Seventeen departments, a total of seventeen squads, the higher the ranking, the more powerful, this time it is the tenth squad responsible for hunting and killing the beasts in the water, ranked in the middle, the captain's name is Xu Ye, a foundation realm cultivator, he is only in his forties this year, he is in the prime of life, and it is even possible to break through to a real person in the future.

And the reason why he became a member of the Seventeenth Department was to earn more merits, get guidance from real people, and exchange the resources needed for cultivation.

At this time, Xu Ye stood at the bow of the boat, his face looked a little cold, his eyes swept over the river from time to time, and his brows frowned slightly, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a trace of anxiety in the depths of his eyes.

He was on an ordinary fishing boat, on both sides, and two smaller ones, with the two boats in front and the middle one behind, forming a closed posture.

"Captain, that beast is too cunning, isn't it? If it goes on like this, our mission will be enough to make the Ninth Squad's grandsons proud again. Next to Xu Ye, an inch-headed young man in a pitch-black combat uniform said, and he was also carrying an exaggerated machete in his hand, the blade was as sharp as snow.

The young man's name is Zhang Qing, a fighter of the tenth squad, and he is also one of the strongest people.

Usually, the number of squads in the seventeen departments is seven to twelve people, mainly depending on their own run-in, for example, the first squad that always occupies the top of the seventeen divisions has only seven members, named after the Big Dipper.

And the tenth squad, although not the largest, has ten people.

Except for the captain Xu Ye, who is a cultivator of the Foundation Building Realm, only three of the team are cultivators, Zhang Qing is one of them, in addition, the rest of the members are top elites in all aspects, such as Xu Ye's tenth squad, which not only has personnel who are good at various high-tech equipment, but also has a soldier king from a special scout, and even the top snipers, as well as field doctors, which belong to all-round development.

After all, the number of cultivators is already scarce, Xu Ye has tried his best, and so far he has only managed to win over three cultivators, and the rest are the soldiers he selected from the major special forces, and after special training, he can become a qualified member of the Seventeenth Division.

At this moment, the nine members of the 10th squad are distributed among the three fishing boats, and the remaining one is operating the underwater reconnaissance equipment on the shore, which is also to prevent the beasts from attacking the fishing boats and causing unnecessary damage.

On Xu Ye's ship, a mast was erected, and there was a platform on it, and at the moment there was a person lying on his stomach, holding a special heavy sniper in his arms, and the power was not good even if a beast was shot.

If you add Xu Ye, a cultivator of the foundation realm, he can basically deal with most of the fierce beasts, but this time, that fierce beast lives in the water, and it is extremely cunning, after a few fights, neither side has taken advantage.

"What else would you do? Do you dare to go down?" Xu Ye said lightly.

Hearing that he was going to enter the water, Zhang Qing immediately withered, although he was good at water, but he was not arrogant enough to fight a fierce beast underwater, I am afraid that the result is that there are no bones left in his swallowed bones, after all, he has not yet reached the foundation building realm.

"By the way, captain, haven't you already applied for assistance from above? Why hasn't anyone come yet?" Zhang Qing suddenly asked, if there was really no way, no one would be willing to apply for assistance, otherwise they would become assistants, and the merits they got would be reduced by half.

But compared to the failure of the mission, it is not unacceptable to leave in disgrace.

"I don't know which team will come this time, if the guys from the first team ......"

Speaking of the first team, Zhang Qing's face turned black all of a sudden, obviously having a bad experience.

"Don't worry, it's not the first team that's coming this time, and it's not even the people of the seventeenth department. Xu Ye explained lightly, but Zhang Qing didn't see it, his captain's body trembled slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Isn't it from our 17th Department? Who is that? It won't be our task to invite people from outside, right? Has our deputy minister drunk too much?" Zhang Qing's eyes widened suddenly, he had never heard of the precedent of the 17th Department inviting people from the outside before, and they were basically co-ordinated between various squads, especially the top squads, which occasionally played the role of firefighters.

"This matter has nothing to do with the deputy minister, it is the person personally invited by the minister. Xu Ye said.

"Minister?" Zhang Qing was stunned, his eyes widened, there is a minister and two deputy ministers in the seventeenth department, but the real minister belongs to the nominal name, and the mysterious existence of the dragon is that Zhang Qing has joined the seventeenth department for several years, and he has never seen it.

But the legend of the minister had been circulating among the ministry, and the only thing he knew for sure was that the minister was a great man.

And the person who can get the real person to come forward and invite him in person is definitely not a cultivator of the foundation realm, that is to say...... The one who comes will be a real person.

After having this terrible guess, Zhang Qing felt his throat dry and numb, and he didn't know whether he was excited or frightened.

After all, it is far beyond the foundation building realm, high up, a real person with a noble status, usually an existence that will not appear without major events, but now, a fierce beast actually alarmed a real person, which is really a bit beyond imagination.

Of course, fierce beasts are also divided into strong and weak, and the fierce beasts with general weaknesses are just awakening the bloodline of spirit beasts, and they are not even as good as ordinary foundation building realm cultivators, but as time goes by, these spirit beasts of awakening bloodlines will become stronger and stronger, and even to a certain extent, they are only slightly worse than real people, and they are definitely not something that a few foundation building realm cultivators can deal with.

Usually, this level of fierce beast will naturally be solved by the appearance of real people, of course, what can be compared to real people is no longer called a fierce beast, but a spirit beast, which can be regarded as distinguishing between the two.

And spirit beasts also have the difference between congenital and acquired, such as Pixiu, the legendary true dragon, phoenix, gluttony, unicorn and the like, that is, they belong to the congenital spirit beast, they can be comparable to real people in their childhood, and they are equivalent to true monarchs when they become adults, and they are extremely powerful.

As for the day after tomorrow, it is to have the bloodline of a spirit beast, and after awakening, it continues to cultivate, and finally transforms into a spirit beast, but this one, the potential is also limited, and it is basically equivalent to the peak of a real person, and few can reach the level of a true monarch.

The black tiger vertebrae given to him by the cave master of Yaoshan at the beginning were fierce beasts close to spirit beasts, so the medicinal effect was powerful.

And the wild boar king sent by Yu Xinzhen, although it is also a beast, but at most it is equivalent to a hundred years, and the quality alone may not be as good as the black tiger's vertebrae, but it is better than the quantity, so the value is still far more than the black tiger's vertebrae.

At the moment, the beast encountered by the tenth squad can only be regarded as ordinary, if it is on land, they may not be able to solve it, but in the water, the restriction is undoubtedly too great, but even so, there should be no real people, right? If this beast was really so powerful, their team would have been wiped out a long time ago, how could there have been a few encounters?

"Captain, it's not April Fool's Day. After a while, Zhang Qingcai said with difficulty.
