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

Bai Lin led Yan Shou across the wasteland.

As chefs of the [Banquet] organization, they are dispatched by the head chef to search for "ingredients" in various secret realms for career advancement.

Besides the hunters from the five major factions being the ingredients designated by the head chef, there are also many rare mythical beasts that only exist in ancient times and are indispensable ingredients.

However, it seems my luck isn't very good.

After completing their professional advancement in the Professional Advancement Dungeon, they led their Feast Beast out hunting. For the first week, they did not see any hunters from the five major factions or any rare ancient mythical beasts.

It wasn't until the tenth day that they finally encountered a hunter from the [Deer Hunting Group], but he still managed to get away...

"What bad luck," Bai Lin couldn't help but mutter.

But the worst is yet to come.

Not long ago, he heard the head chef's summons, which meant that the ingredients were ready and all the chefs were to return with the ingredients and the banquet beasts.

Bai Lin didn't want to go back too soon; he needed to figure out why he had gained nothing.

Otherwise, he suspected that the head chef would cook him as an ingredient.

This new head chef is exceptionally skilled at both dealing with people and with snakes.

"Kururu..." The banquet beast seemed to have sensed something, its body trembling involuntarily as it looked around.

"Quiet down!" Bai Lin was trying to come up with a reason when he irritably swung the iron chain and lashed it directly at the face of the banquet beast.

He showed no pity whatsoever for his former colleagues.

Despite the bloody welt on its cheek, the beast showed no sign of pain. It suddenly looked up, staring straight at the sky, and trembled as it let out a mournful howl.

"Kururu!!!"

Bai Lin couldn't help but look up in the direction of the banquet beast's gaze.

There's nothing strange about it... Today the weather is sunny and bright, a perfect day for a feast.

"Huh? What's that black dot?" Bai Lin suddenly noticed a black dot moving rapidly in mid-air, then gradually enlarging...

It looked like a human, and black mist was emanating from its body...

Buhou!

They're coming for me!

"boom!"

A cloud of black mist fell like heavenly fire, destroying and burning everything around it with an irresistible and terrifying power.

The moment the black mist descended, the ground within a hundred meters radius cracked like a spider web, and the air seemed to collapse. From the cracks in the ground, faint blue flames rose. The constantly leaping flames were not real flames, but rather vengeful spirits and malevolent spirits grasping with their own hands, hoping to drag a living person down to bear the torment of purgatory in their place.

When Lü Xiu arrived at the scene, Lü Bu had planted his halberd in the ground and was resting with his eyes closed. The surrounding ground was shattered, resembling a hellish place.

"Where are the cook and the beast?" Lu Xiu looked around but did not find their corpses.

"They vanished into thin air," Lü Bu succinctly stated.

"Huh?" Lu Xiu's eyelids twitched. They're skipping the autopsy stage and going straight to the crematorium?

"I'd also like to try and control their corpses."

Lu Bu's supernatural talent allows him to recreate the bodies of those he has enslaved or killed, so Lu Xiu also wants to try replicating the "Cataclysm of the Undead"...

"A lowly ant is not worthy to be my servant," Lu Bu said arrogantly.

Okay, okay, the chef and the banquet beast are indeed not strong at all.

What might be of some interest to Lü Xiu right now is the leader of the [Banquet] organization who was sent to the professional advancement secret realm this time, namely the "head chef".

Before deciding to participate in this early career advancement, Master Lin Nanwen had told him that the Nantian Port would open the career advancement dungeon ahead of schedule because the [Banquet] organization was preparing to hold a "banquet" within the dungeon.

The banquet organized by [宴] is not an ordinary feast.

The banquet was organized with the principle of "using heaven and earth as the dining table and all things as delicacies".

Not all living beings are delicacies, but all things. They treat organic and inorganic matter equally, sparing neither soil nor rocks!

Because the [Banquet] organization devours not only the food itself, but also the "spirit" hidden in all things.

Fields devoured of "spirit" will forever remain barren, never to grow crops again. Rivers and lakes devoured of "spirit" will become stagnant pools, where fish can no longer survive, and animals that drink from them will be poisoned.

It can be said that the places where the [Banquet] organization holds banquets inevitably become eternal deserts. Whether within the territory of the Hunting Alliance or in the outer regions, deserts caused by banquets held by the [Banquet] organization are not uncommon.

Therefore, when the [Banquet] organization decided to hold a banquet in the professional secret realm, Nantian Port immediately became furious and spent a lot of money to invite people from the five major forces.

There are four types of characters who are guaranteed to attend the "banquet" held by the [Banquet] organization.

The head chef, cooks, waiters, and guests.

Among them, the head chef is the initiator of the banquet and also the strongest.

Lu Xiu was interested in him because, as the strongest person sent to the professional advancement secret realm by the [Banquet] organization, the key to that secret realm should be in his hands.

The reward for defeating the head chef and bringing back the key to the secret realm is: to randomly select a perfect-grade skill book from the treasure vault in South Sky Harbor.

A perfect-grade skill book can be exchanged for multiple perfect-grade materials.

Thinking about how my pet needs to evolve and the "Taiping Yaoshu" needs to be upgraded, I happen to be a little short on pet materials.

Then the only thing we can do is trouble this head chef to die.

Below the head chef are the ordinary chefs, who are the head chef's assistants and responsible for preparing ingredients. They are also the backbone of the banquet.

Attendants are low-level thugs responsible for finding ingredients; if there aren't enough, they might even serve as food themselves. Among them, feast beasts are a type of attendant—once intelligent beings, now devoured by the original sin of "gluttony," reduced to beasts that only know how to eat.

As for the guests.

Most of the guests were invited by the head chef.

But if you want to eat the food of the gourmet hunters, especially the food of the gourmet hunters of the [Banquet] organization...

"Are there any powerful warriors here?" Lu Bu gently twisted his neck.

Clearly, the chefs and beasts of the [Banquet] organization did not satisfy him.

No, it should be said that they couldn't even get Lü Bu to warm up.

"There should be quite a few outside, but here..." Lu Xiu could only think of the strong individuals in the professional secret realm, the hunters of the five major forces, and besides himself, Ye Qianxue might be somewhat worth looking at.

That rich woman was better than me in every subject during the hunter exam except for traps. And she's the young lady of the [Floating Cloud Merchant Guild].

When a top student is both beautiful and rich.

The only way to defeat her is probably by cheating.

If I had to choose another one, would it be Han An, the one known as the "Little Spirit King" of the "Sea Dragon Gang"?

Lu Xiu hadn't seen that Little Spirit King Han An make a move yet, so it was difficult for him to make a judgment.

If it were the opposing faction, the [Banquet] organization, the only possible candidate would be the head chef, whom they had never met before.

"We can go and look for it." Lu Xiu flipped over and mounted the Nine Netherworld Purgatory Tiger, its star-shaped beak rising into the air.

Lu Bu pulled out his halberd stuck in the ground, and his figure dissipated like smoke and returned to the space of cognition.
