Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 95 Terrible in the Wild

It was picturesque in the wild and there was no sign of danger at all.

It was almost like traveling.

This time, they chose to play the trial at a place not frequented by humans or city hustle and bustle.

“Wow, the scenery is good!” A nominal disciple could not help admiring it aloud.

Other nominal disciples also cheered.

Compared with the tranquil and picturesque scenery at the gate of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, this wilderness was somewhat less elegant but more rugged and wild, full of novelty. This was absolutely fresh and attractive to many rookies who lived in human settlements before entering Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and did not come out after entering the sect.

At this moment, everyone felt like they could touch the sky in this grand wilderness.

Without the slightest vigilance.

At that moment, only the hunter youth Zhang fan suddenly seemed to perceive something.

He got off the horse with a dignified face, half crouched on the ground. Against the wind, he gently sniffed, and then he turned around and reminded his company. “There’s something. Probably a large herd approaching us. We need to find a high and open place to hide.”

“Are you kidding, a herd of something? We are fighters, will we be afraid of just a few animals?” A nominal disciple first laughed.

“Exactly, let them come and kill us. Haha, I haven’t used the sword techniques I learned recently.” Another man sounded earnest.

Zhang Fan walked back, trying to persuade them. “Believe me, I used to be a qualified hunter. I know what a large herd of animals meant. They’re nothing like a single beast. It’s better to avoid unnecessary casualties.”

“Haha, well, we’re nothing like a qualified hunter, because we’re noble fighters.” Young and full of superiority, the nominal disciples laughed.

“Hey, Zhang Fan, aren’t you afraid?” Some even had a mocking look on their faces.

” You...” The hunter youth’ face was red from embarrassment.

“All right, stop. Listen to what Senior Brother Ding says.” Wang Xiaoqi stopped those excessive disciples.

Everyone looked at Ding Hao with questioning eyes.

Ding Hao smiled and said, “Well, we’d better listen to Zhang Fan’s advice. Before we get familiar with the surrounding environment, we can’t be too careful.” Then, he turned to Zhang Fan and said, “You’re experienced in hunting. From now on, you will lead us.”

Zhang Fan’s eyes flashed with gratitude.

Ding Hao’s trust had gradually let the youth, who was making slow progress, feel his own value.

Then, the other disciples fell silent.

Ding Hao had a high prestige in the nominal disciples. The same words would result in something different if they were not uttered by him.

Zhang Fan watched for a while and made a decision.

He led the crowd to a hill with strange rocks and abrupt topography. The hill was slightly steep. On the three sides, it was a grassy wilderness. On the final side, it was a running river. They would not need to worry about being besieged by herds.

Zhang Fan even carefully erased the traces of them passing by and sprinkled some odor-isolating powder.

The series of actions completely showed the quality of an excellent hunter.

The crowd had only just climbed the mountain when they saw a dark wild animal running in the distance. Like a flood sweeping by, there were at least tens of thousands of animals. They were very ferocious alien beasts. The place where they treaded was full of bones and blood. Other wild animals died in the mouth of this group of predators before they could escape.

When one of the alien beasts easily snapped a bowl-shaped tree with one claw, the earth trembled at the feet of the alien beasts. As for the nominal disciples who mocked Zhang Fan, their faces all paled at the sight.

There was no doubt that if surrounded by such a group of wild animals on the plains, the 20 people absolutely could not hold on for too long.

Everyone looked at Zhang Fan, in a completely different way.

Before, some nominal disciples looked down on this poorly-talented stupid young hunter. They considered him to be a drag. However, now, everything changed...

“I’m sorry, Zhang fan, I was wrong before. you saved us.” The teenagers who laughed at Zhang Fan all stood up and sincerely apologized to him. They were all 14 or 15-year-olds and fellow disciples. They would not hold a grudge or care too much. If they were wrong, they were not afraid to admit their mistakes.

“Don’t be... well... I actually didn’t do anything that important...” The hunter youth touched the back of his head, and laughed in embarrassment.

Ding Hao also smiled.

After this incident, Zhang Fan was finally accepted by his companions, and the 20-member team also realized the danger of the wilderness. They had gotten rid of their previous arrogance and became united.

This was the first lesson the rookies learned from the wilderness.

Grade 9 test area, although less dangerous, was not definitely without danger. If you were not careful, you would risk losing your life.

At this time, it was already evening, and the sun was gradually sinking in the distant horizon.

“Night in the wilderness will be much more dangerous than the daytime. Some powerful fierce beast demons are accustomed to haunt at night. So before dark, we have set up some traps and warning devices around the hill. Everyone takes turns guarding, and don’t walk away from the hill...”

Zhang Fan ordered everyone to start arranging the camp in an orderly way.

At this time, everyone trusted the hunter youth, including Ding Hao. They were all under his command and took the time to arrange various defense facilities.

Fortunately, before coming, everyone was prepared and bought a lot of various weapons and tools. After some busy work, they finally arranged everything before sunset.

At the end of the day, the last ray of light disappeared and almost everyone shuddered.

At this moment, the earth was completely shrouded in darkness. Some kind of strange atmosphere rose up on this land. The indescribable and dangerous breath made everyone’s hair stand up.

At this moment, the wilderness seemed to show its true face.

The crackling of the burning bonfire could not dispel the endless darkness or fear.

After eating dinner in a hurry, according to the previous agreement, Wang Xiaoqi and a nominal disciple went to take the watch, while the others set up tents among the strange rocks on the hill to rest and practice. However, they found it hard to really fall asleep.

Ding Hao leaped onto a towering rock. He was guarding and practicing at the same time.

At night, there was the Taiyin power between heaven and earth, which was the best time to practice the “First Ice Style” of the “Ice and Fire Nine Turns Golden Body”. Ding Hao performed the style to induce a little Icing Qi to temper himself. He wanted to realize the first turn, the Completion of “Skin Golden Body”. Then, he wanted to advance to the second turn, “Muscle Golden Body” in the near future.

Around him came the roar of wild animals.

Time passed so slow that all of them were anxiously yearning for dawn.

Suddenly—

Clap!

The peripheral defense devices sounded a warning.
