Chapter 535: Seventeen Old Hunters_2

"I am a Hunter! A Hunter just like you!" Vic shouted desperately, "I came to find you not for anything else, I wanted to find my wolf, my Ade! You told me that to gain the Hunter’s power, I had to go to the lost Sacrificial Arena! I went, and now I’m like this!"

"I can’t remember what happened at all!"

"No one told me what was really going on either!"

"When I woke up, Ade was gone. The Hunters were avoiding me, and the Wildfire cultists were hunting me! The only one willing to help me was that mystical Rhein Priest!"

"I just want to know what happened! I just want to know where my Ade went!"

Vic hysterically shouted out this long speech.

It seemed to drain all his Heart Power, leaving him barely able to stand, his body trembling uncontrollably. View the correct content at NovelFire

The young landlady beside was already in a daze.

Only the old Hunter continued to watch silently, but his grip on his cane had gradually loosened.

"It seems... you have indeed encountered something." The old Hunter put down his cane, then slowly stepped aside, making way into the house, "In that case, let’s have a chat."

...

Minutes later, Vic sat in the courtyard, holding a cup of hot tea, which seemed to give him strength, finally stopping his trembling.

Then he turned his head, looking at the young landlady beside him hesitantly asking, "You’re... not going back?"

"Of course, I have to keep an eye on you." The young landlady said with arms crossed, "What if you really are a Wildfire cultist leading the way? I have to be responsible to Mr. Ryan."

Before Vic could speak, the old Hunter’s voice came over: "Bringing him here was already irresponsible."

Then, the old Hunter named Ryan sat in front of Vic, while the young landlady scratched her head embarrassedly on the side.

"Um..." Vic spoke first, "I wanted to ask, you said the Wildfire cultists have been looking for you... what do you mean?"

"Just what it says." Ryan said blandly, "They have always been searching for the remaining Senluo Hunters."

"What do they want to do?"

"Don’t know."

"...Huh?"

"I also don’t know what exactly they want to do." Ryan said, "All I know is that many of my friends went missing after they were targeted by them, probably dead."

Vic muttered: "They’re also hunting me... I also don’t know what they want to do. Oh no, to be precise, they want to kill me, but I don’t know the reason."

"Not knowing the reason is quite normal, over the years, the Hunters have been trying to figure out what these guys want, but usually to no avail." Ryan said, "These guys live in the wild, survive in the wild, exuding a beastly aura that doesn’t seem human... pretty much like you now."

"...Sorry." Vic lowered his head, "I also don’t know what happened to my body."

As soon as he lowered his head, Vic felt his ear itch.

He turned to see it was the young landlady pinching his ear, naturally, the part that was wolf.

"Ah, sorry." The young landlady immediately withdrew her hand when discovered, "I was just curious about what it felt like, it kept moving when you talked, so I couldn’t resist."

Before Vic could speak, Ryan interrupted: "Rella, if you can’t be quiet, just go back."

"No." Rella sat up straight, "I’m quiet now."

Vic also felt a bit strange.

Being pinched on the ear by Rella, he surprisingly didn’t feel much aversion, but rather... a bit of enjoyment.

This inevitably reminded him of Ade, who also liked him pinching its ear.

At this thought, Vic felt a bit sad again.

At this moment, Ryan spoke again: "About the Rhein Priest you mentioned, what’s the story there?"

"Uh." Vic gathered his spirits, scratched his head, "Could you ask me something else?"

"Hmm? Can’t you talk about him?"

"He’s very mysterious, so I don’t know much about him." Vic was somewhat hesitant, "Besides, he saved my life... twice, I really can’t talk about him without his permission..."

"Is that so." Ryan nodded, "That’s good."

"...Good?"

"Yes, this makes me believe you aren’t a Wildfire cultist." Ryan said leisurely, "Those guys don’t understand such principles."

Vic scratched his head again, suddenly feeling warm inside.

"As for the other things you mentioned." Ryan said slowly, "The old Hunter who told you about the Hunter’s power from the lost Sacrificial Arena, do you remember his name?"

"Ray."

"Ray, huh..." Ryan squinted slightly, "I’ve never heard of this person."

"Never heard of him? Uh, that’s also quite normal, after all, he..."

"When I say I’ve never heard of him, I mean there isn’t such a Hunter."

Vic was dumbfounded.

"Do you think there are many Hunters left in Senluo now?" Ryan said, "I can tell you, it’s less than fifty, and we are all quite familiar with each other."

Vic was very shocked, but still tried to explain: "There might just be one..."

"Impossible." Ryan shook his head, "Do you know why? Because of what you said, the Hunter’s legacy."

"Isn’t the Hunter’s legacy at the lost Sacrificial Arena..."

"Hunters gained power from the Sacrificial Arena when the God of Senluo was still around." Ryan interrupted Vic, "Because the Sacrificial Arena is essentially just a medium, the Hunters used it to gain power from the God of Senluo, but now the God of Senluo is gone, how can the Sacrificial Arena endow power now?"

At this, Ryan paused slightly.

"But the Hunter’s legacy has not been completely cut off, I can’t tell you the exact method, but what I can say is that the current Hunter’s Power can only be passed from one Hunter to another Hunter. And once the transmission is complete, that Hunter loses the Hunter’s power."

Vic was utterly stunned, after a long time, he murmured: "So, from the start, the lost Sacrificial Arena was a hoax? That old Hunter has been deceiving me all along? But... why? What did he gain by tricking me there?"

"Don’t know." Ryan shook his head, "But I suspect this is also a Wildfire cultist’s scheme, considering your current state is identical to the wolf-like transformation of Wildfire cultists. So the ’old Hunter’ you met, Ray, is very likely a disguise of a Wildfire cultist."

"But I don’t understand." Vic said, "Why did they target me?"

Ryan looked at the half-wolf face of Vic.

"Perhaps, your wolf is the reason."

"You mean... Ade?"

"Yes." Ryan nodded slightly, "Though that fake Hunter deceived you about a lot, there’s at least one truth, in the Senluo Period, a fully empowered Hunter hunted together with a hound that also had power, the hound was known as the Hunter’s closest companion, much like you and that little wolf named Ade. But after the God of Senluo passed, this pair vanished, replaced by the Wildfire cultists who could transform their bodies into wolves, hence among Hunters, there has been this unverified theory for years."

Vic raised his head to look at Ryan.

Ryan spoke softly.

"The reason Wildfire cultists can retain their power is that... they consumed the hounds."
