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

"A perfect weapon for level 80"

Lü Xiu was not surprised.

To be able to pin an 86-level Dragon Whisker Thunder Eel here, the opponent must be at least an 80-level powerhouse who has completed their second job advancement.

However, I'm sorry! Since you're not here, I'll take your weapon with me.

Wherever the greedy treasure hunters go, they tear up the ground!

Lu Xiu grasped the Demon King Blood Thorn and threw it into his spatial backpack as well.

Right behind the altar, near the wall, a gleaming platinum treasure chest has been quietly waiting there since Lü Xiu arrived in this space.

I almost forgot about the important matter.

Lu Xiu hurriedly went down to open the platinum treasure chest.

There are also two items in the Platinum Chest this time.

A piece of jade with a soft, faint green glow, and a skill book.

The remnants of the divine life

Quality: Epic

Effect: When used on a pet, it will initiate a mutation that leads to the "Life" attribute.

Restrictions: Mythical Beasts, Unmutated

Description: A jade stone formed by a holy being when on the verge of death, condensing all their power. It possesses the ability to cleanse evil from magical beasts and heal the wounded.

Rock Dragon Cart (Knowledge Skill)

Quality: Perfect

Learning requirements: Knowledge Hunter, Earth Element Mastery (Advanced)

Description: Using the power of earth elemental control, it manipulates rocks to condense into a dragon head, roaring and charging forward!

A perfect-level Knowledge Hunter skill book. And an epic-level item that allows pets to undergo "targeted mutation"!

The perfect level of Knowledge Hunter skills goes without saying.

If Lü Xiu wanted, he could exchange the "Rock Dragon Cart" for other hunters' skills of the same quality.

What is truly precious is the "legacy of the divine life-givers".

Not just because it's an epic item.

The key point is "directed mutation".

Back then, Du Shixin used the "Gu Spring Ritual" to make all the phantom beasts in the entire Breeze Forest and Sea Breeze Plain serve as nourishment, which turned an extreme individual ferocious tiger into the "Evil Ghost Path: Purgatory Killing Tiger".

But this process is extremely dangerous!

First, the ultimate individual level of the Ferocious Tiger has a high probability of dying in the Gu Spring Ritual. This is because even the ultimate individual level of the Ferocious Tiger is not invincible; its opponents are all the phantom beasts in the two hunting zones.

Secondly, even if the evil tiger survives to the end and the Gu Spring ritual succeeds, the evil tiger will undergo a mutation.

The process and outcome of mutation are completely uncontrollable.

What if the mutated tiger becomes weaker than before?

The probability is quite high!

Furthermore, the mutations performed during the Gu Spring ritual have a very strong side effect: "loss of sanity."

It's clear how difficult it is to induce a positive mutation in a mythical beast. It also requires an immense amount of luck to succeed.

And the "Relic of the Divine Life Being" in Lü Xiu's hand.

It guarantees a positive and successful mutation!

The direction of evolution is still "life".

Life corresponds to death; this is a high-level attribute that transcends the attributes of water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder!

"A targeted mutation of life attributes..." Lu Xiu felt that he could use it to cultivate a support and healing type of phantom beast.

"Ta-da..."

Suddenly, a series of chaotic and heavy footsteps came from outside.

Has the powerful figure who pinned the dragon-whiskered thunder eel here arrived?

Lu Xiu immediately slipped behind a pillar, using the shadow cast by the torchlight to conceal himself, his right hand gripping the Earth-Device Token, ready to use Earth Escape at any moment.

Soon, two burly figures appeared at the doorway. They were covered in blue fish scales, held harpoons, and had ferocious faces.

Lu Xiu was all too familiar with these two figures.

It was one of the demon fish that he would randomly kill two of every night when he went out to catch midnight snacks!

However, the two demonic fish warriors in front of him seemed to be somewhat different from the demonic fish warriors he had killed before.

The demon fish warriors slain in Demon Fish Lake were all burly, fat men, but the two demon fish warriors before me were like robust, strong men, their blue scales gleaming with a hint of gold in the firelight.

The level has also reached 47.

It is very likely the Demon Fish Warrior that has completed its first evolution!

This led Lü Xiu to speculate, "Could it be that the Demon Fish clan pinned the Dragon-Bearded Thunder Eel here?"

"Gurgle!" The two demonic fish warriors stared dumbfounded at the empty altar.

Where did that dragon-whiskered thunder eel go?

"Slap!" A demon fish warrior slapped its companion.

His companion looked at him in surprise. "Gurgle? (Why did you hit me?)"

"Gurgle (I want to see if I'm dreaming)"

"Gulu (Then hit yourself!)" His partner slapped him back.

Now both of the Demon Fish Warriors were certain they weren't dreaming; the Dragon Whiskered Thunder Eel was indeed gone!

"Gurgle (Go report to the King immediately!!!)"

The two demonic fish warriors fled in panic.

Lu Xiu then emerged from the shadows behind the pillar, rubbing his chin in thought.

"Another king-level individual has emerged from the Demon Fish clan?"

From the "Giant Mushroom Rainforest Mythical Beast Compendium" given to him by his master Lin Nanwen, Lü Xiu had seen records of the king-level individuals of the Demon Fish clan.

Every few decades, a king-like individual called the "Demon King Fish" is born from the Demon Fish clan in Demon Fish Lake.

Once it reaches adulthood, it will possess intelligence no less than that of humans!

At the same time, the demonic power in the bloodline will be activated, allowing for easy completion of the first and second evolutions.

At that time, it will possess combat power comparable to that of a human titled hunter.

According to the records in "Giant Mushroom Rainforest Mythical Beast Compendium", every time a Demon King Fish appears in the Giant Mushroom Rainforest, it brings a surge in the strength of the Demon Fish clan.

The ecology of the Giant Mushroom Rainforest has been altered, and a large number of wild mythical beasts have been killed.

In order to maintain ecological balance, or more precisely, to protect human interests, the giant mushroom rainforest will remain a hunting ground for humans.

Every time a Demon King Fish appears, it is killed by a titled hunter sent by the Hunting Alliance.

If there really is a Demon King Fish...

Although Lü Xiu was certainly no match for it, he could still tell his master this news!

"Follow them and see," Lu Xiu said, gripping the token on the ground with his right hand.

After having Shadow King use the mist to peek around and confirm that no Demon Fish Clan members had arrived, Lü Xiu quietly slipped out.

The exterior of the place where the dragon-whiskered thunder eel was imprisoned was a huge corridor.

However, it wasn't a human corridor, but rather a cave dug out by the beasts with their bare hands. Although there were occasional lights, the shadows were mostly cast by the irregular terrain.

Lu Xiu walked in the shadows and soon passed through the corridor, arriving at a spacious hall.

A group of magic fish were playing in the hall.

Without exception, they were all level 40 or higher. Among them were burly, strong-looking demon fish warriors, as well as demon fish tide bearers with horns on their backs, wands in their hands, and full beards.

They are all members of the Demon Fish race that have undergone one evolution!

"Gurgle..."

Suddenly, the urgent cries of the demonic fish came from a cave on the other side of the hall, attracting the attention of all the demonic fish.

Before the eyes of the other demonic fish, a demonic fish far more imposing than them emerged from the cave.

Standing three meters tall, with thick arms, blue skin covered in purple fish scales, and a pair of black demonic horns growing from its head, with its name and rank displayed on its head.
