All my hunting commissions come from another world?

Zhou Si's smile gradually turned wicked; it seemed his guess was correct.

Chapter Twenty-One: This thing is still the best.

Herrschers, messengers of Honkai, are generally transformed from humans with a high degree of adaptability to Honkai energy. In addition to having the ability to create and command Honkai Beasts, each Herrscher also possesses unique exclusive powers.

To put it bluntly, they are just large-scale laborers chosen by Honkai.

While the Honkai is powerful, it is not omnipotent. Herrschers transformed from humans have a theoretical upper limit; no matter how strong a Herrscher is, it cannot be stronger than the Honkai itself.

They need mana to use their skills, and they will die if they are killed.

At that moment, the Herrscher of Thunder suddenly realized that her mana bar was almost empty.

This would be impossible under normal circumstances. The birth of a Herrscher is accompanied by powerful Honkai energy, or rather, a Herrscher can only be born in places where Honkai energy is abundant. Apart from the Honkai energy replenished by the Herrscher's core linked to the Imaginary Core, this Honkai energy floating in the air is her greatest arsenal.

The Herrscher of Thunder had only been born for less than half a day. She was underdeveloped and had also experienced a fierce battle with the Thunder Dragon. Before that, she was able to freely mobilize the Honkai energy around her to launch attacks.

But now that this space has been divided, she has lost her biggest source of Honkai energy and can only fight by relying on the Honkai energy obtained from the imaginary space through the Herrscher core.

The same applies to the Thunder Dragon on the other side, but it is still better than the Herrscher of Thunder, since its fighting style does not rely solely on lightning.

Taking advantage of her weakness, Zhou Si had no intention of giving the Herrscher of Thunder time to recover; the greatest threat at present remained the Herrscher of Thunder.

The Herrscher of Thunder's recovery speed has just slowed down; she's not out of mana. If she's given time to recover, then all the advantages he's worked so hard to gain will be for nothing.

At this moment, Alicia no longer held back, and crystal arrows rained down like a storm. After receiving Zhou Si's confirmation, Alicia was no longer worried about accidentally hurting him.

Zhou Si raised his sword and lunged forward, slashing at the Herrscher of Thunder.

While fending off Alicia's attacks, the Herrscher of Thunder unleashed a bolt of lightning at Zhou Si, attempting to force him back.

Zhou Si had witnessed the power of the lightning before, but at this moment he chose not to dodge or avoid it, and instead crashed straight into it.

"What?!!"

Before the Herrscher of Lightning could react to the sight of Zhou Si being struck by lightning, she witnessed a scene that left her speechless.

The lightning was flowing through Zhou Si's body, but instead of causing him much harm, it adhered to his body like an outer armor, forming a layer of 'lightning armor'.

Only then did the Herrscher of Thunder notice that a layer of earth-yellow armor had appeared on Zhou Si's body at some point, and her lightning was flowing through the gaps in that armor.

This is what Zhou Si asked the lone bird to deliver—the battery casing of the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Zhou Si couldn't help but thank his dear teacher and best friend once again in his heart. Even the lightning of the Herrscher of Thunder was mostly absorbed by the electric shell on his body, and he was able to withstand the remaining lightning with his physical strength.

The only downside is the texture of the battery casing; it's too hard on your teeth to chew on.

At this moment, Zhou Si had already arrived in front of the Herrscher of Thunder, raising his greatsword and attempting to cut her in two from the neck.

The Herrscher of Thunder could only continue to draw upon the little remaining Honkai energy in the Herrscher Core to block Zhou Si's sword strike.

Seeing the greatsword stopped in front of the Herrscher of Thunder, Zhou Si had no intention of pressing his advantage and immediately withdrew after failing to strike.

You should know that there is a ferocious beast here, always eyeing the Herrscher of Thunder, this piece of fat meat.

The moment Zhou Si left, the Thunder Dragon's claws came crashing down, but this time the Herrscher of Thunder had no extra strength to interrupt the dragon's charge.

At the last moment, it barely managed to protect its body with Honkai energy. The Thunder Dragon's claws slammed solidly into the Herrscher of Thunder, and the immense force sent the Herrscher of Thunder flying.

The dragon immediately tried to catch up and devour the delicious food, but Zhou Si, who had been watching it closely, would not let it have its way. At this moment, stimulated by the lightning armor, its speed and strength were further enhanced.

