A certain year, a certain month, a certain day

In a forest somewhere on the Lingzhou continent, five hunters were setting up a tent.

"Everyone move faster, it's starting to rain, and if we can't turn around, we're going to get drenched. A big man with a beard on the back of a tiger and a bear waist stood on the side, and said to the hunters under him.

"Come on, the captain will be done in a moment," said one of the Hunter A, who was busy.

Captain Beard nodded, "Well, that's good. He picked up the wine bag and poured a few sips into his mouth. "Hmm, poof!" Before he could swallow the wine, Captain Beard spit it out.

"Hey, who, what are you doing?" asked Captain Beard, wiping the wine from his mouth and pointing to one of the hunters to his left.

So, what is this hunter doing?

Instead of pitching a tent, he went to pick up some monster excrement and came back. Excrement is being crushed in a pot.

Hearing the captain's question, the hunter stood up and replied, "I...... I think...... The hunter's voice was very comfortable, but he stuttered a little.

"What am I, what am I!" Captain Beard raised his hand and slapped him.

"Smack!" just by listening to the voice, you can know that this slap is not small.

"Why don't you like it if you don't set up a tent and pick up?"

After being slapped in the face, the stammering hunter's eyes were a little red, and he bowed his head and apologized, "Yes.... I'm sorry!" After saying that, he turned around and went to set up the tent.

Captain Beard spat and sneered, "Bah, rubbish.

The other three hunters, Hunter A, Hunter B, and Hunter C, also gave the stammering hunter a look of disdain.

After a while, the rain gradually became heavier, and the tents of Captain Beard and Hunter A, B, and C were also set up.

Seeing the rain getting heavier, Captain Beard ordered, "Alright, let's all go into the tent and take shelter from the rain." Turning his head, he found that the tent of the stammering hunter had just been set up, "Who, you ask if there is anyone willing to squeeze with you." Is there one?" The last question is naturally hunter A, B and C.

The stammering hunter looked at the three of them, showing a pleading look, and asked, "You... You guys.. Who.. Who wants to.... ”

"Sorry, my tent is too small for two people. Hunter A said.

"Uh..... I don't sleep honestly, my feet are always kicking, I'm afraid of hurting you. Hunter B said.

"I ......" Hunter C thought for a moment, the reason is all for the two of you to use, what do I use. "Ah, I don't sleep honestly, and the tent is small. With that, the three men went into their tents.

The stammering hunter turned to look at Captain Beard, only to be glared at by him, "I'm the captain, what are you, and you want to live in a tent with me, okay! With that, he also walked into the tent.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the heart is getting cooler and colder.

It took some more time for the stammering hunter to finally set up his tent, but as he finished, the rain was almost over.

The stammering hunter picked up the potion jar again and continued to mash the monster's excrement into powder.

He insisted on doing this because by mashing the excrement into powder and spilling it around, it would ward off some small monsters.

The monster they wanted to hunt this time was located inside the forest, so he hoped to make some powder and sprinkle it on their camping spot during the night vigil, so that the small monsters would not attack them, and he could sneak a break during the vigil, because he had been keeping vigil by himself during this time, and he hadn't blinked for several days.

"Huh?" was as he pounded the excrement when he suddenly heard a strange noise. Looking out, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Strange, did I hear it wrong?, the stammering hunter wondered in his heart, and stepped out of the tent.

"Crackling. ”

The stammering hunter was startled and looked at the bushes to his left, where the voice had come from.

Swallowing a mouthful of spit, the hunter walked slowly, walking on thin ice with every step. When I got closer, I found that it was a small demon beast covered in red and shaped like a fox.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Oh, this is, a newborn monster, right?" Captain Beard put the monster that the stammering hunter had picked up in the cage and looked at it carefully, "This is what you just picked up?"

The stammering hunter stumbled, "Yes.... That's right, I listen.... I heard something different...."

Captain Beard waved his hand, "Alright, no need to say it." He touched his beard and looked at the hunter A, B, and C, and the stammering hunter, "Everyone also knows, now that we have found a demon beast, you see, whether we continue to go deeper, or give up the task, return to the city, and sell the demon beast for a good price, and we will divide it equally." ”

"Captain, go deeper inside, it's more dangerous, and even if we can find the monster we want to kill, the benefits we can get are definitely not as good as selling a demon beast, so I don't think we should continue to go deeper." Hunter A said, "You are the captain, I think you should take half of the silver taels you got after selling the demon beasts, and we will share the rest." ”

Captain Beard coughed lightly and pretended to think for a while, "I'm so embarrassed, let's divide it evenly." ”

"Alas, captain, you are the leader, thanks to your wise guidance along the way, we can turn evil into good fortune, and taking half of it is definitely not much, you all think so. Hunter A turned to the rest of the group.

"Yes, Hunter A is right. ”

"Captain, don't shirk it, we absolutely agree that you will take half of the benefits. ”

The first opportunity to shoot the sycophant has been grabbed by hunter A, and hunter B and hunter C will naturally not give up the remaining opportunity to pat the sycophant.

