Hunt

It took Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin a lot of effort to find where Quan Rong lived.

As the only brother of the leader of the Blazing Flame Canine Tribe, his status in the clan was quite high. His residence was also very spacious, and there were two beasts guarding the door.

Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin, who were hiding in the dark, discussed in low voices.

“Are we going to barge in?”

“Let’s not do that. The other party has the advantage in numbers. There are only two of us. We’ll be at a disadvantage.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Let’s wait and see.”

A moment later, Quan Rong walked out of the house with four servants.

Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin immediately followed silently. They saw Quan Rong walk into a large tent. There were several ferocious beast heads hanging at the entrance of the tent.

Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin followed.

It was dim in the tent, and a few beasts were walking back and forth. One of them, who looked like a steward, walked over and asked.

“Are you here for the hunting competition too?”

Hunting competition? Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin often participated in hunting and were experienced. They thought that the hunting competition here was the same as their previous hunts, so they nodded.

“That’s right.”

The canine beast immediately extended his hand. “Two hides per person. You can only enter after delivering the goods.”

Shuang Mu took out a colorless crystal. “We don’t have animal hides. Will crystals do?”

As soon as the canine beast saw the crystal, his eyes immediately lit up. He quickly snatched the crystal and touched it in his hand. “Yes, yes! Of course!”

After confirming that the crystal was real, the person immediately put it away carefully. He looked at Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin as if they were rich people and said solicitously, “Honored guests, please walk in.”

The two brothers followed the canine beast out of the tent and through another door.

As Shuang Mu walked, he asked, “I heard that Quan Rong often comes to your place to play?”

“That’s right. Young Master Quan Rong is a regular here. He used to be a victorious general here, but not long ago, the most powerful slave under him died of illness. The remaining slaves under him are all weaklings who can’t hold on, so he’s been losing recently.”

Shuang Lin was confused. “Do you need slaves to hunt here?”

Instead of answering, the canine beast asked, “I can tell you’re guests from other places, right?”

Shuang Mu replied calmly, “We followed our family here to do business.”

“You have crystals on you. I’m sure your family runs a successful business, right?” The dog beast tried to inquire.

Shuang Mu smiled but said nothing.

Seeing that he did not answer, the canine beast was even more certain of his guess. His attitude became even more solicitous. “The hunting method here is different from outside. The guests don’t need to go down. They just need to send a slave down. Whoever’s slave survives to the end will be the winner.”

At this point, the canine beast stopped. “We’re here.”

In front of him was a huge hunting ground. It was blocked by a wall made of mud and stones. There were beasts patrolling the area from time to time to prevent slaves from escaping.

At the entrance was a huge cage filled with beast slaves.

The canine beast tapped the cage and said, “This is your first time here, and you didn’t prepare slaves. You can choose two slaves from here that you like. The price is negotiable.”

Most of the beast slaves were as thin as sticks, and their faces were numb.

Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin were here to look for someone. They were not interested in this perverted hunting method.

Shuang Lin frowned. “We don’t need slaves.”

“Without slaves, the two of you can’t participate in the hunt.”

Shuang Mu said, “We just came here and don’t know much about the hunting rules here. We plan to take a look first. We’ll take a look first before playing.”

This had happened before. Coupled with the fact that the two guests were wealthy, the canine beast did not think too much about it and agreed readily. “Then go ahead. I’ll go greet the other guests.”

“Mhm.”

After the canine beast walked away, Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin began to look for Quan Rong.

Quan Rong was a rather high-profile person. It wouldn’t be difficult to find him.

It didn’t take long for Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin to find him in the straw shed beside the hunting ground.

At this moment, Quan Rong was eating and chatting with two friends who often came here to play.

When Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin quietly approached the Quan Rong, they happened to hear him say, “I heard yesterday that someone was selling war slaves in Dong City. I immediately rushed over to buy them, but I was too late. All the war slaves were bought.”

His friends felt sorry for him.

“It’s very difficult to buy war slaves. If you have a powerful war slave, you’ll win all the matches in the hunting ground. At that time, you’ll be the ever-victorious general of our Blazing Flame Canine Clan!”

“What a pity! It was rare to come across someone selling war slaves, but you missed the chance!”

Quan Rong sat on the carpet, looking lazy.

He seemed to have thought of something and smiled. “When I catch her, I’ll definitely make her obediently give me that war slave.”

‘Her?’

Both his friends were curious. “Who is she?”

“A female. She took my war slave. I’m about to teach her a lesson.”

Upon hearing that it was a female, their eyes lit up. They quickly asked, “Is that female beautiful?”

A tall, beautiful figure appeared in Quan Rong’s mind, and his smile deepened. “Yeah.”

The topic of conversation between male beasts could never leave females, especially if it was a beautiful female. The male beasts’ interest was completely aroused.

His two friends kept asking for details about the female, wanting to know her name, what tribe she was from, and where she lived.

Quan Rong was annoyed by the questions. He raised his hand and threw a meat bone in their faces. “She’s the princess of Rock City. Don’t even think about making a move on her!”

“Princess? Could it be the legendary Princess Shuang Yin?!”

“That’s her.”

The expressions of his two friends immediately became very complicated. “Rumors say that she’s extremely ugly. Why do you think she’s beautiful? Is there something wrong with your eyes, or is there something wrong with the rumors?”

Quan Rong looked over coldly. “Do you think there’s something wrong with my eyes?”

His two friends were so frightened that they immediately shook their heads and quickly said no.

They wanted to ask for details about Princess Shuang Yin, but someone beside them came to remind them that the hunt was about to begin.

Quan Rong still looked lazy. “I’m not going.”

His two friends quickly asked, “Why?”

“The most powerful slaves under me are dead. The remaining weaklings are useless. Even if I go hunting, I’ll only lose. I don’t like losing.”

“Then rest here. We’ll come back for you after the hunt.”

“Mhm.”

When they were gone, only Quan Rong and his four attendants were left in the straw shed.

There was a big tree beside the straw shed. Shuang Mu and Shuang Lin were lying on the tree trunk. They could see the situation in the straw shed clearly through the gaps in the leaves.

Quan Rong, who was chatting shamelessly earlier, began to doze off.

No one expected two figures to suddenly descend from the sky, penetrate the roof of the shed, and smash to the ground!

Quan Rong was jolted awake!
