Chapter 537: Chapter 206 The Real Enemy_1

Mini World.

In the Southwest Valley.

"I wish I could be sitting in the grandstand right now, drinking soda and listening to music, watching people gasping and running around below, covered in blood."

Luke, also known as the codename Moon Face, the Left Auxiliary Hunter of the Queen of Hearts Q, looked up at the clouds drifting in the sky and the shadows faintly appearing behind them, stood up, removed the disposable silkworm skin gloves covered in blood from his hands, and sighed deeply.

"I’m done over here." He turned around and shouted to the other few.

He was referring to the cleanup work after demon hunting.

As a highly consuming activity, maintaining the wizards’ long-term interest in demon hunting through continuous active investment is difficult. Only the continuous benefits brought by the prey can guarantee the continuation of demon hunting activities—compared to that, the profits gained from organizing hunting competitions are not valued by real wizards.

Like the blood, flesh, and souls of the wizards are delicious delicacies and first-rate tonics for demons.

The eyeballs, hearts, and mutated organs of the demons are the best experimental materials for the wizards.

Over a long period of time, wizards have summed up countless ways to use these trophies. For example, ink mixed with demon blood can better preserve the effects of runes; bone meal mixed with fertilizer from demon bones can greatly promote the growth of magical plants; those blood-red eyeballs and strong hearts make divination magic, sacrifice magic, and many other originally criticized ’black magic’ completely cleared and become mandatory content in the curriculum of senior students at the First University.

Of course, in the hunting competition, hunters can only select parts of the demon’s organs as their trophies. The remaining parts will be recycled by the Hunting Committee as their income.

Considering the pollution of demon’s flesh and blood, the difficulty of skeleton removal, eyeballs, and hearts become the favorite trophies of hunters. So now, most of the hunting competitions even specifically use the number of eyeballs and hearts obtained by the hunting team as the only criteria for calculating points.

Luke stuffed the blood-stained silkworm skin gloves into the garbage bag and jingled the glass bottle in his hand.

The sticky liquid in the bottle made a gurgling sound, and the demon eyes soaked in that liquid seemed to be like rolling hawthorns, looking very appetizing, which inexplicably awakened his appetite.

He restrained this strange thought and turned to look at the Right Aide of the hunting team: "Sharp Fork... I bet, those guys up there must have been shocked by the commander’s combat power just now."

Since the commander broke through the limit of slashing, this is her first public appearance. The male wizard was confident that today’s battle will be another significant event in the rise of the Queen of Hearts Q.

The male wizard called Sharp Fork didn’t collect trophies like the other hunters.

He was sitting next to a massive red rock, stirring a small pile of firewood in front of him with a stick, carefully observing the demon bones crackling in the firepit.

"Whatever you say... as the commander, that kind of tactics she used earlier was not advisable." Zhan Shichen muttered, frowning, seemingly a little doubtful about the result of the divination.

Luke glanced at Queen Qiong, who was sitting on the back of the Four Dissimilars not far away—after the hunting team cleaned up this group of wild demons, that Four Dissimilars ran back obediently and continued to act as a foot force.

In Luke’s view, this is a very wise choice. After all, hunters and demons killing frantically are everywhere now, and a Four Dissimilars grazing alone would hardly live to see the next sunrise.

"You can stop her now!" The Left Auxiliary Hunter showed a subtle smile on his face, watching the male wizard in front of the firepit and whispering, "You can say the divination result is terrible, we need to go north as soon as possible... I think, as long as we take down the intensity 3 demon group in the north, today’s hunting competition should almost be done."

"That’s because you ignored our trophies." Another slim and tall male wizard walked over quickly, complaining, "I’ve never seen such a violent method... The poor goat, its brain sprayed out a meter away! She destroyed one of the eyeballs of the Wild Demon King, I feel we need at least one more group of intensity 5 or above demon group to have a chance to win."

Saying that, he handed his own glass bottle to the Left Auxiliary Hunter.

Luke took that glass bottle. Indeed, there was only one large eyeball soaked in the liquid, which contrasted sharply with the other small eyeballs.

"Indeed... it is a bit regretful." He sighed and put the glass bottle into his waist pouch.

"Sha... sharp fork, why are you making... making a fire in broad daylight?" A short, fat male wizard stumbled over, handing over his collected trophies while stuttering quietly, "I can see the smoke from afar..."

"Maybe he forgot to check his equipment yesterday and left the crystal ball and tarot cards in the dormitory." The slim tall male wizard smiled indifferently.

"Big... Big Foot! This joke is not funny!" The short, fat male wizard was so anxious that he flushed, "Maybe there are already a circle of wild demons sneaking around while we are chatting!"

