Chapter 1495 Accident In Night Hunting
His natural regeneration took care of most of the wounds. Ever since he reached the Demi-God Rank, he never met an opponent on the same level with the Divine Dragon as an exception. He almost died back then, but his natural regeneration healed him back.
He never used such as Strength Potion, Speed Potion, or any other potions even though Yu recommended him to take those potions.
"I found a group of three lizards." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tang Shaoyang signaled his party to stop and pointed at the tree where the three lizards camouflaged.
"But this one is troublesome," He pointed below, another group of Doom Trolls sauntered below the tree, right below the tree where the Doom Lizard was hiding. It was a group of five Doom Trolls, a Rank 4 Calamity.
Just like Tang Shaoyang and his party, the Doom Trolls were also hunting the Doom Lizard. The Calamity Doom Lizard was the Doom Troll\'s main prey. If he attacked the lizard now, those trolls would come for them as well.
The Doom Troll was armed with a spear and armor. Two of them had bows on the back, while the other three had a shield and a spear. They were totally different from the Rank 1 and Rank 2 Calamity they hunted before.
The troll itself was around four to five meters tall on average. They had black skin and hollow eyes. They looked like undead, but they were alive, or else they did not need food.
"I will fight the trolls, you guys get the lizard?" Vandir whispered in a low voice.
"Shouldn\'t we wait for the trolls to leave instead?" Zara could not help but ask. For the time being, Tang Shaoyang planned to avoid fighting the rank 4 Calamity.
"I should be able to take care of them," Vandir was confident that he would be able to take down five Rank 4 Doom Trolls.
"Nope, we will not fight them or hunt the lizard. We will look for another lizard instead. The troll is too close, and they might hear us fighting the lizard even if they leave the area. Let\'s find another lizard."
Tang Shaoyang was aware of the Doom Trolls living in the black forest. There are more than fifty Doom Troll villages in the forest. If they fought those five trolls, the whole village of Doom Trolls might come for them.
He waved his hand and pulled his party out of the area. As he went away, he used Chaos Eyes to check the troll village. Sure enough, there was a nearby village. If they fought the troll or attracted their attention, they might have to fight the whole village.
"Not now, Vandir. We are focusing on Rank 2 Calamity for now. And we must have some experience with the Rank 3 Calamity first before going for the trolls."
Soon enough, they found another Doom Lizard in a group of four. They crawled on the branch carefully. Just like how Tang Shaoyang hunted them, the lizards were currently hunting as well. They were coming for the Rank 1 Calamity Void Beetle. It was a bug twice the size of the human head. That was the lizard\'s main meal. The Void Beetle did not have any use, even the alchemist did not want them. That was why Tang Shaoyang ignored them most of the time.
"There are four of them. Each of us goes for one?" Tang Shaoyang asked the spirits. There was no tactic in hunting the lizard. A quick ambush should do the job, "At three! One… two… three!"
Four of them disappeared. Tang Shaoyang used Blink while Zara opened The Space Gate for Avyn, Vandir, and herself. Four of them appeared above the four Doom Lizards who were in camouflage. With his Slayer Blade, Tang Shaoyang went for the head.
The Slayer Blade went through the head and killed the lizard. At the same time, he heard the other three notifications. Zara cut the lizard\'s head with the Void Sword. Avyn froze them to death, and Vandir\'s lizard was upside down. However, there was no wound on Vandir\'s lizard.
"Are you curious?" Vandir asked as soon as he noticed his Master looked interested in how he killed the lizard, "It\'s my Death Power. There\'s a skill called Death Touch. It will kill a weaker being than me, a huge limitation to the skill. However, it\'s quite effective to kill a big number of mobs." There was a reason why his title was the Death King. Not just because he was a necromancer, but because he wielded death itself. "Don\'t think about it, Your Majesty. It\'s cool, but not worth learning for the price you have to pay. It will consume your body and your mind," The Death King shook his head.
"Maybe we will find out more about Death once I find a way to utilize my Authority effectively," Tang Shaoyang was interested in sure. But he would not try to obtain it if it was unsafe just like Vandir said. He thought of learning about it from the Authority.
After storing the four lizard bodies, they continued to move up. The hunting for Calamity Doom Lizard went smoothly. They avoided the troll and hunted the lizards. Since they were quite small in number, it took Tang Shaoyang quite a while to finish the quota.
The night was approaching, and Tang Shaoyang was hesitating to continue. He checked his inventory, and he had four hundred and fifty-six. The warning from the store owner he was acquainted with was to avoid hunting at night unless he was confident.
"We have enough for the eyes, but not the heart. We need forty-four more hearts," He muttered, "Should we continue tomorrow?"
"Let\'s continue! It\'s just another hour or two at most," Vandir did not want to continue hunting the lizard tomorrow. He wanted a new challenge instead of the Rank 2 Calamity. That was why he suggested continuing even at night, "And you have sent Aerelion near the city, no? We can return anytime if things get too dangerous."
"Alright, let\'s finish the quota for the day then we return," Tang Shaoyang hesitates, but forty-four hearts should be quick. His estimation would be an hour at most, "We need to be more careful though. The troll is more active than the day. It seemed they noticed that we were also hunting their food."
He continued the hunt at night. The first thing he noticed, as soon as the sun disappeared, it was harder to find the Calamity Doom Lizard at night even with his Chaos Eyes. As if the camouflage was more effective at night.
The second thing he noticed was that several villages sent out more trolls as it seemed like they were determined to find whoever took their food. The patrol was tighter than the day, and the Calamity Doom Lizard was harder to find. Hunting at night proved to be harder for a newbie like Tang Shaoyang.
"Finally, I found the last four," Tang Shaoyang let out a sigh of relief as he discovered the last four lizards to make it five hundred hearts. He had more than two thousand eyes because the Doom Lizard had six eyes. If he had five hundred, that would make three thousand eyes.
He was about to make the last move for the last hunt, but Avyn put her hand to stop Tang Shaoyang, "The troll found us. Don\'t you notice them? They were coming, hundreds of them!"
Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows. He stopped using his Chaos Eyes to scan, thinking they would not be discovered by the troll with how discreet they were. He did a quick scan and found out, three hundred trolls surrounded them, coming toward his direction.
"It seems we have to return for the last four tomorrow," He did not want to fight the troll yet. Since he had set up Aerelion for return, he might as well end the hunt for the day.
As he was about to use [Spirit Switch] with Aerelion, he heard the Infernal Wyvern\'s voice in his head, sounding apologetic as he gave the bad news.
[I apologize, Master. Something killed me. I did not see what killed me, but it killed me in a split second.]
