Chapter 706: Aldaris’s ambition

Following that, Reef similarly took aim and fired off that 'Peluba Shock Rifle' at the Deinonychus. This was something that Sheyan suffered to previously.

A large clump of incomparably sticky dull yellow goo jetted out and drenched the unlucky Boss Deinonychus from head to toe.

The Boss Deinonychus instantly howled with fierce misery, as it scampered around in unyielding reluctance. Yet the more it ran, the slower it became. Random sediments of rock fragments, dust and what not all adhered beneath its feed.

As it scrambled up a mound, its feet suddenly slipped and it tumbled clamorously down; resulting in it becoming a meatball coated with rock fragments, rubble sediments and dried twigs. It frenziedly attempted to claw around but to no avail.

Witnessing such a scene, Reef strolled over and laughed heartily while giving the dinosaur a kick.

"You wanna run, still wanna run? Oh, lads? What are you guys up to?"

As it turns out, the squad of hunters were now eyeing the trio with unkind expressions. Their faces revealed sinister smirks as their rifles were aimed towards the trio. When they heard Reef's words, they exchanged glances and laughed wildly.

"You actually asked us what we are up to?"

"Hey, he's asking us what we are up to?!? Haha what a fantastic joke."

"This the first time you kids are hunting eh?"

　　"..."

"..."

That leader herculean chap exposed a scorpion tattoo at his chest. His brows were hopping up as he mocked.

"Not bad, not bad at all. See what god has delivered to us? Tsk Tsk, look a latest model support weapon, the 'Shamier Jolting Gun', and the 'Peluba Shock Rifle'. Oh hoh, and a live Alpha Deinonychus. Today's truly our lucky day lads, I was still wrecking my mind over how to explain our meagre the profits to the boss, and behold, a fortune from the sky!"

Another brat with a mohawk haircut casted a sly sneer.

"Big brother Blackscorpion, what should we do now?"

Blackscorpion imposingly waved his arm.

"Tie them up. I reckon there's more to profit from these three rookies. Squeeze em' dry and finish em' off. Of course, anyone wants to have a good time toying around, feel free to do so."

The squad of hunters were actually discussing in front of the trio while treating them as victims already. One could tell how unbridled they were, having tortured others in extremely cruel ways already. Thus, their leader could so casually mutter the words 'squeeze em' dry and finish em' off'.

As Brother Black listened to them, he sighed.

"A pity kiddos, ah, I truly don't have much interest in your profits...."

After releasing his statement, Brother Black darted horizontally to the side; concurrently, his golden AK spat out streaks of fiery tongues!

Simultaneously, Sheyan triggered 'Horn-Rage' on Blackscorpion. Beside, seeing how devastating his strange weapon could be, it was probably the only item that could pose a threat to Party Ace!

There was no cause for doubt over the outcome of the battle. The prowess the trio exhibited could be said to overwhelmingly suppress the hunting squad! The only question was – how long would they take?

In the end, Blackscorpion's hunting squad awarded the trip with a harvest of 30 tiny dinocrystals and 5 average sized dinocrystals.

These dinocrystals if brought to the military, could possibly be exchanged for various equipments, medicines, recipes that even contestants could use; definitely unlike the unusable american dollars that earned earlier.

Finally, with a flash of inspiration, Sheyan spared the lives of two fortunate lackeys. The first was that brat with the mohawk called Ralf, and the second, a lame middle aged cripple known as Missinson.

That was due to the increasingly complex terrain. Not only were there rift valleys, the place was populated with quite a number of dilapidated cities. Although they had the aid of a tracking device, this place was after all, nearing the central district of the dinosaur disaster zone. Having a guide would undoubtedly shave off unnecessary troubles and even hasten the pace to their destination.

As for why Sheyan spared two lives instead of one, it was fairly simple. When the crafty Raft was about to receive a punch, he shrewdly decided to use Missinson as a meatshield…...prompting Sheyan to retract his fist in time.

Without a doubt, a deep hatred had been sown between the two. Thus, by leaving them both around, they would keep tabs on each other and not resort to any tricks.

At present, the trio had tarried for over ten minutes since being dragged into this commotion. With the addition of two guides, they decided to alter their advancing direction before swiftly departing while following the tracking device.

One had to mention that Sheyan's foresight was relatively accurate. After hiring the two guides, their efficiency in travelling was raised by a notch.

After merely half an hour, the trio were soon reaching their destination. To venture deeper into this district, would be directly entering the most dangerous region of this dinosaur disaster zone!

