Even though they were both the same person, Gu Ying was unable to treat him the same way. She always thought the little deer in her heart had slammed its head into a wall and died seven or eight years ago. To her surprise, it had come back to life and was jumping up and down in her heart!
"I'm sorry, I … I … we all thought you were only a Basic Hunter …" Gu Ying said after some time.
"It's fine, but it seems like fate has brought us together. We are on the same team again," Mofan said.
Speaking of being on the same team, the big-nosed Mage and the Earth Mage were extremely regretful. Why did they kick Mo Fan out of the team just for some petty benefits? They even had the urge to kill themselves on the spot!
Luckily, Mofan did not hold it against them.
…
Ling Ling had recruited a lot of Hunters to help her. Yang Ning had reported that there were seventy-two of them. Perhaps it was because it was rare to see a Seven Star Hunter like Mofan among the Hunters. Everyone was discussing among themselves. Some even repeatedly checked Mofan's information.
"My Heavens, how did he complete an S-rank quest? One of them even has an international reward pool …" a few Advanced Hunters whispered. Even though their voices were soft, they could not hide the astonishment in their hearts.
"If there was only one, it might be because he was lucky, but there are two S-rank quests, and one of them is actually hiding information!" the leader of the Cangjin Hunter Squad, Lan Jin, exclaimed.
"Wow, so he's the one who solved the Drowning Curse. I'm from Dalian. The Drowning Curse was a hot topic back then. Everyone said it was a sacrifice for the Sea Hades. Apparently, even a Senior Hunter tried to figure out the reason, but they couldn't find any clues!"
Not many people in the country knew about the Tear of Medusa Quest, but many Hunters had heard about the Drowning Curse. They did not expect the young man to be the one who had completed the S-Rank Quest for the Drowning Curse!
"Take a seat, I'll explain the details of the quest to you. The quest is a little complicated, so it'll take some time, "Yang Ning stood beside Mofan and said to the others.
After all, they were professional hunters. Their discipline was second only to the military. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been selected for this bounty mission.
However, the members of the Foehn Hunter Squad were not the only ones feeling uneasy. Lu Zhuo and Li Yumei on Master Pancheng's team were feeling extremely uncomfortable.
In fact, for Li Yumei, this news was like a bolt from the blue.
"What are you waiting for? Go and apologize, do you want to be kicked out of the team!?" Lu Zhuo shoved Li Yumei.
This Li Yumei was really a troublemaker. If it wasn't for her inexplicably showing off her superiority as a senior, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Lu Zhuo had an urge to slap himself in the face when he recalled what he had just said. He was trying to befriend the Seven Star Hunter Master, yet his plan had failed as soon as it started!
"Master, Master, I … I … I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I hope you won't take my words to heart." Li Yumei said to Mofan with an ugly smile.
Mofan was amused when he saw her reaction.
"Did you forget what you said?" Mofan put on airs.
Seriously, why do people like to flaunt their seniority in every industry and field these days? They're always saying that I've eaten more salt than you, and that newcomers should do some miscellaneous work …
"I didn't forget, I'll make some tea right away!" Li Yumei immediately ran into the teahouse.
Li Yumei was hoping to earn the right to become a Hunter Master with the contribution points from the quest!
"If a newbie is willing to do chores, it's out of respect for their seniors. It doesn't necessarily mean it's their duty to do chores, nor does it mean the seniors can treat newbies like slaves … what kind of attitude is this!?" Mofan blurted out when he saw the gloating looks on everyone's faces.
Mo Fan remembered that when he first joined the Hunter Squad, he was a complete newbie who didn't know anything. Xu Dahuang, Feishi, and the others had never ordered him to do this or that. Some of the so-called unspoken rules in the industry were actually related to one's character. Those with a bad character liked to find a sense of superiority, and they especially liked to emphasize that it was natural for newbies to do so!
"Master, you're right!"
There were many high-level Hunters in the team this time. They had all experienced being scolded by experienced Hunters as newbies. Those with a good character would understand, and they would not cross the line when they were leading newbies in the future. On the other hand, those with a bad character would learn from the old Hunters and act as if it was finally their turn to order others around.
"Alright, let's get down to business. We're mainly here to deal with the Salamander Demons. You should know what's going on. A huge number of Salamander Demons have appeared in the Thousand Islands Lake. If we don't do something about it, the Thousand Islands Lake is going to turn into the Thousand Islands Cave. I've made a deal with Councilman Jiang Xia to help him deal with the problem. Your job is to find the male and female Salamander Demons and help me eliminate them, "Mofan said.
