Evolution Theory of the Hunter Chapter 132

I just had to catch one of the two and then get the other one later .

I ran to the closer one first .

“Hah . Hah . ”

The one I could see was Wee Oong-bee . It seems he was late in retreating due to giving the command .

I jumped over his head on the Giant White Tiger .

I landed on the ground and slowly turned my body . I could see the dismayed expression on him who had a blood soaked martial artist clothes .

He collapsed as if resigning himself to everything .

“To tame a monster…… You really are a guy that surpa.s.ses my imagination . ”

“I will take it as a compliment . ”

“You’re thinking that you’ve won with this don’t you?”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

To laugh like that while facing death .

I had a bad feeling about this .

“Did you think that this would be the only place with a trap?”

“Are you saying that the other teams are being attacked as well?”

“I had only taken command of this place . The main force is somewhere else . The conclusion has most likely been made by now . ”

“…… Is that so . ”

I lightly sighed .

I couldn’t do anything about that . Wee Oong-bee made a weird expression looking at my calmness .

“You’re not enraged?”

“Why should I be?”

“That is…… . ”

He couldn’t find the words to say .

“It was something out of my reach in the first place . I wasn’t a person a thoroughly patriotic person and I did as much as I can so that’s not something I can help . ”

“Then why did you interfere in this business . You could have just left it alone . ”

“Because it’s earns me money . ”

Of course there were many other reasons .

I didn’t like Han Jung-ho and the government team dying off bothered me as well .

Son Aram was in the team as well and it was true that I was pretty angry once we started getting attacked .

However, that’s that .

“There’s no need to be enraged at every single guy suffering that I can’t even see . Chungho Group is something that I have to take care of sooner or later after all . Even so, I am planning on having plenty of revenge . ”

“Kuk…… d.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d…… . ”

“Then let’s end it here . ”

I heard everything I needed to . It wasn’t like we were friends meeting up after a long time or something so there was no reason to leisurely have a talk .

I flung the Dancing Sword to cut his neck .

Wee Oong-bee’s head that was rolling had a face crumpled up due to pain .

It wasn’t very hard to find Han Jung-ho .

He had died to a Giant White Tiger without being able to resist seeming getting caught by the monster army while running away in the wrong direction .

He would have won easily if he was in a normal condition but his bleeding was severe so battling probably would have been difficult .

I found a phone by rummaging through Han Jung-ho’s body . The screen was cracked but seeing how it turned on it seems it was working properly .

There was a pa.s.sword as expected .

I kept it for now .

I needed a professional to unlock it and for that I had to go back to Seoul so it was impossible to use the information here immediately .

That was why it was going to be used as an insurance just in case .

I didn’t do anything wrong but there was a possibility of me getting branded as a criminal if the fact that I chased after Han Jung-ho got found out while he was missing .

It wasn’t like I didn’t trust Son Aram but you didn’t know what would happen with humans you see .

“Ahh!”

The roar of monsters and screams resonated everywhere . It seems the pursuit was going smoothly .

After waiting an hour or so I called back all the monsters . A total of 101 came back .

53 died and the ones that died were mostly level 1 . Both of the Giant White Tigers were still alive .

It was a bit painful that two level 4 died but there was plenty of profit to make up for it .

“Wow…… How many is this altogether . ”

I got the monsters to pick up all the ores and items on the way back .

The collected items excluding belongings totalled over 1,000 .

It was the number including the items the Chungho Group guys originally had and the item they left after returning to the void . If it was like this I had profited over 20 times more .

If Soo-ah was beside me right now she would jump up and down in excitement saying that it was amazing . No chance . This was all mine .

There were about 100 ores . I was hoping that Strengthening Stones would drop but there weren’t any .

The items were mostly low level but there were a few useable things among them .

They were mostly equipment of hunters at Wee Oong-bee’s level .

The sword that Wee Oong-bee had broke due to the Dancing Sword and Han Jung-ho was a guy that normally fought with his skill so there was nothing to get but the Four Arts Sword that Dan Mok-ju had was a level 7 at its base . And the option was pretty good too .

An option to change the length of the blade at will was a very good skill when fightly multiple enemies .

Thinking of it simply if I were to lengthen it to the maximum and use Aura Blade on it…… .

Thinking of it simply if I were to lengthen it to the maximum and use Aura Blade on it…… .

Ah . The synergy would be no joke . It’s to the point of being a cheat item .

I got 2 level 7 items and 5 level 6 items besides that .

The Chungho Groups only had one and at most two items with them there was little compared to the number dead but it could still be seen as a huge profit .

At this point, it can be said that there was enough funds to start a large raid team .

No, it was to the point that I wondered if it would possible to sell this all .

“Good work . ”

I stroked the Giant White Tiger at the very front and desp.a.w.ned all of them .

After putting in all the monsters into the manual, it became quiet as if nothing had happened .

Even so, there were traces of destruction here and there that showed how fierce the battle just now was .

Either way, Wee Oong-bee’s final words do bother me .

Thinking about the item drop rate and collected items etc . there seemed to be about 500 casualties .

If I estimated the number that ran away as about half then that means about 1,000 were hiding in ambush here .

That meant that 2,000 of 3,000 were not here .

