Chapter 630: Watch closely, you mere mortal ant!
"Great Hunter! Something terrible has happened!"
"We can't handle it!"
The two hunters scrambled back into the sky in a sorry state and landed in front of the Great Hunter Wang.
Wang the Great Hunter hadn't been paying attention to what was happening below; his mind was entirely focused on what to do next, whether he should rejoin Old Qing and start another sweeping search...
then.
When the two hunters returned empty-handed, Wang the Great Hunter's face immediately fell.
Upon closer inspection, one of the guys had even had his arm severed clean off at the root! "What are you two good for? You captured four mortal-level cultivators and you've done this to them?!"
As they expected, the Great Hunter Wang immediately flew into a rage and unleashed a torrent of abuse, leaving the two hunters too ashamed to lift their heads or utter a sound.
The hunters with back pain and the one-armed hunter immediately knelt on the ground, filled with fear and trepidation: "Please forgive us, Great Hunter! We could have easily taken them down, but who knew... who knew... they actually had that thing..."
The two hunters were naturally very aggrieved by Wang Da's insults.
Being scolded for failing to accomplish anything is actually the least of your worries. There have been even worse cases where someone was killed on the spot by this great hunter!
although.
What injured them was most likely the bronze lamp that destroyed the Witch Soul Lamp, but that lamp was in the hands of a mere mortal girl with blond hair; logically, they shouldn't have been harmed. They were killed before the girls could unleash the full power of their treasure, and the treasure fell into their hands—that's the normal script, isn't it?
Moreover, a mere mortal should theoretically be unable to unleash the power of a top-tier magic weapon!
The higher the level of the magic weapon, the more spiritual it is. Some magic weapons will even actively eliminate those who are not qualified to wield it. Four mortal girls, it's one thing if they are not eliminated by that lamp, but why can they still use it?
They hadn't considered this situation, and as a result, the two returned empty-handed, with one of them even breaking an arm. They were absolutely furious!
"That thing?"
Wang the Great Hunter frowned: "You mean, the treasure that destroyed the Witch Soul Lamp?"
in fact.
Old Wang had only just learned what the treasure looked like.
Because the Witch King hadn't given him specific details, only instructing him to bring the "treasure" before him, and given the urgency of the situation, the Great Hunter Wang didn't ask the Witch King for further information. Fortunately, in his efforts to gather information, he had casually seized hundreds of wandering ghosts hiding from sunlight along the way, interrogating and searching their souls. Only then did he learn that the treasure was a bronze lamp with an extremely terrifying light; getting close would result in death!
He looked down.
With his Immortal Lord level strength, Wang Da Lieshi spotted the four mortal ants in the Nether Abyss Mountain below at a glance.
One of them made his gaze deepen.
She was the girl he and Lao Qing favored the most among the cultivators from the Xuan Tian Realm who were sent here, and she possessed a top-tier immortal sword that even they envied and coveted!
Is it her?
Upon closer inspection, Wang Dalieshi's gaze fell upon the bronze lamp she was carrying in her left hand.
It's still the same... I can't sense even the slightest trace of a top-tier magic weapon.
How strange, how very strange! "How did your arm disappear?"
Wang Da, the great hunter, turned his head, looked at the one-armed hunter, and asked in a shout.
"Reporting to the Great Hunter, the lamps held by those mortal cultivators emitted an extremely terrifying light. I didn't even touch them myself; I merely focused my Dao power to capture them alive..."
"But! The moment my move made contact, it was broken, and my right hand caught fire. If my colleague hadn't intervened in time to sever my arm and save my life, I'm afraid I would have been in grave danger!"
The one-armed hunter dared not conceal the truth and told the whole story of his defeat.
The eyewitness recounted the incident, and everyone who heard it found it particularly absurd. But if you didn't believe it, this guy's hand really was broken...
Doesn't look fake.
"Is that so?"
"That lamp can still exert such power in the hands of a lowly mortal?" "Strange, this thing is definitely extraordinary!"
Everyone looked at the bronze lamp in Bai Feier's hand.
Indeed, that Primordial Soul Lamp seemed unremarkable. Even after staring at it for a long time, one could not perceive any changes. But perhaps it was precisely because of this that the unfortunate fellow underestimated his opponent and lost his right arm.
"Great Hunter, what should we do next?"
"Give the order!"
The hunters were somewhat bewildered and felt quite frustrated. They hunted tens of thousands of vengeful ghosts every night using a formulaic method. They could even handle celestial-level vengeful ghosts, let alone mortal-level ones. But now they were stumped by those four mortal-level brats below!
What is this thing called?
Do you want shame anymore?
Upon hearing this, Wang the Great Hunter pondered for a moment, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed angrily, "Hmph! What's there to be afraid of? There are over a hundred of us here, why should we be afraid of four ants?!"
"no!"
The hunters echoed their agreement.
"You two cowards! You underestimated your enemy and got caught in the trap, so you rushed back in a panic. How shameful!"
Wang Da, the great hunter, gave the two hunters another thorough dressing-down. He felt that the two had no reason to be cowardly; they were only missing one hand, yet they were afraid!
He felt that there was absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
Just because the lamp's power is strange, does that mean immortals should fear mortals?
Having lived for so many years, I've never heard of such a thing as defying the Heavenly Gang. So these two useless idiots were scared and became spineless cowards!
Waste, utter waste!
The hunters with back pain and the one-armed hunter, who were being scolded, dared not retaliate. In the end, they were scolded so much by the Great Hunter that they were relegated to the very end of the group of hunters and became invisible.
"You two, go and kill those four guys, and take the lamp and the sword!"
Wang, the Great Hunter, then specifically named two more hunters with robust physiques.
Wang Da Lieshi was deeply impressed by both of them. They worked hard and had good talent. After being transformed by the Netherworld power of the Witch King, their level of etherealization was also very high.
They are the kind of people who need to be given special attention and training!
The hunter who was called out immediately stepped forward and charged down.
Wang the Great Hunter sneered, "Watch closely! Even if a mere mortal ant possesses a top-tier immortal treasure, it's nothing to be afraid of!"
"They can't unleash the true power of that treasure at all, so why..."
The words have not yet fallen.
The two hunters had already rushed into the Netherworld Mountain, and the moment they were enveloped by the light, they let out a short scream and were instantly reduced to ashes.
Wang the Great Hunter: ...
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, and the entire room fell silent!
