My Last Hunt

Quest For Three Stones (11)

Opus;

Loss your team or decide other way 

The team leader saw the huntress unable to face the girl and shook his head. He could not believe that a little girl was heavy to deal for the learned huntress. The other hunter was already some weirdo who was talking as if he was doing everything for the sake of good. He then turned to see how the remaining team members were confronting the monster. 

One of them was put flat on the ground and waiting for help. Rests of them were trying to set the trap. "Let's see who will get it." The team leader waved his hand and stepped aside. He was going to help his team to get most of it and see what these two can get at the end. Wuza was amazed at this decision of the hunter. He looked toward Qiao and he shrugged his shoulders. 

In his eyes it was good decision as long as he has no underhanded motif. Lowa saw them agreeing and stood at some distance; she was not going to take part in this. Those hunting the monster were busy right now. The trap was set and then all of them started to pull it to throw the monster on the ground. 

It was difficult but not impossible. The team was dragging their feet against and using all strength. Qiao gestured Wuza to help them and he himself went to put an attack at the vital part of the monster. Wuza followed his gesture and joined them. Until now the monster was not ready to budge an inch but as soon as he joined them; the monster staggered. It was a sign that his presence meant much. The team members saw the team leader confused whether he patched with the other team. 

Twenty feet was much distance for Qiao with a single tap of the feet and he could only reach halfway of the monster. As soon as the sword stabbed in the skin, the monster lost the balance and fell with an extreme thudding voice. Barely the team rushed back to avoid the huge body fell on them. The repercussion resounded under the barrier and then the team leader noticed the real difference of this place and the forest outside. "Hell, this is damned place. Who did trigger such stone?" He looked toward both strange hunters and felt a chill run down his bones. One of them speaks as if he was not afraid of anything and the other act out of whim. The girl was still mysterious. 

Now he was clear that these three would definitely snatch the hunt. Why he let them to hunt because he was sure that they would be as helpless as his team but to see the change in the current situation. He was regretting on his decision but what else he was supposed to do. The monster fell on the ground and hunters leapt with all types of weapons. Qiao was only observing now where he could find the stone. Wasting energy on injuring the monster can be done by others. 

Many weapon stabbed in the big body and the monster started struggling again. It waved the front legs and the one who was only focusing on to attack was thrown away. The others jumped around like flies and again came for another attack. This triggered the monster and those absorbed stone's energy which was residing inside the body started to emit out. These stones have various types of armors hidden inside. The one who first faced the energy of the stones instantly burned away. The others started mad run to avoid the light coming from the monster. 

The monster intentionally used this energy of the special stone to let the other decide whether they still wanted to bother or go back. When the other hunters saw this; they got frightened. Qiao clearly saw the source of the energy; it was right in the belly part. Very critical places to stab the sword because four huge and strong legs were protecting the belly three of the hunters were seriously injured from this team and the leader was agog to think anything. The armor energy was strong because the monster decided to get these hunters at any cost. 

"Now this is something great." Wuza was the one and only excited to see the seeping energy. When he hunted with his elders; he never happened to see such a sight because the blood hunters directly latch to imbibe the blood which was disadvantage for the monsters and they were left defenseless from the very beginning. "It is indeed distinctive from other monsters." Qiao was also amazed. Whenever he met a new monster; he always commended the unique characteristics and natural armors and it also make him think what more wonders were waiting in the world of hunting. 

"But it is dangerous too. Be careful everyone." He forced every word for all of them whoever was under the range of the attack. "Everyone listen to this hunter." The team leader who has thrown his sword because it was molded and was useless now spoke to see how the young hunter was avoiding the attacks of the monster. Monster would attack every potential hunter who it take as threat and kill at best when it originates for the attack mood leaving not a single threat for later. For this certain monster; it was not easy to sacrifice the energy of the stones which it gathered after much toil but to be left at the mercy of these hunters was not wise choice so it was ready after much deliberation to detriment a little part of the stowing. 

Qiao was avoiding successfully until now from the attacks and trying his best to reach his aimed position without getting hurt least. His first priority was to get the stone then see if this monster will die too. In his previous experience as soon as he got the stone; the monster lost life. As for this one; he was yet to test it; if this one also died then he could comprehend that the monsters were nothing without these stones and can no more persist alive after dropping stone.
