BXBX NOVEL Chapter 101
Because of repeated archery training Dudian had rapid growth in terms of control and accuracy of shots. Almost every arrow could hit the target while seven out of ten arrows would nail the heart of the target. For an ordinary person to achieve this result, at least three to five years of hard training was needed. But because of Dudian’s hunter physique it was completed rapidly in about two months of time.
In addition to precision, every arrow shot by him penetrated the target. The lethality of the arrows had improved significantly, but his aligned shooting hasn’t had the slightest progress. When the young instructor was aware of his progress in aligned shooting he had gone crazy.
“Do you think that just because you have magic marks you are fit to be a hunter? Your performance outside the giant wall will be nothing but a bit better than some of the scavengers. You would be able to kill low-level monsters only!” Young instructor angrily announced ” Since you are lazy like and can’t even learn aligned shoot then from tomorrow on your basic archery tasks would increase a lot!”
Dudian thought: “Is this what he means by hellish punishment?” He didn’t think that the youth will just increase his daily task of basic archery practice. His heart was in joy and it was revealed a little in his face. His ‘indifferent’ look made the young instructor to go crazy in anger.
Thus, the young instructor raised Dudian’s daily number of arrows to be shot to 2200 in the next month! In his view, it was beyond the physical limits of Dudian, would overload and break him at some point. He thought that Dudian wouldn’t be able to reach the tasks given by him and won’t be able to eat dinner by the appointed time.
So he thought that Dudian will fall into a vicious circle. Because according to young instructor, Dudian would have to overwork himself to reach the daily tasks and at some point his willpower wouldn’t be enough to continue on.
It was the purpose of the young instructor. Actually because of the interests of consortium the style of the punishment were a bit childish in comparison to Tobu’s punishments.
Dudian’s archery has long reached the level of two thousand eight hundred arrows so he had already passed the ‘high standard’ of the young instructor. That’s why he continued to immerse himself to get insights about archery.

World outside the giant wall. Mellon Foundation. Area no 1.
In comparison to the other areas under the control of Mellon consortium, you wouldn’t be able to see buildings, metal wreckage and others in the area no 1. It was an extremely open area just like a vast wilderness. Occasionally trace of the collapsed highways could be seen. Everything was dilapidated and covered in moss and dust. There was an indication that at some point in history it was an urban area.
Only, you wouldn’t be able to see a complete building in the area.
Gravel and blood was everywhere. Rain had washed the blood into every corner of the crevice. After it had dried up natural and wonderful patterns colored in blood red had branded the earth and structures around.
At the moment, near of ruin of a wall, five shadows appeared. They were quiet as they checked the street through the broken remnants of the wall. On the street there were two, half a foot deep, dent on the ground. Next to the dent there was a lump of dark dirt which exuded a strong pungent odor. After a closer look they saw some remnants of bones as well as corroded metal in the dark dirt.
One of the five quietly stepped forward and picked up a stone and lightly poked at the dirt. He went back and whispered: “It hasn’t dried up yet, most probably it has left for no more than two hours.”
“Chase.”
One of them ordered.
Five people of them quickly and quietly began to catch up with the huge dents along the ground.
A quarter of an hour later, one of them suddenly made an anxious gesture and signaled them to stop.
The man spoke in low but dignified tone: “I smell it. Three o’clock direction. About eight kilometers away from us.”
“Well, you prepare and ambush in the back and the four of us will take it on.” Leader’s eye shone in excitement.
Previous man nodded but his face suddenly changed as he said:”No! Fast hide -”
puff!
Claws penetrate from the ground where they were standing and pierced the vests of few of them.

In the castle at the Hunter headquarters.
Black crow flew in through the window and dropped an envelope which fell on to the desktop.
A maid was serving the afternoon tea to the man behind the desk. He saw the red mark on the left corner of the envelope and quickly opened it.
“A ‘black weaver’ have appeared in area no1 and killed three hunters?” His face changed as he read through the contents of the intelligence. “Sixth team was tracking a ‘mountain lion’ while they were sneak attacked by a ‘black weaver’. Only the captain and another member escaped. They are seriously injured… ”
He got another paper and wrote few things on it. As soon as he finished the letter, he put it into an envelope and hang on black crow’s feet. He touched the crow as he said: “To Glenn.”
Black crow twitched and shook off its wings as it flew from the window.

Hunter training ground.
Dudian was training as usual. His precision was get more and more acute. Even he wanted to find some moving target to practice.
It was almost noon mean time when young instructor all of sudden hurriedly came to the training ground to find Dudian. He handed him an envelope: “This is an order from the consortium. There is an emergency situation outside the giant wall. There is temporary lack of free hunters and you have the super small ability form juranzhi so consortium wants you go with the team to outside and implement the urgent task. Hurry to prepare!”
Dudian could not help but stop as he was stunned, “But I’m still in training period.”
“This is an emergency call. As long as you are implementing other tasks outside the giant wall, you have to put off all the work at hand and respond to consortium’s call!” Young instructor spoke very fast: “Your hunter arrow has been ordered and will be ready by the time we reach the place. Quickly stop so that you don’t consume physical strength. Let’s go as someone will come to pick you up at the wall.”
“That quick?” Dudian also quickly put down the bow, no longer wasting energy, “Aren’t there any other hunters who are resting now?”
“Other hunters either recuperate or are injured. If there was anyone else available the headquarters will not send you to this dangerous place. ” Young instructor urged: “Quick!”
