"One hundred and two thousand crystal coins. Divided among six families, each family gets exactly seventeen thousand."
As Ke Bei walked back to the North City, he silently calculated in his heart. Although the official would give a certain amount of pension to the families of each deceased team member when the Guardian Squad counted the casualties next month, the amount wasn't much. For someone like Gu Kun whose personal contribution reached the second-star level, the pension was only about ten thousand or so. For other team members like Wang Shan, Zhao Hai, etc., whose personal contribution was only at the first-star level, the pension was only one thousand.
Although Ke Bei was still very young, he had his own sense of justice. He thought that the members of the Ningxing Squad had treated him well and were very sincere, so he felt it necessary to do something for them.
Ke Bei first went to Captain Gu Kun's home, and then to Wang Shan's, Zhao Hai's, Chen Hu's, Sun Ze's, and Zhang Wu's. After leaving the crystal coins behind, Ke Bei left his address and told them that if they had any trouble in the future, they could come to him, and as long as it was within his ability, he would never decline.
After handling all these matters, a whole day had passed.
The next day, Ke Bei went to the military area of the East City Guardian Squad and casually took on a mission. He carried a broadsword on his back and walked towards the wilderness area alone.
In order to prevent the Ningxing Squad from being cancelled, Ke Bei had to raise his personal contribution value to the second-star level within a month, which required one hundred thousand crystal coins.
One hundred thousand crystal coins was not a small amount, but it wasn't hopeless either.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly.
"It's so warm and comfortable." Ke Bei carried a broadsword on his back and had ten throwing knives at his waist. He strode out of Lingfeng City and walked westward.
There was no dilapidated highway to the west of Lingfeng City. Now, nearly a hundred years had passed, and all that could be seen was endless wild grass. Ke Bei found a path with relatively less wild grass and advanced rapidly using Lingbo Weibu.
After passing through the wilderness area and running along a dilapidated road for three hours, Ke Bei reached the destination of this mission—the Hanjiang Forest.
This mission was nothing for Ke Bei. It was just to kill a hundred junior demon beasts, the Three-tailed Dogs. With Ke Bei's current strength and speed, there was no difficulty at all.
The Hanjiang Forest was a gathering place for demon beasts. There were no zombies here, only demon beasts. And there was even a General-level demon beast at the central position of the Hanjiang Forest.
It was when Ke Bei saw the mission introduction stating that there was a General-level demon beast here and one should not go deep into it that he decided to take on this mission.
Ke Bei came here specifically for the General-level demon beast. As long as he killed one, he would have one hundred thousand red crystal coins.
"Puff."
Ke Bei casually swung his sword and cut off the head of a Three-tailed Dog, took out the single tendon on the middle tail and put it into his backpack. This was the proof of his mission completion. Although it wasn't valuable, he still had to keep it. From the edge of the Hanjiang Forest to the actual entrance of the Hanjiang Forest, within a short distance of dozens of li, Ke Bei had already killed more than twenty Three-tailed Dogs.
"Not bad. Although the Three-tailed Dogs have low strength, they are very effective for honing the coordination between my swordsmanship and Lingbo Weibu." Ke Bei smiled slightly and walked towards the Hanjiang Forest along the edge of the Hanjiang River.
Just when Ke Bei was less than five hundred meters away from the Hanjiang Forest, he suddenly raised his head and a smile appeared on his lips as he looked at about a dozen Three-tailed Dogs not far away.
"Come on, let me have a good practice."
Ke Bei suddenly stomped on the ground. With a rumble, the ground cracked like a tortoise shell. His figure swayed strangely a few times and shot towards the group of Three-tailed Dogs as fast as lightning.
In the Hanjiang Forest, a killing god had appeared.
As time passed slowly, since Ke Bei appeared at the edge of the Hanjiang base city, the nearby beast herds had suffered. In the entire Hanjiang Forest, there was only one kind of demon beast, the Three-tailed Dog. The mission of killing a hundred Three-tailed Dogs had long been completed.
In just one day, at least a thousand Three-tailed Dogs had died at the hands of Ke Bei. Later, Ke Bei didn't take out the single tendon on the middle tail of the Three-tailed Dogs anymore.
Because it was unnecessary. The mission had been completed, and that thing wasn't very valuable, and it was troublesome.
It wasn't just Ke Bei who took on this mission. In one day, Ke Bei met three Guardian Squads.
"Captain, have you seen the strength of that teenager? He's so abnormal. He rushed into a herd of more than a hundred Three-tailed Dogs alone, not only without getting a scratch, but in just a few breaths, he actually killed all the Three-tailed Dogs."
