Chapter 43 - Falcon Squad

Chapter 43 - Falcon Squad

Jiang Kai had just left the Safe Zone of the Eighteenth District when a squad arrived at the Safe Zone.

The appearance of this squad immediately caught the attention of others.

"The emblem on their chests... it's the Falcon Squad!"

"I know everyone in the four Falcon squads, but I've never seen these five people before."

"Hmm... I've heard that the Black Tortoise Guild has been preparing for nearly half a year to form the fifth Falcon Squad. Could it be that this is... the fifth Falcon Squad?"

As one of the top ten guilds in China, the Black Tortoise Guild's branch in the Eighteenth District is also a first-tier guild.

The Falcon Squad is one of the most renowned and powerful squads within the Black Tortoise Guild.

The King-level BOSS, the Barefoot Two-headed Giant in King's Valley, was slain by Wei Tianshu, the captain of the first Falcon Squad!

"It's said that to join the Falcon Squad, the minimum requirement is to be an Executioner. Talent and skills are strictly screened, and the individual's overall qualities must be top-notch. In reality, they are all people with physical fitness at the athlete level!"

Even though they are all Executioners and Soldiers, different professional talents and skills often result in significant differences in actual combat performance.

Because of this, although joining the Falcon Squad is a dream for many, the Falcon Squad has only had four teams, a mere 25 people, for a long time.

This includes the main team, the reserve team, and two other squads for focused training.

This shows how high the requirements are for Falcon Squad members.

Many people were curious about this new "Falcon Squad," and someone raised their watch to access the Black Tortoise Guild's announcement.

On the Black Tortoise Guild's official website, there was indeed information about the fifth Falcon Squad, and as usual, the guild released the profiles of the five members.

The Falcon Squad consists of five people: Captain Tian Feng, male, 20 years old, 1.84 meters tall, 68 kilograms, Martial Apprentice profession, passed the Newcomer Trial in Beihe City a year and seven months ago, achieving first place nationwide at the time.

Vice-Captain Xu Xiaoxiao, female, 18 years old, 1.67 meters tall, 54 kilograms, Doctor, participated in the Newcomer Trial in Luocheng for the first time eight months ago, achieving fourth place nationwide.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Bai Lingzhi, male, 21 years old, 1.79 meters tall, 64 kilograms, Martial Apprentice profession, passed the Newcomer Trial in Shencheng two years and three months ago, achieving first place nationwide at the time.

Qin Yong, male, 22 years old, 1.95 meters tall, 86 kilograms, Soldier profession, passed the Newcomer Trial in Shencheng three years ago, achieving third place nationwide at the time.

Liu Yan, female, 19 years old, 1.72 meters tall, 55 kilograms, Martial Apprentice profession, passed the Newcomer Trial in Beihe City six months ago, breaking Shencheng's thirty-year record for the shortest time taken.

Seeing this impressive data, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"A five-person squad with three Martial Apprentices, one Soldier, and one Doctor—what a luxurious setup!"

"This is the Black Tortoise's Falcon Squad, practically a gathering of national champions! Why have they all come to the Eighteenth District?"

Although in the Safe Zone, this newly formed Falcon Squad, only three months old, was not highly ranked, and the members were all quite young, the "Falcon" emblem on their chests was enough to exert a sense of pressure!

This is a squad destined to soar to great heights!

The Falcon Squad had been there for a while, but they didn't seem to be looking for a campsite.

At this moment, a Fortune Teller eagerly ran up to the Falcon Squad.

He looked at them and smiled ingratiatingly, "I just saw a few of you looking so distinguished and extraordinary. It turns out you're the famous Falcon Squad."

"Are you going hunting? I see this is probably your first time here. Would you like a fortune reading? I'm Half Immortal Hu, a Fortune Teller, and I'm quite well-known around here."

"Get lost!" Tian Feng said coldly, then walked past him.

The burly Qin Yong followed the captain, not even glancing at Hu Yan, and pushed him aside, causing him to fall to the ground.

Hu Yan sat on the ground, angrily watching the five backs as they walked away, "Hey, I was just trying to give you a free fortune reading. Why are you so arrogant?"

"Hey, I figured out you're looking for something. Just consider it a free tip from me—what you're looking for is in King's Valley!"

Hearing this, Tian Feng paused slightly but then continued walking, soon leaving the Safe Zone.

Hu Yan got up from the ground, dusted off the dirt from his pants, and looked discontentedly in the direction the five had left.

"They're not even famous yet, and they're already so arrogant... I told you what you're looking for is in King's Valley, but there's a second half to that sentence I didn't say, and I won't tell you!"

With that, Hu Yan happily went off to find his next customer.

After leaving the Safe Zone, the Falcon Squad arrived at a fork in the road. Looking at the two paths, Xu Xiaoxiao asked, "Captain, that fortune teller said what we're looking for is in King's Valley. Do you think it's credible?"

Tian Feng looked ahead and frowned, "The fact that he could tell we're here to find something suggests he might know something..."

"Deer Chase Ridge is the lowest-level area. Huang Da said Jiang Kai is particularly cunning. I suspect he wouldn't go to Deer Chase Ridge."

Liu Yan snorted, "King's Valley is a place he could go? If he encounters a Mighty Black Ape, he wouldn't even know how he died."

Tian Feng shook his head, "Don't underestimate him. Someone who scored over two hundred points in the Newcomer Trial can't be judged by common sense."

"I suspect he has some special talent that allows him to fight above his level!"

"Of course, based on the intelligence we have, he probably doesn't have direct combat abilities, but perhaps some kind of powerful trap or poison technique that might give him a chance to kill high-level beasts."

After hearing the captain's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

Although such powerful talents have never appeared in China before, the facts are clear. Since Jiang Kai was able to kill the Wolf King in the Newcomer Trial, he must have some special means.

With his cunning nature, choosing King's Valley isn't impossible.

"Let's head to King's Valley first. Everyone, be cautious on the way. This is our squad's first mission since its formation, so we can't be careless!" Tian Feng said solemnly.

"Yes, Captain!"

With that, Tian Feng led the team towards King's Valley.

...

Jiang Kai was picking up a Mighty Black Ape's corpse card from the ground. This was the twelfth Mighty Black Ape he had killed.

Since being surrounded by three Mighty Black Apes last time, Jiang Kai had finally learned his lesson.

The dangers of the Calling in the wild are even more terrifying compared to the Newcomer Trial, so he became extremely cautious, trying his best to avoid putting himself in danger.

Since then, he hadn't been discovered by multiple beasts again. He moved steadily, finding the right angle to silently take down solitary giant apes with a single strike.

This made Jiang Kai's kills exceptionally easy.

"Survival skills in the wild mean always knowing how to conceal yourself," Jiang Kai thought, satisfied with his current state.
