I'm also desperate.

Chapter 80 Hunter's Instinct

Yes, it was rare.

According to Lord Han, the last time he saw this type of strange occurrence in Guyue Village was three years ago, so Lord Han didn't specifically explain these two types of strange happenings to Fang Yue at the time.

"Transfer-type strange beings?"

Xiao Hou was a little confused: "Night Vice Captain, are you saying that the strange being that was originally going to possess me was transferred to something else?"

"That's right."

"Is it that horse?"

"That's right!"

Xiao Hou's scalp tingled. He didn't expect that he had saved his own life by accident.

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and put a [Detection Talisman] on Xiao Hou, but there was no reaction at all.

After confirming that it was safe, both of them felt relieved.

Fang Yue looked around and asked, "Do you still recognize the way back?"

Once in the wilderness, Fang Yue was completely lost. The surrounding environment was very unfamiliar, so he could only rely on Xiao Hou.

Xiao Hou then carefully looked around, and his face lit up with joy.

"Night Vice Captain, we are not far from the hunting area."

That's great!

The safest plan was to first join up with the guard team in the hunting area, report the situation to Lin Ling, and then work together to kill the strange being.

Immediately, Fang Yue had Xiao Hou lead the way.

Before long, they arrived at the edge of the hunting area, but there were six corpses lying on the ground.

Fang Yue and Xiao Hou's expressions changed slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yue stepped forward to take a closer look.

These six corpses had multiple claw-like wounds on their bodies. The fatal wounds were all blood holes pierced through their chests. Their expressions were ferocious, and blood flowed all over the ground.

"They haven't been dead for long!"

"Night Vice Captain, it might have been done by that horse strange being!"

Xiao Hou reminded him from the side, but Fang Yue saw more.

For example... these people were not without the power to resist, but after a fierce confrontation, they were killed with one blow, a hole through the chest, by some kind of move.

Even...

Fang Yue stared at the face of one of the corpses. The face, which maintained a ferocious expression, was stained with black blood.

That wasn't his blood, but the blood of the strange being!

Xiao Hou said with a complicated expression, "This is Team Leader Jin! I even had a drink with him a few days ago. I didn't expect that today..."

So he was a team leader. No wonder he was able to injure the strange being.

Fang Yue pondered slightly, feeling that the strange being's strength wouldn't be too strong.

"Night Vice Captain? Let's go in quickly. That horse strange being will definitely kill more people! With your strength, you can definitely kill it easily!"

Xiao Hou said anxiously, but Fang Yue didn't move.

He was hesitating.

Should he notify Lin Ling to deal with it?

Or should he rush in and try to steal the strange being's head?

You have to know, nighttime is my home field.

It's still daytime...

While Fang Yue was hesitating, a message suddenly lit up in his friend list. The sender of the message was... Jing Yan.

"Night bro! There's a strange being, the team's in danger, come back quick!"

...

A few minutes ago.

Jing Yan was shuttling through the hunting area, using the skills he learned from the blood hunter to set up new traps one by one.

He also went to the old trap locations that the blood hunter had told him about to see if any prey had been caught.

From time to time, Jing Yan would look up at the sky.

In the sky, an eagle circled above his head for a moment before flying elsewhere, as if confirming his safety.

That was a special favor from another old hunter in the hunting area.

"When I get the blood hunter's blood eagle, hunting will be easy."

A hunter needs a pet.

However, eagles are indeed difficult to get. Dogs are easier to get, but that's only for hunters with strength.

Apprentices like him don't even think about having pets before they finish their apprenticeship.

Outside the game, his Jǐngsè Studio has already made a name for itself, and his career is booming.

The reception problem is handled by another specialist in the studio, so he has the leisure to come back and continue playing the game.

Reaching the location again, Jing Yan was suddenly overjoyed as he set down the trap.

"System notification: Congratulations to the player for using the [Basic Simple Trap] multiple times. Practice makes perfect. Reward: Force Control +0.1."

Unlike other players who desperately squeeze into the guard team, life-type players also have their own way to improve their strength.

The hunter profession relies on setting traps and hunting to improve basic attributes.

Naturally, the attribute improvement is not as fast as those in the guard team, but the benefits of life professions are not only attributes, but also the distribution of prey after hunting, and even exchanging a certain amount of prey for lifespan.

Basically, the first batch of players to enter Guyue Village all chose similar life professions.

They rely on helping NPCs, doing tasks, and increasing their favorability.

Only after they become skilled and can truly help, and receive tasks that can give them lifespan, can they form a cycle and be able to survive in the village.

Otherwise, one day's lifespan is simply not enough.

Guyue Village is still good. After last night's disturbance, the players in the village who didn't die were rewarded with three days of lifespan, which greatly increased the buffer time.

The players in other villages are miserable.

According to Jing Yan's own estimation, many people on the forums this morning were already scolding the game, all because they had run out of their one-day lifespan and couldn't find a way to replenish it, and died on the spot.

They would have to wait 24 hours before they could enter the game again, and the frustration was self-evident.

But these are all minor problems.

Jing Yan believes that with the quality of this game, no game on the market will be able to compare with it for one or two years, and even if the bone is difficult to chew, there will be a market.

Seeing a person and a dog suddenly appear in front of him, Jing Yan suppressed his thoughts and approached to say hello.

"Brother Qiu, how's the harvest?"

"Hey, just so-so. It's all small stuff. I don't know when I'll see a strange prey again."

"Strange prey?"

"Oh, you're a drifter, so you probably haven't seen it."

Brother Qiu had the eagle in the sky fly further away to find prey, and continued casually.

"Strange prey are prey that are several times larger than regular animals and have a bit of strange bloodline."

"This kind of strange prey is hard to come by. The last time I saw it was three years ago. Your master, the blood hunter, hunted a three-meter-tall giant deer strange prey and brought it back, which excited the whole village at the time."

"After the giant deer was divided up and eaten by the whole village, the number of guard team members in the village skyrocketed, and everyone was strong and full of blood. That's also part of the reason why our village has so many guard team members. It's a pity that none of them can break through the martial arts and enter the Houtian realm."

"Giant deer-type strange prey are ultimately just for replenishing qi and blood, and have great tonic effects for those who are still practicing crude martial arts. As for wanting to step into the martial arts, it depends on personal opportunity."

Jing Yan's heart stirred. Listening to what he said, eating strange prey can increase basic attributes?

Speaking of which, among the prey that the blood hunter asked to be handed over, there were several that looked very rare just from the name. Perhaps their meat is also helpful to martial artists.

Jing Yan was quick-witted and secretly remembered it in his heart, feeling that he could have the studio create a special issue of [Hunter's Guide to Prey].

However, it's still not enough to make a special issue with just this bit of information.

Jing Yan immediately wanted to ask a few more questions, but he didn't expect the hunting dog next to Brother Qiu to suddenly bark.

"Shh!"

Brother Qiu's face changed, and he immediately became nervous. He lowered himself and covered the hunting dog's mouth to prevent it from making a sound, while staring intently in the direction the dog was barking.

Jing Yan fixed his eyes to look and found that it was just a horse walking slowly between the trees. It was just that its movements were slightly stiff, giving people a sense of disharmony.

"Wild horse? Should we catch it..."

"Shh!"

Brother Qiu immediately glared at Jing Yan and lowered his voice, "I'll count to three, and then we'll run in different directions. You go left, and I'll go right. Go directly to the guard team for help, understand?"
