After the three left the old leader's room, Uncle Yuan introduced Leng Ran to the hunters in the group. Several of the hunters' wives, upon hearing about Leng Ran's background, couldn't help but feel maternal and made Leng Ran feel at home. They even brought him all sorts of snacks and toys.
As the sun completely set, the group threw a welcome party for Leng Ran, with a continuous stream of delicious food and wine. Songs and laughter filled the campsite.
"Here, try this. It's our special stewed meat." An older woman smiled and handed over a piece of fragrant stewed meat. Leng Ran took it and took a bite with gusto. The taste was delicious and melted in her mouth.
"Don't be shy, Ali. From now on, treat this place as your own home," Uncle Hu said with a smile.
"Ah Li, a good name. I hope there will be no more partings in your life." Uncle Yuan raised his glass to Leng Ran in a toast.
"Ah Li, I'm two years older than you. Be my brother. I'll protect you from now on," Jun Han said to Leng Ran in a serious tone.
"Okay, thank you everyone!" In her excitement, Leng Ran also went to the table to grab a glass of ale, completely forgetting that although her soul was already an adult, her body was only seven years old, and she downed it in one gulp with great bravado.
Then, because of the alcohol, she passed out spectacularly, and was caught by Jun Han with lightning speed.
"Hahahaha, Ali is so straightforward!" Everyone laughed.
The party was still going on, but the main character of the party had already fallen asleep. Jun Han took him to his room halfway there, where he slept soundly.
The next morning.
Leng Ran woke up on a hard stone bed with a terrible headache. She sat up groggily, her thoughts slowly returning. Realizing what she had done the night before, Leng Ran was filled with remorse.
She used to have a very high alcohol tolerance, but last night she got carried away and forgot that she was only seven years old. No wonder she got drunk.
"Ah Li, you're awake. Come and drink your medicine." Jun Han pushed open the door and came in, carrying a bowl of dark, unappetizing stuff that made Leng Ran have no desire to drink it.
Leng Ran spotted a familiar weapon in a corner of the room: a knife wrapped in tattered cloth, lying quietly on the table by the window.
"Junhan, this is...your room?"
“Okay. There are no spare rooms in the camp, Ali, you can stay with me for now,” Jun Han explained.
"The bed is wide enough for the two of us to sleep in."
Leng Ran, who had previously slept in a dormitory with others, didn't mind this, especially since they were all still young.
"Here, drink this medicine to sober up." Jun Han handed over a bowl of dark medicine, coldly suppressing his urge to run away, and swallowed it in large gulps, finishing it in no time.
Jun Han looked at Leng Ran's furrowed brows and couldn't help but laugh, then stuffed a piece of orange-flavored hard candy into Leng Ran's hand.
Leng Ran quickly tore open the packaging and ate it. The sweet aroma of the orange, along with the strong artificial flavor, burst on her tongue, and she instantly felt much better.
"Thank you, Brother Han," Leng Ran said sincerely.
Jun Han was quite pleased with the new title. "I've already brought your luggage in. Ali, pack your things, we're going hunting."
"Okay," Leng Ran readily agreed.
Fifteen minutes later, Leng Ran appeared before everyone, wearing a set of ordinary sportswear that she had taken from the spaceship.
Uncle Yuan looked Leng Ran over, took the metal armor that Jun Han used to wear from the shelf, put it on Leng Ran, and tied two sandbags around his ankles, saying it was for weight training.
The metal armor was much heavier than Leng Ran had expected. After taking only two steps, she lost her balance and fell face down.
Thinking of Jun Han wearing heavy armor and fighting the bully with ease, Leng Ran gained a new understanding of Jun Han's strength.
“Ah Li, you’re too thin and weak. This armor isn’t suitable for you.” Uncle Yuan lifted Leng Ran, who was kissing the ground, like a chick and put her back on the ground. He then helped her remove most of her armor, leaving only two knee pads, wrist guards, and the sandbags for weight training on her feet.
Feeling much lighter, Leng Ran let out a long breath. Although she was still a little uncomfortable, it was much better than the heavy armor she had been wearing before.
Jun Han, now fully equipped, arrived. Seeing Leng Ran transformed into a little kitten, he smiled and led her to fetch well water to wash her face.
Compared to other places in District D, the location of the Wolf Warriors is very special. There is a very precious and luxurious living well, which has caused conflicts with many forces, but in the end, they still managed to keep their territory.
"Brother Han, are you mocking me?" Leng Ran stammered as she washed her face.
"No," Jun Han replied, barely suppressing a laugh.
"Laugh if you want to," Leng Ran said indignantly.
"No." Jun Han couldn't control his smile anymore, looking at Leng Ran whose face was covered in water droplets. "You should practice more, you're too thin."
