Chapter 299: Chapter 297 Qiao Feiya. Qiao Ai’er

"You killed this monster, so I’ll give you the loot, but that doesn’t mean you’re better than me, and next time we encounter a Disaster Level monster, we need to compete fairly—no playing tricks," he said.

Miao Miaomiao looked gloomily at the tumor-like flesh, feeling she would have had the upper hand against such a monster that relied purely on brute strength if Wen Wen hadn’t started with a sneaky move.

Wen Wen chuckled and stuffed the tumor-like flesh into his bag, then asked Miao Miaomiao, "Shall we continue deeper? The monsters ahead are likely to be denser, and maybe we can see what that Catastrophe Level Containment Item really looks like."

"Of course. Having reached the sealing site of a Catastrophe Level Containment Item and not checking it out would be a waste of an opportunity," Miao Miaomiao replied without hesitation.

"Then let’s continue. It’s a pity about my mount though, training a new one will take quite some time, so we’ll have to walk," he said.

The two agreed and continued forward, both eager to see the true form of the Catastrophe Level Containment Item.

Outside, Xun Qing had mentioned that they might see the entity of the Containment Item, but he hadn’t mentioned any severe dangers, so just taking a look should be safe.

Neither of them had reckless thoughts, and neither would foolishly rush into danger.

Next, Miao Miaomiao carried the sound system while Wen Wen took charge of the lighting; this strange duo moved forward and soon dispatched several Disaster Level monsters.

However, as they walked, they noticed instead of increasing, the density of the monsters seemed to be decreasing.

A few steps later, they stopped in their tracks because a corpse lay before them—a Disaster Level monster’s corpse, its head tumor already cut off!

In this environment, seeing the corpse of a Disaster Level monster wasn’t very surprising, but what made them stop was how cleanly the monster had been killed.

There was a deep sword mark on its skull, and aside from that, there were no other wounds on its body. Wen Wen knew how tough the monster’s skin was. Just one wound meant—it was a one-hit kill!

The two exchanged glances, instantly knowing who was responsible.

Among all the Demon Hunters participating in the assessment, only one had such formidable strength—the blonde woman in the blue armor.

"Perhaps, the decrease in monster density is due to that woman’s rampant killing," Wen Wen speculated uncertainly.

The area of the Underground Palace was vast, and it wasn’t easy for superpower users to encounter each other, let alone for one person to reduce the monster density by themselves.

But soon, evidence proved Wen Wen was right, and as they continued, they found bodies every few steps, their strengths varying from Disaster to Calamity Level, essentially creating a scene of bodies strewn everywhere.

Each sword strike was decisively lethal, without any hesitation, meaning that even after killing so many monsters, that person hadn’t weakened at all.

This stark difference in strength made the duo, who had just successfully hunted a Disaster Level monster, instantly lose their earlier exhilaration.

Advancing further, they came to a hall several dozen meters wide and over ten meters high, where they witnessed a shocking scene.

In the center of the hall, the bodies of monsters were piled into a small mountain, and atop this mountain stood a woman in blue armor, watching Wen Wen and his companion.

Upon seeing Wen Wen and his companion appear, the woman’s eyes brightened, and jumping down to face them, she smiled and said, "My name is Qiao Feiya Qiao Ai’er, but as per the customs of you people from the Capital, you can call me Qiaoqiao."

"Hello... May I ask how you gathered so many monsters?" Wen Wen asked, puzzled. The monsters were spread out so widely it seemed unlikely, despite her strength, that she could manage such a feat.

Qiao Feiya blinked and said, "That’s my secret, but I have a proposal—if you agree, I’ll tell you."

"What proposal?" Miao Miaomiao asked, puzzled.

Qiao Feiya flipped her hair and smiled, saying, "I kill monsters too quickly. The cutting and carrying of tumors actually waste time. If I am at the front killing monsters, and you are behind collecting tumors, the harvest will certainly be much more than now. Are you willing?"

"Are you insulting us?"

Miao Miaomiao’s eyebrows furrowed, being a Demon Hunter who was also participating in the Ranger’s assessment, she did not want to inexplicably become subordinate to another woman.

Qiao Feiya’s lip twitched slightly and with a bit of embarrassment, she waved her hands at Miao Miaomiao, saying, "You’ve misunderstood. How could this be an insult? It’s merely a transaction."

"I don’t want to waste time on useless things, and you can also gain greater benefits. I can give you one third of the tumors I collect, so that everyone is happy."

Wen Wen suddenly interjected, asking, "You just need to kill one Disaster Level Monster, or ten Disaster Level Monsters to pass the assessment, any extra tumors should be meaningless, right? Why do you want to exert unnecessary effort?"

Qiao Feiya was momentarily taken aback and asked, "You don’t know?"

Wen Wen narrowed his eyes slightly: "We don’t know what?"

After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Feiya said, "This assessment is actually also a sweeping mission. All the tumors collected here, regardless of level, can be exchanged with the Hunters Association for a certain amount of Demon Hunting Coins..."

"There’s such a good deal? How did we not know about this."

Wen Wen’s expression turned sour. He had carelessly killed many small monsters before and had discarded their tumors, making him feel like he had lost out on a fortune.

Then Wen Wen’s thoughts quickly became active. If Disaster Level small monsters also count, the operability is very high!

Seeing Wen Wen’s expression, Qiao Feiya eagerly asked Wen Wen, "Since you think it’s a good thing, then will you help me? Working together, we can surely gain greater benefits than if we act alone."

Wen Wen firmly shook his head. He couldn’t bring himself to rely on someone else’s charity to obtain spoils of war.

But he turned to Miao Miaomiao and said, "If you want to stay, her proposal is indeed good."

"No need, I plan to examine that Catastrophe Level Containment Item and then complete the assessment. When the time comes, if my Disaster Level tumors are not enough, can you make up the shortfall for me?" Miao Miaomiao refused.

Although she usually didn’t appear very smart, she had her own pride. Continuing here no matter how hard she tried, the monsters killed would merely be the leftovers of Qiao Feiya, so staying here had become pointless.

"Since you feel that way, I’m not going to stop you. However, I have a way to massively kill these monsters; do you want to come along?"

Wen Wen paused for a moment before pulling out two tumors and handing them to Miao Miaomiao.

She had been a great help during the battle against that Catastrophe Level Monster, and giving her these two tumors did not put Wen Wen at a loss.

"No need. What’s the difference between following behind you and following behind her? I need to fight for what I want on my own!"

After speaking, Miao Miaomiao turned and walked towards the direction of the Catastrophe Level Containment Item.

Her ability was called ’Beast King,’ and kings do not accept charity from others.
