Auto Hunting (Web Novel KR)

Episode 16

Crack formation.

Before, every time the siren rang, there had been panic in the surrounding area.

Traffic tightened, and people rushed and hoarded groceries. Looters and other criminals took advantage of the moment.

But now, no one was in a panic.

Once the siren rang, people used their cell phones to determine the time of the crack’s appearance.

‘Nine hours left. I guess I should take my time then: pack up for a few days and find a shelter or lodging nearby.’

People naturally gathered at the security hall closest to them.

This kind of orderliness came from familiarity.

The decades of appearing cracks had made the experience a rather normal one for them.

“Uh,” Jae-sung’s smirk was now gone.

“Do you have any other important thing to say? If not, can I now focus entirely on my briefing?”

When no answer came, Yoo-seong shifted his focus back to his phone and began memorizing the rules.

The moment he hunted with the Choi Jae-sung team, he’d have no choice but to keep getting involved with them from the reward stage after the hunt was over.

He had only listened to Choi because of his respect for elders, partners, and senior colleagues. He couldn’t go beyond that, however.

Choi Jae-sung, whose mouth had hung open before, closed his mouth and led his team towards the crack.

The other teams that had been listening did the same. Yoo- seong was left alone.

He read the briefing thoroughly; then he went to the crack.

Usually, teams went hunting by themselves without help from other teams.

However, the monsters this time were in a colony.

Therefore, the teams that took the bus together were gathered around the bus.

They stood back-to-back, waiting for the monsters to arrive.

Each team leader discussed the formation and gave their team members different roles.

Each team had a standard line of defense and attack.

The only loner was Yoo-seong.

Most of the hunters didn’t feel that Yoo-seong was wrong in turning Jae-sung down.

They all knew Jae-sung tended to be excessive, and Yoo-seong had been quite polite to the end.

But among the groups that came on the bus, Black Bull was the best in skill and career.

From formation and barricade construction, Choi Jae-sung’s team had no rival.

Choi didn’t care about some sarcastic ill-mannered rookie like Yoo-seong.

The silver-spoon kid would have to learn the hard way to take care of himself.

He shot Yoo-seong a glance.

Yoo-seong appeared quite relaxed. The sight of him annoyed him.

“They are coming!” The hunter on the lookout shouted.

The others looked to see ants approaching from far away.

Insectoid creatures with upper human bodies came towards them. Instead of looking like common ants, they looked like centaurs from Greek mythology. The only difference was that they had the lower body of an ant, not a horse.

The hunters braced themselves for the battle. Yoo-seong also took a three-stage stick out.

“Newbie,” someone ridiculed him from the side.

It was Choi Jae-sung.

“What are you going to do with that basic equipment? You should have brought something more suited for this. Perhaps some ranged weapons. But you don’t have any, right?”

Yoo-seong didn’t reply.

“Don’t hurt your nose while stepping out. Strike them quietly from behind, or at least keep them before your-”

Before Jae-sung could finish speaking, the three-stage stick snapped into its full form.

Yoo-seong stood with a hand on his waist and the weapon on the other.

“What? You had been so respectful earlier,” Choi continued, puzzled by the newbie’s reaction.

Was Yoo-seong going to fight me?

Yoo-seong, however, wasn’t even looking at him.

He hadn’t unleashed his weapon because of Jae-sung.

He had pressed his button.

-Automatic hunting activated.-

It was just like eight months ago when Yoo-seong practiced against a mannequin with a three-stage stick.

This time, however, there was something else.

Blue energy surrounded his body.

“Dumb ass, don’t do that around people. You could hurt them!” Jae-sung shouted, fearing that Yoo-seong would cause a Corona.

Instead, Jae-sung gasped as he watched.

Even the hunters who had been watching the ants approach shifted their attention to the rookie.

“Wow, what?!” someone yelled in surprise.

The surface of Yoo-seong’s Aura was very smooth.

It was a fully controlled emission. There was a 0% loss rate, no energy wasted.

No Corona was bound to explode. No one there could replicate that control.

Everyone watched as Yoo-seong bent down as if he was about to run in a race. His Aura became concentrated around his legs.

Then, he began to run.

It took just five steps and a leap for him to land gracefully amid the dense colony of ants.

The other hunters watched in silence.

The ants were very tall, and Yoo-seong disappeared among them.

After a few moments, they spotted him fighting against the giant ants, turning them over one after another.

As Yoo-seong battled the ants, he realized something that was going to cost him a lot.

He had underestimated the Automatic Hunt function.
