Chapter 101 Fear Of The Unknown

At the end, Gabriel decided to give it a try, the hunters kept the beast inside their spatial ring.

They wanted to continued on their mission immediately but Gabriel warned them against it because of their injuries.

It would be a pain in the ass if their blood draw the attention of more trouble some beast, that way they won't even make progress in their mission.

So he suggested they rest and take healing pills to make their injuries get healed rapidly, that one would be better and also faster.

Beast are attracted to blood, they get even more attracted to it when it's open, that's a basic knowledge for everyone who are hunting.

Two days later, the ones with minor injuries were already healed and the ones with chopped off body part covered those body parts with thick clothing to prevent it from anything that is attracted to it.

Two hours after they continued their mission, they reached a spot where they found the large dent left by the dent of a big beast, nevertheless that beast was no other than rocky.

The little chunks of body parts they saw was nothing more than the part of the wild wolf that did not get into rocky's mouth at first bite.

As he was a very large beast, the skins of the wolf was nothing more than a small chop of Yam that can rejected without regret.

"A feet this big, don't tell me the Serpent Queen has undergone another evolution and that evolution has caused it to increase in size, that one that time made it's intelligent to increase and be on per with humans but now it's size, what the hell is that?" The hunters were terrified at the size of the dent that they started arguing about the identity of the beast.

At that moment, a howl of pain escaped from a demonic beast in the forest. it sent a chill right through the whole place and the hunters were terrified. most of them took out their weapons and brace themselves for a battle to take place anytime soon.

The earth shook, the trees swayed as something matched their way.

'No, please heaven don't make a beast appear now.' Gabriel let out a prayer in his heart as the beast drew nearer.

The distance between them and the unseen beast was decreasing,.they could tell that by the sound of the thump left by a step that was getting louder and louder each time, even faster.

"If this is how you guys hunt, then why not quit' A distinct male voice came from that direction, soon Rocky and Jordan was displayed to the crowd.

Gabriel let out a sigh of relief, thankfully the beast they were scarred of was nothing more than a mount beast to a dignified young master of the capital city mayor family, young master Jordan.

He is the real leader of the merchant guild which is infact an extension of the capital city family business, it started as a small trade and became a world known trademark after establishment.

"Greetings, young master Jordan" They greeted him with their heads lowered to the ground, Jordan nodded, he did not harbour any ill intent against them.

The reason he said that was just to give them a good warning as it seems their hunting practice was too old fashioned and lack common senses of the changes that the world have experienced as time progressed.

Getting so worked up when the enemy hasn't even been seen is a very bad thing.

Humans are built different, most with a strong heart to take fear and withstand it and those who don't, the later tends to die from fear, or get traumatized.

He gave them this warning.

"Thank you young master, your lessons will never be forsaken.'

Jordan waved his hands.

"It's none of my business if you don't, anyway that's not the reason why I'm here"

"What might have brought the young master to some lowlifes like us"

"Sigh* this is someone I'm looking for, he usually runs through this forest to hunt, I guess one or two of you have a clue have seen him before''

He was holding up the drawing of Liam, it wasn't that detailed but it was very easy to know who was drawn there because of the red hair.

'Why is the young master after him. this is really bad. or is it good. I don't even know.' Gabriel yelled in his hearts.

The whole situation was confusing, Liam was a fellow that has appeared suddenly and his prowess was really good that he even have thoughts to bring him to help them and now they are before the young master who was looking for him.

All of the hunters including Gabriel shook their head in response.

Jordan folded it and kept it back in the ring, "Thanks for your response, if you happened to see him during your hunt, inform the merchant guild."

After saying that he left on the rocky.

The hunters let out a sigh of relief, just now in the presence of the young master they were unable to breath properly.

It was a relief that he left, if not at least one of them might have fainted.

"For the young master to search for someone like this, it means it's really serious, how important of a person can someone that young be?" Cletus said with a sigh, young ones nowadays always tends to get into troubles with popular figures, they don't know how high the sky is anymore.

"He stole something from them I guess, maybe a technique or something really important. but all of that is not my business, at the moment we only have to get this mission done and return home."

"I agree with you, it's the mayor family business, they have all the help they want to get him."

....

Meanwhile, in midair Jordan was looking at the sun with a wierd look on his dark handsome face.

Why was everything getting this difficult, he have searched a large part of the Grained earth forest but he did not get a single clue about his whereabouts.

Even the hunter don't recognize him, meaning he is not one of them.

The words that the lady at the merchant guild said was by no means a false one.

If that was that, then what should he do next, that one was really bothering.

He flew through the air for almost two hours before evening approached, seeing this he decided to land in the forest with rocky.

Getting into a city or anywhere will make things pretty difficult.

After he landed, he used the body of the rocky as a rest place and started moving essence round his body.

The curse usually starts at night, once it begins it take a strong hold of him, it comes with too much power that usually make him really weak and cause him to get internal injuries.

Almost an hour later, the sun sank into the sky, giving the moon the privilege to take control of the night.

Immediately that moon gave the world it's night, a strong explosion occurred inside Jordan's mental domain which was usually peaceful.

At the same time, this strong explosion started turning into something really powerful that took over his mental domain.

It was the curse.

Jordan has faced this for so many times that he started getting used to it, the pain did not cause him to scream in pain anymore.

Soon his mental domain was taken control of, the human mentality was replaced with the mentality of a strong predator.

His eyes turned bloodshot, his skin started hardening, turning into a really durable serpent scale.

Fangs formed inside his mouth, the fangs bore into his lip causing them to bleed.

*Pant

*Pant

Jordan panted like a beast as his transformation completed.

(: Rocky was summoned back to the ring, because he is in a state of unstable mental state it would be impossible to control his own beast even that of others)

Not only did his body transform, his cultivation also experienced a leap.

He was not only at the peak of a realm, but at the peak of the mortal stage, a stage all cultivator dreams to reach.

Soon, there was a wolf drawn to the smell of blood that leaked from his lip after his fang caused injuries to it.

The wolf stared at the cursed Jordan with a look of submission, it regretted it's choice of goin after the smell of blood.

It was a nature that it was born with, the hunger for blood, for flesh and the teeth always ready to crack bones.

But now, a monster was regrettings it's actions of doing such a thing.

That feeling of regret and fear took over its mentality and bore into his body, leaving it stagnant.

Jordan let out a growl as he attacked the wolf, took it down easily with the strength of a peak stage transcending human cultivator.
