My Last Hunt

Quest For Three Stones (9)

Opus; 

I will Insult you differently

Now they were fully alert. The team knew that there were some seriously strong hunters at the other side. Qiao wanted this expression to cast on them so that they remain to their place better not bother and get some injuries in return. 

"If you are not interested then leave the place for us." The team leader saw this situation and understood that the hunter wanted to remain neutral. Qiao sneered; "I am not supposed to leave it at my will or yours." He could not believe that this team leader was a jerk to jump in the coals. It was impossible for him to leave the barrier and he was ordering him otherwise. 

"What should I take it then?" the team leader puffed up his chest and rallied thinking that perhaps the other side wanted to openly snatch their hunt. "If you want to seek trouble then think the way you want." Qiao spoke determined. He was not actually neutral in this matter as long as someone wanted to look for him.

"Brother Qiao: are we neutral in this hunt?" Wuza asked to elucidate the summary of ongoing talk. "Wuza; keep in mind neutral is a coward, either you are good or bad there is no way between." Qiao spoke while maintaining his stern looks. 

From his looks anyone can take him as easy target; he was young and gentle from the looks which can spoil his stiff behavior. He only needed to confirm whether the monster bears any desired stone if yes then he would not show his good side. The huntress heard and felt that perhaps the young man was only trying to maintain his image as the hunter else against a big team; what strength he could show. 

The team at the other side was now in dilemma whether to consider this hunter as the opponent since he has a really strong hunter with him. They were unable to discern the level of the other hunter who fled like wind in front of their eyes and they have not much information whether a low level hunter can wield such skill. 

Wuza was a blood hunter and not many were familiar with blood hunter tribes because they remain in dark most of the time; especially when their ancestors have faced the retribution of the respected Hunter Monarch. "No matter what; we cannot abandon our hunt for the fear of two hunters. Don't forget we are large in numbers." The team leader angrily voiced to tell his team to start the hunt. 

He himself would keep an eye at the opponents. Qiao was looking at the monster whether to test it or not. Then he looked toward number of dead bodies on the ground and shook his head. There was no use testing again. "I am not sure why you still silent when the desired monster is right in front." Lowa snickered. At least she cannot waste this chance to mock this young man. 

From the first appearance she knew that this monster bear Opus still she choose to wait to observe what he would decide in the end. But to see how peace-head he was; she was speechless. She wanted to use her sword against that huntress who insulted her and this young man stopped her now she would see whether after knowing this; would he still remain silent? 

"Are you sure?" Qiao suddenly jolted to hear this. He grabbed her little chin with his hand to make sure that she was not mendacious to equal some score against the huntress and using this excuse. "What do you take me as? Go and see it yourself." She shook away his hand angrily. He was so much unpredictable. Just a moment ago he was very calm and at the mention of the stone how aggressive. 'I will crush your charm stone as well you once I had a chance' she angrily shouted in her head.

Qiao was now looking toward the monster. The only size was unusual and nothing else. "I don't know whether to thank them or just snatch it but is definitely going troublesome." The team was big and they have already listed him as the enemy in their minds. "It seems today I will choose to be bad." He laughed dryly. 

Wuza heard and laughed as well, "Brother there is nothing bad as long as you are obliged to do for the sake of someone else." He was pointing at the fact that he was willing to follow no matter if they have to face this big team. Qiao nodded because he was doing it for someone else too. Now they were moving toward the team and the monster. 

Lowa was following behind. "You should not come along." Qiao warned her. Those! The opponent all the team members were level five minimum so it can be dangerous for her. "I am not a pun for everyone to joke about, I wanted to test my sword against that whore and I would not listen you this time." She seriously glared in his eyes this time to fend off the charm of the stone. 

"Alright; no need to get all-out at me; let me see if you really could revenge or not." Qiao cannot stop her all the time. He was only little concerned because she gave him enough information which was wonderful as well as helpful. He might not have known to the characteristics of the stones without her help. 

…

"See! They are coming to us. Now it is more than of a battle between opponents or snatchers. My sword will decide whom should the hunt go?" he waved his sword to see them umping from the dead bodies of the monsters.

Wuza wanted to clear a path for them but Qiao stopped saying that jumping would help them in boasting the strength. The huntress who insulted the girl also saw the glint in her eyes and her attention got fixed at her. It was rare for someone to show robust nature in return of a common day insult.
