Chapter 449: Heilong Prefecture

Speaking of which, information about these cities is actually not confidential at all. After all, these Fierce Beasts can never be killed off completely; you might wipe out all the Commander-level Fierce Beasts and Elite-level Fierce Beasts in a city this month, but within two months, new Commander-level Fierce Beasts will have occupied them again.

"Very well." Xu Yinhe agreed with a smile and said, "That request is no problem. I will tell you in advance: if there is any cooperation in the future, we will call you. If it is convenient for you, I hope you will agree. As for the compensation, we will definitely not let you be disappointed."

"Fine." Lu Yu nodded.

In any case, he only agreed to leave his contact information, not that he had to cooperate with the other party.

Subsequently, he sent his Martial Arts Association contact information to Xu Yinhe.

Xu Yinhe also quickly sent over the coordinates of several ruined cities, as well as the distribution of the Fierce Beast forces within them, in detail.

"Brother Lu, you had best not go to the furthest ruined city alone, because there are several Commander-level Fierce Beasts there, and one of them is the very top tier among Commander-level Fierce Beasts."

Xu Yinhe pointed to the last line on the screen, a place called Heilong Prefecture, and said.

Ten years ago, Heilong Prefecture was still a prosperous second-tier city with a population of nearly ten million, extremely convenient transportation, and a large airport.

Ten years later today, it has been completely occupied by Fierce Beasts; even for an Awakened, this is a place fraught with danger that one dares not easily step into.

"Right, many thanks for the reminder, Brother Xu. I will be careful."

Lu Yu did not deliberately hide his identity; after all, his attire and weapons were too unique, and it would be easy for the other party to find out about him with a little investigation.

His gaze swept quickly across the screen.

The screen showed a total of six cities. Even in the one with the worst conditions, the number of Fierce Beasts was two or three times that of the city under their feet, and there were as many as two Commander-level Fierce Beasts entrenched within it.

As for the other cities, the number of Fierce Beasts was even more massive, and the Commander-level Fierce Beasts had significantly improved in both quantity and quality.

If one were to explore deeper into these cities, encountering a Beast King-Grade Fierce Beast was not impossible. Besides that, one might also encounter some strange, unheard-of races.

"Mm, Brother Lu, if you have any other doubts, just speak up. Anything I know, I will certainly tell you everything without reservation." Xu Yinhe said with a face full of enthusiasm and a beaming smile.

He looked Lu Yu up and down with great interest, his curiosity growing ever more rampant in his heart.

He secretly pondered: which Awakened Association does this Brother Lu belong to?

In his knowledge, among the many Awakened Associations, he had never heard of any B-Grade or higher Awakened who used a bow and arrow as a weapon.

Could he be a C-Class Awakened? He would have to go back and check that carefully.

"No problems for now. If I have questions later, I'll just call Brother Xu."

"Good, very good." Xu Yinhe nodded repeatedly, looked around, and then said, "Since that is the case, we will not disturb you further. If Brother Lu has any questions in the future, you can contact me at any time."

"Right, let us part ways here."

"Let us part ways here."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes carrying a hint of mutual appreciation.

"Let's go."

Xu Yinhe turned his head to look at the people behind him and then stepped toward the distance.

Since not even a single Elite-level Fierce Beast was to be seen in this place, they truly had no need to linger any longer.

The group couldn't help but glance at Lu Yu's direction once more before hurriedly following Xu Yinhe's pace.

After they had almost walked out of the city, someone finally could not suppress their overflowing curiosity and asked, "Uncle Xu, who exactly was that person just now?"

"Yeah, Uncle Xu, where did he come from? Is it close to here?" The others chimed in one after another.

"I'm not too sure about that either." Xu Yinhe smiled helplessly, shook his head, and said, "I only know his surname is Lu, and the mobile number he gave me; apart from that, I know nothing at all."

To tell the truth, he even felt in his heart that the surname the other party gave might even be fake...

"A mobile number? Uncle Xu, can you let us take a look?" Several people crowded around all at once.

"Fine, but don't go looking for trouble and calling him for no reason," Xu Yinhe cautioned.

After all, the other party's strength was clearly above his own; rashly disturbing him might bring trouble upon themselves.

"It really is a mobile number."

"So this is that person's contact information?"

"Eh? Why does this number look so much like a Martial Arts Association mobile number?"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd blurted this out.

"What!" This sentence stunned everyone instantly.

"Xiao Hai, are you sure this is a Martial Arts Association mobile number?" Xu Yinhe asked with a face full of shock.

"Yes." The young man called Xiao Hai scratched his head, his tone hesitant yet very certain as he said, "The first four digits of the number are the identifier for the Martial Arts Association, and I've identified it carefully; this should be the contact information for the Nanshan Branch Martial Arts Association."

"Hiss..."

A sound of gasping for air suddenly erupted at the scene.

Zhao Hai had even said the four words "Nanshan Branch" so accurately; it was likely correct.

In other words, that person surnamed Lu was highly likely not an Awakened, but a Martial Artist?

A Martial Artist capable of killing a Commander-level Fierce Beast single-handedly?

This... let alone them, even Xu Yinhe found it truly hard to accept.

It wasn't that Martial Artists capable of contending with Commander-level Fierce Beasts didn't exist, it was just that they were far too rare, basically all being leader-level figures within the major associations.

Take the Nanshan Branch Martial Arts Association, for example; the one who possessed such strength would certainly include the President, Zhou Yu.

It is said that his Five Thunders Transformation Extreme Hand has already been cultivated to the Consummation Realm, almost able to neutralize the vast majority of attack moves in the world; most Awakened's abilities simply could not cause him the slightest harm.

Apart from him, even if there were others with this strength, the total would definitely not exceed three.

But he had never heard of anyone surnamed Lu in the Nanshan Branch Martial Arts Association?

"Right, if I make a call back to ask, wouldn't I be able to figure it out?"

A flash of inspiration struck Xu Yinhe's mind; if he didn't get to the bottom of this matter, it would feel as if a kitten were constantly scratching at his heart, making him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Very quickly, he dialed a number.

"Hello?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the line. "Xu Yinhe, aren't you out leading people on a trial? Did you encounter danger?"

"No, President." Xu Yinhe hurriedly laughed and said, "Something happened on the way, and I would like to trouble you to help me check on someone."

"Help you look into someone?" Chen Yiru frowned slightly and asked, "Speak, what kind of person is it?"
