Chapter 140 Entering the Wilderness, Hurricane Squad

"I am Shen Mengzhu, the captain of Hurricane Squad. Since it's your first time in the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range, are you planning to hunt Beastss alone?"

Seeing that Chu Han did not respond, Shen Mengzhu continued.

"Yes," Chu Han nodded. "That is my plan."

Hearing this, Shen Mengzhu smiled and said, "The Northern Wasteland Mountain Range is exceptionally dangerous with intricate mountain paths. Acting alone is too risky. Join us; hunting in a group is more efficient. Moreover, we are very familiar with the terrain of the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range's outskirts and can help you avoid many dangers."

Shen Mengzhu had a close relationship with the staff here and had already learned that Chu Han's cultivation had reached the 5th Tier Late Stage, so she invited him very warmly.

Chu Han's heart stirred; he indeed did not know much about the environment of the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range's outskirts.

Joining a team would save him these troubles and allow him to quickly find high-tier Beastss by following the team's route.

He remembered that the Two-Winged Demon Wolf was a 6th-rank Beasts with great strength.

Since Shen Mengzhu wanted to hunt the Two-Winged Demon Wolf, the team would inevitably go deep into the mountains.

After a moment's thought, he nodded and agreed, "Alright."

Seeing Chu Han agree, the smile on Shen Mengzhu's face grew even wider. "I don't know your name yet?"

"Chu Han," Chu Han replied flatly.

"Chu Han, then come with me to meet the members of Hurricane Squad."

Thus, Shen Mengzhu led Chu Han out of the registration hall.

They arrived at a gathering spot for a Martial Artist squad of about a dozen people.

The other members of this team were quite strong; the weakest was at the 5th Tier Middle Stage, most were 5th Tier Late Stage and 6th-rank Martial Artists, and there were even four at the 6th rank late stage.

One of the young Martial Artists was as strong as Shen Mengzhu, having reached the 6th Order Peak.

The overall combat power of this team was considered top-tier in this hunting zone.

Aside from a few super teams that had a Grandmaster, they were the strongest.

Shen Mengzhu then introduced Chu Han to the team members: "Let me introduce everyone, this is Chu Han, a top student from Kyoto Martial Arts University. His strength is at the 5th Tier Late Stage, and he will be a member of our squad from now on!"

The team members reacted differently upon hearing this.

"So he's a Genius from Kyoto Martial Arts University, no wonder he's so young."

Most people were quite wary of the reputation of Kyoto Martial Arts University. Although Chu Han was young, his 5th Tier Late Stage strength was considered mid-tier in the squad, so naturally, no one objected.

"The captain has good taste; he's quite a handsome young man," joked another female Martial Artist at the 6th rank late stage.

However, a few people had disdain in their eyes, feeling that Chu Han was too young. Even if he was a student from a prestigious school, his combat experience would surely not compare to Martial Artists like them who had spent years struggling in the wilderness.

One young man, dressed in white martial attire with an arrogant expression, had particularly hostile eyes.

He was the one whose strength was equivalent to Shen Mengzhu's.

He was Qin Feng, the younger brother of the Heavenly Saber Squad's captain, Qin Tian. He had joined the squad to pursue Shen Mengzhu and had always been overbearing, so no one else dared to provoke him.

Because his brother was a Grandmaster-level Martial Artist, the Heavenly Saber Squad's strength was also highly ranked here, and their name was very well-known.

Shen Mengzhu found it difficult to refuse Qin Feng's joining, so she could only pretend not to see his advances.

Seeing Shen Mengzhu so enthusiastic toward Chu Han and hearing that he was a student of Kyoto Martial Arts University, Qin Feng immediately felt a surge of jealousy.

Years ago, he had been rejected by Kyoto Martial Arts University by a mere ten points and had always harbored resentment.

Seeing Chu Han, this Genius from Kyoto Martial Arts University, his pride was wounded, and jealousy and hatred naturally arose in his heart.

"Hmph, so what if he's from Kyoto Martial Arts University?"

Qin Feng sneered, "Wilderness hunting isn't a classroom exam. Cultivation alone is useless. Without experience, you'll die in a Beasts's mouth sooner or later. Don't drag us down when the time comes and expect us to save you."

Chu Han glanced at Qin Feng indifferently and mocked, "Looking at your age, you certainly weren't qualified to enter Kyoto Martial Arts University back then. I don't need to be rescued by a waste."