However, there were four of them, including Captain Beard, and when they talked about it, they didn't consult the stammering hunters, intentionally or unintentionally.

Captain Beard stood up, nodded, and said, "Okay, since everyone said so, then I won't shirk it, just pack up and get ready to go back." ”

"Yes!" replied in unison.

The tent is typically set up slowly, dismantled quickly, and after a while, everyone packed up and prepared to get up and go back.

Unlike his cautious mentality when he went to the forest, except for the stammering hunter, the remaining four of the five people all had their own ghosts and had calculations.

Captain Beard thought, "I made a fortune this time, I didn't expect that waste to be able to pick up a newborn demon beast, and he didn't get greedy for it himself, but handed it over to us, what a fool." Well...... I have to find a way to get the money from selling the monster to myself. So, let's start with 'him'!"

Hunter A, B, and C have similar ideas to Captain Beard.

The only idea that is different from them is the stammering hunter, his idea is very simple, this time the proceeds from the sale of the demon beast, he doesn't want much, as long as one achievement is enough, and then he will go back to his hometown, take the money, start a small business, and live a small life is enough.

However, God is ruthless, the world is sad, and his little wish is destined to be unfulfilled.

The stammering hunter walked and suddenly noticed that the others had stopped, and he thought that there was some monster in front of him.

I saw that Captain Beard and Hunter A, B, and C gradually turned to face him, and with the sinister smiles on their faces, it was obvious that the four of them had reached a tacit understanding on the same thing without discussion, that is, .......

The stammering hunter had a bad premonition. However, before he could react, the four of them had already restrained him and tied him up.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Woo-" The stammering hunter had a piece of cloth stuffed into his mouth, so he could only make a whining sound.

Captain Beard played with a dagger in his hand, slowly walked in front of him, bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, in order for my brother to live a more comfortable life in the future, I can only kill you here, after all, one less person can share a little more money, you say yes." Ahh

Just when Captain Beard was about to turn his head to ask the three of them, he suddenly felt severe pain in his lower back and back, and turned around to see that it was the hunters A, B, and C who were plotting against him at the same time.

"You.... You guys!" Captain Beard struggled as the corners of his mouth bled from the corners of his mouth.

Hunter B sneered, "Captain, just like you said, for the sake of the three of us in the future, you should also die with this waste!" After saying that, the knife in his hand sank into Captain Beard's body a few inches.

"That's right, without the two of you, we can divide more money. "Hunter Armor said insidiously.

"And the three of you are killing each other?" said Captain Beard, enduring the injury in his back, in a provocative tone.

"Haha, the captain is still thinking about sowing discord at this time, this is a forest full of monsters, if we kill only one person left, what should we do if we encounter monsters later? So don't worry, after killing you, the three of us will not only not fight among ourselves, but will also work together to get out of here. And you two are going to stay here forever. With that, Hunter C pulled out his knife and stabbed him a few more times.

Captain Beard, his eyes were full of unwillingness to fall.

After killing the bearded captain, the three of them prepared to deal with the stammering hunter, and the latter could only keep whining, as if to say "stop", but unfortunately the three hunters in front of them were already greedy.

Just as they were about to start, a powerful demonic aura suddenly came, accompanied by a fox roar.

Everyone looked at it, and a fox-shaped demon beast with a red body like a flame appeared in front of everyone.

Hunters A, B and C were all scared at the moment, this was the first time they had seen a demon beast, and their pants were almost not wet.

The red fox slowly walked up to the three of them, sniffed it with his nose, turned his head and locked his eyes on their bags, ran over and lifted it with his paws to see that in a square cage was the little red fox, which was its child.

The Red Fire Fox was so angry that he even spat out a human language, "Human, damn it!"

After that, he rescued his child from the cage under the frightened eyes of several people, jumped dozens of meters into the air, and after the demon fire in his mouth erupted wildly, burning the neighborhood into a sea of fire, he turned around and left. Only the stammering hunters and A, B, and C were left struggling and fleeing in the flames.

The relentless fire burned their skins, and the miserable cries could not erase the pain in their bodies, only to keep searching for an exit from the fire. In the end, he ran out by mistake.

But there was one person who was not so lucky.

The stammering hunter was now covered in flames, and he could not get up and flee because his hands and feet were tied, so he could only roll and struggle on the ground like a caterpillar.

The flames spit out by the red fire fox are different from ordinary fires, they are demonic fires that contain evil power, and they can't be reduced by simply rolling on the ground a few times.

It would have been nice if he hadn't picked up that little demon beast, if he could have been less weak, wouldn't he have been tied up, abandoned here, and watched the flames devour him.

His consciousness had gradually blurred, and the pain in his body had gradually become numb, and he knew that he was about to die, but he thought that this might be a relief, and if there was an afterlife, he would definitely not be so weak again.
