Chapter 105: Not listening to advice (2/2)

The others were full of confidence and acceptance towards Han Shuo’s decisions and leadership abilities by now. Even Gordon, who hadn’t fully trusted Han Shuo in the beginning, now looked at Han Shuo with a gaze full of sincere admiration. Everyone cheered happily after Han Shuo spoke these words and slowly crawled out from the hole within the tree, planning to collect the spoils of war from the twin headed dragon.

A strange sound suddenly arrived in their ears as a manticore bearing a silver haired youth with an inflexible will suddenly appeared next to the twin headed dragon.

There was a paralyzing venom within every manticore’s tail and its claws were ferocious when tearing into flesh. Add to that its agile movements and powerful jumps, it was a level one beast trickier than the twin headed dragon to handle. The manticore was a very headache inducing existence within the Dark Forest. Who would’ve thought that such a magical beast would be tamed by others?

The owner of manticore was a twenty seven or eight year old youth. He was dressed carelessly, wore a space ring on his left hand, and carried a broadsword in his right hand. The lines of his face were resolute and angular. Although he wasn’t a stunning man, he had his own allure.

“Oh. Looks like I’m quite lucky today to meet a twin headed dragon that’d just died.” The youth murmured lowly to himself and urged the manticore to stop in front of the twin headed dragon, it seemed like he intended to reap the spoils of Han Shuo and the others.

At this moment, Han Shuo was a few steps ahead of Odysseus and the others and had jumped down from the hole within the tree. When he saw the youth was matter-of-factly viewing the twin headed dragon as his prey, he was immediately ticked off. Han Shuo chuckled coldly in the distance and said, “Friend, we killed this twin headed dragon with great effort. It’s not the right thing to do, collecting the spoils without asking for the owner’s permission right?”

The youth lifted his head to look at Han Shuo and say contemptuously, “All magical creatures have no owner within the Dark Forest whether they are alive or dead. Since I was the one who had discovered the twin headed dragon, it’s mine.”

The youth ignored Han Shuo after saying this and pulled out a dagger from his calf, tending to his own business and attempting to yank out the poisonous fangs from within the twin headed dragon’s head.

Han Shuo wasn’t someone who possessed a good temper and pulled out his crossbow to lock onto the other when he saw that the latter was completely ignoring his words. Han Shuo smiled coldly, “I’ll shoot and kill you where you are if you dare move!”

“Oh, then I’ll move for you to see!” The youth looked amusedly at Han Shuo and said this remotely. He immediately flicked the dagger and plucked out one of the twin headed dragon’s fangs.

Han Shuo nodded and didn’t say anything else. He planned on immediately shooting out this bolt and kill this stubborn fellow. Just at this moment, Odysseus suddenly called out, “No!”

Odysseus quickly rushed to Han Shuo and explained anxiously, “He should be the legendary Trunks. This is a demon riding a manticore. Anyone who irritates him will face enormous trouble. If he wants the twin headed dragon, then he can have it.”

Han Shuo’s expression changed as he looked in surprise at the youth, finally remembering that this person was the magical creature hunter Trunks within the Dark Forest.

The person’s origin was mysterious. As a swordsman within the Dark Forest, this person’s temper was eccentric and his personality aloof. It was said that not only did he hunt magical creatures, but he also hunted some of the adventurers within the Dark Forest as well. He was very adept at doing battle within the Dark Forest, and apparently even a great swordsmaster had met their death at his hands. He was a universally feared cold-blooded killer within the Dark Forest.

“Your friend’s suggestion is good, you should listen to him!” The youth reached out a hand towards the twin headed dragon’s other poisonous fang and looked at Han Shou from afar, seeming to have concluded that Han Shuo wouldn’t dare make a move.

Except, the whistling sound of a crossbow bolt tearing through the air greeted him. Han Shuo’s expression was cold as he didn’t listen to any of Odysseus’ words at all. The aimed crossbow in his hand directly fired at Trunks.

Trunks was just about to remove the other fang and was quite dumbfounded to see that Han Shuo had actually shot his crossbow. His body was already moving when he revealed his surprised expression, and he’d already taken a step backwards like a ghost.

Pfft. The force behind a crossbow bolt stuck the bolt deeply into the ground where he’d been standing, leaving behind only half a bolt that continued quivering in the ground.

If Trunks hadn’t dodged in time, his body would’ve been pierced through when this bolt landed!