The Wolf Warriors' camp is very close to Area E; it takes about fifteen minutes to get there by oxcart.
Zone E is a dense forest area inhabited by numerous strange beasts, with the level of the beasts increasing the closer one gets to the inner circle. It is said that a Class B strange beast lives in the central area of Zone E and is the leader of this group of beasts.
Based on their strength, alien beasts are divided into six levels: S, A, B, C, D, and E. Based on their category, they can be divided into primitive alien beasts and mutated alien beasts. Further subdivisions include offensive, supportive, defensive, and so on.
Among them, the S-class alien beasts, possessing golden eyes, are also known as god-level alien beasts. Only level nine mech pilots, or god-level mech pilots, can possibly fight against them. These alien beasts can speak human language and are undoubtedly the kings of alien beasts.
Rank A has purple eyes and possesses formidable combat capabilities. Mech pilots below the rank of Marquis cannot break through their defenses, and they are rarely seen on the battlefield.
Class B alien beasts have blue eyes and possess complex thinking abilities, allowing them to command lower-level alien beasts in battle.
Rank C beasts possess a certain level of thinking ability and have mastered some advanced skills. Rank D and E beasts, on the other hand, act entirely according to their physiological instincts or obey the commands of Rank B or higher beasts.
Given the strength of the War Wolf Mercenary Group, they mostly hunt E-level alien beasts on the outskirts, and the extremely rare D-level alien beasts. If they unfortunately encounter a C-level one, they can only run for their lives.
"Let's just find some E-level beasts on the outskirts today. We'll split into two teams and head out. Xiao Han, Ali, you two go with Uncle Hu's team," Uncle Yuan said.
"Alright, kids, come with me. Ah Li, I'll show you something today." Uncle Tiger is the strongest among them, with a physical level of around level four. He once successfully fought a level D beast all by himself.
Given Leng Ran's current level, it's hard to say whether her physical constitution is even at level two. But her technical skills are definitely above that level. Leng Ran estimates that Jun Han's physical constitution is only at level two.
Uncle Tiger, Uncle Knife, and Leng Ran and Jun Han set off as a group of four. To ensure safety, Uncle Tiger led the way, followed by Leng Ran and Jun Han, and then Uncle Knife.
Uncle Dao is as his name suggests. He is famous not only for the scar on his face, but also for his excellent knife skills. He is also Jun Han's martial arts mentor.
The group carefully advanced through the dense forest and soon encountered two E-level beasts—Night Leopards.
These strange beasts emit faint fluorescent light at dusk to attract prey, as the pitch-black night provides them with excellent camouflage. However, during the day, their all-black bodies make them conspicuous targets. These two are clearly not very intelligent, and they try to pounce on people for a meal whenever they see them.
“A Grade E leopard, perfect. Xiao Han, Ali, you can each have one.” Uncle Tiger said with a smile. “Ali, don’t hold back, let Uncle Tiger see your strength.”
Leng Ran only brought a fruit knife with her today. The Wolf Warriors' camp only had heavy melee weapons, which were really unsuitable for her, so she simply used the weapon she was comfortable with.
The beasts in this world are very similar to those in her world, but while most of the beasts in her previous life were mutated from viral infections, the beasts in this world are purely foreign invaders.
Leng Ran confronted one of the leopards, not making any rash moves. Against such agile beasts, a single, fatal blow was the safest course of action; he couldn't give it a chance to escape.
Finally, the leopard lost its patience and launched the first attack on Leng Ran. The luminous leopard leaped high into the air, its massive jaws agape as it pounced on Leng Ran, intending to swallow the little man before it whole.
Leng Ran remained completely calm. The instant the smoky leopard pounced on him, he suddenly charged forward and slid through the leaping leopard. At the same time, he forcefully stabbed the smoky leopard's soft abdomen with his fruit knife, tearing a long gash that instantly gushed blood.
The leopard, in pain, lay on the ground and growled. With a cold roll, the leopard left the leopard's back, nimbly flipped onto its back, and aimed for the leopard's neck, stabbing down hard.
After letting out a miserable cry, the leopard collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then remained still.
"Beautiful!" Uncle Tiger cheered.
Jun Han, who was standing to the side, had also finished his battle, but he was even more ferocious. The Night Leopard's head was neatly severed, and its body was separated from its head.
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Uncle Dao suggested, "The exit isn't far from here. I'll take the prey out first, and you can rest somewhere else."
The smell of blood can attract higher-level beasts, so it's best to move to a different location as soon as you finish hunting.
By sunset, the four had killed more than ten E-level alien beasts and were preparing to return to their camp with a rich harvest.
