Chapter 1575 - Chapter 1575 Chapter 480 Hunting the Seventh Rank 【Thornback

Chapter 1575: Chapter 480 Hunting the Seventh Rank [(Thornback Dragon Python)] Chapter 1575: Chapter 480 Hunting the Seventh Rank [(Thornback Dragon Python)] Magical Beast Forest is a general term used by adventurers of the Southern Continent for the vast uninhabited region south of the Titan Mountains.

The area is covered with lush forests and has complex, multi-layered underground caves that resemble honeycombs.

Within the forest, there are a large number of magical beasts and all sorts of strange Extraordinary Beings, along with countless rare medicinal herbs and mineral deposits.

Treasures are everywhere.

But there are no roads in the primitive forest, and many areas are covered with rainforest vegetation. Even if adventurers cleared a new path in the morning, the vines and brambles would grow so fast that by evening, the area could revert to a dense jungle.

Without an experienced guide, it’s easy to get lost or wander into dangerous zones.

However, the team had Leonard Churchill.

Although it was his first time entering the forest, his uniquely structured mind had already pieced together all the maps collected over the days into one large map in his head.

He accurately determined the direction, making the journey smooth.

Great Sword Group was comprised of High-Order Card Masters, and the team moved swiftly, covering a hundred kilometers on the first day.

As night fell, they reached a mountain stream filled with red, broken stones.

This was “Red Broken Rock Beach,” a landmark among the many paths leading deep into the Magical Beast Forest.

High-order magical beasts rarely appeared nearby, and with an open view, it was an excellent camping site.

Leonard’s destination for the first day was precisely here, and Sophia Jones called out, “Alright, we’ll rest here for the night.”

“Roger that, Captain!”

The members of the Great Sword Group began setting up camp with high spirits.

The marching tents were taken out of the backpacks and quickly assembled.

The demons beasts they had hunted along the way had now become the freshest ingredients, and with a professional chef among the team, large pieces of roast meat were soon sizzling over the campfire.

The delicious scent of the meat had barely started to drift when a barrier kept it confined within the campsite.

The officers of the Revolutionary Army were extremely excited.

The gains along the way gave everyone a taste of the feeling that the land was paved with gold.

Every time they encountered a magical beast, the group could deftly turn them into materials.

“Oh my goodness… Is this the legendary ‘Magical Beast Forest’? We’ve just started our first day, and we’ve already hunted two Fourth-Tier magical beasts and over a dozen low-level ones… Just the magic cores and fur we’ve gathered are worth as much as a long-distance escort mission.”

“Yeah. This is just the edge of the Magical Beast Forest, where too many adventurers are found. It’s said that deep in the forest there are all kinds of precious herbs and High-Tier magical beasts. Especially those underground caves that haven’t been explored for a long time, and those large-scale magical beast groups. If we encounter one of those groups, we could strike it rich…”

“Sam, you jinx, don’t curse us. I’ve heard from adventurers in the tavern that encountering a herd of magical beasts in the forest isn’t a good thing. A few dozen from a small group wouldn’t be too bad, but if we bump into one of those large herds numbering in the thousands, the leader of the monsters is at least Seventh Rank; a single group could exhaust a large team to death…”

“Hahaha, we’ve prepared so many traps this time; maybe we’ll really hit the jackpot in one go.”

“…”

The team included various professionals, so there was no need for Leonard to do any work.

As a guide, he was at ease.

After setting up his tent, he sat listening to his teammates boast.

Hearing everyone’s excited chatter, Leonard felt the gains were to be expected.

Firstly, the resources in the Magical Beast Forest were indeed very abundant.

The forest was vast enough with ample food to support large herds of magical beasts.

Like wild grass, when one wave was cut down, another would quickly grow back.

And then there was the fact that the Great Sword Group was too strong.

Otherwise, for an ordinary small team, just the two Fourth-Tier magical beasts they had encountered along the way would have been a big hassle.

This was just the beginning, and there was at least half a month’s journey ahead before reaching the true core area.

Leonard appeared very calm.

The atmosphere within the Revolutionary Army was good, and as they chatted, the meat on the campfire began to crackle.

Considering he was the only outsider, Leonard didn’t say much and quietly rested on the side.

Sophia Jones also sat not far from him, engrossed in scrutinizing a map she had not had the chance to examine closely.

At this moment, the team’s medic, the baby-faced “young girl” with big braids, Bonnie, came over with a piece of roasted meat.

Despite her youthful appearance, she had been a regular on the Wanted list over a decade ago.

It was said to be due to her year-long research into poisons.

Revolutionary Army senior officer, “Deadly Poison Doctor” Bonnie, was not as harmless as she seemed. Her deadly spell once wiped out an entire Federal Legion in the East Wilderness.

There was no need for politeness.

Having walked together for some time and exchanging occasional conversations, Leonard and this Healer were more familiar with each other than the others.

Moreover, she was Sophia Jones’s close friend and was more naturally sociable with others.

Inside the Revolutionary Army, people were informal with each other; everyone took their own food and drinks, and even Sophia Jones did the same.

The roasted meat Bonnie held was, of course, for their guest Leonard; she asked, “Guide Sean, what should I call you? Also, how did you disguise yourself? I’ve been observing all along, and I haven’t noticed any flaws…”

“Thank you.”

Leonard accepted the roasted meat and asked in return, “How did you know I don’t look like this?”

He had certainly noticed that the girl had been observing him all along.

Since he hadn’t deliberately played the part, it was normal to be discovered if there were any anomalies.

Since they had been rushing on the road, there had been no chance to ask about this.

Now with time to spare, Bonnie stared at Leonard’s face again and said, “Your appearance doesn’t match your air. You just need to observe a bit more to know.”
