The Dark King – Chapter 114

Bloody hunter

“A single person?” The other one was puzzled.

Gale slightly nodded: “He should be smearing the undead powder to cover up the smell. The past two days I always smelled an undead chasing behind us. I thought that it was a wandering aimless one. But whoever it is he was walking straight behind us. Moreover when the rain started he stopped. If it was really an undead, it would not take the rain into account. It means that the person chasing us was worried the undead powder would wash away so he was forced to stop.”.

Linda thoughtfully said: “Listening to your talk, I think this person is taking a very tender approach while tracking. Its naïve to think that powder alone can hide the trace. If he is chasing us in a straight line, then the tracking method he uses is judgement by the smell. He knows how to cover up his smell by using the powder but he doesn’t know that when tracking the others he will be easily exposed. He doesn’t know that we have Gale with us…”

Dark skinned girl said: “If he doesn’t have information about our team and still dares to track us then isn’t he stowaway from another consortium? ”

Linda’s face was cold as she spoke: “Maybe a junior, a rookie who strayed into our region. He isn’t aware that he is found. But even if we kill him… there is no reason to do so… ”

“Instead of killing, it is better to catch him and give to consortium. It will be considered as a meritorious service.” Gale said.

Linda got up and said: “Go and check. If he is pleasing to the eye then leave alone or else kill!”

“That clawed dino lizard … …”

“Nick and Reid, you two stay in here. If the beast comes up inform us using the smoke signals.”

Linda gave the instruction to the two and left with Gale and the dark skinned girl. They followed the direction that Gale pointed to.

A desolate street.

After heavy rains, the broken streets were covered with mud and potholes. Moss and vines were soaked in rainwater.

Dudian was in a high-rise looking at the sky. Heavy dark clouds were coming towards his location, indicating that soon a heavy rain would pour.

“Rainy season… Rain is really frequent … …” Dudian said to himself. He took out the arrows from the quiver and began to wipe them one by one.

Afterwards he took out dry food and began to eat slowly so that he could restore his body heat. The early rainy season was not suitable for hunting. As the temperature was still very cold, many large monsters still perched in their nests and slept. Only the bloodthirsty ones would be lurking around looking for prey.

After eating, he picked up the bowl filled with rancid blood. He had found quite a few bowls from a house. Time and radiation had destroyed the things constructed by humans. However there were things that still as they were made of clay. All the bowls in front of him were filled with blood. Time to time small red blood maggots would flutter around bowls to leech the blood.

Dudian stained the tips of arrows with blood and let them dry.


Soon, all of his blood painted arrows were ready and put into the quiver.

“They are coming … …” Dudian looked at the clouds in the sky. The faint thunder sound that he heard seemed to resonate with his heart beat. His eyes squinted looking at a distance on street…

Three figures quickly approached and none of them leaked any odor. They felt like three silent stones.

Dudian put the arrow and pulled the string while he prostrated himself onto the ground. He was tightly staring at the head of the beautiful woman’s figure. He had locked onto her head, waiting for her to enter into his range.

“Three hundred meters away … …” Gale whispered quickly: “Nine o’clock. In front. He should be in alert after our odors disappeared. Now he is motionless. I think there is an ambush…”

“Quickly behead!” Linda said coldly.

“Trap.” Gale said: “He is probably a scout or an archer. We have entered his range. If he is an archer then the best chance for him to shoot us will be when we enter the high-rise, so be careful. If he is a scout, the trap is likely buried inside the high-rise.”

Dark skinned girl glanced around: “There should be no traps on the ground level. If there are then the traps are inside the high-rise.” She was a scout and had learned scouting skills such as pathfinder and traps. Especially, making traps. She had absolute confidence as she spoke. Unless the other side was a mid-level scout and had learned more than she has. But that was impossible since the other side had been exposed.

“I will go in while you two go from left and right sides of the wall. ” Linda quickly made a choice. She knew that they were giving the other side more time to prepare as they dragged acting. She was going to catch the other side in surprise as he wouldn’t expect their arrival!

“Yes!” The two immediately said and went separately.

Linda pulled her sword with one hand and deeply looked at the building. With a sudden forceful push she rushed inside at full speed. She had her sword in front of her chest as she was confident that she would be able to stop any arrows that would come from front.

Direct confrontation!

This was her fighting style. Although she was a woman but her temper was more fiercer than a male’s.

She knew that she was exposed to the enemy’s line of sight. She was quickly calculating the distance in her heart.

Two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and eighty meters ……

When she was about one hundred and twenty meters from the high-rise, she still didn’t see any kind of movement on top of the building. She could help but wonder: “Is he resting on the roof? Didn’t he realize that we are counter-attacking?”

In addition to doubts there was a bit of inexplicable uneasiness in her heart. She was in 100 meters distance from the high-rise, so the arrow had to be shot by now. The distance was closed to sixty meters.

Is the other side not an archer?

She felt perplexed as there was faint feel of anxiety in her heart. But she had reached the bottom of the building. She briefly hesitated but still her fingers clung to the wall and she began to climb up. The wall was corroded so couldn’t carry her weight. That’s why she relied on her speed to crawl up rapidly.

As she was about to climb onto the third floor she felt a chill from backside.

Her heard was aghast as she looked back.

Whoosh!

An arrow was shot when she turned. Puff! The sharp arrow pierced through her cheek into her mouth. A sudden pain hit her brain almost making her scream out loud!
