Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

"There's really no injury at all." After feeling up and down through the clothes, Jiu Yue came to a surprising conclusion.

Being hit by the level 25 Fire Blade Dragon's skill "Fire Blast" and still remaining unscathed is obviously incredible from a normal human perspective.

Don’t be fooled by Xingjian’s appearance as a petite and cute silver-haired beauty.

Top-notch strength, top-notch speed, plus top-notch defense.

What kind of terrifying panel is this for triple A strength, speed, and body?

"Sure enough, people should not be judged by their appearance."

Jiu Yue used her sleeve to help wipe the blood off Xing Jian's face. Looking at this harmless and cute face, it was hard to imagine that the guy in front of her had just jumped out of the flames and killed a level 25 monster with his own hands.

"What should we do with the prey? Should we drag the whole thing back like we did with the wild boar before?" Xingjian asked.

"There's no need to drag this large prey back in its entirety; it's a waste of effort. Just refer to the Hunting Manual and skin it for its valuables."

Although it takes some time to peel the materials by yourself, it is still more convenient than dragging a several-ton blade dragon back to the village.

"Wait, that's a waste of time!"

Jiu Yue suddenly remembered something important and quickly pulled out the short knife from his waist for peeling the materials.

"We have to move quickly, Xingjian, follow my instructions and start peeling the valuable ones first!"

"Why are you so impatient all of a sudden?"

"If we delay for too long, it might get very troublesome later."

After saying that, Jiu Yue picked up the dagger and chopped at the connection of the blade that looked the most valuable.

"Stop! Spare the dragon!"

The trouble that September was most worried about finally came.

Two people rushed out of the forest, one man and one woman, both fully armed and panting heavily, obviously running wildly.

The man was a young man who looked about the same age as September. He wore heavy black steel armor, which should be a defensive-type armed card. Combined with the battle axe in his hand that was as tall as his own, he looked quite imposing.

The girl's appearance was quite unique. No special weapons were visible, only a light blue fabric covering her petite body. And the pair of nimble, dancing white cat ears on her tender face particularly caught her attention.

You know, Hoshigami is rarely attracted by things.

"That's our prey!"

After calming his breath and raising the battle axe in his hand, the man suddenly began to "claim sovereignty".

"Tsk." Jiu Yue glanced away, smacked her lips in dissatisfaction, and then retorted: "You said it's yours, so it's yours. Is your name written on it?"

"Riko!" The man gestured to the cat-eared girl beside him.

"Understood~ Takehito." The cat-eared girl called Riko smiled and pulled out a card from the card box tied to her inner thigh.

The same card that Xingjian had used before.

[Tracker's Light]

"The light guides our way forward, meow~"

The moment Riko took out the card, a fluorescent tail clearly appeared on the body of the dead Fire Blade Dragon.

It's just that the color is a little darker than the star-viewing mark.

"We were the first to track down this Flamingo Dragon," Wu Ren said seriously, "but we were halfway through the fight when it escaped."

"It's all your fault, Takehito, because of this equipment. It's really slowing you down, meow!" Riko complained.

It turns out that the "round-robin battle" mentioned by the Firebird Dragon before was that he first fought with these two people and then escaped.

It’s no wonder that the original bird dragon failed to fully demonstrate the strength of its level 15 hunting skill.

Wu Rendao said, "According to Article 3 of Section 2 of the Hunter's Manual issued by the Hunter's Guild, interrupting and killing a monster during a hunt is considered unfair competition. Ultimately, ownership of the monster shall belong to the person who first marked the monster."

"Tsk!" Jiu Yue smacked her lips in displeasure again.

Obviously, Jiu Yue knew the contents of the "Hunter's Manual" that Wu Ren mentioned better than anyone else, but she just deliberately ignored it.

"So, September, this Flamingo Dragon belongs to us."

"September?" Hearing the other party call her by her name, Xingjian suddenly felt curious: "Do they know you?"

Jiu Yue sneered, "Haha, it's from the neighboring Yunlan Village. The two villages don't like each other, so they often fight over prey. I'm almost used to it."

After Hoshimi spoke, Takehito and Riko noticed at the same time that September, who always kept to himself, was accompanied by someone today.

Although her clothes were stained with blood and even her long silver hair was stained with bright red blood, it did not affect her extraordinary beauty that was enough to amaze people at first sight.

"Cute, meow." Riko said.

Hidden by his heavy armor, Wu Ren blushed, then he cleared his throat awkwardly, his tone becoming much more serious.

"Watch your words, September. This isn't a fight over prey. We were the ones who marked this Flamingo Dragon first. What you're doing is a blatant act of persecution. But..."

Taking a look at the dirt on Xingjian's body, Wu Ren roughly guessed that the girl in front of him must have been beaten badly in order to hunt the Flamingo Dragon, and she was too embarrassed to say anything absolute.

"However, since you have contributed, even if the prey belongs to me, I can give you some of the materials."

"Takehito, you have a fever, meow?" Riko's kitten face was filled with shock. "Your face is so red, your brain is not normal. You are actually willing to share your prey with Yunxue Village."

