Chapter 1267

Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Spirit Monarch Lion Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Spirit Monarch Lion But just then, the team leader on the side said indifferently, “Ged Shepherd, have you completely forgotten the principles of the Hunters?”

“No matter how dangerous this task is, we cannot refuse the Hunters.”

Ged Shepherd retorted angrily, “Fine, I'll take responsibility for this! I don't want to see anyone risking their lives recklessly again!”

With that, Ged Shepherd was about to tear up the order.

This undoubtedly infuriated the team leader.

He grabbed Ged Shepherd's wrist and said coldly, “Ged Shepherd, have you gone insane?”

“What if I have? At most, I'll just leave,” Ged Shepherd responded with a chilly tone.

Their gazes clashed, sparking a chilling glow.

Both of them were ready to ignite a Great Battle at any moment.

Ethan Smith gave a light cough, reaching out to grasp the order in his hand.

“Big brother Ged, thanks for your kindness, but… I should take this order,” Ethan Smith said with a smile.

Ged Shepherd burst out angrily, “You…! New guy, let me tell you, if you die, no one will collect your corpse!”

Ethan Smith smiled and reassured him, “Don't worry, I am confident.”

Ged Shepherd wore a complex expression filled with both anger and regret.

But Ethan Smith had already taken the order, and he was helpless.

“Scott Elliott, let's go, you lead the way,” Ethan Smith turned to Scott Elliott.

Scott Elliott grunted in response, guiding Ethan Smith towards the Azure Rock Forest.

On the way, Scott Elliott said solemnly, “Ethan Smith, you're too arrogant. Ged Shepherd is right, many people have already died because of this order.”

Ethan Smith smiled and said, “To prevent more people from losing their lives, it's best to leave it to me.”

Seeing this, Scott Elliott could not help but sigh deep down.

He had been with the Hunters for many years and seen countless newcomers.

Each of these newcomers was arrogant, but in the end, they all paid the heavy price, so Scott Elliott was not surprised.

“Hopefully, there will be a chance to save his life,” Scott Elliot privately wished.

“Scott, isn't the Hunters a voluntary organization? Why is there a team leader?” Ethan Smith asked doubtfully.

Scott grunted and said, “Anywhere, as long as there are many people, there will inevitably be an organization, this is unavoidable.”

Ethan Smith nodded slightly, acknowledging that this was indeed the truth.

“Does this team leader have a lot of power?” Ethan Smith asked.

Scott paused for a moment before replying, “Hard to say, but he has quite a reputation among the Hunters.”

Ethan Smith muttered, “I think Ged is more suited. He might seem cold, but he always considers the Hunters.”

“Exactly.” Scott agreed with Ethan's point of view.

He said, “While Ged may have a sharp tongue, he's got a heart of gold, very responsible young man.”

“Indeed, I'm just a newcomer, yet he tried to prevent me from taking this order, to save my life.” Ethan Smith murmured casually with his hands behind his head.

Scott rolled his eyes, “Too bad it's useless, newcomers never listen.”

Ethan Smith laughed but didn't explain any further.

The Demonic Beast named in this task is the Spirit Monarch Lion, an extremely formidable Demonic Beast.

But apart from the name, there is no other information on the order.

“Scott, could you tell me about the characteristics of this Spirit Monarch Lion?” Ethan Smith asked.

Scott replied solemnly, “The most significant characteristic of the Spirit Monarch Lion is its thick skin and flesh. We've tried all kinds of methods, but we can't seriously injure it.”

“Plus, its sharp teeth can easily shred a small mountain. Its powerful aura repels other Demonic Beasts, establishing its territory.”

Ethan Smith nodded slightly, muttering under his breath, “Well, as long as it's not a speed type, it's fine.”

As far as Ethan Smith was concerned, his biggest fear was opponents who were swift.

Because Ethan Smith doesn't have spiritual power, he lacks a bit in speed, making it easier for his opponents to escape.

As for its thick skin and flesh, Ethan Smith was not very concerned.

With his iron fists capable of annihilating anything in their path, nothing could withstand his strength.

More importantly, Ethan Smith also had an iron rod.

Although Ethan Smith wasn't aware of the rod's origin, it was undoubtedly a powerful weapon.

After a long journey through the Azure Rock Forest, they could occasionally hear the roar of Demonic Beasts.

“Scott, do you think this Spirit Monarch Lion might have a Life Aura inside it?” Ethan Smith asked curiously.

Scott shook his head and said, “No one knows for certain.”

“Alright.” Ethan Smith nodded.

It seems that getting a Life Aura from a Demonic Beast still requires a bit of luck.

Just then, Scott's pace gradually slowed down.

He halted and whispered, “We're nearing the Spirit Monarch Lion's territory.”

Ethan Smith quickly said, “Scott, wait for me outside to avoid any accidents.”

Scott gave Ethan Smith a glance, saying, “You're quite confident, young man, but overconfidence isn't a good thing.”

Ethan Smith responded with a bitter smile, “Scott, don't worry, I have a secret technique for preserving my life.”

Even though he said so, Scott still followed behind Ethan Smith, slowly entering the Spirit Monarch Lion's territory.

The instant he stepped in, Ethan Smith sensed an anomaly in the surroundings.

Along the journey, the ambient noises had been quite noisy, with the roars and cries of Demonic Beasts from time to time.

But here, it was extremely silent.

Apart from the rustling of leaves, no other noises could be heard.

“The Spirit Monarch Lion's territorial sense is intense, be careful and stay close behind me,” Scott warned with a vigilant look on his face.

Ethan Smith remained silent, he took a deep breath, trying to sense the aura of the Spirit Monarch Lion.

“Here it comes!”

Just then, Scott suddenly shouted!

Ethan Smith had felt no aura at all, yet the Spirit Monarch Lion had already appeared behind him!

“Watch out!” Scott yelled in shock, rushing desperately towards Ethan Smith.

But it was too late. The enormous paw of the Spirit Monarch Lion landed on Ethan Smith with the potential of cracking mountains and shattering seas!
