The destination this time has already been decided, and we will go to the Wolong Mountains. In the memory of Heather's previous life, the name of this place was very familiar. It was a nature reserve. Now it has become a gathering area where monsters are rampant.
There are many monster-dense areas across the country, and there are more than thirty monster-dense areas in Shuchuan Province alone. These places are naturally very dangerous, so the military has long blocked these areas, and it is impossible to enter without a military pass.
It only takes a few months for an ordinary monster to grow from birth to adulthood, and their life span is very long, and their reproductive ability is also super strong, and they can give birth to about ten animals in one litter. In areas where monsters are densely populated, they can develop freely. When they reach a certain number, they will begin to expand their territory outside the blocked area.
In order to ensure smooth roads and prevent the city from being attacked by monsters, the military conducts an encirclement and suppression campaign every year in areas with dense concentrations of monsters under its jurisdiction. Even so, some monsters will still break out of the blocked areas.
In fact, not only the military, but sometimes local governments will organize cultivators to hunt in them. Many parts of the monster's body are very useful. For example, the armor made of the fur of some monster beasts is better than alloy. Of course, most parts of a monster's body are no different from ordinary animals. Generally, there are only two or three useful parts of a monster that are special materials.
There are also a lot of medicinal materials in areas where monsters are densely populated. These medicinal materials are not comparable to those cultivated artificially. Of course, the yield of cultivated medicinal materials is high and it is also the main channel used by humans.
However, most cultivators who go hunting in dense areas will not use the good medicinal materials collected directly, but will choose to sell them to a certain company or research institution for cultivation.
The Wolong Base is a military base set up by the Shuchuan Military Region of China to defend against monsters in the Wolong Mountains. The entire Wolong Base has eight camps set up around the Wolong Mountains. Each camp is set up on a certain mountain peak. These eight camps surround the entire Wolong Mountains. It formed a large formation. This time, the destination of the Lingban of Miancheng No. 1 Middle School was Camp No. 3. The entire Camp No. 3 was built on a peak called Guidao Peak.
…
The bus drove on the Guandao Expressway for nearly two hours and finally exited at the intersection with Wolong Mountains written on it and entered a muddy mountain road. Mountain forests appeared in everyone's sight outside the car window.
Heather looked out the window at the looming mountains, one after another rushing to the scene and whizzing away in the blink of an eye. Like a fantasy scroll flowing frame by frame, there are always unexpected surprises appearing in the distance, such as the roaring giant bird hovering on the mountain top, or the tall tree with leafy branches reaching into the sky. It is very interesting to the students who have lived in the cramped space of the city since childhood. It is undoubtedly a surprise.
The students in the carriage were discussing enthusiastically and exclaiming from time to time.
"Look, that's the Thunderbird!" someone exclaimed.
"Wow! The yellow feathers all over the body, as well as the thunder and lightning in the corner of the eye, can be seen clearly from such a distance, it must be too big!"
"The three feathers on its tail are so long and beautiful!"
"Did you see that big tree? It is said that it is the dragon's perch!"
"The dragon really lives up there?"
"This classmate, the divine dragon is just a kind of monster. The dragon's perch is indeed their home. The lowest level of the divine dragon is equivalent to the human cave stage. The oldest one is already comparable to the Mahayana perfection. Fortunately, this special kind of monster has limited reproductive capacity, otherwise humans might have become their food." Tang Hong began to introduce it to the students.
"Mahayana Consummation?!" Many students said in surprise. Heather looked at the ancient sacred tree in the distance and secretly thought: "When will I reach that state? In just a few decades of life, I will step into Qi training." The period is only two hundred years. Will I have an infinite lifespan after reaching the perfection of Mahayana? During this period, will I be afraid and shrink back? How many difficulties are waiting for me on this path of a cultivator?"
Shinan's three questions about his soul made him seem to realize something. It had nothing to do with a breakthrough in cultivation. It was a breakthrough from the sea of consciousness. What it was, Shinan himself couldn't tell clearly.
"Teacher, did you often deal with monsters before you came to school? Last time you said that you were already in the realm of God Transformation. It should be easy to deal with the monsters outside, right?" Xu Jin asked with some fear.
"Well, classmate Xu Jin, I have participated in the siege of monster beasts five times in total. The first time I joined the army was only in the foundation building period. I killed two or two second-level monsters, so you don't need to be nervous. They are not that scary, but you You must obey the command and watch from the designated position!" Tang Hong knew that this group of students had seen a real monster for the first time, and they were inevitably a little scared, so he immediately comforted them.
When Xu Jin heard this, he muttered: "That means you are not completely sure of our safety."
After Xu Jin said these words, many students began to worry, especially the female students.
Although Hua Lin looks very strong on the surface, she is still a girl after all. She leaned towards Heather and grabbed Heather's arm.
"Ahem, don't be afraid. The teacher has said that there is no danger as long as you follow the instructions, and we don't have to actually go up and fight the monsters." Shinan felt a pain in his arm, and found that Hua Lin was holding on to him nervously, soothingly. said.
"Get away from me!" Ning Ruman, who was in the back row, shouted loudly.
"Hahaha, Ma Yang, you are a coward!"
"Monitor! Hahaha, did you wet your pants?"
"You know nothing!" Ma Yang stood up, looked around and responded.
"Bang" Ning Ruman kicked Ma Yang to the aisle.
