Hell's Handbook

Chapter 301: The Hunter And The Hunted

Chapter 301: The Hunter And The Hunted

Chu Yi felt like his heart had just been crushed. He didnt expect Wu Chen to die just like that. Wu Chen had been so confident just moments ago. But the clown was the Handbook in human form after all. Wu Chen didnt even get the chance to speak and was blown to pieces.

The thought of taking revenge didnt cross Chu Yis mind at all. The difference in prowess between himself and the clown was way too great. If he tried to take revenge, he wouldnt be considered a loyal friend or a brave person. Hed be considered a fool for basically walking into a death trap.

Chu Yi gnashed his teeth. He swallowed the second pill and ran quickly toward the entrance of the hospital. His comrade had died, but he had to keep living.

But immediately after Chu Yi stepped out of the hospital, he couldnt help but shudder. He turned back to see the clown giving him a very strange smile.

He didnt dare to think too much about it and ran as fast as he could. The clown didnt chase after him, turning back to walk leisurely around the hospital as though nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, in a different part of the island, Situ Jin was vomiting like crazy, while Bo Ya was punching him in the stomach with a pained look on her face. The consecutive punches made Situ Jin puke so hard, he was beginning to puke bile, but Bo Ya didnt stop.

Jin! Bo Ya looked like she really didnt want to keep punching him, but Situ Jin motioned to her to continue.

Bo Ya had no choice but to punch him even harder, and Situ Jin finally spat a black object out. Immediately after it flew out of his mouth, Situ Jin and Bo Ya leaped back as though they had been electrocuted. After the black object landed, it spun around and came flying toward Situ Jin again.

Thankfully, Bo Ya reacted quickly enough. She grabbed hold of a tree branch and whacked it aside. The black object seemed to have lost all its energy after it landed. They were able to take a closer look at it now. It was actually a bug of sorts that looked like a tadpole, except with a huge mouth filled with sharp teeth.

The half-dead bug writhed a few times, and the water in its body dried up rapidly. It took only a few seconds for it to turn into an empty shell that was no longer a threat.

Cough! Cough! Situ Jin was pale and looked weak. Even though his body was quite strong, he had just gone through a good beating, so he felt like he was about to collapse. He squatted down and looked like he was about to die.

Jin! Are you alright? asked Bo Ya worriedly.

Situ Jin waved his hand and said to Bo Ya with a tired smile, Bo Ya, Im so glad you go to the gym regularly. Otherwise I really wouldnt have been able to get this bug out of me.

Bo Yas face was all red. She felt a little embarrassed to be capable of such violence despite being a woman.

But Situ Jin was complimenting her sincerely. He exhaled deeply and felt much better. He and Bo Ya had been very thirsty and hungry earlier, so they were looking around for some edible fruit. Most importantly, he noticed another creature eating this fruit.

To his horror, after he had already taken a bite, that creature howled in pain and died in no time. A bug like the one that flew out of him came crawling out from the creatures mouth, which horrified Situ Jin. That was why he immediately told Bo Ya to punch his stomach repeatedly.

The Island of Mistakes is really filled with dangers! Situ Jin sighed as he shook his head. He was so glad that he managed to spit that thing out. Nobody expected a fruit to turn into a bug in their stomach.

Im really hungry now though Bo Ya felt a little bad bringing this up now, but she was really hungry. It had been nearly a day since they had arrived on this island, and they were on high alert at all times. That really took its toll on the body.

Situ Jin nodded. He walked over to the dead creature and cut a bit of its flesh off. The two of them had picked up some knives while going through the haunted house and they could be put to good use now.

Starting a fire wasnt a problem. There were plenty of ways to start a fire in the wild. Situ Jin piled up some dried-up plants, then started a fire with a flint before setting up a barbeque.

Bo Ya was initially a little revolted by the creatures flesh, because the creature looked really gross. It looked like a collection of tumors. But she wasnt someone who couldnt adapt. She was already fortunate that there was something to eat on this accursed island.

Even though the flesh of the creature looked really weird, it was actually quite delicious. The two of them quickly forgot what the creature originally looked like and continued eating it in large chunks in order to restore their energy levels to their maximum.

After a short rest, Bo Ya said to Situ Jin, Will everyone really head for the beach?

Im sure of it. Under such circumstances, if everyone wants to gather together, theres no other way. The beach will be the only choice. Su Jin would definitely think of it, Mai and Ye Yun are both clever women, and you definitely wont have to worry about Wu Chen. The only one who might not go along with this logic would be Chu Yi. Situ Jin sighed as he talked about Chu Yi.

