Chapter 59: Chapter 47 Hunter and Prey
The two men shakily lifted their heads to look at the old hunter, whose appearance had drastically changed.
At this moment, compared to when the old hunter first appeared, his body size had increased by a size, and in addition, his body was covered with red fur.
Every time the old hunter obtained a live wolf, he would absorb its blood.
And with each absorption, there was a small chance of evolution.
And once evolved, he could transform into a werewolf!
At this time, his aggressiveness and dangerousness escalated to a very terrifying extent.
The two men swallowed hard, having completely forgotten about the task of supporting their boss.
Judging from the situation at the scene, during their absence, the old hunter had attacked the members of their Black Rabbit gang and absorbed a large amount of red wolf blood.
He had already begun to take on the form of a monster.
Just then, everyone in the crack felt a special inspiration.
[The old hunter has mutated, and the degree of crack mutation has increased by 5%.]
Inspiration appeared, and the degree of mutation increased!
In the hunting field, this signified that the old hunter would no longer disguise himself, becoming a true BOSS!
He would constantly wander in the forest, launching indiscriminate attacks on any human he encountered!
The monsterized old hunter possessed an extremely strong regenerative ability and powerful strength.
Normally, without a collaborative team effort, they had almost no chance of victory.
However, now the Black Rabbit gang was nearly annihilated, and the lone hunters chose to hide, meaning there was no possibility of cooperation.
Ordinary teams would be headed for certain death upon encountering the old hunter.
Now, the forest had essentially become a survival game.
In everyone's hearts, at this moment, the only one they believed could defeat the old hunter was the mysterious and unpredictable Flower Witch.
Many began to pray, hoping the Flower Witch could defeat the old hunter, hoping the old hunter would not find their location.
The two underlings of the Black Rabbit gang were also praying inwardly.
The old hunter exhaled a breath tainted with blood, intentionally avoiding the Flower Witch.
But now, he urgently needed to experience his new powerful strength!
The red wolves, as well as the trash from the Black Rabbit gang, were too weak!
The old hunter placed his rough hand on the shoulders of the two men, exhaling a breath of bloody air:
"I'll ask you one more time, where is the 'monster' you mentioned?"
The two men's bodies seemed to freeze, and they instinctively lifted their trembling fingers, pointing towards the direction where their boss was fighting with Chen Qi.
Boss, sorry!
The old hunter, like a ravenous beast, revealed crimson teeth as he stepped over the twigs and dead leaves on the ground:
"I'm going to hunt him down now."
...
...
Dark clouds covered the moon, and the wind blew through the forest.
The flames of the barbecue grill had died down, and two or three wolves ran past near the cave.
Chen Qi sat in front of the cave, stroking the red wolf that was eating meat.
His barbecue had successfully attracted quite a few red wolves.
Moreover, some red wolves were won over by his barbecue and almost became like large pet dogs.
Just now, he had also seen the crack notification about the [Old Hunter's Mutation].
This meant that the old hunter had turned into a monstrous entity that would attack humans indiscriminately.
"The meat is done, the wolves are drawn, but where is the old hunter himself?"
Chen Qi shook his head.
He didn't rule out the possibility that the Flower Witch had discovered the old hunter and finished him off in an instant.
However, this also meant that all his previous manipulations were in vain.
Of course, this wasn't entirely a bad thing, as with the defeat of the old hunter, the entire crack would end prematurely.
Returning to Moonstone City ahead of time and selling the stuff from Scarface Rabbit, along with the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter, would be quite a profitable sum.
However, at this moment, the red wolves eating the barbecued meat around him dispersed like startled puppies, scattering in every direction.
The branches and leaves rustled.
Huh?
Chen Qi was alarmed.
In many senses, beasts are far superior to humans.
From the reactions of the red wolves, they had sensed an unprecedented danger.
Rustle!
Rustle!
In the distance, a tall figure gradually emerged, his footsteps heavy and powerful, his breath like the low growl of a beast.
