Ata Srem was initially troubled by the crocodiles and pythons near the base. The United States is a country prone to invasive species, especially now with the abundance of spiritual energy, leading to a large number of mutated pythons and crocodiles.
The proliferation of these animals even threatened the safety of the base. Fortunately, the mutated crocodiles and pythons provided energy cores, so Ata Srem issued many tasks to capture them.
He initially thought that completing these tasks would require a team of nearly a hundred people and considerable time.
However, to his surprise, Ling Tian and Ali were truly monstrous, wiping out crocodiles and pythons within a radius of tens of kilometers.
What Ata Srem didn't know was that the largest crocodiles and pythons in this area had all been collected by Ling Tian into his spiritual realm space and were undergoing transformation in the Beast Taming Garden.
Ling Tian and Ali collected over 10 catties of energy cores and then exchanged them for crystal coins.
Although Ali, as a cat demon, could cultivate by devouring energy cores, the purity of the cores from these crocodiles and pythons was very poor, and Ali didn't really fancy them.
Moreover, the attributes of these cores were somewhat different from Ali's own attributes.
Ling Tian then took these crystal coins to the office area of the Demon Hunter Guild. Here, he used his computer to exchange for many materials. These materials were strange and varied, with different attributes, and some were not even seen in China.
Of course, some of these materials were in stock, while for others, as soon as Ling Tian placed an order and paid the crystal coins, the Demon Hunter Guild would dispatch specialized personnel from the headquarters' warehouse to transport them.
One morning, as Ling Tian was just getting up, Aurora walked over and informed him that in Maple Leaf Country, a successor to the assassinated lawyer Bentancur had been arranged.
This lawyer was even stronger than lawyer Bentancur, and more importantly, he was sent by the Hughes family. This way, even if the Gustav family was dissatisfied, they would not dare to resort to underhanded tactics against this lawyer.
After all, resorting to underhanded tactics against the Hughes family could easily provoke a fierce retaliation from them.
Just then, someone rang the doorbell. Ling Tian went to open it and found a base staff member. The staff member said that Ata Srem had invited him. So, Ling Tian, along with Aurora and Feng Xiaoxi, went to Ata Srem's residence.
Ata Srem lived on the top floor of the base building. The top floor had a huge platform with a swimming pool and a sky garden. At the moment, Ata Srem was sitting comfortably on the sofa, shirtless.
However, upon seeing Ling Tian and Aurora arrive, he quickly got up and respectfully arranged for the three of them to sit down.
"Oh, Mr. Lin, Ms. Aurora, Christina, hello. Why isn't Miss Kate here?"
"She's tired and sleeping."
Ling Tian wasn't lying. Ali had gone out to play until midnight last night and after returning today, she directly entered the spiritual realm space to sleep. Ali still had a deep sense of caution towards this world, and apart from Ling Tian's home, she rarely slept anywhere else.
"I see.
Well, Mr. Lin, Ms. Aurora, I've invited you here because I have a humble request..."
"If you have something to say, just say it. If we can help, we won't refuse," Ling Tian replied. Aurora, on the side, remained silent, appearing like an ice queen.
"I hope you all can temporarily stop hunting crocodiles and pythons in this vicinity..." Ata Srem said with a somewhat conflicted expression.
"Reason. I want a reasonable explanation!" Aurora replied in a cold tone. However, her tone made Ata Srem uneasy, as he couldn't determine whether Aurora was angry or just spoke that way.
"On one hand, our work of clearing out mutated pythons and crocodiles has been largely completed. It will take at least one or two years for the crocodiles and pythons here to return to their previous state...
On the other hand, other members of the Demon Hunter Guild also came for this mission, but you killed all the crocodiles and pythons, causing many to have made a wasted trip and harbor grievances..."
Aurora didn't speak, but looked up at Ling Tian. The two exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without words.
Although to outsiders, Ling Tian was just Aurora's bodyguard, in reality, Ling Tian had always been the dominant one between them.
"What you said makes some sense. It's not impossible for us to stop hunting crocodiles and pythons, but we also traveled a long way. We can stop hunting, but there should be some compensation."
"No problem, your request is very reasonable!
How about this, you can choose some tasks with correspondingly higher difficulty, and as compensation, I'll give you double the reward!
What do you think?"
"Very good, then it's settled!"
Soon, Ling Tian and the others, accompanied by staff, arrived at the main hall of the Demon Hunter Guild. In a separate office next to the hall, they spent a long time selecting tasks on the computer and finally settled on one: demon hunting.
The United States, being a country with a vast territory and sparse population, can be described as rich in resources. The term "vast territory and abundant resources" is not out of place when applied to the United States.
In such a large territory, it is not surprising to encounter all sorts of demons and monsters. In the United States, the most common are various kinds of demons.
Some legends about these demons have been passed down since the time of the Native Americans.
Unlike the legends of monsters and spirits in other countries, where there are both evil and benevolent beings, and even stories of human-demon romance or lingering human-ghost affections,
In the United States, all demons are evil, aiming to destroy everything.
The demons that appear in the United States can be broadly categorized into several types.
One type is the Faceless Ones. These demons resemble humans, but on their faces, there are no eyes, nose, or ears, only a large mouth that runs across the entire face.
These demons have hard teeth in their mouths, capable of easily tearing human flesh.
Another interesting characteristic of the Faceless Ones is that their joints can bend 180 degrees.
Ordinary human joints can only bend 90 degrees in one direction, while these Faceless Ones' joints can bend 180 degrees.
For example, a human knee can only bend backward, but their knees can bend forward as well as backward. This special ability often leads people to suffer hidden losses when fighting Faceless Ones.
Furthermore, the Faceless Ones are extremely swift. Even ordinary people find it difficult to hit them with firearms.
