Chapter 249: The Humans Move
"Dammit, finally" After the cheetah died, Rhone heaved a tired sigh and copsed on the ground.
"I thought they were not going to die." Rana could not help but say with a look of fatigue.
"Yeah. These two monsters were pretty hard." Liu Ying agreed with them.
They had met these two cheetahs early today. And up to now, they were the strongest monster they had met.
Both of them were around the middle of A-Rank, but when they fought together, the strength they showed was several times greater.
Due to that, the group had a lot of trouble to hunt them.
"Who was so crazy to release those monsters for the hunt?" Liu Ying could not help but ask.
"It was not us, at the very least. None of them produced any strange sound." Rhone said.
At that moment, a voice came from the dragonflies the group was carrying.
[Probably the humans, or maybe the elves. It was a good trick.]
The group looked at each other in confusion.
"What do you mean, captain?" Rana asked.
[Think about it. Normally, six B-Ranks would be unable to defeat these two monsters without suffering injuries or casualties. In fact, if we would have fought them head-on, some of us would have suffered injuries even if we defeated them, plus, there was the possibility they would have escaped and we would have been unable to stop them.]
Liu Ying, Rana, and the others nodded at Bloed''s words.
Certainly, these two monsters were so strong that around three of them would have been necessary to defeat even one of them.
Moreover, their cooperation was impable when they fought together. Even the six of them would have been in trouble if they faced the two monsters at the same time.
That was the reason Bloed put in march this n. They separated the two cheetahs, and while Liu Ying distracted one, the rest of the group fought the other.
However, they did not kill it. Instead, they injured it gravely and used it as bait to set a trap for the other cheetah.
Thanks to that strategy, they managed to kill both monsters without many injuries.
But even like that, the group was dead tired by the end of the fight.
That was the reason Bloed thought these two monsters'' purpose was to cause injuries to the team that meet them.
And if Bloed was not mistaken, the team that released them possessed a method to defeat them much more easily.
That way, the team that released them could defeat the cheetahs easily if they met them first. But if another team met the cheetahs first, there was a high chance of them suffering injuries or even casualties.
In the end, though, their n backfired and Bloed''s team ended benefiting from it.
When Bloed exined his thoughts to the group, they changed their expressions.
[As expected, we can''t underestimate the other teams. Come back to the base, guys. This will be ourst battle for today.] Bloed said through the dragonflies.
Half an hourter, the group of six had gathered in a nearby cave.
It was a different cave than the one they used the first day, but it was also located at the top of a mountain and could be used to overlook the surroundings.
This was the base Bloed had chosen for today.
"Good job, everyone," Bloed said and served each member a bowl of hot food he just cooked using the ingredients in his storage device.
"Captain, I love you~" Rana jumped in joy when she saw the food and grabbed her bowl hurriedly. She then started to devour the food without caring about the looks of the others.
Well, the others reacted simrly as well. Everybody was tired and hungry after one day of hunting.
After everybody finished eating, Bloed summarized their results of the day.
"In total, we hunted eleven B-Rank monsters and tree A-Ranks monsters. Counting the monsters that we killed yesterday, we have a total of forty-one points."
"That result is good, right?" Rhone asked.
"Very good." Bloed nodded. "Today is just the second day and we already have forty-one points. In theory, we need ny points if we want to guarantee our victory, but I think around seventy or eighty points should be enough."
There was a total of sixty B-Rank monsters, fifteen A-Rank monsters, and three half-step demigod monsters.
B-Rank monsters were worth one point, A-Rank monster five points, and half-step demigod monsters fifteen points.
180 points in total.
Based on that, gathering ny points meant guaranteeing their victory.
" We should not be overconfident, though. If I''m not wrong, finding monsters will be harder from today onwards. Plus, the other teams will eventually try to attack us if they fail to gather enough points." Bloed could not help but say.
The group nodded with serious looks.
"What is the n for tomorrow then, Bloed?" Liu Ying asked.
Bloed though for a moment before opening his mouth.
But before he could say anything, his expression froze.
Then, his lips curved in a small smile.
"I just discovered something interesting."
"Huh?" Seeing the confused expressions of the others, Bloed smiled.
" The Sun Kingdom''s team is about to hunt their half-step demigod monster."
Liu Ying, Rana, Aya, and the others were shocked.
"Bloed, are you sure?" Liu Ying asked.
"Yeah. I was unable to hear their entire n, but I got the approximate location of the monster Guys, I think this is a good opportunity."
The group was startled.
One secondter, Liu Ying smiled.
"You are thinking of attacking the humans, right?"
Bloed smirked.
To be honest, he was wary of the trump card the humans could be hiding.
And due to that, he believed attacking them first was a good idea.
"I don''t think you will mind a night expedition, right?" He asked the group.
Liu Ying, Aya, and the others looked at each other. To nobody surprise, every one of them had an excited expression.
"I guess that is a yes then."
"Let''s go! I have not vented enough after being chased by that cheetah for so long!"
With Bloed and Liu Ying''s words, the group got ready for a night attack.
