My Last Hunt

Chapter 191: Quest For Three Stones (42)

Quest For Three Stones (42)

Bagel;

Luck or bad luck can only be decided when the right monster would fall in their hands. If they were lucky enough then probably second or third monster might turn out the desired one otherwise they don't fear harnessing the bunch of monsters for the sake of search. As long as they were consistent; the bagel stone cannot distance from them. This part of the forest and the continent has number of opportunities for anyone looking for specific stone. Mix breeds of monsters were found in this part of the continent and this place did not belong to the vicinity of the Middletown or the Azzura continent. 

The barrier was residing at the edge of the Orey Continent. As the name suggested; every part of it present a new world and occupied area. Only few places were approved for the level five or lower hunters by the hunter association working here. It was the nearest continent along with the premises of Azzura continent and the other side of place adjoins with the Snow Island. Apparently the wicked hunter threw him far away from the Snow Island where Qiao was hunting previously. And the team's senior who witnessed him as the tough hunter was unable to understand what exactly happened and where was the young hunter. 

He later got busy after sending someone to report to the organizers. Now at the Orey continent; the association which was looking after the matters of the hunters received a report from two teams of hunters about a strange barrier and the people inside. The elders of the association were sitting on the altars when they received the report. The team which was seriously injured went back to tell what was happening in the Orey continent under the nose of the hunter association. 

"Someone must have to check about the report." The elder sitting on the altar munched on a meat piece and mumbled. He was not interested at first about this matter but when the second team came to tell about the same thing then he called two other elders to talk about the matter thinking that perhaps the teams working under them might have come to face the same problem. "They say it a barrier while there is zero chance for a barrier to appear unless a level seven peak or eight hunter happened to experiment his hunt." The second elder who seemed to forget about wearing the decent clothes or he liked to walk around nude spoke. 

Orey continent was known for its three elders and their no decent habits which clearly looked vulgar sometimes. This was the second infamous characteristic of this continent. The first one was the wild eye beasts or the wild monsters; the second comes the elders. There was only a rough and shard clothe around his waist. It was not that the elder has no money to buy better clothing. After two of monsters ripped his fleece in a battle; he swore to never waste spoils on buying the fleeces. 

If all the hunters from the seven continents follow the same weird pledges then the whole world would be banned for female hunters to show up on the prospect. There were several thousand hunters who were buying fleeces to look better and normal unlike this elder. There was another reason behind this act of pledge. The elder was one from the blood hunter's race. He was the only blood hunter collaborating with the hunter association and representing his race. According to his wild logic; the blood hunters were hindered by the long fleece when they wanted to run against the wind. 

The other blood hunters were not part of hunting association so they cannot tell what exactly hinder then in real hunting. The others nodded at his remark. "Before this matter is known to everyone; we have to make sure that it is not serious problem for the lower level hunters or else we have to answer the Hightown about our negligence." The elder finished the piece of meat and nodded shaking the three morsels from his moustache. He was responsible and entrusted the job to send important reports to the Hightown and an urgent report when it was needed. Though the Hightown was sending missions in the various parts of the Orey continent; all those teams were level seven still it was necessary to keep check. 

"Is that some of the blood hunters are again wreaking chaos for the normal hunters?" the third elder who was silent until now added in the discussion. He crudely looked toward the second elder who was a blood hunter by race and the third elder does not like the blood hunters at all. It was the suggestion of the Hightown hence the blood hunter was added in the association else it was nigh impossible for him to get the responsibility. 

"For this; I have to go and check first." The blood hunter stood up and seriously spoke. There had been few instances where the blood hunters were found guilty as well as causing trouble for normal hunters. But it was long ago and rare chances still how the third elder sneaked toward him made him feel embarrass for his race. He was seven feet of height and stout. Being at the primary level four; he was stronger than the other two elders yet remain under pressure to not commit any mistake. 

He knew the restrictions proposed for the blood hunters and strictly follow them. After reaching at level four; the blood veins of his body popped like a net shaping his outer appearance much brutal. Many of the monsters would choose to back down just to see such horrible looking hunter. It was a truth. He jumped down from the altar and raced with the wind to reach the pointed location. His bigger red eyes were scanning the whole area to spot any unusual activity in the vicinity while the lower level monsters immediately hide to sense the passage way of the blood hunter. 

Wuza harnessed a monster; actually he did not harness it instead the monster chased him and ended up in the barrier. There were few monsters who as soon as spot a blood hunter; they would kill it after taking a look whether they could easily kill or not and this blood hunter happened to low-key for this monster. "Brother Qiao; get ready." Inside the barrier the air shook and the meantime Wuza appeared huffing and running madly. The monster immediately stopped when its eyes met the surrounding. "What is this thing?" 

Qiao asked twitching his brows. The monster was not some huge or scary. The body surface was plain and almost transparent similar to the infant of a lizard; small feet were fast paced. It was throwing its tongue out to grab Wuza. "This thing got the attention when I was looking for a right target." Wuza explained. He got some breath after the weird monster halted its pace. "It is still a monster; right?" Qiao voiced aloud to get the attention of the huntress. "What do you take it as?" Lowa rolled her eyes. Sometimes the simplest questions made her curious that perhaps he was only asking to get her attention. 

The monster ran back with the same pace and Qiao did not follow thinking that it was impossible for him to find the desire stone from hunting this monster. He has a gesture about the third stone. The third stone has the characteristic of absorbing so he might definitely sense it when it was around. "It is leaving?" Wuza asked baffled. "We are not hunting it." Qiao waved his hand. Qiao remembered about the time when Lowa was telling him about the stones; it was then she hinted about the monster who bear it. 

"Then I am leaving again." Wuza nodded and left in hurry. The monster was waiting outside and as soon as he appeared from the barrier; the monster again started following. "Go away; I am not your imprint." The blood hunters call their mate an Imprint and when Wuza was puzzled as to why this monster was following him; he mocked saying this. The monster stopped and shook away; hate was visible on the face when it left. "What? I am not that bad for you to hate me." Wuza shouted. He irritated with this reaction of the monster. 

Soon he found the monster and harnessed inside the barrier. Qiao got busy to hunt it and not let it wander. "Wuza; close the paths for the monster." When monster spotted who actually want to hunt; it tipped all its focus on Qiao. Wuza was only running to follow the orders and monster was unsure earlier if this hunter did not want to hunt then why he bothered to come in his way? So it turned out that he was working for another hunter. The red glow sparkled on its head to see Qiao wielding his sword.
