Chapter 41: Newly Promoted Bounty Hunter

The long night slowly passed, the night sky slowly receded, until the first light appeared on the horizon.

Feng Yan yawned, stretched, sunlight shone on Feng Yan, Feng Yan looked at the sun on the horizon and said: "Morning sunlight always can glare into your eyes, but why in the evening can you directly gaze at the sunset?"

As the sun slowly rose, the sky gradually became bright, dispelling darkness, allowing those in darkness to see light, also letting people see hope, light illuminated people's hearts, making people feel warm inside; the dwarf in the cage looked at the bloody night of his killed companion from yesterday, that was the only thing he had left; the dwarves firmly believed their god would surely return! To protect them again, the people of the savior class would surely come; the white-bearded chief of the dwarf tribe gazed at a ray of sunlight shining into the laboratory, saying: "I hope that day comes soon."

The king got up early in the morning, made an embracing gesture toward these golden sunlights, and enjoyed the morning sunlight.

Yang Xin looked at the king's behavior before him, feeling very puzzled, thus asked the prince: "Your Highness Prince, what is the king doing?"

"Embracing sunlight, he thinks the golden sunlight is the same as that gold!" the prince replied, his expression very angry; it seems that for the prince, this is undoubtedly a great disgrace, after all, how to say, he is also a son of a nation, ……!

Seeing the prince's expression, Yang Xin laughed, and then said to the prince: "I heard something, Your Highness Prince, would you like to listen?"

The prince grew impatient, saying: "Speak quickly!"

"I have heard that the adventurer Feng Yan and Chen Hao come to every country for each country's treasures; so far they have obtained Lilliputian Kingdom's strongest weapon and Ju Ren Guo's wealth; now they have come to Li Kingdom, surely not for its wealth?" Yang Xin briefly told the prince about Feng Yan's previous deeds, hoping thereby to find a way to deal with Feng Yan and Chen Hao.

The Prince of Li Kingdom fell into contemplation, then said: "To deal with them, it's impossible for the soldiers inside the Wanggong; that organization, however, could still manage."

Yang Xin seemed to understand something, saying: "Bounty Hunter!"

"Are we going to the bounty hunter's turf today?" Chen Hao asked Feng Yan.

Chen Hao, while shouldering his marching pack and checking the gold in his pack, answered Chen Hao's words: "We must do this; if Yang Xin goes to Li Kingdom's treasure, our situation would be very disadvantageous; if it were far away it'd be fine, but it's right beside us, so we must go check out the bounty hunter's place!"

Wang You saw Feng Yan with his pack on his back and asked: "Where are you guys going?"

Feng Yan and Chen Hao had already prepared to leave; hearing the sound behind them, they turned back and saw Wang You saying: "It's fine, we're just going to the bounty hunter's lair for a trip; don't worry, we'll be back soon, remember to leave us something to eat!"

Wang You knew she couldn't persuade the two men in front of her, then she nodded and said: "Then make it quick, don't let the food get cold."

After hearing that, the two turned back again, indicating they had left; Wang You watched the two's receding backs, feeling worry rise in her heart. At this moment, the dwarf also stood up, looked at the slowly rising sun, and said: "The two benefactors will surely be fine!"

Wang You looked at the dwarf before her and nodded.

Gold bricks and jade tiles, everywhere in Li Kingdom is like this; as the morning sun slowly rises, the light slowly begins to reflect; Feng Yan and Chen Hao have no choice but to shield their eyes from the sun, slowly continuing forward, while walking they silently cursed: "Who designed this bastard? It's literally a death trap—does this person just love being blinded by gold? I'm really impressed; there really are such people in the world, and they actually use these glare-inducing things to make commoners' courtyard walls!"

Although already accustomed to this country, Feng Yan still couldn't help looking around; although he said he was always being flashed by these lights into his eyes, aren't there also many people who want these things?

Chen Hao looked at Feng Yan constantly looking around, feeling some worry, and asked: "Aren't you worried we might run into real-world problems?"

