My Last Hunt

Class Test 4

Professional search 

"This town is big. Taking an overview from some high place will provide enough of direction for the right way search." Qiao gestured toward the hill where a small house was built. They could see from afar that the house was in good condition. This means the monster did not target this house. Qiqi nodded and they walked toward the hill. The distance was big. "Slow Pace would help us keep an eye at the surrounding; we'll reach there by the fall of evening. In the evening it will help us survey the most part of the town. Hope everything goes well." Qiao walked after talking his plans. 

It would help Qiqi understand what he could expect. There was no way out for him so he was alert just like a diligent hunter. The idea was not bad either. "Team leader' I am not supposed to ask but do you think if we find the monster; we will be able hunt it?" Qiqi finally asked question. Now that team leader was treating properly; he cannot show disinterest. He should act like a real hunter and follow up in every situation forgetting the words of the elder. 

"Once we spot the monster; I will let you know what plan we will follow for this hunt." Qiao voiced actively. He was glad that this third hunter decided act normal. Also he was in habit of planning the method of hunt after witnessing the movements, attentions and the strength type of the monster. It was best ever way for tackling every situation. Planning beforehand often got disturbed in the duration of the time lapse. The actions and the situations cannot be predicted accurately. A hunter should have learned how to go along with the norms and sudden abnormality of the conditions. 

Qiqi agreed hence he decided to follow; he wanted to see the other wonders of the hunter. "How long have you been in the Hunting School?" Qiao asked casually. Qiqi thought for a while and spoke, "Ten years; we work under the orders of the elder. In fact the elder picked us after considering our slow progress. I do not mind following the orders and working for the elder but this time he perhaps took a wrong conclusion about someone." Qiqi intentionally skipped the name. He was talking about Qiao. Qiao did not mind the elder and these hunters; knowing that it was to test his skills; there was no harm doing so. 

"If you have spent this long time; did you see a hunter, his appearance resembled with others not the ways? I saw him in the food shop; his both eyes bear different color. There was a sign on his neck at the left." Qiao happened to brush past a hunter in the food shop and his hood fell back; it let him see the sign. "I don't know but I have some strong feeling that he does not belong to our Hunting School." Qiao voiced keeping the pace and the lookout. 

"No one irrelevant hunter is allowed to enter in the Hunting School much less a stranger. Why you think that he looked suspicious?" Qiqi asked. Until now he has seen the senior Qiao behaving very serene and wise in every action. His temper was standard and he has keen eyes for observation. This was what Qiqi noticed about Qiao. "He paid for the food but he was not looking hungry instead he was looking at the other hunters after going out of the shop. Later I followed him and he disappeared in one of the buildings. I am sure he got aware about my chase." 

Qiao recently became aware about the threats the Hightown facing and he was very careful. In fact in his eyes every second hunter looked suspicious. "I will tell the elder and relate the specification. The elders have entire data of the hunters of the Hunting School; if the relevant characteristics matched with student then there was no need to worry otherwise the elders should know about it." Qiqi spoke like a responsible hunter. The evening was near. Shy Rode was ruining the left side of the town tonight. After finishing the sources of the half of the town; it was filtering the remaining houses. 

The houses on the top hills were also part of newer expedition. The shy Rode rushed around the streets spying the activities of the hunting team. The smart monster was satisfied to see that half of the team gave up. The actively glaring eyes were fixed on the leading hunter. With the evening; Rode was supposed to swipe up the remaining sources and this hunter was on the hit list; possibly bringing trouble for filling the empty stomach. Qiao halted his steps. He felt the piercing gaze of the monster and side smiled. 

It means that the monster was keeping eyes at their activities. Qiao would not feel difficulty in the night and he could easily chase the monster as for the other hunter; he might leave him on the hill. "The monster has been following us however we will reach the hill. I want to know what it is going to do now." they reached the hill and it was dark around. Qiao observed the surrounding. People lit something making food inside their houses. The houses were visible where the monster yet to wreak havoc. 

There were several in the row; empty and void of life. The inhabitants left them as it was and saved themselves. They witnessed some of the brutal actions of the monster the very first day. Those who wanted to stop it tried means ending up in the stomach of the monster. The huge mouth gulped the full human in one go and the long tongue kept smashing the people at the bay. Once or twice the people faced such scene and they gave up. Now the monster was free roam around and do whatever it want. The people let the monster take away sources and hide in the corners for the goodness in the previous few days.
