Omega Summoner

Chapter 380: Hunting with Werewolves

Three days have passed in-game time as Adrian did not log-in yesterday due to being center of attraction in the party yesterday. He finally returned into the game with his sister. Lycan did not do much yesterday because he was chatting with Adrianʼs sister.

Lycan followed the hooded individual that wanted to talk to Adrian, but he lost the individual in the forest. He also got the feeling that the hooded individual knew that he or she is being followed because he or she often looked back while Lycan was trailing her.

”If she disappeared into the forest then that would mean he or she would be more likely to be part of that other alphaʼs faction.” Solstice surmised.

”The hooded individual did not come back to the inn though, so we are not sure about that. They might also be an acquaintance of the one we got the hair strand from.” Lycan stated.

”They could have returned to the inn in a different attire, so you never know. If that hooded individual is still looking for me then they would once again try to get my attention when we go out.” Adrian stated.

Adrian once again cast Soul Form Transformation on the two that will aid him in the mission. They decided to join the hunt that the three werewolves would undergo. They went down the inn, but no one tried to talk to Adrian as they hoped which means the hooded individual could have been an acquaintance of the person that they borrowed the face from.

”It could just mean they are having a meeting today thus that hooded individual is not present. They could also be participating in the hunt. We need to hurry as you have a much higher chance of being recruited if you participate in the hunt.” Solstice stated and everyone is in agreement.

Adrian walked towards the Adventurers Guild without any disturbance. When he reached the Adventurers Guild, he happened upon the three werewolves fully armed. He greeted them politely as he is the youngest one there.

”Oh! Are you here to join the hunt, young lad?” Rollin asked with enthusiasm.

”If you can have me then that would be much appreciated.” Adrian replied amicably.

”Yahaha! Of course, a young one like you needs to be guided properly so that you can grow up into a proper man. Jut stick with us for a while and then you would have enough money to spend for the month.” Rollin stated excitedly.

”If you are not bothered to have me then I am sorry for the intrusion.” Adrian stated as he bowed deeply.

”You will be our porter though but that does not mean that you would always be safe as you know that monsters are unpredictable. Do you have a weapon?” Amoux stated as he wanted Adrian to be prepared if something unexpected happens.

”I use these daggers with me as a weapon and do not worry as I will prioritize escape first if I am in danger of dying.” Adrian stated.

”Then we are all set. Lowe give the young lad your bag as we would be able to hunt more if you participate.” Rollin commanded and Lowe gave his bag to Adrian.

The bag that Adrian got was an ordinary large leather bag that is surprisingly enchanted with preservation magic. The temperature in the bag is about 15 degree Celsius so that the meat does not go bad even if they take all day to hunt.

”What are we hunting anyway?” Adrian asked as he was curious.

”We are going to hunt the Fanged Deer as it will be the meat used in the festival two days later.” Amoux stated as they walked towards the forest.

”Fanged Deer are very tasty but difficult to hunt due to their speed and elusiveness. It also cannot be cornered easily as it is the type of monster that will fight to the death if that is its only choice.” Rollin added.

Adrian could see that Rollin and the others are higher in level compared to the village NPCs because they were in the 130s. The fanged deer that they will hunt is in the same level range as Adrian could remember it due to him wanting a deer soulbound but not many are noted in books.

They entered the forest quietly as the fanged deer is very perceptive of its surroundings. A small rustle could immediately startle it if they are not careful. The fanged deer is not just a deer with fangs but a four-meter-tall deer with fangs that are two feet in length that also serves as heat sensors.

It has been two hours since they entered the forest and there were still no signs of the fanged deer. What they did hear is another group fighting what appears to be a Wild Cat.

”It is them again. Why do they choose to train those brainwashed kids here near our forest!” Rollin stated with anger.

”Let us go, young lad. You better not allow yourself to be brainwashed by them as we know you are a fledgling wolf yourself. They might woe you with sweet words like avenging your parents and such but do not listen to them. They are only leading the young generation of werewolves in a ditch.” Amoux warned Adrian and it seems that they really perceive Adrian as a werewolf.

Upon hearing what Amoux said, Solstice decided to stay and watch over the other party. Lycan decided to accompany his girlfriend as Adrian would be fine by himself anyway. They could also warn Adrian if the other party will be heading towards Adrianʼs location.

”What do you guys mean when not become like them? Do you guys know what happened to some of them when they joined that group” Adrian asked as they once again continued their search for the fanged deer.

The three werewolves looked at each other before speaking the truth.

”Apparently there is another alpha that is not happy with the state that the werewolves are in. He used the unrest that the young werewolves are feeling to join his cause. Which is why whatever flowery words that they are using, you must never fall for them.” Rollin warned.
