The King Of Hunter
70. Disaster > Helpless

Some time after the Hunters patrolled, finally the awaited moment arrived. The enemy that had long since been hiding behind the giant tree started to react. Just one tree can cause the ground around it to shake causing a large enough earthquake. All the Hunters (35 Hunters that had gathered earlier) were already preparing in their respective places waiting for what happened to the tree. They had tried to cut down the trees before, but the results were in vain.

"So, what's in there?"

"Maybe a bunch of high-level monsters?"

"Maybe a tree that can move and attack"

"Or maybe it's an object that can weaken us?"

The Hunters begin to guess what will happen to the tree.

After a few minutes of waiting, finally their main enemy appeared. The giant tree they were waiting for turned into a statue with a large size (as big as the previous tree).

"That's... Doesn't that shape look like a monster in America? Or am I just overreacting?"

Zen said with fear

Zen tried to calm down by looking at the situation around. He thought it would make him a little calmer, but instead, he panicked. Seeing the look on the face of the other Hunter-Hunters was as panicked as he was. Even Jia Li with Rea who seemed to look the most panicked here.

"That's a lot different than the one we faced last time"

"Don't tell me the green woman turned into this skull-shaped tree?"

Rea and Jia Li started muttering indistinctly.

The two (The Hunters and the Tree Statue) froze for a while. No one launched an attack until Tez ventured to jump directly at the statue with the aim of attacking it. The other Hunters especially Jeibi tried to hold Tez, but it was in vain. He's too fast.

Krakkk

"I succeeded..hehehe did I succeed?!"

Tez doesn't believe what he's doing right now

With bold capital he immediately jumped to attack, ignoring fear and only focused on attacking (yes indeed the Assassin's task is that ). And he managed to tear off the foot of the statue (although the attack was not too deep), Tez was sure that this would be an easy battle because the enemy did not dodge at all when he attacked.

Seeing Tez attacking alone, eventually all the Hunters decided to attack the Statue directly 'also'. Seeing that their opponents had no resistance, each Hunter began to think the same as Tez. But it only lasted a little while.

"Did you see it?"

"I saw a little"

"The inside of the statue..."

"Yes, I don't know why that happened. But it can be ascertained, the inside of the Statue is 'Stone' ".

The statue was still motionless, just standing still without doing anything. The Hunters then tried to devise a plan as quickly as possible before the Statue attacked, if he had started attacking, no idea what would happen to this island. With their panic in making a plan. There was one Hunter who had never been involved in the drafting of the plan before, he was Tez.

Others already knew very well what Tez was like, but at this time, they saw something unusual. How can Hunter be as strong as Tez and as arrogant as Tez right now, piss dicelana.

Although actually it is a thing that can be a laughing stock, but there is only the opposite. Even in front of the angry Rea, Tez was not up to this. It meant that he was terrified after seeing something.

Rea looked at Tez's eyes

'What made Tez up to such fear'

A moment after seeing what Tez saw, Rea stopped moving and remained silent while looking up among the Hunter who was busy discussing. Even Rea dropped his sword and started to tear.

"Rea, what's going on?"

Deimos said worry and fear

The Hunters who had been focusing on Rea dropping the weapon, were currently starting to look up out of curiosity.

"We're going to die"

Rea said with resignation

Other hunters also think the same after seeing other trees turned into statues 'also' although in different forms. And every one of those statues, showed a terrible smile.
