Chapter 8 Exploration Mission
"I am Geng Jun, a light-elemental mage," a somewhat handsome young man said coldly.
The last man was a middle-aged man with a kind expression on his face. He said, "Young brother, don't take it to heart with Geng Jun. That's just his personality, but he's not a bad person. I almost forgot to introduce myself, hahaha, my name is Xing Lei, they all call me Uncle Xing, a water-elemental mage."
"My name is Mu Yuxin, an ice mage," said a rather attractive woman.
Jiang Han looked at his five teammates, all of whom were older than him, and smiled, saying, "My name is Jiang Han, an ice mage."
"You don't look very old. How old are you today?" Mu Yuxin asked with a smile.
"I...I just turned 16." Jiang Han said, then awkwardly scratched his head.
Fengling giggled when she saw Jiang Han's appearance and said, "Sister Yuxin, don't scare little brother Jiang Han."
"Jiang Han, is it? I hope you're not some complete novice who can't even use magic properly. I don't want to have to save you when I'm in danger," Geng Jun warned coldly.
In his view, Jiang Han was at most a high school student. So what if he was an ice-type? He probably couldn't even use all the basic first-level magic. If they encountered danger, he probably wouldn't be able to help them share the burden, and might even be a hindrance.
Jiang Han frowned upon hearing Geng Jun's words, somewhat displeased with them.
Who does this guy think he is? I'll be able to use level 3 ice magic soon. If it weren't for the fact that I'll be working with you in the future, I would definitely beat you up.
Seeing this, Xing Lei quickly stepped in to mediate, scolding, "Geng Jun, what are you saying? Apologize to Xiao Jiang right now!"
"No need, Uncle Xing. It's normal that people don't know me yet since I just arrived," Jiang Han said magnanimously, waving his hand.
Upon seeing Jiang Han's appearance, Tong Kun's liking for Jiang Han increased significantly. He patted Jiang Han's shoulder and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, Jiang Han, your personality suits my taste, doesn't it? Come on, I'll take you to get the necessary hunter's license."
Jiang Han had some understanding of the hunter's certificate; it was a special certificate that proved Jiang Han's identity as a hunter.
"Jiang Han, let me tell you, this hunter's certificate has quite a few advantages. For example, you can get a lot of discounts when buying certain things from the Hunter's Alliance."
Led by Tong Kun, Jiang Han arrived at the Hunter Alliance counter.
When the customer service representative at the counter saw the handsome Jiang Han, her smile widened even more. She asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, Xiao Liu, this is Jiang Han, a new member of our Bloodfrost Demon Hunting Team. I brought him here to process his hunter's license," Tong Kun said with a smile, rubbing his shiny bald head.
The customer service representative at this counter is surnamed Liu. When accepting or submitting tasks, Tong Kun would sometimes make a few flirtatious remarks.
A few minutes later, after the customer service representative finished processing the hunter's certificate, she smiled and handed it to Jiang Han. She even added a small note inside the certificate with a number written on it, which was presumably the customer service representative's phone number.
"Good lad, you've already hooked up with Xiao Liu so soon. Xiao Liu's pretty good-looking too, why don't you give it a try?" Tong Kun said with a wink after leaving the counter.
Jiang Han handed the small note from the hunter's pass to Tong Kun and said casually, "Here, Brother Tong, take it if you want."
"No, a couple of flirty words are fine, I really don't dare to try it." Tong Kun quickly waved his hand in refusal.
Back in the Bloodfrost Demon Hunting Team's room, Jiang Han quickly bonded with everyone, and even Geng Jun's attitude towards him improved, mainly because he had obtained Xiao Liu's phone number from Jiang Han.
Geng Jun had long harbored feelings for that customer service representative, but his rather aloof personality prevented him from swallowing his pride and asking for her number. The rest of the demon-hunting team tacitly acknowledged this. Jiang Han also learned this during a conversation with Feng Ling, Mu Yuxin, and Yan Bin.
In the afternoon, Tong Kun found a reconnaissance mission: to investigate the unusual Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolves outside the safety barrier. The mission was a bit dangerous, but the commission was high; he could earn 1.5 million commission upon completion.
"What do you think about this reconnaissance mission? Should we accept it or not?" Tong Kun asked, rubbing his bald head.
Yan Bin thought for a moment and said, "Captain, I think if it's not feasible, we should probably not take the mission. This mission is too dangerous; if things go wrong, our entire Bloodfrost Demon Hunting Team could be wiped out."
"The greater the risk, the greater the profit. For this commission of over a million, I think we should accept it," said the more composed Xing Lei.
"Yeah, I think we should give it a try. At worst, we can just retreat if we encounter danger," Geng Jun said indifferently.
Jiang Han thought about exploring the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf, and instead of being afraid, he felt a sense of eagerness.
Seeing Jiang Han's eager look, Feng Ling reached out and tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Jiang Han, you don't understand the terrifying strength of the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolves. Most of our team are only beginner-level mages, with only the captain and Uncle Xing reaching the intermediate level. If we encounter a Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolves, we'll most likely be wiped out."
Mu Yuxin has a younger brother who has been seriously ill since childhood, and every month a lot of money is spent on his treatment.
Mu Yuxin hesitated for a moment, then said, "I also agree to take on this mission. Please understand."
After Mu Yuxin finished speaking, she bowed to the members of the Bloodfrost Demon Hunting Team. Yan Bin sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Fine, let's accept it then."
"Thanks."
After accepting the mission to investigate the unusual movements of the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolves, Jiang Han followed the others and drove a specially made car out of Bo City, arriving in the primeval forest outside the city.
Outside Bo City, in the primeval forest, the trees grow lush and verdant, the ground is covered with weeds, and in the distance, the mountain peaks are staggered and the clouds are thick.
The Bone-Spiked Wolf's den is quite far from Bo City, still outside the Snow Peak Inn. After registering our information at the Snow Peak Inn, we drove out of the inn.
About five or six kilometers after leaving Xuefeng Station, the group got out of the car and hid the specially made vehicle in a place.
After concealing the car, Tong Kun warned, "Alright, everyone stay alert. Let's slowly make our way towards the Bone-Spiked Wolf's Den indicated in the information."
"Yes!" Jiang Han and the others shouted in unison.
In this dense primeval forest, Jiang Han and the Bloodfrost Demon Hunting Team fought their way through thorns and brambles, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
On this day, Jiang Han and the Bloodfrost Demon Hunting Team finally arrived at the location of the Bone Spike Wolf's cave indicated by the information, but there were many one-eyed demon wolves wandering around the cave.
Behind several huge ancient trees, Jiang Han and the rest of the Bloodfrost Demon Hunting Team hid, glancing around the cave every now and then.
Wind Chime looked at the distant cave and sighed, "I'm exhausted. I didn't expect the cave of the Bone-Spiked Wolf to be so far away."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If we alert the nearby one-eyed demon wolves, we'll all be finished here," Mu Yuxin whispered a warning.
They learned from the Hunter's Alliance that the Bone Spike Wolves would go out to hunt for food at certain times, leaving some of the One-Eyed Demon Wolves to guard the nest.
Seeing that it was almost time, Tong Kun whispered, "Move, but be quiet so as not to disturb the roaming one-eyed demon wolf."
The group number is 761655660. Feel free to join if you're interested.
