Jacob has been on the bull hunt for over two weeks now, but he had no luck.
However, it doesn't mean he hasn't hunted any prey in these fourteen days. He had already collected two uncommon hearts and eaten many uncommon animals of the same species.
But he could feel the progress was quite slow, and he probably reached 15% compatibility with his heart yet.
Nevertheless, his hunger wasn't increasing, so this was a plus and he mused this way he might reach a 100% compatible rate with his heart in three or four months.
Three more days pass and Jacob was going deeper within the rainy mountains where uncommon animals were abundant. But he still has found no trace of that bull or they were all washed away because of the rain.
But it matters not to him as he continues forward.
However, on this particular day, Jacob's ears perked when he noticed footsteps that didn't belong to animals, and he could tell they were coming from someone on two feet.
He quickly jumped on a tree and hide.
Thereupon, a man appeared in an extremely sorry state.
Jacob noticed the wood on his left shoulder, which was like he was stabled by a thick drill!
'The bullhorns!' He quickly thought of those massive bullhorns and he felt excited.
However, before he could act, his expression changed slightly and he remained static in his position.
Thereupon, three clocked figures appeared before that wounded man. They were extremely quick. Even Jacob only noticed them when they were ten meters away from this place.
That wounded man was started, but when that man saw they were not wild animals, he nearly cried in joy and relief.
The next moment, his eyes roll upward as he lost consciousness.
One of the cloaked figures spoke. "It seemed he's extremely exhausted, so the moment he saw us that exhaustion washed over him, and now we can't question him."
Another voice feminine voice rang, "Heh, we don't need him anyway, right Captain?"
The cloaked figure, who was two-meter-tall, spoke in a deep voice, "No, we need to know how that bull escaped, or this person was with the group who interfere with the cargo and then failed to keep it. Most importantly, we need to know if someone has the letter! Awake him."
The female nodded, "I was waiting for you to say it." there was a hint of wicked elation in her voice.
Suddenly, a handgun appeared in her hand. She pointed it toward the unconscious man's crotch and pull the trigger!
'Bang!'
Just as the gunshot voice rang, the unconscious man's eyes sprang open, filled with extreme agony as his screams filled the area!
The captain crouched in front of that man's agonized face and coldly said, "If you want the pain to go away, tell me where do you get that wound?"
The man seemed to not hear him at all.
The other man said at this moment, "He's in hyperbolic shock. I don't think he can talk."
The captain waited for a moment before his hand suddenly blurred and he stood up.
But the man has stopped screaming, and there was a finger hole in the man's forehead right now. A drop of blood fell on the ground from that cloaked figure.
"How fast." The woman seemed to click her tongue in wonder as she admired that clean kill.
The captain said, "It seemed we won't be able to know for now what happened. At least our dinner is arranged."
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I eat the human flesh." The female spoke with ecstasy and she took out a knife.
Jacob saw all that inhuman scene from the tree not far away. But he remained stoic without feeling anything and all this focus was on those three.
'That captain fellow is probably a B-rank or somewhere close to it. Their skin color is also like those hob trolls I killed, which means they are from the same organization and also searching for the tiger bull. And they had some means to track it down. I should follow them,' Jacob mused.
Those three cloaked figures fed on that dead human, and then they moved.
But they had no idea Jacob was following them from a distance.
Jacob also saw a device like a mobile phone and a red blinking dot could be seen on it and an arrow.
'So, they put a tracker inside that bull's body? It seemed I have to treat this world like my own. They had everything. It's just that humans don't, so I can't keep seeing everything from their perspective anymore.
'Well, it's also a good thing that I ran away or they might've caught me off guard when I was in my vulnerable state. But now… heh.' Jacob coldly smiled.
Jacob followed that group for three days. He found out they won't talk with each other much and only used signals sometime or small commands. They were extremely careful to not reveal anything about their background.
'Mooooowwwwww…'
They all heard this ghastly roar at this moment and everything thought of the same thing.
'Tiger Bull!'
It was only fifty meters away from their current location.
The captain signaled them with a hand and those two quickly go in a different direction and moved in.
Jacob was already hiding within the trees, with no intention of joining them. He wanted to see their strength, even though he had some idea where they stand.
But he was still going to enjoy the show.
Those three slowly moved in with silent steps and halted.
Just ten meters away from their position lay a crimson bull with tiger-like white straps around its body and a pair of crimson bullhorns.
That tiger bull was munching on a big leopard, which he probably just slaughtered.
The captain again signal and the other two took out their firearms. He held a silver axe in his one hand and an action pump in the other.
He suddenly charged at full speed as he roared,
"Attack!"
