Chapter 485: Chapter 318 An’s Abnormality
Under the dim sky, fog slowly gathered, and between the mists, a not-so-bright white light, like the eye of a hunter, gazed down upon them.
The crew on the ship all retreated.
In this instant, they were like rabbits hidden in the brush, and the hunter who was tracking them parted the foliage to look down at them.
“Loren, what is… that?”
Diya’s voice was hesitant.
The hunter shrouded in black fog was not in their intelligence!
Unknown, that was the greatest fear!
They saw the giant amidst the black fog slowly lift his hunter’s gun from his waist and then aim it at their trimaran, pulling the trigger.
Bang!
The crowd heard a silent ‘gunshot’.
They froze in place, like puppets, for a full three seconds.
Until after three seconds, the hunter in the air gently dissipated with the seawind, vanishing into the sea.
“What exactly happened? Doesn’t anyone have a clue!?
White Tower Federation exchange student, do you know?”
Diya repeated the question, hoping for an answer.
An clenched her fists:
“That shadow in the fog, it resembles the legendary Deep Sea Hunter.”
“Deep Sea Hunter?”
The foreigner Nancy stepped forward.
“Yes, in legend, the Deep Sea Hunter doesn’t use a hunting gun as a weapon; he fires only to mark his enemy, and once hit by his bullet, it means, you’ve been marked, turned into prey…”
“Those marked by the Deep Sea Hunter, will live in fear until they perish at sea, and only then will the terror disappear.”
Loren provided additional information for An, as the Deep Sea Hunter was a legend he became familiar with since childhood.
So that’s how it is… The crowd nodded and then uniformly turned to look at An who resolved their doubts.
What’s going on? An looked up and immediately widened her sky-blue eyes, pulling out a small mirror.
In the mirror, beneath her white locks of hair, on her forehead, an “X” had been marked, a Hunter’s Mark indicating she was hunted.
“I’ve been hunted.”
The usually calm An, with a typically indifferent expression, could no longer suppress her emotions and gripped the mirror tightly.
Seeing this, Loren, the team captain, offered some consolation:
“Who knows which bastard is impersonating the Deep Sea Hunter, playing some boring tricks.”
“…”
An put away the mirror, stood up straight, and maintained her composure, trying her best to appear unflustered.
One of the most famous supernova hunters, she had actually become the hunted.
Don’t panic!
She quickly calmed down and took out her Magic Wand, maintaining as much composure as possible.
Black Hunter? Could it be the mysterious creature in the fog… An’s thoughts raced as she pointed her Magic Wand out to the sea.
Gambler Loren stepped forward and shouted:
“Don’t worry, everyone, I’m feeling lucky today; once we return full-handed, I’ll take you to my house for my wife’s rose cakes.”
“Oh, you haven’t met my wife yet, hm, although she doesn’t really like people in the same profession as me, her rose cakes are really tasty.”
Why do I feel such a strong sense of unease… The elf hunter Nancy wiped sweat from her forehead and gave a wry smile:
“When I get back, I’ll show you the pleasures of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.”
We’ll pass on that… An and Diya, among others, shook their heads.
After exchanging a few words, everyone turned their full attention back to the fog ahead.
A small wooden boat slowly emerged from within the fog.
There was no one on the boat; only a twisted creature with the lower body of a snake and the upper body of a toad.
“Ribbit!”
The golden toad let out a loud croak, and then an arm emerged from within it, and slowly, a person covered in slime surfaced from inside the toad.
Loren’s eyes grew cold; the creature before him was the Mist Merchant mentioned in the intelligence!
However, his condition was a lot more wretched than Loren had imagined; his body was severely injured, and clear signs of cuts and burn scars could be seen on his skin.
“He’s badly injured.”
Gambler Loren voiced.
At that moment, the Mist Merchant’s gaze fixed on him and he muttered:
“Five hundred.”
Five hundred, is that my value? Just as the rumors said, this is a merchant who doesn’t know the real goods… Gambler Loren readied the revolver in his hand and aimed at the Mist Merchant.
Bang!
The bullet fired a fierce flash from the gun barrel, targeting the Mist Merchant.
The gun in his hand was the Lucky Gun, with only a one-in-six chance of luck!
And this shot, fortunately, hit the mark!
With a blinding flash, a large hole was torn through the Mist Merchant’s chest.
Dark red blood kept falling from his chest.
“That really hurts…”
The Mist Merchant lifted his head, mumbling from the corner of his mouth, under orders to kill all who entered the shallow parts of the Mist Sea.
But his body had been seriously damaged during the battle with Chen Qi.
“Thankfully, there seems to be a good target here…”
The Mist Merchant twisted his neck and slowly looked towards An at the ship bow.
His instincts told him that her loss of control was only momentary!
Silent and without warning, a small puff of black mist spread again over An’s face, covering her visage.
Working with the mist, a slight push, he could cause chaos, just like he had done to the Flower Witch moments ago!
In the shallow parts of the Mist Sea, he was the embodiment of chaos.
He didn’t need to defeat everyone; one person’s chaos could spread to two, and two people’s chaos could double to four…
“Desire Mist…”
The Mist Merchant whispered as the golden toad on his shoulder once again spewed out a dense black fog.