Mofan immediately explained the situation of the Salamander Demons to the others.
A few advanced hunter squads were surprised when they heard the report.
They always thought the Salamander Demons were breeding among themselves. Otherwise, why would these creatures occupy so much of the Thousand Islands Lake?
"As expected of a Seven Star Hunter Master. Our group tried to find the Salamander Demons, but we failed to find anything. However, the Seven Star Hunter Master managed to find the root of the problem so quickly!" Lu Zhuo flattered.
"Lu Zhuo, your group has seven members. Each of you will lead a squad of Advanced Hunters. Let's split into seven groups," Mofan delegated the members.
"Don't worry, we are all elites. We'll find every possible hiding spot of the Great Salamander Demons. Don't worry, Seven Star Hunter Master … but the Great Salamander Demons are very high-level. I hope you can handle them in person," Lu Zhuo said.
"You just need to report to me after you find their location," Mofan said.
"Of course. Let's go! "
…
The teams were soon assigned. Each Hunter Master of the Pancheng Hunter Group would lead a squad of Advanced Hunters to search for hidden spots in the Thousand Islands Lake.
"Fan Mo, err … can we not let Li Yumei be our leader? She has just reached the Advanced Level. She doesn't even know how to use Advanced Spells. The place we are searching is a little dangerous. We won't be able to guarantee our safety if we follow her," Gu Ying came over and suggested.
"Oh? I remember my recruitment request requires a Hunter Master to have at least two Elements in the Advanced Level, "Mofan looked at Yang Ning.
"It's normal for teams to recruit people with nepotism. There's nothing we can do to deal with them. You can deduct some of the rewards when we are done with the mission, "Yang Ning said helplessly.
"It's true that useless people always get into trouble. Forget it, if we can find the Great Salamander Demons, let her be. I don't want to waste my time on her," Mofan said.
If he reprimanded Lu Zhuo now, the team would be split up again. Mofan would just pretend he did not see a few of them. It was fine as long as they could complete the mission.
"So we …" Gu Ying said hesitantly.
"I'll ask Li Yumei to follow the other teams. Your Foehn Hunter Squad should be familiar with the Thousand Islands Lake if you can find it. I'll ask my Summoned Beast to follow you," Mofan said.
Mofan Summoned the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.
It had been a while since the Flying Creek Snow Wolf came out to exercise. Even though he often led his underlings to fight for territory in the Summoned Beast Plane, the Moon-Devouring White Wolves were mostly involved in the battles. As the leader of the pack, he had nothing to do.
"Old wolf, you will follow Gu Ying and ensure her team's safety. Do you understand?" Mofan said.
"Awoo ~ Awoo ~" The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was reluctant. Why was he being Summoned to be a guard dog for a bunch of people instead of a thrilling battle!?
"What are you howling for? You only know how to flirt with female wolves in your den. Do you think you're a breeding wolf? Aren't you afraid that your kidneys are weak? Work hard and stop complaining about this and that, "Mo Fan said impolitely.
"Awoo ~" The Flying Creek Snow Wolf immediately lost his pride. He lowered his head and followed Gu Ying.
…
…
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf left Minghu Outpost with the Foehn Hunter Squad. When they reached the outpost, the Foehn Hunter Squad noticed the Flying Creek Snow Wolf following behind them in low spirits. He did not seem to be escorting them. He was more like a dozing old dog.
"Is this wolf reliable? I thought he would follow us in person, so we could witness his strength as a Seven Star Hunter Master, but he only sent a Dimensional Beast. Isn't he looking down on us? "Big Nose grumbled.
"Big nose, stop talking. If it weren't for what you said back then, we would have been teammates with a Seven Star Great Master. In the end, you're making things difficult for us," Zhong Li said snappily.
Zhong Li and Gu Ying were friendly to Mofan. If they had parted ways without any conflict, it would have been a great opportunity for them. No matter how proud the man was, he would still treat them well for the sake of their past relationship …
"You can't blame me for that. Who would have thought a young man like him would be a Seven Star Hunter Master? I wonder how strong he really is. I don't believe he has earned the title with his own strength at such a young age. I'm guessing his partner must be someone important! "Big Nose said.
