Chapter 6: Joining a Demon Hunting Squad, Exterminating a Commander-level Beast
Hmm?
This darn system finally acted like a human. Lu Sha's eyes lit up looking at this system reward.
Although the system always spouted nonsense every time it appeared, the rewards were still very good.
Even though Lu Sha was a High-Level Mage now, his mental realm was barely at the second level. To raise his mental power from the second to the third level was extremely difficult!
Without a mind stone, such a rare treasure, it would be very difficult to improve in a short time.
But this time, the system's reward directly raised his mental realm by one level, which was quite good!
At the end of the first semester, Lu Sha didn't choose to stay in the hotel but rushed to the Hunter Union without stopping.
The most urgent task was to complete the mission given by the system first.
Isn't it just hunting a demon? He should hunt a Commander-level demon for fun. Since the system said to practice diligently and accumulate combat experience, shouldn't he kill a Bone Spike Ferocious Wolf?
Arriving at the Hunter's Hall, people were coming and going, feeling like a large stock market or a job fair.
On the wall of the Hunter's Hall hung a huge LCD screen, displaying the latest bounties. Behind them were the bounty prices, with the lowest being 100,000 and the highest reaching millions.
Lu Sha didn't even glance at these bounties. Millions in bounty were just a drop in the ocean for him; even a little bit that slipped through his fingers would be more than a million.
His goal was very clear: just join any demon hunting squad. He didn't expect his teammates to be very strong. With him around, as long as they didn't accidentally stumble into a Commander's lair, everything else would be fine.
A moment later, Lu Sha casually chose a spot at the back of a line. The line was very long, but the whole process was quick, with four or five people eliminated in less than a minute on average.
Many people were kicked out without even passing the first round of interviews.
Soon it was Lu Sha's turn.
The interviewer was a sweet-looking older sister, about twenty-one years old, with delicate and defined features. Coupled with just the right amount of light makeup, she exuded even more charm. Her gaze briefly swept over Lu Sha, then a gentle smile curved her lips:
"Little brother, it seems you're not even an adult yet, are you? At this age, why aren't you studying properly? Why are you thinking of coming to hunt demons?"
Looking at the young boy in front of her with a naive face, it was probably difficult for him to even perform the most basic star path drawing, let alone survive in the extremely dangerous wilderness. A slight mistake, a misjudgment, or insufficient ability could lead to irreversible serious consequences, even endangering his own life and the lives of his teammates.
The interviewer, Miss, was about to advise Lu Sha not to joke with his life.
But before she could open her mouth, the scene before her eyes directly dropped her jaw.
The next moment, Lu Sha's aura continuously surged!
Everyone present, except Lu Ran, was startled.
Lu Sha casually raised his right hand and continuously shot out arcs of killing sound into the air. These killing sounds accurately struck the wall not far away.
The intense sound waves instantly shattered a wall made of rock!
If this sound arc hit a Servant-level demon, it would be enough to cause devastating damage!
"Middle-level mage?!!!"
The interviewer, Miss, covered her mouth in astonishment, her voice trembling slightly.
Although she was only an Elementary-level Mage, she had been in the Hunter Union for several years and had the good fortune to witness a Middle-level mage with her own eyes.
But such a young Middle-level mage, she was seeing for the first time.
"I wonder if my strength is enough to pass the first round of tests?"
The pink Star Map under Lu Sha's feet continuously flickered with dazzling light, and he looked at the interviewer, Miss, with a faint smile on his face.
"Of course! Welcome, welcome!!!"
At this moment, a burly man walked out from backstage. He glanced at the somewhat youthful-looking Lu Sha, his tone undisguisedly excited.
"I am the captain of this demon hunting squad. You can just call me Captain Yang Jian."
The more Captain Yang Jian looked at Lu Sha, the more incredible he felt. He was also a Middle-level mage, but compared to Lu Sha, he was like the light of a firefly vying with the sun and moon, like an ant trying to shake a great tree.
"Thank you. When are we departing for the hunt?" Lu Sha nodded and said again.
"Hahaha, soon, soon! But before that, let me introduce you to the members of our squad. Hmm, I'll start with myself. I'm Captain Yang Jian of the Iron Hammer Demon Hunting Squad, a Wind Element Middle-level mage." Captain Yang Jian led Lu Sha back to the backstage and said.
"Besides you and me, our demon hunting squad has three other members: Jiang Rou, a Fire Element Elementary-level Mage; Li Dong, a Water Element Elementary-level Mage; and Zhang Sheng, an Earth Element Elementary-level Mage."
"You can just call me Lu Sha." Lu Sha nodded slightly and smiled.
He didn't care too much about hiding his real name. After all, his background was there, and with his High-Level Mage strength, walking sideways in Bo City was no problem.
"I didn't expect you, Lu Sha, to be a Middle-level mage like the captain. To achieve such an accomplishment at such a young age is truly enviable!" Li Dong said enviously.
A Middle-level mage. He wondered if he could ever break through to become a Middle-level mage in his lifetime.
"Ahem."
"Let's talk about idle chat later. First, let's discuss the bounty we've taken on this time." Captain Yang Jian interrupted their conversation.
This was Lu Sha's first time executing a bounty mission, and he listened quietly with great interest.
"The bounty mission assigned by the Hunter Union this time is for us to hunt a Commander-level beast and dozens of Servant-level One-Eyed Magic Wolves."
As he spoke, the originally warm atmosphere in the team was instantly doused with cold water.
A Commander-level demon. For them to provoke a Commander-level demon with their current configuration was like a birthday boy hanging himself, wishing for a shorter life.
However, if they completed this bounty mission, there would be at least several million in bounty, which could be said to be a typical high-risk, high-reward situation.
"Same as usual, I'll deal with the Commander-level demon. The ten Servant-level One-Eyed Magic Wolves are up to you." A moment later, Captain Yang Jian assigned the tasks.
"As for Lu Sha, please make good use of your Sound System magic to scout and detect the movements of the demons. When necessary, you can also act as the commander."
"No problem." Lu Sha nodded.
Seeing Lu Sha nod in agreement, Captain Yang Jian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lu Sha was the kind of student who had cultivation but zero combat experience.
"Alright, since everyone has no objections, let's pack up and set off!"
Half an hour later, everyone packed their bags and drove towards the outskirts of the city.
