The young priest who caught Kieran's gaze was so enraged that his face turned red and his fists were clenched tight.
The elderly priest who caught Kieran's gaze turned pale and was at a loss of what to do.
"Please follow me!"
Herasu said after a few seconds and led the way for Kieran.
Pudd, on the other hand, strode into Hunter Temple.
The crowd started to discuss the young hunter's rudeness.
"What a proud and arrogant hunter!"
"He is even more uncomfortable than what the rumors say!"
"He dares to challenge the Godslayer, he is worthy of respect!"
"Yeah!"
"What a powerful young man!"
…
His sarcastic words made Herasu even more anxious.
"Please forgive his rudeness.
Pudd didn't mean to offend you. "
Herasu said as he walked.
Kieran didn't say anything, all he did was nod and follow Herasu into the front hall of Hunter Temple.
Mud, forest, and river.
The moment Kieran stepped into Hunter Temple, he felt like he had stepped into a forest.
Kieran wasn't surprised though.
In "Naveya City Temple Development Analysis", it had already introduced the uniqueness of Hunter Temple.
It was different from the regular architecture of other temples.
The whole Hunter Temple was a dense forest environment created by the Hunter using his divine power, including the core of the temple.
Here, the believers of the Hunter learned how to hunt and work together.
It could be said that every priest in Hunter Temple was the most outstanding hunter in the world.
To a hunter, the 'hunting hound' and the bow and arrow were their proudest possessions.
Pudd, who had arrived earlier, had an adult eagle perched on his shoulder. The eagle had a silver-gray body and a pair of sharp eyes. When it saw the group, it immediately let out a sharp cry. In Pudd's hand was a longbow that was far more powerful than a common hunting bow.
The longbow was as tall as a man, the craftsmanship was simple and the bowstring was tied to the body in an ancient way.
"What kind of bow do you need?"
Pudd asked Kieran.
Kieran didn't answer. He just looked at Horace.
The latter immediately understood and passed his longbow to Kieran.
Pudd's actions infuriated him even more.
He thought that his teacher was too weak and had lost the dignity of a hunter.
And he would protect the last dignity of a hunter.
Thinking of this, Pude took a step forward and said loudly: "Your strength is publicly acknowledged! But your strength doesn't make you the best hunter! "
"Archery is my strongest skill!"
"I have the confidence to defeat you with it!"
His words were filled with confidence.
But it was also extremely arrogant.
The onlookers all had disdainful looks on their faces.
Lilith's eyes were filled with obvious disgust.
Livezel was puzzled.
"This shouldn't have happened!"
"With Pudd's tenacity, even if he was scared out of his wits, after so many days of adjustment, he should be a little better!"
"Why does it look more serious than before?!"
The priest of Music Temple couldn't help but frown.
As Pudd's competitor for many years, Livezel knew Pudd's character very well.
No matter how much agitation Pudd suffered, he shouldn't have become like this.
"Something isn't right!"
Livezel wanted to stop Pudd out of instinct but when he saw the people around him, he sighed silently.
The archpriests, officiants, and Knight Chiefs of various temples.
Most of the people around him were of the same status.
Let alone the one who was participating in the competition.
Even if a small fry like him spoke up, it wouldn't make a difference, would it?
Right after the competition started, Horace started to read the rules.
"After the competition begins, the servant will release 10 rabbits into the forest in a designated area. Whoever hunts the most rabbits within 30 minutes will be the winner!"
"Do you understand, Archpriest Ryan?"
Horace looked at Kieran. After Kieran nodded again, Horace waved his hand at the servants further away.
Immediately, the servants moved into action.
15 minutes later, the servants returned one after another.
In order to prevent cheating, the competition would only start 10 minutes after the servants returned.
"Begin!"
Horace shouted loudly.
Pudd dashed into the forest right away.
Pudd was filled with confidence at that moment.
Pudd felt like he smelled the scent of victory.
At this moment, Pudd could almost see Lilith looking at him in a new light after his victory.
Even if the servants returned to the people's sight after releasing the rabbits in order to prevent cheating, so what?
Pudd had been living here since he was young!
He knew every single blade of grass and every tree like the back of his hand!
As for what those cowardly rabbits would do, he was even more clear about it!
In fact, he had already guessed where the rabbits were hiding!
"I will win!"
Pudd screamed in his heart.
He ran even faster.
He raised his bow.
He saw his target.
He nocked an arrow.
Souuu!
However, before Pudd released his tail, an arrow grazed his body and plunged into the target's body. A red arrow mark rose up into the sky. The mark would appear on the person whose arrow killed the prey first. It was a common practice in Hunter Temple.
Naturally, this time was no exception.
"He followed me and caught up to me?!"
The thought bloomed in Pudd's mind, it made the angry young hunter turn around, ready to scold Pudd.
But behind him …
No one was there!
"He didn't follow me?!
That is … "
Pudd was stunned.
The young hunter didn't know what happened, similar to how he didn't know what level of opponent he was facing.
Sou Sou Sou!
He could only hear the sound of arrows piercing through the air.
All he saw was lines of red marks rising up into the sky.
Nine consecutive air-breaking sounds.
A total of nine marks rose up into the sky.
Pudd was stunned on the spot when he saw the marks rising up into the sky. After a while, he shouted loudly, "This is a scam! This is a scam!
"Everything is fake!"
Pudd dashed back to his starting position faster than before.
However, Kieran wasn't there anymore, there were still a few spectators left and they were pointing at Pudd, whispering among themselves.
"Overconfident bastard!"
"How dare he compete with that sir!"
"Yeah! He even boasted that he was the strongest archer but that sir didn't even move his feet and won! "
…
Pudd couldn't hear what was said after that.
Unable to accept defeat, Pudd pushed Livezel away with a frenzied face and dashed out of the front hall of Hunter Temple.
In his mind, that sentence kept repeating itself.
He didn't move his feet!
He didn't move his feet?
He didn't even move his feet …
Pudd knew how hard it was to achieve such a feat since he was born in Hunter Temple. Not only did he have archery skills, he also had to have a clear understanding of the forest before him, not even the slightest movement could escape his eyes.
"Damn it!"
The young hunter let out a low growl.
His growl was filled with unwillingness.
The unwillingness triggered his original anger and jealousy.
Then, something unusual started to happen.
At the same time, a dagger appeared.
Puk!
The young hunter's throat was slit.
He widened his eyes and looked at the person who ambushed him. His eyes were filled with disbelief but quickly turned gloomy.
The ambusher didn't care.
All he did was take out a cowhide bag and put all the blood into it.
A few minutes later.
Livezel finally caught up with them.
However, he was too late.
All he saw was a body with a slit neck.
Livezel's face turned pale at that moment.
If Pudd's unusual behavior was just his guess, now that Pudd's body appeared, it told him something must have happened.
"What happened?"
Who is the killer? "
Livezel kept thinking.
