Chapter 536: Chapter 205: The Charging Queen_1

From within the speaker flowers came a strident cry from Tang Dun, as if this was the only way to release his inner shock.

Zheng Qing tightly gripped the brass telescope in his hand, his knuckles turning white.

He knew what Tang Dun was astonished at.

In fact, his feelings were just as shocked.

Several hundred meters away from the attacking sheep monster group, Queen Qiong, riding a deer, appeared just over a small hill. She almost simultaneously spotted the Wild Demon King across from her.

Yet she appeared not to pull out the Law book, summon wooden stakes, stones and vines to build defensive positions, nor show any willingness to draw defensive formations on the ground and wait for support.

Or rather, she seemed to have absolutely no sense of urgency.

Upon spotting the scarlet-eyed, hideous sheep monster king, the queen hopped off the deer’s head and landed lightly on the ground.

She then turned her head and said something to the towering ’Four Dissimilars’.

The deer, docile, bowed its body and rubbed its horns against her boot. It then turned around and bounded away like a rabbit escaping from a hunting dog in panic, quickly disappearing from Zheng Qing’s sight.

Before the young cost student had time to mock the timid deer, he saw Queen Qiong turn around and stretch herself out.

Her figure in the sunlight was beautiful.

Like a plum blossom blooming in the bitter cold, it was moving.

After stretching, Queen Qiong pulled a red wooden hairpin from her pocket, casually fashioned a solid bun, revealing a stretch of white, long neck.

Then she unsheathed the long sword she carried on her back, swirled it a few times, lifted her head, and revealed a brilliant smile to the sky.

This smile was incredibly sincere.

Those gentle eyes did not contain a trace of hesitation.

The fragments of rocks and rubble in the valley began to tremble slightly, and a few sparse dry grass swaying too — it wasn’t the wind, but the dread aura of the sheep monsters in the distance charging.

Their hard hooves knocked on the solid ground, and with their heads lowered, they revealed shiny, hideous horns.

Then, under the leadership of the head sheep, they charged downhill in an unstoppable momentum and in the blink of an eye, the gap between them and the witch was less than a hundred meters.

The queen took a deep breath, raised her long sword, gave a light shout, her body pressing down and like an arrow off a string, she charged straight into the monster group.

No hesitation!

No evasion!

Clash head-on!

Use force against force!

"Charge!!"

"Kill!!"

"Hack down those sheepish monsters!!"

Outside of the little world, at almost the same time, deafening roars erupted from the audience surrounding the Hunting Ground One. The red-robed Jiuyou, the blue-robed Starry Sky, the yellow-robed Atlas, and even those white-robed Alphas, almost all the young wizards stood up, waving their fists and banners, battering the rhythm on heavy drums, cheering for Queen Qiong of the Queen of Hearts Q.

Young people always fantasize about heroes.

What’s more exciting than brandishing a sword, charging headlong into a horde of wild monsters?

No one could maintain their composure in such a boiling atmosphere.

Even Doctor Xiao couldn’t.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zheng Qing saw Xiao Xiao clearly, waving his hefty notebook, making the chair in front of him ring with echos.

But at this time, nobody cared about his impoliteness.

Everyone was staring intently at the narrow valley, anticipating, waiting.

Fortunately, the wait wasn’t long.

In a split second, and before Zheng Qing could blink, the charging Sheep Monster Group collided with Queen Qiong.

There were no loud rumbling noises or earth-shattering movements.

It was as if waves were washing against a hard rock, splashing blood and shattering waves.

Queen Qiong tiptoed, dancing through the charging demon group.

Her Long Sword skillfully sliced through the throats of the fragile sheep monsters.

Whether it was a female or baby Sheep Monster, they all rolled on the ground under her dancing blade, unable to rise again. Even that Wild Demon King, despite skillfully blocking with its massive horns for a few rounds, couldn’t dodge in the end and had one of its eyes burst by Queen Qiong’s Long Sword, spilling brain matter.

"Oh! What a pity... really such a pity!"

From the Speaker Flowers, Tang Dun’s regretful voice echoed: "I have to say, the ’Queen’s’ latest move has severely damaged her spoils. While I’m not sure about the Hunting Committee’s specific scoring rules for this Hunt, but based on previous experience, we can predict that the Queen of Hearts Q’s score for this hunting round has been significantly reduced - after all, Wild Demon Kings only have two eyes, and each of them carry a high value."

"Of course, her merits far outweigh this criticism. Queen Qiong has shown her strength to every audience member here in a brilliant solo show.... Let’s go back and review that brief but fierce encounter a few minutes ago!"

The camera panned to the other four members of Queen of Hearts Q arriving late.

When they arrived on the river valley’s shore, their captain was sitting atop the corpse of the Wild Demon King, leaning on her long sword and tilting her head to gaze at the turbulent river in the distance.

Zheng Qing exhaled gently, put down the brass telescope in his hand, and rubbed his aching wrists.

"That was too easy," he murmured, his tone filled with disbelief.

As someone who had encountered demons multiple times in the past six months, the young scholarship student could confidently say that the charging Sheep Monster Group just then was far more formidable in air than the Wild Boar Monster in the Great Ming Pavilion, by at least a twofold.

But such a formidable group of monsters hadn’t even lasted three to five rounds in the hands of the delicate-looking witch.

In just a single encounter, they were almost entirely decimated.

"It’s not that it was too easy, but that she’s very strong," said Zhang Ji Xin, gritting his teeth.

He had put his gloves back on at some point and was squeezing the air tightly with his fists, seeming to seek solace in doing so.

"She uses swords, and so does Blue Bird!" Zheng Qing suddenly thought of something and turned around to seek the Blue Bird, the reserve hunter of the Absolution Hunting team: "Can you explain to us?"

The Blue-robed wizard sat on the edge of the hunting group, holding a long sword, staring at the mini-world with an expressionless face.

Upon hearing his team leader’s shout, he looked up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Speed".

Then he resumed his meditative state.

"That’s it??" Zheng Qing lifted his eyebrows in surprise. Although he was prepared for Blue Bird’s reticence, a one-word explanation left him a little perplexed.

His answer should at least be longer than the question, right!

"Blue Bird is right," Xiao Xiao explained as he took notes, "If I am not mistaken, the ’Queen’ just now skillfully used ’Slash Technique’... Although I couldn’t clearly count the number of strikes, it’s obvious that she made it look like a piece of cake, still leaving room for more..."

"I feel like you’re talking about martial arts novel routines," Zheng Qing rolled his eyes, his worldview a bit scrambled: "Aren’t we wizards... can’t you describe her just now’s behaviour using the ’wizard’ terminologies..."

"You missed the main point," Doctor Xiao shook his head: "As the leader of a hunting team, what you should be thinking about now is, what kind of measures to take if you encounter a group of Wild Demons like just now? Should you, like her, take on a group of Wild Demons single-handedly, wielding a long sword?"

Before Zheng Qing could speak, Xiao Xiao added, "Were you about to ask why she didn’t use the Law Book, spells, or talisman formation method during the fight?"

Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.

"So, that’s the point... If you can kill those Wild Demons, does it really matter how it’s done? Even if you dug a bunch of traps and buried them alive, what’s the difference between that and using a Binding Spell to strangle them to death? Moreover, facing a group of prey with strong magic resistance, is using Magic really the wise choice?"

"Don’t be quick to use the few spells you learned to solve all your problems."

"This is Hunting Ground." The doctor concluded: "We are not going in there to practice spells... but to hunt demons."
