My Last Hunt

Silver Class 19

Bro should not be bothered

"What is wrong about his clothing?" Qiao asked in low tone. They were also making distance with the movement of the Scalawags without coming into their notice. "This clothing tells the hunter is Scalawag." Kala pointed toward them silently. He did not increase the volume of his speech. He was seeing them for the first time however had had heard about them many times. Qiao scrutinized and they no more looked better than beggars of his world. Their clothing was not actually a well customized or made of single clothe instead it was rags folded randomly on the body. 

"Their presence meant that they are looking for some rare stone. Perhaps there will be a mess of battle soon. I can't say anything." Kala whispered. Kaili was at the far back. She was listening carefully not to miss what they were talking to each other. Lama Lu was focused on the surrounding feeing the odds of the place. Qiao nodded. He was more than sure that these so-called Scalawags were the ruffians who deal in robing in simple words. If they were witnessing a hunt that means they were keeping eyes at the other team well he was not interesting in snatching whatsoever but taking a look might to not cost anything. 

He stepped ahead sneaking where the hunt was going on. There was much distance between both teams. The loud and sharp voice was displeasing. He wished to silence the monster however thinking about the stronger echo he was curious as to what type of race lives here. Various monster races use their armors differently. Some of them simply use the strength of the body or others directly use the force of the stone. It depends on the choice of the monster how it evolved its natural armor. 

His curiosity brought him near the three scalawags. They were much focused. It was certain that their sense of distance maintaining was oddly exaggerated. They never witness the hunt directly instead use their senses for maintaining the distance. Qiao approached behind and looked in front. He was speechless at the sight. Near and far he could not see the monster or the other team. Qiao was forced to think that perhaps these scalawags wanted things look dramatic. At the far end he could witness few hunters running around but the monster could not be seen. The problem was not limited to the distance only. The thick lianas hanging around were another hindrance. 

"Who are you and how dare you to imitate our movements." Qiao cannot deny. He was indeed imitating their movements. "If I were you, I would not have been doing this shameless distance watch instead go grab the stone." Qiao straightened and spoke. They looked at him unable to understand what brought this young hunter near them. They have pretty stable and cruel reputation yet this young hunter was completely ignoring. "Who am I? Let me tell you." Qiao slapped the scalawag standing near him. 

"I thought that the monster was near so I came to take a look and here I am standing disappointed. What type of chase it is. You lost your worth of different hunt group. Now step aside so I could see what is going there." Qiao angrily spoke as if his expectations were shattered. That was true. When he saw that Kala was afraid of Scalawags he was sure that the monster and the other team were near. He wanted to take a look for the sake of learning. Seeing a monster being hunted was another type of experience which let him understand how various hunters use various methods. 

"You are underestimating us." The second scalawag protested. "Shut up; I think you are overrated." Qiao slapped him he was angry at this moment not ready to listen their excuse. The hunter put his hand on his cheeks; it was all wrong. The slap sting hard; he never felt that his skin was soft enough to feel the stinging. He gauged the young hunter from head to toe. "Why you are slapping?" the third scalawag was fuming to see two other getting slaps for no reason. "You deserve it too." Qiao slapped the third one. 

His team standing at the back end was seeing this scene; Kaili bite her hand she was afraid that this young hunter was offending some scalawag; they would chase them and if possible battle. It would become horrible experience. Kala was simply looking unable to understand what angered the team leader. He was also shocked the way team leader was slapping them. It brought some curiosity as to what conversation led this scenario. Until now the scalawag actually did nothing. They were focused at looking the other team. The young hunter appeared out of nowhere and started slapping. 

They wanted to know why he came and talked with them, 'just to slap? How unfair' they were speechless. "Wish you have some intellect." Qiao shook his head. "Even if I explained you won't understand." He looked disappointed. According to the situation; there were currently three teams. One of them was hunting; second team spectating and third team hiding from the second team. Qiao disliked this. Why should he hide from scalawags; he was not a snatcher or thieve. "Leave early or I will call my senior." He gestured them to leave as if his senior was a level eight hunter. 

The three scalawags were standing dumb; looking at the appearance of the young hunter they were sure that they do not need to remember his face because forming a grudge was impossible. The expected senior would destroy their family and the whole seven generations if they tried to harm this young hunter. Qiao was so much confident that they cannot help but accept the fate. "We are climbing this crater and leaving Panping Island; do not inform Hightown." The first one spoke and retreated in hurry. The intention of the young hunter was simple. He wanted to clear this crater before he himself got to hunt a monster.
