Suppressing his sh*tty feeling, An Lin continued forward.
The python's corpse they left behind would be dealt with by the soldiers tailing them.
In the meantime, they also came across a humongous Sword Back Tiger, a poisonous Rainbow Lizard, and a thirty feet tall Gigantic Rhino.
These ferocious looking beasts were all crushed by An Lin and his team, and they offered no resistance at all.
"Ah... There's not even a single worthy opponent."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Luo Ziping's voice, and he stretched out his muscular body.
"Heh, if we meet a Spirit Beast, then Student Luo can display his full capabilities, " Zong Yongyan chuckled. There was a look of mockery on his face.
"M-hm, when the time comes, Big Brother An can just stand to the side. Let's see how impressive Student Luo really is, " Miao Tian said with a slight frown.
"I approve!" Sun Shenglian nodded as she glanced coldly at Luo Ziping.
After being roasted by three of his teammates, Luo Ziping's face flushed red."Big Brother An, I'm so sorry, " he apologized, "I shouldn't have flexed in front of you!"
An Lin: "..."
What the hell?! What has this got to do with me?
What on earth did I do?!
This was just a small incident, and they continued to traverse through the mountains.
The target was for everyone to slay thirty beasts in half a month.
Distributed amongst the teams, it meant that they only needed to slay ten beasts a day in order to reach this target.
However, the students definitely wouldn't be content with simply reaching the target, because this was the end of year exam. If they could exceed the target, the school would reward them!
Although An Lin didn't care much for the rewards, his teammates were looking forward to it greatly.
Thus, after some discussion, his team decided to set the target for today at twenty beasts!
Soon after, they arrived at a swamp.
There were a lot of mosquitos and poisonous substances here. Both Miao Tian and Sun Shenglian wore a slight frown on their face, and it was clear that they detested this place.
"Big Brother An, why don't we take a detour around here? This place is so foul and vile!"
Miao Tian pouted sulkily and kept waving her hands around, shooing away the mosquitos buzzing around her.
An Lin also felt that it was unnecessary to go through the swamplands and was just about to reply. However, sounds of battle suddenly traveled over from the distant swamplands.
"Eh? There's a battle up ahead, let's go check it out!"
The twenty teams were all assigned different routes.
In principle, they shouldn't have been able to come across any other teams on their route.
Thus, the battle ahead made them quite curious.
Hearing their team leader's words, the other team members all nodded earnestly. Then, they followed behind An Lin and dashed toward the battleground.
Boom!
A ball of flames erupted loudly.
A gigantic, ten feet large blood-sucking mosquito was forced back by the explosion. However, another gigantic mosquito swooped behind a person, its pointy straw-like mouth piercing through his body like a sharp sword.
"Chen De!"
A brawny male dressed in beast hide exclaimed in alarm.
The male's eyes bulged, and his body withered rapidly, almost immediately being sucked dry.
The satisfied mosquito pulled out its sucker and flew into the sky, continuing to survey the six humans on the ground.
On the ground, there were already ten males who had been sucked dry.
In the sky, however, there were still over ten gigantic mosquitos buzzing about...
"Leader, let's flee..."
A sword-wielding male spoke in a shaky voice after witnessing his companions be sucked dry one after another.
"Flee? Can you outrun these mosquitos?" There was a look of fury in the leader's eyes."Even if I die, I'll take a few of these mosquitos down with me!" he exclaimed fiercely.
A blood-sucking mosquito cut through the air, its sharp sucker stabbing toward the hide-dressed male's heart.
"Hi-yah!" The male wielded a battleax in each hand, and he hacked at the gigantic mosquito.
The surrounding vital energy swarmed, and a white glow burst from his battleax, crushing the head of the mosquito.
Right at this moment, two gigantic mosquitos appeared behind him and pierced their suckers into his back!
"Leader!"
The other team members were all engaged in battle with the gigantic mosquitos. Seeing their leader be pierced by a mosquito, they could only cry out in alarm.
Boom!
A golden fist suddenly crushed the two mosquitos behind the hide-dressed male's back.
Buzz...
