Huang Ling 'er's luck was not bad. She really did encounter a group of five or six hunters.
However, these hunters were not ordinary hunters. They were a group of bounty hunters.
There were many types of hunters. There were hunters who specialized in taking on missions from the Hunter's Guild. There were also bounty hunters who only recognized money and not people. There were also hunters who were only loyal to the royal family or aristocratic families.
The news that a magical beast on the C-rank wanted list had broken into the Yue Wu Mountain Range had spread throughout the surrounding counties within a few days.
Among them, the most active were the bounty hunters. There were already eight or nine bounty hunters in the vicinity that had entered the Yue Wu Mountain Range.
When Huang Ling 'er walked over, several people were discussing the matter of encircling and suppressing the magical beast. "That magical beast seems to be very difficult to deal with. The latest news says that it might be a peak rank five mutated dual-attribute magical beast."
The one who spoke was the leader of the bounty hunters called "Green Wolf", a bald, brawny man.
"Big Brother, a peak rank five magical beast, and a mutated one at that. Its strength is too strong. With just the few of us, we are no match for it. I also heard that the people from 'Scorpion Tail' encountered that magical beast early this morning. In the end, more than half of the people in the first team were killed or injured. In the end, the magical beast even escaped into the depths of the mountain range. "The only female warrior in the team revealed a worried expression.
This bounty hunter team had been making a living in the vicinity of Qi City. In their team, they were all warriors, four men and one woman. Most of them were Martial Grand Masters.
Scorpion Tail was a bounty hunter of the same rank as them. However, there was a medical warrior in Scorpion Tail who was good at using poison.
Even Scorpion Tail had suffered heavy losses. How much better could Green Wolf be?
"The information you received is incomplete. I spent five silver coins to obtain first-hand information. Scorpion Tail's people did not kill that magical beast, but that beast was also defeated. It was poisoned and was forced into a corner. Only then did it escape into the depths of the mountain range. "The bald hunter's eyes shone with a dark light.
Due to the deaths of several hunting teams, the bounty for this magical beast had risen to two hundred gold coins. This was not even including the value of the magical beast itself.
Magical beasts at the peak of the fifth rank were considered mid-tier among the magical beasts on the continent. Its flesh and fur, as well as the rarest mutated magical beast soul stone, could be sold for a lot of money.
Mutant Magical Beast!
When Huang Ling'er heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
"Who is it?!" The bald hunter was alerted.
"Excuse me, are the mutated magical beasts you're talking about wind and lightning magical beasts?" Huang Ling 'er couldn't wait to jump out. She really didn't waste any effort. A mutated magical beast. She actually encountered a mutated magical beast.
She had finally found her first Magical Beast Soul Stone.
The few Hunters thought that there were Magic Beasts lying in ambush around them. They were shocked when they saw a little girl who looked like she was carved from jade walking out from the dark forest.
This little girl was actually all alone in this remote forest.
She was still holding a magic scepter in her hand. However, the magic scepter had yet to be inlaid with a magical beast soul stone.
"Little girl, what are you doing here alone?" The only female hunter among the hunters walked over.
They were all people who made a living on the continent all year round. They still had the basic eyesight.
Although Huang Ling'er's clothes were stained with dust, they were all made of high-quality materials. The magic scepter in her hand was also the bone of a magical beast that was more than 50 years old. There was also a noble air in her actions and speech. She must be from an extraordinary family.
However, since her family background was not bad, why did she go out alone without any guards? This didn't make sense.
However, since she was a descendant of an aristocratic family, the bounty hunters were still very willing to make friends with her. Who knew if she would be their employer in the future?
"I'm here for a trial. I need a wind and lightning magical beast soul stone. The mutated magical beast you were talking about just now is what I'm looking for. If I'm not wrong, you should be bounty hunters. If you can help me catch that magical beast, I'll give you 500 … no, 1,000 gold coins. "Huang Ling'er was very generous. She quoted a sky-high price at once.
Wow, I didn't expect Huang Ling'er to be so rich.
Not far away, Yun Sheng, who had climbed up a tree and was looking in all directions, clicked her tongue and sighed.
It was really infuriating to compare oneself to others. She was still worrying about the travel expenses to the Jade Capital, and Huang Ling'er actually directly offered a sky-high reward.
It turned out that after the sky turned dark, Yun Sheng thought that there were many magical beasts in the forest, and it was not convenient for her to light a bonfire directly. Thus, she simply climbed up the tree. After scattering some beast repellent powder nearby, she prepared to make do with spending the night on the tree.
Unexpectedly, just as she climbed up the tree, she saw Huang Ling'er sneakily walking in the direction of the bonfire in front.
Stupidity is really incurable. Yun Sheng cursed in her heart. She really doesn't know what's good for her. What kind of people are bounty hunters?
They are all people who recognize money and not fate. Was there a need to guess the result of exposing a huge sum of money in front of such people?
On the other side, Huang Ling'er had no idea that when she dropped 1,000 gold coins, the eyes of the five hunters lit up.
They looked at Huang Ling'er as if they had seen a little white rabbit.
The five of them looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
Regardless of whether they could catch the magical beast or not, as long as they caught her and threatened her to write a letter to her family for a large sum of money, the magical beast would belong to them, and the ransom would also belong to them.
Such a thing that fell from the sky was really something that could only be encountered by chance.
Huang Ling'er was also very pleased with herself. Since Uncle Ji did not help her hunt for the soul stone, she would find someone to hunt for it herself. Anyway, he would not know how she got the soul stone.
"Little girl, I see that you are hungry. Come and eat something first to warm yourself up. Are you a sorcerer? What's your name? Where do you live? Since we are going into the mountain to hunt, we will bring you along. " That female mercenary put on a kind expression and coaxed Huang Ling'er to come forward, passing her some food.
Huang Ling'er took the food and ate it.
That night, Huang Ling'er stayed with that female mercenary. The next morning, the bounty hunters cleaned up the traces of camping and brought Huang Ling'er into the depths of the mountain.
After the bounty hunters left, Yun Sheng also slid down from the tree.
"Should we follow or not?" Looking at the bottomless depths of the mountain, Yun Sheng had an ominous feeling.
"Xiao Hei, should we follow or not?" Yun Sheng could not make up her mind and pulled Xiao Hei to be her shield. "If you follow, say yes. If you don't, say no."
Xiao Hei tilted her head and did not respond for a long time. (Xiao Hei cried = 0 =, I don't know how to say yes at all.)
"Since silence means approval, then we will reluctantly follow and take a look." Yun Sheng and Xiao Hei followed the bounty hunters and entered the depths of the mountain.
Once again, Yun Sheng and Huang Ling'er forgot Chi Wu and the others' instructions.