Due to some historical reasons, Yunxue Village and Yunlan Village have been hostile to each other for forty years. The people in the village can be said to be incompatible.

Normally, let alone sharing the prey, the villagers on both sides, especially the older generation, would rather hunt each other as prey.

No wonder Riko made that shocked kitten face.

What else could he do? He was simply attracted by her beauty. Jiuyue saw it much more clearly than Liko.

"Although you sound very righteous, my answer is, I refuse!"

"September, are you planning to play rogue?"

"Are you playing rogue or not? Take a closer look for yourself. Which prey did you just say you were marking?"

"Nonsense, of course it's the Flamingo Dragon."

"Dissent!!" Jiu Yue raised her arms: "Then open your eyes and take a closer look. What kind of dragon is this?"

"No matter how I look at it, it's still Huo Lie... Wait?"

Jiu Yue’s strong attitude forced Wu Ren to confirm again what this guy was up to.

It would have been fine if I hadn't looked at it, but once I did, even Riko next to me had a puzzled look on her face.

This is not a hunting level 15 Flamingo Dragon, but a hunting level 25 Flame Blade Dragon.

"What does the Flamingo Dragon you hunt have to do with us, the Flame Blade Dragon?"

September's sophistry.

I have to say, the effect is outstanding.

Wu Ren was really scared.

Of course, anyone can guess that this Fire Blade Dragon must be an evolved mutated Flamingo Dragon.

However, the hunting level of the Blade Dragon is level 25.

If he were to be honest, Wu Ren didn't think he could successfully hunt level 25 prey.

Even if the hunt was successful, it would not be as easy as it is now in September.

"When did you become so strong?"

"Haha, if you're scared, just go back and drink your milk~"

The taunting was at its maximum, even if it was just a show of force, it finally made Jiu Yue feel really good in front of the neighboring village.

Of course, September’s ridicule is not just about showing off.

The two villages have been fighting each other for so long, she knows Wu Ren's character too well.

The first letter of that guy's name is enough to fully summarize his character.

He is a martial arts fanatic who pursues greater power. He worships and admires the strong, and wants to become stronger than anyone else.

How could Wu Ren, who has such a strong self-esteem, allow Jiu Yue, who he has been fighting with since childhood, to suddenly and inexplicably leave him so far behind?

"Well, since we can't reach a conclusion through argument, let's just follow the village rules."

Wu Ren threw the battle axe in his hand to the ground.

"Idiot, you've been fooled~" Jiu Yue showed a smile of success.

In fact, according to the regulations in the Hunter's Manual of the Hunter's Guild, Jiuyue and Xingjian may not be able to obtain the material of the Flamingo Dragon.

But if we follow the rules of the two villages, it would be much simpler and more brutal.

The two villages have rules that have been passed down from a long time ago.

Even if they dislike each other, humans must work together to face the threat of monsters.

When an argument cannot lead to a direct solution, the most primitive solution is adopted.

Takehito removed the heavy armor of his jet-black armor and assumed a fighting stance using only his physical body.

"It's been a while since I've fought you, September. This time, I'll use combat to decide who owns the prey!"

The most primitive way to solve the problem is to fight each other.

No weapons or cards allowed.

The winner is determined by pure physical strength, and only the winner is worthy of taking the prey.

What? You said there is a gap in physical fitness between men and women, which is not fair.

Please, in this world, survival is the most important thing. Who cares about gender differences? There are also many top-tier female hunters.

"Okay, I accept this solution. But..."

September's black eyes turned cunningly, as if she had already seen someone's miserable end.

"It's just that the hunt just now has drained too much of my energy. I have to find someone else to fight you."

"Change someone?" Wu Ren frowned.

"Xingjian, I leave it to you. I'll treat you to a good meal tonight~"

"Me?" Xingjian pointed at himself with a confused look on his face.

Chapter 18: The New Year's bell rings

"I?"

"she?"

"=w= meow?"

The other three people, except Jiu Yue, expressed their doubts at the same time.

Looking at the dust and blood on Xingjian's cheeks that had not been completely wiped clean, and her somewhat miserable and pitiful appearance, Wu Ren was speechless for a moment.

Doesn't this make me a bully?

Or are you still betting on me and not daring to make a move?

Wu Ren gritted his teeth and said, “Jiuyue, it’s been a long time since we last met, and you are still so despicable.”

"Despicable? You seem to have misunderstood. I'm not asking you to go easy on me. On the contrary...if you don't take it seriously, you'll be beaten to a pulp."

"Meatmeat meow?"

The white cat ears stood up in fear. Riko found it hard to imagine that Hoshimi, who was almost as thin as herself, beat Takehito into a pulp.

And Xingjian's attention was once again attracted by the erect cat ears.

What is this wonderful feeling?

There is a very primitive impulse.

"Don't be distracted, Xingjian." Jiuyue reminded: "If you don't pay attention, you might accidentally kill that guy, and it will be very troublesome to clean up."

Wu Ren, whose veins were throbbing as he pursued the martial arts of the strong, felt that he was being humiliated again and again by Jiu Yue in front of him.
