Chapter 467: Chapter 311: A Gathering of Heroes!_2
“Just hold on for a moment, wait for an opportunity, then pry open her mouth…” Chen Qi clapped his hands and said,
“Fen, I’m planning to go to Scorched Earth Town to buy some food and household items. Is there anything you would like me to bring, like sweets?”
Fen lightly touched her chin with her hand, her eyes cold, seemingly indifferent as she said,
“No need, I need to concentrate on making potions for you.”
Then, a small yellow flower of anticipation sprouted above her head, swaying back and forth.
“…”
I’ll buy extra… Chen Qi changed out of his hunter’s clothes and put on a brown coat to keep warm.
Then, he lowered the dilapidated room boat from the Ghost Ship and, after a long absence, drove the small houseboat towards the distant Scorched Earth Town.
…
…
Dusk, Scorched Earth Town.
In the highest house in Scorched Earth Town, a man wearing a gray coat and a polite gray demeanor picked up a Bounty Order from the ground, adjusted his gray hat, and walked into the top room of the house through the dusty hallway.
The windows inside the room were firmly covered with wooden planks, leaving no light visible. One could only hear the squeaks of rats.
“Am I the last to arrive? Sorry.”
Grey Mouse placed his hat on his chest and bowed slightly towards the darkness.
As he bowed, a candle lit up in the pitch-black room, and five people were already seated in the corner.
“Yes…”
The man in the center of the room, a gaunt man with sunken eyes who looked particularly weak, quietly said.
On his waist, one could see a neat deck of cards and a dice; he was the well-known gambler from the Moonstone City Hunter Association.
Grey Mouse looked around at the five people present and quietly said,
“Bonfire Company’s Diya, the gambler Loren from the Moonstone City Hunter Association, the Supernova An from the White Dove Newspaper, the renowned bounty hunter Silver Drip, and the recently famous Elf Hunter, Seafood Hunter Nancy, all masters of the Third Rank, this gathering really has gathered talents from various fields.”
After speaking, Grey Mouse sat down in the chair and lit a cigarette.
The leading gambler, Loren, touched the card in his hand and introduced the grey hat,
“Let me introduce, the president of the Black Mine City Hunter Association, Grey Mouse, also the strongest Third Rank Transcendent I know. Give him some time to prepare, even a Legend would die by his hand.
He once eradicated the Black Whale Pirate Ship, which had ten Third Rank members, all by himself.
Thus, many also call him the Legendary Grey Mouse.”
“Isn’t he still a Third Rank?”
Diya couldn’t help but comment.
“Exactly speaking, he should be called a ‘minor legend’.”
The bounty hunter Silver Mask, standing next to Diya, seriously added.
Wearing a mask, despite the distorted voice, one could feel that this might be a ruthless female assassin.
Grey Mouse raised his eyebrow and humbly said,
“No, there’s still some distance to a ‘minor legend,’ half a step, half a step to legend.”
“…”
In the corner, An touched the tired Water Elf No.2 in his hands, not knowing what to do for a moment.
“So, being a mechanic capable of controlling the Black Rock Mecha, what level am I at? A minor legend?”
Beside him, an excited Nancy blinked at Grey Mouse and then said excitedly,
“That needs a strict judgment…”
Nancy is a recently famous hunter, completed a lot of high-level monster commissions, known as the Elf Hunter and Seafood Hunter because of his elf-like appearance and love for seafood.
“Cough cough, everyone, we’re getting off topic.”
The gathering’s center gambler, Loren, coughed twice and placed a stack of papers on the table.
On the table was the commission that caused a huge sensation between hunters and witches, and on the commission, prominently displayed was the emblem of the Magic Bullet family, the top nobility of Moonstone City.
The gambler Loren said:
“Magic Bullet hired me to be the main person in charge of this bounty,” he explained. “If we can capture either the Black Hunter or a witch, we will receive a promise from the Magic Bullet family, a Legendary profession card.”
Everyone gasped upon seeing the emblem of the Magic Bullet family, which possessed this capability through five hundred years of accumulation.
Only Nancy’s expression remained unchanged as she questioned,
“Capture the Black Hunter, are you sure?”
A trace of fear flickered through Nancy’s eyes; the Black Hunter was a monster that had fought with the Dragon Tamer King and survived!
Gambler Loren spoke without changing his tone,
“The Black Hunter is indeed powerful, able to fend off the Dragon Tamer King with the help of the Flower Witch, truly deserving of the title ‘small legend.’
But aren’t the six of us here legends of the Third Rank?”
All legends of the Third Rank!
After saying this, all six people casually glanced at each other.
Their collective prey was not each other, hence, the significance of each team member!
Within these six, each person’s Spirit Power Field was extremely unique, some exceptionally strong, others clearly concealing their own Spirit Power Fields.
Seizing the moment, Loren added,
“With us having Mechanic Diya, who fought fiercely with the Black Hunter and came out unscathed, and Elf Hunter Nancy, who once chased the Blue Beast, what is there to fear?”
Chasing the Blue Beast! Fiercely fighting the Black Hunter and escaping unharmed!
Diya and Nancy, upon hearing this, showed no change in expression, their faces cold.
The group nodded at each other, recognizing each other’s strength.
A gathering of heroes!
It seemed they were all top experts; this operation appeared very stable… Diya thought quietly to himself.
Gambler Loren continued,
“At present, capturing the Black Hunter seems easier than capturing a witch. Therefore, our goal is set to capture the Black Hunter, if no one objects.”
The group exchanged glances, no objections raised.
Immediately after, Loren silently took out a report,
“However, it’s not just the Black Hunter; there’s also the cold and cruel witch by his side. But, according to images left by the White Dove Newspaper, the witch has sustained very serious injuries.
Therefore, if we want to capture the Black Hunter, we must dare to do it before the witch fully recovers; we might have only one month.”
“One month?”
Grey Mouse leaned back,
“Don’t talk about one month, even if you gave us two months, we wouldn’t be able to capture the Black Hunter! The Black Hunter wears black hunter’s clothes, his back completely covered with twisted tentacles. Unless he can disable some ability or state, he absolutely won’t appear easily within our sight.”
“If he can disable it, then beneath that pitch-black shadow, there’s a human face, but without knowing his appearance, we don’t even have a target, how can we capture him?”
Grey Mouse crossed his legs; they had no idea of the target’s location, finding him blindly was like searching for a needle in the sea.
However, at this moment, to his surprise, Gambler Loren silently took out a gold-edged vanity mirror from beneath his clothes.
At the handle of the mirror was a white dove pattern.
And in an instant, everyone felt an extremely strong Lamp Phase aura from this mirror, a high-ranking Lamp Phase aura.
Gambler Loren quietly said,
“Let me introduce, this is a taboo object, capable of tracking an enemy’s location, but the premise is, we need something, some information, like the true appearance of the Black Hunter.”
A Lamp Phase taboo object, really rare… An muttered to himself.
In the Witch Sea, Lamp Phase taboo objects were extremely rare.
To capture the Black Hunter, the Magic Bullet family had already brought out a taboo object… The corners of everyone’s mouths curled into excited smiles.
Continuing, Gambler Loren said,
“Of course, such tracking can be perceived by the intuition of a Light Seer, and also, to pinpoint a more specific location, we still need something, something related to the Black Hunter, like blood, hair, or even a piece of cloth from his clothes.
I wonder, do any of you have it?”
As he spoke, Gambler Loren’s gaze fell on An and Diya.
