My Last Hunt

Chapter 337: Level Battles 11

Level Battles 11

I don't Mind

Qiao was hiding as if a professional escaper. The trees were barren yet enormous and giant. He could take their support; despite intentionally letting others know; no one could guess where he currently was. He did not mind using this method. 

The evening was near and it was the second day that Son of Xura was chasing the hunter. He was not expecting to prolong this chase. Still, it was dragging. 

Now, this method of the hunter was testing his patience. 

Qiao increased his grip on the stone in his hand. He landed in front and commanded his stone for a surprise attack. 

Son of Xura stepped back, seeing someone suddenly fall from the giant barren tree. The bright light blinded him and he staggered. The stone fell upon the hunter like a sword on his bare chest. 

Qiao leaped backward and went away, seeing his comrades were getting close. They were stunned to see that the strongest leader got a direct hit to the chest. 

"That dog learned some new tricks. Be careful, he is hiding in the surroundings." Son of Xura warned them. His chest was stinging from the sudden attack. He did not want to appear even a little affected by it but Instead, he wanted to look like an aggressive and violent wolf, ready to devour its prey in front of him. 

He rushed towards where Qiao leaped back. The active stone was giving out a bright light which blinded the enemy's vision and prevented him from making the next attack. Qiao held his breath and sneaked towards his opponent's direction. 

No matter whatever the place or whoever he was hunting, be it human hunting or monster hunting, he was cautious to not get harmed by the opponent. As the scar fades away, it will leave a flaw on his perfectly sculpted body. 

From the words of the huntress; Qiao also got some warnings. He was sure to face the wicked hunter days and return to his real world. 

However, thinking about it; it would not look nice if his well-built body happened to be scarred all over. He cannot show off his muscles. Though it was not necessary for him, taking precautions did not bring any harm but he certainly did not want to scare off all the beautiful girls after seeing his bruised muscles, after all, he was planning to pursue the profession of a model when he goes back to his birth world. 

The furious Son of Xura has no future with his empty head and evil ways, he would die eventually, Qiao wondered while focusing the movements of his enemies in front of his eyes. 

His both hands along with his feet were also busy. Feet giving him support at the upper edges of the trees, his left hand was holding a weapon, and the right hand blocking the stone from seeping energy. 

Qiao slightly changed his location because the third opponent was coming in front and looking at the high ends of the trees, following the actions of the team leader. Pity that the opponent was about to see his present position. 

Qiao changed his stone to commanding level eight stone instead. Suddenly screaming light filled the sky and the attack directly pierced through the head of the third opponent. 

In the uprising chaos, Qiao leaped between the trees and relocated himself. The scream was evidence that the attack was about to strike. However, none of them could search until it killed one of them. Both the remaining men howled like some madmen and leaped towards the third one. 

Son of Xura was blindly attacking and reached the dead body of his fellow. It simply broke the courage of the second fellow. The third fellow was brutally killed and they were clueless about the location of the sharp enemy. 

"Are you going to kill him or not? What are you waiting around for? Do you want to get rid of both of us first?" The second fellow got extremely frightened to see the sudden death of his fellow. 

His words were enough to slap the Son of Xura. The complaint was on point. They knew that he has many powerful stones with him which he was saving for the time he had to face the elder who killed his family. 

"I did not know that he would use this method. Do not blame me when it was his ignorance that led him to his death." He furiously answered, seeing the changed expressions of his comrade. 

"He is hiding over our heads and you're talking about ignorance. It is your ignorance, about underestimating your enemy." The second fellow blamed him yet again. 

Qiao was listening to their conversation. He was more than ever sure that his enemy has some hidden cards which he could use anytime soon. 

"I am no more following your troublemaking orders and leaving the third Sepedra. You can search your desired stone or do whatever you want to do by yourself." The second fellow seemed tired of the team leader. They had been tagging along with him for a long time now. In all the previous years they were good friends to him. 

They patiently waited for him to change his outrageous behavior into being more courteous however it remained the same. One after the other; three others were also killed because of his stupidity. Now the fourth one was seeing his dead-end in front of him, crumbling the last bit of patience left in him. 

Anytime the enemy could attack and he would die helplessly yet his team leader was hugging the stones to his chest. 

"You are free to leave but make sure that the enemy is willing to let you do so?" Son of Xura crudely looked at him. He was as always being selfish and only following his plan, he was less worried about whether the fourth one would survive or not. 

The second fellow was afraid to look up. However, this proved his fears becoming true. Son of Xura was only using them for his benefits. 

Qiao did not immediately attack. Instead, he was observing the second opponent. For him, someone who could abandon everything for the sake of friendship or go out of his way to render help in all possible matters was worth much more. 

Wealth cannot force anyone to become a true comrade; here he was taking advantage of their sincerity. 

"If you think you can escape then you can try but I am sure the water Demon would be wandering in the third Sepedra in the evening." Son of Xura warned with a sinister smile on his face, knowing that he was afraid of the creature more than death. 

This conversation piqued the interest of the hunter. Qiao was now listening intently and at the mention of the water demon; he was ready to hear more. From the tone it seemed, there was some stronger water demon in the third Sepedra. 

"You are trying the same old method. I am already sick of it." The second man shook his head and looked at the old friend, dubiously. 

Son of Xura twitched at his response as his threat did not bring the desired result out of him. 

"Even if I died at the hands of the demon; I won't regret it but dying at the hands of a friend would bring humiliation upon me." He voiced with disappointment and left. 

Son of Xura was fuming at this. His stone activated and he wanted to attack his retreating friend however looking at the surroundings, he was sure that the sharp hunter was keeping his eyes on him.

Qiao shook his head. He cannot believe that the evil hunter did not attack because he cared for his fellow instead he was afraid of his presence. The world was filled with wonders where the blood thicke and the morals and values lost their importance instead greed take the lead. Greed drive the consciousness more profoundly rather than the true path. 

Now he was thinking to kill this evil hunter and chase behind the hunter who left. His attention was different against him. He wanted to know what path he would choose after getting backstabbed by the fellow. 

The Hunter was afraid of the water demon so after leaving he was walking with dead spirits. After walking long distance he heard the specific horrific roaring of the demon and hide. He thought to wait till morning and then leave third Sepedra silently. He had been following his fellow and his evil deeds however he no more wanted to follow the same path. 

Perhaps he was tired of it or he was moved by the actions of the affiliated hunter. The Hunter has much sober nature and more promising ways suited to a human and hunter. He decided this to follow on the premises if he remained alive and escaped from the third Sepedra alive which presently looked impossible however he was hopeful.
