406: Ellie's first hunting trip

Aylin looked at Hunting Team Six, who were already 'fully dressed' and waiting.

There were five people in total, and Chen was among them.

The other four looked to be between 27 and 28 years old, and the captain was around thirty, appearing much more composed and mature than the others.

When this Hunting Captain saw Leader Qing approaching with Aylin behind him, he knew Aylin was the newcomer joining his hunting team today.

He didn't expect the newcomer Leader Qing brought to be that outsider?

That outsider actually wants to join the hunting team? This kind of work isn't easy... And generally speaking, a hunting team only takes one 'newcomer'; they already had Chen as a newcomer, and the Leader wanted to squeeze in another one.

He remembered that Teams Five and Four didn't have any newcomers.

"This is Aylin, and from now on, she will be a member of Team Six!" Leader Qing said to the Hunting Captain.

"Alright!" Although the Hunting Captain didn't quite understand, since it was a decision made by the Leader, he didn't say much more.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Leader Qing nodded, then glanced at Aylin before turning and leaving.

"Hello, Aylin, welcome to Hunting Team Six! From today onwards, I am your captain. My name is Bai." Bai said to Aylin, then introduced each team member to Aylin.

Finally, pointing to Chen, he said to Aylin: "He is Chen, like you, he is also a newcomer in our team.

Now everyone understands the situation of the hunting team; we are six people in total, two of whom are newcomers.

We understand Chen's situation; although he is a newcomer, he still has strength, but he lacks experience in this area, so he should pick things up quickly.

As for you, Aylin... to be honest, it's my first time leading a female team member; of course, I don't mean anything else.

I just don't know what your current strength is like? Do you have the strength of a Three-rank Warrior?" Bai asked Aylin.

Aylin also knew how the ranking system of this world worked.

It was very vague, but generally, there was a related division: Three-rank Warrior - Two-rank Warrior - First Class Warrior - Grand Warrior - Brave Warrior - Power Warrior.

Why is the ranking system in this world relatively vague? One reason is that although there are related divisions, the boundaries of these divisions are very blurry, yet there is still a bottom line.

For example, to become a Three-rank Warrior, your strength must exceed one ton, and it must be single-arm strength, and it must be pure strength, not the strength of an attack, which is another matter.

And for a Two-rank Warrior, the strength must exceed ten tons; for a First Class Warrior, it's fifty tons; for a Grand Warrior, it's over one hundred tons.

If you have seven or eight tons, you are still within the scope of a Three-rank Warrior.

Moreover, there are various influencing factors within this, as this world, although focused on body tempering, is not simply about who has greater strength, nor is it purely about comparing strength.

There are also cultivation methods and various martial arts techniques.

And there is also the existence of energy, though this energy is called 'Qi-Blood Power'.

It can be said to be a kind of auxiliary, yet complementary, energy produced by a powerful physical body.

In short, the strength in this world is not bad; it's just that the system is singular and incomplete, not mature enough, and relatively chaotic.

So, rank is one thing, and combat power is another, making the overall system seem quite chaotic.

Furthermore, people in this world, due to their uniqueness, cannot perceive, so without fighting, they simply don't know how strong the opponent is.

As for whether she had the strength of a Three-rank Warrior, Aylin certainly did.

"Of course!" Aylin didn't know how strong she was, after all, when it came to physical strength, although it wasn't Aylin's strong suit, her physical body was not bad either!

It's just that she had always used a sword, and now that she possessed so many different powers, Aylin herself didn't know what level she would be at based purely on her physical body.

But a mere Three-rank Warrior, Aylin certainly had that level of strength.

"Hmm, that's very good!" Bai raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard Aylin admit she had the strength of a Three-rank Warrior.

You should know that in the Greenwood Tribe, the most powerful Leader Qing is a First Class Warrior.

And he, Bai, is only a Two-rank Warrior.

But don't be fooled by 'just' being a Two-rank Warrior; in the Greenwood Tribe, he is one of the top powerhouses.

After all, the Greenwood Tribe is not a large tribe; it doesn't even have cultivation methods or 'Wisdom Warriors'.

Its population is only so large.

How strong could it be?

Moreover, apart from those large tribes, the Greenwood Tribe is actually already very strong.

After all, there are eight Two-rank Warriors alone, and there are eight hunting teams, plus dozens of Three-rank Warriors; ordinary tribes, even if they have Two-rank Warriors, only have a few.

Among tribes of the same level, this tribal level generally refers to population, because the stronger a tribe is, the larger its population naturally is, and the more people there are, the more resources are needed to support their survival, which naturally requires stronger power, a larger hunting range and search area, and a larger territory.

These are all a series of chain reactions.

And the Greenwood Tribe, at its current scale, is already considered T2 (second tier) or even T1 (first tier) among tribes of the same level.

"That's fine, everyone get ready, we're about to set off!" Bai nodded. Since both newcomers were Three-rank Warriors, even if their strength was poor, they were at least warrior-level, and wouldn't be too much of a hindrance in combat.

After all, in his team, besides him, the other three 'veterans' were also Three-rank Warriors.

No wonder the Leader gave both newcomers to him; it seems they can't be considered 'pure newcomers,' because even though they lack experience, their strength is at least there.

"Hmm, it's your first time, you didn't prepare much, it's okay." Bai glanced at Aylin and said, "Remember to bring a herb pouch in the future. Today is fine since it's your first time, but remember it next time."

These herb pouches were the bags hanging on both sides of everyone's waists, mainly used to collect medicinal herbs, wild vegetables, and the like encountered along the way.

These were all resources, whether cultivation resources or survival resources, and needed to be carried; one more person meant two more bags.

In short, the larger the hunting team, the better it certainly was.

"Okay! I'll remember that!" Aylin nodded repeatedly, then followed along, leaving the Greenwood Tribe to begin today's hunt outside.

Their hunting range was very large, at least several hundred kilometers in radius.

This was a deep forest, and there were also mountains nearby, primarily mountainous forests.

So, resources were very abundant.

This was also why the Greenwood Tribe could reach such a scale; although 'isolated from the world,' resources were abundant, and while development was slow, it was indeed constantly progressing, and population growth was basically accumulated over 'time.'

And Aylin, following along on her first outdoor hunt, found it quite novel.

Chen, on the other hand, moved closer to Aylin.

"Hey, how did you end up joining the hunting team too! And what a coincidence! You're in the same team as me!" Chen whispered to Aylin.
