The Cold Hunter King Who Didn't Fail: His Future is Uncertain

"Boss Zhan Kong, now that you mention it, Bai Yang does seem to have some issues."

"I discovered that the reason the Dark Wolf Beast is so ferocious is because its blood is mixed with something else. I even extracted a sample." Lin Mian took out the Dark Wolf Beast's blood serum. This substance can be easily identified through examination.

"If Bai Yang's identity is confirmed, the military will reward you."

After hearing Lin Mian say this, Zhan Kong also found Bai Yang suspicious.

They're rarely seen, and when asked, they're always training the Ghost Wolf Beasts.

As the only summoning-type military mage in Bo City, Bai Yang didn't say much to Zhan Kong.

But it's different now.

And just now, he smelled a rotten odor coming from Bai Yang.

That was the scent of someone who had used the Black Beast Demon.

"I don't care about the reward, the main problem is that he wasn't very friendly to me," Lin Mian said.

"Leave it to me."

Zhan Kong's expression turned serious. He then gathered his men and left the awards stage.

……

That night, Bai Yang was captured by Zhan Kong.

Not only were they tied up hand and foot, but their faces were also slapped until they looked like pig heads.

After the other military mages learned that Bai Yang was a traitor to the Black Church and intended to kill Lin Mian, they used every ounce of strength to whip him!

Bai Yang was beaten so badly that he couldn't even speak.

Furthermore, under severe torture, they interrogated the Cursed Sect about the origin of the Fountain of Fury and the Black Church's plans.

However, Bai Yang died inexplicably not long after...

Lin Mian received a ten million yuan bonus, and what happened after that was no longer his concern.

……

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

As the saying goes, the sea of ​​knowledge is boundless, and magic is limitless!

Lin Mian's diligent cultivation, coupled with the twice-fast cultivation speed provided by the Spirit-grade Stardust Magic Artifact, allowed him to achieve his goals.

Lin Mian's Light and Summoning skills have successfully broken through to the third level of the initial stage!

The ten million yuan I received for reporting Bai Yang was well spent.

A small sack of light-elemental spirit seed fragments allowed Mika to successfully break through to the intermediate warrior level!

Lin Mian's next step is to head to Shanghai!

Compared to Bocheng, Lin Mian actually understood better where the opportunities lay in Shanghai.

According to the original work, the best choice is to become a hunter at the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds.

Then he became Dean Xiao's apprentice.

Or perhaps become an apprentice of the master blacksmith Huo Tuo...

However, Lin Mian can't become a blacksmith, so let's forget about the latter.

Although these methods are old, they are definitely the most effective ones.

It is said that people are filled with fear of the unknown.

Wouldn't someone who doesn't utilize foresight be a fool?

Previously, Lin Mian was not strong enough to be a hunter in the hunting camp, but now it's different!

He was determined to go to the Demon City to break through to the intermediate level, then come back to defeat Yu Ang, seize the Earthly Holy Spring, and do his best to save Bo City from disaster!

……

Mu Ningxue was in the capital, so after a brief farewell to Xin Xia, Lin Mian boarded the high-speed train to Shanghai.

Upon arriving in Shanghai, Lin Mian dragged his suitcase and followed the map to find the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

In the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds, there is Song Qiming, a priest of the previous generation of the Holy Judgment Academy, whose strength has reached the level of forbidden spell cultivation!

Not only is his strength unfathomable, but he also holds a transcendent position in the magical world.

Moreover, the Qingtian Hunting Grounds also has a top elementary school student: Leng Lingling.

Although he doesn't have much ability, his intelligence is second to none!

If you want to hunt monsters and make money in a safe and efficient way, Qingtian Hunting Grounds is undoubtedly the best choice.

Lin Mian took a taxi to the street where Qingtian Hunting Grounds was located.

The old-fashioned signboard stands out in the retro street scene, exuding a sense of vicissitudes and clearly having a long history.

"This is it, Xiaomi. Our starting point in Shanghai!"

"Mika!"

Lin Mian pushed open the door and entered, carrying Mika on his shoulder.

The interior of the hunting lodge was simpler and more rustic than I had imagined.

A little girl with pigtails sat in front of a wooden counter, while an old man sat behind the counter reading a newspaper.

The doorbell rang softly, and the little girl, without even looking up, said, "The starting price for a commission is 300,000, with the final price depending on the difficulty."

Lin Mian approached the counter and smiled slightly: "I'm here to apply for a job."

Lingling turned around and looked him up and down: "If you're looking for a job, turn right after you leave. There's a hotel that's hiring male models. You're not bad looking, so your monthly salary is probably over ten thousand."

"Plus your sprite, that's a huge highlight!"

"I really came here to apply for a hunter position," Lin Mian said helplessly.

