208 Platinum Rank (1/2)

From afar, the old man saw Yonki was waving his hand excitedly. He could see the excitement from the middle-aged man's expression, 'He's so happy to come back alive?' Chief Lod thought to himself while shaking his head.

”The Dire Wolves are killed! The village is safe from the beasts!” The hunter yelled loudly at his village chief.

The shout stunned the old man and the same for the experienced hunter next to the old man. Both were stunned at Yonki's claim, and they were struck with disbelief.

”What are you talking about, Yonki? Did they pay you to lie?” Lam, the leader of the hunter team questioned his man. This was the only possibility Yonki lied to them, working together to get a share from the quest reward.

It had only been two hours, as an experienced hunter himself, Lam believed it would take Wood Rank Party at least six to half days or even a full day to hunt the wolves down. It was natural for him to think Yonki was working together with the adventurers. This was not a new case, after all.

”What are you talking about, Leader? We–” Yonki stopped halfway before continuing, ”They attack the Dire Wolves' den on the hill, and kill all the wolves!” He was slightly upset that the Leader did not believe him.

But soon he realized if he was in his leader's position, he would not believe it either. It was a Wood Rank Party, hunting a big pack of Dire Wolves, and killing the Alpha Wolf as well. Even if it was him, he might not believe it if he did not witness it with his own eyes.

However, Yonki was not concerned since it could be proved easily. He noticed the disappointment in his Village Chief's expression, and his Leader was about to get angry at him.

With a wide smile, Yonki showed the Storage Bag he carries on his back, ”Look at his! This is the proof they have finished the quest!” He immediately poured three Dire Wolves' dead bodies, and among the three dead bodies was the Alpha Dire Wolf.

It was an easy quest, and the thing called Alpha was a Stage-3 Dire Wolf. The quest was just like walking in the park for Tang Shaoyang and his men. A single stage-3 and bunches of stage-2 wolves.

The Hunter Leader, Lam's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the massive Alpha Dire Wolf. It could be seen from the size that the wolves in the middle were the Alpha.

”This… This…” the Leader Hunter stuttered as he kept glancing between the Alpha Dire Wolf and the party. It was hard to believe a Wood Rank Adventurer could handle the Alpha Dire Wolf.

While the Hunter Leader was in a state of disbelief, Chief Lod's eyes were on the Storage Bag. He furrowed his brows, ”Is that yours, Yonki?” His finger was pointing to the storage bag.

At this moment, Yonki realized he was f*cked, 'Ah, shit, I am too excited that I forget to tell them to keep a secret about my storage bag. I hope they will help me.'

”It's not mine, it's them! I am just helping them to carry it!” He pointed to the party with his thumb.

Yonki got the storage bag from the bandit he killed a week ago. A storage bag was something so luxurious and precious for someone like him. So he did not tell the villager about his storage bag. Even with the threat of Dire Wolves, he kept the storage bag with him.

'Please help me! Please play along with me!' The hunter was pleading inside his heart.

There was no change of expression on Tang Shaoyang while Fan Rui, Gu Yingjie, and Liang Suyin were caught off guard. However, Cao Yuntai was the one quick with the uptake. The older smiled gently to Chief Lod, ”Yes, the storage bag is mine. After we killed all the wolves, Yonki was offering to help us by carrying the carcasses.”

Chief Lod nodded his head and smiled widely at Cao Yuntai, ”We thank you for your hard work, and I apologize for harboring suspicion earlier, I thought your party can't finish the quest,” the old man bowed his head to Cao Yuntai.

”It's okay. We understand since we are just Wood Rank Party,” Cao Yuntai waved his hand casually, indicating they did not mind with that, ”But Chief Lod, can you help us skin the wolf's fur for us? I think it will be too much for Yonki to do it alone,” Cao Yuntai winked at Yonki who picked up the three carcasses into the storage bag.

Another inconvenience about the storage bag, the bag would get heavier with more items stored inside.
