Chapter 675: Chapter 504: The Final Sacrifice (Two in One) – Part 2
“Swoosh!”
The car door opened, and five or six burly n carrying a black box erged. Their skilled manner gave off the impression of a professional team.
The n nodded at the bouncer in front of the tavern, as a form of greeting, and then entered without any hindrance.
This scene surprised many young people because the Wildfire Tavern in front of them seed to never be open to the public.
At least, they had tried several tis and were repeatedly turned away. Over ti, a rumor began to circulate.
It said that the Wildfire Tavern was a mysterious place, only accessible to specific mbers, and those who went there seed to have visited the Immortal Realm, unable to extricate themselves.
Inside the tavern, the music was not as loud and jarring as one might imagine, but quite gentle.
There were not many patrons. They were sitting in small groups in the hall, quietly talking about sothing.
These individuals were actually Bounty Hunters, living on the edge of danger. Most of them were from Gaul, but so ca from other parts of the world.
Now, the Wildfire Tavern served not only as a place for handing over assignnts, but also as a spot for these Bounty Hunters to gather and relax on regular days.
Even so outsiders could rent a room to use the place as a temporary resting spot.
The professional team was used to this. They carried the large black box, expertly navigating through the corridor to the bar counter in the tavern.
“Thud!”
A dull sound erupted as the n dropped the massive black box on the ground.
The noise indicated that the box was extrely heavy.
This sound imdiately drew everyone’s attention. All eyes turned to the huge black box, sparking a flurry of whispered conversations.
“Heh, I wondered who it was, turns out it’s the ‘Rat Extermination Team’ coming over.”
“Yes, I heard they’ve turned in quite a number of black rat corpses recently, causing the price of mutated rats to drop by half.”
“Damn, what half, your news is outdated! Now, a mutated rat costs only eight thousand points! I barely caught two last ti, and they only sold for sixteen thousand.”
“Just sixteen thousand? That’s indeed a bit too little, but these rats provide quite a lot of Hunter Points, each one worth 1 point. Kill a few more, and we could exchange them for those special potions.”
“Potion…”
The man who spoke earlier showed a mix of hope and hesitation in his eyes.
Inside the Wildfire Tavern, Hunters earn a certain number of points after completing assignnts.
These points could be used to upgrade a Hunter’s rank, thus qualifying them for more advanced missions.
Or, they could be spent to exchange for so rare items.
These exchangeable items, accessible via their Hunter terminals, were diverse and included hard-to-find objects.
Such as modified good weapons designed for combat in special environnts, Cold Weapons and Armor crafted from Mutant Beast Materials which, in so cases, were more effective than Hot Weapons.
Besides these items, there were also so incredibly magical items, one of which was the Magic Potion.
Of course, the points required to exchange for a Magic Potion were very high, and so far, no team of Hunters had managed to accumulate enough points.
Therefore, many people were still sowhat skeptical about it.
Although they were exposed to a corner of the Extraordinary World earlier than ordinary people,
For these Hunters, the so-called Extraordinary World was just a disturbance caused by animals with mutated genes.
That’s why they were dubious about the Potion that was said to be able to change one’s physical qualities.
After all, such things always bring to mind so terrifying and strange biochemical experints. Even if he had enough points, he wouldn’t necessarily dare to be the first one to buy.
A group of people quietly discussed matters related to Hunter Points, and their conversation had long since shifted from the “Rat Extermination Team” to other matters.
So even laughed in the manner of an old driver during the discussion, although it was unclear what they were talking about.
Morris didn’t pay attention to the group. Although his face seed calm, excitent was already shining in his eyes.
Because today, as long as he successfully submitted the bodies of these Mutated Black Rats, he would earn enough points to exchange for a bottle of that Magic Potion.
The effect of the Magic Potion was still uncertain to him.
But Morris had once witnessed two young Hunters at Ero Beach overpower a lizard so huge it made one question life itself.
That scene had deeply shocked them, so later, they decided together to use the points from future completed tasks to exchange for a bottle of that potion.
Of course, as the user of this potion, Morris had paid a great price; otherwise, his teammates wouldn’t willingly give him the opportunity.
“Philip! Where are you! Co out! We have a task to submit!”
Morris shouted loudly towards the back of the bar.
However, after he finished speaking, there was no response, and the bartender usually in charge of task submission did not appear as expected.
After waiting a while longer, Morris couldn’t help but call out again, his voice a few decibels louder than before.
“Damn it, Philip, hurry up and co out! I have a task to submit! You haven’t died in a woman’s belly, have you!”
Following his words, this ti, there was finally so movent behind the bar.
A Gaul man with sunken eyes walked out, his gaze unfriendly as he looked toward them.
“Damn it, Morris, keep it down! I’m entertaining so important guests; don’t disturb my custors!”
Speaking, he walked directly to a black chest, casually opened the lid to check inside, then quickly closed it again.
“Hmm, not bad, twelve Mutated Black Rats in total. I’ll transfer the money directly to you later, and your points will also be added to your personal terminal.”
The man nad Philip, a Gaul, called over two waiters-dressed individuals to move the large black chest to the storeroom underground; he then turned around, planning to re-enter the room he had co from.
Morris was quite surprised to see this scene.
The man before him was notoriously stingy.
Every ti he ca to tally the Mutant Beast Materials, he would ticulously count them for a long ti.
Then he would find a whole bunch of reasons to reduce the compensation to an infuriatingly low range.
Yet today’s response from him was a bit too abnormal.
The stingy Philip just looked at the quantity of the task items and then, without any intention to haggle, planned to leave directly.
Morris couldn’t help but glance at the room Philip had co from, speculating that there might really be so formidable big shot inside.
It was enough to make even Philip want to stay inside and not linger any longer outside.
However, for so reason, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart, recalling the two n he had seen through the car window at Ero Beach.
Those two, like Supern, had the strength of thousands of pounds in their hands and could jump over ten ters in a leap.
Morris’s cheeks trembled slightly.
“Could the people in that room be them…?”
