Chapter 1968 - 1516: Hunting the Hunter!

The second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~...

Of course, in this primitive forest, the number of hunters is not very high, making them quite troublesome to find.

And wanting to find a suitable hunter is even more difficult, requiring a considerable amount of thought...

At least several times along the way, Qin Fang almost bumped into hunters, each time deliberately avoiding them, but it also scared him into a cold sweat.

Among these hunters, the strongest one has reached the Master Level Peak, almost half a step into the Grandmaster Realm.

And the weakest one has cultivation at Master Level Late-Stage, clearly exceeding what Qin Fang can handle.

"Is there no weaker one?"

Continuously avoiding several hunters, Qin Fang felt a bit frustrated and couldn't help but murmur, finding a suitable opponent is really difficult.

"Or, choose a trialist?"

Unable to find a suitable hunter, Qin Fang's mood was somewhat low, considering the option of settling for trialists.

These trialists are almost all experts from the Underground World.

Those who can reach Grandmaster Level or Quasi-Grandmaster Level are not weak, all having emerged from death and slaughter.

Although they may not reach the level of hunters on Devil's Island, they are definitely formidable figures... like the three guys who had conflicts with Qin Fang; none of them are good characters.

"Maybe I can help out Lin Shinan and his wife..."

Thinking of those three, Qin Fang naturally also thought of Lin Shinan and his wife.

These two are not here for the trial, but to find Corpse Mushrooms...

But the problem is, Corpse Mushrooms must exist in a place with heavy corpse air, which is like the Mass Burial Mound on this island.

To reach such a location, apart from being killed and left behind, it's quite a hassle to find them, not to mention the terrifying hunters roaming nearby.

Anyway, Qin Fang and this couple have interacted, if he can lend a hand, he wouldn't mind doing so.

After all, he has already given away a Cultivating Yuan Pill. If Shadow and Lin Shinan were to die, it would be a real waste of that pill.

Qin Fang is not afraid of wasting the pill, it's just that this couple has promised to join him, and he doesn't want to waste such good talent.

That's why he had this thought...

Of course, this is merely a thought.

Lin Shinan and his wife indeed survived the first stage, Qin Fang saw it then but left quickly without greeting them.

But now, almost all trialists have entered this primitive forest, within such a large area, it's difficult to even encounter other trialists, let alone run into Lin Shinan and his wife.

"Oh, someone..."

As Qin Fang was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly noticed something, hurriedly hiding and guessing in his mind, "Trialist? Hunter?"

"Grandmaster Mid-Stage... Hunter!"

But soon, Qin Fang had an answer. Appearing within his mini-map monitoring range was precisely such a hunter.

"It's him..."

Such a discovery made Qin Fang's heart reveal a bit of joy, finally finding a suitable opponent.

"Wait, he seems to be chasing a target..."

However, Qin Fang quickly found that this hunter did not seem to be coming for him, but was chasing a certain target, flashing past Qin Fang with no intention of stopping.

"Follow and see!"

Since the target has been chosen, Qin Fang didn't want to give up easily. No matter the hunter's purpose, Qin Fang had no intention to let him leave just like that.

"Maybe, I can play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind..."

Finding a suitable opponent is quite difficult, and it's a shame to miss this opportunity when he finally met one.

Thus, Qin Fang didn't think much, immediately following the direction where the opponent disappeared, quickly chasing after...

The mini-map function was completely opened, continuously tracking the opponent's trail, chasing all the way down.

These hunters seem to have their own territories, not interfering with each other, at least during Qin Fang's pursuit, apart from the hunter in front, he did not discover a second hunter...

This made Qin Fang very pleased, at least when pursuing the opponent, he didn't need to worry about suddenly encountering a stronger psychopath.

"Oh?"

However, Qin Fang's excitement was a bit premature, he suddenly couldn't help but be surprised.

"Come out~~"

Before Qin Fang could hide, a cold voice reached his ears, and the hunter Qin Fang had been pursuing turned his gun straight at Qin Fang.

"The trialist in front seems quite cunning..."

At this time, Qin Fang only noticed that the trialist tracked by this hunter had already disappeared without a trace, seemingly using some special technique that had caused the hunter to lose track.

