Chapter Forty-Seven: Something Happens to the Hunting Party
In the following days, except for spending time with the little girl Lili, Sean basically spent time in cultivation.
As for the titular sister Yuna, she rarely encounters her, and the other party usually patrols the shops during the day, and can only be met at dinner.
One day, Sean, who had just finished training, was dragged by the little girl Lily to wander around the mansion, and when he walked to the door of the mansion, he suddenly heard rapid footsteps approaching, he looked sideways at the door, and saw a man running quickly towards the Campbell mansion.
Although the man was out of breath and staggered from exhaustion, he still tried his best to run towards the Campbell mansion, obviously there should be something urgent, otherwise it would not have been like this.
As the man approached, a guard finally spotted the man, and the guard glanced at the man and was immediately surprised.
"Nas, why are you back?"
The man's mouth was long, and he wanted to answer the guard's inquiry, but because of the long and violent running, he was out of breath and couldn't open his mouth at all, and after a while, his body stretched slightly, and he barely spoke.
"I want to see the head of the house."
Eventually, the man, supported by two guards, headed deeper into the mansion, where the head of the Campbell family lived.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the man who was being helped away by the two guards, Sean frowned slightly, and asked the guard who had just called out the man's name and obviously knew the man.
Seeing Sean's inquiry, the guard respectfully saluted Sean, and there was a sad tone behind him.
"Back to Master Sean, he is a member of the family hunting team, and at this time, he should be hunting with other hunting team members in the Citula Mountains outside the city, I don't know why he actually came back, and he is still alone."
"Hunting ......"
Hearing his words, Sean raised his eyebrows slightly.
Campbell Comptoir started as a fur business, even if it has been involved in other industries, the annual fur profit has accounted for more than half of the Campbell's profit, in order to obtain high-quality high-end fur, in addition to acquisition, it also has its own hunting team.
Now that one of the members of the hunting party had returned alone, still panting and running almost all the way back, it was clear that something bad had happened.
After a little hesitation, Sean finally walked towards the head of the family's residence.
Although he is no longer the original Sean, and he does not have much sense of belonging to the Campbell family, he never wants to see something happen to the Campbell family.
Not to mention the others, just the expensive tuition fees of the Neo Knight Academy every year are inseparable from a "normal" Campbell family, if the Campbell family loses a lot because of something, then his tuition is estimated to be in vain, which is obviously not what he wants to see.
When Sean arrived in the living room of the main residence, he saw the extremely oppressive living room.
The head of the house, Broad, sat on the throne with a deep frown, and the two uncles of Sean under him were also deeply furrowed.
The man just now was supported to sit on a chair, his breathing was already steady, but his expression was anxious that could not be concealed.
"Father, what's the matter? Is something wrong with the hunting party? ”
Without hesitation, Sean walked straight in, came to Broad's side, and asked.
Hearing Sean's inquiry, Broad looked up with a hint of confusion on his face, as he hadn't sent anyone to inform Sean.
"How do you know?"
"I happened to be at the door, but I didn't know what was going on? What happened to the hunting party? ”
Sean asked.
"A few hours ago, the hunting party was attacked by a very powerful beast, and he is the only one who has escaped, and the others, the details are not clear."
Brod said in a deep voice.
"A very powerful beast?!"
Hearing this, Sean frowned slightly.
The Campbell family's hunting team is naturally different from ordinary hunting teams, usually consisting of a hunting team leader who has practiced chivalry and more than fifty experienced hunters.
Such a combination, even if you encounter some powerful beasts, you can leave calmly, but this time, only one person escaped back, obviously the beasts encountered this time, the strength is not ordinarily strong.
"Big brother, what now?"
One of Sean's uncles stood up and asked with an anxious look on his face.
His name is Vaughn. Campbell, who was Broad's own brother, and the hunting party happened to be under his control, and he was anxious when he learned that something had happened to the hunting team.
No one knows better than him how much effort the Campbells have put into assembling this entire hunting party.
Every hunter in it is a good hand that has spent years or even more than ten years, slowly cultivated from talented servants, and the amount of money spent during this period is huge, it is simply terrifying, if it is lost like this, then the impact on the Campbell family is absolutely great.