This wicked society!

What's wrong with looking young and handsome?

What's wrong with Xiaomi being cute?

As a result, the little girl insisted on becoming a male model!

"You're a minor, right? You're too young, we don't want you. Male models are more suitable for you. Here's a phone number you can contact."

Lingling looked at Lin Mian carefully again, then wrote down a phone number on a piece of paper and handed it over.

"Does your organization consider age?" Lin Mian was momentarily speechless after taking the phone number.

"I've never seen this summoned creature on you before; it's quite unique. But have you ever hunted demons? What's your hunter level?" Lingling continued to ask.

Lin Mian shrugged, preparing to pull out his elite hunter qualification certificate.

At this moment, Song Qiming put down his newspaper, looked over with a smile, and asked, "Young man, what's your name?"

"Lin Mian is from Bocheng," Lin Mian said.

"Your cultivation is quite solid, and your summoning skills are also impressive. Judging from your aura, you've hunted demons before," Song Qi asked.

"Yes."

Lin Mian took out his elite hunter qualification certificate.

"Elite hunter?"

"good!"

The grandfather and grandson both looked surprised, and their gazes toward Lin Mian became more serious.

"Bo City... isn't a big city, so it seems you're not from a prominent family either."

"An elite hunter among high school students, you're exceptionally talented! Your summoned beast isn't as cute as it looks, is it?"

Lingling had an air of mature sophistication, but a hint of admiration for Lin Mian flashed in her eyes.

And then he started looking the cute Mika up and down.

Putting aside the fact that Lin Mian is an elite hunter, his courage to actually become a demon hunter is completely different from that of those students who are still in the ivory tower.

Lingling misjudged it from the beginning.

"Lingling, you've come to make a request?"

At this moment, a man with a heroic face and a burly figure came down from upstairs.

When Lin Mian saw the face of this upright middle-aged man, he was shocked!

The seventh generation of the Chinese Hunter King.

Cold Hunter King!

Leng Lingling's father!

It seems that at this point in time, Cold Hunter King has not yet died at the hands of Red Devil.

"Young man, do you know me?" Cold Hunter King asked Lin Mian.

"Dad, you're the King of Hunters. You can tell from Lin Mian's expression that he definitely knows you," Lingling said.

"I do know him. I've long admired the name of the Cold Hunter King," Lin Mian said.

I don't know them.

Lin Mian even knows how the Cold Hunter King died.

After learning that Lin Mian wanted to be a hunter, Cold Hunter King patted him heavily on the shoulder and said:

"Lin Mian, you look a lot like me when I was young."

"My dream back then was to become a hunter, to slay demons and maintain social order."

Lin Mian smiled; the Cold Hunter King was indeed righteous.

"You should only make money by hunting monsters," Lingling said.

"That's right." Besides maintaining world peace, Lin Mian was also doing it to make money.

Otherwise, someone that age would definitely be bedridden.

"My granddaughter is more mature than most people, so you don't need to worry about her," Song Qiming said.

Suddenly remembering something, Cold Hunter asked, "But you should be in school at your age. Where are your parents? Why are they demon hunters?"

"They were military mages who sacrificed themselves fighting against demons when I was very young."

"I came to Shanghai to make money and gain experience. I can't learn anything truly useful in school anymore, so I might as well venture out into the world sooner."

Lin Mian answered truthfully.

"I'm sorry..." A hint of apology flashed across Cold Hunter's face.

He never imagined that this boy's background would be so difficult.

With no ties to their heads and a clearer understanding of what they want, it's no wonder they chose this perilous path with their summoned beasts.

Song Qiming lit his pipe, took a deep drag, closed his eyes, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring: "It's good that young people are energetic... but if they lose their lives, they'll never have the chance to enjoy their youth again."

He changed the subject, his eyes showing understanding: "But since this is the situation... then stay."

"Grandpa, we haven't even checked Lin Mian's cultivation level yet, and we're being so hasty," Lingling said.

The hunting grounds have a rule that they do not accept mages below the intermediate level, and this rule has never been broken.

"No need to look anymore, I can already tell. It's the third level of the initial stage, and the summoned beast is a light elemental creature. It's very impressive for its age."

"If you train him, he'll be no worse than Qin Zhan in the future."

Song Qiming smiled slightly at Lin Mian.

Qin Zhan refers to the Cold Hunter King.

Lin Mian gasped.

This old man's cultivation level is far too high.

I just don't know if anyone noticed his innate lineage.

Anyway, I finally got the job.

But Cold Hunter King is still safe and sound.

Does that mean that if Lin Mian follows Leng Lie Wang, he might accidentally encounter the Red Demon?

The Red Devil is immortal.

Lin Mian suddenly felt that the future was not very promising.