This was within Qin Fang's expectations, as every trialist wanting to survive in such an environment must have some means of self-preservation.

The beasts in the sea during the first stage are a gap of innate strength that cannot be fought against. Even those as strong as the Great Grandmaster Level have an extremely low chance of survival in such an environment.

However, upon entering the dense forest, although this primitive forest is still very foreign to each trialist, they can quickly adapt and utilize their specific skills to avoid various crises and slaughters!

Only trialists like Qin Fang, who deliberately seek out hunters, remain very rare...

Indeed, they are rare!

But not the only one...

Almost every Devil's Trial has some heaven-defying experts who turn to hunting the trialists, and there have even been instances where Great Grandmaster Level hunters were killed by trialists!

Qin Fang probably didn't know that there are certain unwritten rules on Devil's Island, such as when a trialist like Qin Fang reverse hunts hunters, if encountered, the hunters will fight back with full force, even immediately giving up the targets they were initially pursuing...

The reason this hunter gave up on the trialist in front was not only because that person was too cunning but mainly due to Qin Fang's emergence.

"Won't come out?"

The hunter stood among a section of dense forest, his face cold without much expression change, but his eyes were filled with vigilance.

As for Qin Fang, although he was already close to this hunter, he did not act but quietly waited for an opportunity.

The opponent had indeed noticed his existence, but Qin Fang wouldn't foolishly walk out to face the opponent directly.

In the Underground World, strength speaks...

What is strength?

Only those who survive are strong!

As for the dead... they are nothing!

The opponent's strength is indeed greater than his. Qin Fang was very clear about this, having not a shred of confidence in confronting him directly...

"Then it seems I have to force you to come out!"

Though Qin Fang hadn't appeared, this hunter hadn't left, rather showing a disdainful mocking smile, then revealing a flashing cold short sword in his hand.

Although he spoke in English, from his appearance, he seemed to come from an Eastern country... possibly from Dragon Country, Japan, Korean, or even Anlang, Old Thai, Indonesian Monkey, and other places.

Pff~~

Without waiting for Qin Fang to initiate, the hunter already moved first, his short sword transforming into a silver streak, launching a sneak attack at the surrounding trees.

Silver light shimmered, Sword Qi spanned across!

This hunter, whose strength reached Grandmaster Mid-Stage, was indeed formidable, his attack immediately made Qin Fang feel a fierce killing intent.

Don't underestimate his strength; though not a top-notch expert, the burst of killing intent still made Qin Fang feel a bit chill.

"This is a very formidable opponent..."

Feeling the sharp and terrifying Sword Qi, Qin Fang couldn't help but evaluate thus.

However, Qin Fang did not become nervous, afraid, or terrified because of this; instead, he became more excited.

Quietly exiting the Wood Release Technique, using a large tree as cover, Qin Fang stealthily hid aside...

A Grandmaster Mid-Stage expert's attacks are extremely sharp, far stronger than the Quasi-Late-Grandmaster Level expert from Sakata Shrine that Qin Fang previously killed.

If these two were to meet, Qin Fang was fully confident that this hunter could easily kill the one from Sakata Shrine.

Qin Fang initially struck the vital point during the Sneak Attack on his opponent; that's how he succeeded, whereas this current opponent could definitely achieve frontal kill... without the slightest bit of suspense!

"Huh?"

After a round of attack ended, quite a few surrounding trees fell, but there was still no trace of Qin Fang, and even that kind of aura seemed to vanish completely.

"Could I have sensed wrongly?"

This result made even the hunter begin to doubt his senses a bit; with such a sharp offensive, generally, there should not be the slightest bit of movementlessness.

But now, the reality is exactly that, seemingly without stirring up any waves, as though there was no second person here at all.

"Impossible! He must be around..."

But soon, the hunter negated this possibility.

As a hunter on Devil's Island, they possess some special abilities, with senses far exceeding normal martial artists.

The reason he knew someone was watching him was that he found that throughout his journey, someone had been spying on him...

He had always been the one spying on others, yet never expected a day where he'd be spied upon!

Realizing this, he knew someone was already targeting him... hunters cannot spy on him; this area is his territory, so it could only be a trialist targeting him. (to be continued.
