My Last Hunt

Quest For Three Stones (8)

Opus;

Unwanted? 

The monster was not willing to bother them and run away because it was about to reach the peak of level five where the years of effort would bring some benefits. All the absorbed stones and the energy was residing in the body and its inborn stone would be able to settle with this energy at the peak of level five then the monster would become stronger enough to even fight with level seven hunter and defeat. This was the specification of this race. 

These monsters work hard to collect enough stones from other monsters and then appear as the unstoppable.

This team was struggling to stop every path of retreat for this monster but the monster ran into the barrier and the team also ended up following behind. 

There was a sudden commotion in the wilderness and the huntress was disturbed by this commotion. She woke up and looked toward the chaos then toward Qiao who was equally alarmed. Both Qiao and Wuza were talking and did not notice about the dust scattering. The team and the monster that suddenly saw the difference of surrounding were flabbergasted just like the residents. 

"Who did this bloodshed and slaughtering?" One of the team members could not keep the dazed for long. It was a threat for everyone because no one spotted Qiao or the blood hunter. It seemed some wild and strong monster slaughtered these monsters ruthlessly out of whim and now was hiding to target them too. "I don't know but if it is a hunter then he must be insane." Other sounded stunned and unable to twig the situation. 

"Should we leave?" a huntress asked. They were supposed to hunt not become the target so they cannot take risk in the condition presented in front of them. "I am not sure if the one who did this slaughter is still here or left and also which part of the forest is this?" The leader finally spoke and brought two questions to consider first. 

If the monster or the hunter has already left then there was no use leaving their present hunt and run away just because of threat. And this part of the forest was also unseen before. They should at least confirm where they were at this moment. Qiao could clearly hear their conversation and shook his head. In their eyes; he was insane, what other blunt compliment he could expect from them. 

"Shall I go and tell them who is insane?" Wuza asked in low tone. "There is no need." Qiao waved his hand. He was not willing to bother them because he was resting for some time. He was truly tired. Moreover the monster and the team were at the other side of the endless numbers of dead monsters.  The huntress who was at the far end stood up to hear their conversation and all their attention fixated on her.

"What? This huntress slaughtered these so many monsters?" Someone shouted dubious about the possibility of her being the one who hunted. "Shut up; how can this low level bitch hunt them all?" a huntress from the team scrutinized the girl and refuted immediately. She was in the team despite being level five then how can a level lower singlehandedly slaughter; it was not a joke. 

The huntress who was disturbed by this commotion heard the other huntress badmouth about her. "Who did you call bitch? You whore." She shouted from afar. Lowa was insulted by the so-called senior level and she wanted to tear apart the huntress who called her bitch. If she was senior so be it; why should she insult her for nothing? 

"I am called Lowa you whore." She was running as if going to really do what running in her head. Qiao shook his head and stood up finally, "Lowa: is there a need to get hype for nothing?" He interrupted just to tell the team that the girl was not alone there; after him Wuza stood up. "Indeed little Lowa; you should not get angry for something petty. Of course you would not like to be called a petty too." He snickered intentionally. 

Lowa heard both and stood speechless thinking, 'Does this man need to interrupt her with his stone of charm and tone?' but she nodded as if cannot deny Qiao and return toward him. The team who saw the hunter coming in view one by one was agape. So it turned out that it was not some monster but hunter to do the slaughter. 

"Ah, this bitch has given up. How obedient slut?" the huntress again badmouth and Lowa could not keep it anymore. Qiao was also speechless at this remark while Wuza was asking what it stands for. "I will tell you later first stop the little girl." There was much distance already between them and Lowa might reach near the team in ignorance. 

The team was bigger and from their conversation he could tell that they would go against them in no time thinking them as the opponents. It was bound to turn this way so it could be dangerous for Lowa to reach their team. "As you wish!" Wuza spoke and fled like wind. Qiao has not comprehended this level of agility and pace so it was better for Wuza to stop the girl. Wuza reached and grabbed the madly rushing girl and returned the same way. First Lowa was shocked and then traumatized. And when she opened her eyes she was brought in front of the young man.

"Why did you do this? I would have gone to tell the whore how to badmouth." She was still fuming. She swore that she would never let go any huntress who tried to insult her just because of being senior in level. 

"If you really wanted to attack then first learn how to attack. And when to attack especially since you are not strong enough." Qiao reminded politely. Lowa gritted her teeth and shook her head away; this young man was again influencing her decision by looking in her eyes.
