Evolution Theory of the Hunter Chapter 130

I was currently wearing the ‘Defense Leather Armor’ that was upgraded to level 4 instead of the destroyed Black Plate Armor .

Since I had additional defense from the armor on top of my normal defense stat my exposed body parts shouldn’t be penetrated by regular swords or bullets for the most part .

It would still be difficult to block machine guns though .

Since there was nothing wrong about being careful, I wore a level 1 helmet backwards . It was protecting my entire head like this .

“Ahhh!”

“My leg!”

The enemies that couldn’t be seen were firing guns from the forest while the government team was falling in that gun ceremony one by one .

There still weren’t that many casualties compared to the fact that we had been ambushed .

During that time, the government team lined up the tankers at the front while the ranged attackers were counterattacking from behind from time to time .

The countermeasure was quite good considering it was a sudden ambush that utilized guns .

It meant that the measure to take against gunfire was in the manual as well . It did seem like the preparations were done well .

However, it was still difficult to tell how many enemies there were in the forest . The forest had many places to hide in the first place but the base just had to be a low land .

To break the barricade one had to go up the hill but it was a disadvantageous condition for the attacker .

Looking at it like this, it really did seem like they were aiming for this .

The area for the base may have been influenced by Han Joon-suk as well .

“Over there is dangerous! Get back immediately!”

A hunter that was crouching to the side found me and shouted in a loud voice .

Name : Park Chan-hyung

Equipment : Bullhorn Bow (3) , Well Tanned Wolf Leather Armor (4)

Skill : Detect (3)

Detect .

He had a pretty eye catching skill . As a skill that let you see the location of enemies that you can’t see it didn’t have additional attack power but it was quite useful in an obstacle ridden environment like this .

I went to him and shouted .

“Can you figure out the location of the enemies?”

“I can, no, it is possible . But how did you……?”

“That is not what’s important right now . It’s fine if its approximate so please tell me their locations . ”

“It’s a skill that uses sound as its base so I can only figure out the location of the ones that use guns . ”

“That’s fine so please tell me for now . ”

He drew a picture on the ground . Bullets were flying around with the base as the center .

Among them, the place with the highest concentration of enemies was south with the base as the center . The place with the least was the north . There was practically no one there .

Since he said that it uses sound to find them it should be safe to say that bullets aren’t being shot from there .

“It should be fine to retreat to this direction . ”

“I also reported so . ”

In the first place, the formation itself was defending with the north to the back . If we retreated like that then it seemed like it would be possible to get through the attack without much damage .

However…… .

“It’s too obvious . ”

“Yes?”

“This is the same thing opening the road for us to run away to the north route . ”

“I, I see . ”

He made a surprised expression and inspected the distribution map he drew himself once more .

It was something that could be figured out quickly after looking at this distribution map normally .

However, it was currently a situation where the enemy ambushed and bullets were flying in . It would be difficult to interpret the situation clearly .

If it wasn’t an outsider like me and also predicted that Han Jung-ho would have probably prepared something that is .

I raised my head and payed attention to the government team’s movements . The hunters were slowly retreating to the north route .

If the enemies really were waiting to ambush then it was the same thing as running into a trap on their own .

What to do .

I still didn’t know how many Chungho Group members were waiting to ambush .

I couldn’t leave out the possibility of being in front of thousands of enemies if I went in on my own .

On top of that, the armor I was currently wearing was level 4 . I could just dodge or block melee attacks but if ranged attacks were focused on me then it would be impossible for me to withstand on my own .

It would be easier if the enemy was a monster . However, the enemy was human . They were more cunning than any monster and were more intelligent too .

Looking down on them because of their low levels was enough with just the government team .

In fact, Wee Oong Bee was a level 6 hunter and had the level 7 Eight Trigrams Scutum .

Even having a few guys like that would be critically dangerous .

It was hard on my own .

Then I just had to call for numbers . I was a bit sorry for my party members but well .

The number of items I had right now was 164 .

The number items dropped in the past week was 151 and the ones left over was 13 . In terms of level, 76 level 1, 41 level 2, 30 level 3, 15 level 4, 2 level 5 .

All together the price was 90b . Even thought we had sweep the entire area of a 10km radius from the lake, it was still an astronomical amount .

I used them all with the Pure Gold Ring .

Looking at the monsters that piled up in the manual I started wondering if this was really the right thing to do for a moment but there should be as much to gain from the Chungho Group as I pour in .

Looking at the monsters that piled up in the manual I started wondering if this was really the right thing to do for a moment but there should be as much to gain from the Chungho Group as I pour in .

I selected monsters that could only be seen in the forest region . The ones that appeared here have a high chance of being optimized to this area after all .

After checking the monsters that had piled up in the manual, I took out the Dancing Sword .

I stepped on it to cross the battlefield and went up the hill .

I could hear the government team that was retreating shout at me .

“Who is that? Why is he moving on his own…… . ”

“Come back immediately!”

“d.a.m.n it! Where’s he affiliated to?”

Swearing poured out from behind .

It was a normal response for them . They were probably thinking that the retreat route might get blocked because of me .

However, the direction they were headed to was the entrance to h.e.l.l . I had no thoughts or need to explain that to them .

Gunfire echoed from every direction . It was aimed at me who had suddenly popped out .

Several shots grazed my body but I only got dull feeling and didn’t really receive damage .

There were no bullets that could penetrate items in the first place after all .

It might only become dangerous once they use high explosives .

