Chapter 908: Sunlit Secret Realm (Part 7) - "Chief Hunter"
Chapter 908: Sunlit Secret Realm (Part 7) - "Chief Hunter"
"1, 2, 3... 11, 12." In front of the main house, Yun Zhongmu counted the number of Blue Star players one by one.
Reaching the end, he frowned slightly. "There are 12 in total, including me, that makes 13. One person is missing. Who could it be?"
The players present exchanged glances.
However, everyone was disguised as little blue people, so they couldn't identify each other, let alone figure out who was missing.
Old Li suggested, "Since we're all little blue people and don't know who's who, how about we all state our names? That way, we'll know who's not here."
"Sounds good," Yun Zhongmu agreed.
But Zhong Feng shook his head. "No need. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably CT who's missing."
Among all the little blue people, Zhong Feng remembered Su Yu the most clearly.
As the overall commander of the secret realm, Su Yu would definitely step forward to take charge in such a situation.
Since Su Yu hadn't stepped forward, it could only mean he wasn't there.
"So it's CT who's missing?" Yun Zhongmu nodded.
He couldn't believe that at such a crucial moment, the most important person was absent.
CT had never let them down before. What happened this time?
"Has anyone seen CT?" Yun Zhongmu looked around at the other players.
"No," the players shook their heads.
Old Meng said, "I was wandering around the eastern alley earlier and didn't see any other players."
The usually silent Ice Black Tea spoke up, "I've been mapping the entire village. I saw two who looked like players, but I don't know what CT looks like, so even if I saw him, I wouldn't recognize him."
"True," Yun Zhongmu sighed. "We're all strangers in a foreign land, so there's no way to find CT... Our only option seems to be waiting for him to return."
"Agreed," the others nodded in unison.
They could only hope CT hadn't forgotten about the meeting and would come back soon.
"But we can't waste time," Old Li said. "As we decided before entering the secret realm, if CT isn't here, then Zhong Feng will take charge."
He looked at Zhong Feng. "Time is short. Let's get started."
"Alright, I'll take the lead for now," Zhong Feng said without hesitation. "Everyone is still hungry, so I'll hand over the command to CT when he returns."
"Sounds good," the others had no objections. Zhong Feng was indeed the right choice to lead them.
They all turned to him, and the meeting officially began.
Zhong Feng took out the paper with the exchange list, glanced at the back, and said, "Our first priority is to solve the food problem and avoid starving to death.
Yun Zhongmu, Old Li, and Old Meng, you three have been in the village the longest. Do you have any ideas on how to get food?"
Yun Zhongmu raised his hand and answered first, "Based on my experience, working for the villagers can earn us some rewards and food."
"My findings are similar," Old Li said next. "Since our ultimate goal is fishing, I checked out the dock. They're short on hands, and the ship captain invited me to work on his boat after we talked for a bit."
Old Meng also agreed. "The eastern alley is the same. Helping the blacksmith forge metal or assisting farmers in the fields can earn us decent rewards."
Zhong Feng summarized, "It seems we need to work for the locals to earn rewards and food. Once we've accumulated enough, we can buy fishing gear and start fishing in the lake."
Cloud Shepherd nodded, "That's probably the case. Through legal channels, there's no other way."
"Then..."
Zhong Feng was about to say, "If that's the case, then everyone should go to work."
However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted from the north. It seemed like something was happening.
"Wait, is it a hidden quest?" Cloud Shepherd turned his head in that direction, his eyes lighting up.
The other players were equally excited.
They were all professional gamers, so they naturally had a professional instinct.
When something unusual happened in a game, it usually meant a hidden quest had spawned! Although this secret realm wasn't a game, it was similar enough that they couldn't help but think along those lines.
"Should we go check it out?" Old Li was eager to give it a try.
"Sure, let's go take a look," Zhong Feng agreed as the leader.
It wouldn't take much time to take a look, and if there was anything special, they might benefit from it.
The group quickly moved in the direction of the commotion.
...
But after turning a corner, the scene before them left the 13 Blue Star players stunned.
They saw a thin, small blue-skinned person walking down the road, carrying a massive beast on his shoulder. The beast looked like a cross between a rhinoceros and a wild boar.
The hard cobblestone road was marked with deep footprints, showing just how heavy the beast was!
Many local villagers surrounded him, marveling at the enormous prey. They hadn't seen such a large catch in a long time and were full of praise.
"Good heavens! Such a huge prey! This person must be the village's chief hunter!" Old Li exclaimed first.
"I agree," Cloud Shepherd added, "We first-stage cultivators are too small to carry such a large beast. It would take at least a second-stage upper rank. This hunter's status in the village must be quite high!"
Old Meng whistled, "This beast looks so fat. If we could make it into roasted meat..."
He stopped mid-sentence because just mentioning "roast meat" made him even hungrier.
"Let's go over there!" Old Li took the first step, heading toward the "hunter."
"Hold on!" Zhong Feng pulled him back.
"What's wrong? Why are you stopping me?" Old Li turned back, puzzled, "This hunter has such a large prey. He'll definitely need to butcher and skin it. If we help him, he might reward us with a piece of meat!"
Cloud Shepherd chimed in, "Right, this hunter is quite skilled. We might trigger a hidden quest from him."
"There are no hidden quests, and he's not a hunter," Zhong Feng shook his head with a wry smile.
"How do you know that?" Old Li and Cloud Shepherd were skeptical.
But at that moment, the person they called the "hunter" had already reached them.
"What are you all standing around for?" Su Yu bent forward and tossed the massive first-stage magical beast onto the empty ground in front of them.
Bang!
The first-stage magical beast hit the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.
Su Yu took a couple of deep breaths, barely managing to straighten his tired back, and said to the group, "I carried this thing for over 10 kilometers. I'm exhausted! Now, the rest is up to you. No one gets to slack off!"