The gigantic mosquitoes suddenly became agitated, and several of them swooped toward a certain location.
That was where their new enemy was.
However, before they could even launch an attack, a sword flashed past and sliced off the heads of these swooping mosquitos.
A long-haired beauty flicked the blood off her sword and looked coldly at the ten or so mosquitos. She was none other than An Lin's teammate, Sun Shenglian.
Seeing this, one of the mosquitos tried to flee in alarm. Just as it turned around, a flying disc cut out a white arc and sliced its body into two.
Manipulating the flying disc, Miao Tian had it cut toward another gigantic mosquito.
Luo Ziping and Zong Yongyan also joined the battle.
Luo Ziping's punches were ferocious and violent, with each strike sending a gigantic mosquito to its death.
Zong Yongyan lightly fluttered his feathered fan, generating strong gales. The gales entrapped the mosquitoes, then shredded them to death.
"So strong..."
The besieged males exclaimed in admiration as they watched An Lin's team massacre the gigantic mosquitos.
Soon after, the dozen or so mosquitos were all slaughtered.
"Are you alright?" An Lin asked anxiously as he walked up to the hide-dressed male.
This male had his body pierced by the mosquitos, and his wounds were still bleeding profusely.
"I'm fine, 'tis but a scratch! Thank you for coming to our rescue."
There was a look of gratitude on his face, and he bowed toward An Lin's group.
The other males also bowed to express their gratitude. If it wasn't for An Lin and his group, perhaps they would already be corpses at the mosquitos' feet.
An Lin shook his head and chuckled, "All in a day's work! We've been tasked with slaughtering abnormal beasts anyway. Now that we've killed so many at once, our quota for today has been easily reached."
Miao Tian and the others also had a look of satisfaction on their faces. Searching all over the mountains for beasts was far too great a hassle.
Now that so many popped up at once, they were naturally overjoyed.
After a while, a dozen or so armored males appeared behind An Lin and the others.
They cut off the valuable parts of the mosquitos and put them into a storage ring.
"You're students from the Heavenly Court?"
Seeing the familiar cultivator and soldier combination, the brawny male couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Yes, " An Lin nodded. He didn't conceal their identity.
"No wonder you guys displayed such incredible power with just the rank of the Tenth Stage Dao Body. So, it turns out that you're all prodigies of the Kingdom of the Nine States, " the brawny male said in realization.
Then, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I have an offer for you guys. If you guys can complete this task successfully, then I'll give you six ninth-rank immortal fruits. Are you guys interested?"
Immortal fruits?
An Lin's eyes lit up. Although they were the lowest ranked immortal fruits, they were still priceless treasures!
"What's the deal?" An Lin asked.
At the mention of immortal fruits, his teammates also looked toward the brawny male eagerly.
"Our hunting group found a spirit mountain amidst the Myriad Mountain Realm, " the hide-dressed brawny male replied, "on this mountain, there exists a Mysterious Azure Spirit Blood Tree. Bore on this tree are nine immortal fruits.
"It's a pity that this tree is guarded by a Golden-Eyed Monkey King. His presence has meant that we've been unable to get our hands on those immortal fruits. Being as powerful as you all are, why don't you cooperate with us? Once we succeed, I'll give you guys six immortal fruits. What do you say?"
Just a single immortal fruit could cause a dispute between countless cultivators. Nine immortal fruits would definitely cause a sensation throughout the Stone Dragon State.
If it wasn't for An Lin and the others saving them, as well as them being students of the Heavenly Court, they definitely wouldn't have leaked this information to anyone.
"M-hm... How strong is the Golden-Eyed Monkey King?" An Lin rubbed his chin and asked.
"Around the Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage, " the brawny male answered.
In truth, he didn't count on An Lin and the others to defeat the Golden-Eyed Monkey King. As long as they could distract him for a moment, they would be able to snatch away the immortal fruits.
However, An Lin's reply almost made the brawny male and Luo Ziping wet their pants.
"Deal!" An Lin chuckled.
"Luo Ziping is in charge of killing the Golden-Eyed Monkey King, and we'll be in charge of snatching the immortal fruits! Let's go!"