"Isn’t that just right! It saves us the trouble of looking for them everywhere!" The male wizard named Big Foot cracked his fingers and curled the corners of his mouth with a dismissive smile.

The Right Aide next to him seemed to turn a deaf ear to the conversation of his companions, still focusing on the bone fragments that were burned to the point of bursting in front of him, looking quite distressed.

"Any situation?" The Left Auxiliary Hunter squatted down and also brought his head closer.

As one of the excellent students of Jiuyou Academy, although he is not very good at divination, he does know it a little. It’s just that he’s not very good at grasping the direction of the tiny patterns on the bone pieces.

The fire in front of Sharp Fork began to fade, and the dirty white bone fragments with curved cracks along the carving holes in the black ashes became clearer and clearer.

A large gap stretched across the middle of the crack, like an ugly scar.

Even if Luke was not good at analyzing the progression of the patterns, he could still see the peril within the bone shard.

"What did you divine?" He can’t help but ask.

Different divination targets naturally correspond to different results. Perhaps Zhan Shichen was merely observing the situation of the gouged-eyed wild demons around him descending to hell after their death. Luke comforted himself with this thought.

"It’s terrible, terrible." The diviner shakes his head, ruffling his own messy hair: "The result of the divination is terrible."

Luke laughed dryly.

Although a few minutes ago, he had used this kind of argument to influence the Sharp Fork to reverse the captain’s risky plan, it was clear that the Sharp Fork’s current remarks were heartfelt.

"What’s terrible?"

"Is it the result of the hunt or our next opponent?"

The other two hunters couldn’t help but ask.

"The divination shows that if we continue to head south, the captain will face great risk...the danger comes from our real enemy." The diviner pulls his hair, deep in contemplation, "According to the traces on the bone shard, this ’real enemy’ is not a demon... but besides demons, what else in the hunting ground can become our real enemy?"

Luke and Ani Black can’t help but exchange a look.

"Alpha!"

"Commander!"

The two almost simultaneously blurted out this conclusion--even though their expresses were different, the meaning was the same.

For Queen Qiong from Jiuyou Academy, the only competitor that could be regarded as her real enemy in the hunting ground besides the demons, might be that zombie from Alpha Academy.

"Let’s go north then." Luke immediately makes a decision.

It’s not that he’s afraid of that male wizard from Alpha Academy—this is a hunting game organized by the school, even if the zombie is brutal, it won’t dare to do anything excessive. But he believes that precious time in the hunting ground should not be wasted on battling other hunting teams.

Hunting demons is the most important thing.

"You trick the captain, tell her that Moon Face predicted there’s a large demon herd at the north." Luke turns to look at Ani Black. "You’re the most eloquent among us..."

"I’m not sure if this sounds like a compliment." Ani twitched the corner of his mouth, turning around to head towards that small hill.

"I can hear you, you know." The witch sitting on the reindeer tilts her head, shouting, "Next time you try to deceive me, please don’t do it upwind..."

The ’Big Footboard’ who just took a step stopped instantly, spread his hands to show his innocence.

Behind him, Luke’s face instantly went dark.

He subconsciously glanced at the diviner, "Don’t you construct a safety barrier when you divine?!"

"Are you blind?! Can’t you see if there are any runes or magic circles around?!" Zhan Shichen rolled his eyes, "Besides, you guys are just next to me, why should I waste magic power!"

Before the Left Auxiliary Hunter could keep complaining, the witch on the reindeer not far away had already stood up.

"So it’s decided then!" She kicked the ’Sharp Fork’ on top of the reindeer’s head, raised her long knife, and waved it forward, "Let us continue heading south! ... Sharp Fork, no need for the divination, get ready your spell book and spells, let us crush all enemies in front of us!!"

The Queen of Hearts’s Left Auxiliary felt a bit dizzy listening to the leader’s passionate exclamation.

"I haven’t tried chopping people with the spell book yet." The Right Aide also stood up from the ground, kicking the dirt on the remaining ashes and laughing.

"That’s just a hyperbolic rhetorical device." Ani Black explained seriously.

"Can’t you guys stop her?" Luke’s forehead started to throb.

"Can you stop her?" Zhan Shichen pointed at the reindeer that was preparing to run, looking helpless, "If you can catch up with that beast, you can try... but be careful not to be cut down by the captain’s large knife."

"I won’t burn paper money for you." Ani Black quickly added.

Luke looked up, saw the reindeer that had run away in a cloud of dust, took a deep breath again, and pulled out a few godspeed talismans from his bag.

"Put it on, put it on." He irritably stuffed a few talismans into his companions’ jackets, "Since we can’t stop her, let’s catch up quick... anyway, don’t let that zombie take advantage."
