Just before Chen Chu heard the roar of the giant mountain bear, a group of people in the other direction also heard the roar of the mutant beast.

Five sophomores from Longshan Wu High School stood on the hillside.

Everyone is wearing battle armor, and the armor on the leader is even more gorgeous, made from the scales of a golden unknown creature, exuding a halo of light.

It was obvious that it was an extraordinary armor, with far more powerful defense than ordinary armor.

The burly young man at the head looked into the distance and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The roar shook the mountain and was majestic. The mutant beast is at least level four, and it is expected to be late level four."

Because he killed too many mutant beasts, Zhang Lin roughly estimated the level of the mutant beast through the powerful power contained in the roar.

A smile appeared on the face of the girl in red armor: "I didn't expect to be so lucky today. I encountered a level four mutant beast before I left the Nine Rings Mountains."

The Jiuhuan Mountains stretch horizontally for more than a thousand kilometers, and there are fifty-nine Wugao bases distributed. The distance between the neighboring Wugao bases is only a few dozen kilometers.

Coupled with the fact that tens of thousands of 'geniuses' are hunting vertically deep into the mountains, there are fewer and fewer high-level mutant beasts in the Nine Rings Mountains.

Within 200 kilometers around the base, there are basically first- and second-level ordinary mutant creatures. Only after going three to four hundred kilometers deep into the Nine Rings Mountains can you encounter third-level mutant beasts.

Level 4 mutant beasts are relatively rare in this area. If you want to find mutant creatures above level 5, you have to go further into the Yunwu Mountains.

At the same time, as humans have continued to hunt and kill them over the years, many mutant beasts nearby have become more insidious and cautious.

It is rare to see high-level mutant beasts like this one roaring to declare their territory. Generally, such mutant creatures come from other places.

After discovering that the living environment here is very good, the mutant beast roared to declare its territory, and then...

It will attract martial arts geniuses who go out to practice.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lin, the leader, said in a deep voice: "Let's go over and have a look. If it's later, the mutated beast might be snatched away."

"Yes, let's go."

The other four people nodded and followed Zhang Lin down the mountain in a flash.

Zhang Lin, who is the leader among the five, has the strongest momentum, and his realm is close to its peak in the late Fourth Heaven, followed by two middle Fourth Heavens and two early Fourth Heavens.

Therefore, I didn't take the mutated beast that was suspected to be a late-level four beast to heart.

As geniuses in the second grade of Longshan Martial Arts High School, each of them has refined their weapons into extraordinary warriors and practiced more than two secret techniques.

Coupled with the advanced martial arts and combat skills that he has practiced for two years, his combat power can at least surpass a small level.

Not to mention Zhang Lin, who is famous on the record list. A month ago, he single-handedly killed a late-level fourth-level mutant beast with a trace of king-level blood.

He even used the mutant beast's heart scales and extraordinary materials to refine a set of extraordinary armor.

However, after everyone had rushed down the hillside for several kilometers, the angry roar and screams of the mutated beast came from ahead, and the expressions of several people suddenly changed slightly.

"No, someone got there first."

"Quick, go over and take a look!"

The girl named Tang Tian was the fastest when speaking. She was in the middle of the fourth heaven and surrounded by cyan power, flashing rapidly in the mountains and forests like an afterimage of the wind.

After just a few breaths, he rushed out of the forest, turned around and shouted: "Zhang Lin, that mutated beast is right in front, follow up quickly."

As she spoke, the sound of wind surrounded her body, and her whole body turned into a blue wind shadow that shot up along the rocks, spanning hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

But when she rushed up the hillside, she couldn't help but froze.

In the valley below, I saw the body of a twenty-meter-long mountain giant bear lying quietly on the ground, its huge head and bear paws broken with flesh and blood.

The bright red blood flowing out almost dyed the surrounding ground red.

Next to the corpse of the mutated beast, a figure wearing ordinary dark red armor stood holding a halberd, with black and red light flowing on his body, exuding a heavy aura.

And just when she appeared on the hillside, the figure also looked up.

"What's wrong, Tang Tian..."

As he spoke, Zhang Lin also rushed up the hillside, followed by the other three people behind him, and then they all saw the mountain giant bear that had been killed below.

"Sure enough, someone got there first." Zhang Lin sighed with a little pity.

Ding Chen, another mid-level fourth-level man, looked solemn: "Which martial arts school does this person come from? He is so strong that he killed this mutated beast so quickly."

"It's really strong." The other person nodded.

It only took a minute or two from the time they heard the roar of the giant mountain bear declaring its territory to the time it exploded at a speed of ten kilometers.

The opponent was able to kill him in such a short period of time, and the combat power displayed could not help but make people look at him. The most important thing was that the opponent's aura was also from the fourth level.

Zhang Lin said in a deep voice: "The closest one in this direction is Nantian Wugao, and the one beyond is Langshan Wugao, and there is nothing in between."

