Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1151: The Senior Hunters Arrived

Sigh!

As for Zheng-Fu, he did not want to follow the three protectors and their underlings. He did not want to attract too much attention since many uninvited guests gathered there. So, he chose to land on the ground and sit cross-legged to recover his energy.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

But at that time, Quan-Song's group soared in and stopped not far in front of him. In that group were also the senior hunters from the Sun Moon Forest Branch Hunter Guild.

"Younger Brother Zheng-Fu, are you fine?" Quan-Song said in a very worried tone because he saw with his own eyes that Zheng-Fu had to deal with the fierce attacks just now.

"Yes, I'm fine. I only had minor injuries and lost a lot of energy. With a bit of recovery, I'll be better enough to walk normally!" Zheng-Fu opened his eyes and replied in a weak voice because he had to pretend that he really had lost his energy and was injured.

"How do you deal with such violent attacks? So violent! Even the highest advanced Deity Monarch Stage cultivator would be difficult to deal with!" Shen-Yin asked. He was very surprised when he saw Zheng-Fu resisting the attack from the giant flaming sword. Although he knew that Zheng-Fu was also a Deity Monarch Stage cultivator, he could not believe that Zheng-Fu could handle it.

True!

How did you do it!?

It was not just Shen-Yin who wanted to know; everyone else in the group wanted to know as well.

"Because I use my clan's magic item that can only be used once. If I didn't use it, I'd have died by that giant flaming sword!" Zheng-Fu could not tell that he used his specific defensive skill, so he had to lie.

Umm!!!

Hearing Zheng-Fu's explanation, they nodded in clear understanding. Because it was highly plausible and believable.

"You did so well, One-star Hunter! You've made us realize that the Blood Tomb actually hides a deadly danger. And with your work combined with what you lost, the Senior Masters and I will request compensation and rewards for you, including your promotion to become a five-star hunter!"

A middle-aged man with a stern face and a seven-star hunter badge on his chest said in a very friendly tone as his gaze fixed on Zheng-Fu. And he smiled kindly at Zheng-Fu as he spoke his last sentence. But then there were others' exclamations.

Hah!?

Promoted to five-star hunter?!

"Thank you very much, Senior Master! But what I did cannot be considered an achievement. Instead, it should be called a failure as I couldn't even complete the mission!" Zheng-Fu knew that the middle-aged man was sincere with him, but he refused the rewards he offered. Because he could see the displeased gazes from a few people standing behind the man, and he did not want to cause any trouble later.

"It's right that this young man said, Senior Master Liang! He didn't do any work. Just by revealing the true dangers of the tomb, anyone can do it. So, how can we reward him?!"

And it was exactly what Zheng-Fu thought. As soon as he finished speaking, another middle-aged man with two horns on his head and dark green skin interrupted. From his look and tone, Zheng-Fu could tell that he belonged to the Demon Race.

"That's right! Senior Master Mou-Xiao-Han is right! He hasn't completed any missions yet, so how can we reward him? Besides, we don't even know what he's done," another middle-aged demon added with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

Hah!!!

Senior Master Liang was struck dumb at the two's words. As for the other masters, they did not say anything, just silently stood there. Because they did not want to get involved in the conflict between the two sides.

"Senior Master Liang, don't be uncomfortable! Even though I couldn't complete the mission, I got this. And because this is our first meeting and it must be our fate for each other, I'd like to give it to you!"

Zheng-Fu knew what was happening just by looking at it. Actually, he did not need to interfere at all. But because he did not like the Demon Race's people and was thinking of exterminating them all, he thought of making friends with the senior hunter named Liang. He took out a pill and handed it to him with a friendly smile.

Hah!?

That!!!

Is that Heavenly Pills?!

Seeing the pill in Zheng-Fu's hand, everyone could immediately tell what level it was. Because the aura it gave off was so powerful and packed with a lot of energy that even the advanced Deity Monarch Stage cultivators could not help but feel excited.

Ah!

