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

Deep in the Breeze Forest, in a basin near Mount Vulture.

In the past, this place was a lush forest, teeming with vibrant life. But today, a decaying, desolate aura of death pervades the air.

Beneath the inky black clouds, the earth was covered with countless monstrous carcasses: raging bears, blue wolves, general toads, and even gray wolves from the Sea Breeze Plains. Their bodies were stiff, their fur congealed with dark red scabs, and their eyes were empty and filled with despair. Blood seeped from their wounds, gathering into streams that meandered among the withered leaves and soil, staining the entire land a glaring red.

On this land filled with the nauseating stench of blood, hundreds of creatures are engaged in a tireless and fearless battle of madness.

A white tiger with black stripes, its body engulfed in jet-black flames, and its size like a calf, leaped from the carcass of the phantom beast. It took the blow of the bear's thick paw head-on, then pounced on the bear with its even greater strength, biting down on the bear's throat and tearing it apart with a heavy thud, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The bear beneath him seemed to have its life force immediately robbed, struggling desperately but becoming increasingly powerless.

The bear died, and the tiger pounced on another phantom beast.

Another battle has begun.

The main theme of death is playing, and the battles between the phantom beasts are the notes.

"Using the method of Gu refining to select magical beasts, even if it means erasing the magical beasts' intelligence, this practice of treating magical beasts as tools... your brother is really perverted."

On a hillside not far away, Gu King Du Shixin sat hunched over on a large stone block, idly playing with a golden scorpion, completely oblivious to the bloody scene before him.

Fang Ming glanced at Du Shixin, thinking to himself, "Same here. Didn't this method of refining Gu come from you?"

"This is the third Gu Spring, and also the last one," Du Shixin suddenly put away the golden scorpion on her fingertip.

"That's enough. The phantom beasts my brother gave me are all offspring of his few top-tier individuals. This time, we'll definitely be able to refine a top-tier, mutated individual."

Fang Ming stared intently at the ferocious tiger, which was rampaging and biting wildly among the phantom beasts, and was very satisfied.

"What I mean is, if this deal falls through again, it's over."

"Destruction?" Fang Ming didn't immediately understand what Du Shixin meant.

next second.

"boom!"

A dark shadow landed not far from the two of them.

The earth collapsed, the energy rippled, and the surging air currents stirred up sand and dust. A burly figure emerged from it.

"Du Shixin, long time no see!" The newcomer was a middle-aged man wearing a white hooded trench coat with a gold coin pattern printed on the chest. His eyes gleamed with a fiery passion that could burn the world.

Du Shixin's expression changed slightly.

"Nie Fengyun, you really are a persistent ghost!"

"Even if I die and become a true ghost before I uproot the Nest, I will not dissipate." The middle-aged man named Nie Fengyun grinned, his smile full of murderous intent.

He walked towards Du Shixin step by step.

"Is he Nie Fengyun?" Fang Ming had heard of this name before; to be precise, it was "very famous"!

Within the entire Hunting Alliance, besides the Hunter Association, which spares no effort in dealing with the [Nest] organization, there is only Nie Fengyun, the leader of the [Golden Gathering], who is known as "Heaven's Wrath".

No fewer than five members of the [Nest] organization have died at the hands of Nie Fengyun.

Du Shixin didn't want to fight such a troublesome enemy without any preparation.

"No, my ferocious tiger has reached the critical moment of mutation. In just a few more minutes, it will be completely transformed!" Fang Ming glanced at the ferocious tiger that was still fighting wildly in the basin and disagreed with the order to retreat.

Upon hearing that Fang Ming dared to disobey his orders, a murderous glint flashed in Du Shixin's eyes, but remembering Fang Ming's brother's methods, he immediately suppressed it.

"Tell your brother that the reward this time should be doubled!" Du Shixin snorted coldly, but instead of retreating, he took the initiative to walk towards Nie Fengyun.

"Not running anymore?" Nie Fengyun asked in surprise.

"You? You dare to challenge me?!" Du Shixin moved his feet and sprang into action, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.

The real body had already appeared beside Nie Fengyun, delivering a side kick in mid-air.

Nie Fengyun raised his hand to block.

A crisp metallic clang rang out.

As Du Shixin kicked Nie Fengyun's leg, a dirty golden gaiter appeared. It didn't look like an ordinary metal gaiter; instead, it resembled the shell of some insect.

The attack was blocked. Du Shixin twisted his body in mid-air, and a scorpion tail suddenly shot out from behind him, like a deadly blade in the dark night. It flashed with cold light and carried a deadly killing intent as it shot out!

Dark purple liquid flowed from the scorpion's stinger; it was a terrifying poison that could corrode even steel plates!

However, Nie Fengyun seemed to have already anticipated Du Shixin's sneak attack. He easily dodged it by slightly turning his body to the side, and then suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, using his right arm to generate force.

"Lion's Roar Fist"

"roar!!!"

The fist emitted a dazzling golden light, and the wind from the punch howled like the roar of a lion!

"boom!"

The golden fist landed on Du Shixin's chest, and in an instant, the golden carapace of Du Shixin's insect form spread from the point where Nie Fengyun's fist landed to his entire body.

As Du Shixin was sent flying backward, he had already transformed into a golden humanoid scorpion monster.

"Boom boom boom..." It crashed into more than a dozen large trees, finally coming to a stop against the rock face of Mount Cangjiu.

"Five minutes! Only five minutes!" Du Shixin struggled to climb up from the shattered rock wall, his "mouthparts" rubbing together and making a dry, hoarse sound.

"Alright, I'll kill you within this time!" Nie Fengyun's smile grew even brighter. With a grab of his right hand, he put his white trench coat into his spatial backpack, revealing his solid, steel-like muscles. He stomped his right foot forward, and his body shot towards Du Shixin like a cannonball.

"Five minutes is enough!" Fang Ming answered loudly.

The battle between Du Shixin and Nie Fengyun was something he couldn't interfere with, so when the two were fighting, Fang Ming ran away, heading towards the basin at the foot of the hillside, to speed up the Gu Spring ritual.

They barely made it halfway.

A sharp, crescent-shaped blade of blood suddenly flew out from the forest on the side!

"Crimson!" Fang Ming shouted the two words almost subconsciously.

The Beast Space instantly opened beside Fang Ming, and a rabbit-like creature with bright red, ruby-like eyes leaped out, its arms crossed to block the blade's edge with the steel plates on its arms.

"Who?" Fang Ming shouted angrily, as someone dared to ambush him.

From the direction from which the blade's edge flew, a handsome young man emerged from the woods, dressed in a white hooded trench coat just like Nie Fengyun.

The young man gripped the knife in his right hand, the blade pulsating with the blood-red fury unique to weapon hunters, just like the burning fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Golden Gathering, Lin Yufei"