There was no reason for them not to be here so that meant that the possibility of them attacking the other groups was high as Wee Oong-bee had said .

I collected the items and ores and headed towards the government team base .

Since I got rid of the guys ambus.h.i.+ng the guys at the base were probably retreating by now too .

If that wasn’t it they probably dropped dead . I did cuss them a fair bit but it wasn’t like the members of the government team were that sloppy .

Since the ones patrolling had a full level 3 set there should be quite a few better than them .

Going to the base the situation seemed to be getting organized well .

I headed to the tent where I hid Son Aram . As I dug up the thin dirt on top I found Son Aram looking at me with wide eyes .

It look just like the eyes of a squirrel .

“Did it end?”

“Ah . Yes . You can come out now . ”

“What about the damage?”

“It’s probably not that big . ”

Son Aram finally let out a sigh of relief and came out .

Since she was a normal person from the beginning there was no one that could reprimand her for hiding without partic.i.p.ating in battle .

I could see the other hunters being elated seeing Son Aram alive .

It seems she was treated like an idol where the majority of the hunters were male .

I gave a rundown of the situation to her .

She opened her mouth while listening to the story of Han Jung-ho and the Chungho Group .

She opened her mouth while listening to the story of Han Jung-ho and the Chungho Group .

“If there was an ambush why are they not moving until now?”

“I’m not sure if you’ll believe me but I appropriately scolded them and sent them on their way . ”

“Pft . You joke well . ”

Scolding them and sending them off was a joke but the ambush wasn’t .

Looking at my sincere eyes she asked once more .

“There really was? Also, Sang-min took care of them all on your own?”

“If you can’t believe it there’s nothing I can do about that . ”

“Do you have some kind of proof? It’s not that I can’t trust you but for people to move because of this kind of information there was to be evidence . ”

“There is no proof of the ambush but…… there is this . ”

I held up my smartphone and showed the picture of Han Jung-ho and Wee Oong-bee .

Normally, nothing would be done with just a picture like this but this was a war right now .

Having a picture taken with a Chungho Group member was enough as evidence .

On top of that, disappearing right before the battle was a suspicious event too .

She who saw the picture let out a light sigh .

“I will have to report this matter to my superiors and think of a measure . Please wait during that time . Right, please send me the photo as well . ”

“Sure . ”

I was wondering how the ambush of the other government teams were going so I was planning on waiting .

Son Aram hurriedly went somewhere and I was sending the picture to her when someone hit my back .

“Wow . You were alive?”

Turning my head, there was the hunter that had the Detect skill .

Was his name Park Chan-hyeong .

“Can I not be alive?”

I replied with a laugh . It was a joke but it probably wasn’t heard like that .

“No, it wasn’t in that meaning . Alone like a crazy guy…… No, you ran like a person that wasn’t right in the head after all . But why did you do so? The people swore a lot saying that you ran off on your own . ”

“Did it seem like I was running away?”

“No, I know the reason after all…… Even so, there are probably many people that misunderstood . ”

“I don’t really care about what others think . More importantly, how is the current situation?”

“We were preparing to retreat after enduring one way or another when the enemies suddenly left like a wave . We did pursue belatedly but it was after they had all retreated so…… I think everybody is wondering what had happened . ”

It seems it was going as I thought .

He opened his mouth as if whispering .

“But was it really there?”

He opened his mouth as if whispering .

“But was it really there?”

“What was?”

“An ambush . ”

Ah . Right . I think I told this guy that the northern direction was dangerous as well .

However, there was probably no need to explain it as it is .

Since even Son Aram didn’t have the evidence he wouldn’t 100% believe it anyway . He will probably just take it as Han Jung-ho selling the information and inducing an ambush .

“There wasn’t . It seems I was wrong . ”

“You made a wrong guess then . ”

Park Chan-hyeong giggled . It wasn’t a bad att.i.tude . It was a joke that came out since the battle was over and all .

But it was a bit bothersome to say that I had no profit so should I give some bait?

“But I heard something weird . ”

“Yes? What is it?”

“It seems like the Chungho Group’s real target wasn’t here but somewhere else . ”

“Yes? How do you know that?”

“There was no ambush but it’s something I heard after meeting the commander of this ambush plan . ”

“Eh . Really? That person obediently talked?”

“No way . I made him spill it . ”

I held up my phone and showed him the picture of Han Jung-ho and Wee Oong-bee .

“Huh? This is team leader Han Jung-ho……?”

“This person was the one that planned this ambush . The one beside him is an important figure of the Chungho Group . ”

“Then the leader disappearing before the ambush was…… . ”

“It will probably come up soon if it was investigated . ”

“This person, no what happened to this b.a.s.t.a.r.d?”

“Because of a monster suddenly appearing…… he ran away while I battled . ”

“d.a.m.n . That kind of b.a.s.t.a.r.d can’t be left alive though . ”

Chan-hyeong vented with an expression of anger and shame .

I was thinking about whether I should say that I actually killed him or not but there was no need to say that I killed a person with my own mouth so yeah .

The corpse was returned to the void so there was no evidence either .

At that time several hunters swarmed here from the other side .

“There! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d . Aren’t you the guy that ran away before?”

I just had to catch one of the two and then get the other one later

I ran to the closer one first
