Game: I'm a Hunter in the Blood Curse World

Chapter 49 The Old Hunter's Elegy

"...Back then, although Deer City was very commercialized, it was indeed very prosperous. Karl and I were only 17 years old at the time, just apprentice hunters, and we had no idea that we would learn how heavy life was here."

"Mentor Leslie is a typical William family hunter, with a very gentlemanly demeanor and a penchant for wearing a monocle."

"But I never imagined that such a disciplined hunter would become so insane when faced with a city full of wild beasts..."

Tangji's story is actually quite simple; as an apprentice hunter, his experiences were simply too terrifying.

It's like a student who has just learned quadratic equations being asked by the teacher to solve calculus problems.

When the Blood Mist erupted, the city of Luting was affected by the inferior quality of the Silver Blood Lamps, causing the Blood Mist to spread rapidly. Nearly 5 people in the city were about to become nourishment for the Blood Mist.

Therefore, the hunters who encountered this incident in Luting immediately gathered together, forming five hunting groups of 13 people each, in an attempt to control the blood mist.

In addition, there were priests and scholars from the Healing Church in Lutin, numbering less than 50.

With Rolinsa's help, Van En also figured out what these two professions did in the healing church.

The priests are the governing body of the healing church, responsible for all matters concerning the church.

Scholars, on the other hand, are specialized researchers responsible for developing various weapons and providing technical support to hunters, priests, and other members of the healing church.

In short, both professions have a certain level of combat ability, but they are still too weak when facing wild beasts and can only rely on hunters.

Tang Ji, and Vann's cheap master—Karl—were naturally also incorporated into their mentor Leslie's hunting party.

But facing tens of thousands of wild beasts and citizens fleeing in panic, their hundred-odd people were a drop in the ocean.

Their mentor, Leslie, collaborated with the Healing Church and the survivors of the Deer Court City Hall to prevent the tens of thousands of beasts from breaking free and spreading the blood mist further.

They blocked all the gates to the city of Luting, preventing any person or beast from leaving the city.

A massive breeding operation for Gu poison began, and Tang Ji described what followed as nothing more than endless hunting and madness.

Although these hunters were formidable, they were utterly powerless against tens of thousands of wild beasts.

Ultimately, the elderly hunters and those suffering from the final stages of the beast disease remained in Deer Court.

Tanguy and Carl, who had milder symptoms, escaped through the secret passage along with five or six priests, nuns, or city officials.

In the end, Tanguy and Karl, disheartened, left the group and went into seclusion in the remote village of Sweet Well.

"...Finally, I saw Leslie smile at Karl and me, telling us we must survive... He blew up the secret passage out of the city, and then we never heard from him again."

After saying this, Tang Ji began to breathe heavily, and the blue light in his blood vessels became increasingly dim.

After hearing his story, Vann remained silent. He had always thought that as a Blood Hunter, his fighting style was already crazy enough.

However, after hearing Tang Ji talk about which limbs and how many limbs to cut off from wild animals, their mobility and threat level will decrease, making them easier for weaker hunters to kill, thus improving overall hunting efficiency.

The inexperienced Van was deeply shocked by this assembly-line style of slaughter.

When Tang Ji recounted this part, he jokingly said to Vane, "There's not much difference between a hunter and a pig butcher, don't find it too strange."

Even more silent than Van En was Rolinsa.

This apprentice judge priest, who came to Put Town for a routine inspection in order to complete his inauguration ceremony, never expected to encounter the blood mist eruption here.

Starting from Maple Leaf Castle, the source of the blood mist outbreak, this girl's experiences were even more bizarre and bloody than Van En's.

Moreover, Old Tang Ji revealed the secrets of Rokuten City back then, which deeply shocked this innocent girl who had only seen the "official version".

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Van En looked at Tang Ji with tender eyes and asked.

"Cough... I didn't expect it... to be so fast! Life is so short..."

The light in Tang Ji's eyes began to fade, and the protruding veins on his body began to recede.

The blue light that had been flowing in his veins began to fade.

His lower body, which was most severely corroded by the blue blood, began to turn gray and crack. The withered flesh fell off Tang Ji piece by piece, like fallen leaves that had been burned by fire.

But at that moment, the old hunter, with strength he seemed to possess from nowhere, grabbed Van's hand, forcefully pulled him in front of him, and said, word by word:

"Take...them...to a safe...place..."

The light in Tang Ji's eyes completely disappeared, and Van En felt that the old hunter's body had lost its last bit of strength.

He watched as Tang Ji leaned against the wall behind him with his eyes closed, yet he still held Tang Ji's cold hand tightly.

Loretta snapped out of her daze, looked at Tanguy's still-dried and decaying corpse, and sighed, saying:

"It's time for him to go. This is a dignified end for him. Every hunter longs to die on the hunt."

Van En's body trembled slightly. He lowered Tang Ji's cracked hand and forced a smile:

"If that's the case, then isn't Doug Hearst a coward?"

These words were somewhat blasphemous, which made Luo Linsha 'be filled with awe' and say:

"You... say that... never mind, you can't always use common sense to figure out Hearst's affairs."

Fan picked up Katya and found that the girl was sleeping soundly, even starting to snore slightly. He suddenly felt a little envious of her, as she didn't have to bear the burden of Tanguy's last wish.

He looked at the entrance to the underground tomb that Tanguy had guarded with his life and said:

"Sacrifice may be unavoidable, but it must always have value."

Lorinsa turned her head, puzzled. "What? What grand pronouncements are you spouting now?"

Fan En smiled calmly: "My appearance is to end this clichéd plot and allow people to live in the sunlight."

"Sunlight? As a follower of the moon goddess, you should say moonlight!"

Lorinsa corrected Van's choice of words, but her expression showed no concern for Van's "slip of the tongue," and she even smiled.

Vann held Katya and had Rolinza turn on the switch to open the underground tomb.

The women and children inside cheered when they saw the three of them appear, probably because Tang Ji had told them something before he went out to fight to the death.

But after the women and children had looked around for a long time without seeing Tang Ji, they immediately realized what had happened, and their expressions began to turn ugly.

It wasn't until someone disregarded all attempts to stop them, ran outside, saw the tragic scene, and then ran back with tears streaming down their face to announce Tanguy's death.

Near the coffin of the Master Mary, her descendants began to weep, and the old hunter Tanguy, who had sacrificed himself to protect her, mourned.

Vann looked at Maria's sarcophagus and suddenly had a thought:

"If you weren't dead, wouldn't you find it noisy?"
