Chapter 638: Chapter 307: The Disposition of the Spoils of War_1

"So you’re saying that the reason we didn’t catch any demons was because they were all drawn to you?"

"And all those wild demons have been slaughtered by this black tiger?"

"And you have collected all the spoils of war?"

Matthew Karen notes these three points with a tone of despair.

When Elena determines that Zheng Qing is not lying according to the lie detection rune, she quickly calls over the rest of the Karen Hunting Team — although there is a formidable tiger close by, the witch doesn’t consider it a threat.

"According to you, if this big cat can kill hundreds of wild demons, then what is the difference between standing in front of it or hiding a hundred meters away?"

Elena’s words were disheartening, but they struck at the core of the matter.

Zheng Qing considers this, and reluctantly admits that her judgement is reasonable.

The other hunters of the Karen Hunting Team, after hearing the Gypsy witch’s brief report, also nod their heads, agreeing with her judgement. However, compared to the intimidating big cat, the hunters of the Karen Hunting Team are more interested in Zheng Qing’s story.

Facing a group of curious faces, Zheng Qing has to repeat his experience again.

Everyone expresses admiration for his courage to lead the swarm of demons alone, but Matthew doesn’t focus on the disappearance of the bruise in Zheng Qing’s right eye or why the demons were chasing Zheng Qing.

The only concern for this young vampire of the Karen family is the missing prey!

Merlin above!

No, Cain above!!

If the body parts of those wild demons have all been taken away by Zheng Qing, how can the Karen Hunting Team strive for victory?!

Especially after Zheng Qing flaunts his abundant spoils of war to the others in the Karen hunting team, Matthew’s despair has reached its peak. For a moment, he even has the impulse to rob and kill.

For the aristocrats under moon, honor is more important than morality. When faced with the dilemma of upholding hunting rules or family honour, most would not hesitate. Only the young who have just left the castle and lack experience might regard the morality and principles taught in books.

Unluckily but fortunately, Matthew Karen is one such inexperienced youngster.

While Matthew is upset about the prey, Zheng Qing is trying hard to persuade the Karen Hunting Team to change their combat philosophy and look for other hunting teams:

"You should merge with other hunting teams!"

"This is the hunting ground of Prince Puppet, if we can’t work together, we won’t have a way out."

"Don’t you really believe that the ultimate winning team has a chance to get out alive?"

"Don’t forget, going out as a demon is also a way to survive..."

Although this speculation is very shocking, it must be admitted that Zheng Qing’s approach makes some sense. For a moment, whether it’s Adam, or Elena, or the siblings Nankai and Nanjian, all start thinking about the possibility of a coalition with other hunting teams.

Seeing that his persuasion is working, Zheng Qing feels relieved and increases the intensity of his persuasion: "From here, head northeast for about fifty kilometers, you will find where the Absolution Hunting Team and the Serpent Tail Hunting Team are stationed... Of course, they may also have moved, but it will certainly be easier to start from there..."

"Why do we need to cooperate with other hunting teams?" Matthew Karen, finally remembering his duty as the leader of the hunting team, immediately interrupts Zheng Qing’s words, and says in a cold tone: "Since nobody could break the puppet’s blockade in the chapel, what makes you think that in the hunting ground, teaming up will make us stronger? Not to mention that the master of this small world is that Secret Garden Elf who is in the same team with the puppet."

Zheng Qing was stunned: "But..."

He said ’but’ several times, but couldn’t think of anything suitable to counter. Although his intuition tells him that in this strange hunting ground, it is the right choice for everyone to unite, Matthew’s analysis is quite reasonable.

"...Therefore, I believe that according to the puppet’s request, getting first place in the hunt is the only way out," Matthew added finally.

Zheng Qing finally found a way to counter: "But, you have no chance!"

He lifted the grey cloth bag in his hand, reminding him: "If I guessed right, the eyeballs of most of the demons in this hunting ground are in my bag... and there are some nerves, bone powder... Here, there are a few bundles of skin on the back of the tiger..."

Matthew’s eyes twitched, and he almost smashed a Law Book on Zheng Qing’s head.

And so, the topic returned to where he had been originally troubled.

"If you’re willing to work with other teams, then this bag is yours." Zheng Qing suddenly picked up the grey cloth bag in his hand and said loudly: "But I must emphasize that the spoils in this bag are the spoils of all the new students participating in the Newcomer Competition, not the spoils of a certain hunting team!!"

Ten pairs of eyes were instantly focused on the unobtrusive grey cloth bag in Zheng Qing’s hand.

Everyone’s face revealed an unmistakable look of surprise.

"In this hunting ground, we will not sign any contracts." Matthew Karen hummed.

"I also don’t have any contracts for you to sign." Zheng Qing rubbed his head and laughed.

"Then how do you trust us?" Adam couldn’t help but ask.

"Should I trust that big cat next to me?" Zheng Qing rolled his eyes: "Like you said, there’s nothing trustworthy in this hunting ground... I can only choose to trust my classmates."

"Besides, there’s Matthew!" Zheng Qing turned his head, looked at his classmate, and smiled: "If a dependable aristocrat like Matthew can’t be trusted, I really don’t know what else could be trusted."

No matter what, a bit of flattery can’t go wrong.

This is an unbreakable truth.

Even a vexed Matthew, in face of Zheng Qing’s praise and unreserved trust, couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and his expression softened a lot.

"What about you?" Elena suddenly asked: "We take the spoils to find others, then what about you?"

"Me?" Zheng Qing rubbed his head again and glanced back at the black cat lying in the shade of a tree. He shrugged helplessly: "With such a ’big sir’ following me, I really don’t dare to meet everyone. But you don’t have to worry, based on previous situations, this big cat is quite dependable... at least I won’t be surrounded by wild demons."

Having said that, he laughed again.

People in the Karen Hunting Team either worried, inquired, or were restless. Various looks gathered on the young male witch. For a moment, it seemed that everyone had lost interest in arguing and the scene quickly quieted down.
