My Last Hunt

Chapter 212: Journey (13)

Journey (13)

Lost Ventures are after us

"If the race is different thus it can bring trouble for us. Do you both wanted to halt the journey and remain hidden until the next day?" Qiao thought to ask their opinion. Collaborating for reaching was different than insisting them to travel while the danger was lurking around. "I don't see if this newer threat can be any bigger than the previous one." Wuza shook his shoulders turning around. "Lowa what is your opinion?" Qiao asked the girl. Lowa thought for a while. Her mother has rare information about this Continent and the closely related islands; it would be blunt if she claimed that she has any good vibes against this night journey. 

'Almost all the hunters of lower level should not cross their boundaries and travel in the night' this was the sole warning which her association gave every one. "It is not about the feasibility of the travel instead a hunter should not call upon the dangers bigger than potentials." Her tone and attitude changed whenever she had something important to recall from the information or the pieces of advice given by her mother. Qiao twitched his brows; this tone and attitude of her was better in his prospects rather than the timid one. 

Wuza was slightly angry at the audacity of the girl yet he kept the cool composure for the reason that everything brother hunter follows with his own choice. Though they were responsible for their personal guard still brother hunter took care and there must be a strong reason behind such careful yet bothersome overwork. Every human or hunter was liable for his own safety and not the otherwise. 

This was the reason that Qiao asked their opinion. He did not want to get them in the trouble. Qiao moved a bit and observed which direction they could find a place for hiding. The drizzling stopped right after the evening fell now the ground was no more emitting smoke. It was another problem; in the dark they cannot spot the hell holes where the monsters were hibernating. Wuza cannot become their eyes he can only guide; to solve this Qiao brought out his illumination stone. The most critical was to choice the direction that the newer race could not guess and reach them. He walked opposite direction took some winding path deliberately circling here and there to make sure that the hill side was secure for stay. 

Lowa was happy that finally they were going to sit and rest properly. She was tired however did not complain for the fear to offend the hunter. "We can report what you spotted and how the race looked like; it would help the Hightown in registering this race and taking precautionary steps if needed." She spoke firm. "For this we have to reach the Hightown alive." Wuza interrupted her. Though he was learning from brother hunter but cannot bear the over-talk of this self-righteous girl with smug expressions. Lowa remained unbothered thinking it was some time that they did not speak toxic to each other so this blood hunter must be desperately looking for a reason to vent out the venom. 

"We don't have to wait for the Hightown; there must be a Nest near or far, we need to approach the elders and report." Lowa spoke concerned though she did not want to speak about it but the black snakes of worry were hovering over her courage. Instead her idea to hide and wait seemed shady now. This all was going in her head; she was unable to decide it this way or that way. It was just beginning of the night. 

Qiao opened his eyes after hearing this. A nest was supposed home of small birds unless the term implied something different. "The Nest is where a broken team of hunters or travelers could report unexpected races as well as the incidents." Lowa cleared what was the thing called Nest. Wuza got shocked likewise attentive. He looked toward the brother hunter if he was willing to venture and find the Nest? "If we survived then surely I will report however I might not be willing and search the Nest forsaking my journey." Qiao did not give it a second thought and voiced his intention. 

Lowa nodded and took a seat against the rock closing her eyes. It had been fewer days when she literally started her hunting under the team guidance. Her mother already helped her in reaching level three back then and guided whatever she herself learned. However remembering her mother made her think that perhaps a century was gone she last met her mother. After getting far and feeling the loneliness; Lowa felt that the most dearing person of her life was her mother which she never realized before. 

Qiao was counting the days and following how many days were left for the final battle. For him every day and the night meant passing faster than the expected pace; he wanted to hold it until getting the highest aim. However he has no control over the time or the unfolding secrets and paths of this world. He has to go through and chose what was better to reduce the time consumption. Qiao was giving enough attention to his body strength for the time being practicing the skills along. He has some understanding that he might be much busy in the Hightown to think about any secondary concern. 

He had been anticipating getting the last grade stone for the skill to accomplish the feat. It would cover up if there was any weakness or flaw in the skills. The high level hunting would add wonders in his skills as well as the overall strength most definitely. It was lot better that this world does not have complicated level ups or the skills; instead it has only hidden restrictions which should not be ignored during level up. Thinking all this he stood up for practice as well as keeping a careful lookout in the surrounding.
