Chapter 523 - 355: Confirmation (Part 3)
Speaking of hunting, Malin could now easily take on a guest appearance as a native hunter in this world without any issues.
After all, he now had four World Tree Saplings, a litter of leopards and a bear—any one of them could easily suppress the combat pets of those hunters.
As for Tech Hunters, they need not even be mentioned, for they were actually Transcendents rather than native professions, usually lacking combat pets. Even if they did have a side job, they would prefer scouting pets over combat ones due to the nature of their secondary occupation.
But Malin was different. Not to mention the extraordinary existence of the World Tree Saplings, Spotty was a very standard combat pet, capable of both fighting and scouting.
However, the human world’s hunters had declined, and it had been a long time since a high-level human hunter had emerged. Hunters were typically chosen by Dwarves, and although Elves had Rangers, their system was not the same as that of the hunters. Rangers had Spell Formations, while hunters relied more on their bows and firearms.
Then, Tech Hunters could make better use of firearms, and in adventures in the Dark Zone, combat pets became very vulnerable in the face of Chaos, mechanical bodies, and zombies, making it very awkward for hunters.
That’s also why the native profession of human hunters was in decline.
However, there was still a legacy, as the Ranger’s Guild in the human world generally maintained the legacy of the hunter profession.
So when Moriti’s second son, along with his family and a large pack of hunting dogs, joined Malin’s hunting party, his dogs had no temper left when faced with Spotty and the reserve rations.
At first, when the hunting dogs saw Spotty with her cubs, they dared to semi-circlingly demonstrate their force, but once the reserve rations stood before them, they lost all courage—the hunting dogs weren’t stupid; with the reserve rations protecting the cubs, Spotty could use her power as a Spirit to devour them whole.
If Spotty had been a wild Spirit, the dogs might have had the courage to fight back against her attack, but as Spotty stood by humans just like them, the training of the hunting dogs led them to choose peace over conflict.
