"Hmph, even if the trial is halted, they won't be able to take us back right away, will they?" The previously sarcastic Hunter spoke up, "Getting one or two warships close to the Yamata Orochi is asking for death. Gathering a whole fleet would definitely take a few days."

"So, what do we do now?" The female Hunter from earlier spoke up again, "The supplies are on the beach, and the rations we have with us might last only a day at most."

As soon as she said this, everyone realized the biggest issue they were facing was the loss of over ninety percent of their supplies.

Hunters aren't superheroes; they need food to eat, and if they don't eat enough, they'll get hungry just the same.

"Don't we have drones? Can't we send a message to that warship and have them deliver some supplies via drone?" Sun Hang asked.

However, a look of awkwardness flashed across Shino's face, and he said quietly, "I just used all four drones to relay the Yamata Orochi's message...right now, no drones can pick up a signal."

"You...can't you use your brain for once?!" The sarcastic Hunter was suddenly agitated, "Four drones, four chances, and every damn one of them wasted by you, idiot!"

"I was worried the drones would crash on the way back to ensure the Yamata Orochi's message was a hundred percent delivered to the warship..." Shino said helplessly, "Besides, no one mentioned needing to replenish supplies!"

"Who said no one mentioned it? Didn't that woman say the supplies fell on the beach?" The other Hunter shouted, pointing at the female Hunter, "Did none of you think to have the warship use drones to resupply us? You're all a bunch of pig brains!"

"Did you think of it yourself?" Sun Hang suddenly interjected.

The Hunter immediately stiffened his neck and swung his fist towards Sun Hang, but the next second, his fist and wrist separated, and blood spurted out like a tap turned on full blast.

"Ah!!!" The Hunter let out a wretched scream and fell heavily to the ground.

The Hunters nearby, who were splattered with blood, immediately froze and discreetly stepped back a few steps.

No one went over to help the Hunter up, nor was anyone willing to help him with his wound.

"Isn't this...a bit too much?" The Fisherman approached Sun Hang and asked quietly.

"Stirring up internal strife in this situation, wantonly blaming others, shirking responsibility, venting emotions recklessly, and attempting to attack teammates..." Sun Hang said unhurriedly, "The fact that I didn't kill him shows a lot of mercy."

"Then...what do you plan to do with him?"

"I'm dealing with him like this."

Sun Hang bent down, picked up the Hunter with the severed hand, and threw him out of the woods forcefully.

The next second, a spiral water column shot out from the sea, piercing through his body.

"Tsk, so it hasn't left yet?" Sun Hang frowned.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill him?" The Fisherman said in amazement.

"I didn't kill him; the Yamata Orochi did." Sun Hang shrugged, "Besides, I chopped off his hand, and with his personality, even if he pretended to yield, he wouldn't be convinced internally. Keeping him in the team would only be a ticking time bomb. Who knows when he might stab you in the back."

"But wasn't there no need to kill him? Couldn't you just drive him away..."

"I don't want to be on guard against someone seeking revenge while I'm sleeping. That would affect the quality of my sleep." Sun Hang raised a finger, "That's very important. If you don't sleep well the night before, you won't have any energy the next day."

The Fisherman glanced at the corpse a dozen meters away and shook his head, "Perhaps...you're right. But aren't you worried that the people from Dubhe Tower will come after you later for doing this?"

"So many Hunters have died already, one more doesn't matter." Sun Hang patted the Fisherman on the shoulder, "The urgent task is to survive."

Sun Hang turned to look at Shino, and the latter shivered when their eyes met.

"This...this was indeed my mistake...it was us being careless when composing the message...I'm willing to take responsibility!" Shino stammered.

Beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, sliding down his cheeks to his chin.

"There's no point dwelling on past events." Sun Hang waved his hand, "Is there any way to contact the destroyer over there?"

"On this island, our drone controller signal transmission range is only five hundred meters. We can only wait for a drone to enter this range or for a drone sent to the warship to return to regain drone control." Shino said.

"Does anyone have the ability to conceal their presence or hide their figure?" Sun Hang asked again, "Can anyone go to the beach to retrieve those supplies?"

Everyone looked at him, but no one dared to respond.

If Sun Hang's actions earlier served as a deterrent, the scene of the Yamata Orochi mercilessly killing that Hunter added another layer of dread to these Hunters' hearts.

No one was willing to gamble with their life.

"This is a bit troublesome..." Sun Hang rubbed his forehead—although he could use mycelium to drag some things from afar, the supplies scattered on the beach were a full kilometer away from the woods, beyond the reach of the mycelium, not to mention many supplies floating on the sea alongside the capsized landing craft.

"How about we try heading inward?" The female Hunter suggested, "We can find those Hunters who passed through the woods earlier. They have plenty of supplies with them...even if they don't want to share with us, we could at least borrow a drone and send a message for resupply."

"I think this idea could work!" Another Hunter immediately agreed, "Didn't they just fire a green flare? It means there's no danger in the woods..."

"Don't you guys find it strange?" Sun Hang suddenly said.

"Strange? What do you mean...strange about what?" The Fisherman asked instinctively.

"The behavior of the Yamata Orochi." Sun Hang said.

"The Yamata Orochi...what's strange about it?"

"Have you considered why, after we entered this part of the forest, the Yamata Orochi stopped attacking us? I don't think we've left its firing range." Sun Hang pointed to the Hunter just shot dead. The corpse was less than twenty meters from where everyone currently stood, "Do you think that water column can't shoot another twenty meters further? Or do you think these sparse tree trunks can serve as our shield?"
