Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

Chapter 105 The Hunting Game: The Winner Takes All

Seeing the strange expressions on the four people's faces, Cheng Zhuo couldn't help but ask:

"Will it be difficult?"

It's more than just difficult.

That's absolutely impossible!

All four of them were screaming in their hearts, but none of them dared to say it out loud.

Catherine hesitated for two seconds, then lightly tapped her fingertip on her watch, bringing up a holographic image:

"Have you seen this news?"

"What is it?" Cheng Zhuo asked curiously as he leaned closer.

The picture shows a group of Hunter's Army soldiers dressed in black combat uniforms, but each of them looks strange.

Cheng Zhuo asked doubtfully:

"They look like they're all beastmen? This team is strong?"

It is rare to see an entire army of beastmen.

The beastmen's original skills are all physical enhancement types, and most of them are tank-type warriors, with the occasional speed-type assassin.

However, hunting teams emphasize a combination of ranged and melee attacks, and this team is too one-sided.

"They are not ordinary beastmen." Catherine's voice deepened. "They are orcs."

"A half-orc?!"

Cheng Zhuo's eyes widened instantly.

He subconsciously looked at his master to the side. Could it be the orc they had been talking about earlier?

Old Gao, who was half-closing his eyes and seemed to be lost in thought, suddenly looked up, a sharp glint flashing in his dark eyes as he focused on the hologram.

"Young Master Cheng, this is the first time you've heard of this, isn't it?"

The middle-aged man with a thick beard stroked his beard, his tone tinged with suspicion:

"I heard that there was some trouble caused by orcs in Tianji City. I didn't expect that Lord Luo, whom I haven't seen for a long time, has also cultivated them. He said that these are all at the peak of the third tier, but they can all exert the strength of the peak of the fourth tier. They are legendary series cores."

"The Lighthouse's rewards are usually given to the strongest team," Catherine said with a hint of helplessness.

"If we want to compete, we'll face not only this group of orcs, but also the guild's and the Hunter's Army's Tier 3 teams, and even the three teams from Bright City. They're all very troublesome."

After a pause, Catherine suddenly realized and explained:

"By the way, this uncle's name is Wei Erdao, we all call him Uncle Dao. He's our team's melee attacker."

He then introduced the two people behind him.

The one holding the alloy staff is called the Tower, and as his name suggests, he is indeed very tall.

But this burly man was actually a wind mage with A-level potential, which surprised Cheng Zhuo.

The fat man with the detector was called Miao Sanpao.

Its origin is A-level Eagle Eye.

He carries a bunch of source energy-based firearms and crossbow-type melee weapons, but his specialty is sniper-type heavy artillery.

Two knives and three cannons, they actually go quite well together.

"Greetings, all three of you." Cheng Zhuo nodded slightly to Wei Erdao and then asked:

"According to you, Uncle Dao, a BOSS-level advancement source core can't yield a legendary-level one?"

Wei Erdao smiled, and said with a hint of melancholy:

"To get a legendary-grade source core from a BOSS, you'd probably have to use up all your luck in this lifetime..."

Just as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and added:

"Tsk, but you might be an exception."

"That's right." Catherine smiled slightly. "Handsome Cheng is the chosen one who used a wild boar blind core to unlock a legendary meditation method."

"Great! Let's try to open another legendary-level one!"

"Looks like our team's going to become famous this time!"

Gao Ta and Miao Sanpao also laughed and agreed.

However, it's not hard to tell from their joking praise that they don't really believe Cheng Zhuo could have such luck.

Cheng Zhuo didn't expose it.

After communicating and coordinating their teamwork for a while, the group released their primal power to complete the 'team formation' and then waited for the nest to open.

While we're still waiting...

Cheng Zhuo casually clicked on the watch news—

The top headlines were blindingly red, filled with news about the orc team and Lord Luo:

A band of orcs has appeared: anti-humanity or new hope?

Lord Luo: The Orc Hunting Team Will Surely Win the Championship

The Seven Star Ruins are approaching; change or perish.

The discussion about this matter below is also very lively.

"Judging from what Lord Luo said, it seems that he can turn all those who cannot awaken or have low potential into these half-beasts."

Catherine leaned closer to him, her delicate brows slightly furrowed as she spoke:

"Originally, most people in the comments section were against this kind of beastification experiment, but he just posted a message saying that the great beast tide that occurs once every twenty years next year will be launched from the Seven Star Ruins Realm. If no change is sought, Star Iron City may be destroyed by the beast tide. Public opinion has instantly reversed."

"These are not things we should care about. We Redstone Town are not part of the city-state." Tower continued to gnaw on his meat pie, waving his hand dismissively.

"You don't know anything!"

Miao Sanpao rolled his eyes at him:

"Haven't you heard of the saying 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'? If Star Iron City is overrun by the beast tide, and we don't provide support, how can the town hold out? You forgot, even our wolf pack has more than half of the people in the city."

"Let's not worry about that now." Wei Erdao's voice deepened.

"It's about to start, Fatty, get ready to locate."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone clearly felt a strange breeze in the air.

The wind carried the low growls of strange beasts that seemed to come from the depths of the ruins.

Huangfu Bai's voice suddenly rang out:

"It's 3.2 kilometers to the southwest."

"Set off!"

Catherine leaped with her long legs, landing gracefully on the heavy motorcycle. She turned back to Cheng Zhuo and gave him a few words of advice:

"Cheng Zhuo, there are spatial turbulences above this ruin, so you can't fly too high."

Cheng Zhuo nodded slightly.

Together with Huangfu Bai, they returned to their respective mecha cockpits.

The metal hatch slowly closed, and Cheng Zhuo activated the low-altitude flight mode, pulling the power to maximum.

Several scarlet glows suddenly lit up along the edge of the mecha, like a sleeping beast opening its sleepy eyes.

The other three got into a rugged off-road vehicle.

As the engine roared to life.

The four wheels retracted with a "click," switching to hover mode, and pale blue flames shot out from under the vehicle.

The entire temporary base was instantly filled with a deafening roar as various hovercrafts transformed into a tidal wave of steel, surging toward the entrance to the lair.

……

In less than two minutes, the group gathered at the edge of a huge, semi-protruding "black hole".

Unlike conventionally erected boundary gates.

This kind of boundary gate does indeed resemble the entrance to an ant nest.

By this time, many teams had already rushed in, and Catherine's voice came through the earpiece:

"Let's go in too!"

The group agreed and rushed towards the boundary gate.

……

There was no light; it was pitch black all around.

Upon entering the nest, Cheng Zhuo immediately turned on the mecha's light source, and only then could he gradually see some blurry outlines.

The surroundings were very open.

This place doesn't resemble the nest of some kind of creature; it's more like the ruins of some ancient building.
