My Last Hunt

Chapter 201: Journey (2)

Journey (2)

If it had been a normal then it would have been a go through but it was not some simple. Qiao was clear that there will be few people also traveling toward the Hightown from those lower level guilds. He offended one or two Guild's hunters and there were few created grudge against him during his lower level up. Approximately three to five hunters were those who were also traveling this year and they happened to offend Qiao back then. Qiao was usually very considerate about various aspects of hunting and how to live among other teams however there were few hunters who seriously offended him. 

He resolved that if ever they crossed path and just happened to come face to face then he would not show any mercy. Two of the teams of previous guild were added in this resolution of grudge. Though the list was not that big still there were few eventually traveling this year. The first and foremost comes at the top of list was the two snatchers. They were the two hunters who saw him wounded with the stones; instead of helping him and minding their own business they chose to snatch stones from his hand threw him on the ground mocking. 

They were level two peak back then and Qiao was zero level; a newbie who was thrown in this world. 'Every player playing a zombie related game thinks that if chaos fell in the world and the people suddenly started to become zombies would not harm them; they will be able to survive just like they level up in the digital and virtual gaming' but it was not a reality. The real experiences can influence the sanity first consequently weakening the power of decision making or digesting what was going on. The real human experiences differ from Hollywood heroes doing wonders out of the blue. 

So do Qiao happened to wish several times swayed by the novels he read that if he some way transmigrate in another world; he would be as powerful and brutal against his enemies as the MC in the novel however when the circumstances caught him in; he cannot heal a simple injury on his own much less to challenge the exaggeratedly powerful buddies. 'After much deliberation he decided to act rational when making any choice because being wise can useful not being reckless foolish.' It really helped him and now he was level five; at a level where he could at least scold back his enemies. 

He still would not decide to look for those offended him back then however if they were foolish enough to bother him then he cannot take the responsibility of their damage in return. There were those whom he intentionally cannot harm in return for the reason that they were only looking for trouble. Engaging in any kind of personal battles would only slower down his advancement; taking his precious time and energy. Half of them might die with the awe when he became powerful enough to crush them so the conclusion points that when without wielding his weapon he could defeat then there was no need to show off. 

He was struggling for the real show of his power in front of the wicked hunter to tell him his puny place and kill him mercilessly. His efforts worth it until now; within two and half month he reached the level five half which proved how eagerly he wanted to face the wicked hunter soon. Those who happened to see him as zero back then; they would definitely get thunder jerk twitching to no end to see him level five. 

The time left to become strongest Hunter King was only three and a half month. Qiao was tracking the time with every passing day; he knew that the wicked hunter was trying best to waste this time and kill him before he could learn how to defend against stronger enemies. He decided to buy grade two skill to greatly improve his hunting and battling ability. He has enough of spoils with him; also he would hunt more often to get the experience the present token was still helpful and the hidden token seemed calculating each and every hunt. 

As long as it was not part of any trap; Qiao would not throw it. The hidden token was more effective than the guild provided token mainly because of the difference in the tier of making the token. It was actually part of the mystery box. The mystery box exploded and brought the present circumstance for the wicked hunter and the curse of death. It was designed by the Hunter Monarch in case anyone wanted to get hold on the secrets wrapped in the mystery box. It was to test the perseverance of the victim. 

The trio was moving cautiously. All the thoughts going in his head warned him take least days for this journey. If the normal hunters take twelve days for reaching the Hightown then he could only allow himself to use up four days maximum from the deadline of three and half month. "Since I have told what you both needed to take caution for the journey so we are going to increase our pace; it would save our time." Qiao spoke stern. He cannot let his pace slower down for the fact that two of them were traveling with him. 

For Wuza walking faster was not problem as for the huntress she had to put effort if she wanted to follow side by side with them. Qiao was taking big leaps to close the distance and the huntress was following his footsteps. Wuza was worriless but because brother hunter wanted to remain low-key; he was controlling his pace. The ground emitting the smoke and the air bringing the drizzling down created a smooth rhythm for them though the drizzling was soaking their fleeces but they ignored. With every other leap they cautiously touched the ground to not disturb any monster. 

Lowa soon lost her focus for the reason that her attention diverted toward the young hunter; he seemed so much invested in his advancement or the journey that he cannot bother at her staring him. Her lost focus caused her to tap on the ground where the fleapit was present. It crumbled immediately causing her to fell down with a loud scream. Qiao and Wuza stopped hurriedly to take a look what happened to her. Since Qiao was aware how she lost focus he could not point out openly at her. He did not want to insult her or make her embarrass. 

Before they could reach for her help; a giant monster woke up from his slumber because of her scream and sudden assault. It was taken as assault. When it came out of the ground; Lowa was swaying on its back. Nine feet giant monster roared making the girl scream her lungs out. It shook its body and the girl was thrown at some distance; from there a temporary team of huntresses was walking; Lowa fell on them when they were stunned to hear the scream and standing in a daze. They were thinking that perhaps a huntress ended up in the hands of bad hunter. They fell on the ground. Lowa was on top of them. 

The huntress who was leading this team got furious to see the foolish girl. How come this level four girl dared to venture in this Vaga Hillocks. It was equal seeking death intentionally and embarrassing other huntress with the impression that the females were not suitable for monster hunter. The leading huntress did not like such stupid girls. The monster could see in which direction the offender was thrown so it followed to reach the huntress to revenge for breaking the slumber grade up. 

"Stand up you foolish girl." The huntress yelled at Lowa. She was fuming with anger. Lowa was feeling dizzy but stood up to see that the huntress was fuming. "It was not intentional; I was thrown by the monster, hope you ignore this." Lowa guiltily spoke. It was her mistake and she had to admit it. "You should not be in this dangerous place; don't you know?" the huntress pointed her sword at her neck. Killing a foolish girl would not bring any chaos for the world of hunting instead it would save from an imprudent girl who does not know her limits. 

The temporary members of this team were also unhappy at the girl. They reached all level five and only then decided to travel toward the Hightown while this girl was level four and stumbling in this dangerous place bringing embarrassment for the other huntresses. "Kill her if she is dreaming to travel with low levels." A huntress aggressively shouted. "Wah! what?" Lowa shuddered to hear this. Currently she was surrounded with these four level five huntresses. The sword shook and they heard the roaring of the monster reaching near them. 'Come you monster and ruin their day' Lowa screamed in her head.
