Chapter 693: Scouting (1/2)
*Boom!!*
A loud explosion occurred followed by a pained whine.
Amidst a dense jungle, a large beast emanating a demonic aura, wailed in pain as it suffered numerous wounds on it's body. Crimson blood oozed out of it's body, nevertheless the beast didn't have the time to pay attention to these wounds since it was busy glaring at those who were attacking it.
*Woosh!*
A cold gleam suddenly alerted the beast, unfortunately it didn't manage to react. By the time it noticed the gleam od steel, it was already too late. The beast only caught a glimpse of who attacked it before it wailed in pain yet again. This time, the injury was severe since it lost its sight.
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
”Over here you big lizard!! I'm right here!!”
The beast might've been blinded but it wasn't deaf. It also wasn't a timid one especially now that its life was threatened. Following the sound, the beast lifted its paws and slammed it to the general direction of the provocative voice. Unfortunately, this was a big mistake.
*Schwing!*
*Roar!!!*
The beast missed and it paid dearly for the mistake it made. With its sense of sight missing, the beast never would've imagined that there was another human hiding near them. It was the same person who blinded it and also the one who ended the beast's life.
The beast let out a final wail before it closed its eyes forever.
”Whew…alright! Good work, Gorgeous!”
”Thanks, Muscleman.”
”Gross.”
These people were none other than Arthur, Rosa and Vendrick.
It has been two months since Arthur and Rosa started training. They've come a long way and could now hunt a Tier 4 Demonic Beast on their own. Vendrick was only there to watch, he'd help them if the need for it arises but unless its absolutely necessary, not even a shadow of him would be seen during the battle.,
The beast that they hunted just now is called a Silverscale Salamander. It lives a couple hundred miles away from the ground and was also acting like a Beast Leader since it possess some intelligence.
This lizard is famous for its tough scales and unusually swift movements. The Berserkers of Blue Mountain Tribe only saw this beast once and never bothered it. They wouldn't even enter its territory or else they will definitely die.
Now though, this beast is dead. It fell under the hands of Arthur and Rosa who only training for less than two months.
”Okay, we should end it here for today, yeah?” Arthur suggested. ”This guy is big enough to supply us for at least one week.”
”Tsk. Only a week huh?” Rosa clicked her tongue in annoyance.
”Well it can't be helped.” Arthur was helpless as well. ”Us Berserkers are gluttons. The stronger we get, the more demonic beast meat we need. Actually, a week is an overestimation. Don't forget that we will also hunt ten more Tier 2 Demonic Beasts as emergency rations.”
”It's a good thing that we're not gaining weight from how much we are eating.” Rosa sighed, ”I can't imagine running around this jungle with a flapping belly.”
”Hey! That's rude.” Arthur looked hurt.
”Awh, I wasn't talking about you Sweetie.” Rosa linked her arms around him and kissed his cheeks. ”You're my Muscleman, you're not fat.”
”Hehe.”
”Ugh.” Vendrick rolled his eyes as he heard them flirting. If there's anything that seriously annoyed him whilst training and guarding them, it would be the flirting. Seriously, these two just won't stop.
To this, Arthur and Rosa would only chuckle. Whether they were doing this on purpose or not didn't matter since annoying Vendrick allows them to have some revenge for the times he tortured them using his creations.
”Heave-ho!”
After flirting with each other for a bit, Arthur decided that it was time to move-along. He kept his axe away and place his shield on his back. Then he lifted the carcass of the Silverscale Salamander overhead and started walking towards the tribe.
”I'll let you take care of the Tier 2's.” Arthur told Rosa to which she nodded.
