Chapter 54: Chapter 53 Hunting BeastsDeep in the Yuewu Mountain, tall trees flourished, and underneath the shade where people scarcely passed by all year long, there was the smell of decaying leaves. "We’ve been walking for so long, why haven’t we seen the Mutated Demon Beast yet?" Huang Lingling and several Bounty Hunters had been walking along, and as they gradually entered deeper into the mountain, the sunlight faded, and everything turned eerie. Huang Lingling felt more and more uneasy. "We’re close now, that Mutated Demon Beast is cunning, certainly hiding in the deepest part of the mountains. Little girl, did you say you came from the Eastern Capital?" These hunters had been trying to extract information from Huang Lingling during the walk. The little girl seemed naive, but whenever they asked about her family, she would clamp her mouth shut tight, like a clam. Gradually, the hunters lost their patience. They led Huang Lingling to a secluded spot and stopped. "What are you doing?" Huang Lingling became alert, and she drew her Magic Wand. "What? Little girl, you think you can hunt a Mutated Demon Beast? Stop dreaming. Besides, that Mutated Demon Beast isn’t even a Wind and Thunder Dual Element type. Just hand over whatever valuables you have, listen to us, and write a letter to your family," the bald hunter revealed their true intentions with a malicious grin as they pounced on Huang Lingling like hawks on a chick. A purple streak of Thunder scorned right beneath the bald hunter. "Damn Magician," the bald hunter, being a Great Martial Master, was skillful with his hands, and dodged the purple Thunder swiftly. Little did they know, Huang Lingling seized the opportunity and applied a Wind Light Body Technique. With quick steps like a nimble beast, she darted into the trees. They were now deep in the Yuewu Mountain where the terrain was uneven and filled with ancient tree roots and branches everywhere, making it easy to trip. This terrain was perfect for dodging and hiding. Relying on her light body and the aid of Wind Magic, Huang Lingling managed to elude the five hunters momentarily. "Damn girl, seeking your own death," the female warrior yelled as she took off her longbow. Her eyes filled with hostility, her hands pulling and releasing the bowstring, and the sharp, cold-gleaming arrow shot through the woods. Huang Lingling only heard the sound of arrows behind her, and in her panic, she tried to use Wind Magic to dodge, but after repeatedly using her Magic Power, she was too weak and only managed to push the arrow a few inches away. The sharp arrowhead pierced her shoulder, she cried out in pain, and fell to the ground, her Magic Wand rolling away. The warriors adeptly moved past the bushes and stood before her. Huang Lingling desperately grabbed for her Magic Wand. The bald warrior stomped on her wrist, spat on her, and snapped, "Let you run, brat, aren’t you going to speak? Which family do you belong to exactly?" The bald warrior’s weight was no less than 200 kilograms, pressing down on Huang Lingling’s wrist, making her feel like it was going to break. Huang Lingling swallowed her cries and stubbornly refused to answer. "Still being tough-mouthed, chop off one of her hands first. Once we send her hand and the letter back, her family will certainly send money," the hunters suggested, laughing sinisterly. Not far away in the bushes, Yun Sheng and Little Black were hiding nearby. Seeing that Huang Lingling refused to beg for mercy even at death’s door, Yun Sheng started to look at her in a new light. Although she was somewhat arrogant, she indeed had a tough spirit. The enemies numbered five, among them, the woman carrying the longbow was the weakest, and the bald hunter was the strongest, most likely at the Peak of Great Martial Master. Yun Sheng estimated the odds in his mind of being able to save Huang Lingling. Just then, Little Black in Yun Sheng’s arms stirred. Its black fur bristled, and it arched its short legs, baring its teeth towards the distance. "Boss, did you hear something?" The warriors were just about to chop off Huang Lingling’s hand when a rustling noise came from behind. Turning around, the five of them caught a glimpse of something shocking. A few hundred meters away from them stood a beast shaped like a bison but enveloped in electric light. Its size was twice as big as the Golden Rhinoceros Pig Yun Sheng had seen before, looking like a moving small fortress. It had the head of a bull, yet possessed a body as robust as a male lion’s, and underneath its belly, there was a patch of poison spots giving off a foul odor, with the injury continuously spreading. That area must have been poisoned earlier by other Bounty Hunters. "It’s a Wanted Magical Beast!" It turns out the Bounty Hunters had unknowingly wandered into the territory of this Wanted Magical Beast. A few days ago, wounded by the venom from "Scorpion Tail", this big fellow called Fire Lion had been hiding deep in the mountains. Demon Beasts crave blood, and just now, an arrow from Huang Lingling drew it out because of the smell of blood. "No need to panic, it’s severely injured. Lao Wu, you stay back to watch this little girl. Number Two, Three, and Four, let’s go together," the bald hunter decided immediately to kill this Wanted Magical Beast. It was a rare opportunity. If they were lucky, their "Green Wolf" hunters could become famous in one battle. All the martial masters released their fighting spirits. The bald hunter took the lead; he leaped high with a chilling dagger in his hand. The other three hunters also brandished their weapons, surrounding the injured Demon Beast from four directions. The Fire Lion Bull roared angrily, spewing a burst of fierce flames from its mouth. A Fifth Rank Magical Beast, even heavily injured, was no small foe in battle. Huang Lingling was injured, blood streaming down her back, and as time passed, she felt increasingly cold. Suddenly, the female hunter beside her emitted a series of short cries, and then suddenly fell to the ground, rigid. Right after, Huang Lingling felt an icy sensation on her back, as if someone poured Hemostatic Agent over her. The effect of the Hemostatic Agent was surprisingly good; the blood stopped the moment it was applied. "Lucky it didn’t hit your heart, you have a large life," Yun Sheng’s voice hovered behind her. "It’s you! I don’t want your help!" Huang Lingling couldn’t believe that Yun Sheng was the one who saved her! "Help—boss, help me!" A miserable cry for help made both of them look forward. In front of them, everything was blood-red. Yun Sheng and Huang Lingling saw with their own eyes a hunter being torn into half by the Fire Lion Bull. The other three hunters were terrified. They had not expected that the heavily wounded Fire Lion Bull would exhibit even more ferocious fighting spirit than usual. "Run, run fast," Yun Sheng dared not look any longer, lifted Huang Lingling, who was stupefied by shock, planning to escape. Behind them came two more screams of agony, surely another two hunters were killed. A Class C Wanted Magical Beast, truly lived up to its reputation. "You two! Don’t even think about running!" the only remaining bald hunter saw the ferociously unbeatable Fire Lion Bull, knowing he was no match, looked around, and spotted Yun Sheng and Huang Lingling trying to flee. Using these two girls as a scapegoat. Malice gleamed in the eyes of the bald hunter as he quickly pursued them, reaching one hand towards Yun Sheng and the other towards Huang Lingling.
