My Last Hunt

Chapter 203: Journey (4)

Journey (4)

They were not worried that it would harm their levels; they could reimburse the damage during the journey by hunting monsters. Though they were mistaken in this aspect; Shiguan explained him the fault measure of the battles between hunters. The normal hunter thinks that no matter if he faced a brutal injury; he would be able to recuperate the damage by hunting however it was mere product of their ignorance. This was also the gravest mistake they mostly commit. Since Qiao favored Shiguan; he thought to return this favor by disclosing this information. The hunters could hunt and again renew the level up experience with some effort however the damage done once would hinder them when they wanted to fulfill the five requirements for the Hunter King Test. 

These both hunters were also ignorant that they could recuperate if they face any damage; first they were sure that an inexperienced young man would not be able to harm then seriously. Qiao was thinking something else and looking around. Every after some distance he could see the smoke rising because it was still drizzling. He could easily calculate the distance and how he could close in when the time comes. For this he has to use the second skill of observation at the advanced point without any distraction. 

"Haha; I can see you are looking for a path to escape but be sure I won't let you escape." The opportunist laughed. From the actions of the young hunter; he observed that perhaps he was getting ready for escape from his hands. He gestured his fellow to not let him escape without harming his level. "Well; I like ambitious people but not the opportunist." Qiao calmly spoke and moved a bit to get in action. He has certain level of hatred against opportunists in the advanced world so did here in this world. 

He can let go anyone but the opportunist would face his anger. The hunter attacked him straight. He stepped back; used his shapeless weapon to move the pointed sword away from his chest and kicked him with his leg seems like he was not interested to get his weapon in action. "Are you afraid of us now?" the hunter was pleased to see that this young hunter already seemed defeated. Qiao hurriedly moved left to avoid the second attack of the other hunter. Both were coming to him one by one. 

The closest smoke rising was at twenty feet distance. Qiao glanced at both hunters as to who would follow him first if he kept stepping back. The first one who had a hot talk would definitely follow him; though both were equally putting effort but it was about the first come first serve and a critical observation was needed. In case his observation failed; they might be able to understand his plan for getting rid them. He needed to be cautious. Another sword fell on him and rolled on the ground toward the planned position. "What are you doing; what king of hunter coward the way you are acting?" the hunter mocked his situation. 

Qiao liked one of the actor and his movies. What he liked most about him that his dialogues were always practical; he once said that 'make believe your enemy about his success till the second last moment of the conflict and then suddenly show him what you are capable of and see how the enemy is going to face the worst in the end.' It was called surprise performance in the digital betting however only the player knows the truth from the very beginning. 

So Qiao would follow the words of his favorite actor; here in this world practically. Slowly both hunters started to believe that he cannot defeat them and he has no such talent. Qiao stood up and kicked at the butt of the second hunter toward the direction when he was in a fit of ignorance. He was acting normal and wanted them to not get suspicious about him. Then he slowly leapt with his sword as if ready to attack at the neck of the hunter but because he was so slow; the other hunter escaped his sword and laughed. 

"I have seen many pampered hunters and you are among them; young man for a real battle you should have some brutal experiences." The hunter snickered. Now they were sure that with this amount of reaction from the young hunter; they would be able to damage his level as well as loot him of his spoils. The Hightown was a place of competition and expensive if anyone wanted to buy weapons of higher level. Those weapons were prepared by the stronger hunters so they would definitely cost expensive. Looting a young spoiled hunter would not cost them any harm instead they would be collecting some spoils. 

There was no more distance left and he was right next five feet from the smoking ground. The first hunter was near him for the attack; Qiao was waiting for the critical moment pretending his diligence. The hunter leapt with all the might to leave a big injury in this attack. Qiao tapped his feet on the ground moved back not touching the ground where the smoke was rising. The hunter was attacking with normal method; he saw the young hunter moving backward thus he ran to increase his pace so that the attack should reach the target. 

The ground crumbled and the hunter was taken inside. He was completely unaware that he would slip through the fleapit in a moment of ignorance. Inside the fleapit; a monster opened its eyes lazily and captured the hunter firmly breaking all his ribs. A loud scream was heard from the fleapit then Qiao landed on the other side of the dangerous fleapit. Usually monsters come out of the ground when they faced such intruder but this lazy one seemed to get over the hunter and be contented. Qiao was expecting that perhaps the ground would shook and the monster would appear hence he created a safe distance. The second hunter saw this and stood stunned. He was standing near the fleapit expecting his fellow to come out but he did not. The hunter was under the grip of the monster and his broken ribs added in his misery. He seemed like a boneless sack and from the normal calculations a boneless sack cannot resist much less to walk or run. Qiao was standing expressionless as if the incident was unexpected. Slowly he learned the acting skills and probably he could debut in the entertainment industry after returning back to the advanced world. 

The hunter looked at him as if looking at the worst enemy and wanted to rip apart him in the next instant. He was clouded with mix of hatred and anger. He could killing using higher weapon however it would not be good for his own reputation in the future. Qiao has to follow his plans until he reached level six; after level six he could directly kill his enemies. Only he would have to be careful to not get fatal injury in return to avoid the hindrances in becoming strongest. It all depends on his available amount of time and his perseverance. 

And the time limit was too short to neglect. Still he can spare some time to get rid the scums at his will. Lowa was agape when the hunter fell in the fleapit. She was sneaking behind the rock so do Wuza. Both could not understand whether it was intentional or accidental. Only Qiao could explain however they would never ask about it no matter if they went dead with curiosity. They were taking brother hunter as someone generous now they could witness that the generosity was not for everyone and all time. 

The team of the huntresses was not in good condition; they were more than ever angry and furious. And the blame goes to the foolish girl. She brought this trouble for them and escaped. "I will have to delay my journey just to search them else my heart would not settle." The leading huntress roared. The injury on her face was bleeding. A huntress faced the fatal injury and others suffered several wounds. The monster finally fell. It was counting the last breaths. They were looking at the monster with utmost exhaustion; thankfully the monster gave in else it was end of their efforts. 

"I also don't care the journey anymore; let's find the girl and kill her first." The huntress who received the fatal wound seemed stumped and harmed by a mere fly. She was unable to digest her present situation which was worst to the point that she hated herself. 

She was willing to bet whatsoever to search the girl and take the revenge for her lose. The monster fell dead and they chose a place to sit and rest a little. They used their healing stones to stop the blood lose in time. It was drizzling as usual.