Normally, only the military with their air force and tanks would dare to invade the place to hunt. This was because of the high probability of meeting invincible creatures at the apex of the food chain, creatures such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex and so on!

Upon hearing distant booming sounds of support weapons, the group of humans begun to brace themselves mentally; in preparation for unimaginable and abrupt situations to befall them.

At present, Brother Black suddenly recalled something and asked.

"Hey Reef. According to what you said just now, Aldaris is clearly indebted to Zi. Yet when the Illume-union divided, why did Aldaris choose to side with Zeus?"

Upon hearing Brother Black's question, Reef similarly became rather perplexed. He couldn't think of an explanation for Aldaris's conduct as well.

Instead, Sheyan chuckled and replied.

"Heaven forbid, that guy is also a lovestruck fool in this realm....if he sided with Zi, Aldaris would merely be a Growth-Hunter to her, a part of the party's backbone. At most, Zi would have five heavenly generals under her instead of four. He wouldn't be able to win Zi's value in that manner."

"Instead, if he relied on his own strength to deal with Zeus's Glory Party and win sovereignty over the party, merging with the Illume-union once again would propel his position in Zi's heart to second to none! Why would such a formidable individual think like a fifteen year old high school student? Sadly, reality and logic always possess such cruel disparity."

"It seems that even before Aldaris even had the chance to accomplish his objective, the rich and powerful Glory Party decided to mobilize and push Zi towards the edge of fatal crisis...."

"Moreover, according to the recorded footage we saw. The situation of Aldaris battling against Yuan Zhan isn't looking too great for him eh."

At this moment, Reef earnestly refuted.

"Boss, I guessing you're calculating Aldaris's battle capabilities based on how he fought before right?"

Sheyan gently answered.

"Yeah. In the Avatar World, that battle where Aldaris defeated Zi. My calculations do stem from there."

Reef slowly explained.

"But boss, if your earlier deduction is spot on, would Aldaris unleash his full might against a woman he secretly loves?"

Sheyan became stumped and sincerely agreed.

"Nope."

Reef's gaze turned deeper as he described.

"Actually to Aldaris, he attaches utmost importance to the 'Mage-Nemesis' dagger he holds. I'm not referring to its MP burn property and deadly damage it deals to mage type contestants. On the contrary, the discrete value of that weapon, resides in supplying an endless stream of MP back to Aldaris!"

"When Aldaris offhands his weapon, that is when he is the most terrifying!"

　　**************

Aldaris was surrounded.

Enemies stood to his front, left, right and back!

Redoubtable enemies!

Attempting to kill a Growth-Hunter summoner, even a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter would suffice. However, once given adequate time for preparations, a Growth-Hunter summoner would turn the tides overwhelmingly with insurmountably dreadful might!

Without a doubt, when facing Aldaris, Yuan Zhan had already prepared for an extremely, extremely long time. Because he previously thought he would face off with his former party leader; the woman who understood him like the back of her hand.

In Aldaris's perspective, his rival was Yuan Zhan.

That formidable Yuan Zhan hailed by Zi as her party's reviving hope!

The frenetic retaliation of Yuan Zhan was to break all cauldrons and sinking all boats*. To Aldaris, such a circumstance was equivalent to facing the combined aggression of four Growth-Hunters.

(TL*Idiom, cutting off all means of retreat)

Nevertheless, Aldaris's gaze maintained an incredible fortitude, and even burned with slight insanely vigor. He stared at the distant Yuan Zhan with a gaze that could penetrate one's soul, and warned with austere incisiveness.

"Do you think, this can keep you from dying?"

Aldaris half knelt to the ground and pressed both palms onto the ground. In a flash, numerous white distorting glows flickered out from his palms. They resembled tiny snakes, as the white glows speedily wriggled out in all directions!

Within a second, those white distorting glows congregated onto the first summoning beast that was about to assault him!

A terrifyingly blinding light illuminated out! Seemingly attempting to cover the space between heaven and earth!

The eyes of all present were dazzled in white blindness. Then, a streak of slender and acute distorted lightning unexpectedly jolted out from the void of white, before bolting down!

This lightning bolt struck with such vast ferocity. Although different from the boundless majestic lightning from the sky, this lightning bolt instead offered a dazzling impression of unbeatable sharpness.

If nature's thunder and lightning was like gigantic hammers dropping from the sky and smashing down throughout horizons, attempting to vaporize all lifeforms and not leave even bones behind…..then, Aldaris's lightning bolt was an incredibly thin and sharp needle, piercing straight into the heart! Then, erupting and upsurging a tempestuous thunderstorm in the heart!
