Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 302 - 127: Exploration Complete, Moving to Divine Wood Hall

Chapter 302: Chapter 127: Exploration Complete, Moving to Divine Wood Hall

Gongshan Jun is dead, and all the demon hunters remain silent.

The Ninth Grade, the Eighth Grade, do not dare to speak.

The Seventh Grade knows that Gongshan Jun pointed out a wrong path leading to death, perhaps this was his way of seeking death, so what is there to say?

But the question is, how did this person know?

More importantly, what will they face?

Fight?

Not realistic.

The old monster who looked like a young man had not yet arrived, but only used pebbles to instantly crush them, and with an incredibly precise control.

He merely injured each person, but did not kill.

It must be known that among these people there were Ninth Grade, Eighth Grade, and Seventh Grade, each different.

This indicates he had to instantly assess each person’s strength and apply an appropriate attack.

Such a skill is even more terrifying than his ability to instantly crush the crowd.

So terrifying that it leaves no room for resistance in one’s heart.

At this moment, Li Yuan glanced at the fresh, still not completely dead Sixth Grade corpse on the ground, then at Tang Nian.

Tang Nian bit her lip, staring dazedly at Gongshan Jun’s body, her fingers drooping at the side of her pants trembling slightly.

Li Yuan gave his adopted daughter a deep look, and after scanning over the demon hunters behind her, he said out loud: "Follow me back first."

The demon hunters dared not speak more and followed Li Yuan back to the settlement step by step.

Tang Nian did not leave.

She understood her adoptive father’s intentions.

Or rather, this was her adoptive father letting her make her own choice.

She stood silently by the wild road at the entrance of a mountain path, glanced at the corpse, then slightly turned to look at the puppet Tang Chou, and then at the figure of her already distant adoptive father.

The floating clouds in the sky drifted leisurely, today was a fine day.

The short-haired girl’s lips tried to curl into a smile, but it was quickly submerged.

She made a decision.

Opened the box,

held the knife,

and took out a small box specifically for storing demon beast hearts,

then squatted by the Sixth Grade Martial Artist’s corpse.

The tip of the knife precisely cut away the excess flesh,

and the girl’s hands began to be stained with hot, fresh blood.

...

A moment later, the tent flap was lifted, and the girl in white clothes followed by the large puppet walked into Li Yuan’s tent.

Her hands were still dripping with blood.

Her face looked somewhat unwell.

Killing and extracting hearts are two different things.

She could control the puppet to casually kill those vicious bandits, but extracting a heart...required overcoming a psychological barrier.

"Father..."

Tang Chou lowered her head, her voice somewhat hoarse.

But in the next moment, when she raised her head again, she grinned brightly, revealing a radiant smile, "I’m back.

The heart has been secured, now prepare a new set of materials for a Sixth Grade Puppet for me..."

Li Yuan stood up, wanting to hold his adopted daughter’s hand, but realizing she looked almost his age, he refrained, and instead said: "Your hands are dirty, just wash them clean."

"And if the heart...is dirty?" Tang Nian asked suddenly.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while, then said: "Honestly, have you been sneaking a peek at your brother’s ’The Chronicles of the Knight’?"

Tang Nian was taken aback, her expression strange as she said: "Father, how did you know?"

Li Yuan said speechlessly: "Otherwise, how could you say such words?"

Tang Nian: ...

Li Yuan asked: "Did you search the corpse?"

Tang Nian: ???

Li Yuan said: "Meaning the items in the chest, in this kind of tent settlement unlike a house, items should all be carried on their person."

Tang Nian nodded and said: "I didn’t find anything in his chest, but...when I was dissecting, besides the smell of blood, I also noticed a faint fragrance."

"Fragrance?"

"Like a floral scent."

Li Yuan furrowed his brows slightly.

And Tang Nian and the puppet Tang Chou stood behind Li Yuan.

This time out for training, from the moment she got off the carriage to now, it had only been a couple of days.

Yet in these couple of days, she had gained much, and her mindset was changing.

A moment later, a rugged man stepped in, knelt respectfully by Li Yuan’s side, and said: "Master."

This person was called "Mu Gou the Fourth", why he had such a strange name, Li Yuan did not know...

For these demon hunters without a registered name, their surnames were so carefree and unrestrained.

Mu Gou the Fourth had roughly told him everything.

Gongshan Jun was the leader of this small settlement, and he was the second-in-command.

This demon hunter settlement was not large, and for the usual hunting, they only hunted at a few fixed points and dared not go to the Sunset Rain Plain.

As for family members or concubines, none of these people had any.

If they wanted to have some fun, they would bring money to the nearby county, indulge in good food and drink, hire a few beautiful women, and have some fun for a few days until they got tired of it.

And the cultivation skill they practiced was actually taken from the "Mountain Gang" in the neighboring Qiutang County.

In fact, they themselves were basically people who had split off from the "Mountain Gang" long ago.

Regarding this "Mountain Gang," Li Yuan also knew; that was the force wiped out seven years ago by the chaotic army led by General Gu Xiang and Zhao Xiantong.

Mu Gou the Fourth continued speaking...

They were people of the "Mountain Gang," but Gongshan Jun was an outsider.

The demon hunter job was something he started up.

Now that he was dead, Mu Gou the Fourth would inherit his business, but the locations for capturing demon beasts would be further retracted to the outskirts...

"In the future, won’t it be impossible to hunt Seventh Grade Demon Beasts?" Li Yuan asked.

Mu Gou the Fourth replied respectfully: "Reporting to Master, it won’t be.

Because whether or not Gongshan Jun is here doesn’t affect us much.

We rely on poison.

Although the poison formula was brought by Gongshan Jun, with the materials, we can all make it."

Saying this, Mu Gou the Fourth handed a scroll of parchment to Li Yuan, saying: "Master, this poison is called Ghost Fragrance."
