My Last Hunt

Silver Class 30

"I will head back to Hightown"

They all stood their ears up hearing the answer of the team leader. "My stay in the island only limited till the level six peak; right after I will leave for the Hightown. I have some urgent matters at hand which demands not to look for the sources separately so probably I will accumulate during normal hunts." Qiao spoke honestly. Leading a team was solely increasing the pace of hunting and adding experience. He also took care when he selected team members avoiding the slackers and those who can create hindrance in the hunting. 

This went with his actions as well. He cannot take hunters that go against the orders. He knew that his guidance in every hunt happened to be tough and following it was hard. However there was no carved path; there was no easy feat ready for him. His attentions were fixated for the top level and his pace. Now there was another concern in front of him. He wanted to increase the grade of his rush skill. There were two methods for tempering it for the peak grade. Search the Hightown market and buy the stone. The second solution was tougher; hunt a monster that happened to be famous for its rush skill but the question was how he could hunt a monster when he cannot compete with the pace of the monster. 

The team members heard his words and turned silent. This means the team leader would leave early. Now there were two choices for them; one that they shall also go back. After getting into some team they again visit the island and follow the instructions of the new team leader or find a fourth team members and someone among the three should become the team leader. Both choices have their consequences. 

Qiao could understand their concerns; he just cannot do anything. He was fortunate that after the team broke he was able to meet the present team members in a single day. There was someone keeping eyes and searching for Qiao; the team leader which was assigned the Hunting School. He was searching Qiao because Qiao offended the team leader seriously entirely ignoring his orders. In fact he spent whole previous day in searching yet could not find because Qiao and his team inside the crater. Today it was mess going in the island and they were hiding. 

The sole purpose was to surround the haughty hunter and break his legs for venting out the resentment. This was the only plan of the previous team leader. Qiao has increased the list of his so called 'well wishers' so he was expecting them appear any time soon just that he wished going back before the time comes. "Keep the same attitude against hunting and I am sure the present pace would not face backlash as long as you are ambitious." He advised. Kala and this huntress were the same. They wanted steady flow in gaining from the hunting. 

For everyone wishing this steadiness must have to go through just like Qiao. He did not care that the team leader would mind a grudge against him. He did not care who will become his enemy on this path; there were lot of ways for getting such sours of life. Some of them already lost their lives; they were punished according for coming in his way. Killing few others would not bring much change unless it stands against his aim. "I will follow your words and would not leave until I reach the peak of level six." Kala spoke determined. 

Lama Lu silently heard and nodded. Time will decide what will be her next steps. Kaili did not interfere because she will be going back after the team no more remains the same. She was tired of facing much and wanted some rest. The night was so much peaceful that they could not believe whether it was still part of the open forest and the island. The human towns also present the same picture when in night. They less likely wander in the night. For those who wander in the night despite warnings; they were taken as the enemies by the hunter guards. 

The huge walls built for the safety of the towns were guarded by the retired hunters of the same town. Compared the open forest bustle with the howling of the monsters in the night; they scared the humans with this method. Here it seemed none of the monster wanted to follow this tradition. They were silent. Qiao was alert before however after some time he relaxed knowing that the monsters perhaps did not want to disturbance by themselves. It was good because previous night was ruined by the filial monsters. They kept chasing them until they were thrown in the swamp though Qiao took avenge for this. 

The team of the previous team leader was near this part of the island. After spending they were planning searching this last part and later abandon the thought for chase. Qiao was thinking spending two days here if the monsters here would give more experience points with some perks. He could decide after knowing the monster race living in this part of the island. It would be great if he could hunt the specific type of monsters. He knew that he could single handedly hunt that specific monster as long as he could spot one of them. 

Killing that monster will help him increase the present grade of his skill; with this he could be considered a perfect candidate for the Class Test. Without going through this Class Test he cannot gain the identity of Level Seven Hunter. If the Hightown appointed toward a long distance place for the class test then he will be doomed. Taking journey of weeks was not under his choice and means. It will ruin his planning for the level up as well as saving time. Qiao did not want it happen. He will definitely search the specific monster in his best.
