In the dense forest, several spirit hunters with grim expressions meticulously searched the mountains. The Dragon emblem on their chests caused all other spirit hunters who saw them to hurriedly avoid them.

The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group was the largest force in Hildan Town. Not only did they have the powerful leaders the Head and Second Leader, both imperial tier spirit masters but even the Third Leader, Mo Gang, was capable of sweeping through any spirit hunting group. A ninth tier spirit warrior grade, he was a formidable figure in hildan Town.

“Sigh, it’s been days. Why does the Head still insist on searching?” One of the spirit hunters, chewing on a dry piece of jerky, muttered with a slight pout. The leaders were being overly cautious; it was just a fifth tier spirit warrior, after all. Did they really need to go to such lengths?

“I heard he jumped into the Black water River. If he didn’t die from that, it would defy all logic,” another spirit hunter nodded in agreement.

“Stop complaining. That kid Blaze Regret, with his fifth tier strength, defeated Aishi Graze and caused chaos in the Hildan Arena. Unless they see his dead body, the Young Leader and the other leaders won’t rest,” a spirit hunter quickly interjected upon hearing their conversation, noticing that Alex Yandy, standing at the front, was already looking displeased.

Alex Yandy, the head of their small team, had been in the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group for a few years and was still stuck in this position, feeling extremely frustrated. So, whenever a task came up, he eagerly took it on.

“If he’s that strong, wouldn’t we be doomed if we encountered him?” The spirit hunter who had spoken earlier, clearly lacking situational awareness, exclaimed, oblivious to Alex Yandy’s growing displeasure.

“What’s all the noise about? He’s just a fifth tier spirit warrior. How strong can he be? Even if he survived the Black water River, he’d be severely injured. If I see him, I’ll crush him into pulp and toss him into a dung pit!” Alex Yandy shouted impatiently, causing the others to fall silent instantly.

“Rustle!”

At that moment, there was a disturbance in the forest ahead. A blue clad woman, upon seeing Alex Yandy and his group, quickly turned and fled in the opposite direction.

“Ken Aina from the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group?”

Alex Yandy squinted, a wicked smile forming on his lips. “After wandering in the mountains for so long, we’ve finally found some fun. This woman is much more exciting than those in the tavern. Brothers, catch her for me!”

In the quiet forest, a graceful figure dashed swiftly, her pretty face covered in sweat. Behind her, a few spirit hunters with mocking expressions were closing in, the distance between them shrinking with each fallen leaf.

“Damn it!”

The sudden appearance of a horizontal log in her path made Ken Aina’s already pale face even paler. Thinking of the people chasing her, a sense of despair rose sharply in her heart.

“Heh heh, why aren’t you running anymore?” Alex Yandy looked at the halted Ken Aina, a mocking smile playing on his lips. With a wave of his hand, the spirit hunters following him immediately surrounded Ken Aina.

“Alex Yandy, don’t be too arrogant. If Uncle Yun Anuar finds out, he won’t let you off!” Ken Aina bit her lip and said harshly.

“Tch, it’s just a small Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group. What kind of waves can they make? Even if Yun Anuar comes, we’ll still do what we need to do.” Alex Yandy licked his lips and smiled, the other spirit hunters from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group laughed loudly, their gazes towards Ken Aina becoming even more unscrupulous.

Ken Aina’s delicate body trembled slightly, and she took several steps back. But the log behind her, like a mountain, blocked all her hopes of escape.

“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Your Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group isn’t doing too well either. A kid named Blaze Regret tore down our Hildan Arena. If Yun Suhaila doesn’t do something to satisfy our deputy leader, heh heh…” Alex Yandy’s cold laughter continued, as if he was thoroughly enjoying toying with Ken Aina.

“Blaze Regret?” Ken Aina was slightly stunned. She had just returned from outside and didn’t know what had happened in Hildan Town, so hearing the name left her momentarily distracted.

“Impossible, it can’t be that Blaze family wastrel. Other than some alchemist skills, he’s a complete waste in cultivation.

How could he come to Hildan Town and dare to tear down the Rock Desolate Spirit Hunting Group’s arena?” On the surface, Ken Aina’s expression was icy, but her mind was racing with thoughts, feeling a sudden discomfort at the thought of the boy who had embarrassed her at the Atlas Shop.

“Alright, time to get down to business. Are you coming yourself, or should we do it?” Alex Yandy’s smile widened, and he took a step toward Ken Aina.

“Over my dead body!”

Ken Aina’s face hardened, and a surge of icy energy swept through the area. A spirit beast, resembling an ice flower, appeared beside her. With a shudder, it instantly shot an ice spike, gleaming coldly, straight at Alex Yandy.

“Frost Star? A decent spirit beast, but unfortunately, it’s too low grade.”

Alex Yandy sneered, tugging at the corner of his mouth. A round shield suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the incoming ice spike. After a moment of stalling, the ice spike shattered with a crack and fell to the ground.

The spirit beast in front of Alex Yandy was called the Wood Munching Mushroom. It had a chubby mushroom cap on its head, and its hands were also small mushroom caps. It was clear that this was a wood element spirit beast highly adept at defense.

“Sixth tier?” Ken Aina’s face grew even more distressed at the sight of Alex Yandy’s Wood Munching Mushroom. Her Frost Star was only at the third tier. Frost ice could restrain wood to some extent, facing a Wood Munching Mushroom left her with no chance of victory, especially with so many Draconic Spirit Hunters eyeing her menacingly.
