Everyone's a Hunter? I'm a Hunter x Hunter!

The middle-aged man from the Hunter Association led the young man into the Breeze Forest.

We had now reached the depths of the Breeze Forest.

Walking through a wooded area, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped, bent down, and grabbed a handful of soil from under a large tree.

"Wild and seductive..." The middle-aged man carefully rubbed the soil between his fingers, concluding, "We've come to the right place. It is indeed the work of the 'Gu King' of the [Nest] organization."

"The Gu King? Is that the Gu King who unleashed his madness in Hundred Flowers City, causing more than 200,000 residents to kill each other?" the young man pressed.

"Um..."

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes on the right.

The young man immediately placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

The visitor was a specialist from the Hunter Association.

"Sir, we've spotted our target!"

"Where?"

"Near the eastern side of Azure Vulture Mountain, there is a basin there, and countless phantom beasts are rushing towards it, accompanied by strong fluctuations of dark and fire elements!"

"Go!" A glint flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and his body suddenly accelerated, flashing through the forest like a phantom.

The young people had no choice but to grit their teeth and strive to catch up.

...

The sun was blazing today, shining down on the earth as if trying to sweep away the gloom of the previous two days, but this did not affect Lü Xiu's speed.

Donning the Shadow Cloak, Lü Xiu moved through the forest, his figure disappearing into the shadows beneath the trees. If someone searched for him, they would see Lü Xiu flickering like a ghost in the forest.

When Lü Xiu passed through the territory of the magical beasts with powerful senses of smell, the flickering human scent made them begin to feel insecure.

(⊙_⊙)?

A breath isn't a lamp, so why does it flicker?

Setting off in the morning, Lü Xiu arrived at the entrance of the abandoned Dark Crystal Mine around noon.

The surrounding area was a wasteland, with signs of digging, broken mine carts, and broken shovels and picks on the even darker ground.

The Dark Crystal Mine was developed more than a decade ago.

The people of the town of Tianqing originally thought that the appearance of the dark crystal mine would bring them immense wealth, but no one expected that the reserves of this crystal mine were far less than they had imagined.

In less than three years, all the blocks of dark crystal ore were mined out, and the mine was abandoned as a result.

To this day, the remaining fragments of dark crystal ore have become food for creatures seeking the dark element, and thus the abandoned dark crystal mine has become the home of dark elemental beasts.

"Instant Slash!"

Cloaked in shadow, Lü Xiu held the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right. After charging for 0.5 seconds, he unleashed a slash imbued with the element of ice.

"Pfft!"

The blade pierced flesh, cleaving the Dark Claw Mole, which was gnawing on rocks nearby, in two right in the middle!

Blood splattered everywhere, and the cut was covered in frost.

Sheathing his sword, Lü Xiu's Shadow Cloak began to churn. The Shadow King did not dispel the Shadow Cloak state, but instead released a portion of the mist to envelop the Dark Claw Mole's pair of claws imbued with dark elemental power. In no time, the portion of mist returned to the Shadow Cloak, and the feeding was complete.

The dark-clawed mole's claws crumbled into ash.

Venturing deeper into the mine, Lü Xiu continued his exploration.

After slaying five more phantom beasts that inhabited the dark crystal mine caves, Lü Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

"This is completely my home turf!"

The Shadow Cloak can conceal one's figure, voice, and aura, and also provides dark vision.

To Lü Xiu, the pitch-black dark crystal mine cave was no different from a forest under the sun.

On the contrary, because in the darkness, the Shadow Cloak keeps Lü Xiu in an invisible state, and the phantom beasts living in the darkness, even though they have dark vision or powerful hearing, still cannot detect Lü Xiu's presence.

Therefore, the six phantom beasts that were killed in succession never knew who the attacker was until their deaths.

This was the first time Lü Xiu had ever hunted so easily. No, this wasn't hunting; it was harvesting!

If I find out, you're dead!

"Hmm?" Lu Xiu suddenly stopped at a fork in the road, feeling something drawing him in from the shadows.

"Oh wow! There's a treasure chest here?!" Lu Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his lips curling into a wild smile.

The Treasure Hunter's innate skill, "Treasure Chest Sense," is something he uses immediately whenever his skill is on cooldown!

However, because he had been moving around in crowded areas, he hadn't found a single treasure chest.

Now, in this remote place like the Dark Crystal Mine, another treasure chest has finally been discovered!

"I should go to those remote wilderness areas more often to carry out commissions in the future." Lu Xiu left a mark on the wall at the fork in the road as a reference for his return journey, and then walked towards the place where he sensed the treasure chest.

Lu Xiu's current level has reached level 10, so the range of his treasure chest detection has increased to one kilometer!

Traveling through a mine, a kilometer is definitely not a short distance.

In particular, you might encounter situations where you walk into a dead end and have to find another way out.

Lü Xiu wasn't afraid of taking detours; as long as he marked the way, he wouldn't get lost.

I'm afraid the treasure chest spawned in the rock strata.

Without earth elemental spells, you can only watch helplessly.

However, Lü Xiu was lucky; the treasure chest was not a kilometer away from him, and this time the treasure chest he found was not in the rock strata.

After walking through a passage, he arrived at a space of about a hundred square meters, which turned out to be a dead end. But the treasure chest that Lü Xiu was looking for was in the corner of the space, next to a cluster of palm-sized black crystals, where a bronze treasure chest was quietly waiting.

"A bronze treasure chest?! Dark crystal ore?!"

Buy one get one free!

"I'm so lucky!" Lu Xiu couldn't help but rub the "Adeya's Destiny Coin (Silver)" that Ye Qianxue had given him on his fingertip.

I wonder if it brought me good luck.

However, Lü Xiu was not thrown off balance by this sudden stroke of good fortune, nor did he immediately go up to open the treasure chest. Instead, he turned around and left, went to a passage he had never been to before, grabbed a Dark Claw Mole, and threw it from a distance toward the Dark Crystal Mine.

"Chirp chirp!" The Dark Claw Mole, thrown out, cried out in panic, ignoring the dark crystal ore it had always dreamed of, and scurried wildly across the ground.

Just as it leaped out a few meters, a long rock suddenly flew out from the corner, opened its blood-red maw in mid-air, and bit the Dark Claw Mole.

"Crunch, crunch..."

The long rock landed, revealing its slender limbs as it walked back, the crisp chewing sound of it crushing the Dark Claw Mole's bones echoing through the air.

Finally, its name and rank appeared above its head.
