"Everyone has arrived, let's get to the point!"
Having seen that everyone was present, Mu Jinyu turned her head and motioned with her chin for Mu Hongchen to start playing the videos from earlier.
"Hmm?"
As the videos began playing, the expressions of Gu Xiyan and the other won, who were previously only sowhat worried, beca one of shock and horror. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novęlfire
Even San Liu and Naless, who had been sowhat nonchalant, now had grave expressions on their faces.
They were just a few short videos, which ended quickly.
After the videos finished, Mu Jinyu looked at the crowd and said, "The situation is a bit tricky now. With the revival of Spiritual Energy, not only has the cultivation environnt improved and resources have beco more abundant, but these ferocious beasts, after consuming so Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, have also begun to transform. These beasts now possess the strength of the Divine Realm."
As she spoke, Mu Jinyu paused, her expression somber as she continued, "You all probably know how formidable the Divine Realm is. Ordinary firearms can't harm them, so it's impractical to rely on troops to hunt them down. We can only use Divine Realm martial powers to confront them..."
Hearing this, Gu Xiyan understood and nodded, "So, Dragon Master, you called us here to lead people to hunt down these ferocious beasts?"
Gu Xiyan's voice was calm and not very panicked, but thinking about facing those savage beasts that could single-handedly wipe out a small village or a small town, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
After all, she had only once experienced a life-and-death battle with another person, and although she eventually succeeded in subduing her opponent, at that ti, she had i Yinxue, Jian Ruyan, Wen Rou, and Mu Jinyu behind her.
With them protecting her from behind, she was able to face danger and muster the courage to confront her adversaries ti and again!
And from the many ferocious beasts that appeared in the video, Mu Jinyu calling them here probably ant they were to act independently.
If she were to act alone, Gu Xiyan worried that if sothing went wrong and no one was available to support her imdiately, it would be disastrous.
So, although she acted very calm and did not want to complicate Mu Jinyu's plan, she was still sowhat concerned.
Mu Jinyu naturally heard the faint unease in Gu Xiyan's calm voice, gave her a glance, and also discerned the worry in her composed expression. He then scanned the rest of the crowd.
Apart from Gu Xiyan, Wen Rou felt the sa way. Even i Yinxue had these concerns, albeit not as obviously as Gu Xiyan and Wen Rou.
Only seasoned veterans like Jian Ruyan and Third-Rate Unknown were completely unconcerned about these Divine Realm newbie ferocious beasts.
After all, having been battle-tested, both Jian Ruyan and San Liu had reached the Third Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm. While Naless was currently only at a Half-Step Divine Realm due to the sequelae of Soul Seizing, her combat experience alone would make it easy for her to deal with beasts at the First Layer of Divine Realm.
So, they had no fear of facing any of the ferocious beasts from the videos on their own!
Mu Jinyu withdrew his gaze, not offering comfort to Gu Xiyan and the other won, and nodded, "Yes, you will head out and connect with the vanguard personnel in various places first. They have been tracking these beasts for a while. Let them help guide you. Then you can proceed to eliminate these beasts. Any questions?"
"No problem," everyone shook their heads.
Mu Jinyu nodded, "Good, Third-Rate Unknown, you both should depart first. Go to..."
Mu Jinyu designated two beasts out of those in the video that appeared to be the least ferocious and assigned San Liu and Naless to deal with them!
This was to take care of them. After all, Naless was only at the Half-Step Divine Realm, and although she could rely on her experience to handle beasts at the beginner Divine Realm, she might struggle with the more ferocious ones.
Plus, for so reasons, San Liu was also given the task to take on one of the weaker ferocious beasts.
Hearing Mu Jinyu's command, the expressions of Gu Xiyan and the four won did not change, while Mu Hongchen's lips moved slightly, but she eventually remained silent.
San Liu could tell that the beasts he and Naless were to confront were the weakest amongst those shown, glancing at the expressionless Gu Xiyan and others. His lips moved as he spoke, "Why not, Dragon Master, let switch to a different target?"
Mu Jinyu scanned him and shook his head, "What's the matter? Are you looking down on soone?"
San Liu's strength was only at the Third Layer of Divine Realm. Which among Gu Xiyan and the four won was weaker than him to warrant his special care?
