Chapter One Hundred and Nine
"A guy who sneakily squatted around while I was working - excuse me, are you a man or a woman?" Amphinis walked up to him with her hands outstretched, "I don't believe you're 'innocent' if you don't intend to come forward and communicate with me afterwards." Pen? Interesting?

"You can trust me." The mysterious man said firmly, "I'm only here to ......"
"Whoosh!"
Before he could finish speaking, the boomerang in Amphinis's hand suddenly burst out without warning, hitting his opponent's face directly. The mysterious man who was talking was unexpected, and hurriedly turned sideways. In this brief moment, the dwarf Elu cat stepped forward, leaping high, and slapped the top of the mysterious man's helmet with a fleshy palm.
Amphinis's thin body erupted with great power, and the hunter shrouded in armor fell in response, and even the most cautious he could not have imagined that the head of the Twins, who had long been famous among hunters, would do such a sneak attack.
Ai Lu stepped on the mysterious man's precious armor with one foot, reached out and grabbed the giant dart that flew back, and with a flip of his wrist, he rested on the mysterious man's neck: "The question time starts now, I will ask the question, you will answer, what do you think?" β
"You don't dare to kill me." The mysterious man still had an indifferent and calm expression, but anyone could see that it was just trying to calm down, "You are a hunter, and you have the glory of a hunter." β
"Bullshit Hunter Glory!" Amphinis spat with a big grin, her two locks of beard trembling slightly, "What do you think I got to where I am today?" Be a model old man? "When I was young, they called me the Second Ancestor, and I was a gentleman, and here are the barren mountains and mountainsβI don't think the life of a nobody is as good as the name of the Black Star Twins, don't you think?" β
It's better to meet than to be famous, and the mysterious man never expected that the famous freelance hunter would be such a character who didn't follow the routine, and he sighed secretly: "That's it, if you want to kill me today, just do it here." β
"No, I don't want to." Amphinis put away the giant boomerang that was placed around the other man's neck, "I just have some questions, and I think you seem to have the answers I want." β
The mystery man was silent.
"Don't think about running away." Anfei pulled back one foot from him, "Don't think about 'crushing fangs'." He jokingly said, "I have some unfinished hunting props, and it just so happens that I need 'human' materials to make them." β
The man's face under the mask smiled bitterly, and said, "Don't worry, I don't have the confidence to run away from you yet." He unconsciously used the honorific, "Besides, I can't die." My face and identity are important resources in the hands of my boss, and if I lose them casually, I think he will not be happy. β
"Now that we've reached a consensus," Anfinis said playfully, "then answer me some questions as agreed, and let's start with 'Who's your boss?' β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Are we out of the range of the beast tide?" Pushing aside a patch of grass, Kuma Fuji saw the path out of the valley.
"I don't know." Jia Xiao stretched out his hand, "There is no slogan of 'the end of the beast tide' here." β
"We're still moving forward, and we can't take it lightly if we don't see the union's defense." Shentu Miaoling said.
Ten minutes had already passed, but Luo Pingyang did not answer them as the girl expected. The three teenagers had no choice but to grit their teeth and break out on their own. Fortunately, the instructors have already led the trainee hunters to complete most of the journey, and the last kilometer can be said to be thrilling.
This path is the only way out of the valley, and it is from here that the supply wagons go on weekdays, and all the students are brought in from this road. The three trainee hunters sighed at this, it had been more than a month since they had been sent into the valley, and this was the second time they had seen the path to civilization.
"Hopefully, these brutes haven't broken through the union's defenses yet - if the Hunters' Guild does send someone." Jia Xiao said in a strange tone, he fumbled in his pocket, fortunately, there were two candy sticks, he picked one up, and chewed it as if no one was around.
"Whoosh!" With a bang, a small thing shot out of nowhere, not very powerful, hit the ground in front of Jia Xiao, and only raised a small pinch of dust.
The sudden attack caused the boy to reflexively raise the sword on his back, but his mouth opened in shock, and the candy stick that he had just tasted fell to the ground.
The reaction of his companion was much faster, and Xiong Fuji had already picked up the square giant shield and raised it in the direction of the attack, and the body cat was behind the support, looking vigilantly into the distance.
"Not a monster." After the first two seconds of tension, the girl's hand holding the bow was lowered, "It's a ballista bullet." β
Monsters' ranged attacks with brute force are either large and heavy objects, or they have the effect of burning and corrosive, and it is almost impossible for beasts to throw small objects at super high speeds due to the way they exert their power.
"Guild hunters! We're safe! Jia Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, strode over the candy bar he had fallen to the ground, and was about to walk in the direction of the attack.
"Wait!" Xiong Fuji stopped him, he was the only one of the three teenagers who was the son of a free hunter, and he learned a lot about the rules of the union from his parents, "They are warning us that we have not yet been recognized as 'harmless'." β
"What do you say? Aren't we trainee hunters? Jia Xiao was puzzled, but his feet stopped.
"Holding a weapon to attack the defense line of the beast tide for no reason is also a big crime." Xiong Fuji grinned, and the shield and spear in his hand were put back on his body, "Let's just stand here and wait for the other party to investigate." β
Jia Xiao also understands that when the merchants are running around, they will also meet hunters on the trade routes to investigate. Most of them are to prevent the entry of infectious diseases or threatening organisms, and occasionally there are inspections for contraband and controlled materials, and in general, as long as there is no movement in the caravan, there will be no trouble.
"Put your weapon on the ground, your hand up!" A voice in the distance reached everyone's ears through a loudspeaker device, "Report your identity!" β
"What, it's like surrendering." Jia Xiao muttered, but still reported his identity as expected, "East Acropolis Valley Training Camp, trainee hunter, Jia Xiao." β
"Trainee hunter, Xiong Fuji."
"Trainee hunter, Shentu Miaoling."
After the sound of the rope, three hunters came out of the shadow, led by a man of medium stature, carrying a standard light crossbow with a long back, from which the bullets had been fired for the demonstration.
"Two kilometers ahead is the Beast Tide Zone, this is the blockade line set up by the Hunters' Union, how did you get here?" The man asked.
"From there," Jia Xiao nodded into the valley, "we came out of the valley." β
"You three little kids?" The hunter who asked the question had a strange face, "Traveled through the entire beast tide zone?" β
"Pretty much." Xiong Fuji was noncommittal.
