Chapter 543: Chapter 212: Sudden Storm _1

Small World.

In the middle of the sparse tree prairie in the south.

Under the tallest baobab tree.

As the head of the last wild demon was cut off, the grey haze that shrouded the wilderness faded, a slightly frivolous voice immediately cut through the lonely wasteland, reaching the ears of the Hunters of Queen of Hearts Q:

"Oh, you all have worked hard...everyone!"

Luke instantly turned his head, cautiously looking towards the source of the voice.

On this prairie, the only ones who would talk in this tone were the Hunters of Clover Hunting team. As a qualified Auxiliary Hunter, Luke had anticipated this happening when Queen of Hearts charged towards the Monkey Demon Group.

The only thing that took him by surprise was that during the full-on assault on the Monkey Demon Group by Queen of Hearts Q, the Clover Hunting team didn’t stab them in the back or ambush them. Instead, they maintained their silence until the battle under the baobab tree ended.

This caused Luke, the Left Auxiliary of Queen of Hearts Q, to quietly praise them, while becoming even more alert - having such a calm demeanor meant either they had no desire for this group of prey or they had no apprehensions about Queen of Hearts Q.

To compete for the final ticket, Clover obviously wouldn’t remain indifferent to this group of Level 9 prey.

So, the only possibility was that the observing hunting team beside the boulder thought that Queen of Hearts Q hunting team could not pose any threat to them, so they felt a bit relieved.

"It really feels... like we’ve been underestimated." Luke muttered, silently pulling out the law book from his waist.

Seemingly realizing his greeting was being ignored, the frivolous voice sounded again: "Thank you all for your hard work...the rest shall be left to us. Let’s not have demon’s dirty bloodstain damage the clean clothes of our Queen of Hearts...as for evisceration, heart extraction, eye gouging, these dirty and tiring tasks shall be handled by us."

The one who was talking was Arthur·Ness, standing to Commander’s left.

Although his tone sounded very ’humble’, the content of his words was enough to make people laugh in anger.

Luke raised his head to look at his team leader.

After killing the Wild Demon King, Queen Qiong gave up hunting the other Small Demons. Instead, she sat on a fork of the baobab tree crown, leaning against the thick trunk, with her head down, her eyes half-closed, looking as if she was gathering her energy.

Even the provocative words that Arthur·Ness just said couldn’t make the queen raise her eyelids.

Luke calmed his mind and turned to look at the location of the Clover Hunting team.

"No need to bother." He abruptly rejected Arthur·Ness’s ’kindness’, and simultaneously made a few silent hand gestures to his teammates.

After the battle under the baobab tree ended, the other hunters of Queen of Hearts Q also began to gather.

Whether it was Ani Black, who had been providing support on either side of the battlefield, or Zhan Shichen and Peter Greenspan, who were maintaining the barrier outside the field, all seemed to have noticed the tense atmosphere in the air, uniformly drew their law books, and prepared to activate their spells.

...

...

"I knew this trick wouldn’t work." Arthur·Ness turned his head to look at Sima Yi, shrugged and complained with a nasty attitude: "These bookworms from Jiuyou Academy, unless you beat them with a spell...otherwise they would never understand what respect means."

Sima Yi smiled slightly without speaking.

Since Arthur·Ness recommended him to Sir Friedman, Sir Friedman had favored him, praising him in front of everyone countless times, discussing with him the advantages and disadvantages and implementation of various club policies.

On the contrary, due to the conflict with a group of freshmen at the beginning of the school year, Arthur·Ness’s position in Sir Friedman’s heart quickly declined. As a result, he not only failed to get a reserve hunter position in the Hemophilia Hunting team, but even lost his Auxiliary Hunter’s seat in the 3A Hunting team.

An obvious fact was that Sima Yi was frequently appearing in Sir Friedman’s lounge and seldom went to Ness’s small, empty lounge.

This also caused the atmosphere between the two of them to become more delicate.

"But, the spell they just used was really powerful!" On the side, Nicolas Dunnigan, an ’Apprentice Druid’ from Atlas was squatting on the ground, gently loosening the soil for several tufts of grass, and kept mumbling: "...these grasses and baobab tree told me that they were scared just now."

"What about the deer? Can you feel where it is?" On the other side, the skinny Kitano Gen asked excitedly, "The hide of that Four Dissimilars looked good. I just want to get a new hidden weapon pouch..."

"If you were a little taller, you could have seen that the deer has already been sacrificed." Arthur Ness taunted bluntly, "Of course, if you don’t mind using a pile of lifeless, hard-as-stone hide, I could tell you where the deer is right now."

Kitano Gen opened his mouth, but in the end, he slumped in disappointment.

The hunters’ unproductive conversation finally caught the attention of the Commander sitting on the boulder.

The leader of the Clover Hunting Team, appearing as if he had just woken up, lifted his head, opened his hazy eyes, and looked towards the tall baobab tree, "Eh? Where are my monkeys?"

...

...

"Finally...couldn’t contain it anymore, huh?"

Watching the Commander slowly rising from the boulder, Luke took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the Law Book.

Behind him, came the weak voice of Insect Tail, "Do you think...we will be okay?"

"If we hurt them enough, we certainly will be." Ani Black grinned ferociously, "Or you can try running right now... see if you can escape the pursuit of the Clover."

Peter was taken aback and gritted his teeth; he took an ampoule bottle from his pocket.

"Don’t push me!" he murmured in a low voice, shaking the bottle in his hand.

Under the sunlight, the almost transparent faint red liquid in the bottle was making a gurgling sound.

...

...

"So, while I was taking a nap, those bookworms killed all of our prey?" The Commander stood on the boulder, hands on hips, looking down at his team members.

"Didn’t you know you were napping?!" Arthur Ness roared in his heart, but ultimately didn’t dare to voice his doubts about the Hunting Team Leader’s statement.

"That’s right." Sima Yi answered with a mild smile, giving the Commander an affirmative answer.

The leader of Clover Hunting Team tilted his head, squinted, and smacked his lips.

"What a bother...truly troublesome." He muttered, curling his right index finger and scratching his bald head with its blackened tip, "I promised the Duke that I would compete peacefully...but I can’t let people casually snatch my prey, can I?"

He seemed to be asking, and at the same time, rhetorically answering himself.

"I got it!" The commander of the Clover Hunting Team slammed his right fist into his left palm, lowered his gaze to look at his team again, his face revealing a dangerous smile, "I’ll go have a chat with them to get our prey back, shall we?"

Without waiting for others to respond, he snapped his fingers, "That’s settled!"

After finishing speaking, he bent his waist and knees, and pushed off with his legs.

The huge oblong boulder under his feet made ominous cracking noises.

"Boom!"

The Commander leapt into the air like a cannonball, hurtling towards the direction of the Queen of Hearts Q Hunting Team.

Behind him,

The large boulder, after resisting for a moment, shattered with a great rumble.

It broke into a pile of evenly-sized fist-sized fragments.

Under the influence of gravity, it formed a slightly raised heap.
