High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 208 - 184: Hunter Association, the Power of the Blade

From a bird’s-eye view, Blue Star has numerous massive holes leading deep into the earth. Humans have constructed strict military fortifications around these holes, and cities avoid and distance themselves from these holes.

These holes are the Beast Caves!

No one knows where the original Beast Caves came from. At the moment of the beast tide’s appearance, humans at that time discovered these holes suddenly appeared.

A thousand years ago, these Beast Caves nearly destroyed human civilization, and the fierce beasts once pushed humanity to the brink of extinction, which marked the beginning of the Martial Dao Civilization.

Huaxia established governors in East China, South China, Western China, North China, and Central China not only due to geographical reasons but also because there were five Giant Beast Caves within Huaxia.

Giant Beast Caves, the caves where Martial Saint level fierce beasts were born.

Large Beast Caves, the caves where over ten Great Grandmaster-level fierce beasts were born during a beast tide.

Medium-Large Beast Caves, the caves where Grandmaster-level fierce beasts were born during a beast tide.

Medium-sized Beast Caves, the caves where over ten Grandmaster-level fierce beasts were born during a beast tide.

Small Beast Caves, the caves where there is a possibility of birthing Grandmaster-level fierce beasts during a beast tide.

The Blue Star Alliance classified Beast Caves into the above five levels, and even the smallest Beast Cave has a certain probability of birthing Grandmaster-level fierce beasts during a beast tide.

As for the highest-level Giant Beast Caves, they can even birth Martial Saint level fierce beasts, which are incredibly terrifying and enormous.

According to records, the length of the Two-headed Flood Dragon that was slain by the Great Sage was several hundred meters, with each scale on its body as tall as a person.

Compared to Alien Race Battlefields, Beast Caves are much more formidable. The difference is evident from the armies stationed outside the Beast Caves, where tens of thousands troops are stationed outside the Alien Race Battlefields.

Whereas outside the Beast Caves, there are often two to three hundred thousand, or even larger, military corps stationed. Additionally, high-tier martial artists who are rarely seen in Huaxia are not so scarce in the Beast Cave regions.

South Mountain City is located in the southern part of Guangshen Province, on the east bank of Zhujiang, adjacent to Daya Bay and Great Roc Bay to the east, bordering Zhujiang and Lingdingyang to the west, and connecting with the Kowloon Special Zone to the south.

In its southern part lies a special Beast Cave, once the sixth Giant Beast Cave within Huaxia. It was here that the Great Sage, accompanied by one follower, ventured deep into the cave and eventually slew the Two-headed Flood Dragon.

However, the danger rating of this Giant Beast Cave has been continuously downgraded, and now it is classified as a Medium-sized Beast Cave. Even in the last hundred years, the fierce beasts have never surged out of the Beast Cave and remain relatively docile within it.

Everyone speculates that the Great Sage might have done something to this Beast Cave, perhaps attempting to find a way to completely eliminate it.

Although the danger rating of the Beast Cave has been downgraded to Medium-sized, it still contains many extremely rare resources.

In this respect, this Beast Cave remains the same as the Giant Beast Cave.

This peculiarity has attracted mid to high-tier martial artists from all over Huaxia to hunt fierce beasts and accumulate wealth. Due to South Mountain City’s unique geographical location, it is not only convenient for water and land transportation but also adjacent to the Kowloon Special Zone.

The Kowloon Special Zone has Huaxia’s policy support and is the largest black market in the South China Region and even in Asia, with many foreign merchants coming and going.

Thus, the fierce beasts hunted and the resources obtained from the Beast Caves can be quickly sold off, converting into continuous wealth.

The combination of policy, geography, Beast Caves, and black market profits has quickly propelled South Mountain City from a backward frontier town in Guangshen Province to a super first-tier city in Huaxia, and in recent years, it has even shown signs of surpassing the provincial capital, Yangcheng.

"Hunter Association." A burly man murmured, looking up slightly.

The emblem of the Hunter Association is a fearsome Two-headed Flood Dragon, modeled after the Martial Saint level fierce beast slain by the Great Sage, symbolizing the hope for strong warriors capable of slaying the Two-headed Flood Dragon to emerge within the association.

Before setting off, the teacher had suggested visiting the Hunter Association, as this identity is useful in South Mountain City and any black market location, more so than being part of the Martial Arts Association or a captain in the Southern War Zone, and it’s not too conspicuous.

The burly man withdrew his gaze and strode inside.

The mixed scent of various alcoholic beverages filled the air, but because the aroma was too strong, it carried a hint of stench. Inside, there was a lively buzz, with people eating and drinking heartily.

"Did you hear? That kid ’Short Blade’ got lucky yesterday and came across a nest of Tier Five Fierce Beast Eggs. Those are valuable. A high-quality one is worth several kilos of Spirit Marrow." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I heard, and the ’Blood Wolf Corps’ also struck it rich. They reportedly dug up some pieces of mithril."

"Mithril?!"

"Hehehe, a batch of new foreign girls came to East Street. Shall we go try them out later?"

The man’s burly figure drew quite a few gazes as he entered the association. Many hunters looked at him habitually, while others fixed their gaze on the burly man.

"Hello, I’d like to register as a Hunter."

A blonde, mixed-race woman at the association’s front desk glanced up and extended her hand, "Registration fee is thirty low-grade Spirit Stones. If you need a special badge, there’s an additional charge of twenty low-grade Spirit Stones."

"Fill out this form, please."

"If you wish to establish a Hunting Corps, there’s a fee of three hundred low-grade Spirit Stones."

The man directly took out thirty low-grade Spirit Stones and started filling out the form.