Ive not had much interaction with Chu Yi, but Su Jin says that hes the strongest in the team besides himself. Is he stronger than you? asked Bo Ya curiously. She was certain that Su Jin was, without a doubt, the strongest in the team. But Situ Jin was strong too could he really be weaker than Chu Yi?

Situ Jin nodded without hesitation. He recalled how Chu Yi had beaten him to a pulp while they trained in the Team Hell Domain and still felt a little traumatized from it. But he had to admit that Chu Yi was truly very strong. Even Su Jin had said so before when it came to martial arts and physical fights, Chu Yi was definitely the best in the team.

Chu Yi doesnt use weapons and doesnt need equipment because hes been honing his martial arts skills all this time. Such a person might not be very useful in a lot of circumstances, but when it comes to just fighting with his bare hands and body, hed be way more terrifying than anybody else, said Situ Jin.

Then you dont have to worry about him anymore. Such a person wouldnt die so easily, said Bo Ya with a chuckle. Situ Jin realized that Bo Ya was actually trying to comfort him.

He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a noise. He immediately leaped up and narrowed his eyes as he scanned his surroundings.

Bam! Before he could find his target, a roughly made wooden boomerang came flying toward him. But he was very focused, so he moved slightly to the side and managed to catch hold of the boomerang.

Then, five figures appeared from five different directions. Bo Ya immediately moved closer to Situ Jin and they stood with their backs facing each other.

The five people did not immediately launch an attack and just surrounded the couple. Situ Jin then realized that these five people werent strange creatures of the land. They were owners who had been sent to this island like themselves.

Whats going on? asked Situ Jin in a frosty voice.

Is it very difficult to understand? We want points and there are two of you here! The leader of the group had long, wavy hair, and the knife wound on his face looked like a fairly recent one. It also made him look really aggressive.

Situ Jin scanned the five of them. Nobody had extra powers from the Handbook, so it wasnt a problem for the two of them to fight these five. They were from the Department of Supernatural Affairs, after all. In order to deal with some really nasty criminals, they were both very well trained in fighting. Without the training Chu Yi had from the Handbook, he wouldnt be able to defeat Bo Ya for sure.

Were all owners, so it would be best to join forces and survive for three days, dont you think? said Situ Jin in a grim voice.

Im really sorry, but if you had said this to me at the start, I might have agreed with you. But now weve lost someone we cant afford to, so we have to kill you two now, said the leader as he shook his head.

Situ Jin frowned and said, You have five people? If all of you need points, killing us both wouldnt be enough for you to share.

Hoho, you can forget about trying to talk us out of this. The five of us belong to two different teams and weve already agreed to split everything we get in half. Thats fair, isnt it? said the leader with a smile.

Situ Jin didnt know what else to do. The island itself was already filled with more than enough dangers, and now, he had to deal with owners trying to kill each other. He whispered to Bo Ya, Be careful, just kill them.

Bo Ya nodded. The five intruders knew immediately what the two of them must have said to one another, so the leader gave a signal, and they charged toward the couple in the middle at almost the same time.

Situ Jin and Bo Ya leaped away from each other. If the five of them attacked them like this, it would place too much pressure on them. It was better to split the group and fight two or three people each instead.

The leader and two others charged at Situ Jin, while the other two charged at Bo Ya. Situ Jin threw the boomerang in his hand out, which was something he had been an expert at since he was a child. The boomerang hit one of his attackers in the shoulder and caused him to be badly hurt.

Situ Jin seized this chance to quickly charge toward the three coming for him. He had a knife in hand, so he was a real threat now. As long as he could find a good opportunity, it wouldnt take him long to kill three people.

And the result turned out as Situ Jin had hoped. Immediately after he charged at them, the leader instinctively took a step backward, but the other uninjured one did not step back in time, crashing into Situ Jin and allowing Situ Jin to stab his knife straight into his heart.

The man didnt even struggle. He collapsed and started writhing immediately. He wasnt going to make it.

Situ Jin did not hesitate and ran toward the one who was already injured by the boomerang. He was already injured, so his face paled when he saw Situ Jin coming for him.

He swung his knife horizontally and sliced his opponent across the throat. The injured man clutched his throat and collapsed onto the ground as well. Meanwhile, Bo Ya was still fighting the other two, and it was hard to tell who was winning.

Situ Jin paused and did not immediately charge at the leader. The leader had the chance to save the other two, but he could clearly sense that the leader had purposely held back and just watched as he killed his companions.

Why? asked Situ Jin quietly.

Oh! You could say theyre hunting dogs! The job of a hunting dog is to help the hunter to find its target, and not to share in the rewards. These two arent from my team anyway. Sorry for making you help me clear them out! A frightening smile spread across the leaders face.
