I've Activated The Hidden Path of Beast Evolution

161 Bodyguards

However, this investigation gave them a huge shock. Not only was Ye Fan a first-year student of West Eagle Academy, but he also took the first place and obtained the championship in the league.

As expected of the top Rank-6 Beast Tamer among the younger generation in the city. These achievements were clearly shocking. Who wouldn’t call him a genius?

At that time, everyone in the hunter group felt that Ye Fan should be an unparalleled genius. They felt deep veneration for him and admired him greatly.

Now that they had the chance to meet again, they naturally could not let go of this good opportunity to get close to Ye Fan and get to know him.

Although Ye Fan was much younger than any member of the Hunter Group, no one cared because Beast Tamers respected the strong.

In the face of absolute strength, everyone did not care about age at all. Moreover, it was not embarrassing to show respect to young experts.

Time passed unknowingly. Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the valley.

If nothing went wrong, as long as such monsters gathered inside, there would usually be a temporary camp. It might be formed by the military or by adventurers themselves, but the camp they saw was very simple. They guessed that it was the latter.

“Old Wang! Why are you here?”

As soon as Wang Jun and the others got out of the car, they saw a group of people coming over to fight.

The man at the front had a rough voice, a burly figure, and a scar on his face.

“Didn’t the Rock Hunter Group just come a few days ago? You said you wanted to go to other gathering places to take a look. Why are you here again?”

Wang Jun and this scar-faced man seemed to have a good relationship. The two of them spoke very easily.

“I accepted a mission at the last minute. Now, I have to take my employer for a walk in the valley.”

The scar-faced man raised his eyebrows. After sizing up the crowd, his gaze landed on Ye Fan.

Because there were very few people in the hunter group, everyone was very easy to recognize, only Ye Fan was unfamiliar.

Therefore, the employer Wang Jun was talking about should be this young man.

“You’re here as a bodyguard!” Scarface laughed.

Because Ye Fan looked really young, people who didn’t know him well would think that he was a newbie and an ignorant Beast Tamer.

Scarface thought so too, so he lost interest in an instant and looked elsewhere.

The members of the hunter group were a little embarrassed, because in terms of strength, Ye Fan was much stronger than them.

Even if the entire hunter group joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Ye Fan.

Thus, there was no way they could be bodyguards for an expert like Ye Fan. On the other hand, Ye Fan was more like a bodyguard for them.

But Wang Jun did not explain too much to the scar-faced man. Instead, he looked at Ye Fan casually and found that Ye Fan’s expression was calm and he did not take the scar-faced man’s words seriously. Seeing that Ye Fan did not mind, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly changed the topic.

“Old Zhao, why are you still hunting here?”

The scar-faced man’s name was Zhao Peng, the leader of the Wild Wolves Hunter Group. When he heard this, he opened his mouth and smiled.

“Although the monsters here are a little troublesome, their levels are high. They can drop many high-level materials.”

“If we’re lucky, we may encounter rare elites among monsters and earn a lot.”

Chen Xiuxiu smiled and exposed the other party’s words. “Those elites are all Rank-7. If you really meet them, I’m afraid you’ll run away immediately!”

Zhao Peng did not feel awkward. Instead, he laughed. The two sides chatted for a while before parting ways.

Wang Jun did not stay any longer and brought everyone into the Rock Valley.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically. The lush green outside the valley was beautiful, but the inside of the valley was barren, with only scorched earth and rocks.

With just one look, one could tell that the environment in the valley was very harsh.

One could imagine what kind of monsters would grow in such an extreme environment. They would definitely be quite ferocious and irritable.

The moment they stepped into the valley, Wang Jun and the others immediately entered the hunting state.

Their eyes were focused and their faces solemn. They summoned their pets immediately, looking very professional.

“Yishan and Wenxing, you two are in charge of bringing up the rear. Old Qin and I will be the vanguard. Xia Ping and the pets will guard the surroundings. Xiuxiu, reinforce them at any time.”

Wang Jun arranged everything that each member was responsible for. When the members heard their mission, they immediately took action.

The pets surrounded everyone in a very stable formation.

Ye Fan saw all of this and nodded in his heart. He felt that this was good.

He could also relax a little. He did not want to help. Instead, he walked in the middle in peace.

The monsters in the Rock Valley were usually Rank-4 to Rank-5. The experience that such a level of monsters could bring to Beast Tamers was very limited. Ye Fan didn’t fancy them now, so he didn’t want to snatch them.

Not long after everyone entered, they encountered monsters. The sound of wings flapping could be heard as a large number of giant insects swarmed towards them. They buzzed. These insects were half a meter tall and had very thick tails.

“Everyone, be careful. These things are considered high-level Rank-4,” Wang Jun said.

The members of the Rock Hunter Group had already killed many such insects in this valley, so they could recognize them with a glance.

The main reason he said this was to explain to Ye Fan. Moreover, the Bubble Worm’s attack came from the cylindrical organ on its tail.

It was similar to soul power impact. Although it was very powerful, it was very easy to defend against.

More than thirty Bubble Worms were instantly dealt with by everyone. When Liu Qing and the others were dissecting the materials, Ye Fan suddenly spoke.

“Where’s the first stop?”

Wang Jun and the others had already made arrangements. When they heard this, they took out a hand-made map of the valley and pointed at the place marked by the red circle.

“This is the first cave we’re going to. There’s a very ferocious poisonous snake inside. It’s a low-level Rank-7. Attribute: Wind.”

“This monster can fly with the wind. Its movements are agile and its hiding ability is quite high. It’s very cunning and is good at using the wind to cover its sound! It can launch a sneak attack without its prey noticing. When you encounter it later, you have to be careful.”

Ye Fan nodded, indicating that he understood.

After collecting the materials, everyone continued on their way. There were many monsters attacking along the way, and the Hunter Group easily dealt with them.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the entrance of the cave.

The cave inside was pitch-black and nothing could be seen. It was like a black hole where nobody would come out after entering.

As if sensing that someone was coming, the poisonous snakes in the cave flicked their tongues, and the surrounding air froze.
