Chapter 11 Hunting
The moon was hazy, shrouded in darkness, and Sean and his group stood behind a hill and quietly watched the lively scene not far away.
The fire was shining, gunshots, explosions, and shouts were heard. After a while, the ground shook, and seven blood-hoofed beasts, three large, four small, and driven by the hunting group, roared from the distance and rushed towards the trap not far away.
"Brother, you still have a way."
On horseback, Green showed a big smile, while his eldest brother Gray, the leader of the brother hunting group, had a serious face.
"Green, don't be too happy, things haven't been settled yet."
"Brother, I listen to you."
Hearing Gray's words, Green immediately suppressed the smile on his face. The two brothers had lost their parents since childhood and depended on each other for life. They had been thieves, gangs, and mercenaries. He had always obeyed his eldest brother's words.
On the hills, watching the hunting group's actions by the light of the fire, Sean realized that he had really underestimated this hunting group before, but he did not expect that they had taken full advantage of the bloodhoofed beast's docile or timid characteristics.
As extraordinary creatures, bloodhoof beasts have a gentle nature and are naturally afraid of loud noises and fires. However, even with this, it is not easy to successfully drive the bloodhoof beasts into a trap.
The ground roared, and the bloodhoofed beasts ran at great speed. Only seven of them managed to escape with the momentum of a knightly charge. Who would have thought that they were running for their lives just by looking at the surface?
With a snap, branches broke, dust flew, and the leading blood-hoofed beast with four hoofs as red as blood plunged into the pit, while the blood-hoofed beasts behind it panicked for a moment and it was too late to stop, one by one. All fell into the trap.
Seeing the blood hoof beasts ensnared, the hunting group who had been prepared quickly gathered around. First, they dropped several large hunting nets into the pit to interfere with the blood hoof beasts' movements, and then lifted up a fence made of several logs to cover it. After landing on the pit, the Bloodhoof beast herd was completely trapped in the trap, and it would be difficult for them to stand up again.
Cheers rang out, and even Scarface Gray, who had always been sullen, relaxed, and it was at this time that Green quietly came to his side.
"Brother, do we really give that guy another 50 gold galleons? That's not a small amount of money."
As he spoke, Green glanced at the lonely figure in the distance who was incompatible with the brothers' hunting group.
After hearing Green's words, Gray's rough face showed a look of contemplation. After a while, he shook his head and said:
"Give it to him. There is no need to ruin the reputation of our hunting group. Of course, the most important thing is that as a veteran transcendent, he may have some trump cards that we don't know about. If we can't kill him with a stick, we will It’s possible that we’re going to be in big trouble.”
Only by becoming a transcendent can you better understand the power of a transcendent. In fact, a first-level transcendent does not have much advantage when facing an opponent holding a rifle. He will still be injured and die if he is hit, but this means facing him head-on. Under such circumstances, if extraordinary people are given a chance, they can completely solve the problem by attacking and killing, and this is especially true for a veteran hunter who is good at tracking and setting traps.
Of course, Gray had another idea in his mind, which was to summon the old hunter Senkris into his hunting group. Through this cooperation, he fully felt the strength of this old hunter. Without him, they would not be able to do anything at all. It is possible to accurately find the traces of the Bloodhoof herd, but it is also impossible to discover the weakness of the Bloodhoof herd and lay a suitable trap.
To be honest, the current results have completely exceeded Gray's expectations. Before that, he only wanted to capture one or two more mutated brown bison in exchange for a potion for his younger brother Green. He never thought of taking the entire herd into his pocket. , after all, the previous capture of the brown buffalo had made them fully aware of the ferocity of this creature. It was a bloody lesson. It was precisely because of this that he agreed to Senkris' employment conditions in the first place. Regardless of success or failure, he would pay 10 gold in advance. Galleons. If you successfully capture the herd, you will pay another 50 gold galleons.
Now it seems that he made a mistake and was made a huge profit by Senkris. Of course, he did not suffer a loss. Although Senkris made a profit, he made even more.
Under the light of the fire, everyone in the brother hunting group was smiling. Many people had already begun to think about how to relax. It might be a good choice to drink a few large glasses of rye before asking the accompanying girl for advice. Under such circumstances, I didn't even notice the vague figure in the darkness.
Sneaking in the dark, the troops dispersed silently, forming a loose encirclement of the brother hunting group.
After the circle was formed, Sean felt the wind direction and adjusted his position.
Spirituality rose, and dense dark red light spots appeared around Sean, then quickly dimmed, merged with the night, and disappeared.
"Congratulations Senkris you are going to get a lot of money."
"No, congratulations to us, Captain Gray."
Looking at the two Greglin brothers walking over from a distance, a smile appeared on Senkris' dry face, but judging from his tight body, he had not relaxed his vigilance.
As a lone hunter, Senkris's ability to live peacefully until now is naturally unique in his own way, and his extremely high level of vigilance is one of the most important points.
"Sencris, I would like to invite you to join our brother hunting group. Of course, I will give you the position of deputy leader. Your status will only be below mine. I believe this will be a good choice for you and me."
After speaking, Gray's eyes fell on Senkris, observing his reaction.
Senkris fell into silence after hearing what Gray said. To be honest, the conditions given by Gray were okay, but Senkris was not moved at all. After all, Gray was not the first person to recruit him. What he was thinking about now was how to reject Gray and what he would do if Gray turned against him after rejecting him, but at this moment a shout interrupted his thinking and solved his dilemma.
"who?"
As the distance continued to shorten, someone in the brother hunting group finally discovered something was wrong.
When he heard the warning from his men, Gray's expression changed, he quickly reacted, ignored Senkris and quickly walked towards the direction of the sound.
"Everyone on alert."
The calm and powerful voice quickly calmed down the brothers' hunting group who were still a little confused.
The torches were lit. Now that they had been discovered, Sean and his group no longer covered up their whereabouts. In other words, it was pointless to cover up their whereabouts after what they had to do.
After seeing the surrounding scene clearly, the expression on Gray's face remained unchanged, but his heart slowly sank. Unknowingly, they were surrounded. Although they seemed to be small in number, they were well-equipped. Well-trained, he spent a lot of money to get five Lester single-shot rifles from the black market, but almost everyone had one. And this was just what he saw. There might be more rifles aimed at him in the dark. here.