"Worried, how could I not be worried? But worrying is useless; it's not like worrying can instantly bring us back to reality, so to speak, since we're here we should make the best of it; rather than that, we should properly enjoy this side's game; when the game ends, we'll naturally go back." Feng Yan answered Chen Hao.

"We've arrived!" Feng Yan stopped his steps and said.

"Is this the bounty hunter's residence?" Chen Hao looked at this place and asked doubtfully.

The two stood before that huge house; although the house was very large, it was extremely dilapidated; although it had previously been plated with thin gold, years of wind and rain have made the house reveal its true appearance; the house's bricks and tiles are overgrown with moss, as if long neglected; cheering sounds came from inside; if listened closely, there might also be some people selling chickens, they leading different-colored chickens; the chicken keepers, facing the residents inside—the bounty hunters—introduce their looks, while hoping they can stay there, and themselves also obtain a substantial amount of gold.

Inside the building, cheering sounds continuously came; Feng Yan and Chen Hao were very curious and entered. At this moment, Feng Yan discovered that although the building appeared dilapidated from outside, once inside it was quite another scene: it was very spacious, seeing the people inside slowly opening the dark windows, light slowly entered, and the venue also gradually became bright; at this moment Feng Yan saw clearly that below there was a lion and a man!

At this moment a voice sounded: "This person is applying to join the bounty hunters as a new member; according to the rules, new members must pass a trial to become bounty hunters; then the lion before us, as long as this man endures for one minute, he will count as a new bounty hunter!"

Accompanied by the audience's shouts, the person below opened the lock on the cage, the iron gate slowly opened, the lion slowly walked out of the cage; then a man and a master, they faced each other while circling the arena, hoping to find each other's weaknesses and land a fatal blow.

"Roar!" The lion leapt into mid-air to attack that man; that roar made the people on the spectator stand break out in cold sweat behind them, not daring to look up; after a while, the people on the stage saw that man unharmed standing on the stage, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Yan and Chen Hao watched the fight between the man and the lion before them; Feng Yan said: "The person before us still has a bit of tricks up his sleeve, but I think these people aren't sincerely letting him join the prize money lovely person's organization, because it's already been two minutes."

"That means, between the lion and the person, only one can leave alive." Chen Hao replied, he understood something, and continued to watch below.

The man dodged the lion's attack, his whole body breaking out in cold sweat; although the previous attack was dodged, he didn't know the direction of the next attack; this was the lion launching another attack; this time the man failed to dodge, the claw scratched his chest, drawing red blood that dripped drop by drop onto the ground; the man covered his chest, inwardly shouting: "Not good, my chest was torn apart by the beast! The beast, seeing blood, became even more frenzied!"

The man saw that time had passed, but the people inside the arena were still cheering; then a dagger was thrown down from above, directly stuck in the ground not far away; the man realized one thing: in this arena, only one person can get out—either that beast or himself!

The man directly ran toward the dagger's direction; the lion directly let out a loud roar and chased after him; seeing his hand about to reach the dagger, the lion leapt again, directly lunging onto the man; the man was pressed to the ground, the lion's body pinned him; the lion opened its huge mouth, revealing sharp teeth aimed at the man's neck; the man hastily pulled out his left arm to block; the lion bit the man's arm, then made a sound of bones breaking; the man endured the pain, with his other arm grabbed the dagger, aimed at the lion's neck, and thrust it in hard; the lion felt pain, released its grip, then stared again at the man's neck, but the man gave the lion no chance, mustering all his strength to stab the lion's neck; the lion initially resisted, but its strength gradually weakened, it remained motionless, appearing dead.

That person struggled to rise, using his right hand to cover the wound on his left arm; the person in charge of the venue slowly walked over, then began to clean up the bloodstains on the scene.

That voice sounded again: "Now you can accept the bounty hunter's first mission!"

At this moment, Feng Yan and Chen Hao walked down and said: "New bounty hunter?"

The man nodded and said: "Yes, I am Jin Meng."

Feng Yan directly threw a gold brick to the person above and said: "We'll talk about it when we go back; I'll tell you about the task later."