"What did you say?"

Qin Feng was furious. Chu Han's words accurately hit his sensitive spot. He snarled, "Kid, I hope your mouth is still this tough once we get to the wild."

Hundreds of ways to deal with Chu Han had already flashed through his mind.

If it weren't for the fact that private fighting was prohibited within the supply base, he would have already attacked Chu Han.

Shen Mengzhu frowned slightly and quickly scolded, "Qin Feng, say less! Chu Han was invited by me. We are all teammates and should look out for each other."

Qin Feng immediately changed his attitude and said with a face full of smiles, "As a Senior, I only hope he can gain more experience. I have no ill intentions."

But those familiar with Qin Feng knew that Chu Han was in for some bad luck.

Whenever Qin Feng wanted to deal with someone, he would put on a harmless appearance.

Chu Han didn't care about Qin Feng's hostility at all; to him, Qin Feng was just an ant he could crush at any time.

The team soon set off, heading towards the Two-Winged Demon Wolf's habitat, Yin Feng Valley.

Shen Mengzhu led the way. As expected, she was extremely familiar with the terrain, leading everyone to avoid several Beasts territories and dangerous miasma zones, moving at a very high speed.

Along the way, they encountered many low-tier Beastss, mostly 2nd and 3rd Tier Azure Wolves and Poison Lizards, which were easily killed by the team members.

Chu Han remained silent throughout the journey, only silently observing the surroundings while releasing his Mental Energy to memorize the wilderness environment and the route.

After traveling for about two hours, a wolf howl suddenly came from ahead. Shen Mengzhu's expression tightened. "Careful, it's a pack of Gale Dreadwolves, underlings of the Two-Winged Demon Wolf!"

Before her voice had even faded, over a dozen agile giant wolves rushed out of the dense forest.

These demon wolves were covered in black bristles, over ten meters long, with blood-red eyes and auras all above the 5th Tier. Two of them had even reached the 5th Tier Late Stage, charging straight at the team.

"Move!"

At Shen Mengzhu's command, she was the first to draw her sword. The longsword danced like a red stream of light, instantly piercing the skull of a 5th Tier demon wolf.

The other members also attacked one after another, with the flashes of blades and swords interweaving as they fought the demon wolves.

Although these people's strength was relatively weaker, they fought with great courage and perfect coordination.

They were truly people who lived on the edge in the wilderness year-round; none of them were useless.

On the contrary, Chu Han, the newcomer, did not act, seemingly not yet adapted to the rhythm of combat in the wilderness.

And those two 5th Tier Late Stage demon wolves preferred to attack the weak points of the team, seemingly perceiving Chu Han as the youngest member.

They bypassed Shen Mengzhu and several other 6th-rank Martial Artists, pouncing straight toward Chu Han.

Qin Feng, who was closest to Chu Han, had a cruel smile on his lips. He turned to deal with other demon wolves, showing no intention of helping.

"Chu Han!"

Shen Mengzhu's heart pounded; she hadn't expected Qin Feng to just stand by and watch.

She hurriedly used her movement technique to rush to his rescue.

No matter what, she didn't want this young Martial Artist she had just invited into the team to lose his life.

"Seeking death!"

Seeing the two demon wolves, Chu Han's eyes turned cold, and the flame demon battle saber at his waist was instantly unsheathed.

*Puchi!*

A red light flashed, and the heads and bodies of the two 5th Tier Late Stage demon wolves were instantly separated, falling heavily to the ground.

The entire process was clean and efficient; no one saw clearly how Chu Han had made his move.

The members of the team were all incredibly surprised when they saw this.

A 5th Tier Late Stage demon wolf would take some effort even for a 6th Rank Initial Stage Martial Artist to kill, yet Chu Han had actually killed two in a single strike. This strength was far beyond their imagination.

Shen Mengzhu was also secretly shocked, and her steps to rescue Chu Han came to a halt.

She only knew that Chu Han was at the 5th Tier Late Stage, but she hadn't expected his combat ability to be so formidable. No wonder he dared to come to the wilderness to hunt alone.

Only then did she understand where Chu Han's confidence came from.

Even she hadn't been able to capture any trace of Chu Han's strike just now.

A trace of doubt about Chu Han's strength immediately arose in her heart.

"Could it be that he hid his cultivation?"
