"Keep going!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan took out an iron hammer from the dimensional space, took a deep breath, and smashed it down with force.
With a soft thud, the hyena felt something suddenly pierce into its head.
The moment the thing crawled in, the hyena was instantly stunned.
The hyena didn't even realize what was happening to it before its mind went blank, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The hyena was dead, and Lu Yuan and the others cheered.
However, the next thing is more troublesome, because the location of the hyenas is very close to the hyena pack's territory. If the hyenas are slaughtered here, the smell of their blood will definitely attract the hyena packs that have gone far away, and they may run into trouble.
After a brief discussion, Lu Yuan decided to leave the hyena here for now and slaughter it all together after killing enough hyenas.
So everyone took a short rest, ate something, and then set up the traps again.
This time the trap is in a different location, not far from the previous hyena, but in a different direction. This effectively avoids the smell of blood, which would lure the hyena in another direction.
That very night, the hyena pack discovered that one of their members was missing, and they howled mournfully towards the sky.
This howling sounded like someone was crying, but it was different from the howling of wolves. The howling of hyena packs sounded eerie and sent chills down your spine.
The wind was strong on the grassland at night, howling so hard that the torches in the camp could not burn very high.
The bonfire that Lu Yuan and the others had built was being blown back and forth by the wind.
They huddled by the fire chatting, a common practice after battles. After each mission, they would call out the person who performed the best to share their experience.
Then those who didn't complete the task made a self-criticism, and that's how everyone maintained this fine tradition without anyone mocking them.
Lu Yuan was almost always at the forefront of the operation. After seeing Lu Yuan share his hunting methods, Zhou Tong's face lit up with a hint of joy.
He glanced in Lu Yuan's direction and said, "How about I take on the hyena hunting mission tomorrow? I'd like to give it a try. After all, I've already consumed a second-tier mutated beast crystal. It seems a bit inappropriate not to use it. It's not right to keep some of my strength hidden away and not always rely on you to use your spells!"
As soon as Zhou Tong finished speaking, Kobe, who was standing next to him, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I think what Lao Zhou said is right. Instead of letting you do all the work, why don't we all take turns in the future!"
Shen Hu's words were simply outrageous, and Lu Yuan would certainly not agree to this approach.
If some people are unwell or lack the ability to actually rush in, the price they pay could be their lives.
He didn't want to drag people out to practice, and scheduling should be based on voluntariness. Some people might be reluctant to participate, but who would be responsible for the life they paid in the end?
Lu Yuan wanted to be responsible for each master, so after rejecting Shen Hu's suggestion, he devised a plan: anyone who was eligible could come to him to register, and after a series of tests, a decision would be made on whether they could join.
As for the test content, Lu Yuan lay in the tent, constantly replaying the test content in his mind throughout the night.
First of all, it's all about strength. Strength is absolutely essential. In order to pass the test, he must be able to pierce the prey's skull with the blade, up to three times. If he exceeds that number, he will fail.
This is necessary because the prey won't give you many opportunities to stab something into its head.
The second test is movement speed. With agile movement speed, escaping is definitely a great option. You need to get rid of the monster in the shortest amount of time when it catches up with you, so you need a very agile movement speed.
The last one is the body coordination test. This requires testing with various things together. Otherwise, if the body coordination doesn't meet the standard, and someone falls from a tree and fails to catch the prey's fur, which ends up in their mouth, that would be really bad.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Yuan still didn't know when he had fallen asleep.
When I woke up the next morning, I heard a clanging sound outside.
He rubbed his eyes, lifted the tent flap, and watched as his people ate and chatted.
So he quickly washed up and sat down to discuss today's action plan with everyone.
Zhou Tong's physical fitness is undoubtedly excellent. Among them, besides Lu Yuan, Zhou Tong is the best, so he can pass the test without even having to think about it.
The reason Lu Yuan sent Zhou Tong today was not only because Zhou Tong requested it, but also because he wanted to see if his men could complete the mission.
If Zhou Tong can complete the task, then he can find a way to make a living later.
Lu Yuan had secretly compiled a combat strength chart of everyone in the entire camp.
The table lists Lu Yuan, Zhou Tong, Shen Hu, and Hei Zi at the very top, forming a ladder-like arrangement.
Lu Yuan plans to test them individually and then teach them some similar values. Once they can meet their standards, they can complete the task independently.
