It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

"We have only found two giant crows and one two-headed mutant dog. We can go and collect them for you, but we can't guarantee the quantity."

The trumpet gun hunter said.

Having occupied Old Ater for decades, the Gunpowder Workshop Hunters know the situation of the wild beasts here almost completely.

"That's fine. Second, I need blood gems. The higher the quality, the better. There's no limit to the quantity."

He nodded.

".good."

The horn-gun hunter hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Because they seldom hunt wild animals now, most of the blood gems they have are previous stocks, and the number is really small.

But because of this, their demand for the Blood Gem is indeed not high, so it is not impossible to give it to Liu Zheng as a thank you.

"The third point is not a requirement, it just provides you with a choice."

He continued.

"What choice?"

"Would you like to send a few people to help me?"

"Help you? Aren't you already cooperating with the Blood Healing Church?"

The horn gun hunter asked curiously.

The Blood Healing Church is obviously much stronger than their declining gunpowder workshop in terms of both strength and influence.

"It's just a temporary cooperation. The Blood Healing Church has too many secrets and taboos, and my actions may conflict with it at any time."

Liu Zheng said.

For example, the Karkarens College where he was about to go was strictly speaking the birthplace of the Blood Healing Church.

Although both founders Dickins and Beethoven were defectors, the relationship between the two sides is still very close.

It’s hard to say, but the Blood Healing Church still has a lot of leverage in the hands of the Karkarens Academy.

For example, when Liu Zheng asked Andrina about the situation at Carlens College on the road, she was vague.

He didn't believe that the Blood Healing Church didn't know about it. It could only be that Grand Priest Amelia forbade her to disclose the relevant information.

"Unless you're willing to hide in Old Ater, I don't think we can help you much."

Scream gun hunters are very self-aware.

If it was the Gunpowder Workshop during its victorious period, perhaps it could still deal with the Blood Healing Church with firepower far exceeding that of other hunters.

But now, they can only rely on the terrain of Old At to fight guerrilla warfare.

"That's not the case. After all, you are local hunters. You can be my guide and run errands. If that doesn't work, you can help me be the security guard of the Church of Pain."

Liu Zheng said.

If they really fall out with the Blood Healing Church, they will definitely start with the people from the Church of Pain.

Although he will not be really threatened, it is still possible to prepare some countermeasures.

"The Church of Agony?"

The horn-gun hunter was stunned for a moment, then looked at the helmeted man.

Yes, this outfit did match what he remembered.

"What can we get if we choose to agree?"

he asked.

"What caused the destruction of Old At?"

Liu Zheng asked back.

"Of course it's because the Blood Healing Church set the city on fire."

The horn-gun hunter said without hesitation.

“This is just the direct cause, what is the root cause?”

"The root cause is the beast disease."

The horn gun hunter thought for a moment and said.

"That's right. The Pale Night has come again, and the Blood Healing Church may resort to the same old tricks again. You have already lost the old Ater, do you want to lose a new Ater?"

"us."

A trace of sadness flashed across the horn-gun hunter's face.

Although the gunpowder workshop is located in Old At, it has not completely lost its connection with New At.

The new blood of the workshop is also recruited from the New Atlas people who agree with their ideas, and materials also need to be exchanged with the New Atlas.

Otherwise, the gunpowder workshop would have disappeared over the years.

He really couldn't say that the destruction of New Art had nothing to do with us.

"Then what can you do? Stop the church from burning New Athens? As long as the Pale Night does not end, New Athens will be destroyed by the beast disease if not the flames."

The trumpet gun hunter questioned.

As the current leader of the Gunpowder Workshop, he knows a little more than others.

After the destruction of old At, some survivors wanted to leave and live in a foreign land.

As a result, shortly after leaving At's area, the survivors and the gunpowder workshop hunters who escorted them broke out in beast disease, and the disease progressed at an alarming speed.

