My Last Hunt

Journey (14)

Lost Ventures has marked the target 

The human come monster reached back the underground hideout. It was buzzing some noise and jumping like a monster with four legs. Living in the Vaga Hillocks for long made them learn these kinds of feats leaving the human traits far behind. There were limited numbers of Lost Ventures in the Vaga Hillocks yet they work collaborative most of the time. This two brain lost venture happened to taste the smell of the huntress and it was easy to search her even if she hide somewhere. The lost venture was crating buzzing sounds to get the attention of the others. 

"A…ii..m" the resonating voice was extremely hitting for the normal hearing; it gave the impression of worst symphony ringing with the sound of iron bells. The second lost venture moved it huge head because the word spoken meant that the lost venture spotted a target recently but the target was strong so he came to get the help. One of the shoulders of this lost venture was tipped with a log and he seemed not care about it. His whole body was white like a sleepwalker woke up from the grimes. These lost ventures did not care what type of circumstances or the weather harmed their bodies; they only care pleasing their Reaper. The Reaper was the boss of all the Lost Ventures and they dared not to displease him. 

It was because of that they never appear in the broad daylight. They kept their identity hidden until now. It was because that they were sure once the Hightown came to know the reality behind their existence; they will be killed and destroyed before the word spread. Their existence was beyond threat and no one can explain what kind of repercussion it could create once the seven continents find out. One must remember that there were not only the monsters as the competitor's against the human population but the beasts. The beasts would never leave a chance go away without availing it against the existence of the humans and the hunters. The Lost Ventures was one of a kind threat. Currently they were in limited numbers smaller enough to not create a clan of its own. This said the threat was in its normal level; if the Hightown stops ignoring this matter then they could eradicate the danger without bringing much harm. Presently the Lost Ventures were forming a plan to increase the population and for this they were breeding Reaper. 

They not only accepted this lost venture as their leader as well as the sole cause to follow for making a clan. The Reaper after living in the Vaga Hillocks and facing crude things has completely lost its human appearance. Not only the human appearance was mutilated with the time but also the changes brought certain changes and it could breed really vulgar creatures with the help of living humans no matter if the human was a hunter. The reaper would slowly consume the human and the several creatures would form in his body with the time. After some time; the Reaper would separate these creatures from its body and they could live their own and grow. 

This was strange phenomena away from the approach of the Hightown a strong reason why Lost Ventures were secretive. They were keeping it hidden until they were able to form a clan and hostage enough hunters or humans to increase the breeding of their miscellaneous race. Every new separated lost venture differ in appearance completely and more vulgar. The normal human cannot look at these creatures without puking guts out. 

It was unknown how the hunters would be able to get rid this forming clan if they happened to get late reaching here. Normally Vaga Hillocks was not much dangerous unless the hunters battle with each other or disturb the sleepy monsters intentionally or by chance. The Lost Venture attracted two more and told them about the presence of aim. They formed two pairs of three lost ventures and followed to bring the human for the Reaper. The Reaper was looking for the meal so that it could breed more creatures. Its plan was to form a clan till' next winter however it could not get enough humans for the meal. Which was not good sign for their plan; sooner or later the Hightown might get to know their existence; at that time it was necessary that he has enough of the lost ventures to defeat whoever tried to destroy them. 

Everything was not as per to the plan and the Reaper was not happy. The lost ventures were afraid to displease the boss as soon as they get the gesture that one of them found the 'aim' they leapt to get it. The lost venture who has taken the breath of the girl could easily reach her no matter if she was not at the previous place. 

They reached where the lost venture spotted her and then he smelled her aura for following behind. The eyes of the lost ventures were shining as if it could see the particles present in the air. The fact that most of the lost ventures were born blind; they could see the darkness though and aim their targets. For a human the light was the source of sight but for the Lost Ventures the dark provide them necessary source for the vision. It was strange as well as frightening. 

The beasts and monsters bragged about their strength in front of humans while this newer race has the otherwise capability. All the weaknesses of a human were the normal qualities of a lost venture. This said the humans have one more enemy race added to their list. This could be bad or worst depending on the unfolding events. The lost ventures were rushing where the aura of the girl was leading them. Qiao was busy in his practice. When he got exhausted; he sat and closed his eyes for rest. Meanwhile a strong trap fell on the trio and they were captured.
