Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 64: Dispute for Commander's Position

When the Rogue retreated to a distance about 10 yards away from the food, an angry voice rang out, "Shameless fools, do you think this will make me happy? I'll punish your insolence!"

The voice was not loud, but it echoed around the enclosed space, causing headaches to the players. Their hit points even dropped a little.

The Rogue who placed the food wasn't as lucky. He was turned into a giant popsicle and died instantly.

The Rogue didn't drop any equipment, as he had removed everything before placing the food. He revived himself and continued to try different types of food. He tried 10 times, and was killed each time without finding the correct type of food. After his 10th attempt, he looked at Little Dan and shook his head, "Brother Dan, I have no food left."

Little Dan nodded and said to Evil Winds, who had also removed all his equipment, "Evil, it's your turn."

It didn't take long for Evil Winds to die for 10 times as well. He also indicated that he ran out of food.

Little Dan sighed, "Seems like these 20 foods are no good." He then turned towards Thousand Sunsets, "I'll ask Crimson if they made any progress." Judging from Little Dan's facial expression after contacting Crimson Millions, they had failed as well.

"Forget about it, we'll try again tomorrow. We've exhausted all the food we brought." Thousand Sunsets was annoyed. He stood up and was about to leave the dungeon.

Ye Ci wrinkled her eyebrows. They were going to try again tomorrow? How long would it take with such trial and error method? Ye Ci let out a breath. She no longer cared if she was not the person in charge. They were ultimately wasting her time as well. She would rather spend her time doing something else. She stood up and spoke softly, "Let me try."

Thousand Sunsets was momentarily stunned. He had not expected Ye Ci to act. He was also curious at the same time. Had this Huntress figured out the problem that they'd spent a whole day trying to crack? He the asked, "You've prepared some food?"

"It dropped from a monster." Ye Ci replied with a random answer, and it cleared any suspicions that Thousand Sunsets had. He pursed his lips. It appeared to him that Ye Ci was only good in solving the smaller dungeons that were not so difficult, and she was less experienced than Little Dan when it came to the larger dungeons.

After all, she was an 18 year old girl.

Little Dan had been staring at Ye Ci ever since she spoke. He watched as she moved with careful steps towards a position entirely different from where the previous 2 Rogues had placed their food, "Gongzi You, your position is wrong. You can't do it from there."

Wrong position? Can't do it from there? Ye Ci's lips almost twitched. She had placed the Fragrant Seafood countless times in her last life, and now somebody was telling her that her position was wrong.

"I'm just trying it out."

Little Dan was a little unhappy after hearing Ye Ci's answer. He did not remind her to unequip her gear, and was even looking forward to watching her die and drop her equipment.

Despite doing the same thing, the vast difference between their skills was obvious. A Hunter's Perception was lower than that of a Rogue's, and they do not have the Detection skill. Despite that, Ye Ci's steps were light as feather, and she was able to reach the spot in no time.

After quickly placing the food, Ye Ci bent her knees and leapt onto a rock. Using it as a springboard, she leapt gracefully into the air and landed amidst the party members.

She completed the action within seconds, and her grace attracted countless pairs of eyes.

Just as she landed, a hoarse voice sounded, "Mortals are always the most pretentious. Do you think I'll let you live just because you brought my favorite food? No! You mortals only deserve the embrace of death!"
