Chapter 365 Fishman Companions
"Are you a hunter?" Lu Youyou asked.
"Hmph, if I'm not, then who are you? Return what you stole, or die!"
What's the point of returning it? Those two eyeballs disappeared as soon as the task was completed, so she wouldn't have had the chance to return them even if she wanted to.
But how exactly did the hunter find her? Was it by the overwhelming stench or the vanished talisman?
Each of them had their own thoughts and was watching the other's every move.
The hunter was the first to lose patience and threw his harpoon.
He was very accurate, but Lu Youyou moved swiftly with a flash.
Not only did they escape quickly, but the afterimages appearing along their path also misled their vision.
The hunter was enraged, and golden halos rippled across his silver armor.
The aperture gradually widened, and the hunter stomped his foot suddenly.
Lu Youyou thought there would be a crack extending to her feet, but instead, the single harpoon hunter became a double harpoon hunter.
They were holding the same harpoon in both hands, like they were copying and pasting.
Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief; she had overestimated the hunter's abilities.
Whizzing!
Two harpoons were fired at the same time, and Lu Youyou immediately used Shadow Step to dodge.
She tried to escape, but no matter how fast she went, the hunter's harpoon always appeared behind her.
The hunter was in excellent physical condition and showed no signs of fatigue.
Lu Youyou was about to reach her limit; anyone would feel uncomfortable if they kept using Flash Step.
Since we can't escape, let's fight!
As the hunter fired the harpoon again, Lu Youyou used Shadow Step to get behind the hunter and fired a hidden arrow.
"Uh…"
The moment the hidden dart struck his back, the hunter's silver armor shattered into pieces, along with the person inside.
Lu Youyou stared wide-eyed as the hunter vanished into the world, leaving not a single drop of blood behind.
No, is this a staged accident?
hum~
[Congratulations on unlocking the achievement: The Hunter's Wrath. The number of hunters hunting you now increases to 2.]
Lu Youyou: ……
So, if someone kills a hunter, the number of hunters chasing the fisherman increases by one, right?
She didn't intend to kill the hunter; she just wanted to seriously injure him and escape his pursuit. Who knew the hunter was so vulnerable?
Wearing armor is like being made of paper; a single hidden arrow can tear a person to pieces.
"Young lady, you're quite capable."
The uncle turned around and gave Lu Youyou a thumbs up.
Lu Youyou smiled back at him, then turned and left; she couldn't stay there any longer.
The murloc leader's eyes were once buried here, and now she has submitted them for a quest, having also killed a hunter.
The Hunter's headquarters will definitely send more people to investigate.
Although the first hunter she killed was weak, it doesn't mean all hunters are weak, and there's no need to stay here and cause trouble for yourself.
hum~
As I walked, my watch vibrated.
Lu Youyou raised her wrist to look at the contents.
[Quest: Help your murloc companions obtain the murloc chieftain's scepter.]
The mission indicates that the target is not far away, only 700 meters ahead.
Lu Youyou quickly ran over and saw a man and a woman arguing.
They were fighting over a stick covered in mud, their mouths never stopping.
"Are you even a man? I dug this out first, how dare you try to take it from me?"
"You're talking nonsense! You clearly came here to dig for earthworms, and when you saw I dug up the scepter, you thought it was a treasure and tried to steal it!"
"Are you even speaking human language? Me, a grown woman, risking all my dignity to fight a grown man over a stick dug out of the ground? This is clearly my stick!"
"Give me!"
"mine!"
"..."
Neither of them would let go, and they kicked each other while gripping the scepter.
Lu Youyou looked at her watch. The mission only said to rescue her merman companion, but it didn't say whether the merman companion was male or female!
She randomly approached a woman watching the commotion and asked, "Sister, did you see clearly who dug up the stick?"
The older woman pursed her lips: "Who knows? We were fishing peacefully, and we didn't even know when they dug up the sticks."
The middle-aged man on the other side answered without being asked: "These two are acting so mysteriously, they're definitely not good people. I wonder what good stuff is inside that stick that's worth fighting over."
Lu Youyou asked a few more people, and they all said they didn't see who dug out the stick first. By the time they noticed the two people, they had already started arguing.
"Ah! I'll kill you!"
"Kill me! Let go!"
The situation between the arguing man and woman over there had become more urgent, escalating to the point of murder.
Lu Youyou wasn't lamenting the loss of life; she was afraid she wouldn't be able to complete her mission.
She stepped forward amidst the disapproving gazes of everyone.
"Hey, what are you two fighting over? What's so great about a broken mud stick?"
"You're a grown man, can't you give way to a little girl? Why do you insist on having this stick?"
"And you, a girl in pretty clothes, how come you like this mud stick?"
Lu Youyou didn't want to define people's personalities and behaviors by gender, but now she couldn't think too much about it and directly used the most common way of speaking to mediate the fight.
Her persuasion was effective; the two, who had previously been hostile to each other, now stood together against a common enemy.
"Who do you think you are? So what if I'm a woman? Isn't your mother a woman? Can't women play in the mud?"
"Why should I, a man, have to give the scepter to a woman? You motherfucker."
"..."
Lu Youyou was bombarded with angry words from the two, but instead of getting angry, she laughed.
She looked at the girl: "You mean this is mud?"
The girl nodded: "If you dare say again that girls can't play in the mud, you can expect me to beat you to death!"
Lu Youyou looked at the man again: "You're saying this is a scepter?"
The man avoided eye contact with Lu Youyou, and his tone was somewhat hesitant.
"No, I misspoke. I thought it was a scepter, not that it is a scepter."
Lu Youyou looked the two women up and down. They were both wearing long sleeves, so you couldn't see the red carp logo on either of their wrists.
However, based on the two people's names for the scepter, Lu Youyou felt that the man was more of a fishman companion.
She leaned closer to the man and whispered, "Judging from your big, burly appearance, you must have tattoos, right?"
The man stretched out his foot, intending to kick Lu Youyou away, but Lu Youyou dodged it.
He was furious: "My family has strict rules, I would never do such low-class things!"
As he spoke, he kept glancing sideways at the girl, as if he was deliberately saying it to her.
The girl wanted to get angry, but then she thought of the "tattoo" that Lu Youyou mentioned and the man's attitude towards Lu Youyou.
They must not know each other well, otherwise why would the woman not know that the man has tattoos, and why would the man treat the woman so badly?
Since you don't know them... why not just sit and watch the show like everyone else?
There must be a mission, but it's unclear which faction it belongs to.
"Red carp, green carp, and donkey?"
She called out tentatively, emphasizing the first three sounds.
Lu Youyou was somewhat surprised. If this girl was a fellow fishman, how did the man know that the mud contained a scepter?
She stepped forward, gently rolled up the girl's sleeve, and saw a large red-tailed carp clinging to its veins.
