Chapter 297 – Pin Down 9

Level Three (part 27)

"Ah mercy, I was only looking and following you because I was curious how you could manage to hunt alone. But now I have experienced it, you can definitely hunt alone and I will never ever follow you again because I don\'t want to die." The chaser spoke fast in one breath. He didn\'t want this weapon to slash his neck suddenly. 

He was scared after looking at this person\'s ghost like movements earlier and didn\'t want to be against him. He had thought that anyone wanting to hunt monsters would at least have one more companion but this guy was on another level he realised.

"If that is so then you can leave now." Qiao was not interested to talk with him any further nor did he want to injure him without any serious excuse. 

"Hah, thanks buddy for sparing my life." The chaser ran away swift as a wind as if he was never present in that place ever. 

After getting rid that chaser, Qiao diverted all his attention towards the monster that had appeared in his sight. This monster was different as it seemed to be a vegetarian unlike every other monster that Qiao had faced till now. It was looking for greenery it seemed but that was sparse because of autumn season. Well it could have just followed the crowd of monsters that knew of underground sources in such cases of surface level lacking food for monsters.

So its appearance here seemed strange.

Underground sources remain intact most of the time, unaffected from the surface weather.

As soon as the monster sensed the presence of a chaser, it started to run blindly. It was running towards the crowd of monsters when Qiao, who was following it saw the number of monsters in the distance. He immediately stopped following behind the monster. 

Before the whole bunch of monsters became aware of his presence, he hid himself behind the trunks of trees. His heart was thumping as if he could die any moment. The group beasts who were ready to pounce on him had definitely scared him. He started retreating hurriedly in a silent manner from his position. Before they could surround the whole area and start searching for him, it was wise to leave their territory. 

After reaching a great distance away, he heaved a sigh of relief. 

"So, this is called escaping form a hair\'s breadth. I practically learned the idiom from my world today." he spoke to himself. He wiped off the sweat on his forehead and sat to rest a while. 

"I am not going to leave until the second hunt is successful." he reminded himself to not decide otherwise. 

He chose another direction yet again to search for a target. He was not going to accept defeat this easy, his motivation was his younger brother and it was the strongest motivation one could ever have. 

For precaution, he decided to use trunks of the trees to move around in case he again met the bunch of monsters. After some time, a target appeared in his sight and he came down and started walking very slow to sense the position of the monster. 

All of a sudden, someone blindly came running at him and embraced him strongly, "Buddy that monster…buddy monster." the previous chaser who had been following him before embraced him and shouted with fear. 

The monster was actually following this guy after he had attacked and failed to finish the hunt. The guy got scared and started running wildly. 

The first time he met, Qiao had pretended that he was not surprised but this second time when he saw how strongly he was embracing him, he could not help but feel disgusted, "You are holding me like a bug, get away first." Qiao sternly asked. 

"Buddy that monster…buddy that monster…" He was yet to explain completely when the monster came in sight again. 

"Oh you…" Qiao was speechless. Both of them started running now. There was no moment for him to think of a way to resolve the situation as he first he needed to create a distance and then think something properly. This chaser was annoying to the point of hell. When he embraced him like a bug, hundreds of wild thoughts brushed past his brain and he needed a few moments to think serenely again. 

"Buddy, stop that monster from chasing and I will renounce any share in the spoils. I swear…" He almost cried and pleaded. Qiao was forced to think how this man had reached level three with this kind of attitude towards severe situations. 

"Then you have to follow my instructions no matter how dangerous it is going to be." Qiao spoke while looking back at the monster. The chaser who was barely running faster saw that Qiao looking back at the monster. If it was him, he would not have looked back at the monster at any cost as it need strong guts to face that triggered monster. 

"I will follow even if you ask me to jump in hell. Just save me right now" 

He was willing to follow whatever instructions for the sake to getting rid this monster. He had already seen the performance from this strong hunter so he felt that he would be able to resolve this situation of his

"Then keep running." Qiao spoke and turned slightly, changing his direction and leaving the chaser alone. The chaser saw this and his jaw fell. He wanted to shout vulgarities but then he remembered what the young man had said. 

He didn\'t want to follow such instructions but to hear the loud roars of the monster behind, he kept running without having any choice. Qiao had chosen to use the raging rampage of the monster against it. It was so focused on the other chaser that it did not [ay attention to him who had decided to come from behind the monster. 

This was the advantage right now. He leapt at trunks of trees quickly and followed behind the monster but he had to wait for the monster to slow down else he won\'t be able to attack. 

"Slow down your speed now." he shouted to give another instruction to the chaser. 

The chaser clearly heard that and wanted to just flip the table. If the first time
