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

"slip!"

Having confirmed the presence of the Demon King Fish, Lü Xiu immediately activated the Earth Exchange Token, giving the opponent no chance to detect his presence, and retreated directly!

Three seconds later, Lü Xiu appeared on the ground of the Giant Mushroom Rainforest, with some blue moss on his head.

Wiping the moss off his head, Lü Xiu headed to the camp as fast as he could.

When Lü Xiu returned, Lin Nanwen had already arranged for his career advancement and the customization of the level 40 treasure set, and was preparing to continue fishing by the lake.

"Master, I've found the Demon King Fish!" Lu Xiu went straight to the point.

"The Demon Fish King? Where is it?" Upon hearing this, Lin Nanwen immediately put down his fishing rod.

"Follow me!"

Lu Xiu hurriedly took his master to the place where he had broken through the ground.

"I just used Earth Escape and accidentally fell into a space. There I saw a group of Demon Fish Warriors and a Demon King Fish, over level 80, being guarded by them in the middle!" Lu Xiu said, pointing to the ground.

Lin Nanwen nodded slightly and raised his hand to open his pet space.

"Stone, use Rock Wave!"

A large number of square, yellowish-brown rocks immediately fell out of the Beast Space.

The rocks were quickly pieced together on the ground. Eight rocks became the feet, eight rocks became the arms, and then the feet and hands grew out. Four rocks became the body, and one rock became the head, with a purple eye pattern on it.

At first glance, Lü Xiu thought it was Tetris.

However, he did recognize this mythical beast; it was called the "Sacrificial Rock Giant." It was an earth elemental creature with support abilities and extremely strong defensive capabilities!

Rock Giant LV88

As soon as the Rock Giant appeared, it immediately slammed its two arms into the ground.

Gently.

An invisible ripple spread rapidly outward from where it struck the ground, like a raindrop falling into a lake and creating ripples, disappearing in an instant.

This is the Rock Giant sensing the underground situation through vibrations.

Lin Nanwen then took out another image-recording ball and handed it to the Sacrificial Rock Giant.

This is a tool that can record images.

The commemorative sphere "merged" into the ground along with the hand of the sacrificial rock giant.

A moment later, the commemorative ball was spat out by the earth and landed in Lin Nanwen's hand.

Playing the recording ball, you can clearly see a group of powerful fish and a demon king fish angrily reprimanding them.

"The Demon King Fish has completed its second evolution," Lin Nanwen nodded slightly. "No wonder it was able to establish a secret base without anyone noticing."

"It seems the demon fish clan outside was just bait."

"Master, should we just tear down the ground, or find their entrance to enter?" Lu Xiu asked eagerly.

The Demon Fish will definitely be dealt with by the master.

His goal was to kill the ordinary demon fish and see how many high-quality equipment he could acquire.

As for the entrance to the Demon Fish Clan's secret base, Lü Xiu guessed it should be on the west side of Demon Fish Lake, where the Demon Fish Clan is most densely populated, and there should be a hidden passage there.

"No rush," Lin Nanwen gestured to Lü Xiu to calm down. "Let's go back to the Rainforest Pass first."

"What are we going to the rainforest pass for?" Lu Xiu asked, puzzled. He thought a fight was about to break out.

You'll find out soon enough.

So, Lin Nanwen led Lü Xiu to the Rainforest Pass in a hurry.

"I have important information about the Giant Mushroom Rainforest and I need to see your gatekeeper," Lin Nanwen said to the guard in charge of checking passes as he entered the pass.

"Please follow me." The guard recognized Lin Nanwen, so he didn't delay and took the two of them directly to see the gatekeeper of the Giant Mushroom Rainforest.

Within the sphere of influence of the Hunting Alliance, all star-rated hunting zones will have fortifications.

The purpose of a pass is twofold: first, to restrict hunters from entering, preventing weaker hunters from needlessly perishing; second, to serve as a defensive stronghold. In the event of a beast tide in a star-rated hunting zone like this, it would be an absolute disaster for the surrounding villages and cities.

Therefore, every pass must have a "guardian".

Normally, they issue missions to adjust and maintain the ecology of the hunting grounds, much like the Hunter Association. But if a beast tide really breaks out, the gatekeepers become the first line of defense.

The gatekeeper of the Giant Mushroom Rainforest Pass is a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt, who is leisurely watching the rain and drinking tea on the second-floor balcony.

"Still drinking? You're in big trouble, kid!"

Lin Nanwen and the gatekeeper were clearly old acquaintances. The first thing he said to them was a threat, and he threw the recording bead to the other party.

"You can go now," the middle-aged man dismissed the guards before opening the recording bead to check.

"A Demon King Fish that has completed its second evolution?"

"Hidden this well?" The middle-aged man's expression showed a hint of surprise, but that was all. He didn't take the other party seriously. "Imminent disaster? It's not like I haven't killed before."

"Issue the task, hurry up," Lin Nanwen said.

"So that's why you're being so nice, you're just here to fleece us!" The middle-aged man chuckled, tossing the recording bead to a staff member on the first floor and ordering, "Issue a mission to hunt the Demon King Fish."

"Yes, sir!" The staff on the first floor immediately took action.

"The reward requires a pet skill," Lin Nanwen reminded him.

The middle-aged man could only add one more instruction: "The reward is a perfect-level pet skill book."

"Thanks, I'll treat you to drinks another day," Lin Nanwen waved his hand and headed for the stairs.

"I'm sick of hearing you say that. When are you really going to buy me a drink?" The middle-aged man expressed his doubts about Lin Nanwen's credibility.

"When you're no longer the gatekeeper"

Lin Nanwen and Lü Xiu arrived on the first floor and quickly completed the registration for accepting the mission.

The target is the Demon King Fish, and the demand is to bring back its head.

The reward is a perfect-grade pet skill book called "Swift Hunting Group".

When he came out of the rainforest pass, Lü Xiu said that he had really learned a lot.

"You can do that?"

"Not everyone can do that," Lin Nanwen explained. "The Demon King Fish is special; it's considered the biggest threat in the Giant Mushroom Rainforest."

"Every time the Demon King Fish appears, it brings disaster to the Giant Mushroom Forest, so every time the Giant Mushroom Rainforest Pass is open, a related hunting mission is issued."

"However, the normal procedure should be that someone first discovers the Demon King Fish's whereabouts and reports back, then the Hunting Alliance sends someone to confirm, and only after confirmation will the mission be issued."

"I took the recording bead myself and sent it over. I'm already being generous by not asking them for investigation fees," Lin Nanwen said, feeling that he had actually been taken advantage of.

Lu Xiu nodded in understanding; that made sense now.

However, his master's actions also reminded Lü Xiu.

"Master, let's go later." Lu Xiu suddenly stopped his return journey and took out the Spirit Flow Mirror to check.

"What's wrong?"

"I'll claim the reward for hunting the Dragon Whisker Thunder Eel first!" Lu Xiu quickly found the "Hunting Dragon Whisker Thunder Eel" quest that the Hunting Alliance had not yet canceled in the Mirror of Spirit Flow.