Standing on the trajectory of the Tigrex's chariot, Zhou Si swung his greatsword from bottom to top, firmly blocking the Tigrex's gaping maw, leaving two long tracks on the ground with his legs.

The greatsword made a teeth-grinding scraping sound under the Tigrex's sharp teeth. The already battered training greatsword was finally about to give way. Cracks appeared on the steel blade as Zhou Si struggled with the Tigrex.

"Stop the fucking thing!"

Amidst the lightning, beneath the thick battery casing, Zhou Si's veins bulged as he used all his strength to forcefully stop the dragon's chariot.

But at the same time, the greatsword finally shattered.

Without any support, the Thunder Dragon opened its mouth wide, trying to bite Zhou Si.

The sharp teeth were about to crush Zhou Si's upper body when, at this critical moment, Zhou Si seemed to remember something, and his expression froze.

At this moment, Zhou Si finally remembered how he used to hunt.

Yeah, I've only been learning for two days, why would I need to use a greatsword for hunting?

Looking at the gaping maw that was about to bite him, Zhou Si revealed a somewhat ferocious smile.

His armor had slightly receded, his throat was slightly raised, and through his skin, one could see some kind of hot substance surging beneath.

The next moment, a burst of scorching dragon flame shot out from Zhou Si's mouth and poured into the mouth of the Thunder Dragon.

The dragon flames, reaching thousands of degrees, surged into the unsuspecting body of the Thunder Dragon. The flames instantly cooked the inside of its fragile mouth, and the intense pain drove the Thunder Dragon to try to move its head away from Zhou Si.

But Zhou Si grabbed the dragon's teeth, preventing it from escaping until the dragon flame in the fire bag was completely emptied.

Then he wrapped his arms around the Tigrex's neck and slammed it away.

The Thunder Dragon, severely injured, collapsed to the ground in agony. Zhou Si coughed up several pieces of blackened charcoal, his throat scorched by the dragon flames. This was the first time he had ever breathed fire like this.

Fortunately, he is a sports student and has a strong recovery ability.

Meanwhile, Alicia finished off the Herrscher of Thunder. Zhou Si looked at the Herrscher of Thunder, who was now riddled with crystal arrows, and turned to walk towards the Thunder Dragon.

At this moment, the Tigrex lay on the ground, barely alive. Even the strongest individual could not withstand its internal organs being burned to a crisp, especially since there was no Honkai energy here to repair its body.

Unless Alicia stuffs the core of the Herrscher of Thunder into the mouth of the Thunder Dragon.

But this is obviously impossible.

After finishing off the Tigrex, Zhou Si finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The battle is complete. Thank you for your hard work, Master, meow."

At this moment, Bai also jumped out, excitedly congratulating his master. Before even becoming a formal hunter, he had already defeated such a terrifying special species, Tigrex. Master is indeed a genius!

It had been waiting around for its master's command, and if Zhou Si and the others couldn't quickly deal with either the Herrscher of Thunder or the Tigrex, the numerous hunting traps it had set up here would come in handy.

Although I am extremely tired, it is not time to rest yet.

Zhou Si didn't even acknowledge Alicia, who had just walked over.

The first thing to do after a hunt is, of course, to gather the materials!

Chapter Twenty-Two: Praise to Ms. Alicia, Love Gate!

"Unfortunately, many parts were overcooked."

Zhou Si was somewhat disappointed as he extracted materials from this special species of Tigrex. The temperature of the dragon flames was simply too high, and its internal body was already completely burned.

Fortunately, the material on its body surface was well preserved, and Zhou Si even discovered a very rare reverse scale.

Besides, its fully evolved scales and lightning-carrying claws are extremely valuable materials. Taking them back might allow the guild's blacksmith to forge some incredible equipment.

Wait, won't his hunting in this other world be considered poaching?

Zhou Si looked at her cat with a conflicted expression, but thankfully she got a negative answer from it.

"No, meow. All the requests posted in the Hunter's Book are approved by the guild. And if you want to have equipment crafted, just come to me, meow!"

Bai patted his chest and then pulled out a small hammer from who-knows-where.

"you?"

"Yes, meow. In the process of searching for my master, I learned a lot of knowledge from other members of my kind, meow."

