Chapter 93: Annihilation of Beasts at Mount Qixing! Target: Tyrant Crocodile Beach!

The next morning, Sang Sang Yue took Su Yang to Mount Qixing to familiarize himself with the environment.

Sang Sang Yue had a carefree personality and didn't dwell much on being defeated by Su Yang the day before.

Inside Mount Qixing, not only were there military personnel, but also large numbers of mercenaries and adventurers had entered.

After the experts of Mount Qixing City eliminated the powerful beasts within, the area became their playground.

In the wild, many places were occupied by formidable beasts.

Those mercenaries and adventurers who explored these places faced extreme danger.

Places like Mount Qixing, where the strong beasts had been cleared and only Gold-rank beasts remained, were their favorite destinations.

After all, the danger was greatly reduced, and the rewards upon entering were still substantial.

Along the way, Su Yang saw many mercenaries and adventurers.

Among them, some were Beastmasters, while others were simply civilians wielding Energy Crystal Guns.

Su Yang was not unfamiliar with Energy Crystal Guns.

When he first enrolled at No. 1 High School, he had learned their structure and even fired at a range once, arranged by the school—he'd found it quite enjoyable.

Energy Crystal Guns were difficult to manufacture, expensive, and consumed a lot of energy; they were widely issued to ordinary soldiers in Mount Qixing City.

With the production standards of Mount Qixing City's military factories, the strongest they could produce were Bronze-rank Energy Crystal Guns.

A Bronze-rank Energy Crystal Gun could, in theory, penetrate the defenses of most Bronze-rank beasts.

But using a Bronze-rank Energy Crystal Gun against beasts was somewhat unrealistic.

After all, the shooter couldn't possibly hit every shot—that required long-term training and natural shooting talent!

Also, civilian gunners' reflexes simply couldn't keep up with Bronze-rank beasts!

When encountering fast-moving beasts, or those with defensive skills or charge abilities, Energy Crystal Guns struggled to make an impact.

These civilian gunners generally had decent aim and typically targeted Iron-rank beasts.

Killing a single Iron-rank beast was enough to support a family for some time.

Therefore, Energy Crystal Guns were of little use to Bronze-rank Beastmasters!

It was better to spend time improving the strength of one's beast companion than to practice shooting.

Along the way, Sang Sang Yue introduced Su Yang to the general distribution of beasts within Mount Qixing and the locations of powerful ones.

The map issued to him by the Reclamation Corps was already highly detailed, even roughly marking the positions of Gold-rank beasts and several large clans.

But Sang Sang Yue had fought in Mount Qixing for a long time, and his experience was equally valuable to Su Yang.

"Gold-rank beasts have begun to develop territorial awareness—they rarely leave their territories!" Sang Sang Yue said seriously. "But don't assume none ever wander. In Mount Qixing, you must be extremely vigilant—watch out for unexpected beasts, and watch out for mercenaries and adventurers!"

"They'd dare attack our military personnel?"

Sang Sang Yue countered: "Why wouldn't they?"

Su Yang nodded seriously: "I understand!"

Sang Sang Yue said: "Ahead is Tyrant Crocodile Beach—I'll take you to see it. If you didn't have that Earth Tyrant Bear, I wouldn't recommend going."

As the beasts of Mount Qixing were gradually eradicated, Tyrant Crocodile Beach at the southern end had recently been exposed to Mount Qixing City.

Tyrant Crocodile Beach, near the Yangjiang River, stretched for dozens of kilometers and was the gathering place of the Tyrant Crocodile clan, with nearly ten thousand Tyrant Crocodiles residing there.

When Sang Sang Yue brought Su Yang here, they occasionally still saw military personnel and adventurers fighting Tyrant Crocodiles.

"Su Yang, in the wild, you must always be alert for potential dangers!" Sang Sang Yue began imparting combat experience. "Never send out all your beast companions—keep one back to protect you at all times."

"I understand!"

Not long after, Sang Sang Yue brought Su Yang to a deserted area of Tyrant Crocodile Beach.

The Yangjiang River flowed quietly; there was no other sound. More than a dozen Tyrant Crocodiles, seemingly full, lay lazily on the sandy ground basking in the sun.

"Adult Tyrant Crocodiles usually have Bronze-rank strength—their scales are extremely thick and their defense is strong. Their weak points are their eyes and mouths. When fighting Tyrant Crocodiles, I always kill one and run!" Sang Sang Yue said seriously. "Never let them surround you—if they do, you're in trouble!"

After touring the southern part of Mount Qixing with Sang Sang Yue and becoming familiar with other beast clans, Su Yang had roughly familiarized himself with the environment—the day was over.

On the way back that night, Su Yang met the other members of the First Squad.

Under Sang Sang Yue and Wu Wu Yuqing's introductions, the other members were fairly friendly toward him.

On the third day of joining the First Squad, Su Yang felt his preparations were sufficient.

At the entrance, Su Yang encountered Wu Wu Yuqing.

Wu Wu Yuqing greeted him with a smile: "Su Yang, are you going out on a mission?"

"Yes!"

"Good, you've got drive!" Wu Wu Yuqing asked casually, "Where are you headed?"

"I think Tyrant Crocodile Beach is perfect."

"You're choosing a high-difficulty target right away?" Wu Wu Yuqing blinked. "Then be careful!"

"I will be careful!"

"If you don't complete the mission in one day, it's fine—you can make it up later. Don't risk your life!"

"Mm."

In Su Yang's view, Tyrant Crocodile Beach was the most suitable place for him.

Mount Qixing was mostly forested, with complex terrain and many beasts.