"I can't accept it, this pill is too valuable. Keep it for yourself. You're also a Deity Monarch Stage cultivator, I believe it'll greatly increase your energy level!" But Senior Hunter Liang refused. He thought it was too valuable to be a gift for someone who had just met and knew each other.

"Senior Master Liang, why did you reject Little Comrade like that? If it were me, I would accept it so as not to hurt him. Or would you let me get it on your behalf? The senior hunter from the Demon Race, Mou-Xiao-Han's eyes lit up with greed when he saw the pill. And he said that because he really wanted it.

"I must apologize. But I can't accept it!" Senior Hunter Liang still confirmed his original answer even though he regretted it a bit.

"If you don't accept it, that's fine. Shall I treat you to liquor instead?" Seeing that the other party did not accept it, Zheng-Fu did not force him but instead asked to treat him to liquor to continue their relationship.

"All right! If so, I'm willing. But let me tell you first that I'm a heavy drinker. You might have to spend a lot of money if you want to treat me to liquor! Ha ha ha!" Senior Hunter Liang said with a loud laugh. He admired and felt better about Zheng-Fu when he saw his serious and straightforward expression. He, therefore, wanted to repay Zheng-Fu's goodwill and receive that friendship.

"No problem at all!" Zheng-Fu replied with a smile, shrugging his shoulders. Before he turned to Quan-Song's team and continued, "What about you guys? Would you like to drink liquor with me and Senior Master?" And of course, when he finished asking, he did not look at anyone anymore. He acted as if there was no one else there.

"Sure! But we thought we'd treat you and Master Elder. Because we'd like to repay you for saving our lives. Is that true, everyone?!" Quan-Song agreed without hesitation. And he, on behalf of the team, asked to treat them because he wanted to repay Zheng-Fu for saving their lives.

Yes!!!

That's right!!!

Everyone on the team agreed with the young man's idea. They had previously discussed that matter as well. Then it seemed that the atmosphere around them was very happy and joyful.

But while Zheng-Fu's group was having fun talking, the two Demon Race hunters were very dissatisfied because they were ignored like air, even though they were Senior Masters like Senior Hunter Liang.

"So what do we do next? Are you going to let those demon monsters go, or are you going to go inside the tomb and deal with them?" Zheng-Fu put the fun aside for the moment and asked about dealing with the three protectors and their underlings who had escaped back into the tomb.

"I think we should go down…"

"Senior Master Liang, please don't trouble yourself. The two of us and our group of Senior Hunters will go in there and deal with them ourselves. You please take these kids back to the guild," one of the senior hunters from the Demon Race interrupted before Senior Hunter Liang could finish speaking.

"True! These kids were injured and were quite scared by the events that had just occurred. I think you should be the one to take them back. Leave this matter to us," another senior hunter from the Demon Race added. But the smile at the corner of his mouth looked very devious.

"But…" Senior Hunter Liang looked hesitant. However, when he turned to look at Quan-Song's team and saw that everyone seemed rather tired, he paused, before speaking again with a face that was difficult to explain, "Alright! Then I'll take them back to the Hunter Guild first and then come back and help you all later!"

"Good! But I think that when you come back, everything will be finished. And if that's the case, even if you come back, it won't help us much!" Senior Hunter Mou-Xiao-Han did not deny Senior Hunter Liang's intentions. Still, he hinted that Senior Hunter Liang did not need to return.

Hah!

"Then I wish you all good luck. I'll take these kids back first!"

Senior Hunter Liang was not at all pleased by the words of the senior hunter from the Demon Race. But in that situation, he could not argue.

However, before he led the group of young hunters back, Zheng-Fu spoke up, "Senior Master Liang, please take them back first. I'll stay here to complete my mission."

Zheng-Fu refused to return to the Hunter Guild right away, using the excuse that he wanted to complete the mission he had been given first. But in reality, he did not want to let go of that good opportunity to deal with two senior hunters from the Demon Race. So, he asked to stay. Moreover, within the tomb, there were still many demon monsters. If he could kill them all, he would gain quite a lot more evil souls.

You!
