Chapter 1492  Hunter (5)

After two hours, the party gathered with their harvest. Everyone was doing well, not so troubled to face the Rank 2 Calamity. Again, the most significant contribution was certainly Avyn. Her Frost did not just restrain the calamity but also weakened them. That was the main reason why Calamity Mud Dragon and Calamity Mud Serpent were easy to kill.

In the two hours time, they managed to hunt two hundred and thirty-two Rank 2 Calamity. While many managed to break free from the frozen swamp, many also did not survive from the frozen swamp. He heard a lot of killing notifications even while everyone gathered around him. That meant they died because they were frozen for too long.

Tang Shaoyang put everything into his inventory, and his inventory would be half-full by the time he finished the frozen calamity. Unfortunately, the bodies of calamity could not be stacked. Each corpse took one spot of the inventory, "Can you return to the city, Aerelion? I need to dump these bodies to Madaki."

The easy solution was to send one of his spirits to the city and switch positions with his spirit. By the time he finished harvesting the frozen calamity, his inventory would be half-full. On top of that, they were not that far from the city, so it would not take that much time for Aerelion to reach the city.

The Infernal Wyvern immediately flew toward the city, and Avyn melted the swamp. The swamp returned to normal. Even though it melted instantly, the water was still ice cold. Soon the body of Rank 2 Calamity floated on the surface.

Not all Calamity Mud Serpents and Calamity Mud Dragons died, but Tang Shaoyang did not want to wait for too long just for another twenty or thirty Rank 2 Calamity. He planned to go to the next prey instead.

Tang Shaoyang did not leave a single body and his inventory was indeed half-full after everything. Four hundred and eighty-one Rank 2 Calamity mixed Calamity Mud Dragon and Calamity Mud Serpent. The serpent had a far more miserable time than the dragon who had feet. The serpent was wriggling in the ice without being able to control its body and became an easy target.

"We have killed a lot of Rank 2 Calamity…" At first Tang Shaoyang did not think much about it, but then he saw his inventory. Four hundred and eighty-two Rank 2 Calamity, meaning he got 4820 points in two hours, "Does that mean my name is in the top 100?" He immediately checked his current point.

[Tang Shaoyang - 5073]

It did not show him the rank, but the system let him check his total points, "More than five thousand? I am almost in the top 20 even." He let out a chuckle. Two hours ago, his score was just a measly 253 points.

"We should look at something similar to the swamp. If we can find one more area like that with rank 2 Calamity. It should be easy to catch up to the first place," Vandir commented.

If all the hunt was this easy, then they really might catch up to Ian Carmen in a few days. Unfortunately, this was the only area where the calamity lived in the water. There was a similar lake, but the calamity inside the lake was Rank 4 and above. They had tried Avyn's frost aura on Rank 4 Calamity. She could freeze them, but that was it. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Rank 4 Calamity easily broke free from the ice and fought them on the surface. Different from the stupid serpent that wriggled on the slick ice. The Rank 4 Calamity could fly, as if they could use a flying skill. That was what he tried yesterday, and the moment he realized the Rank 4 Calamity could fly, he escaped, not taking the risk of fighting the unknown Rank 4 Calamity.

"Aerelion is near the city, wait for me here."

Tang Shaoyang used [Spirit Switch] and switched places with Aerelion. Aerelion did not come closer to the city. The guards and the other participants might mistake Aerelion for a calamity if he came too close to the city.

As he arrived at the south gate, he received a sharp glare from the two guards. It must be because of the incident against The Sorc Clan. But it still did not make sense for the two guards to give such hostility just because of what happened.

He shrugged and walked past them into the city. Merely glare did not bother him. Instead of going directly to the market, he walked closer to the screen, curious about his rank. The bar to the top 20 was raised once more by five hundred points.

[20. Timo Alain Woodgate - 5620]

He looked for his name. Even though the point did not differ that much, he was not in the top 30 or even top 40.

[42. Tang Shaoyang - 5073]

Less than six hundred points gap, it was a close gap, but not so close in the rank, 'But getting top 20 today is feasible.' He left the square, going to the market to meet Madaki.

"Isn't it too early for you to come? I thought you were going serious starting today?" Madaki was sitting behind the counter of his shop in his tank top, waving his legs while having roasted peanuts.

Ever since receiving his Tortoine order, he never took another customer. That was right, Madaki was like Tang Shaoyang's personal butcher. He only worked for Tang Shaoyang and refused the other customers.

"I come to drop the bodies. My inventory is half-full, so I think it's better to drop them before going to the deeper area."

The burly man immediately stood up from his chair, waving his hand toward Tang Shaoyang to follow him to the workshop, "Do we have more tortoine today?"

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "I told you, yesterday would be the last tortoine…." He noticed the tortoine still filled half of the workshop, "I don't think you have enough space…."

"Just fill the workshop. I rent a storage space, and you will put the remaining space there."

Tang Shaoyang dumped a little over a hundred of Calamity Mud Dragon. He stacked them up till the bodies touched the ceiling.

"Hoho… You really just want to hunt the calamity with high value, huh? Do you want to eat meat as well? I think Manoe will gladly take this fake dragon meat," Madaki checked the condition and furrowed his brow. From six bodies, he noticed three different marks. It was as if different people killed them instead of the same person.

After filling the workshop, Madaki led Tang Shaoyang to the workshop and dumped the remaining bodies. If he had a suspicion before, he was now sure that all these calamities were caused by different people. He saw the clean cut in the neck, Tang Shaoyang's signature way of killing the monster. But in some monsters, he noticed the crude cut and some of them seemed to be frozen to death as well.

"I thought you were hunting solo. Are you joining a party?"

"It's a party, but also not a party," They were his spirits, and it was not an official party, "I don't care about the meat. You can sell them to Manoe, and I will not take anything from you if you want. Alright, I am done here."

He switched places with Vandir without prior notice. The skeleton was shocked that he was suddenly in the storage space with unknown as well as calamity bodies. His dark aura flared out, thinking he might be in danger. But then he was recalled by Tang Shaoyang quickly.

Madaki witnessed everything, including the skeleton. That caught him off guard, and almost snapped at the skeleton. But then he quickly realized the skeleton was Tang Shaoyang's.

"So that's what he means by it's a party, but not a party. Necromancer-related class, huh?"
