Yixuan, don't slack off!"
Song Yixuan stuck out her tongue and said helplessly, "With a big team leader like you supervising here, how could I dare to slack off?"
After speaking, Song Yixuan once again confronted the strange beast, this time using her palm technique with much more seriousness than before.
"Everyone, focus your attacks on the beast's head. I refuse to believe that this beast truly possesses a body of steel," Wang Dongting urged.
The situation was the same as before: dozens of people were besieging a strange beast, and they were all focusing on the beast's head.
Because the beast moved slowly, the group attacked steadily for nearly half an hour. Finally, Wang Dongting broke through the beast's defense with a single punch, and the alligator turtle's skull was dented.
Amidst the beast's roars, everyone fiercely attacked the parts of the beast that had breached its defenses.
Finally, the second beast was hunted down.
The members of Wang Dongting's group all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are the alien beasts really that hard to kill? At this rate, we can only hunt five or six alien beasts a day at most, which is far from enough to complete the military training mission of hunting 360 beasts."
"Perhaps our technique is too clumsy; it should be fine in a couple of days."
Because of hunting this alligator snapping turtle, the members of Wang Dongting and Song Yixuan's team were also severely exhausted.
At that moment, a black shadow with incredible speed suddenly appeared and rushed towards the special students from Dongchuan Province.
"There's another strange beast. I recognize this one; it seems to be a giant ape."
The Giant Ape is not only incredibly strong, but also extremely fast, making it very difficult to deal with.
"What should we do? We just hunted down two strange beasts, and we've used up a lot of our strength."
Amidst the discussions among the special recruits from Dongchuan Province, Chen Lie summoned Luo Zhixun, Tang Jiu'er, Wang Dongting, and a group of people with a blood energy value of over 2,000 calories.
"To hunt exotic beasts, you must be fast, accurate, and ruthless. You must choose the weakest part of the beast and fight it out by wearing it down. Who can outlast an exotic beast on their own?"
I'll demonstrate the methods for hunting exotic beasts to you. Watch carefully!
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he rushed towards the giant ape that was charging towards him.
The giant ape, standing upright and nearly seven meters tall, saw Chen Lie and immediately let out a shout before slamming a heavy punch at him.
Chen Lie leaped up, dodging the giant ape's punch. Looking back, he saw that the ground, spanning dozens of square meters, was cracked from the giant ape's blow.
A loud "boom" rang out.
Amidst the crowd, Liu Wanwan couldn't help but ask, "Captain, can you handle such a powerful and fast beast all by yourself?"
The giant ape missed its punch, then began pounding its chest with both arms, roaring to the sky, and lunged at Chen Lie again.
Chen Lie leaped upwards, delivering a punch with a force of nearly 20,000 jin (approximately 10,000 tons) that slammed heavily into the giant ape's face.
The giant ape roared in fury, its massive arms slamming down on Chen Lie repeatedly.
After dodging all the attacks, Chen Lie jumped onto the giant ape's shoulder and threw a punch.
"boom!"
A loud crash was heard, and the giant ape fell to the ground.
Chen Lie punched through the neck of the giant ape.
The members of the genius team were shocked.
Tang Jiu'er exclaimed in surprise, "It took us so long to deal with just one beast, and Chen Lie took it down in less than half a minute! Is there really such a big difference between him and us now?"
Wang Dongting and Luo Zhixun were also shocked, but Song Yixuan remained calm and composed, as if it were the natural course of things.
Chen Lie successfully hunted down a strange beast and returned to the group.
"Did you all see that clearly? When hunting exotic beasts, you must strike at their vital points and end the battle quickly. You also need to choose your targets carefully. Take that alligator turtle from earlier, for example. Its defense was astonishing, even stronger than that of a typical second-tier exotic beast. Choosing such a beast as your target would be asking for trouble."
"Captain Chen, aren't you making it sound too easy? We don't have your kind of strength," said a member of the genius team.
Chen Lie said, "While hunting exotic beasts is related to strength, it's not that much. Rather, it's more about hunting techniques and experience."
If we're really talking about it, with so many of you working together, your strength is no less than mine, yet you still wasted so much effort. Why?
This is naturally due to your clumsy methods of hunting exotic beasts.
Luo Zhixun then asked, "Captain, your skills in hunting alien beasts are so exquisite, do you have prior experience?"
