179 The Border of the Great Wilderness
The journey lasted for three days and two nights, and the convoy passed through many mountains and plains.
The group arrived at a rest stop. Everyone got out of the car impatiently and looked around.
“Everyone, don’t go too far during the break.” A Beastmaster in charge of receiving them shouted. “This is the Great Wilderness Mountain Range at the border of the Royal City. There are many Beasts.”
Su Bai got out of the car, stretched his waist, and looked around. He found that this place was just as that person had said. There were many Beasts.
The rest station was not small. However, just a few hundred meters away, a group of Beasts passed by.
Under normal circumstances, Beasts couldn’t approach human buildings on their own initiative unless they were forced to take the risk.
“You must be Su Bai?”
At this moment, the Beastmaster stepped forward and said with a smile, “My name is Wu Muqi. I was instructed by Deputy Commander Bing He to come and receive you.”
“Hello.” Su Bai greeted.
“We’re not far from the border now. It’s still half a day’s journey.”
Wu Muqi was very talkative, he first explained the situation at the border.
The Great Wilderness Mountain Range was different from many other places.
The mountain range here was even steeper, and there were countless Beasts.
Here, the Beast tides could be said to be a common occurrence. They would appear once every ten days to half a month.
“I don’t know if your luck is good or bad. The Beast tide just subsided two days ago. The scale this time isn’t small, but fortunately, the losses aren’t too great.” Wu Muqi smiled.
“Then when will the next Beast tide appear?”
“No idea. Normally, the Beast tide will occur every ten days to half a month, but it’s not absolute. That’s why we have to be on guard every day.” Wu Muqi shook his head.
The largest Beast tide in recent years was about three years ago. More than seven hundred Beastmasters were sacrificed in the entire Great Wilderness City, and more than a thousand ordinary people were affected.
The numbers made Su Bai feel the cruelty of the border for the first time.
Soon, the military’s convoy set off again.
Along the way, the soldiers were also sharing their own information. They were filled with a sense of mystery about the Great Wilderness border.
The resources here weren’t considered rich, but there were already countless expert Beastmasters here.
Soon, a large city appeared in front of everyone. In terms of size, it was definitely comparable to two Los Monstarias.
It was hard to imagine that the Royal City had actually built this city on such a dangerous border.
When they arrived at the pre-arranged place, they saw hundreds of people around them as soon as they got out of the car.
Among them, other than the troops from Los Monstaria, there were also Beastmasters from various places.
“Newbie, look over here. The party is recruiting new members now. As long as you join the party, you will immediately receive 20 Bronze-grade Beast-cores!”
“A ten-year strong team, recruiting new members!”
“Team Xin Xing is recruiting new members. You will be given a Beast egg upon joining the team. The number is limited. First come, first served!”
Su Bai was a little surprised by the enthusiasm of this group of people in front of the newcomers. But then, he felt relieved.
To the border, where the death rate was extremely high, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the Beastmasters here were expendable.
“Hey kid, come to our team. With an experienced captain leading the team, I guarantee that you will be able to understand the border Beasts in three days and graduate on the spot in seven days!”
“No thanks.” Su Bai shook his head and found Wu Muqi who had just arrived.
“This place is still the same. When I first arrived, I was fooled by these people. I can’t bear to look back.” Wu Muqi laughed.
“Is there a trap?”
“Not really. After you’re recruited, they’ll assign you jobs according to your strength.” Wu Muqi explained.
Wu Muqi pointed at a signboard not far away and said, “See that? The treatment looks rich, but there are requirements.
“If you don’t meet the requirements, don’t even think about getting the benefits they say.”
There were pits everywhere here, Wu Muqi had suffered quite a bit.
“Then what are your suggestions?” Su Bai asked.
“I don’t have any. If you have the strength, you should build your own team,” said Wu Muqi.
Wu Muqi reminded Su Bai, “But you have to be careful. This place isn’t like Los Monstaria. There are guys with ulterior motives everywhere. If you’re not careful, you’ll get backstabbed.
“Last year, there was a guy who poisoned all the members of his team to death. It could be said to be the worst incident.”
Therefore, there was a saying in the Great Wilderness City.
No matter how terrifying the Beasts were, perhaps they were not as terrifying as the human heart.
“So what do you plan to do?” Wu Muqi looked at Su Bai with interest.
The person who could be personally instructed by Deputy Commander Bing He and was so young made Wu Muqi very curious.
Su Bai pondered for a moment and replied decisively, “Since it’s troublesome to form a team, I might as well lead the team myself. It’s less troublesome.”
Each year, there would be many more teams in the Great Wilderness City, and many teams would be disbanded or wiped out due to time.
“I must say, you’ve got guts! If that’s the case, I’ll give you a name list later. It’s all the soldiers we sent this time. You can choose from them.” Wu Muqi praised.
“Thank you for that.”
Soon, a list was handed to Su Bai.
There was a list of 2,000 people, and there was only a simple name and level information on it.
At a rough glance, the people who came to the Great Wilderness border this time were basically all Silver-level soldiers, with a very small number of Gold-level soldiers.
...
After all, it was too dangerous. There was no need for Los Monstaria to send people below the Silver level to their deaths.
Regarding the selection of candidates, Su Bai didn’t want to be too rash.
In a no-disturbing manner, Su Bai filtered through the name list and pointed at a name, “I only need this person for the time being.”
“Just one?” Wu Muqi was a little surprised. He immediately jumped in fright. He smiled bitterly and said, “Kid, you sure know how to choose. The youngest daughter of the deputy commander is a talent that everyone wants.”
“We can be considered acquaintances. Since we know each other well and become teammates, we can rest assured.” Su Bai smiled faintly.
Su Bai had seen Bing Qingqing’s strength, and she was considered outstanding among her peers.
Now that Su Bai had just arrived and with Deputy Commander Bing He’s instructions before he left, Su Bai choosing Bing Qingqing was within his expectations.
Other than that, Su Bai didn’t plan to recruit a second member for the time being.
It wasn’t that Su Bai didn’t like others, but he really couldn’t make up his mind.
There was too little information and too many people. Just a cursory glance was enough to make one’s head buzz.
“Alright, go get in touch with her.” Wu Muqi smiled. “I still have some things to do here. Call me if you have any questions. I’ll try my best to answer your questions.”
...
“Goodbye.”
After Wu Muqi left, Su Bai immediately followed the military convoy up.
If Su Bai remembered correctly, Bing Qingqing’s car was only seven or eight cars away from him.
The crowds were bustling along the way, but Su Bai didn’t expect to see an even more lively scene.
At that moment, Bing Qingqing was surrounded by a group of people, trying to recruit her into the team.
