230 Hunting Time (1/2)

Battle of Ascension HotIce 44570K 2022-07-22

In the burned forest, there were four beastmen with an ox's head wandered around. After half an hour, the fire had not died down yet as the fire kept burning the trees.

But despite having burned for a long time, the trees were still standing. The green lush forest changed into the fire forest. The leaves on the tree changed into fire, but somehow the fire could not burn the trunk.

Meanwhile, the four beastmen with an ox's head explored the fire forest thoroughly. But suddenly the foremost beastmen stopped and looked back.

The beastmen scanned behind him, behind the other three beastmen.

”What's wrong, chief?” One beastmen startled and asked the beast which called chief.

Between the four beastmen, there was an obvious difference between the chief and the other three. The beastmen called chief had four big sheep-like horns, two horns warped downward while the other two horns warped upward.

Meanwhile, the other three beastmen only had two horns which warped downward. Also, the beastmen with an ox's head with four horns were half a meter taller than the other three beastmen.

”I feel we are being watched,” The chief said as the beastmen with four horns scanned the surrounding.

”Are you sure, chief? I feel nothing,” One beastmen said in doubt as it felt nothing.

The other two beastmen also nodded its head, but as the chief said so, the other three also checked the surrounding.

”There's nothing chief,” The three beastmen confirmed.

”Maybe I was wrong, let's go. We have to find that human quickly,” The chief also found nothing, so they continued advancing forward.

The four beastmen continued. After they moved far away, there was a human appeared behind the group, besides a burned tree, ”Tha four-horned ox has a sharp instinct,”

It was Randy, he followed the Crimson Princess ”Grand Plan”. He was scouting the area, looking for the Mythical Grade Beast, when he found the group Mythical Grade Beast, he would get back to Audrey, and they would ambush the group Mythical Grade Beast together.

Actually, he wanted to take action alone and ambushed the group Mythical Grade Beast alone after leveling up his Shadow Elemental Essence to Shadow Elemental Core which granted him an ability to hide in the shadow, but Audrey bared his flaw before him if he was acting alone.

Ambushing alone could work if only there were two Mythical Grade Beasts in a group, but if there were over two Mythical Grade Beast in a group, then his plan to ambush the Mythical Grade Beast was not working as he could only kill one in one ambush.

If he could only kill one Mythical Grade Beast, then the survived beast would grow alert and would regroup with other Mythical Grade Beast if it realized Randy too strong for it.

Moreover, that was not the worst. The worst was if the beastmen realized his Shadow Elemental Power, then the survived beastmen would spread it to other groups, then it would be hard for him to ambush the other Mythical Grade Beasts.

The Crimson Princess kept pointing out the flaw about him took an action alone, convincing him to follow Audrey's grand plan.

But what the Crimson Princess him was right. Taking an example the four beastmen with an ox's head just now, he could kill one out of three of the beastmen, then what about the other three beastmen?

After battling Lamia early, Randy aware the Mythical Grade Beast was hard to deal even for the current him. So it was out of the question to face the three Mythical Grade Beast at once.

Also, just now he tried to ambush them, but the four-horned beastmen noticed his presence despite hiding in the tree's shadow.

”Mythical Grade Beast indeed could not be underestimated,”

Randy muttered in a low voice before disappearing into the tree shadow. He was going back to where the Crimson Princess was waiting for him.

Currently, the Crimson Princess was killing the survived King Grade Beast. She was idle as Randy scouted for the Mythical Grade Beast, so while waiting for Randy came back, she was hunting the survived the King Grade beast.

”Hey, I found them,” Randy suddenly appeared behind Audrey and spoke, startling the Crimson Princess.

Crimson Princess unwittingly flicked her spear to her back, but fortunately Randy raised his sword, blocking the spear before saying in displeasure, ”Hey, it's me!”

Crimson Princess realized she was overreacting, but of course, she didn't she was wrong. She snorted at Randy, ”Hmph, it was your fault. Why do you startle? You deserve it,”

After over half month interaction with her, Randy already knew Crimson Princess' nature well. So he didn't argue about it, only shaking his head, ”Let's go, I found a group of beastmen,”

Hearing Randy found the beastmen, Crimson Princess' eyes shone, ”Where are they? Let's hurry, lead the way!” She was so eager to hunt the Mythical Grade Beast of beastmen and immediately ordered Randy to lead the way with her bossy attitude.

Randy had nothing to say about this, he led the way to the south. After a few minutes, they caught up with the group of the four Mythical Grade Beast.