Even that wouldn’t have been effective if I had some proper equipment . Like how the monsters endured it .

I used the Dancing Sword to escape the lowland and enter the northside forest .

As expected, I couldn’t see any enemies here . The bullets that were flying at me didn’t come either .

However, I was able to feel it .

The cold auras in the front .

Should I call this bloodthirst? In any case, I could feel the sharpened aura of a beast waiting for their prey from the forest in front of me .

How many in the world were hiding?

I took out an eagle from the manual .

“Go check the locations of the enemies . ”

It nodded its head and flew up to the sky .

Since I couldn’t detect their exact location either, I sent it ahead and ran after it . After running like that for 10 minutes or so, a sloped path appeared .

The eagle circled in the air and cried loudly .

Is it this place .

A sloped path was a good place to lie in ambush . If it was to kill the government team that escaped desperately then there was no place better than this .

I held the Dancing Sword and slowly went up the sloped path .

I felt p.r.i.c.kly all over my body . It was a sensation like needles poking my entire body .

I felt p.r.i.c.kly all over my body . It was a sensation like needles poking my entire body .

However, there were no one that showed themselves even after I got all the way up the path .

Are they waiting because it’s just one? They probably wouldn’t want to risk wasting the chance to get rid of the government team .

I was wondering if I should actively look for them myself but soon found out that it wasn’t necessary .

A person showed up somewhere on the sloped path .

Even if it was pretty far, it wasn’t enough to be unable to recognize the face .

It was Han Jung-ho .

He slowly opened his mouth after coming about 20 steps away .

“It’s been a while . ”

“We’re not exactly friendly are we?”

We had only exchanged words once . It was when Ezekiel and Chungho Group had the level 7 Gragorian’s corpse between them .

At that time, I had left the Martial Artist Longsword with Wee Oong-bee in hopes that they would fight each other .

Consequently, it didn’t seem like they fought properly though .

Of course, I think that that was the best course of action at the time . Team Delta couldn’t win against both organizations after all . However, I didn’t know that the two would hold hands .

I had looked down on Ezekiel too much . I couldn’t have imagined that they would hold hands with Chungho Group, much less the ones that they had been in mortal combat with .

Han Jung-ho snorted .

“I won’t ask you why you’re here . If you pa.s.s by I won’t trouble you with past events . ”

“Sorry but I came here to meet you, you see . ”

He twitched his eyebrow .

“Me? Why?”

“I had a few things I was curious about . For now, I wanted to ask how you became chummy with the Chungho Group . ”

No, what are you going to do if you glare scarily at me like that .

The end of my mouth twisted up as matched sights with the bloodthirsty guy . The two people’s line of sight tangled and the first one to talk was Han Jung-ho .

“How much do you know?”

“From holding hands with the Chungho Group to trying to destroy the government team I guess?”

It was a speculation to the end but since he was here then it was probably a pretty close guess . As I expected, I could feel his expression stiffen .

“If it’s that much then it is a sufficient reason to kill you . ”

He said so and rolled up his sleeves .

Ah . That guy was the type that didn’t use a weapon huh?

Name : Han Jung-ho

Skill Name : Shockwave Eye (6) (Able to see the flow of all attacks . )

Name : Han Jung-ho

Skill Name : Shockwave Eye (6) (Able to see the flow of all attacks . )

Additional Technique : Blue Dragon Shockwave Fist, calls forth a dragon that goes forward in a straight line .

Rising Dragon Shockwave Fist, calls forth a rising dragon .

Inherent Power, inserts the power of a dragon into one’s own body .

Proficiency : 80

Equipment : Black Belt Martial Artist Uniform (3) (Technique proficiency rises by 10)

The only equipment he had was only one, the Black Belt Martial Artist Uniform . The rest were all level 6 skills . It was a composition that wouldn’t even treat him as a level 6 normally .

However, the Shockwave Eye skill that he has had power greater than that of several equipment of the same level combined .

The Shockwave Fist itself was a powerful damage technique and the pa.s.sive that the Shockwave Eye had was at the level of a cheat .

On top of that, a skill called ‘Inherent Power’ got added as the proficiency rose . I’m guessing that it’s a body strengthening type technique but I’m thinking that it’s better than wearing a regular armor .

At this point, it was a rare skill that was difficult to compare at the same level .

But well .

It was still a level 6 .

I opened my mouth to him who was frowning fiercely and gathering aura .

“So you’re planning on killing me right?”

“Scared?”

“No, if you have such conviction then I feel like it would be fine to kill you . I’m not a good guy but it’s a bit bad if I kill a defenseless person you know . ”

“Bulls.h.i.+t!”

Blue Dragon Shockwave Fist!

The technique name that came out with swearing echoed throughout the forest .

A giant blue dragon attacking me . That opened its huge mouth and flew as if trying to swallow me .

The Dancing Sword with Aura Blade on it blocked its path .

The dragon’s mouth that got split helplessly .

The Dancing Sword split the giant dragon in half in an instant and flew towards Han Jung-ho just like that .

“Hm?”

With a short scream, the sound of something hitting the ground could be heard . After the dragon’s figure disappeared, I could see Han Jung-ho on the ground with a face that was at wit’s end .

“What? What happened?”

He had a stunned expression that didn’t understand the current situation . The disgusting smile that he had until just now was nowhere to be seen .

That’s why you shouldn’t have showed off so much .

I was currently wearing the ‘Defense Leather Armor’ that was upgraded to level 4 instead of the destroyed Black Plate Armor
