Fang Lei sensed that this half-scorpion man might be the overlord of the A5 wilderness area.
If you explore deeper, you will most likely encounter the lair of the demi-scorpion, but you will not encounter other powerful monsters.
This precise perception comes from Fang Lei's seven months of rigorous training in the special training camp.
Although the accuracy of this perception is only 90%, it is already considerable.
So Fang Lei walked deep into the A5 wilderness area again. After walking for less than a stick of incense, he came to the demi-scorpion man's lair.
Fang Lei carefully inspected the demi-scorpion man's lair. The interior of the lair was filled with a pungent rotten smell, and the remains of the demi-scorpion man and the bones of human warriors were scattered everywhere.
Fang Lei carefully avoided the traps in the lair and the half-scorpions hiding in the shadows. He knew that he had to be careful, otherwise he would become their prey.
Deep in the lair, Fang Lei found a sparkling spar, which he knew was Yuan Jing.
Suddenly, three huge half-scorpion men sprang out from the shadows. Fang Lei used a Gangqi fist in desperation and started a fierce fight with them.
In the fight with the three half-scorpion men, Fang Lei relied on his [hard] defense to resist their attacks.
Due to the narrow space of the lair, Fang Lei could no longer avoid the attack of the half-scorpion man after dodging several times.
The half-scorpion man's sharp claws and tail needles kept attacking Fang Lei. He tried his best to avoid and fight back, and his body withstood dozens of attacks.
Fortunately, Fang Lei's [Hard] defense was strong enough, otherwise his body would have been penetrated by three half-scorpion men.
One half-scorpion is nothing, but three is very troublesome.
"It's very detrimental to me to continue to be in this stalemate. Although my [hard] can defend against the low-level attacks of these three half-scorpion men, this can only be done if I have Gang Qi."
"If my Gang Qi is exhausted, the [hard] state will disappear, and then I will be killed by these three half-scorpion men in an instant."
Fang Lei concentrated his mind and quickly rose into the air, flying like a flying dragon in the nest.
The three half-scorpion men were startled by Fang Lei's sudden change, but soon started pursuing again.
Fang Lei found the flaw of the half-scorpion man at the right time, and hit one of the half-scorpion men in the vital part with a precise Gangqi punch, knocking him to the ground.
The other two half-scorpions began to attack Fang Lei more frantically, but he had already found a way to crack them.
Since one half-scorpion man died, the remaining two were naturally no match for Fang Lei.
He kept looking for opportunities and finally killed them one by one. Fang Lei gasped and looked at the half-scorpion man lying on the ground.
"With my current strength, it's still a bit reluctant to kill three half-scorpion men, but fortunately I succeeded."
"If a warrior who doesn't know how to be [hard] and [hard] comes here rashly to kill the half-scorpion man, he will definitely be killed!" Fang Lei was still frightened.
At this moment, there was a huge tremor in the lair, and the ground began to shake violently.
Fang Lei realized that this was a sign that the nest was about to collapse. He hurriedly looked for the exit, but found that the exit had been blocked by collapsed rocks.
Facing the coming crisis, Fang Lei calmed down. He knew it was useless to panic now, he had to find a way to get out of danger.
Fang Lei began to search for all possible exits in the lair, and at the same time continued to use his Gang Qi to prop up the collapsed rocks to buy himself time.
After hard work, Fang Lei finally found a small exit. He got out smoothly and came to the outside of the nest.
At this time, the nest had completely collapsed. Fang Lei looked at the messy scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Although I defeated the demi-scorpion, this battle also revealed my shortcomings."
"My four major elements and seven small elements of Gang Qi are still too weak. At present, I can only release [Strong] for ten minutes at most. After this time, the [Strong] state will be released."
"According to Instructor He Qiang, the [hard] state of those strong people can last for several hours, or even for several days."
"Although I have broken through to the professional level, I cannot be complacent."
