Chapter 595: Black River City, Mountain Hunter

At noon, Su Hao successfully entered the urban area of ​​Heihe City.

Because this trip had a clear goal, Su Hao did not wander around anywhere else. He opened the navigation and entered the words "Hunter Association". The navigation quickly planned a route to the Hunter Association for him.

Don't get me wrong, this Hunter's Association is not the Hunter's Association in the anime.

This association is a non-governmental organization formed by a group of people who love outdoor adventures in the Greater Khingan Range and search for rare resources.

Miao Yin happened to know the boss of the association, so he introduced him to Su Hao.

The Hunters Association is a group of people active in the mountains, and the headquarters of the Hunters Association is located not far from the entrance to the Greater Khingan Range, making it convenient for them to enter the mountains for adventure at any time.

........

Half an hour later, Su Hao arrived at the headquarters of the Hunter Association under the guidance of the navigation, a detached three-story family house.

From the outside, it didn't look like an association at all. Su Hao wondered if the navigation had led him astray again. But when he saw the words "Hunter Association" written on a small sign next to the gate, he pressed the doorbell without hesitation.

ding dong~

The doorbell rang automatically three times, and half a minute later, a voice came from the door.

"Come on~"

A soft female voice answered.

Then there was the sound of the door lock turning, the door opened with a click, and the person who responded poked his head out.

The visitor had a braided hair and wore a pair of black-framed glasses on her straight nose. Her facial features were soft overall. She was wearing a pink women's home dress and did not look aggressive.

The man stuck his head out, opened the door, looked at Su Hao suspiciously and warily, and asked, "Who are you looking for? We don't need to pay gas bills here, and we don't apply for group swimming and fitness cards."

Su Hao: "......"

Su Hao's eyes twitched as he was speechless. Was he being treated as a salesman?

Su Hao said helplessly: "I was introduced to visit Mr. Ivan. I'm not a salesman or a gas company employee."

"Ah!" The woman covered her mouth and exclaimed, then laughed a few times, and immediately opened the door completely. She turned sideways and said, "It turns out to be the guest Mr. Ivan mentioned. My name is Ye Jie, and I'm President Ivan's secretary. I'm so sorry for what happened just now. Come up with me!"

Su Hao nodded and walked into the house.

Ye Jie curled her toes together and led the way with an awkward expression.

As if to ease the embarrassment, Ye Jie began to introduce the surrounding environment to Su Hao.

"The first floor is used as a communication hall, where mountain hunters can gather to discuss harvests and goals."

"The second floor is a more private trading room, which supports barter and occasionally holds an auction."

"The third floor is the office of the association's officers, and Mr. Ivan's president's office is also located here."

With that said, Ye Jie led Su Hao to a door, knocked three times, and after the voice of "Please come in" came from inside, she opened the door and entered.

The decoration of the office basically only had a few styles. There was nothing worth paying special attention to. Only the wall on the left full of photos made Su Hao a little interested.

Ye Jie lowered her eyes and said, "Mr. Ivan, a guest has arrived."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." The chair with its back to the two of them slowly turned around, and an old man with pale hair, wrinkled skin and age spots sat on it. He observed Su Hao with slightly cloudy eyes, "You must be the person that Miao Xiaozi introduced. Hello, I am Ivan, the president of this Hunter Association."

Su Hao blinked and nodded, "Hello, sir. I was introduced by Senior Miao. My name is Su Hao."

After hearing the name, Ivan raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Hao more carefully.

"Ah! Are you that..." Before Ivan could say anything, Ye Jie exclaimed. Sensing the gazes from the two of them, she silently stepped back and clasped her toes on the ground.

"Hahaha, I thought you looked familiar, and I thought you were an old man. My memory has become confused as I get older, but I didn't expect that Mr. Miao actually introduced a celebrity here!"

"In the past few months, your momentum has been watched closely by even someone like me at the border of the alliance!"

kid?

Su Hao remembered that this was the second time that Mr. Ivan called Senior Miao "boy". What was the relationship between them?

While thinking in his heart, Su Hao said with a calm expression, neither humble nor arrogant: "Sir, you are overly complimentary."

"How can it be an exaggeration? Well, let's not engage in such empty talk." Ivan tapped the table with his fingers, a trace of seriousness appeared on his old face, and said, "Miao boy said that you want to enter the Greater Khingan Range?"

Su Hao nodded and affirmed: "Yes, I want to explore the Daxingan Mountains. Because the terrain of the Daxingan Mountains is complicated, I found you, sir, under the introduction of Senior Miao."

Ivan said: "In short, we need a map of the Greater Khingan Mountains, right?"

"Yes."

Ivan pondered for a moment and said, "It's no problem to provide you with a map. This map was drawn by the Hunter Association after years of exploration of the Greater Khingan Range. Although it is not 100% accurate, it can help you avoid many dangers."

"But... I know you are a powerful trainer. For your safety, there are some things you need to pay attention to. I'll tell you in advance."

"The first is the danger level of the Greater Khingan Mountains. There are many king-level overlords entrenched in the wild here. Even in the deepest part of the Greater Khingan Mountains, there are rumors of champion-level wild Pokémon. You must be careful in your actions and don't make it public."

Su Hao nodded slightly: "This is nature. The environment in the wild is unpredictable. Too much publicity will often end up with no bones left."

"You are so insightful, that's great." Ivan was very satisfied with Su Hao's attitude. He did not lose himself after being praised, and became arrogant and unwilling to listen to other people's opinions. This is a rare quality. "Then, there is one more thing."

"Have you met anyone else besides me and Ye Jie since you entered the Hunter Association?"

Su Hao thought for a while and quickly responded: "No, have they all gone exploring in the Greater Khingan Mountains?"

Ivan shook his head: "No, no one from our association has entered the Greater Khingan Range in the past few days. Everyone is resting in their respective homes."

Su Hao's expression froze. At this time, Ye Jie put two cups of hot tea on the table and said, "Please use tea."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ivan took the cup with a smile, took a sip of the hot tea, and said slowly: "As for the reason, it's very simple. You know that this is a paradise for ice Pokémon and trainers, right?"

"The temperature remains below zero all year round, and heavy snow often falls in the mountains. Therefore, Heihe City is rich in ice-type trainers."

"And now, Guanglan Heavenly King, who ranks first in the Master Ball level in the Shenzhou Alliance's ranking competition and has the title of the absolute strongest under the Four Heavenly Kings, is from Heihe City."

Su Hao was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

Ivan pondered for a moment and said, "Recently, King Guanglan used his power to convey a notice to most organizations, including our Hunter Association."

“No one is allowed to approach the Odesko Snow Mountain Range deep in the Greater Khingan Range, otherwise, she will use all her strength to target that person!”
