Catastrophe Card King

Oftentimes,

It’s not that the lower class people aren’t afraid of death.

It’s just that they have no choice.

At this moment, a guy suddenly spoke up, asking the oldest one in the team, “Elder… why do you look like the legendary ‘Dog King’?”

Leonard Churchill also looked over in curiosity.

The reason this team seemed to be made up of the “old and infirm” was this toothless old man, who represented the “old” part.

He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with dark skin, missing a front tooth. When he laughed, the wind would rush through the gap where his tooth should be, which was particularly sleazy.

His look was quite distinctive.

The old man didn’t seem to mind being called Dog King. On the contrary, he was quite pleased to be recognized and laughed heartily, “It’s just a false reputation, not worth mentioning.”

Upon hearing this, the man exclaimed, “Is it really you, the old man? Didn’t you say you went to the Alternate Dimension’s Slaughter Mode last time, and you haven’t died yet?”

The old man patted his chest, looking modest but with a bragging tone, “It’s all due to luck. Just luck.”

With that, many people recognized this “legendary character”.

Even Leonard Churchill looked somewhat odd.

Because he had also heard of it.

Many interesting stories are circulating in the hunter circles.

But because the death rate of hunters is very high, many stories only circulate for a while.

Yet, within Sinless City’s hunter circles, a legendary tale has persisted for many years.

There was an old hunter missing a tooth, whose surname was Xu.

This guy, with various incredible survival skills, could always survive till the end in various alternate dimensions.

His usual method was to avoid all dangerous missions, let his teammates clear the level, and then he would collect a minimum reward and exit.

At first, the hunters scoffed at him.

Because every time he just collected the minimum reward, it was only worth a few thousand.

It was a complete waste of time.

However, as the years went by, almost all those who scoffed at him were no longer alive.

But this old man was still alive.

It was then that everyone realized, this old man truly understood the hunter profession.

Being alive is the mark of a true master.

Even if you get the Supreme Treasure after clearing Mission A this time,

If you die the next time, you will lose everything.

The old man had outlived most hunters in Sinless City, and that was his true skill.

Later on, a legend about the “Dog King” gradually emerged in the world of hunters.

But many people become hunters for quick gratification.

To get rich quick, and then live in a dream.

One day at a time.

Although most hunters know about the Dog King’s survival methods, they usually just laugh it off and no one really imitates him.

In fact, even though Elder Xu doesn’t die, he has always been poor.

He often runs up tabs at the taverns; that’s how poor he is.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t come here to earn this desperate money.

People were joking and asking the old man about his survival tricks.

The old man was not stingy, offering tips like, “Cover yourself with monster feces, the smell can confuse monsters”, “Playing dead in a pile of corpses is a must-have skill”, “Lying in coffins found in graves”, “Burying your head between your legs can make you unnoticed by majority of Evil Spirits”…

And you know what,

Sleazy or not,

these survival tips seemed plausible.

Everyone laughed heartily.

Leonard Churchill was also amused.

But he glanced an extra time at the young man next to the old man.

This young man represented the “young” element in the group.

He looked like the old man’s grandchild.

He was very young, about fourteen or fifteen. Although he was wearing a gas mask, his sharp eyebrows and eagle eyes indicated a vigor completely different from the old man’s half-body-in-the-coffin vibe.

He never said a word.

Hunters this young were rare.

Leonard Churchill did not understand why this old man would bring such a young boy in?

But before Leonard Churchill even finished the piece of black bread in his hand, he suddenly froze: “It’s too quiet…”

After advancing, his crisis perception ability had strengthened significantly.

He scanned the surrounding woods and finally noticed the anomaly.

When they passed by just now, they at least saw some small creatures like red-eyed bats.

Now, it was eerily quiet!

After observing for a while, he still couldn’t discern the source of danger.

Leonard hadn’t forgotten that this was the highly deadly War Mode, so he tried to keep himself even better hidden.

Just as he was having this thought.

There was a faint sound of something rushing through the air.

Without any warning, an arrow with black glow shot through the air.

Before anyone could react, the arrow pierced through the head of the guy who was laughing loudly just a moment ago.

An arrow through the head!
