Chapter 164: Sunderbans

" Did the Captain purposefully allude the Bengal Tigers to Tianshan ones, are they similar in strength" Song Xia asked the group knocking Cao Guang out of reverie.

That's it, he was warning us, I almost forgot.

The difficulty of hunting a Tianshan Tiger on the Tianshan Sacred Mountain wasn't just about finding them or because of their overwhelming strength, because once people ventured into their territory the Tigers would find the people before they ever did.

Tigers were Apex predators in Tianshan and Sunderbans even daring to challenge the Ancient Frost Vultures or the Archaic Wind Condors respectively.

Most Hunter squads would be able to venture into the demon infested areas and avoid all kinds of Monsters Wolves, lions Undead in certain cases but there were three types of Demon beasts other than ones with tracking abilities that they couldn't hide from Tigers, Flying Creatures and Sea Monsters.

The Tiger will likely find us before we ever do, he said once we found a target that met our criteria he would only observe and report, he doesn't have to warn us. So we need to be able to recognise this Tiger in it's habitat.

Cao Guang listened into the discussion of the group for a while before speaking up " I'll go and check if some one is selling any info at the Hunter Union"

Cao Guang's plan was simple since humans had been around for so long someone had already cracked the method there was too much of a need for new ideas.

----

At a counter for information dealing in the Hunters Union.

Cao Guang was talking to a Hunter Mistress assigned to him as a Hunter Master, since the carcasses gained in Tokyo belonged to the government there was no mission he could complete, now that he had a chance Cao Guang wouldn't let it go.

" So the best way to seek out a Bengal Tiger in the forest is too use a monster called Water Monitor Lizard, their ability for surveillance in the forest will let you know where the Tiger Demon is hiding.

It's also the strategy used by the military and other experienced hunters.

The available missions let's see, there is an order for the Heart of a Bengal Demon Tiger, it has to be a commander, the reward is hundred million plus the contribution points will be more than enough for you to become a three star Hunter Master.

Should I sign you up Sir?" asked the lady who tied her hair like a bun.

" Yeah, and add these two as well" replied Cao Guang after he flashed two more Hunter badges.

Song Xia and Gao Xuan were Hunters as well but they didn't have as much free time in the army and were still only Advanced Hunters.

Cao Guang returned to his group with a definitive answer to locate the Demon Tiger and proceeded to prepare himself.

He might not have gotten any Monster corpses in Tokyo's Maritime Battlefield but he had gotten Soul Remnants and Essences.

I have no immediate need for Minion leveled ones, so let's condense them to Warrior ones.

He had gained Twenty Minion level Soul Essences and three Warriors, he converted all to the Warrior level and prepared to improve his Lightning Nebula first with Seven Soul Essences.

The seven Soul Essences he prepared flew to the centre of the Lightning Galaxy in his spiritual world as his first Seven Stardusts were strengthened again as they achieved their Fifth tier form.

He could now use the fifth tier spell of the Primary level. It would be a great control spell for dealing with hordes of demons.

A couple of days later Captain Rai rounded the group again and led them to travel alongside the military convoy.

He had assigned them under his team and registered them with the man in charge of the mission Major General Dhruv, who was also a Super Mage.

They set off on a rare mounts as the military used Green Demon Alligators as their primary mounts in the area, only they could traverse the marshes and the tree roots flexibly while handling soldiers and the luggage when venturing out to the Sunderbans.

The Alligators were shorter than most other species Cao Guang had seen however they were more bulked up and had two pairs of horns near their eyes that used in a similar way to Sonar.

Their journey would take three days atleast before they got to the Tiger infested Deep Marsh layer of the Forest.