The old hunter emerged from the shadows, exhaling a breath tainted with blood:
"Finally found you."
The old hunter loaded his hunting rifle and continued:
"Do you know, according to my findings, a monster more terrifying than the red wolves has appeared in this forest. Have you seen any traces of it?"
Chen Qi took a long breath.
According to the hunting guide, at this time you say, "I don't know."
The old hunter would happily chat with you, and then while chatting, he would suddenly tell you that he is the monster!
Of course, Chen Qi had no intention of chatting with the other party right now.
At this moment, he could barely contain the joy in his heart!
He had laid out so much barbecue in the forest, lured so many red wolves, and waited for so long!
This big fish had finally taken the bait!
Seeing Chen Qi's silence, the old hunter revealed his teeth stained with wolf blood:
"What's the matter... Have you encountered something? Are you afraid of something?"
Bang!
Chen Qi didn't hesitate, took up "The Collector," and fired a shot right at the old hunter's face.
The bullet instantly blew a small hole in the old hunter's face.
The old hunter looked slightly surprised, glanced at his own face, and blood dripped from his visage.
The other party actually dared to attack him, the master of the forest?
"Interesting! I wasn't wrong, you do have the aura of a hunter, indeed braver than those weaklings."
The old hunter smiled.
Then, the wound on his face twisted like a vortex for a moment, and the injury healed instantly.
"Huh..."
Chen Qi blew on the barrel of "The Collector," which was steaming hot.
Indeed, as a raid boss, the old hunter's health and defense were among the best!
The damage caused by "The Collector" was negligible.
His main purpose in attacking was to draw the old hunter's hostility.
Immediately after, the old hunter picked up his hunting rifle and said to Chen Qi:
"Since you have attacked me, it seems, you are ready to be hunted!"
"Hunted? Are you hungry? Do you need me to feed you some barbecue, little dog?"
Chen Qi taunted casually, showing absolutely no respect for the old hunter.
Then, he took up his lantern and walked towards the depths of the cave.
"Such arrogance—"
The old hunter's mouth twitched, as if something was surging beneath his skin!
He now had the body of a monster, and the other party dared to address him this way.
The old hunter entered the dim cave.
No matter if the other party was running or had set traps, they couldn't escape his wolf claws.
As he walked, he said:
"Human, do you know? In my short hunting life, the more I honed my hunting skills, the more I realized the limit of humans, their frailty, their weakness."
The old hunter stopped, he had already smelled Chen Qi's scent.
The wonderful human aroma!
Drip-drip-drip!
The sound of water drops echoed in the cave.
When he reached the end and saw Chen Qi near the water pool.
But at the moment, he didn't pick up his trusted hunting rifle but instead violently broke it in half.
He looked up, excitedly stating:
"Humans are ultimately weak creatures that can only rely on tools...
So, I quit being human!"
After he finished speaking, the old hunter's face contorted, his back arched, and a tearing pain came over him; his muscles bulged instantaneously, sharp claws and teeth extended from his bones, and thick, crimson wolf fur covered his entire body, transforming him completely into a terrifying werewolf!
"Roar!"
He was now eager to use this new body to tear apart humans!
Chen Qi held his breath; the other party had discovered him.
The old hunter opened his mouth, showing his crimson fangs, and charged at Chen Qi:
"Human, witness the might of my monster..."
Boom!
Then the next second, before the hunter could finish his line, a tentacle suddenly whipped him onto the wall.
The old hunter, pinned against the wall by the tentacle of the beast from the water pool, was dumbfounded:
"What the hell is this?"
The creature from the water pool began to gather within the cave.
What is this... Chen Qi put down the kerosene lamp, at a loss for words on how to explain.
The creature from the water pool was indeed a rare monster.
If he directly said "creature from the water pool," the old hunter probably wouldn't understand.
Slime, his lordship would probably be confused too.
To be considerate of the old hunter's feelings, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Let me introduce you, this is my hunting dog."
