My name is Adili, I am a new servant of the Gelugpa school.
My superior died and I was sent to the Green Ridge City's Sect Base.
It seems that something is going to happen in Green Ridge City. Like many others, I was also a low-ranking personnel sent here for reconnaissance and garrison duties at the beginning.
The cult is unwelcome in the Western Border, but its strange products and alchemy creations are selling well, with a small merchant guild in the city relying on them.
Just as I entered the door, before I had a chance to remember my new superior's name, the order to retreat was passed down.
The manager says we've been reported by a fellow practitioner and the guards are already on their way. Everyone, quickly withdraw!
The guild was immediately surrounded, warriors broke in through the walls, followed by a shame-faced 'Rotting Volga' and 'Feasting Bidge'.
"Oh dear, sorry about that, all for business haha."
After finishing speaking, he cooperated with the guards to kill all the people in the Chamber of Commerce.
I am indignant at the differential treatment, and these two sects are not good birds either. With the money earned in the Western Territory, they bought slaves for blood sacrifices and evil spell experiments in the Northern Territory and Southern Territory. This is a well-known fact, why can they appear so openly!
Luckily, the equipment provided by the sect was excellent, and I managed to escape with the help of a strange object.
My heart is so tired, and I still have to go back to headquarters.

Forcing himself to finish the last set of exercises, Li Rui relaxed his posture, panting heavily. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and he quickly grabbed a large bucket of water to pour into his mouth, also rinsing his whole body. His muscles were well-defined, reflecting light, and he finally became a sexy male god.
Mell lay on the recliner, lifting her legs to look at her white and tender feet. There was a delicate anklet on her ankle. It was a silver accessory gift bought by Li Rui because she saw that Mell's mood wasn't good. Seeing her happy expression, she should like it very much. At this age, little girls are carefree and their emotions come and go quickly, they can still be easily coaxed. Mell laughed happily and pounced on her partner to give a kiss, then began her own cultivation.
Ether Crystals, Alchemist's Mixtures and even Hi-Potions were drunk in large quantities; Shana often gave pointers, and the ladies would also lend a hand when they were happy. With resources and masters not lacking, the two people's Ether Infusion proceeded steadily and at a speed that left one speechless.
After being helped by his mother-in-law and undergoing arduous training, his body seemed to be awakened, becoming more agile and nimble. According to Mei Er, this was his mother's special martial art 'Body Soul Movement'. Such transmission of limb memory consumed a lot of energy, and Li Rui was one of the rare people who enjoyed such treatment, indicating that his mother was quite satisfied with him.
The trip to visit the岳 was a bit bumpy and awkward, but overall it turned out well. Not only did they make up for their own shortcomings, but they also got to customize some rare items. However, the consultant has been very busy lately and didn't meet with the two of them. It's not just him, the whole city of Green Ridge is busy - the "Spring Hunt" is about to begin.
This is a large-scale military operation held once a year, a grand event for all humanity. Whoever can hold a gun will participate, chasing fame and wealth.
The bounty for the "undead creature" released earlier has been met with no response, apart from the requirement to capture it alive, this is also a major reason. For Green Ridge City, the "Spring Hunt" is the main event.
At this time, an ordinary knight of the guard came to deliver a message from Lady Shana.
~~~~
Five riding Velociraptors sprinted through the dense jungle, dodging and using the horizontally growing branches and roots to their advantage.
Aran is excited, certified as a reluctant 1st class, and finally able to participate in actual combat. He has to thank Shana for proposing the requirement of going out for practical training.
"Supermen should not stay indoors for a long time, go out and exercise more, tempering their body and mind in actual combat."
Li Rui and Mel followed Shana, as one of the ten scouting teams, to explore the dark forest in the north. This mission will minimize combat as much as possible, with light equipment, focusing on reconnaissance.
Ms. Sha Na led the way at the front, Li Rui and Mei Er in the middle.
Also traveling with them are two adventurers: 'Toxin' Julian, from the renowned 'Eternal Rivals Guild', hired by the City Hall to participate in the exploration; and 'Crystal Blade' Griselda, granddaughter of Councilor Serino.
While resting, Julian was the first to speak out his news:
"It is said that tracks of a foreign tribe were discovered, so a luxurious scouting party was dispatched to deal them a mortal blow during the spring hunt."
Li Rui was somewhat puzzled: "Why did the aliens come here? If they wanted to migrate, wouldn't it be better to keep going deep into the forest?"
"Must be a beastman with a bad brain. Well, that's good, we can get more money during the spring hunt. Some of the other tribes will mine ether crystals."
"Beastmen have cannons, you dare to take it? Be careful not to get caught, some female beastmen like this mouth~"
She is a petite girl, 1.6 meters tall, which is relatively short among female superhumans, but fortunately her body proportions are extremely good.
Exchanged a few jokes and set off immediately.
The team was led by Shana, assisted by Julian. Originally, he had some resentment in his heart and complained that it was too annoying to bring second-generation experience! Even if their team wasn't the main force, they only served to 'open up the map'.
However, after getting to know them better, he found that the young men and women learned things especially quickly, and their progress in cultivating their bodies was not inferior to his; it dawned on him that these were children from a wealthy family. Moreover, Li Rui was humble and Guise was skilled at chatting, so he had nothing to say.
At this time, Li Rui was slowly digesting the news he had received, and had been kept in 'seclusion' for a long time, lacking practical experience in many areas of knowledge.
Suddenly aware of something abnormal on my head. Faint vibrations, air oscillations, smells, countless pieces of information converging in the brain, although eyes haven't seen it, but already knew - a highly venomous viper.
Snakes always have a paranoid delusion, mistakenly thinking that invading their territory will harm them, and launching a preemptive attack.
Li Rui instantly drew out his titanium silver sword and accurately beheaded the snake. The action was extremely small in scope, and even the speed of the swift dragon didn't change.
Ms. Sha Na nodded secretly and loosened her grip on the sword. The extraordinary cannot be just powerful, perception and vigilance are equally important.
She couldn't help but stroke the exquisite scabbard, still mindful of her own greed, and yet she had accepted such a valuable gift.
After meeting his mother-in-law, it seemed that an invisible barrier had been opened, and the middle and upper classes of Green Ridge City came to visit one after another. They warmly welcomed Mel and Li Rui. Especially the rumored noble-blooded Mr. Li, who was particularly welcome, but unfortunately, Mel still insisted on "using his own and not lending to others".
Li Rui was somewhat swollen, and some things couldn't help but come out. Among them was the titanium silver sword, only two of which were given to the closest Shana lady, one long and one short, matching her combat skills.
A large and dangerous monster was discovered along the way, but no one provoked it. Instead, they recorded its location, reported back, and then had the army unit formed during Chun Shou's time to subdue it.
Deep in the forest, Gracie said in a low voice: "Something's off. We've passed through several Terrorclaw territories already, but we haven't seen a single one?"
The Terrorclaw may not be the strongest, but it's certainly the most resilient creature in the West. Its shadow is everywhere, and people run nearly a hundred kilometers without seeing one, which doesn't seem right.
Mei'er's toes tapped on Aji's head, and she borrowed strength to jump onto the big tree beside her. After taking a look around, she floated down to the ground.
"There is no water source nearby, nor any large herbivores. We have already exceeded the boundary of spring hunting reconnaissance. Teacher, shall we continue?"
Ms. Sha Na ordered a 10-kilometer reconnaissance south and then return to the city. Even if it's not the main force, returning on the original road is too stupid, changing direction and going back to explore will cover a larger area.
At this time, a red flare representing a distress signal exploded in the sky.
