Chapter 61 - An Unexpected Situation
The cold northern wind was like a knife, cutting Lu Benwei’s skin. Chu Yan’s little face was also red from the scratches.
Chu Yan let out a breath and asked, “Annoying fellow, how did you level up so quickly?”
Lu Benwei had leveled up three times since he started hunting monsters. He was originally at level 19, but after a period of hunting, Lu Benwei’s level was now the same as Chu Yan’s.
Lu Benwei did not answer directly but asked, “How far away are you from level 23?”
Chu Yan pondered for a while and replied, “I’ll probably be able to level up after killing two more level-25 monsters or one more level-30 monster.”
The monsters in this area of Northwind Mountain were all around level 20. There were very few level-25 monsters.
Killing only level-20 monsters would not increase their levels much.
“We can’t go on like this,” Lu Benwei said, “Let’s go to the central area.”
Chu Yan nodded and followed Lu Benwei.
…
In Northwind Mountain, in the base camp of the Zhejiang Hunter University, a group of people came from another camp. They were still young, but no one dared to look down on them.
“It’s been really lively these few days.”
“There was Hai Yue’s team before, and today, the elites of the new Hunter Special Combat Class of the Zhejiang Hunter University are here too.”
“The monsters in the vicinity will have to rest in peace for a while.”
“I still remember yesterday, there was a new student from Zhejiang Hunter University who formed a team in this base.”
“He’s so young, yet he’s already forming a team. His future achievements will be extraordinary!”
There were seven people from the Hunter Special Combat Class here. Mo Tianyu and Gao Renchao were among them.
Hearing everyone’s discussion, they looked at each other.
“Boss, I’ll go ask them,” Mo Tianyu said. Mo Tianyu walked to the front of the crowd.
“Guys, is the new student of Zhejiang Hunter University called Lu Benwei? ” Mo Tianyu asked indifferently.
“I think that’s his name,” someone replied quickly, “There’s a very beautiful girl beside him.”
Mo Tianyu’s eyes flashed with a cold light. After thanking him, he immediately returned to Gao Renchao’s side.
“Boss, I’ve confirmed it.”
“It’s Lu Benwei and Chu Yan,” Mo Tianyu said coldly.
Gao Renchao smiled noncommittally and then snorted coldly.
“Liu Qingfeng will protect you in school. I ran into you here. Let’s see how you’re going to run this time.”
Gao Renchao’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
“If it wasn’t for the fact that I was on a mission in Northwind Mountain, and the fact that the date of the freshmen tournament was changed at the last minute, would the first and second place of the freshmen tournament be the two of you?” he muttered to himself coldly.
“A magician wants to trample on a hunter? In your dreams!”
When Gao Renchao said that, the people around him could feel the killing intent from his body.
Someone accidentally met his gaze and immediately felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
“How did this Lu Benwei provoke this expert?” Many people were confused.
In previous years, the top three of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hunter University freshmen tournament belonged to the Hunter Special Combat Class.
This year, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan suddenly appeared and won first and second place in the freshmen tournament. Compared to Chu Yan, who won first place, Gao Renchao was more dissatisfied with Lu Benwei.
During the competition, Lu Benwei not only gained points at an insane speed, but he also stole the limelight from the Hunter Special Combat Class. In the final stage of the elimination round, he had even defeated Mo Tianyu in an instant.
What was more difficult to say was that Lu Benwei was a magician. It was the most useless class among all combat-related classes.
They had no combat power and their leveling speed was the last among all the classes. It was not even as good as a lifestyle class.
However, this magician, whom everyone looked down on, had stepped on the head of the Hunter Special Combat Class and advanced to the finals.
At the same time, Lu Benwei was given high hopes by the school.
As the strongest person in the Hunter Special Combat Class, Gao Renchao could not take this lying down.
Gao Renchao patted Mo Tianyu’s shoulder and said, “I’ll go again and find out which direction Lu Benwei and Chu Yan went.”
Mo Tianyu nodded and left without another word.
…
On the other side, Lu Benwei had already entered the central area of Northwind Mountain. Unlike the howling cold wind outside, the central area was covered in a thick layer of fog.
Lu Benwei did not dare to be careless. He focused and slowly explored forward.
“Hu!”
A light gasp of hot water hit the back of Lu Benwei’s neck.
Lu Benwei did not even turn his head and said patiently, “Don’t mess around!”
A sinister and strange laugh was heard. This laughter did not belong to Chu Yan! It was right behind him.
Lu Benwei suddenly woke up and jumped forward with big steps. He pulled a great distance away from the strange figure behind him.
Eye of Insight was instantly activated.
[Mist Woman]
[Level: 29]
[Able to use fog to confuse enemies. Skills include Ice Poison, Water Impact, etc! ]
Lu Benwei touched the back of his neck and found a pool of blue-green liquid.
“Ice Poison?” Lu Benwei sneered.
“What a pity, my venomous Viper Set can already resist 90 percent of poison attacks!”
Lu Benwei finished off Mist Woman with three punches.
The mist then dissipated by more than half.
Lu Benwei’s pupils shrank. The ground was littered with corpses.
“This definitely couldn’t have been killed by a Mist Woman,” Lu Benwei exclaimed.
The corpses on the ground were numerous and tragic. Some of them were frozen into pieces, while some of them were bitten, and a large part of their bodies was missing.
There were even some that were unrecognizable, looking like a pile of mud. Their blood had long dried up and was stuck to the trees on the ground.
Lu Benwei took a deep breath and made a bold guess.
The time of death for this group of people was the same, but they were not killed by the claws and teeth of the same monster.
At this moment, a familiar shout could be heard. “Annoying fellow, where are you?”
It was Chu Yan. Lu Benwei went over.
On the other side, some clues were found in many bases.
Since yesterday, all the teleportation arrays had been broken. At the same time, any message could not be sent out. Even the bases could not communicate with each other.
At first, they did not pay much attention to it, thinking that it was caused by the harsh environment. After a while, it would be fine.
However, they soon realized that very few people who went hunting for monsters in the base had returned.
He finally noticed something. The outer base was shrouded in the legendary demonic qi.
The person in charge of Zhejiang Hunter University made a quick decision.
“Attention all staff members! Do everything you can to recall all the students!”
