Chapter 292: Gold Everywhere, Yet Dangers Lurk
Although Mo Fan and the others were not there, there were still surviving Mages who had escaped to seek help.
Moreover, Mo Fan's continuous hunting had, in the end, been somewhat useful.
When the Hunters saw the heads and bone teeth on the ground, they were already halfway convinced, but when they saw the mutilated corpses and torn bodies, they all turned pale with fright.
There were many photos, each one incredibly brutal, causing some of the younger Hunters to vomit directly!
"If you still want to go in after knowing all this, I will absolutely not stop you. Our government needs a group of sufficiently strong Hunters to help us encircle and suppress the Mountain Men. The Mountain Men are incredibly cruel, taking pleasure in torturing and killing humans. Outer Kunyu Mountain is very close to Yantai, and we absolutely cannot let the Mountain Men establish a foothold here!" Nie Lengshan's voice rang out, clear for everyone to hear.
Upon seeing this brutal scene, many people immediately decided to back out. Clearly, this was not something they could handle.
The vast majority of Hunters did not have the courage to deal with the Mountain Men. Before long, nine out of ten of those Hunters who had clamored to enter Outer Kunyu Mountain had fled, leaving behind mostly Hunters with strong capabilities or very large Hunter organizations!
"Brother Nie, if there's anything you need help with, just say the word. Our Leopard Head Hunter Group's strength can't compare to someone of your caliber, but we're absolutely merciless when it comes to slaying demons," said a burly man wearing a leopard head hat.
"We've encountered a very serious problem now, and we truly need your help. Commander Sun has already led his team outside the Grass Sea Wide Valley, and I returned to gather reinforcements," Nie Lengshan said.
"Our team is composed entirely of High-Level Mages. If there really are Mountain Men here, as Mages from Yantai, it's our bounden duty," said a mature female Mage in her early thirties.
"That would be excellent. Everyone, please follow me." Out of over three thousand Hunters, only about three hundred were ultimately willing to challenge the Mountain Men, but fortunately, they were all elites and could temporarily alleviate the urgent situation!
"What exactly happened?" asked Huang Dabao, the captain of the Leopard Hunter Group.
"A very bizarre phenomenon has occurred. Dandelions are flying from all directions towards a certain place, and that place happens to be the best hunting environment for the Mountain Men—a vast sea of grass. Ninety percent of the Hunters who previously entered Outer Kunyu Mountain went there. We don't know how many Mountain Men are in the Grass Sea Wide Valley, so we must eliminate them as quickly as possible, otherwise most of those Hunters will likely die there," Nie Lengshan said.
"There were at least four thousand Hunters who entered Outer Kunyu Mountain before, right? Are those Mountain Men really that terrifying, capable of killing thousands of our Mages?"
"If they used some treacherous methods, they might kill a few hundred, but entering that sea of grass is truly unpredictable!"
Initially, those experienced Hunters still thought it impossible for the Mountain Men to be that powerful, but when they followed Nie Lengshan to the Grass Sea Wide Valley and saw the dense, ocean-like tall grass, they were all shocked!
People could disappear completely within it, and the Mountain Men could hide perfectly inside. Even if a team stayed tightly together, the Mountain Men would still find an opportunity to strike. Now they understood why Nie Lengshan was so anxious!
"We've already issued an urgent order to mobilize all available Sound-element Mages from Yantai and surrounding Cities. There are only seven in total," Commander Sun Yi sighed heavily.
"Only seven??" Nie Lengshan's face showed disappointment.
In an environment like this wide valley grass sea, even immense strength is useless. Even if a Super-Order Mage were to enter, all they could do is kill a few Mountain Men who foolishly expose themselves.
Great strength doesn't solve the biggest problem; the most important thing is how to pinpoint the Mountain Men in such a dense sea of grass.
Nie Lengshan is a Sound-element Mage, and he can perfectly detect the Mountain Men within the grass sea, so this operation will basically be commanded by him. However, relying on him alone as a Sound-element Mage is far from enough. It would be best if every team could be equipped with a Sound-element Mage; that way, the Mountain Men would have nowhere to hide, even in the grass sea!
"Seven it is, then. Divide the teams into eight groups and enter the grass valley. Try your best to find the Mountain Men's lair and eliminate them all to avenge our compatriots!" Nie Lengshan said.
With a Sound-element Mage leading them, this group indeed managed to kill quite a few Mountain Men.
But the Mountain Men are also incredibly cunning.
They also know how to pinpoint those Sound-element Mages!
Among them, one outstanding Sound-element Mage was a young girl. But unfortunately, she was ambushed by an Ancient Bronze-toothed Mountain Man.
Mo Fan was also monitoring the movements of the Mountain Men below at this time. Suddenly, in the sloping, long root-filled pathway, a slender figure, ragged and covered in blood, lay in a tree root hollow.
Mo Fan immediately Shadow Escaped over. The girl's top had been largely torn by sharp claws, her milky-white chest seemed about to burst out, and there was a shocking claw mark on her delicate shoulder, just barely missing her sensitive area, which was a blessing in misfortune.
Looking further down, the most fatal wound seemed to be on the girl's leg, with a long, deep claw mark from the outside of her thigh extending all the way to her ankle, nearly a meter in length!
A woman with legs a meter long is considered top-tier, yet she was torn open like this.
After realizing who she was, Mo Fan took out the divine medicine he had previously obtained from Parthenon. The medicine Xin Xia had given him was also incredibly potent; the girl, who had been on the verge of death, quickly began to breathe steadily, and even her profusely bleeding wounds slowly started to heal!
"Ngh~~"
The girl let out a soft groan. She opened her eyes and saw a human face. Her whole body trembled slightly, then she let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp~~~~~~~~!!!!"
Mo Fan hadn't even had a chance to speak when he suddenly heard an unpleasant, grating cry from nearby.
The girl suddenly stood up, anemia making her dizzy, but she managed to stand firm, her gaze stubbornly fixed on the Ancient Bronze-toothed Mountain Man.
The Ancient Bronze-toothed Mountain Man had pursued her this far and still showed no sign of giving up!
"You should escape quickly," the girl said to Mo Fan, without turning her head, her tone cold.
Mo Fan didn't respond to her. Instead, he raised his hand, and a wisp of black gale directly enveloped the Commander Level Mountain Man.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!"
Under the cutting of the black gale, the Commander Level Mountain Man was completely no match. In just a moment, it directly lost its life.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!!!!"
And at this moment, other Mountain Men also roared, heading towards this location!
There were many Mountain Men in the surroundings. They had already lost many of their kind to Mo Fan's killing, and now that he had killed so many more of their companions, they were naturally even more enraged.
Clearly, there was more than one Mountain Man Commander, and the one he had just dealt with was not the strongest.
