The visitors were three male adventurers.
A burly man with an honest-looking face.
A young man with thin cheeks.
There was also a square-faced, middle-aged man who looked very mature and composed.
The honest and burly man walked at the very front of the three.
It was he who shouted just now.
Upon noticing Lin Ze's presence, the honest and burly man was taken aback at first, then seemed to understand something, slapped his forehead with a speechless expression.
"Wang Xueyun, you're swooning again... What did you promise him this time?"
"Speak properly, Zhang Lei, who's being infatuated?"
Wang Xueyun glared at the honest-looking, burly man before introducing Lin Ze.
"This handsome young man took on the same mission as us and also wanted to go to Deathstroke Canyon, but unfortunately he couldn't rent a car, so I agreed to give him a ride."
"You're going to Deathstroke Canyon?"
Zhang Lei stared wide-eyed, looked Lin Ze up and down for a moment, then scratched his head and said:
"Young man, judging from your appearance, you must still be a student, right?"
Lin Ze nodded frankly: "I am from Pinghai No.1 Middle School and I will be graduating this year."
Upon hearing this, apart from Wang Xueyun, who already knew the truth, the other three all showed strange expressions.
A trainee beast tamer who is still a student, whose pet beast is probably not even at the second level, actually dared to go to the Death Knell Canyon. I really don't know whether to call it audacious or lacking in self-awareness.
Zhang Lei, an honest and straightforward man, scratched his head and said, "I'm telling you, young man, Deathstroke Canyon is too dangerous for you. You should go back and choose an easier mission."
Lin Ze didn't mind and shrugged, saying, "I think this mission shouldn't be a problem for me."
"This is a huge problem, okay?" Zhang Lei couldn't help but complain.
The thin young man seemed impatient with Lin Ze's refusal to listen to advice, and frowned, saying, "You're a student who hasn't even graduated yet, what makes you think you can deal with the Deathstroke Beetles in the canyon? Do you think you're Lin Ze?"
Wang Xueyun, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment: "Lin Ze?"
Zhang Lei explained, "Have you forgotten? We just talked about it yesterday. It was that peerless genius who passed the super-difficulty apprenticeship assessment!"
Wang Xueyun suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Ze, her mouth almost forming an "O".
She remembered that when the young man in front of her introduced himself, he said that his name was Lin Ze.
The same name, coupled with the courage and confidence to take on the task of clearing out the swarm.
The identity of the young man in front of us is now obvious.
"You...you're Lin Ze!?"
Wang Xueyun asked, stammering.
The seemingly random remark left the other three stunned.
However, they quickly realized what was happening and looked at Lin Ze in astonishment.
Lin Ze told the truth: "I did pass the extremely difficult internship assessment just yesterday."
"Wow!"
Zhang Lei's eyes widened like copper bells.
The other three were in no better shape, their faces filled with astonishment.
They never expected that the peerless genius who was the talk of the town in the beast tamer circle of Pinghai City would suddenly appear in front of them.
Wang Xueyun, who brought Lin Ze along, was especially surprised.
"I'm so lucky!"
Wang Xueyun muttered to herself in astonishment.
After a long while, everyone came to their senses and looked at Lin Ze with surprise.
At this point, no one mentioned trying to persuade Lin Ze to go back anymore.
A genius beast tamer who possesses a second-tier pet beast and can even kill a saber-toothed lion is no weaker than these veteran adventurers in terms of strength alone, so taking on the task of clearing out the insect swarm is not a problem at all.
The thin young man was now extremely embarrassed.
I just used Lin Ze's name to mock someone, but I didn't expect that the other party was the real person.
This is a resounding slap in the face.
That's really embarrassing.
Fortunately, Lin Ze didn't seem to care.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and extended his hand to Lin Ze.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Pei, and I am the captain of this team. I apologize for speaking to you like that earlier, but we meant no harm."
"I see."
Lin Ze shook hands with him, smiled, and indicated that he didn't mind.
"The hitchhiking..."
Li Pei immediately replied, "No problem, we've got it covered!"
Compared to his previous nonchalant attitude, Li Pei was now noticeably more enthusiastic.
His companions were used to it.
After all, the other party is a genius who passed the extremely difficult assessment, and is destined to have a bright future.
If he doesn't die halfway through his career, he will definitely become a top-tier beast tamer.
Such a promising company presents an opportunity to make connections and build goodwill, which is definitely not to be missed!
Even the skinny young man gave Lin Ze a fawning smile, completely unlike his initial impatience.
With Li Pei and others deliberately trying to befriend them, the atmosphere quickly became very harmonious.
The group then went to where their vehicles were parked and prepared to leave.
The vehicle was a modified and reinforced Jeep.
Hardened alloy steel plates were added to both sides and the front and back.
Even the tires are specially made for mountain biking.
After all, there are many ferocious beasts in the wilderness, and it is inevitable to be attacked when traveling. Naturally, the more durable and sturdy the means of transportation, the better.
"Deathbell Canyon is famous for the deathbell beetle; the most numerous creature in the canyon is the deathbell beetle."
On the way, Wang Xueyun told Lin Ze about information about Death Knell Canyon.
"The Death Knell Beetles aren't very strong, but their main threat is that they often move in groups. However, this is relatively easy to deal with; they just need to act in teams."
"Overall, Deathstroke Canyon is a great place for apprentice beast tamers to go on adventures in groups, and many apprentice beast tamers come here to hunt in groups."
As she spoke, Wang Xueyun secretly glanced at Lin Ze, feeling a pang of emotion.
Only a genius like Lin Ze would dare to come to Deathstroke Canyon alone right after being promoted to trainee Beast Tamer.
Geniuses truly cannot be measured by conventional standards.
Lin Ze casually asked, "The mission intelligence says that the insect swarm in the canyon is showing signs of migrating outwards, is that true?"
Wang Xueyun nodded: "That's right. Under normal circumstances, the Deathstroke Beetles would stay obediently in the canyon and would not leave easily. However, something has happened in the past month, and the swarm has suddenly become restless, migrating to the canyon in large numbers and even actively attacking nearby human villages!"
"Even outside the canyon, we're likely to encounter swarms of insects now, and the closer we get, the higher the probability. So we need to be careful on the road ahead..."
Before Wang Xueyun could finish speaking, Li Pei abruptly interrupted her.
"A swarm of insects has appeared 200 meters ahead, numbering between 100 and 200. Everyone prepare for battle!"
Wang Xueyun's expression froze.
Zhang Lei, sitting in the front row, chuckled and said, "Your jinx is really accurate."
The girl glared at him, then deftly opened her tactical backpack, took out the combat recorder, and tossed it into the air.
The palm-sized combat recorder hummed, unfolded its thin, cicada-wing-like spiral blades, and flew into the sky, hovering about ten meters above the ground.
at the same time.
Li Pei, Zhang Lei, and the thin man Zhao Mingshan quickly summoned their pet beasts.
