My Last Hunt

Chapter 279: Silver Class 20

Silver Class 20

What is his concerns and what he is planning?

The scalawags run backward. They were rushing climb the tree and then leave the island. One of them sneaked and the young hunter was still glaring them. There was no match. His appearance matched to that of hunter's family while they were scalawags. Nobody knows them and nobody wanted to know them. 'Who would wish to befriend with thieve other than thieves?' so they were running with the fear of police possibly. Qiao warned them that his senior was a police officer and the thieves chose to escape. It was as simple as this. 

His team members were not familiar with the concept of police and the thief so they might not understand what happened to them and why the stronger hunter left instead of the young hunter. It was not soothing for the eyes as well and Kaili could explain. Her eyes were not accepting what she witnessed. Kala sighed. He might not be able to digest it anyway. Initially he thought that perhaps team leader went there out of whim and now ready to bring trouble for them too. But the scenario changed and the scalawags ran away. From their expressions; it was clear that they were not dreaming for any future confrontation or grudge. 

Qiao shook his hand; he strongly felt that lot of dirt glued to his hand for slapping the unclean cheeks of the scalawags. He returned toward his team and gestured to move. They were going to explore this crater and then spend some time in practicing skills. Tomorrow they could search for the monster and then hunt. Hunting a same level monster takes equal amount of strength so they cannot hunt another unless it was urgent. For now there was no urgency. 

They removed aside the thick creepers and kept walking in search of favorable place for stay. No one asked about the conversation or why the team leader slapped them one by one. They were assuming their stay in the team and what they could expect from the team leader. It was clear that they cannot predict fairly. Qiao was walking silently. Half of the day was still here and he was thinking to rest somewhere. Breaking away the aura and then attacking; it takes considerable amount of power of a hunter. There was another toil which they went through by rolling from the steep. 

They thanked that the monster did not follow behind else they might have turned into mincemeat. The team which was hunting the rare monster broke in the middle of the hunt. They were having trouble in competing for the hunt. It was not because of the rare stone because the stone was the property of the Hightown already. They were disagreed on the methods of the team leader and this brought trouble for the team members. They were not collaborating perfectly because the guidance of the team leader was unrelated for the present condition. It brought dissatisfaction among the team. The team leader was also dissatisfied with the ways of the team members. They were arguing for simple task and it resulted the calculated time missing the right attack sense. No one was willing to accept the mistake. All were level six and not ready to admit the culpability of the wrong actions. The argument prolonged and the monster started taking advantage of their thoughtless behavior. Now it was figuring out how the team members can be taken down. They scattered around and the injured monster followed behind the team leader who was running with the stone. 

During the attack the stone fell. The stone was in the condition of merge and it was not placed in the inner body. At level five this race push the stone armor out of the inner body and bring on the top of head where an extra ear hung at the niche. It was pretty strange but the Calfa Rune act this way. The third ear keeps emitting the light of the stone. It was well placed for the hunters to grab it. This was the reason that the scalawags were here. They were here for robbing the stone and flee. 

The monster was bent on to catch the team leader solve the new found matter between them. The team leader saw the team members fleeing in different directions. He was stumped where to find shelter in this crises. He was running and saw someone leading his team at the right side. He planned to throw the stone toward the hunter in a way that the monster should not notice it. Later when the monster would lose the aura of the stone and miss the track; he could go back and demand his belonging. This plan hit his head and he moved with the flow of the body movement; it was much smooth and winding that the monster took it the type of attack. 

It hindered the advancement for a while to tackle meanwhile the team leader threw the stone right in the feet of the passerby. The distance was not short yet his estimate was precise. The stone reached the accurate position in the next instant. Qiao suddenly stopped so did the others. The stone fell in front of him. He immediately measured his surroundings. For sure there were roaring of the monster some time ago and now it was silent then where did this stone come from? He asked to himself. 

The stone was emitting red shine. Qiao picked the stone. It was in good condition. "This place and the weird things. Hunters are throwing their hard earned stones just the way?" he was sure that crises were on his way soon. He estimated from where the stone came and threw it toward the same direction. The team leader was pretending that he was ready for attack to distract the monster. The monster also got ready. It shook off the aura merely residing in his body. It was hard to tell that the monster has gone mad or it was wishful after losing the stone.
