Chapter 719: Chapter 285: The Shadow of the Giant Dragon, Tageen Mountain Range (6000)_4

Upon seeing the situation, the group of Snow Barbarians’ expressions changed as they scrutinized Cao Xing and the others for a brief moment.

Without hesitation, they led the ferocious tiger and quickly turned back to leave the place.

“Step… step, step…”

The Snow Barbarians came quickly and left just as fast, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Once they all left, several hunters, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death, collapsed limply on the ground.

“Saved at last…”

“The gods bless us, I’m lucky to be alive…”

Cao Xing directly asked, “What happened to you all, and why were those Snow Barbarians pursuing you?”

After the initial panic subsided, the hunters gradually calmed down.

One of them, a middle-aged man wearing a black hat, expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, brave warriors, for rescuing us. We are hunters from Nice Town, across the Brisban Wilds.”

“We came to the mountains to hunt and search for traces of a mysterious creature.”

“By accident, we intruded into the territory of these Snow Mountain Barbarians and were considered enemies.”

“We kept apologizing, but they wouldn’t listen and chased us all the way here…”

Cao Xing nodded after hearing this, continuing to ask, “What are Snow Mountain Barbarians, and how do they differ from us ordinary humans?”

The man in the black hat responded again, “Honored one, the Snow Barbarians are not structurally different from us.”

“However, they are closed-minded, unwilling to leave the mountains, living as tribespeople.”

“So, we collectively refer to these people as Snow Mountain Barbarians.”

Cao Xing, having heard this, understood the origin of the Snow Barbarians.

He continued to ask, “One more question, you just mentioned you were tracking a mysterious creature.”

“What is this mysterious creature?”

At this point, the hunters exchanged glances.

One of them was about to speak.

But just then, one of the hunters, for some reason, suddenly tilted his head back and collapsed.

“Anaji!”

The hunters cried out in alarm.

They then noticed that two arrows were embedded in the back of the fallen hunter.

“It’s over!”

One of the hunters said, “Those arrows from the Snow Mountain Barbarians have injured his internal organs. Anaji can’t make it…”

Upon hearing this, the other hunters were momentarily stunned, their eyes showing a painful expression.

Cao Xing pondered momentarily, then glanced at the condition of the hunter on the ground.

[Nice Town Hunter: Anaji]

[Level: 15 (Second Order Ordinary Creature)]

[Life Value: 754/2172]

[Status: Fainting, Internal Injury, Bleeding…]

…

He indeed appeared beyond saving.

The hunter on the ground also seemed to know his time had come; a myriad of complex emotions passed over his pale face, finally settling into acceptance.

As a hunter who had long engaged in such mountain hunts, he was akin to constantly dealing with the Death God.

For this day, they were all prepared.

He quietly began explaining his last wishes to his companions beside him.

He told them he had buried a box of Crowns at the wall corner behind his yard, containing all his savings.

In addition, he entrusted them with the care of his wife and two children.

He made these requests one by one.

As hunters who ventured into the mountains together, they were akin to a mutual aid group.

If something happened to someone, the other companions would take responsibility for their last rites.

After all, nobody wanted to die alone in the mountains without any attention, with not even their family knowing about their death.

The atmosphere felt heavy.

As they prepared to carry the hunter back to see his wife and children one last time, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Let me do it.”