Zhou Si was immediately filled with respect. He had always regarded Bai as a mascot, but now, thinking back, it seemed that his cat knew quite a lot.

Not only can he play the flute, set traps, and provide combat support, but he can even craft equipment now.

"Just wondering, do you know how to cook cat food?"

"Ah, isn't this an essential skill for Palicoes?"

Bai Lu revealed an innocent look in its eyes, but at this moment, Zhou Si's expression towards it had completely changed.

"Lord Bai, I apologize for my previous offense."

Zhou Si clasped her hands together and bowed sincerely to her cat, Elu, almost startling Bai.

"Zhou Si, Zhou Si, are you taking materials from this big guy?"

Alicia's voice came from the side. The device was still working and the space was still sealed off. She had nothing else to do but join in the fun.

Zhou Si nodded; there was no point in hiding it.

But then Alicia seemed to recall something and pointed to the dragon corpse on the ground at Zhou Si.

"Could we keep just a little bit? Just a little bit will do."

"I promised Dr. Mebius that I would bring this big guy's body to her."

"Of course you can, I can't take such a big body back with me."

Zhou Si nodded nonchalantly. Alicia had also contributed greatly to this hunt; without her help, Zhou Si's chances of killing the Herrscher of Thunder and the Tigrex would have been extremely slim.

"Zhou Si, Zhou Si, want to chat? I'm really curious about your world~"

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Alicia wanted to get to know her friend from another world better. She found a rock of suitable height and sat down next to Zhou Si, looking at him with great curiosity.

Upon hearing Ellie's words, Zhou Si paused for a moment, but ultimately nodded in response to her smile.

Then, while cutting up what looked like usable materials, Zhou Si told Alicia about her experiences in the New World over the past three years.

"So Zhou Si didn't live in that world at the beginning?"

"Zhou Si is really amazing. She was able to live in that kind of environment for so long. If it were me, I would go crazy from loneliness after being alone for so long."

Listening to Zhou Si's experiences over the past three years, Aili's eyes were filled with admiration. Although Zhou Si spoke of it casually, Aili could tell from his description just how difficult a time he had gone through.

My new friend is really amazing.

Looking at Ai Li's sincere expression, Zhou Si scratched his head a little embarrassedly. It was the first time he had been praised so sincerely.

Moreover, after telling Ai Li about her experiences, Zhou Si's negative emotions, which had been building up in her heart, dissipated somewhat.

That's why he told Ellie all this; the torment of those days couldn't be explained in just a few words.

Since leaving the New World, he was eager to integrate into the new environment, but due to his lack of common sense and the fact that he hadn't communicated with others for too long, Zhou Si caused quite a bit of trouble.

This meant that although he always appeared cheerful and carefree, he was under considerable pressure.

So he needs someone to listen to his complaints. The caged bird is a hunter with a brooding personality. Although it seems to have been corrupted by him recently, it is clearly not a suitable person to confide in.

But Alicia in front of him was clearly a good choice, not only because of his understanding of this girl in his previous life, but more importantly because he would have to go back after completing this mission, and whether they would be able to meet again afterward was a question.

He can express his emotions without much burden.

"Let me tell you, the most annoying thing is that Bazelgeuse."

"At least the loofah knows to roar twice when it's on duty, but this thing scatters its scales before we even see the dragon's shadow."

"That's quite a bad guy."

Zhou Si poured out her grievances to Alicia, wanting to vent all the grievances she had suffered in the New World over the years. Alicia, being very perceptive, echoed Zhou Si's emotions.

"call--"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I got a little emotional."

"It's okay, Ellie, I'm very happy right now!"

This woman is being a bit unfair.

Zhou Si blushed and turned her head away to avoid Ai Li's gaze.

It has to be said that there is a reason why so many people like Alicia. In real life, it is indeed hard not to develop a liking for such a beautiful and sincere girl.

"Yeah, what is this?"

While Zhou Si was feeling shy, Ai Li suddenly exclaimed and reached out to pull out what she had found from the pile of charred remains inside the Thunder Dragon's body.

Upon hearing Ai Li's voice, Zhou Si subconsciously turned around and saw the sparkling jade in Ai Li's hand.

Zhou Si rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He had searched for so long but had not found any trace of the jade.

"You and I..."

Zhou Si pointed tremblingly at Ai Li, then at herself, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

The good feelings I had just developed for Alicia vanished instantly.
