Translator: 549690339
Unsure if the official was slowly loosening the control of information about True Martial, recently, there has been more and more content about cultivation online, and many topics were even quite sensitive.
This time, Jack Clark and others had to go by car and were allowed to carry weapons with them.
Of course, weapons were allowed, but the provision against attacking ordinary people was still in place.
Moreover, apart from South Sky Martial Height, this time students from another second-tier school in the same city and five third-tier schools also participated in this mission.
Together with students from other martial arts schools in different cities, they flocked to mission points in small towns, creating quite an impressive momentum.
This time, Jack Clark and Freya Louise chose Hundred Mountain Town as their mission point, which is over 50 kilometers away from Mist River and just outside the meandering Long Hundred Mountain Range.
An hour later, the spacious armed department mission hall in Hundred Mountain Town was full of students carrying weapons.
These students huddled in groups, all looking up at the big screen on the wall in front of them, their faces filled with tension, excitement, and anticipation.
Among them, there were about 20 people wearing dark red battle armor, mostly elite students who participated in the trial and returned.
A majority of them were from South Sky Martial Height, while the remaining six were from the neighboring South Mountain Second-tier Martial High.
As for the five third-level martial high schools, at that time none of them had broken through the Second Layer Heaven, including the least number of participants in this cleaning mission.
There were about 200 freshmen from South Sky Martial Height who chose Hundred Mountain Town, and together with students from nearby schools, there were probably just over 300 people.
Most of these students were in the mid or late period of the First Layer Heaven, with nearly 100 in the Second Layer Heaven, and only 11 like Jack Clark were in the Third Layer Heaven.
Among them, nine were from South Sky Martial Height, and the remaining two were from South Mountain Martial High.
Currently, there are more than 30 students in the first grade of South Sky Martial Height who have broken through into Third Layer Heaven, including some fresh students who made a breakthrough after consolidating their cultivation for a period of time after the trial.
Crystal Leinster, Jack Clark, and Howard Lee were among the 20 or so people who applied in advance to go to the Alien Beast Battlefield.
Others were more cautious like Jack Clark, choosing to accumulate through this big cleaning mission to prepare for a stronger entry.
“That serrated pig mission is good, a Level 1 Mutated Beast, with a main attack of collision and biting. The mountain forest where it is located is only 16 kilometers away from the town.”
“At that time, we can park the car at the foot of the mountain, and we only need to run 10 kilometers.”
“Zhang Fei, let’s choose that Blue-eyed Fox mission. That Mutated Fox isn’t big and its threat level is low, it’s just faster and more agile…”
Compared to the genius like Jack Clark who had experienced battlefield fights, these regular strength freshmen were much more cautious.
Even when facing Level 1 Mutated Beasts, they were prepared to form three or four-man teams, as they lacked defensive armor and combat experience.
Vera Lee and Sawyer Levin also formed a team, then walked over to Jack Clark, who was carrying a combat knife, in the middle of the hall, and asked expectantly.
“Jack Clark, do you want to go together?”
“No.”
Jack Clark shook his head slightly: “Freya and I are aiming for the Level 3 Mutated Beasts deep in the mountains. You guys won’t be able to keep up with my speed.”
Considering his classmates, Jack Clark turned them down more tactfully.
“Level 3 Mutated Beasts,” admiration appeared in Vera Lee’s eyes, while Sawyer Levin’s gaze was somewhat complicated.
Only a semester had passed, and the classmate who once contended with him had reached Third Layer Heaven, and according to the Class Leader, even slayed a Fourth Layer Heaven beast.
While he struggled to catch up, he only reached the mid-Second Layer Heaven, and could only team up with Vera Lee to hunt ordinary Level 2 Mutated Beasts. The gap was too big.
At this time, Freya pointed to the middle of the big screen and whispered, “Jack Clark, there are three Level 3 missions not far from each other. Shall we take them together?”
On the big screen, a high-definition map of the hundreds of kilometers of the mountain range around Hundred Mountain Town was displayed. There were shimmering lights along the edge of the mountain range. These were the detected locations of the Mutated Beasts.
These lights were divided into three colors, each color representing a mission level, making them easier to distinguish.
For this clean-up, freshmen of First and Second Layer Heaven could only take one mission at a time, while those in Third Layer Heaven could take two.
This was to prevent people from maliciously occupying many close-by missions and slowing down the cleaning process.
Jack and his companion could take up to four missions at a time.
Among the three adjacent missions, one was to hunt two Level 3 Mutated Cloud-patterned Tigers that were entrenched on the edge of Long Hundred Mountain. Their hunting range spanned tens of kilometers and was very close to areas outside the mountain.
In order to prevent them from threatening passing vehicles and pedestrians outside the mountain, they were considered a priority target.
In this era, there was no animal protection law, and everything revolved around the needs of humans. Any mutated creatures that emerged beyond control were cleaned up immediately.
Accompanied by the roaring engine of their modified truck, Jack Clark and Freya quickly drove out of the small town and arrived at the nearest entry point into the mountains after more than an hour on the National Highway.
“Let’s park the car here,” Jack Clark parked the vehicle by the roadside and placed a special duty card on it.
Click! Click!
Freya assembled the over-2-meter long coarse sniper rifle, then attached several magazines filled with armor-piercing and incendiary bullets to her waist.
“When we’re near the target, 1’11 go ahead, and you’ll be careful and watch out for the surroundings when you’re looking for a commanding position.”
The girl nodded confidently, “Don’t worry, I’m well-prepared this time. Look.”
With that, she tapped her left wrist, and four soybean-sized points on a wristwatch-like device on the band flew out like insects, heading in four different directions with a whoosh..
