The party had only briefly proceeded on with their journey when they saw a group of people rushing toward them through a cloud of sand ahead.
As the group came closer, Mo Fan's crew realized that they were also a party of Hunters, who seemed relatively young. They had to be quite talented among Magicians.
When they arrived and saw the Sand Howl Tiger's corpse, their expressions immediately sank. A female Magician who was slightly tanned among them approached Mo Fan's group furiously and snapped while pointing her finger at them, ”How shameless are you guys! We've been hunting the Sand Howl Tiger for half a day and injured it, yet you guys have stolen our prey after we lost track of it for a while. Don't you know that as Hunters, you're not supposed to take other people's prey!?”
The tanned female Magician spoke imposingly, her voice sharp and screeching, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
”Aunty, the Sand Howl Tiger was already charging at us when we saw it. Are you telling me that we're supposed to let the beast eat us alive if we're not allowed to kill it?” Zhao Manyan was the first to blurt out unpleasantly.
”Who are you calling an aunty? I'm not even thirty!” The tanned female Magician was infuriated.
”Oh, but your temperament is the same as those aunties dancing at the public squares when their spot has been taken.” Mo Fan was fond of making sarcastic remarks too. He immediately joined in and sang a duet with Zhao Manyan.
The tanned female Magician pulled a long face, and seemed to have an urge to teach the two disrespectful guys a lesson.
However, the rather manly leader with a black beard stepped forward and stopped her.
He preferred not to start a fight here, since they were currently in the demon beasts' territory. It was better for the Hunters to help one another, even though they felt it unfair that their prey was stolen just like that. They had injured the Sand Howl Tiger in the first place, thus the creature's strength was no longer at its peak...
”No wonder the Sand Howl Tiger was so easy to deal with,” Zhang Xiaohou realized.
When fighting the Sand Howl Tiger, Zhang Xiaohou had already noticed that the beast was covered in wounds and bruises, so he thought the beast had fought against some other creature before. It turned out that it had fought a group of Hunters, and fled when it realized that it was no match for them. Somehow, it had stumbled into Mo Fan's party, who ended up taking advantage of the situation.
”My brothers, we fought the Sand Howl Tiger for quite a while. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to kill it so easily. How about this, let us take a look if the Sand Howl Tiger's corpse has any rare bones, rare blood, rare skin or something else, and we'll split the loot in half,” said the leader with a black beard in a friendly manner.
However, Mo Fan was not happy.
These idiots had lost track of their prey, and demanded that the prey was theirs after such a long time, and even asked them to split the loot in half!
In their dreams!
The Sand Howl Tiger was quite infamous, and its corpse was quite valuable too. Even without the rare loot, a corpse in good condition would still worth around a hundred to two hundred thousand RMB!
Mo Fan would not mind discussing other things, but when it came to money, Mo Fan was not willing to give a single cent to others!
”How shameless, and you call yourself Hunters, humph!” Lingling was not fond of the demand either.
”Mm, little girl, who do you think you're talking to, the prey was ours to begin with! Come down, come down here and I'll teach how you should behave yourself!” the tanned female Magician was enraged, snapping while pointing at Lingling.
”We're just following the rules set by Hunters, how is this being shameless?” The leader with a black beard pulled a long face.
