However, very soon.
Several people rushed out as if they were mad!
"Inside, there are mountain monsters, mountain monsters..."
"Three are dead!"
"Ah, what should we do!"
The few who fled back were so scared they had peed themselves, completely lacking the confidence they had when mocking Su Han. Now, Su Han went up to check and found that the stone door had not been opened, and the mechanism was intact.
The deceased were shaken to death by a roar from inside. They all died at the entrance, with blood flowing from their ears and noses, appearing as if their internal organs had been shattered.
"Seal this place!"
This time, no one dared to defy Su Han's words. Everyone followed his instructions and sealed the area tightly.
On the way back.
Zhen Ji was somewhat surprised because Su Han was accompanied by a strangely looking dog. It was only about the size of a regular husky, but its entirely dark red color was peculiar. Furthermore, the dog had an iron chain around its neck, which looked very sturdy.
"Su Han, where did you pick up this dog?" Zhen Ji asked.
Su Han looked at the Lava Crystal Beast beside him and thought that if this creature were a dog, it would be the fiercest dog in the world. After the incident, he decided to keep the Lava Crystal Beast by his side. Fortunately, the Lava Crystal Beast could shrink its size, which solved the problem.
"Mm-hmm, I found a dog in the cave just now. I didn't want to take it, but it kept following me, so I had no choice but to adopt it. I've named it Xiao Hong!"
As if very displeased with its name, the Lava Crystal Beast let out a series of low growls.
"Fine, let's call it Da Hong!"
Feeling that Da Hong was not bad, the Lava Crystal Beast remained silent.
Zhen Ji was delighted, finding the dog very cute, with its only drawback being its somewhat fierce demeanor. After playing for a while, she didn't pay it much mind and went back to report her mission.
...
In the evening.
In Elder Jing's office, Su Han was giving his description.
"You're saying you encountered an extremely terrifying existence today, one that even you are not confident about?" Elder Jing was shocked, as he knew Su Han's strength. Most corpse monsters were no match for Su Han.
Yet today, he had retreated without even seeing the unknown life form!
"Yes, I'm not sure what it was. Three people went in today to check the situation, but they were shaken to death by a roar through the stone door..."
After Su Han's description, Elder Jing immediately understood that this was no simple matter!
He had to contact the higher-level mysterious department to handle this. For now, he could only put the matter aside and wait for an expert to arrive before making any plans!
"Is the scene sealed?"
"Yes."
Elder Jing sighed. Fortunately, there was a mechanism blocking it; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Alright, then we can only wait for the top experts from above. During this time, be careful when you are on missions outside. Generally, when such a large creature appears, other powerful beings will be attracted to the vicinity. Everyone, be careful!"
Emerging from Elder Jing's office, Su Han went to the mission center again.
It had to be said.
The mission rewards here were quite generous, and he was now able to accept missions himself.
Wang Lisha, the receptionist at the mission center, looked listless!
Seeing Su Han arrive, her eyes immediately lit up, and she became overjoyed.
"Su Han! Where have you been these past few days? Why haven't you come to the mission hall?" Wang Lisha asked excitedly.
Su Han shrugged. He had only been away for two days, and Wang Lisha was exaggerating too much. Moreover, he had only just qualified to accept missions.
"Sister Lisha, please check for me, what high-level missions are available now!"
"High-level missions?" Wang Lisha looked surprised, as Su Han was considered a newcomer, and it was very rare for someone to immediately ask for high-level missions.
However, when she pulled up Su Han's profile on the computer, she was instantly dumbfounded!
"Uh... Rank A! You can accept the highest Rank S missions. This..." Wang Lisha was completely bewildered. She knew that this mission rank was only accessible to extremely powerful geniuses like Zhen Ji, and what Wang Lisha couldn't understand was how Su Han had become Rank A in just three days.
In short, with her experience, she could no longer ascertain the true capabilities of this young man.
"You... are you really a newcomer?"
Su Han chuckled and said faintly, "That's right. As we are only meeting for the second time, I repeat what I said before: please give me the strongest mission, because I need it!"
Su Han felt that he needed to strengthen himself rapidly, and being able to accept the strongest missions was one of the fastest ways!
Moreover, when he undertook missions now, he could carry out soul extraction without any reservations!
Wang Lisha raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Su Han, please wait a moment!"
Soon.
Three missions were placed before Su Han: one Rank S and two Rank A.
"You can accept all three of these missions, but my advice is that you should first accept a simpler mission, like Rank B or C, to be on the safe side. For Rank A and Rank S missions, it's best to team up to prevent any accidents!" Wang Lisha advised sincerely.
Su Han shook his head repeatedly. This time, he was going to perform soul extraction, and it would be difficult to operate with teammates.
"I'll take all three!"
Without further ado, Su Han immediately took all three missions. According to regulations, this was not allowed, but before Wang Lisha could object, Su Han had already taken the mission orders.
Coupled with Su Han's handsomeness, she didn't mention this matter!
"Two Rank A, one Rank S! I should plan the route..."
Su Han took out a map and quickly planned the route. Currently, one Rank A mission was closest to him, located in the Jiangnan Yunding Mountain Villa area. It would take about an hour and a half to drive there.
"This one it is!"
Arriving quickly at the location, Su Han found the surrounding environment to be very quiet, as if the residents had moved out.
As for his contact, it was the proprietress of a villa in Yunding Mountain. She looked somewhat mentally broken, holding a lady's cigarette and constantly blowing smoke rings.
"Hello, are you Ms. Wu? Can you tell me what happened here?" Su Han asked, immediately handing over his credentials.
The woman's name was Wu Wanting, and she was the proprietress. When she reported the case, her husband, the owner of the villa, had already died mysteriously. This was the third case in the villa area.
Suddenly, the residents of the villa area were in a panic and chose to flee!
"So, your husband spent three nights in the villa with some inexplicable fellow?" Su Han asked with surprise after hearing the introduction.