"No, no, no..." San Liu hurriedly shook his head and said, "I just feel that the ferocious beast I am dealing with is rather formidable, and I, being weak, might not be able to handle it. I was hoping for a bit of your pity..."
"Quit the nonsense and get moving," Mu Jinyu said irritably.
Seeing this, San Liu dared not persuade any further and left the office with Naless.
Gu Xiyan and the others showed no change in their expressions, standing still, waiting for Mu Jinyu to assign them to confront the ferocious beast.
However, Mu Jinyu did not imdiately assign them their targets; instead, he quietly took out the Nine-eyed Wave Drum, the Dragon Bone Bracelet, and a piece of Rock after making sure that San Liu and his group had truly left Yinlong Mountain.
Gu Xiyan and the others were curious about what Mu Jinyu was doing when they saw his actions.
Mu Jinyu handed the Nine-eyed Wave Drum to Gu Xiyan, the Dragon Bone Bracelet to i Yinxue, and the Rock to Wen Rou.
"What is this?"
Gu Xiyan and the other won curiously asked as they took the items handed to them by Mu Jinyu.
Jian Ruyan recognized that these were Magic Treasures. After glancing at the Magic Treasures in the hands of the three won and then at Mu Jinyu, she didn't say a word, but her expression was sowhat displeased and upon closer inspection, also carried a hint of grievance...
Mu Jinyu said, "These are Magic Treasures, a higher tier than Magic Artifacts. With that, he explained the functions of the three Magic Treasures..."
The Nine-eyed Wave Drum dealt spiritual attacks, while the Dragon Bone Bracelet was a pure embodint of extre destructive power, and as for that piece of Rock, it was a Magic Treasure that Mu Jinyu had crafted with great effort, a small piece of raw material he painstakingly obtained from the Tai Sui Stone.
It had the sa effects as the Tai Sui Stone and was nad the God-Hitting Stone.
Hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, Gu Xiyan and the other won imdiately showed expressions of surprise and delight.
The worries and unease in their hearts were swept away in an instant.
They were already at the third layer of the Divine Realm with their power, and Wen Rou was even at the fourth layer. Compared to the ferocious beasts, they were likely able to capture them with ease.
Yet, a lack of combat experience led them to lack confidence, but with these Magic Treasures, even without much combat experience, they were not afraid of danger. A mishap in operation could have led to the total annihilation of the team.
"How about that, can you set out with confidence now?"
Mu Jinyu looked at the delighted Gu Xiyan and her companions and smiled.
He didn't dare to tell Gu Xiyan that the pellet drum she held was made from a giant toad.
That would certainly make Gu Xiyan explode!
Hearing that, Gu Xiyan looked up at Mu Jinyu with a sowhat lancholic tone and said, "You were just trying to scare us just now, weren't you?"
"No," Mu Jinyu imdiately denied, "These are the only Magic Treasures I have, and since all of you need to take action, of course, I need to favor you a bit. But if they saw it, they might get a bit upset, so naturally, I had them set out first, then I could take care of you separately."
He didn't feel he did anything wrong. Favoring his won a bit, what's wrong with that? He wasn't about to let them face dangerous situations without acting to resolve them.
However, after all, Gu Xiyan and the others could not compare with San Liu and his group in terms of combat experience. When allocating the ferocious beasts, they had to either solve the weaker ones or resolve it this way.
And Mu Jinyu thought it was safer to provide them with Magic Treasures by their side, so he arranged it that way.
"Ah, that's true. San Liu and Naless didn't see you distributing Magic Treasures to us alone. They must still think you, the Dragon Master, are very fair. Even to your own won, you are so cold and heartless, showing no favoritism. They'll probably fear you even more..."
Gu Xiyan nodded in sudden understanding, then thought of sothing and glanced at Jian Ruyan before turning to Mu Jinyu with a strange look. "But by doing this, aren't you afraid Sister Ruyan will have so ill feelings?"
She felt like Mu Jinyu was being foolish, fearing that giving all the Magic Treasures to them would cause San Liu and Naless to get upset, so he sent them away before distributing the Magic Treasures to them. But why didn't he send Jian Ruyan away as well? Wouldn't this just infuriate Jian Ruyan?