"Third brother, calm down, the eldest brother has already called someone to call the three chief guards of Russai, Farr, and Sassoon, and when the time comes, the three of them plus the remaining ten or so hunters will form a search team, and they will be able to start a search immediately."
It was another Uncle of Sean named Busson. Campbell.
"But now that hours have passed, will the beast ......?"
Hear Buson. Campbell's words, Vaughn. The look of anxiety on Campbell's face didn't slow down in the slightest, and he stomped his feet back and forth down the hall before looking back at the man who was reporting the news.
"How strong is that beast?"
"I can't tell, the other party is very fast, I didn't see it clearly, there was a hunter who was scratched, and in the end it was the captain of the horse repair who stopped it, so I had a chance to escape."
The man said in embarrassment.
Hearing this, Vaughn. The look of concern on Campbell's face was even worse.
"I can't even see clearly, so I'm afraid this beast ......"
"Don't worry, they're just on the outskirts of Mount Citura, and they shouldn't encounter too strong beasts."
Broad comforted, but he didn't know the bottom of his own heart for this sentence.
It is true that there are no very powerful beasts on the periphery of the Citula Mountain, but if they come from the inside of the Citula Mountain, it is different, although the powerful beasts rarely appear on the periphery, but sometimes for some reason, there are cases of migration to the periphery.
"Head of house, head of house, head of house."
At that moment, three men entered, one of whom had a bearded face, and walked with a heavy step, like a rampaging bull.
Of the other two men, one of them was a strong man with flaxen hair, and the other was a bald man.
The three of them look different, if you want to find the only thing in common, but the three of them are very burly and strong, just by seeing the three of them, you can guess that there must be terrifying power under the strong muscles of the three people.
"You're here!"
Seeing the three of them, Broad was overjoyed and immediately told the current situation.
After listening to Broad's explanation, the bearded man of the three, that is, the man who had defeated Sean in three moves, spoke.
"The others don't need to, but find an experienced hunter, after all, none of us are good at jungle searching."
"There's no problem with that."
Broad immediately agreed, and discussed the details with the three of them.
And just as they discussed the details and were about to arrange for people to act together, Sean next to him spoke.
"Father, can I go with Uncle Ruse?"
"You ......"
Broder raised his eyebrows and subconsciously retorted.
"No, it's too dangerous."
"Master Sean, if you really want to enter Mount Citura, I can take you alone next time, but this time it won't work, it's too dangerous."
The bearded man Lu Sai also opened his mouth to persuade.
He didn't know about Sean's current strength, but he knew that Sean's strength a year ago couldn't even catch his three moves, even if it increased now, it must not be much, if it was usual, just bring it, and now in this emergency, he would never want to bring a drag oil bottle.
"Really?"
Sean frowned slightly.
He is not arrogant that without himself, the three of them would not be able to save the people of the hunting party, and the reason why they want to follow them is actually because of other reasons.
It has been a few months since the corpse puppet trial, but the corpse puppet with the bloodline talent still makes him remember it vividly, during this time, he has never copied and backed up any talent, so that when he encounters a target with the bloodline talent, he will not miss the opportunity, but unfortunately, months have passed, he still has not found someone with the bloodline talent.
But the words of the hunting team members just now made his heart move.
As far as he knew, the members of the hunting team are good at the jungle, and every hunter has good eyesight, and many people can shoot even a sparrow dozens of meters away once they pick up a bow and arrow, but even the members of the hunting team with such good eyesight actually didn't see the appearance of the beast clearly.
This had to make him wonder, was the beast itself too strong to be extremely fast, or was it just fast?
And he prefers the latter.
Because the captain of the hunting team actually has the strength to stop this beast, obviously the strength of this beast should not be too strong, as for the captain of the hunting team is amazing, he absolutely does not believe this, if the captain of the hunting team really has extremely strong strength, he will not defect to the small force of Campbell Comptoir.
That's right, it's a small force!
Although the Campbell family mixed well in the city of Arsai, the whole kingdom was definitely a sesame seed thrown into the pond, and it was inconspicuous, so he preferred to believe that the beast should just be extremely fast.
This reminded him of the record of the bloodline talent in the library of the Neo Knight Academy.
According to records, the bloodline talent does not only exist in humans, in the corpse puppet, in the beast, there is also the possibility of awakening the bloodline talent, which can't help but make him wonder, will that beast be a beast that has awakened the bloodline talent?