"You know, the strongest has its own strong hand, and every mountain is higher than the other!" Fang Lei said secretly.
Fang Lei spent nearly a day hunting in the A5 wilderness area.
"Nowadays, I have killed all the monsters in the A5 wilderness area with physical fitness levels above 80 degrees. However, they seem to know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and will retreat as soon as they encounter a strong person."
"It seems that the A5 wilderness area is no longer suitable for me to hunt. Let's go back to Tyne College first." Fang Lei murmured to himself.
At Tyne College, Fang Lei's arrival immediately attracted the attention of Dean Zhou and Song Qisheng.
The sudden visit of a high-profile first-level professional warrior naturally made people wary.
However, when they recognized Fang Lei, they were filled with surprise.
Seven months ago, Fang Lei was just an amateur martial artist whose physical fitness was stuck at 25 degrees.
Now he has become a first-class professional warrior, with a physical fitness of 107 degrees.
In just seven months, my physical fitness has improved by 82 degrees. This rate of improvement is truly astonishing.
Song Qisheng praised: "Your potential is really unfathomable. I thought you were already quite outstanding, but I didn't expect you to be able to break through yourself in the special training camp!"
"Teacher Song, you are overestimating me. I am just trying my best to improve myself." Fang Lei replied humbly.
At the same time, he also learned that Song Qisheng was a fifth-grade professional warrior, and his physical fitness reached 571 degrees.
Then, Fang Lei looked at Dean Zhou and found that he was only a ninth-grade professional warrior, with a physical fitness of 986 degrees and not very strong.
Fang Lei thought to himself, "I expected that Instructor Song's strength is that of a fifth-grade professional warrior, but Dean Zhou's ninth-grade professional warrior surprised me."
"I originally thought that Dean Zhou's strength was comparable to that of He Qiang. They were both professional warriors. It seems that my previous judgment was wrong."
"Now that you have become a first-class professional warrior, what are your plans?" Dean Zhou asked.
Fang Lei replied: "I have joined the Hunter Association and am now a C-level hunter."
"I didn't expect you to join the Hunter Association. This is a good choice. The Hunter Association is a SSSS-level force that is no worse than the Warriors Alliance." Dean Zhou said.
"By the way, the person who recommended you to Tyne Academy before is also a member of the Hunter Association."
Hearing this, Fang Lei suddenly realized: "It turns out that the mysterious man who saved me is a member of the Hunter Association!"
"Dean Zhou, with my current strength, the wilderness area around Tyne City can no longer meet my hunting needs!" Fang Lei said calmly.
His eyes are firm, revealing his desire for higher challenges.
Dean Zhou asked after hearing this: "With your current strength, you are indeed not suitable for hunting in these four wilderness areas. However, you were able to kill the half-scorpion man, which is really beyond my expectation."
"The half-scorpion man is an extremely ferocious monster. If you can kill it, you must have mastered the four major elements and the seven minor elements of Gang Qi, right?"
"Yes, these are all taught to us by instructor He Qiang in the special training camp." Fang Lei replied.
"On the planet Gramodis, Tyne City is just an unknown third-tier small city."
"The top warriors here are only ninth-grade professional warriors, and no professional warriors have yet emerged."
"Compared with other more prosperous and powerful first- and second-tier cities, this place really seems insignificant."
"Only big cities have professional warriors. Even in Heyang City, the capital of the planet, several warriors have reached the exploration level."
"Exploration-level warriors can walk in the starry sky. Considering your future development and strength improvement, I strongly recommend that you go to a first-tier city, or go directly to Heyang City."
"There, your martial arts path will be broader, and you will have more opportunities to learn and communicate with stronger people, so that your strength will be improved to the next level!" Dean Zhou suggested.
Fang Lei asked: "How far is Heyang City from here?"
"There are two ways to go to other cities. The first is to walk or fly there, and the second is to take transportation."
