My Last Hunt

Quest For Three Stones (41)

Bagel;

Wuza again got busy in dragging the carcasses of the monsters out of the barrier. He was very excited for the third stone as well as his forthcoming journey toward the Hightown. Qiao sat near the huntress. Until now whatsoever information she gave out of whim was helpful in every way but because of her nasty nature; she restrained herself or perhaps she was too occupied with chaotic thoughts to bother her brain for authentic way of choosing monsters out of many choices as to which one could be closer to the genuine mark and breeds the desired stone. Qiao was sure Lowa could help. 

Her mother was higher level huntress and must have been source of beneficial tidbits of information but the pity that Lowa bore little irresponsible nature. Keeping the same passage and the struggle would only result in delay and they would be facing the number of monsters until they were fortunate to meet the desired one. "Lowa; I was wondering if there is a way to know which of the certain monster could bear the bagel?" he sat nearby her not facing to her but close enough so that she could hear him. 

Lowa thought that perhaps he would go away after asking about her condition but the coming voice was close so she turned to see. She has no problem with his voice or with his presence because he was completely different from other hunters who definitely sneak when a huntress happened to be in bad condition. And this was the biggest problem actually and it forced her to stay and know about him. Who he was? Which part of the world and which continent he belonged to? Why he was different from others? And similar several questions caused her heart to throb. 

"There is the whole sorting of the monsters and their classes but it is such vast knowledge for me to digest and keep remember. The truth is that my mother was never able to learn about the fourth half of the all types of monsters. And if you wanted to learn about half of the monsters; you should at least spend few hundred years wandering in the various parts of the seven continents and I am sure few more lives needed to end this job. So practically I (A nobody in the world of hunting) am not suitable for you to ask this question." Lowa waved her hand in the air here and there just to explain nothing.

Qiao frowned to hear the whole thing. He thought that perhaps she would conclude with a solution but she kept her signature tangled ways. Taking deep breath Qiao rummaged as to how he should question for her to remember something valuable as a hint to follow. "What are few of the monsters who could be dangerous during level five hunting?" Qiao organized his thoughts and asked the most normal and plain question. It was similar to like a hit lesson which her mother must have taught her by heart. 

"Ah; you reminded of bad day. When I was first brought here by a monster; my mother warned me to not face it the team was trustable and stronger. I thought the team would not show shamelessness at any point of hunting but they did. What a shame for them. They left me at the mercy of the monster and ran away as if they were always Runners*" (Runners is a lowest and worst class of hunters who always leave their hunt at any time and coward) (one must remember that every hunt can turn life threatening and hostile so leaving as it is can be taken as the coward act).

"All the level five monsters with the red glow in the middle of the head can be fatal for level five hunters and they unexpectedly despise the equal strength human opponents." This was normal strict lesson which her mother taught her. Her mother knew very well that level five was critical level to cross as well as keep the body intact from fatal attacks. It was bad luck that Lowa did not get fatal attack from a monster but human. 

"What is the reason behind red glow?" Qiao curiously asked. It picked his interest. The previous blabbering was not helpful; how he was supposed to cherish few hundred years to know about the monsters and their classes? He only needed the specific information to save the time. Time was important. Every passing minute and hour was important for his life and the life of his sibling. If he wasted this precious time on the needless information then he would be burning away his own life and the life of his younger one. This world has sea of wonders and plenty of unmapped grounds waiting for the hunters to set foot there but he was out of time. 

Moreover his aim was to get the strength and level up in the minimum time possible though the wonders were exhilarating but he was not ready to walk a path of politics when he was interested in learning science path. All the subjects has different worlds in them and he would astray not getting the complete one. He sure would like to invest few hundred years if he gets back to this world after defeating the wicked hunter. But for now the route was picked already. 

"Hm; the red glow means they are rare monsters and they would be unmatchable in the future. It also means that they bear intellect and they remember the enmity between the humans and the monsters that they are waiting for a right time to come when some rare and strongest monster would lead them for stronghold in the world and they would be able to revenge by killing half of the humans from the face of the world. Those rare monsters when happened to face a human with level five; they bet everything to kill the human no matter what consequences lay in front after that." Lowa was speaking with all the flow of eloquence. 

She could become the best orator to instill unnecessary fear among the humans to lose the willpower to fight against the monsters. "I was asking does the red glow is always apparent or it needed some special efficiency to notice?" Qiao explained what he wanted to know. He was just beading the question in hope to get a hint nothing else. From her oration; he was able to know that rare type monsters were still on the go to bring down the humans rule. 

"Not specific; as long as the team of hunters kept reluctant to leave and hunt, the red glow would appear subsequently. Alright I remember: those who bear special stones are always arrogant and egoistic and they are the one who dream to rule the world of humans." Lowa patted her forehead and told. The normal monsters always back down and find a way to flee while the egoistic monsters would go every extent to kill the humans. Qiao heard and stood up. He perhaps found the answer or what he was looking for. Though the huntress debating over various important things and mumbling what her mother told; yet Qiao can guide Wuza as to which monster he could harness after making a right choice. 

There were not many rare monsters always wandering because rare one hide and cultivate to become stronger nonetheless when they encounter humans they go on rampage. Their reluctance was the biggest gesture about their hidden characteristics. Wuza almost dragged half of the carcasses out of the barrier and stopped to rest. He was sweating just like a normal human. His job was not easy. 

"You should rest; let the rest of monsters rot here. When you go to harness the monster; carefully observe the monster first if it is easygoing or carefree then you should not harness it. Wait for the right one for example a crooked one." Qiao tried his best to guide the blood hunter. Wuza looked blankly then nodded. It means now he would not harness the monsters recklessly but thoughtfully. "Brother Hunter must have thought about it so I would just follow simply." He stood up to leave the barrier and search the specific ill-temper monster. The forest outside was vast yet most of the monsters were just like normal one. 

"I guess this one or that one? It would be impossible without triggering to know the temper? Alright; I am coming your way." Wuza ran toward a direction which was comparable silent. Silence meant that some irksome monster must be there soothing its boiled temper and the other monster were worried to trigger. Qiao hoped that this gesture could help in getting the right monster. He looked behind where the huntress was sitting and shook his head. He forgot to ask how long her wound would be healed. Knowing minimum time would be better especially if he got the third stone earlier.
