Haisha looked at Dean and said, “Did you meet something when you performed the task?”
Dean was startled when Haisha suddenly asked this question, and then he answered truthfully, “Our task was to kill a rare Wind Listener. After finding its nest, we saw a legendary Shadow Hunter, but it was dead, and we didn’t know what killed it. Before we could collect the Parasitic Soul Worm, that youth appeared.”
“Dead?” Haisha frowned with surprise. After pondering for a while, she said to Dean, “Take me to see the corpse.”
“Okay,” Dean nodded. When he saw her hear “Shadow Hunter” without the slightest bit of surprise, he knew his guess was right that Haisha already knew about the Shadow Hunter’s existence. The reason why she asked him was mostly because she thought that the Wing Family’s youth had been trying hard to sneak in, so he had to have a different purpose other than killing a small Dragon Guard team. Therefore, Dean didn’t hide it but chose to tell the truth.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Dean led the way in front. Rosemary’s and Ruby’s corpses were seen along the way, and both were decapitated. There were some unknown earthworm-like scarlet worms crawling and eating the fresh bloody brains inside the heads.
The two people had just died, and their corpses became the feast for the wild worms.
Dean looked slightly changed. Although his heart was like a stone, when those who had been eating, drinking, and fighting together suddenly became corpses in the wilderness, he suddenly felt the fragility and the smallness of life.
“Are they your teammates?” Haisha followed Dean and said, “Are you going to bring their corpses back? Now you’re the only one left on your team. If you bring their corpses, it will make your return trip even more dangerous.”
Dean certainly didn’t have the intention to bring back their corpses, let alone he didn’t have any feelings for them. Under these circumstances, even if it were Sergei, Nicholas, or his other trusted people died here, he wouldn’t take the risk of bringing their corpses back. In his view, the meaning of life was alive. Death meant life came to an end, leaving only an insignificant body.
Risking his life for such an insignificant body was something stupid he would never do.
His view, however, was somewhat cold-blooded, so he didn’t want to reveal it in front of Haisha and thought for a moment before saying, “Just cremate them here. Let their souls accompany their ashes in this land where they fought and struggled. Guarding eternally.”
Haisha also had this intention, so she agreed with Dean’s words, nodding, “Well, just cremate them.”
Dean immediately picked up some withered branches and piled the corpses together. When he picked up Rosemary’s head, the crawling worms in her head writhed and crawled toward his fingers.
Dean felt a bit nauseated and didn’t want to touch the worms, so he grabbed her hair and flung her head on her corpse; her face was still full of horror.
Dean lit the withered branches with a match. Before long, the raging fire ignited Ruby’s and Rosemary’s corpses, including their armors.
Under the fire, the worms inside their heads squeaked and writhed in pain. Some fell off into the fire and was burned quickly, and some drilled into the corpses.
Dean looked at the corpses for a while and knew that it wouldn’t be burned completely in a short time, so he approached Haisha and said, “Let’s go.”
Haisha nodded slightly.
After they arrived at the Shadow Hunter’s nest, Dean cautiously scanned the surroundings and didn’t see any abnormality, then he felt slightly relieved and said to Haisha, “Shadow Hunter is inside this cave.”
At the same time as he pointed to the cave, his eyes looked at the entrance, and he suddenly was stumped.
If he remembered correctly, Ian’s corpse seemed to be here, but there was nothing on the ground.
What was going on?
He was puzzled, but a chill ran down his spine when he thought of the nest hole under the cave. Did the Shadow Hunter’s newly hatched offspring drag Ian’s corpse away?
Whoosh!
At this moment, Haisha’s figure flickered and appeared as fast as teleporting in front of the cave. She looked inside, and there was a glimmer of light in her eyes when she saw the Shadow Hunter’s corpse lying on the ground. When she came to the huge corpse, she immediately saw the wound on the corpse. There wasn’t any other wound, so this seemed to be a fatal blow!
Her face changed slightly, then she jumped up to the Shadow Hunter’s corpse and lightly touch the edge of the wound. She gently sniffed the thick mucus that stained her delicate fingertips, and then her pupils contracted.
Dean entered the cave and saw Haisha’s action, asking, “Do you know what killed it? Isn’t the legendary monster the strongest monster? How can it be killed like this? Could it be that there are stronger monsters above legendary monsters?”
Haisha jumped down from the corpse, and her face became a bit gloomy, saying, “Of course, any kind of monsters exists in the depths of the Wasteland, even monsters that can destroy the Giant Wall. If I’m not wrong, this Shadow Hunter killer should be… the Legendary Hunter!”
“Legendary Hunter?” Dean was stunned. He heard this name for the first time, but the name alone was quite scary.
“This is one of the monsters from the Wasteland. Like its name, the Legendary Hunter likes to kill legendary monsters and other rare monsters. It is very ferocious,” Haisha narrowed her eyes, “Encountering the Legendary Hunter, most of the legendary monsters can only die, even Pioneers can only hardly escape.”
Dean was stunned again and again, although he knew the truth of ‘there were skies beyond the sky’ 1 , he didn’t expect a super monster like the Legendary Hunter. Are there monsters that were stronger and more terrifying than the Legendary Hunter at the apex of this world?
“I didn’t expect that there is a Legendary Hunter sneaking into our territory.” Haisha turned and walked out of the cave. Scanning the surroundings, her eyes fell at a big tree. She was silent for a moment and turned to Dean, saying, “I must find this monster as soon as possible; otherwise, all the rare monsters in our Dragon Family’s site will be plundered.”