In front of so many people, Luo Zhixun naturally couldn't call Chen Lie by his name directly in order to maintain his authority, so she addressed him as "Captain".
"I do have experience, but I won't go into details about where that experience comes from."
Next, I will provide you with systematic training to ensure that you can successfully hunt the alien beasts without any casualties.
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he let the group of specially admitted students rest for a while.
After resting, Chen Lie asked everyone to advance two kilometers.
Lu Qingying raised her hand and said, "Captain Chen, this area is relatively safe if we step back a little. If we move forward two kilometers, the density of the monsters will increase exponentially. Wouldn't that be too unsafe?"
Lu Qingchan smiled and nodded when she saw Chen Lie's gaze sweep over her.
She's not stubborn. Chen Lie is now the top martial arts champion in three provinces. Even if there's a huge grudge, she should bow her head and admit defeat when necessary.
During military training, Chen Lie's will is an ironclad rule. If anyone goes against Chen Lie, no one can save her.
Apart from the four genius team members who have reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, Chen Lie has the ability to cause anyone else to die while fighting against the alien beasts.
After glancing at Lu Qingying, Chen Lie said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will be in danger."
As soon as he released the trace of the aura of a giant star beast that he had cultivated from his dragon tendons and jiao bones, low-level exotic beasts within a radius of 500 meters would instinctively avoid him.
Fourth-tier beasts are unlikely to be affected by the image of dragon tendons and serpent bones. However, there are probably no fourth-tier beasts in this military training ground, unless the front-line troops are not well-guarded and a fourth-tier beast sneaks in.
"Everyone, trust the captain, listen to him, and advance two kilometers!"
Luo Zhixun said to the team members.
After all the specially admitted students lined up neatly, they began to move away from the shelter and advance two kilometers.
About twenty minutes later, Chen Lie led the special students from Dongchuan Province to a place three kilometers away from the shelter.
There were more alien beasts here than at the edge of the relatively safe zone. The alien beast radar on Chen Lie's wrist detected many white dots representing first-tier alien beasts in the surrounding area.
In this same place, students admitted through special programs from other provinces are also forming teams to hunt strange beasts.
The increase in the number of strange beasts in the surrounding area means that the special admissions students may face the danger of being attacked by multiple strange beasts at the same time.
As soon as the students admitted through the special admissions program from Dongchuan Province arrived, a giant lion-like beast approached them.
Chen Lie immediately ordered Wang Dongting and Song Yixuan's group to intercept them.
For almost the entire day, Chen Lie taught a dozen or so highly skilled special recruits from Dongchuan Province how to accurately and concisely hunt alien beasts.
A person who can reach this level in martial arts in Dongchuan Province is naturally not stupid. Under Chen Lie's guidance, he gradually mastered the essence of hunting exotic beasts.
Either group, with two members at the Qi Extreme Realm and five members with over 2,000 Qi and Blood Points working together, can hunt down a beast in just over ten minutes.
Hunting exotic beasts is extremely physically demanding. Every two beasts a group kills, they must rest for at least half an hour before another group takes over and protects the resting group from being attacked by the beasts.
Throughout the day, under Chen Lie's hands-on guidance, both groups hunted down nine strange beasts. In addition, Chen Lie hunted down five strange beasts on his own for demonstration purposes, bringing the total number of strange beasts hunted on the first day in Dongchuan Province to 24.
This number of kills can be described as a remarkable achievement.
In the end, both groups were completely exhausted and had no energy left.
One member couldn't help but say, "I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted. Hunting these beasts is too hard, I can't fight them anymore."
"We can't stay here any longer if we're out of energy. We need to get back to the shelter immediately. These strange beasts are appearing frequently here; it's too dangerous. We can't stay here any longer."
Luo Zhixun found Chen Lie and said, "Captain, many people are too weak to continue. Should we go back to the shelter?"
"Let's rest here for a while before going back to the shelter," Chen Lie said.
"Rest here? But there are too many strange beasts here, isn't it unsafe?" Luo Zhixun frowned.
"Don't worry about that, just rest here!"
As Chen Lie spoke, he no longer concealed the dragon tendons and dragon bones he had cultivated, and a trace of the aura of a giant star beast spread out in all directions.
