Chapter 9 - Hunting contest

In the last hours, a group of Horned sheep smelled the Cooked meat of their friend, they came to see what is happening.

Zako looked around and saw around twenty sheep looking at him with red eyes.

He is wearing heavy clothes so he can't fight them all without getting injuries.

"Grrr" The sheep was about to attack, but then Zako pulled two guns with Skull draw from under his Grey shirt.

"I'll save time" Zako Smiled as he found a way to attract the other Demonic beasts.

There was a twenty meter between him and them, he raised both the guns and aimed.

The Sheeps Charged fastly to front.

"Hmpf" Aiming at their head, the bullets flew out the Gun with speed it almost impossible for a silver rank to avoid, after all this Gun was enhanced by magic.

*Tak * *Tak*

The bullets were flying toward the Sh.i.p.s Bodies and heads, making them falling Dead.

Zako put his guns back to his pocket, one of the Sh.i.p.s that pretended to be dead suddenly woke up and dashed.

"I was planning to save my energy " Zako lifted his hand and a Green Ki (Spiritual fighting Energy) ball appeared on his palm, the Ball flew out his palm and hit the Sheep.

*Boom*, turning it to a blody corp.

*Running* another Sheep got out in the middle of the smoke and ran toward Zako from behind, zako simply took a step aside letting the sheep pass.

The sheep stopped, turned his head toward Zako while snorting and stomping his leg on the ground.

"Hey, you forgot these" Zako throw a couple of rounded hornes, then the Demonic beast realized it is his.

Seeing this the animal charged again at him, Zako just waved his hand and the Sheep was cut to pieces that fell to the ground.

"Now, I'll take one of them to the deep area, cook it and the Other beasts would come " after that, he took their Crystal, Hornes, and fur around their neck, As he was about to take a sheep from the ground and head toward the Dangerous area. he saw a gang of three youngsters trying to hunt sheep.

"With this rate, we will gain a lot of money "

"Hehe, With brother Li archery skills we would finish the Job swiftly "

"Hey look!!"

"A twenty corp of horned sheep"

The two dazed.

"Isn't that Zako"

"Why I'm keeping seeing you " Zako frowned a bit, but then he remembered, Plot things.

"I'm just hunting , and you, "Nei Li said.

"Hunting " Zako replied while Filling his bag.

"For what purpose "Nei Li asked,

"To gain some pocket money" Well, it's obvious.

"I see, how about to join us "Nei Li offered , in his first life , Zako was a loner and Filled with anger yet he wasn't a bad person, yet when he reached Gold rank fighter in age of 15 he left the City to discover, but that Day his comrade were all dead and he vanished, at first everyone thought he died, or left and Joined the Dark Guild, but when the Monsters Hord came, he came back to fight, but also he killed Lord Ye Mo for some thing personnel which caused the City to Have no backer , then after that day he Vanished, since he still in young age he can change his fate so he wanted to make him join.

"No thanks," Zako said, after having some many Bloods on his hand, he had habbit of working alone.

"If you follow me you will gain a good amount of money " Nei Li tried to temper him.

"As I said, I prefer to work alone "Zako doesn't like to work in the party after all those guys will slow him.

"What arrogant Guy" Lu Piao said frowning as how he is throwing their goodwill.

"He thinks himself knowing everything just by hunting twenty Horned sheep," Du Ze said.

"Oh, really and you, how much did you get" Zako smelled a challenge and thought it would be fun to play with those kids.

"With brother Nie, we hunted Around 230," Li Piao said proudly hitting his c.h.e.s.t like he was the one he hunts them.

"Let's make a deal then, "Zako smirked.

"Deal? "The Three questioned.

"Who hunts better, If you prove your self, I'll join you and give you everything I have, " Zako said

"And if you win, " Nei Li asked, he smiled as it was over.

"You will give me everything you gained for this night "Zako said, and the other two chuckled, Keep Dreaming Bro.

"Hehe, So I'll be senior finally," Lu Piao said.

"Fine deal," Nei Li thought as he wanted to know what method making this guy confident, besides this will be his illegitimate brother in law.

"We will hunt for one hour then we will compare, hurry your gaining here, after the promised time we will meet " Zako and the rest buried the crystals, the fur and the Horns in a hole.