Wang Wei of the Blazing Fire Squad stared at Ke Bei's erratic figure not far away, swallowed his saliva, and asked blankly.
"Look? Look at your damn self!"
The captain of the Blazing Fire Squad was so scared that his whole body trembled when he saw Ke Bei suddenly turn around and look at them. He slapped Wang Wei hard on the head.
He was afraid that because of Wang Wei's words, this killing god would be unhappy.
"Huff~"
After seeing that Ke Bei just took a look and then turned away without the intention of attacking, the captain of the Blazing Fire Squad finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, where did this monster come from? He looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his strength is actually, actually this strong."
The captain of the Blazing Fire Squad kicked Wang Wei and thought with lingering fear.
...
Ke Bei didn't rush into the depths of the Hanjiang Forest to hunt the General-level demon beast in a hurry. He was wholeheartedly honing his swordsmanship. The sword technique of Thunder Slash had great explosive power, but it didn't coordinate well with Lingbo Weibu. Every time he wanted to use Thunder Slash, he had to stop first to gather strength.
For three consecutive days, Ke Bei had been thinking about how to use Thunder Slash while using Lingbo Weibu. And those Three-tailed Dogs undoubtedly became the best objects for honing.
Ke Bei was so focused on finding a way to use Thunder Slash while using Lingbo Weibu that he didn't care about other things at all. Even when he met some human Guardian Squads, Ke Bei just smiled and walked away. He didn't know that his reputation had already spread among the Guardian Squads.
In fact, in the past two days, many people had come specifically to see him.
"Brother Han, what do you think of that person?"
The young man wearing a silver battle suit with three golden edges embroidered on the chest looked at Ke Bei's figure moving freely among the demon beasts and asked softly.
"Haha, what's wrong? Xiao Jiu, do you feel pressured?"
Beside the young man, another man also wearing a silver battle suit with four golden lines on the chest held a white jade fan in his hand, waved it gently twice, looked at Ke Bei calmly, shrugged his shoulders, and teased.
"Hehe, I do feel some pressure. To be honest, I'm not sure I can beat him."
The young man stared at Ke Bei for a long time. After a moment of silence, he said.
"Damn it, are you kidding me?"
The man with four golden lines on his chest gently hit Xiao Jiu on the head with the white jade fan in his hand. As the white jade fan flipped, reflecting the setting sun, a line of ancient characters engraved with purple jade emitted a noble and mysterious purple light.
"In an instant, the eternal greenness; In one life's cycle, the carefree journey."
If someone recognized this fan and the characters engraved on it, they would surely guess the man's identity.
Han Lingyue, the only son of Han Tian, the Ice Sealing War God who was the real ruler of Lingfeng City. At the age of twenty, he reached the limit of the Third-level Strong in an astonishing way. He was the youngest Transcendent Realm powerhouse in Lingfeng City. He entered the Genius Training Camp of the Jiujiang Base Headquarters at the age of eighteen and had been in the top ten of the Azure Dragon Ranking of the Genius Training Camp for three consecutive years.
Standing beside him, Xiao Jiu, the young man with a serious expression looking at Ke Bei, was also a trainee in the Genius Training Camp. His surface strength was at the limit of the Third-level Enhancer. But because he was a genetic mutant, almost no one knew his real strength, except Han Lingyue.
Han Lingyue knew Xiao Jiu's strength. Once he erupted, even an ordinary Transcendent Realm powerhouse couldn't be his match. So when he heard Xiao Jiu say that he wasn't sure he could deal with Ke Bei, he was a bit surprised.
"Hehe, I just said I'm not sure. When it really comes to a fight, it's hard to say who will win or lose. Brother Han, you don't have to be so excited, do you?"
Xiao Jiu touched the head that had been knocked by Han Lingyue and shrugged his shoulders in the same way as him.
"Haha, damn it, are you kidding me? Am I surprised? Who told you I'm surprised?"
Han Lingyue said and knocked Xiao Jiu on the head again.
"Brother Han, let's go. There will definitely be a chance to fight in the future."
Xiao Jiu didn't mind being knocked on the head by Han Lingyue at all. He took a deep look at Ke Bei's gradually disappearing back, tapped his toes lightly, and leaped towards the direction of Lingfeng City.
"Damn it, are you kidding me? Wait for me."
A meaningful smile appeared on Han Lingyue's lips. He cursed with a laugh, and his body floated up and chased after Xiao Jiu.
