Chapter 3223
The leader struggled to crawl towards his daughter and hugged her to check if she was injured anywhere. After confirming that she was safe, he finally calmed down. "Yolanda, it's alright now. We're safe now."
She was shocked and stunned for a few seconds before coming back to her senses. She looked at her father and became very emotional. "Dad!"
At this moment, Fade strolled towards them after killing the Whitehead Bear with just one strike.
The leader saw him and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving my life."
Yolanda also bowed to thank him, "Thank you so much!"
Fade waved his hand and said, "May I know what this place is, and who you people are?"
The leader was a little shocked, but he immediately nodded and replied, "This is Woyer Forest, located in South Van City. We are the beast hunting team and we live near the forest."
"My name is Hadrian Qin, the captain of the beast hunting team. This is my daughter, Yolanda. Those people just now were all members of our beast hunting team, and our team is basically made up of people from nearby villages." "The villages are all nearby South Van City and not anywhere too far." Fade made up his mind, then said, "Can you bring me to South Van City?"
"Of course! You're our hero. Just give any order, and I'll definitely not refuse. I will do my best to assist you." Hadrian looked serious.
Yolanda also nodded with a serious expression. "Our hero, well repay your kindness."
Fade chuckled and said, "You don't have to be so serious. My name is Fade Chen. You can just call me Fade."
"Fade Chen, in that case, I shall call you
Brother Chen!" She was rather excited.
Hadrian also said, "Mr. Chen, I'm injured now, so I'm afraid I can't go to South Van City for the time being. If you don't mind, why don't you follow us back to the village and we can rest for the night. Tomorrow, we'll leave for South Van City." "Sure, that sounds like a plan." Fade nodded.
Yolanda went over to support Hadrian, but her father was heavily injured. He was shivering at that moment, then suddenly fell to the ground.
"Dad!" Yolanda immediately became anxious.
Seeing what was happening, Fade stepped forward and said, "Yolanda, don't worry. Let me have a look at him."
As he spoke, he put his hand on Hadrian's pulse and examined his condition.
"It's nothing too serious. His main injuries are in his organs, but he will recover after a period of recuperation," he said.
Then, he silently forced some positive energy and wood essence into Hadrian's body to treat most of his injuries.
"I-1 feel much better now. Thank you, Mr. Chen. Thank you so much." Hadrian quickly thanked him.
Yolanda felt both curious and grateful. "Brother Chen, are you a pharmacist?"
"Pharmacist?" Fade shook his head and smiled, "I just happen to know some simple medical skills."
"It's still so amazing that you know some simple medical skills," she exclaimed with a serious expression.
Hadrian stood up while Yolanda helped support him, and they prepared to leave.
Just then, a burst of surprised voices were heard.
"The Whitehead Bear is dead!"
"Captain Hadrian, are you alright?"
"Yolanda, where are you?"
The members of the beast hunting team who had escaped earlier came back. When they saw the Whitehead Bear's dead body, they had a huge reaction. "I'm fine and so is Yolanda." Hadrian walked towards them.
When the members saw them, they immediately gathered around and asked with concern.
Lemont, on the other hand, looked at the dead Whitehead Bear and was feeling anxious, "This vicious beast is at Stage 8 of the Physical Refine Realm, even one rank higher than the Cloud-splitting Leopard. If we selt this, it'll be worth 50,000 yuan
stones." Content be000 yuan
As soon as the words "50,000 yuan stones" were said, the beast hunting team members' eyes all opened wide.
However, this reminded Hadrian about something. He coughed and said in a low voice, "Nobody can touch it. This Whitehead Bear belongs to Mr. Chen." Then, he gave an order, "One more thing, everything we gain during our hunt this time all belongs to Mr. Chen."
"What!?"
All the team members were shocked, especially Lemont. His eyes were wide open and he looked very agitated.
"Captain Qin, what are you doing? It took us almost a week to catch the Flaming Fox which was at Stage 6 of the Physical Refine Realm and also other low level vicious beasts The total value of those is several thousand yuan stones. Adding on this Whitehead Bear which is worth 50,000 yuan stones, that's a lot that we're about to give up to someone for free. Wouldn't that be too..."
Hadrian glared at him and said in a low voice, "Lemont, shut your mouth."
"The Whitehead Bear you mentioned does not belong to us in the first place. It was Mr. Chen who killed it on his own. Moreover, if it wasn't for him, Yolanda and I would have been killed by this Whitehead Bear already."
"As for the Flaming Fox and the other vicious beasts, we have to give them to Mr. Chen as a gift to express our gratitude."
"Ah, this... But..." Lemont was still not convinced.
Seeing this, Yolanda said angrily, "Lemont, you seem to really think highly of the yuan stones. Are you trying to say that me and my father's lives are less important than these yuan stones?" "Yolanda, that's not what I meant. In my heart, you're the most important person. 1-1 just can't bear to..." He hurriedly explained.
Hadrian waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to say anymore. I've made up my mind."
After that, he turned to Fade and said, "Mr. Chen, these are a little token of appreciation and my gratitude towards you. Please accept them."
Fade gently moved his fingers and collected the corpse of the Whitehead Bear into his Ice Soul Pearl. As for the vicious beasts that they had hunted down that day, he just left them there. "You can keep these for yourselves."
"Mr. Chen, we..."
Hadrian wanted to say something, but Fade waved his hand and interrupted him.
"It's getting late and it'll be too dangerous to stay in the forest."
Hearing this, Hadrian could only agree with Fade's decision. He then ordered his team to start walking out of the Woyer Forest.
Along the way, Lemont walked closer to Yolanda and kept asking about her health.
However, she puffed out her cheeks and ignored him. Instead, she turned to Fade and tried to start a conversation with him.
"Brother Chen, where did you come from? What are you doing here?"
"Brother Chen, you killed the Whitehead Bear with just one move; that's so powerful. Have you reached the Soul Refine Realm yet?"
"Brother Chen, South Yan City is a very prosperous place. What are you going there for?"
Fade chatted with Yolanda from time to time and gained some basic information from her.
Her village's had existed for thousands of years and they had been living there all along. They hunted for vicious beasts and sold them to make a living.
However, the vicious beasts were so fierce that there were many casualties in the village. Therefore, the villagers living nearby had been living quite a miserable life. Yolanda's mother was attacked by a vicious beast during a beast hunt two years ago. She was seriously injured and had died.
About two hours later, Fade saw a village ahead. Dozens of wooden houses were built along a river.
There was a field beside the houses which they used to grow grains and vegetables; it was surrounded by fences as well.
On the other side, there was a farm with small animals like chickens and ducks, which seemed to be the villagers' main source of food.