"I see" Nei Li pointed the crossbow the right and a horned Sheep fell Down.

"Haha, this is just the first minute," Lu Piao said Mocking as he took his dagger to take the Crystals of.

45 minutes passed and Zako didn't make any move, meanwhile, the other group hunted almost 40 Horned Sheep.

"Seems you didn't hunt anything, Couldn't you find any sheep " Lu Piao mocked as they passed and saw him empty-handed. 

"Oy, Does any Demonic beast count, " Zako said.

"Yes," Nei Li said.

"I see" Zako Jumped on a tree branch.

*Roar*

He let out a strong Roar out his mouth that many Demonic Beasts heard it.

"What!"

"Are you crazy, Do you want almost every Demonic Beasts to Come"

.

"Too late, if you can't compete It's better for you to hide " Zako jumped from the Tree Bruch and Landed on the Ground.

*Footsteps*

*Awoo* Many Demonic beasts start coming to the source of the sound, there were Some Demonic tigers with Height of two meters that arrived first with 4 stars bronze rank.

Almost seeing the Human they compete who would take him first.

Zako took his stance and Waved his hand at the first tiger, his five fingers tips drew five lines

*Cut* the head of the tiger was cut to pieces.

Another one Jumped from behind and slammed with its claw, Zako bent down twisted his body and waved again his fingers in arc shape toward the neck, it almost looked like his hand didn't touch the neck .the second tiger's head fell to the ground.

Nanto Seiken is an Assassination art that can slice anything.

The rest of the tigers charged yet they were sliced into pieces.

"Grrr, " many tigers, wolves, foxes, Bears appeared and their number did surpass the hundreds.

'I guess they would annoy me more if they saw Nanto suicho Ken'  Zako jumped back to tree bunch and took his double Gun.

Earlier he made a quite number of bullets and it should be able to kill even Silver rank easily unless they have very hard skin.

"Should we help him Nei Li"

" No, He seems to have a method," He said looking at the double guns that he never saw before, otherwise why would he do a Reckless move,

"Wait, what are those toys in his hand."

"I don't know"

..

*Grr* the Demonic beasts were looking at him with red eyes.

"Jackpot " Zako start aiming at the head and a bullet with speed of the sound pieced Wolf's head with made him fall down.

Seeing this the Beasts charged at once.

Zako kept shooting while aiming at their head when even a beast is about to jump on him he would jump back and shot a bullet to the head, after that he would retreat and charge the Gun, then Kill them again.

The beasts start falling down one after another, while the others were watching.

'What is that weapon ' Nei Li was looking at the gun, yet even with his knowledge, he couldn't find what it is.

Ten minutes later and about 600 3 to 5 stars bronze Rank beasts were on the ground, their parts, fur, fangs, Crystals worth much in compares to Horned Sheep, Even the gaining would at least be worthy of ten thousand Sheep, there were even Demon spirits around.

"So, I guess I'm the winner " Zako said as he turned to the three.

"Damn It," De Zu cursed, he thought he would make a small fortune, yet who would think that would all go in one night.

"Wait, How about you land me those beasts," Nei Li thought and said if he can get those he won't have to hunt for the rest of the week.

"Land you?" He remembered from the Manhua, he would buy some herb then he would raise its price." how much I would gain"

"150%"

"I'm not a bank, ten times fold "

"Sigh. Impossible " Nei li said, even though it's not a problem he wouldn't say yes.

"Then forget it "Zako was Trying to save himself Ten Nights of hunting so he can spend them training.

"Wait, I accept " if he could get the remaining his plans would work faster. 

"Nei Li!" Lu Piao said as he thought it is a losing Deal.

"Don't worry, I have a way" Nei li would make hundreds of folds so tens wouldn't.

"Those crystals are mine, you can have the rest" Zako took a small bag and filled it with some crystals and materials, it should gain him around 8000 thousands Demon spirit coins which would be enough for him for few days.

After this he would buy some herbs , use the Magic to study their Chemical properties then and create a set of new matters and materials that could be Elixirs or anything new, he has mastered Magical Chemistry which is different from Alchemy, as Chemistry is based on endless science theories and Magical Methods that science can't apply.
