Miracle Doctor, Wild Empress: Genius Summoner

Chapter 53 - Wanted Demon Beast

Translated by Luxican

Huang Ling had good luck, she really met a group of five or six hunters.

But these hunters weren't ordinary hunters, they were mercenaries.

There were many types of hunters, there are some hunters who hunted demon beasts and sold them at the Mercenary Union, then, there were mercenaries who only recognized money, but not people, and some mercenaries employed by aristocratic families.

The news of the C-Class Wanted Demon Beast breaking into Yue Wu Mountains, had soon spread to several surrounding counties.

Among the most active were the mercenaries. Eight or nine mercenary groups had already entered the Yue Wu Mountains.

As Huang Ling walked over. A few people were discussing something about besieging a demon beast: "It seems to be a very tough demon beast to fight, according to the latest news it may be fifth-rank demon beast of dual element."

The one talking was the boss of this group of mercenaries called "Blue Wolf", he a was bald man.

"Brother, it's a fifth-rank demon beast and also mutated. This is simply too strong, we aren't its opponents at all. I also heard that the people of "Scorpion Tail" met the Wanted Demon Beast, the result was that most of the members were either injured or directly killed, and the demon beast escaped into the depths of the mountains," the only female warrior in the team looked worried.

This mercenary squad had barely held on in the city of Qi. Their team consisted of four men and one woman, all of them martial artist and most of them at the level of Great Martial Artist.

The Scorpion Tail was a mercenary group of the same level as them, but the Scorpion Tail group had a medical warrior who could use poison.

Even Scorpion Tail had suffered a loss, what could Blue Wolf even do?

"The information you got is not complete, I spent five silver coins to get the news. Scorpion Tail did not kill the Wanted Demon Beast, but it was poisoned and had to retreat into the depths of the mountains." A greedy light flashed in the bald mercenary's eyes.

After several squads of soldiers were killed or injured, the bounty also kept rising, and was now at two hundred gold coins, without adding the value of the demon beast itself.

The fifth-rank demon beast could be considered as rather strong existence. Its flesh, and fur, and the most rare mutation Soulstone, could sell for a lot of money.

Mutated Demon Beast!

After hearing that Huang Ling suddenly jumped and stepped on a few branches, which created a crunching noise.

"Who!" The bald mercenary shouted.

"Excuse me, is the mutant demon beast you are talking about, a demon beast with the wind and thunder attribute?" Huang Ling couldn't wait to jump out, the dual-attribute Soulstone actually came to her by itself!

Her first Soulstone had finally been found!

Several mercenaries thought that the demon beast wanted to ambush them, and they were surprised when they saw a girl like a pink jade carving coming out of the bushes.

The little girl was alone in the deep mountains and old forest.

Her hand held a magic scepter, but the magic scepter wasn't inlaid with any Soulstones.

"Little girl, what are you doing here alone?" The only female mercenary among them walked over.

They were people who had lived on the mainland all their life, and their basic eyesight was still there.

Although Huang Ling's clothes were covered with some dust, they were all made by high-quality materials. The magic scepter was also made of a more than fifty-years-old demon beast bone, the girl had to be of good origin.

But if her family background was good, why was she alone? This made no sense.

However, since the girl was still of good origin, the mercenaries were very willing to make friend with her. Who knows, maybe she would be their employer I the future.

"I'm her to hunt. I need a Soulstone of the dual-attribute wind and thunder. The mutant demon beast you mentioned is exactly what I'm looking for. You should be mercenaries, right? If you can help me catch the mutated demon beast, I will give you 500 ... no, a thousand gold coins," Huang Ling was very generous and reported a sky-high figure without blinking.

***

Wow, she didn't think that Huang Ling was this rich.

In a not far away tree, Yun Sheng sat and watched the mercenaries.

Life is really unfair, she was still worrying about how to get the travel expenses for Yujing City, but Huang Ling actually offered such a high bounty.

After it had become dark, Yun Sheng, thinking of the numerous demon beasts, couldn't light a fire directly, so she had just climbed a tree. After sprinkling some beast repellent powder, she was ready to spend the night on the tree.

Who would have thought she would just after climbing, see Huang Ling approach the bonfire not far away?

Foolishness could really not be cured, Yun Sheng scolded, Huang Ling ran to absolute strangers just now, and these strangers were even mercenaries.

They were all people who moved for money but not life. In the face of such people, how could you expose such a huge amount of money.

On the side, Huang Ling didn't know that the eyes of the mercenaries began to shine with a bright light after she had told them about her money.

They looked at Huang Ling just like they looked at a small white rabbit.

The five people glanced at each other, they had already decided on what they would do.

Regardless of whether they caught the demon beast, they would just have to catch that girl, then threaten her to write a letter to her family asking for a large sum of money, so, the bounty and the ransom would belong to them.

Huang Ling was proud of her decision. Since Uncle Chi didn't want to help her hunt for her Soulstone, she would let others hunt for her, he wouldn't know that the Soulstone wasn't hunted by her anyway.

"Little Girl, you look hungry, come over and eat something warm. Are you a magician? What is your name? Where do you live? We wanted to enter the mountains to hunt demon beasts anyway, we can just take you with us," The female warrior made a sympathetic expression, coaxing Huang Ling to come forward and handed her some food.

Huang Ling happily took the food and ate it.

That night, Huang Ling stayed with the female warrior. Early the next morning, the mercenaries backed up their camp and took Huang Ling into the depths of the mountains.

After the mercenaries left, Yun Sheng also descended from her tree.

"Should we follow them or not?" Yun Sheng always had an ominous feeling when she looked at the direction of the depths of the mountains.

"Xiao, what do you say?" Yun Sheng was undecided, and pulled Xiao Hei up.

Xiao Hei cocked his head, and didn't react for a long time.

"Since silence is in favor, then we will follow them," Yun Sheng took Xiao Hei, and followed the mercenaries into the depths of the mountains.

Again, Yun Shang and Huang Ling disregarded the instructions of Chi Wu and the others.