"Hahaha!"
…
The tense atmosphere in the car was broken by Ning Ruman's sudden roar...
The bus drove into the mountains and drove for most of the day. It was getting dark before we finally arrived at Camp No. 3.
Called a camp, this place is not as simple as a few barracks.
There are steep cliffs on three sides below the camp. The mountain is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, and the camp stands on the mountain like a giant fortress. At the highest point in the middle of the fortress, there is a beam of purple light shooting into the sky. When you look up, you can see a huge magic circle above your head, and two purple arc-shaped beams linking the magic circle. If you can see these two arc-shaped beams connecting with the magic formations on the other two camps at an altitude of 10,000 meters, if you can look down from space, you can see the giant magic formation formed by eight camps.
"This is Camp No. 3 of the Wolong Mountains. It's so spectacular! I heard that this is an eye of the giant magic circle that blocks the invasion of monsters." Ma Yang limped away from the bus, holding his buttocks. When I came out, I couldn't help but sigh when I looked at the huge magic circle above my head.
"Teacher, I heard that this array is the masterpiece of Yan Binbai, the famous Chinese Celestial Master-level array master. Even practitioners in the Hedao stage cannot shake it without anyone in charge?" Hua Lin is very studious. asked.
"Yes, this formation is under the auspices of a strong man in the military camp. Even a strong man in the Mahayana stage cannot break it. But after all, it is just a formation and it is not omnipotent. There will always be monsters that slip through the net and rush out. ." Tang Hong walked in front, holding a flag of Miancheng No. 1 Middle School in his hand, just like a tour guide taking a group of students to visit the ancient city.
Tang Hong said as he walked: "Those behind, please line up and follow me. We will gather and line up at the playground in front."
There were already two groups of people standing neatly on the playground. When they saw Shi Nan and the others coming, no one paid any attention to them.
Shinan saw the flags in the hands of their leader's teacher, which read "Miancheng Dongling Middle School" and "Rongcheng No. 7 Middle School" respectively.
After feeling the aura around him, Shi Nan understood why the two groups of students didn't look at them. It was because the aura here was more abundant than other places. The students in the spiritual class of Miancheng No. 1 Middle School also calmed down and started practicing.
Not long after, four more buses arrived one after another. Later, the four teams were divided into "Rongcheng Shude Middle School", "Rongcheng Shishi Middle School", "Miancheng Middle School" and "Jingcheng Jingyang Middle School". Including Shinan and the two teams that arrived first, there were seven teams in total, and a total of 136 Ling class students from Sichuan Province were standing on the playground.
Soldiers with guns stood on both sides of the playground, and three of them were walking towards the podium of the playground.
The one on the left is a woman in military uniform. She gives Heather a very dangerous feeling. This woman's face was quite delicate, and her hair was as short as a boy's. Her eyes made people shudder, and she kept fiddling with a dagger in her hand.
On the right is a tall man wearing only a military green vest on his upper body, his muscles bulging like fists and shining brightly under the light.
Compared to these two, the leading officer seemed much more ordinary. He was 1.7 meters tall and had no emotion on his bearded face. The only thing that could prove that he was the supreme commander of this camp was his clothes. Two bars on the top and three stars on the military rank.
After the officer walked up to the podium leisurely with his hands behind his back, he used his spiritual power to amplify his voice and said: "Classmates, welcome to the No. 3 Camp in Wolong Mountains. I am the regiment leader here - Wei Lu. You are very lucky, because It’s the first time this place is open to students.”
The students in the audience were silent. They all stood with their heads held high and listened carefully.
Wei Lu spoke neither too fast nor too slowly, and was very gentle, but she had the aura of having fought with monsters for many years, which made the students dare not make a mistake.
"You are all our most outstanding young cultivators in Shuchuan. I believe you can learn a lot during this observation. My classmates, the road in life is long, but there are only a few key steps. For you, the college entrance examination This is the most critical link. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We must open up a good situation with high morale, meet new challenges, and hand over a qualified career to yourself, your parents, and your school. Answer sheet!" Wei Lu laughed harmlessly.
The teachers in the audience could not help but frown at this moment. These seven teachers were all from Camp No. 3 of the Wolong Mountains. They knew that every time Wei Lu showed such a smile, something bad would probably happen!
"According to the regulations this time, there are 7 schools, and each school follows a battalion. When the battalion is hunting, you will observe closely. But in order for you to hand in this qualified answer sheet, I decided that the 7 schools should also have certain Competition. So, whichever battalion you belong to that obtains the most monster cores will win." Wei Lu paused for a moment, seemed to remember something, and continued: "You can't snatch other team's beast cores in the middle. Once discovered, the school’s qualifications for the spiritual class will be cancelled, and the participants’ qualifications for the college entrance examination will also be cancelled!”
The calculation of the number of beast cores is the same as in previous years when encircling and suppressing monsters. One first-order monster is counted as one, two first-order monsters are counted as two second-order monsters, and two second-order monsters are counted as three-order monsters. Four, and so on.
As soon as Wei Lu finished speaking, the students in the entire playground started to commotion!
Damn it, you guys are just competing. It would be strange to bring this group of students to participate in the competition. They can neither fight nor be of much help. If you win, it's okay. If you lose, you will embarrass the school. You won't be able to go back this time. Has someone wronged your spine?
