Chapter 87 Encountering a Tribe
Sunset mountain.

A demon territory only 30 kilometers away from the border of Hangzhou City's Anjie, where three tribes live: the Terrorclawed Falcons, the Fire Slave Rats, and the Blood Fanged Wolves. It contains relatively rich resources and is a place for many junior and intermediate mage teams to practice hunting.

Therefore, although Sunset Mountain has the two medicinal herbs required for the assessment, Cangyu Blood Grass and Lingxiangzhi, the easily accessible resources have long been picked up by savvy hunters, and the remaining resources are very difficult to obtain.

According to Song Xuanfei's idea, their team of hundreds of people should go to more difficult and less populated areas, those dangerous places where medicinal materials can be found in just a few steps, which would be the most efficient.

This is also what most people think, and they are all prepared to go deep into the dangerous world.

But An Yuan brought them to Sunset Mountain in the shallow layer of the dangerous realm.

The goal is not to pick medicinal herbs, but to slaughter the mountain!

"How much are those herbs worth? There are more than a hundred of us, just to pick herbs. Our efficiency is definitely not as good as that of the students who work in teams of three or two."

"The purpose of assembling a large force is never to do minor things, but to accomplish great things!"

"Everyone, follow me into the mountains!"

"We can still collect medicinal herbs, but that's just a small part of our harvest. The real big part is conquering the monsters!"

"Listen carefully, Sunset Mountain has not been cleared by high-level wizards. Many places are pure natural resource points. Although the demons stationed there are definitely difficult to deal with, please believe me, I can lead you to take them down!"

"Our goal is to - slaughter the mountain!"

"Everyone, follow me and do what a mage should do, instead of being like a baby who only listens to adults. You are already around 20 years old, but you only know how to listen to your elders and do whatever you are told to do!"

These words made everyone suddenly enlightened.

Yup!

They have already assembled a team of hundreds of people, why are they only focusing on evaluating those few medicinal materials?
Demonic resources, magic ores, spiritual objects of heaven and earth, natural herbs, which ones cannot be obtained in the wild?
They should have them all!
As long as they kill all the monsters, they can get all of the above!

"An Yuan, I'm done with you!"

"Original God is Original God. I didn't expect this situation!"

"But in this case, do we have to give up the assessment results?"

An Yuan smiled calmly and said:

"Believe me, we will take the top 100 in the test. No one can surpass us except each other!"

The students immediately felt relieved:

"Original God, we believe in you!"

Leng Lingling looked at this scene in surprise.

The mages present were close to different forces and were the most outstanding young people of the same age in Hangzhou.

An Yuan's prestige among them was almost to the point where they followed him blindly!
He is worthy of being the man my sister likes.

Leng Lingling looked up and saw An Yuan's radiant elegance, and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

……

In the forest, Leng Lingling held An Yuan's collar and walked with one foot forward and one foot deep:

"I have written down the latest distribution of monsters in Sunset Mountain. The monsters in the outer area are not strong. The three tribes in the inner area are in a three-way confrontation, and there is little room for other monsters to survive."

"With our strength, provoking the tribe is tantamount to suicide. It is more than enough to sweep the periphery. In that direction, one thousand meters ahead, there is a nest led by a warrior."

An Yuan chuckled, "Okay, please help Lingling make a plan, and we will sweep the periphery as quickly as possible. Xia, just light the beast-attracting incense."

Leng Lingling nodded, "Just listen to me. But you are really brave to light the beast-attracting incense in the dangerous area. When we enter the place where the wind is upward, we must extinguish the beast-attracting incense. Although the three tribes have no leader, we cannot fight any one of them."

There are hundreds of mid-level wizards. Although they sound powerful, almost all of them are at the mid-level one. It is difficult for them to break through the defenses of powerful generals, not to mention the terror of facing hundreds of demons charging into the formation together.

Many people present here have backgrounds.

An Yuan brought them here, and if one or two people died in an accident, it might not be a big deal, but if too many people died, An Yuan would not be able to survive in Hangzhou in the future. Leng Lingling didn't want her future brother-in-law to lose the results of his hard work in Hangzhou.

An Yuan chuckled, "Lingling is really thoughtful."

Having an external brain is easy.

An Yuan was not worried about Leng Lingling's young age, so he sent out wind and shadow mages to explore the way, and after asking the sound mage to be on guard, he handed over all the marching plans to her.

Leng Lingling did not feel any pressure when she received the important task. Instead, she was very satisfied with An Yuan's trust in her.

Beside her, Ye Xinxia lit the beast-attracting incense and looked at Leng Lingling in surprise.

"An Yuan, what you're doing... isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"It's okay. I'll take care of it."

"Well."

Ye Xinxia said no more.

Leng Lingling glanced at her.

"This Ye Xinxia has a special relationship with Brother An Yuan. Will she really be a threat to my sister?"

"My sister must know about this. I am probably overthinking it."

……

Leng Lingling planned the operation, An Yuan led the team members, and everyone had a clear division of labor.

With the experience of team combat in the last final exam, the veterans led the novices, and the team dealt with the monsters and collected resources very quickly.

An Yuan is in charge of all storage magic devices and distributes some of them to the team leaders. Most of the time, he is responsible for statistics and command work, but sometimes he has to take action.

Sunset Mountain is different from Weeping Forest.

This place has not been cleared, and even in the periphery it is possible to encounter large nests, and occasionally even powerful lone demons at the high-level general level.

Whenever mid-level and high-level generals appeared, An Yuan had to take action, using mental magic to temporarily control them, commanding ice, shadow, plant, and poison mages to rush forward, and finally letting a dozen thunder mages concentrate their fire.

Occasionally they would encounter hunter teams, and An Yuan would negotiate with them, using other types of resources to exchange for the medicinal materials required for the assessment.

When the hunter team saw the large group of hundreds of people, they did not dare to have any bad thoughts and just traded obediently.

Under An Yuan's leadership, the team had a safe journey.

In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.

When An Yuan was commanding his team to encircle and suppress a mid-level warrior, the sound mage suddenly shouted:

"There's a lot of movement above us!"

"Kill the target quickly. Everyone, draw a star map and be alert!"

After dealing with the demon, An Yuan looked up.

His orders caused colorful magical lights to appear in the surroundings, turning into the most dazzling magical coordinates. Large groups of black feathered monsters could already be seen flying in the sky.

Each of them has a wingspan of several meters, with cold grey feathers, two ferocious and sinister claws growing beneath their bodies, and pairs of red vertical pupils locking onto them, revealing murderous intent and greed.

"It's the Terrorclaw Fierce Eagle!"

Leng Lingling frowned, "It's four o'clock in the afternoon, the hunting time for the Terrorclaw Falcons. This is their hunting force, so they encountered us in the outer area."

"For demons, mages are excellent food. They are targeting us!"

"What bad luck, they found us..."