Finally, only one hunter managed to escape and turned completely into a beast after telling his story.

"At is a place where the gods watch over you. Anyone who leaves At will be punished by the gods."

These were the hunter's last words.

"Then break the pale night and let the sun rise as usual."

Liu Zheng said.

"Destroy the Pale Night? Hahahaha!"

The trumpet-gun hunter gave a calculated laugh.

"Where do you think you are, stranger? Do you think you are dealing with a few peasants with pitchforks?"

There was a deep sneer on his face.

The one you have to deal with may very well be a high and mighty god.

"Hehe, where do you think I came from?"

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

It was nothing but lycanthropy, and he couldn't even see a proper wild animal in the metropolis.

And destroying the Pale Night is not just empty talk. The umbilical cord of the Son of God is obviously related to the mastermind behind the scenes.

He wants to collect the umbilical cords of all the Sons of God, which will most likely lead to conflicts with their parents.

Moreover, the giant hand that stretched out from the blood moon is most likely the culprit of the Pale Night.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, just tell me whether you will do it or not."

Liu Zheng said.

"How many people do you need?"

The horn gun hunter asked after a moment's silence.

"It depends on your sincerity."

He shrugged.

"We need to talk it over."

"Okay. Please help me collect materials while we discuss this. Be quick. If I think you are slow, I will do it myself."

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Humph."

The horn-gun hunter gave him an unpleasant look and left with his men.

Liu Zheng continued to drink tea leisurely and took some dried fish as snacks.

"Lady Andrina, please excuse me for a moment."

The hunter captain looked at his back with complicated eyes, then walked to Andrina and whispered,

"what's up?"

Andrina walked aside with him.

"What's the situation with this stranger? Isn't he a disciple of Master Beethoven? Why doesn't he show any respect for the church in his words?"

The hunter captain asked in a deep voice.

"Master Beethoven did want to take him as his disciple, but he didn't seem to agree. The two of them fought each other, and according to people who were there, both won and lost."

Andrina said.

Although the "Holy Sword" Hunter and the "Holy Blood" Hunter belong to different factions, their relationship is not bad.

Firstly, Beethoven himself did not have much desire for power and did not ask his subordinates to keep a distance from other hunters.

Secondly, a considerable number of the "Holy Blood" hunters are women.

"what?!"

The hunter captain's eyes widened.

303. Chapter 302: White Jade Pillars Supporting the Sky, Purple Gold Beams Spanning the Sea

303.

It was shocking enough that someone would reject Master Beethoven's eyes, but this person actually even had a winning streak with Master Beethoven.

He is the chief hunter of the church, a human-shaped siege weapon.

The beast that an entire team of hunters found difficult to deal with was no more than a cat or a dog in front of Beethoven.

Captain Hunter had no doubt that if Master Beethoven wanted, he could rule the entire At with his personal force.

Of course, Beethoven would never do that.

But that's because he doesn't have such ambition, not because he doesn't have such ability.

"Of course, Master Beethoven did not use the holy sword, and he also held back. But the strength of this delivery man must not be underestimated. Grand Priest Amelia also asked me to try my best to meet his requirements and not to anger him."

Andrina said.

"ok, I get it."

The hunter captain said reluctantly.

He was originally ready to question Liu Zheng, but after hearing what Andrina said, he gave up.

After all, someone who can fight with Beethoven back and forth will definitely have no problem killing off their entire hunter team.

Although he was loyal to the church, he had no interest in becoming a martyr.

In the subtle atmosphere, time passed quietly.

Suddenly, Liu Zheng's ear piercing opened.

From deep within Old At, there were faint sounds of explosions.

Soon, the explosions gradually stopped, but after a while they sounded again in other places.

More than an hour later, the hunters from the gunpowder workshop returned with their spoils.

"Here are the bodies of the giant crow and the two-headed mutant dog you requested."

The horn-gun hunter pointed at a cart and said.
