Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1320

Before coming here, Darren didn't expect the participants to be so evenly spread.

This arrangement was perfect for minimizing any chances of interference between the participants.

That way, they could avoid getting distracted and focus entirely on exterminating the beasts to gain points.

The duration of the hunting game was stated in the manual; it would last for about three months. Once this interval was concluded, they would all be teleported out altogether.

"Stay quick on your toes. Don't fall behind!"

In unison, Darren, Lindsay, and Finley dropped from the tree, searching for potential prey.

Fortunately, they had already scoped out the area under the light of day and knew all the populated spots where the beasts gathered.

Soon, they arrived at the place they marked.

Just as they had observed, hundreds of fierce wolves were found to be living there. Brandishing their swords, Darren and Lindsay charged towards them with the intent to kill.

In just a few moments, the once-bustling spot filled with wolves was now besmirched in blood, corpses everywhere.

The points on their killing tokens bumped to 636 in one fell swoop.

However, when Darren checked the rankings, he was left stunned.

"The first place is at 79, 600 points already?"

What was more surprising was that the tenth place was sitting comfortably in its spot, having secured 60, 000 points. This competition was speeding along at a frightening pace!

With Darren's current speed, even if he chopped down beasts without a moment's rest, he still couldn't come close to achieving a rank worth bragging over.

"What should we do? We can't compete with that..." Lindsay expressed her concerns.

"Our hunting targets are all low-level beasts. At best, they can only earn us one point. In that case, the ones currently sitting at the top have probably killed the higher level beasts. Those must be worth thousands of points because of their difficulty level," Darren surmised.

"Yeah, that makes sense. Otherwise, it's not possible to kill that many beasts in such a short time." Lindsay's face lightened up again, feeling relieved.

"We should go for a bigger target this time. Let's go kill that Dragon Blaze Bear!"

Earlier in the daytime, they had observed one of the beasts whose skin lay ablaze. It was a hybrid, with a bear head and the body of a dragon. Clueless of its origins, they named it Dragon Blaze Bear, judging by its appearance.

In terms of strength, it boasted ranks close to the Celestial God Realm. It was not to be underestimated.

Feeling pressured by the competition, they rushed in the direction they last saw it without thinking twice.

However, when they got there, they were greeted by a mess. The damaged state of land vouched for the occurrence of a battle, and the aura of the Dragon Blaze Bear was no longer felt.

As they scanned the area for answers, they witnessed a bonfire not far away, wisps of fire dancing to the rhythm of the wind. From their position, they could barely see a person sitting by it.

"Seriously? It was killed already?" Shocked at the thought, Darren couldn't help but exclaim out loud. It was hard to believe that a ferocious beast such as the Dragon Blaze Bear was bested by someone so quickly when even Darren hesitated in confronting it in combat.

There was only one person in sight around this area. If the Dragon Blaze Bear was defeated, then it must have been this person who had done it.

"You're so talented! I can't believe you killed the beast so easily!" Darren waved his hand as he exclaimed, walking towards him.

"Hey, it's you!"

the man shouted excitedly, watching Darren approach.

Sharing his surprise, Darren was taken aback to know he was the same cowardly fat man he met earlier in the day.

At this moment, the fat guy's mouth was stuffed with oil, hands occupied with holding beast meat.

"Sit down! Let's eat together." Smiling to them, the fat guy, Weber Fan, gestured them to sit, sharing his hunt.

"Thank you for the invite. But um..." Darren sat casually and asked, "What kind of meat is this? It smells amazing."

"Honestly, I'm not sure myself. I killed a really ugly bear that wandered in this area. Thankfully, its flesh smells great compared to its disappointing appearance." Once Weber finished speaking, he swallowed the meat down in a single gulp.
