Chapter 228

Chapter 228

‘Hah.’

Choi Yeonseung was also flustered. He had seen all kinds of nasty things while wandering in the Abyss, but Chen Xiezhi had lost his mind due to old age. It was truly unimaginable.

“This is Suzhou, Mr. Chen Xiezhi.”

The Chinese hunters next to him whispered in tears. They tried to trick the foreign hunters, but they hadn’t expected to be exposed right off the bat. Chen Xiezhi’s situation was bound to be discovered no matter how much they tried to hide it.

The current situation was an emergency due to the monster wave occurring all over China. They had no choice but to do this...

“Ah... Suzhou. Why am I here?”

“You are here to fight monsters.”

“Really? Ah, it seems so. By the way, who is the king now? Wasn’t it Chiang Kaishek?”

“Elder...! It’s not a king, it’s a leader, and it’s not Chiang Kaishek!”

The Chinese hunters were shocked by his bringing up the Taiwanese leader’s name nonchalantly, despite seemingly having lost his memories.

“I’ve told you many times! It’s the People’s Republic of China, the Communist Party of China!”

“What? Those guys still haven’t been destroyed??”

“......”

The hunters, who were saddened at first, were now biting their lips and holding back their laughter. It was an utterly ridiculous situation.

Ben Nacht coughed and said, “I can see why Hunter Chen Xiezhi hasn’t shown up in a while. But now we have to deal with an S-grade monster. Wouldn’t it be more dangerous to have a hunter who isn’t in a normal state participate in the fight?”

Ben Nacht didn’t want to see a former master like Chen Xiezhi die. He preferred to exclude him from the fight, but...

“Are you saying I’m not normal now??” Chen Xiezhi said indignantly.

Ben Nacht was taken aback and tried to reply, “I didn’t mean it like that...”

“That’s exactly what you meant! Sob... This guy is disregarding me like this! What’s the meaning of this? I’m being dismissed like this!”

Chen Xiezhi started hitting the palm of his hand with his fist and the Chinese hunters next to him were at a loss.

“Go and do something!”

“Uh... Uh...”

“Aish... Forget it!”

With these words, Chen Xiezhi waved his hand.

Bang!Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

After being hit, the Chinese hunter flew away while puking blood.

‘This is...’

Choi Yeonseung saw it clearly. Chen Xiezhi instantly combined three or four high-level spells and then sent the Chinese hunter flying! Hunters with no memories couldn’t do something like that so easily and naturally.

“I don’t like you either!”

“W-Wait...”

Bam!

Another Chinese hunter flew away.

They didn’t dare launch a proper attack on Chen Xiezhi, China’s national treasure. Even if they tried to attack, the C-D hunters had no chance to subdue Chen Xiezhi.

“Elder!! Please wake up!”

“Elder! Please let go of your anger!”

“I don’t want to hear it!”

One of the hunters murmured with a tone of desperation, “I thought I had to deal with an S-grade monster, not an S-grade hunter...”

“Please help me!”

The Chinese hunters eventually asked the foreign hunters for help. They had to step up and stop Chen Xiezhi, who was screaming and running wildly.

“Um...”

“Cough...”

“!!”

Despite the situation, none of the hunters actually wanted to intervene. Firstly, it was China’s problem. Secondly, Chen Xiezhi’s attacks had just confirmed that he was still at an S-grade level, despite being old.

They would get enough rewards to live comfortably for the rest of their lives if they got hurt while fighting an S-grade monster, but they wouldn’t get any rewards for fighting an S-grade hunter, especially if that S-grade hunter had actually lost his mind.

In the end, the only person who stepped out in this situation was the one with the most upright personality among the hunters.

“Keep him from going anywhere else. I will stop him.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to go in after all the Chinese hunters die?”

The hunters from abroad swarmed and Chen Xiezhi seemed interested in Choi Yeonseung’s words.

“If you continue to act crazy, it will be difficult for us to help you. I’ll get rid of all these suspicious people, so please calm down.”

“Really? If you say you’ll get rid of them but then bring them back with you...”

“No, nothing like that. Hey, get rid of them.”

The hunters from overseas were momentarily taken aback by Choi Yeonseung’s words. The Chinese hunters were even more perplexed.

Should they listen to Choi Yeonseung or listen to the Chinese hunters, who had complete authority in China?

“I’ll clean them up.”

“It’s not that difficult. Get out of here.”

“T... This madman!”

***

Chen Xiezhi calmed down much easier than expected. He sat with a calm expression as he listened to Choi Yeonseung’s explanation.

“Right now, the torch dragon, an S-grade monster, is threatening this land. These hunters have come here to stop it.”

“I see. Did you come up with an excuse to sneak me out?”

“...Uh...”

Han Seha nodded coldly beside him.

“Yes.”

“Thank you.”

“Of course, it’s just common courtesy from a young person.”

Han Seha could be as kind as necessary in order to achieve what she wanted. Jeong Wonuk rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

“To do that, we have to kill the torch dragon!”

“I’m glad you understand.

The torch dragon wasn’t as big as the tortoise head mountain they recently fought, but it was still quite huge. What made it more terrible than the tortoise head mountain was its ability to fly around.

Countries around the world used to preventively develop plans to deal with monsters once they appeared. The plan against the torch dragon was basically...

“We have to start by tearing down the barriers around the monster.”

The other hunters nodded at Ben Nacht’s words. The torch dragon had dozens of magic barriers to protect itself. In order to damage the torch dragon itself, they had to start by destroying its shields.

“Fortunately, there is no shortage of hunters that we can mobilize.”

“We can also make use of the Chinese army’s firepower...”

“Can you trust the firepower of the Chinese army?”

“Let’s instantly retreat in case it doesn’t work.”

Some hunters murmured, but overall everyone was on board so far.

“I heard that the torch dragon’s weakness is here on the nape of the neck. Even if we tear the barriers apart, we have to get close to here...”

“It’s best to get on top. Above its head or its nape. It won’t die just from touching the reverse scale.”

The planning went well despite the hunters being of different nationalities. Firstly, given that they were facing an S-grade monster, their roles were already established. An A-grade hunter would most likely be the main raider while the rest would split up with secondary roles!

“Starting from this area, we have to drive the torch dragon toward the east. It would be good to fight there since it’s the least populated area.”

“Who will give the orders to do it? If you tell us to do it, we’ll focus on killing the monster. The factories, the world economy, and everything else will go down the drain.”

“Don’t worry. The Chinese hunters will be in charge of that.”

The Chinese government didn’t want to make the foreign hunters do anything unnecessary because they knew how terrible they would be.

Choi Yeonseung watched the Chinese hunters and troops deployed in each region and suddenly remembered something.

‘Wait... Isn’t Huang Guangao the one who signed a contract with an evil god constellation?’

China’s A-grade hunter, Huang Guangao.

According to rumors, several A-grade hunters in China were seriously injured because of the torch dragon, but he managed to walk away unscathed. It was because there was guidance from someone.

-What are you going to do?

-Umm. It would be convenient if I could just go and kill him, but...

They were in China, which meant that laying his hands on an A-grade hunter would be doubly dangerous. It would be like poking the hive.

-How about quietly stabbing him in the back while pretending to assess the situation?

-That doesn’t sound like a bad plan.

The goddess said it as a joke, but Choi Yeonseung took it seriously. There was bound to be chaos everywhere, so wouldn’t there be plenty of opportunities? Besides, his victim wouldn’t expect something like that.
