"I'm so pissed off, I'm so pissed off! I'm going to be an idiot if I accept a bounty from the government again!" Gu Ying was enraged. She was like a bad-tempered girl on the beach. If she had not run out of energy, she would have used her Ice Magic to vent her anger on her teammates.
"Boss, the world is unpredictable. Things are bound to be a little unlucky sometimes. We have to be patient. Maybe the next batch of Salamander Demons will send two or three Salamander Demons. Won't we make a profit then?" Zhong Li explained awkwardly.
"Earn my ass! At our current rate, we'll only earn a hundred thousand each after a month of hunting. We don't have anything to eat or drink on this island. Grass will prick our butts even when we're taking a piss. I might be able to endure it if we could earn more, but why do we have to suffer so much for such a small amount of money? "Gu Ying snarled.
Most Hunters would only accept a bounty once every half a year. They would spend a month or two in the wild, but the conditions in the wild were extremely harsh. Some people could not even endure living in a run-down house for a day or two, let alone in the wild, where demon creatures roamed freely in the wild.
Normally, Hunters would work as beasts for a month or two to earn some money. They would then rest for a few months to make sure they did not go crazy.
In other words, even if they were only paid a hundred thousand each for a month, it was still half a year's salary for a Hunter.
Earning a hundred thousand in half a year?
Why did they have to risk their lives in this godforsaken place when they had to work with demon creatures and live in the wild?
"What kind of stupid bounty is this? I quit, I quit!" Xie Hao was displeased, too.
"Zhong Li, can you please find out more about the Salamander Demons next time? Whoever wants to kill them can go ahead and kill them!"
The team immediately lost their will to fight. Mofan could understand why. No Hunter in their right mind would do something so difficult with such low returns.
If even a decent Intermediate Hunter Group like the Foehn Hunter Squad was not willing to do it, the other Hunter Groups would have to leave the Thousand Island Lake soon.
As such, the Salamander Demons continued to spread like wildfire!
"Don't be like that … I don't want everyone to come here for nothing. How about this, let's recover our energy first. We'll decide what to do after we've recovered enough energy. If we really can't do it, we'll head west and kill a few lizards to replenish our energy. It's better than going back empty-handed," Zhong Li said.
"Yeah, I'd rather kill the Lizard Demons in the swamp than waste my time here with these Salamander Demons!" the big-nosed Mage agreed.
…
At night, everyone was exhausted, so they set up their tents on the island.
Hunters knew that it was not safe to spend the night near a water source. Many creatures needed to drink water, and they might be dragged out of their tents and eaten as snacks in their sleep.
Mofan was responsible for keeping watch at night. He was the only one in the group who still had some energy left. In the eyes of these Intermediate Magicians, Mofan's only role was to keep watch at night.
At night, Mofan looked down from the top of the mountain and observed the water surrounded by the lake. The water was like an island lake. It was extremely quiet. Even the clouds in the night sky were reflected in the water. He could see the clouds drifting slowly under the water.
"I don't think I've found any weak points. If I want to kill them, I'll have to cast a powerful spell. It's going to cost me a lot of energy," Mofan was having a headache.
The Salamander Demons were seriously disgusting. Their defense was almost as strong as some weak Commander-level creatures, especially when there were so many of them …
"Glug ~"
Mofan suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the water while he was deep in thought.
It was not the cry of a demon creature, but more like the sound of dense water.
Mo Fan glanced at the lake on the island. He suddenly noticed that the clear water had turned cloudy, as if someone had poured a bucket of dirty water into it. The water was slowly stirring!
"What's going on?"
Mofan found it strange. He immediately turned into a shadow bird and flew across the forest before landing at the shore.
"Did I see it wrong?"
When Mofan arrived at the shore, the water suddenly became clear again. It was so clear that he could see the bottom of the lake even in the dark.
The water was murky just a moment ago, but it suddenly became clear. Even though it took him some time to fly down from the mountain, it did not make sense for the water to clear so quickly, did it?
Besides, Mofan had been keeping an eye on the water to see if there were any creatures on the surface. He remembered how the blue moths had covered the surface of the water when he was in Wu Town. It was the reason why the water did not reflect any light or shadow …
This time, Mofan paid extra attention, but he did not see anything.
The water was murky just a moment ago, but it suddenly became clear again …
"Could it be the clouds? Did I see it wrong?"
Mofan could not figure out what was going on. He had no choice but to return to his tent.
…
"Where did you go? I told you to keep watch at night, but you didn't show up. How disobedient are you? Don't you want the deposit anymore?" Gu Ying pulled a long face when she saw Mofan.
"I just took a piss. The smell of my piss is quite strong. I was worried that it might smell, so I went a little further away," Mofan explained with a smile.
"Aren't you disgusting? Stop saying it out loud!" Gu Ying rolled her eyes at Mofan.
"Why isn't the captain asleep yet? Did you come all the way here to check on me?" Mofan asked.
"I'm in a bad mood because I didn't get any money. It's easy for me to lose sleep when I'm in a bad mood. There are so many of these things. If we can break their shells, we might be able to earn a fortune, "Gu Ying said.
"So the captain is thinking about the same thing … are you short of money?" Mofan asked.
"Who doesn't need money?" Gu Ying asked in return.
"That's true."
"I was planning to save up enough money to buy a small Galaxy Vein and see if I can achieve the Advanced Level, but it seems like there's no hope …" Gu Ying sighed.
"A Galaxy Vein is very expensive. It'll take you around twenty years to earn enough," Mofan said.
"So, if I don't make any progress this year, I'll find a rich man and marry him. I bet I'll get everything I want if I act coquettishly," Gu Ying said.
"You sound serious," Mofan smiled.
"I was serious from the start. I really don't want to do it anymore. I'm tired. I've been a Hunter for almost ten years, risking my life. I didn't treat myself like a human, but I realized I'm worse than those b * tches. I can get anything I want by acting coquettishly and selling my ass, "Gu Ying said.
"Uhh …" Mo Fan didn't know how to respond.
