"Activate the spacecraft's detection instruments, maintain a detection range of 10,000 kilometers in diameter, and simultaneously maintain a high-intensity detection range of 20 kilometers in diameter," Suk said.
It can explore a range of 1 kilometers, which is a large range, but the accuracy will be very low, and it can only roughly explore the surrounding environment.
A 20-kilometer high-intensity survey would be more precise, capable of detecting any life within the range.
"Master, humanoid life forms have been detected, located 3694 kilometers ahead at the 2 o'clock position, numbering 11."
"Human," the AI reported. "In addition, various ferocious beasts were discovered within the exploration area, numbering around 1."
"So many ferocious beasts?" Suk felt strange, but considering the harsh environment and sparse population, it was probably a place where human power had no influence, so it was not surprising that it had become a den of ferocious beasts.
Ferocious beasts are called ferocious beasts because they are of low intelligence.
In the universe, monsters are mainly divided into two types: "monsters" and "fierce beasts".
Monster races refer to creatures that possess relatively high intelligence, similar to monsters on Earth, even at a "trainee" level in humans.
They are demonic beasts, and the more mature demonic beasts are no less intelligent than humans!
Because they possess intelligence, the demon beast race is one of the most powerful races in the vast universe.
Ferocious beasts possess strength, yet are of low intelligence. They do not know how to learn, and while some are ruthless, others are gentle, their common trait is low intelligence.
Of course, in addition to the two types of monsters, "demonic beasts" and "fierce beasts", there are also "divine beasts", such as the Starry Sky Giant Beast, which is called the "Starry Sky Divine Beast".
"There are indigenous people active here, so they might know more information." Suk thought for a moment and said, "Let's go over there, make contact with the indigenous people, and gather some intelligence."
"Yes, Master," a group of cosmic-level servants replied in unison.
Then Suk and his team took to the sky and flew toward the location they had scouted. At their speed, covering thousands of kilometers was just a blink of an eye. Of course, Suk had already put away the E-class spaceship before that.
Somewhere in the snowfield, a human team was moving cautiously. The team consisted of both men and women, all of whom appeared to be young and were dressed in white combat suits, blending perfectly into the surrounding environment to reduce the chances of being discovered.
"Senior Brother Sa Zhaohong, our sect's assessment this time requires each of us to hunt three ferocious beasts from the snowfield. I've heard that the beasts in the snowfield are not only numerous but also extremely vicious and cunning. I wonder what your plan is?" a girl with bangs asked.
Walking at the front, with white hair, an ordinary face, and a weathered air, Sa Zhaohong turned to look at his fellow disciples. Their sect, "Xue Mang Palace," was the largest sect in this snowy plain. Its founder was a powerful domain lord. There were rumors that the founder came to the remote and cold snowy plain to establish his power because he couldn't make it outside and was ostracized. Of course, this was just a rumor circulating in secret.
As a powerful force that has dominated this place for hundreds of thousands of years, "Xuemang Palace" has attracted many people to come and learn from its masters. After a long period of development, the sect now has more than ten cosmic-level masters and more than ten thousand disciples below the Eternal Star level.
However, the Snowlight Palace is quite strict with its disciples. Every once in a while, each disciple is sent out to carry out various tasks. Some are responsible for managing the faction's industries, some are responsible for guarding a certain faction, and some are like them, who come to hunt beasts in the area. In any case, the sect's disciples are never allowed to be idle. Only when they become cosmic-level can they be considered high-ranking members of the Snowlight Palace.
Sa Zhaohong accepted a sect mission, specifically to lead some rookies from the sect who were experiencing the snowfield for the first time in a beast-hunting assessment. He had to ensure that not too many people died, otherwise his mission evaluation would be very low, and if the casualties were too heavy, he would be punished by the sect.
Sa Zhaohong, a level eight cultivator of the Hengxing realm, had brought newcomers to hunt ferocious beasts before. He patiently answered his junior sister's question, "There are many ferocious beasts in the snowfield, so we need to observe carefully before discussing and finally taking action. Moreover, from what I understand, in addition to some beasts that come in packs, there are also some that are alone. Let's find a lone one for you to practice on first and get used to it so that you won't be caught off guard." This was exactly the procedure for training newcomers.
"Oh." The junior sister didn't say anything either, but there was a hint of tension in the eyes of every young person in the group.
Finally, they spotted two ferocious beasts traveling together at the edge of the woods ahead.
Sa Zhaohong activated his auxiliary quantum computer and, after observing the two ferocious beasts from afar, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Two unicorn snow bears, one at the second level of the Eternal Star Realm and the other at the third level of the Eternal Star Realm, that's them."
Sa Zhaohong looked at his fellow disciples behind him and said, "You ten people will split into two teams of five and go deal with those two. Remember, don't panic. They can't beat you. Just be careful. I'll be watching from the sidelines."
Seeing his fellow disciples nod earnestly, Sa Zhaohong surveyed the surroundings and, finding it seemingly safe, gave a soft shout: "Make your move!"
With a whoosh, eleven figures burst out of the snow where they were hiding, charging towards the two large snow bears.
The two snow bears, each with a brown horn on its forehead, were about eight meters long and had a large, plump body. Their bodies were covered in white fur that looked soft but was actually hard. They were walking leisurely in the snow when they suddenly raised their heads alertly. In their brown eyes, they saw a group of unfamiliar two-legged creatures rushing towards them with hostility.
"Roar!" Being a lowly beast with limited intelligence, it didn't know how to retreat. Instead, it roared angrily, stomping its limbs heavily on the ground as it launched an attack on the intruders.
The young men, divided into two teams, surrounded and attacked the area.
Sa Zhaohong watched calmly from the side without saying a word.
All he needed to do was ensure that these younger generations could return alive. As for injuries, with so many people attacking two weak beasts and still getting hurt, they deserved it.
These young people seemed to have practiced their teamwork beforehand. Although they were a little flustered at first, as the battle progressed, they found that the two seemingly ferocious snow bears were not so scary after all. They quickly calmed down and began to gang up on the two beasts, trying to kill them. The light in their eyes turned into excitement.
Half of the team consisted of martial artists responsible for close-quarters combat and restraint, along with an illusionist and four controllers. Working together, they indeed held a firm advantage.
Hunting ferocious beasts in the snowfield usually involves forming teams like this to increase safety. After all, hunting ferocious beasts typically takes some time, and having companions to help you survive in the perilous snowfield makes it easier to survive.
"Roar." The severely injured unicorn snow bear let out an angry roar, which carried far and wide, and soon one roar after another echoed in the distance.
"Hurry up! They're already calling for their companions. Do you want to be chased by a pack of ferocious snow beasts?" Sa Zhaohong, who was watching from the sidelines, said coldly.
Hunting ferocious beasts is most dangerous at this time; if a small team falls into the encirclement of ferocious beasts, problems can easily arise.
The sect disciples who were fighting also realized that the situation was dangerous, so they all used all their strength to attack the vital points of the two one-horned snow bears. Although the one-horned snow bears were huge and had thick skin and flesh, they gradually could not withstand it. The first snow bear fell down, and the second one followed suit.
"Quickly, cut off their horns, we need to leave here immediately," Sa Zhaohong urged, glancing at the place in the distance where snow dust was rising, his expression turning serious.
The young men, forgetting their joy, quickly cut off the snow bear's single horn and then retreated swiftly under Sa Zhaohong's leadership.
This scene was witnessed by Suk and his men, who were hiding in the shadows.
