Chapter 574: Chapter 371: The Future Heavenly King

Ji Xinghuo had just arrived, when a tall figure hurried to the villa. It was only when he saw everyone inside that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, so sorry."

Wu Qifeng apologized repeatedly, "Got held up by something, but luckily I’m still on time."

"No worries, we just got here too," said Ji Xinghuo, glancing at Wu Qifeng, who was clad in heavy armor, and waved his hand dismissively.

In assembling the team, he hadn’t forgotten this old classmate of his.

Wu Qifeng was originally part of another hunting team, but when he heard of Ji Xinghuo’s intentions, he decisively left that team to join this one.

He was an advanced mutant, his professional template was "Gravity Warrior," and, having mingled in the Star Realm for three or four years, he was quite experienced.

"Everyone’s here now," Ji Xinghuo stood up and looked around.

He put away his smile and said, "We’re going to fight side by side for the foreseeable future, and although you all know each other because of me, let’s still give self-introductions to understand each other better."

"I’ll go first," Chi Zhonglin said in a relaxed manner, "Chi Zhonglin, rank 485 on the Heavenly Ladder, a classless mutant."

The crowd couldn’t help but be impressed.

Besides Ji Xinghuo, Chi Zhonglin was the strongest in the room and had the highest ranking on the Heavenly Ladder. Moreover, he was Ji Xinghuo’s former teammate.

Zhuo Ligetu then spoke in a low voice, "I’m Zhuo Ligetu, a battle priest. I can tank, deal damage, and heal, ranked number 1644 on the Heavenly Ladder."

Jiangnan Caiyi also introduced herself.

These three super mutants, experienced as they were, would be the backbone of this team in the future.

The rest took turns speaking: Zhong Ming and Wu Qifeng were advanced mutants, much stronger than their peers; Lu Yunhai and Zhao Cangming were intermediate mutants, the weakest in strength, which was reflected in their less confident introductions.

"Not to hide it from everyone, the main purpose of assembling this team is to accumulate experience for my second brother and Cangming," Ji Xinghuo said candidly. "This outing, unless absolutely necessary, I won’t take action. You can pretend I’m not here. In the future, I won’t always be with the team; you’ll have to rely on yourselves."

His gaze fell upon the three super mutants, "I’ll have to trouble you to take care of the new members."

"No problem!" Chi Zhonglin pounded his chest in assurance, "Leave it to me."

Zhuo Ligetu and Jiangnan Caiyi nodded their heads too.

Wu Qifeng looked on with envy.

When he first entered the Star Realm, he often faced setbacks and struggled a lot to make a name for himself. Zhong Ming and Zhao Cangming, on the other hand, had high-ladder experts to show them the ropes on their first attempt, not to mention Ji Xinghuo being part of the team. It indeed seemed like a case of ’people are more frustrating than people.’

Fortunately, he was now part of this team. As long as he held on to Ji Xinghuo’s coattails, his future was set to soar!

Ji Xinghuo continued, "Our destination this time is the ’Rock Forest Lake District.’ You should all have heard of it, and some of you are very familiar with it."

"I’ve been there four times," laughed Zhuo Ligetu.

Chi Zhonglin and Wu Qifeng indicated they too had been there more than once.

"That’s even better," nodded Ji Xinghuo, but he still gave everyone a detailed introduction.

The Rock Forest Lake District was located to the northeast of Olympia, about 1700 kilometers away. It was an area made up of several hundred lakes both large and small, covering an area of over 100,000 square kilometers. There were no Star Gate Restricted Areas around it.

The area had a typical lava landform, with countless rock peaks rising between the lakes like a forest, and many Floating Mountains in the sky above.

Because of this extremely complex terrain and fluctuating climate.

The Rock Forest Lake District was home to numerous monsters of various kinds, including Catastrophe-Level creatures, making it one of the more dangerous places in the Thousand Peak Abyss Forest.

Ordinary hunting teams found it hard to survive in the Rock Forest Lake District. Generally, it required all members to be at least advanced mutants and to have super mutants for an elite force to venture there, but heavy casualties were common.

In this area, one might also encounter the Winged People and other alien races.

For newcomers, the Level of the Rock Forest Lake District was too high, but with Ji Xinghuo present, everyone felt reassured.

"Do you have any questions?" Ji Xinghuo asked after finishing.

Everyone shook their heads.

All the necessary supplies and equipment were ready, and with the exception of the two newcomers, the rest were experienced and didn’t need any specific instructions.

"Then let’s depart."

Ji Xinghuo announced the departure.

Although traveling by Star Night was not ideal, since everyone had just arrived from Earth and were brimming with energy, there was no need to waste over twenty hours waiting for daylight.

The group left the villa fully armed, taking a flying craft to the northeastern border city of human territory.

Then, they exited the city to travel under the cover of starlight.

Except for Zhuo Ligetu and Lu Yunhai, the others were traveling on foot.

Zhuo Ligetu rode his Fierce Battle Bear, while Lu Yunhai, as a Hunter, recently acquired an Imperial Decree ornament that allowed him to control a giant Sword Blade Leopard to add to his combat strength, protect himself, and serve as a mount.

Even Ji Xinghuo was on foot.

He had donned his long-unused ceramic-steel Armor, carrying the Invisible Stab and a quiver on his back, with Lei Chi at his waist, the standard Ranger attire.

Qing Hong, having Shrunk, lay in his pocket and slept soundly.

After half a year of staying at home, this creature had not only grown fatter but also lazier.

But that wasn’t the reason Ji Xinghuo didn’t ride Qing Hong. Qing Hong’s appearance clearly didn’t resemble an ordinary mount; it was too conspicuous.

"Brother-in-law,"

Zhao Cangming came over and couldn’t help asking, "Why don’t we buy a few mounts to conserve some energy?"

"There’s no need," Ji Xinghuo shook his head.

Chi Zhonglin turned back and added, "Ordinary mounts wouldn’t be much faster than our walking speed. Our physical strength is more than enough, there’s no need to save it too much. In combat, mounts often become a burden. Often, after just a few battles, the mounts are all dead."