"Let's go, this mutated beast already belongs to someone else." After saying this, the group of people prepared to turn around and leave.

As for snatching, this rarely occurs in the alien beast battlefield.

One is that these geniuses have arrogance in their hearts, and if word spreads about robbing other people's trophies, they will have a bad reputation.

Secondly, there are more than a hundred satellites in the sky watching, and the school also has regulations not to kill classmates.

Although the satellites are sometimes inoperable, no one has killed someone for a hundred or two hundred points so far, so there is no need to injure the opponent and snatch the corpse of the mutated beast.

It is easy to form a deadly feud.

Who knows if the genius who was robbed of his trophies will one day explode in cultivation, overtake him, and then seriously injure or even kill someone in revenge?

Therefore, currently the overall atmosphere of martial arts cultivation in Eastern Xia is relatively ‘clean’.

There is no cruelty and cruelty like that of Heisehui. Either you are targeting me, or I am going to suppress you.

However, no one is perfect, and some people are just vicious and evil by nature.

Therefore, after entering the depths of more than a thousand kilometers of mountains, there is no satellite monitoring. After discovering resources, the danger is not only those powerful mutant creatures, but also the people behind you.

At this moment, Chen Chu suddenly said under the valley: "Longshan Wu Gao, Zhang Lin!?"

Obviously his voice was not very loud, but the calm voice spread throughout the valley, causing Zhang Lin and the five of them to stop in their tracks.

Looking back at Chen Chu who was several miles away, Zhang Lin said loudly: "Yes, I am Zhang Lin of Longshan. I wonder which school this classmate comes from?"

Sure enough it was him.

Chen Chu's eyes showed a hint of excitement and he said politely: "Nantian Wugao, Chen Chu, classmate Zhang, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are interested?"

"What proposal?" He said he was asking, but in fact, Zhang Lin already roughly knew the other party's purpose.

Chen Chu said calmly: "I want to compete with classmate Zhang and use this fourth-level peak mutant beast as a bet. If I lose, this mutant beast and the life crystal that may exist in the body will belong to you."

Tang Tian shook his head: "Sure enough, he is another guy who wants to step on Zhang Lin and get the upper hand."

After Zhang Lin entered the 1,000th place in the performance rankings last week, some students from the fourth level of the Longshan Gaowu Base where he was located challenged him.

After all, compared to slowly accumulating points by killing mutant beasts, it is not faster to directly defeat Zhang Lin and get on the scoreboard.

But those classmates were all defeated by Zhang Lin and lost many bets.

Ding Chen looked a little solemn: "I didn't expect this mutant beast to be at the peak of level four. The opponent's combat power is quite strong."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Lin and advised: "Zhang Lin, forget it. There is no need to compete with him for a fourth-level mutant beast."

"Indeed." The other three people also nodded.

For these geniuses, the ranking hanging on the record list is much more precious, or more honorable, than the dozens or hundreds of contributions.

However, Zhang Lin chuckled: "I decided to agree to him."

"What!" The other four people were stunned.

Zhang Lin said slowly: "I already know who this person is, Nan Tian Wugao, Chen Chu. Don't you think this name is a bit familiar?"

After being reminded by Zhang Lin, Tang Tian was slightly startled, and then blurted out: "The one who ranks sixth on the first-year genius list?"

Zhang Lin nodded: "Yes, that's him."

They returned to Longshan Base late last night and did not see the big red characters shining on the big screen at the base.

But later when I went to the cafeteria to eat, I also heard from other students that there was a first-year student who shot straight to sixth place on the genius list.

"It's actually him."

Zhang Feng, who was wearing a red armor, narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that this new student wants to imitate the person named An Fuqing this morning. If you defeat Zhang Lin, you will enter the record list."

"I dare to challenge you. This freshman should be very strong, and his ranking is higher than that of the freshman this morning. He should not be underestimated."

Zhang Lin nodded: "I know, but I am also somewhat interested in him. This is a challenge from the new students to the old students, and I am not weak, am I?"

Yes. The other three nodded slightly.

As geniuses who have practiced for an extra year and been in the alien beast battlefield for more than half a year, their accumulation is far beyond that of a freshman like Chen Chu who has been practicing for half a year.

Especially Zhang Lin, whose cultivation in the late Fourth Heaven was close to its peak was two small realms higher than Chen Chu's.

Coupled with the powerful extraordinary armor, extraordinary weapons, defense and attack have been upgraded to the limit.

In addition, Zhang Lin also spent nearly a thousand contribution points to practice three secret techniques that increase strength, speed, and sword energy to a small degree.

Therefore, even though he is only at the late stage of the fourth heaven, his combat power has already surpassed that of the fifth heaven.

If he hadn't been restricted by his realm, he would have reached the top 500 on the record list.

And this new student broke through to the fourth level in half a year. This speed of cultivation made them envious, but they would have to fight to know if he could beat Zhang Lin.