"Heyang City is very far from here. I suggest you take the suspended train. It will take about a week to reach Heyang City." Dean Zhou responded.
…
In the past week, Fang Lei has been practicing the "Qi-nourishing Breathing Method" on the suspended train, as well as the four major elements and seven minor elements of Gangqi, without daring to slack off for a moment.
One morning a week later, the hovertrain finally came to a stop.
"He Yangcheng has arrived at the station. Passengers getting off the bus, please pay attention!" came an electronically synthesized voice.
Fang Lei let go of the ring in his hand, walked through the crowd, and got out of the car through the back door.
After getting off the car, he saw a fifty-foot-high red city wall in front of his eyes. This was the city wall of Heyang City.
The walls of Heyang City are not only high, but what is even more unique is that the inside of the walls is filled with hard Warcraft bones.
Not only that, there are also advanced formations guarding Heyang City, which can be said to be impregnable.
According to Dean Zhou, Heyang City's city walls coupled with advanced formations can withstand attacks from all monsters below the Exploration Realm. Even if any monsters try to climb the wall, they will be destroyed by the formations.
These four expensive city walls and advanced formations are the cornerstone of Heyang City. This is the key to its standing for tens of thousands of years.
As long as Heyang City's walls and advanced formations do not collapse, Heyang City will not be deserted.
If other first- and second-tier cities are destroyed, the population can be moved from Heyang City or moved in from other places to build new cities.
But if Heyang City is destroyed, humans will no longer have a truly reliable stronghold on the planet Gramodis.
Heyang City is not impregnable. It has faced the crisis of destroying the city many times in history, but it has been saved.
Fang Lei stared at the mottled high wall and thought about how Heyang City should deal with an exploration-level monster.
Heyang City has four city gates, southeast, northwest, and what Fang Lei sees is the east gate. There is an endless stream of people queuing under the gate.
Under the gate of Heyang City, the patrol team is strictly checking the identity of everyone who enters.
The team moved slowly, keeping a certain distance between them.
When everyone's turn comes, they will go to the designated area and accept the patrol team's inquiry.
Zhou Fan noticed that more than a dozen patrol members wearing leather armor had serious faces, and one of them, a burly man, stood quietly aside with sharp eyes.
This kind of inspection is to prevent Warcraft from mixing into the crowd. Warcraft above the professional level are basically intelligent and can even transform into humans.
If these monsters transformed into humans were allowed to enter the city, the consequences would be disastrous.
Several such incidents had occurred in Heyang City, which almost resulted in destruction, so this inspection came about.
The first step of the inspection is to use a test instrument to illuminate the body. If it is a human, the green light will turn on. If it is a monster in disguise, the red light will turn on.
There is also a special situation, that is, the yellow light lights up, indicating that it is a hybrid of humans and monsters.
Hybrids can also enter the city because half of their genes are human.
There are many hybrids of humans and monsters in history who have become admirable heroes.
Of course, there are also many human-Warcraft hybrids who are scum, because half of them are Warcraft genes. Therefore, humans do not welcome such hybrids.
Soon it was Fang Lei's turn, and the inspection was over in less than ten seconds. The result showed that it was safe, and then he entered Heyang City.
When Fang Lei stepped into the city gate, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, like a scroll unfolding before his eyes.
Looking up, the towering skyscrapers stand in the distance, like dreamy giants, arrogantly overlooking this bustling city.
In the sky, warriors soared freely, and various magical flying tools shuttled through them, making them dazzling.
Their figures sparkle in the sun, as if they are holy messengers guarding the city.
Fang Lei was deeply attracted by the bustling scene in the city, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the city.
As Fang Lei went deeper, the hustle and bustle atmosphere intensified. People were busy coming and going on the streets, and various architectural styles and commercial facilities were dazzling.
This city is like a bright gem, shining with endless charm.
Fang Lei seemed to be attracted by the prosperity and vitality of this city, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in it, and began a wonderful adventure.
