My Last Hunt

Chapter 145: Level Four (45)

Level Four (45)

Cursed hunter has planned something dangerous:

The young hunter is ambitious;

Holding a loose hope was foolish act in the eyes of wise people and those who don't dangle their interests at the fake fate lullaby. All of them knew that it would be impossible to kill this monster since the evening fell and the monster would not give them rest time.

Even if the next day reach during this hunt, the teams would have been dead tired and fully injured by then despite their working all at once. This was the might of level six peak monster who has the cheat of being in the Snow Island.

And it was all in the vague terms so no one can predict the possible circumstances. Qiao has seen what was going on and what he could expect, once the bridge was broken the teams and the encampment would all fell in despair and all races of the monsters would be free to rampage until the higher classes approach and control the situation.

The most important was to kill the monster or wait for death. As to what way was the best for killing was up to the choice of hunters, all of them were free to decide especially Qiao being outsider. So he made a blunt choice in front of them. They were sure that they would never be able to see the dead body of the hunter unless they find chance and cut open the carcass of the monster.

The idea was not impractical just little bit dangerous. Qiao was being soaked in the innards as well as trying best to use the swords while fighting with the insanely fast pace and movements of the monster. It seemed the monster wanted to kill him and then digest or vomit out the leftovers.

Whatever it was, Qiao would be facing repercussions of this planning of the monster. He held the sword and fixed his feet to not dangle here and there in the living intestines then stabbed the sword in hurry because he was about to fell again.

If he kept falling again and again then the struggle might never end. The sword stabbed and Qiao kept forcing it to cut the large bowl where he was currently, if he has been a degree holder in the zoology he might could tell where exactly he was.

Perhaps it was not much strong or the sword has something to do with it, some of the part was cut and large amount of water flooded.

When the bowl was cut open it also injured the place from where the innards of the monster collect breathing from the water after collecting it inside. Qiao took some of the rushing water in because he opened mouth to swear. He kept the strong hold on the sword and stabbed it against the body.

After cutting and making a big wound, he walked ahead like a mountaineer with the help of the sword. He was like ripping the inner body little by little in search of vital part and finally could see two or three illumination stones at the other side of sealed place.

He sighed, it has been four minutes the time when he jumped inside the mouth of the monster. Only three minutes were left and then his lungs would give in. The monster got alarmed when the hunter casted his eyes at the stones. Qiao's senses got an immense warning at the same time and he thought if he delayed then he could rest in pieces for sure after those few moments.

The monster was about to release the saved amount of acidic liquid which would burn the hunter alive. After that the monster would expel the remaining acidic liquid and the leftovers of the hunter. Qiao walked forward stabbing and hitting the sword blindly to reach the sealed place.

Fortunately he cut the seal open and the monster lost all strength to carry the struggle. There were only two stones which lost the illumination right after the seal was broken. Qiao picked the stone and felt that he was falling in the abyss.

It was because the huge lifeless body was falling in the depths of the lake. Qiao lost the balance and dragged downward hoping to get the sudden support. The flipper which was seriously injured was giving some water inside the body.

He stabbed the sword to get hold on the body, he was recklessly stabbing untill there was hope that the thick skin finally gave in. With the sword the skin was ripped enough to drag the body outside. It was not the end of struggle.

He was short of time and currently inside the lake who knows how long will it take for him to swim back on the surface.

When he picked the stones and fell in the lake and then looked at the falling body of the monster, the invisible layers stopped the water from hurting him anymore. When he realized that something was amiss, he was agape to see the changes. He was dying to reach the surface but has no strength to swim back.

Despite fighting against the monster, he was going to lost his life at least it was what came in his mind after seeing the lifeless huge body. He let out deep breaths satisfying his lungs which were fully out of fresh breath.

Such a thing exist and it was in his hand, it was quite strange. The stones were expelling the water away and Qiao was no more in danger.

He swam back and reached the surface, the red water of the lake was still the same. The leader was looking toward the center where the signs of the monster slowly faded, he especially came at the surface to take a look and lit all the illumination stones to see what happened to the both, hunter and the monster.

He has no hope for hunter but when the signs of struggle died down, he felt something hit his chest unable to control his curiosity and landed there to search both. When a head appeared his grip on the sword tightened but it was hunter not the monster.

Qiao extended his hand to see the leader, he was now level five and the two stones were in his hand still. "Where is the monster?" leader immediately asked.

Qiao opened the palm of his hand and the leader was left speechless, he could not ask anything further instead stepped aside and called his men. "Help this hunter in changing the better clothing." he didn't ask about anything, there were many small injuries which were evident through the ripped clothing.

He also didn't talk about the stones whether he was interested in them or not. If someone has the guts to go against the wind then he would definitely possess the strong feathers. For them the crisis were over and those organizers who were ready to hear the worst news were now at ease.

This was the most deadly weakness of the monsters. The place where they bear the stones, if someone cut the seal and snatch them then it means the actual life source was ripped from the huge body just like the heart of a human.

....

As soon as Qiao reached level five someone sitting in the endless darkness of caves shook the entire area upside down with the anger. If someone was unhappy then it was wicked hunter who was fuming at the advancement of the young hunter.

When he destroyed the whole underground hiding spot, the tamed monster was sure that the master was truly angry at something. Wicked hunter let out a horrible shouting and the crumbling area met the ground miserably.

It was a pity that the young man appeared smart though from his face he looked vulnerable and innocent while his heart seemed stronger than the mountains. "Ah my choice..." the wicked hunter smashed his fists against the rock and it broke in pieces.

He was regretting his choice to choose this young man as his hunt and a scapegoat. "He reached level five in one and a half month. Who the hell go that fast? I have no choice but to stop him. This level is the chance. After this he would reach the Hightown where I cannot go in this condition, not even wander by keeping the identity hidden. I have to stop him but what should I do?" he seemed talking to himself but actually talking to the beast.

The beast groaned first and then spoke, "Make this level hardest..." the beast brought out a stone in front of the master. It was level eight peak monster and has developed the intellect near the human level. Only there were few aspect which were incomplete or underdevelopment until the monster reached level ten.

At level ten the monsters can fully grasp the intellect and can communicate with humans, this was the reason that they wanted to replace human anarchy.
