My Last Hunt

Chapter 332: Level Battles 6

Level Battles 6

Qiao marked his territory and waited for the day to open. There were few bald trees. It was clear that the monsters used this path for general walk way. It means that Qiao intentionally wanted to bother the monsters; well it was expected. How come he stay away when he was energetic and eager for the level seven battles. This path was separated with the two small streams. The water monsters usually came out of the deep stream and walk around in the vicinity. They also stalk lower level monsters for the daily diet. In fair terms the water creatures were tired of the same taste of the stream creatures. 

For tasting new meat they wander in the forest and then return back in the stream. At level seven they could walk on the ground keeping their damp bodies intact from the dryness of the weather. In the third Sepedra such monsters were in abundance. Water surface shook and the monster appeared it was early morning and the monster was going to have regular meal. Qiao was attracted by this. He was keeping his eyes fixed on the other path not knowing that the stream monster can also show up. He was slightly fazed by the look. 

The monster or the water creature cleared water from the eye-shells with the flipper which looked more like hand. Perhaps the creature was well versed with the flipper movement. Water from the stream slowly rose up and circled around the creature. It was a sight to see. Qiao was looking at it with complete attention. If said that he was astounded then yes he was utterly dazed and captured by the sight. His memory flooded in his head and he thought about the hidden water dragon. 'What possible feats he must have gained with the time' Qiao thought in his head. 

The creature walked out of the stream water without batting an eye on the hunter standing near the path. In the eyes of the creature because he was alone that means he was not here for hunt. The water kept circling around the body of the creature. Light blue body of the creature has more than normal flippers which was indication that it must be one of the stronger creatures of the water. The dryness in the surrounding was a perfect contrast with the appearance and the ways of the creature. 

Apparently it was the water circling around however the stone of nature was active and it make it possible for the creature to leave the water. It was evident that the creature was level seven and very proud of the present achievement. Seven feet height and the nine flippers were adding to the strength level. Qiao walked forward and reached in front; he was waiting that the distance from the stream should increase. Water type creatures were powerful in the water or around the water. Thinking this he let the creature walk proudly for some distance. He was not overly ignoring the fact that the water creature could show bit extraordinary feats during battle. 

Surely being level seven and water type; it must bear certain intellect too. The creature noticed that the hunter was not moving away from the path. "Leave aside little human." Opposite of the viable appearance of the creature; its tone was rough and dry. Qiao was slightly shocked because with the present strength; he was six feet and his body was well-built. Still the creature addressed him 'little human' "I am here to hunt you." Qiao shook his shoulders not much influenced by the carefree attitude of the creature. 

He was straightforward and sometimes his blunt words leave strong impact on the listener. The creature stopped for a while. The water circling also jammed around as if the gif stopped moving with the lack of internet access. "What did you say?" from the tone it was clear that the creature did not believe the words. "I already blurt it." Qiao tapped his feet on the ground and the dried leave scattered floating in the air in lieu of four feet and then returning back on the ground. It was direct battle sign. The creature twitched the small lips. 

No one can imagine that the small lips can open like a hell hole dragging the hunt inside. "Little human perhaps you are very eager to die." With said this; the water circling around started shining. The active stone of nature came on the surface. Qiao was satisfied to see this. He activated his stone. Few taps of water drops moved separating from the creature and traveled toward Qiao with utmost pace. Qiao held his weapon in the left hand; he shook aside the idea for attack because the water taps carried the attack force. He was not clear what way it would induce damage. 

It was first ever that he was facing a water type level seven creature. Qiao could imagine the strength of level seven however a water creature differed. It would not be easy feat. He reminded himself that he was not in a team; here he would solely protect and attack. The weapon moved in a fit of haste and the shining water taps clashed with the tips of the weapon. The taps reverted back and fell on the ground like normal water drops. The creature nodded. Reaction speed of the hunter was better than level seven other hunters. 

The tips of the weapon lit up seeing the intensity behind the attack. Qiao got some idea how this creature would deal with him. Now it was his headache what way he chose for dealing in return. Solo leveling might take more of his time. Thinking this he sighed. He cannot let this happen. Even if he hunted one monster a day then still he had chance in reaching the peak of level seven within ten days if things remained as tranquil as for now. Both were standing in front of each other knowing that none would back down at this point. 

The creature was too proud to leave it like this anymore. One of the flippers shook and few more taps of the water separated from the creature. It was so that the creature cannot waste off the complete source of the water. The stone of nature can work with the help of the flipper. Just that the creature wanted to reserve the water source. Its body was water type and no matter its level seven strength; the body still needed least dampness. The creature cannot leave without it for longer time. 

Using water taps for the attack could make it more vigil and agile against the enemy. Qiao was eager to know how he could attack and defense at the same time. The enemy cannot volunteer for letting him attack. His active stone was shining bright in the air; finally Qiao gestured for the attack and the bright energy traveled toward the monster. The water circling around jammed again and stopped the attack. Qiao could see that the stone was constantly attacking yet unable to pierce through. This helped Qiao understand that the water was also the defense of the monster. He could think a smart plan after some deliberation. 

The stream was at the back of the creature and if it wanted to escape in time of danger it could. First of all he thought to create more distance. The distance would shut the escape routes of the creature. Qiao was literally blinking with the thoughts running in his head. 'The creature was using water taps in the attacks if then went on and the water source empty out?' Qiao deliberated over the possibility. He stepped back. The creature saw the expressions on the face of the hunter after the attack did not work as it was supposed to do. 

"Little human you have lost the chance already." The creature voiced proud. Qiao nodded. It was challenging higher level hunting. He was sure that after consecutive hunting he will be able to mater in it just like the weapons and stuff. He cannot imagine nearing this creature and attack with the weapon. The creature can simply use the water source against his body resistance. There were several ways tackling such creature which Qiao would learn with the time. The first experience with this creature was not bad until now. They were going along smoothly. 

He again stepped back and attacked. The creature stepped ahead and attacked as well. They seemed chasing each other. The water taps were coming for attack as if the attacker has full confidence of wining it. The water source reduced to half and the present distance was away from the stream. Qiao stopped at this point. His first plan worked and they were no more near the stream. The water creature was dulled with this constant chase. Despite all the attacks; it seemed that the hunter was well versed how to keep the battle engaged for longer time. It was not good sign.
