The next morning.
Zhang Mo was too lazy to cook, so he went into a breakfast shop.
Now that he was wealthy, he ordered five pounds of ferocious beast meat-filled buns and three bowls of pulled noodles.
As his martial arts realm deepened, his appetite also grew, and even ordinary meat could no longer satisfy his needs. Only ferocious beast meat could provide higher energy.
This was one of the reasons why martial artists spent a lot of money.
This breakfast alone cost him hundreds of yuan.
A moment later!
The steaming buns and pulled noodles were served.
Zhang Mo devoured them, eating bun after bun and noodle after noodle.
Meanwhile!
He also took out his Hunter's License and browsed the information.
Yesterday's incident had given him a sense of crisis.
So he had to accumulate more lifespans just in case.
Soon!
Zhang Mo found the information he needed.
“More than ten people have been killed in the North City District 39, and even more have gone missing. Even some martial artists have been victims, which could be the result of beast chaos.”
“I know, even official Beast Hunters have gone there, but there have been no follow-up reports. They’re probably gone.”
Looking at the information.
Zhang Mo stuffed a bun into his mouth, his eyes flickering slightly.
North City District 39, a remote area near the city walls. It was reasonable for beasts to appear there.
“What to do, is anyone willing to take on this task?”
“Don’t be ridiculous, the official Beast Hunters have gone missing, I'm just an apprentice, I dare not join in on this.”
Looking at the discussion under the task, Zhang Mo finished the last bun and pulled noodle, and chose to accept the task.
Because there were limited Beast Hunters.
Once someone accepted a task.
Unless there was no follow-up report within the specified time, no other hunter would compete for the task.
...
North City District 39!
Compared to the city center, the buildings here were much more dilapidated.
On a street, several law enforcement officers were examining a skeleton without any flesh.
“Brother Wang, although we’re not sure who this person is, judging from the bones, he was a martial artist who had entered the realm.”
One person said with a grim expression:
“He probably died at the hands of a beast.”
“Damn it, why don’t we have the ability to hunt beasts?”
Wang Fu Gui sighed: “There’s nothing we can do, although the Bureau has the Qi-Searching Art, not everyone can cultivate it.”
They were just from the North City Branch, and they didn’t even have a few martial artists who had entered the realm.
Moreover, sometimes, some special martial arts were simply unreasonable when it came to talent.
The Qi-Searching Art was one of them, although it didn’t require entering a realm, it was extremely difficult.
At this moment, Wang Fu Gui saw a student-like person trying to cross the 警戒线 (warning line), and was about to step forward to stop him, but then he froze slightly.
He saw the person taking out a license from his pocket.
Official Beast Hunter?
And so young.
Wang Fu Gui, who had a sudden realization, immediately saluted him and said:
“Greetings, Sir.”
Official Hunters were very rare in a city, and even in Great Xia, they had the same status as the chief of the law enforcement team.
“Hmm!”
Zhang Mo nodded, stepped into the 警戒线 (warning line), and looked at the bones on the ground. He immediately used the Qi-Searching Art and then showed a look of understanding.
The beast’s aura was very strong.
The law enforcement officers’ judgment was correct.
No one had confused things and faked the beast’s killing.
Seeing Zhang Mo’s expression, Wang Fu Gui asked in a low voice:
“Sir, have you found anything?”
“It didn’t kill this person long ago, I can find it.”
Zhang Mo pulled Wang Fu Gui and got into the nearby law enforcement vehicle.
Although it had already run very far.
But his Qi-Searching Art had reached perfection, and he could still catch the beast’s scent.
However, the scent would become fainter with time, so he had to be quick.
The car soon started.
Seeing Zhang Mo’s calm expression beside them, a few people felt inexplicably uneasy. One of them whispered:
“Brother Wang, are we really going to find a beast?”
“The previous Beast Hunter is missing.”
Wang Fu Gui glared at them and said: “Shut up, do you want to lose your jobs, don’t talk so much.”
Hearing this, everyone stopped talking, but they became even more uneasy.
Even Wang Fu Gui secretly muttered to himself.
After all, Zhang Mo was too young and didn't seem very reliable.
......
Industrial area!
This place was very remote, even in District 39.
A large number of factories stood here, looking somewhat cluttered.
At this moment!
Zhang Mo had already gotten out of the car and was looking at the warehouse in front of him, overgrown with weeds and seemingly abandoned for a long time.
Wang Fu Gui and the others, who were nervous, followed closely behind, nervously taking out their weapons.
“Sir, do you have any plans?”
Wang Fu Gui swallowed hard and whispered to Zhang Mo.
“Plans?”
Zhang Mo smiled and said:
“The plan is to just charge in.”
The moment he finished speaking, Zhang Mo had already stepped forward and kicked open the door of the warehouse.
In an instant!
An incredibly strong smell of blood rushed towards them.
They saw that besides some dilapidated large boxes, there were also piles of bones everywhere in the warehouse.
And in other places, beasts with upright bodies and appearances similar to 穿山甲 (pangolins) were lying or sitting in the warehouse.
“N...Nine beasts?”
Seeing everything in the warehouse, Wang Fu Gui and the others’ faces turned pale.
What had District 39 done to deserve a beast lair?
Especially the beast in front of them, sitting on a large box, with a huge scar on its face.
It was almost eight feet tall, its scales all over its body shimmered, and the vicious aura it emitted was beyond their imagination.
“Good!”
Zhang Mo looked at the nine beasts, his eyes already burning with excitement.
Five were first-rank, three were second-rank, and the obvious leader was definitely third-rank.
What’s good about this?
Hearing Zhang Mo’s words, Wang Fu Gui and the others were completely dumbfounded.
Was this official Beast Hunter crazy? They were going to die here, weren’t they?
Wang Fu Gui opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Zhang Mo to retreat, but he saw that the other party was already walking slowly, stepping into the warehouse.
