Unexpected X Break
"The big guy is coming."
Kevin seemed to sense something, raised his hand to his eyes, and looked into the distance.
The larger the creature, the less likely it is to deliberately conceal its Nen Aura.
They will transform their Nen Aura into something similar to a powerful force, and radiate it in all directions.
At this point, the area around Rabik had become a battlefield.
The Village continuously used various ranged attack-type Nen ability to provide him with support.
But they clearly didn't want to go out.
"So, if more people go out, the attraction will be stronger, right?" Kevin asked, looking at the scene before him.
Bianluoke nodded. "A person's attractiveness will gradually increase, but the scope of that attraction is limited."
"The reason we chose this direction is because there aren't many powerful creatures in the area to the west of the Village, making it relatively safe. If two people went out together, the attraction range would expand, and we might attract too many powerful creatures."
It seems we'll have to go out one by one.
Soon, the weak creatures disappeared, because the big ones appeared.
Upon seeing the creature slowly approaching from afar, some villagers' faces instantly turned grim.
Kevin recognized the creature as well.
"It's Tentacle Python."
This is a giant Python that can reach a length of 16 meters. What's most special is that it has at least ten tentacles on its body, all of which are its weapons of attack.
This snake is non-venomous, yet possesses tremendous strength.
In Kevin's opinion, this should be considered a B-class creature.
"I've heard that the meat on the part of this snake with long tentacles is especially chewy, tastes amazing, and has a top-notch texture," Men Qi muttered to herself.
As she spoke, she turned her head and said, "What if they can't handle it?"
Her meaning couldn't be clearer.
Faced with such top-quality ingredients, Men Qi naturally didn't want to miss out.
If we send them to search in the forest, it would take them an unknown amount of time. Now that they've come to us willingly, there's no reason for us to let them go easily.
However, at this moment, Kevin's expression became extremely serious.
"What's wrong?" Xiahara asked, frowning. Kevin's expression clearly indicated that something serious had happened.
Kevin just stared intently into the distance, then looked at Bianluoke beside him. "Don't ask why, just tell the people in your Village that this hunt is going to go wrong."
Because Kevin saw Little Black.
That mass of Resentment was staring intently at him from afar.
Okay, that thing doesn't have eyes.
But Kevin felt that he was most likely just looking at himself.
Although he didn't know why it was there, Kevin's gut feeling told him it was definitely not a good thing.
I can't understand why they're so persistent.
"What? While I'd love to believe you, well—okay."
Bianluoke wanted to say something more, but seeing Kevin's serious expression, he could only nod and turn to run towards the direction of the Village Chief.
But outside the Village.
The Tentacle Python had reached Rabik's side and launched an attack without hesitation.
The Village immediately provided remote support.
Their attack did indeed leave numerous wounds, large and small, on the Python.
But at this moment, the giant python didn't care at all; all its attention was focused on Rabik.
Tentacles, like thick whips, lashed out at Rabik.
Faced with such a fierce and dense attack, Rabik had no chance to fight back and could only dodge in all directions.
"Really."
Kevin looked in another direction and saw another monster unabashedly releasing its aura as it charged towards them.
At this moment, Bianluoke had already run to the Village Chief's side.
"Village Chief, that guest warned us that something unexpected might happen during this hunt."
"An unexpected situation?" The Village Chief frowned. "What exactly do you mean?"
Bianluoke shook his head helplessly. "I don't know either, but I think he probably doesn't quite understand it himself either."
Such an ambiguous answer made the Village Chief frown even more.
But he had to consider it carefully, after all, the other party was Professional Hunter. Under normal circumstances, no one would joke about such a thing for no reason.
"Then let's all stay alert and on our toes," Melusina interjected.
Upon hearing this, the Village Chief nodded.
"That's the only way. What other preparations can we make?"
Aside from being more vigilant, they really couldn't think of any other way to deal with it.
Just then...
The external situation has changed.
Just as Rabik was locked in fierce combat with the Tentacle Python, an armored creature, as swift as a rushing stream, charged forward.
It smashed to pieces all obstacles in its path.
"Armored Rhinoceros, oh no! Call Rabik back!"
Upon seeing this, the Village Chief shouted loudly.
The villagers below were immediately thrown into chaos.
However, at this moment, Rabik was entangled with the Tentacle Python and had no way to break free.
Although the villagers' attack caused some damage to the Python, Rabik was unable to lure Python closer to the edge of the Village.
As a result, the effectiveness of ranged attacks in the Village is greatly reduced, and the damage they can cause is very limited.
Another one has arrived.
Kevin gazed into the distance and muttered to himself.
Upon hearing this, Bianluoke, who had just run back, turned deathly pale.
"Is there anything else? Are you sure?"
There are now two.
Seeing Bianluoke's anxious expression, Kevin nodded. "These big guys don't hide their presence. If some of them do, the situation will be even worse."
"Why? That doesn't make sense. Surely these big guys haven't been wandering around all day?"
But that's clearly unlikely.
They dared to send people out to attract creatures because, while human attraction is strong, its range is limited.
Every powerful creature has its own sense of territory.
In other words, the attraction emanating from a creature usually only attracts one powerful being.
Normally, such a powerful creature would be enough to serve as the main dish for the annual celebration.
For a grand Festival like this year, we can simply conduct more hunts or change the direction of the hunt.
But they never expected that this would attract several powerful creatures.
This was clearly beyond their capabilities.
Moreover, this doesn't make sense, since the territories of large creatures rarely overlap; otherwise, they would have fought each other long ago.
At this moment, Rabik outside also saw the Armored Rhinoceros charging menacingly.
He decisively retreated towards the Village Boundary.
Faced with the relentless lashing tentacles, he grabbed one and used both hands to block it. He was then flung away, using the force of the impact to slightly adjust his direction and fly towards the Boundary area before crashing heavily to the ground.
The Village were already prepared.
Several iron hooks flew out from the edge of the Village, instantly catching his clothes and pulling him back into the Village.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"He reacts really quickly," Men Qi commented.
There is no longer Attraction Source.
"Careful!"
The Saintess suddenly shouted.
A tentacle actually broke through the Boundary and reached in.
"That's impossible!"
This scene completely overturned the villagers' understanding.
Most of the villagers who saw this scene were stunned and didn't react for a moment.
The tentacle that reached in wrapped itself around the nearest villager and dragged him out.
