Chapter 75 The Hunt Begins, Live Broadcast to the Entire School!
Of course, in addition to these 6 types of monsters, there are more than ten other strange and wonderful monsters in Cave 1.
For example, slimes are weak in combat but extremely difficult to kill.
A cave-dwelling monster that fears the light and excels at blind combat.
A ferocious species resulting from mutations of poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, dogs, pigs, cattle, sheep, and horses.
There are even some rare cave specialties that are hard to find outside the cave, such as stone-skinned lizards, highly poisonous worms, and rotten wood puppets.
Ark won't specifically search for these monsters, but if it encounters them on the hunt, it will naturally kill them without hesitation.
As for the hunting route, Ark didn't hesitate much.
When the time comes, just follow the map and walk straight to the deepest part of Cave 1.
The deeper you go, the denser the negative energy becomes, the higher the density of monsters, and the more efficient you are at earning hunting points.
Even deeper inside, there's a possibility of encountering elite monsters at the apprentice level.
Fangzhou's eyes were full of anticipation.
If this trip allows me to witness a monster leader who has risen from apprentice to rank, then it will have been worthwhile.
......
The military vehicle drove in the darkness, traversing a downhill road that resembled a winding mountain highway.
Nearly two hours later, the convoy finally stopped.
The instructors directed, "Get off the bus and check your luggage!"
Don't carry unnecessary waste, so as not to increase your burden.
Following instructions, Fangzhou and the other trainees got off the bus.
As soon as I got off the bus, I looked up and was greeted by a military restricted area made of barbed wire fences that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Every three steps there's a guard post, every five steps a sentry post; soldiers dressed as professionals are everywhere.
Inside the barbed wire fence, a quick glance revealed a variety of heavy weapons everywhere, with almost no attempt to conceal them.
Lu Hu and the other instructors didn't say anything and led everyone toward the gate.
The entrance was heavily guarded.
The Ark felt a growing sense of threat and pressure, as powerful professionals within its ranks were scrutinizing them.
Moreover, at the entrance, several imposing professionals were warily scanning the crowd, their strength no less than that of Bronze level.
"Lu Hu, a first-year instructor at Haicheng Military Academy, is leading 180 promising cadets to apply for entry into Cave 1!"
"Identification documents, entry permit!"
The person who handed over the task to Lu Hu was a Silver-rank professional.
In the eyes of the Ark crew, the opponent possessed a robust and powerful aura, making him virtually no weaker than Lu Hu.
Lu Hu was meticulous, and produced his identification and the entry permit signed by Su Tiankuo.
The other party checked everything one by one, then nodded, signaling Lu Hu to enter.
When Lu Hu and the other instructors entered, it was Fang Zhou's turn. They still needed to have their identification checked, and even their bags were inspected.
The soldiers conducting the inspection were meticulous, strictly checking everyone's identification documents.
Among the students, one muttered curiously, "They're in a military academy, yet it's this strict?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhi Qiu said calmly, "It should be to prevent the infiltration of the Demon Worshippers."
After everyone had finished their inspections, the officers and other soldiers, with their resolute expressions, saluted the people on the ark!
"Gentlemen, I wish you a triumphant return!"
The powerful roar stirred the crowd's emotions once again, and they all raised their hands in return.
At this point, these rookie recruits finally had a real understanding.
A military academy student, and also a member of the People's Liberation Army!
Dungeon hunting is also a small-scale war!
The soldiers watched Fang Zhou and his men disappear into the depths of the base before lowering their arms.
……
"Before even entering the underground cave, I suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility, and my whole feeling changed."
"Exactly, the military vehicles seeing us off, the barbed wire fencing, the soldiers saluting—it got my blood pumping..."
"I'm about to encounter a real monster! I've never killed one before, I'm so nervous!"
Some trainees were whispering among themselves in the queue.
Fangzhou didn't say anything and continued walking forward with the group.
Along the way, inside the base, the defenses were tight, with sentries everywhere.
Professionals are everywhere, and every now and then you can see some senior students from the Haicheng Military Academy evacuating from the depths.
These senior students are completely different from the likes of Lu Renjia and Lu Yiyi that Fangzhou usually comes into contact with.
A chilling murderous aura emanated from him!
Many of them still had bloodstains on them, perhaps because they had just come from the underground battlefield.
The base was huge, and after walking for another five or six minutes, the group finally arrived at their destination: a heavily guarded metal hall!
There are still a large number of sentries guarding the area, and there are also a large number of senior military academy cadets.
They looked at the clear-eyed first-year students from Fangzhou with some curiosity, wondering what these newbies were doing here.
Lu Hu stepped forward and negotiated with the other party for a while.
Soon, a tightly sealed alloy door inside the metal hall was slowly opened.
"This is the gate to Cave 1. Follow me."
Lu Hu casually explained that he was taking the lead and walking ahead.
Fangzhou and the other students quickly followed.
Soon, the group stepped into a long underground passage.
"The entrance to Cave 1 is just ahead, everyone stay alert!"
Following Lu Hu's words, the group continued forward and soon entered a huge and empty fortress.
This fortress is like a steel behemoth standing in the underground world, presenting a cold industrial aesthetic.
Several enormous magic crystal towers are also located at the top, operating day and night, releasing powerful barrier energy to form an invisible protective shield that isolates the negative energy in the cave from the outside world.
The fortress is surrounded by towering walls, which are equipped with a dense array of kinetic turrets and magical cannons, ready to deal with any monster attacks.
The city wall has heavy iron gates at intervals for people to enter and exit.
At this time, there were other people waiting in the hall.
Seeing Fang Zhou and his group pouring in, someone couldn't help but laugh and say, "Instructor Lu, you've finally arrived."
Lu Hu stepped forward and exchanged a few pleasantries, then turned to the students, whose expressions were filled with excitement and nervousness, and said, "Once you leave this fortress, you will officially enter the area of Cave 1."
Monsters may appear in the wild at any time, so be careful when you go in.
Let me remind you again: in an emergency, don't hesitate!
They tore open the protective roll and begged the instructors for help.
He checked the time and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, it's 8 o'clock. The hunt officially begins."
At 8 AM three days later, the hunting logger will calculate your scores and determine your ranking.
Let's go!
Guided by the fortress guards, the 180 seed candidates entered Cave 1 through the iron gate.
Outside the fortress, Ark looked up.
The world before them was completely different from the orderly world inside the fortress.
At the edge of the cave, the once lush vegetation has vanished without a trace, replaced by bizarre plants that are twisted, deformed, and strangely colored.
Nourished by meager energy, they grow tenaciously, their leaves shimmering with a dim, fluorescent light, like will-o'-the-wisps drifting in the night.
The surface is bare rock, riddled with cracks, and occasionally you can see bottomless dark crevices, like the mouth of hell leading to the depths of the earth.
Scattered on the ground were broken building ruins, withered tree remains, and the skeletons of unidentified creatures.
The only source of light here comes from the magical moss.
They grow in rock crevices, on dead trees, and even attach themselves to the skeletons of some large monsters.
These mosses emit a faint blue-green glow, a faint light that is enough to illuminate the surrounding environment.
