After so thought, Qin Shou still interrupted Long Xia’s blissful fantasy.
"Stop smiling, you can’t take this mission."
Long Xia froze. "Lao Qin, are you chickening out? That’s not like you at all!"
Qin Shou curled his lips. "Since Wang Bao dared to lure out, he must have already prepared thoroughly. There’s no way I can set an ambush before he does."
"Then what? Are we just letting this slide?"
Qin Shou chuckled. "Of course not. Notify Lin Xiaoi and have her quietly leave the city to et in the swamp."
Long Xia smirked mischievously. "Oh oh, the swamp, Lao Qin... So, this is one of your odd little preferences?"
Rolling his eyes, Qin Shou retorted, "Zip it! Once Lin Xiaoi leaves the city, you try to leak this news to Wang Bao: tell him I’ve discovered Radon’s trail and that Lin Xiaoi is joining to hunt it.
After that, you won’t need to worry about anything else."
Long Xia seed to ponder this. "Alright, I’ll go notify Lin Xiaoi now. Be careful yourself."
"Got it."
Turning off his communicator, Qin Shou squinted slightly, his thoughts deepening.
...
"What? Dragon Capturing Team isn’t taking the mission?"
Inside the room, Wang Bao, whose face appeared haggard, furrowed his brows tightly, his voice full of disbelief.
On the opposite sofa, a gloomy-faced man nodded with a cold smirk.
"That’s right; it seems they’ve grown suspicious."
Wang Bao sighed. "Three Earth Core Energy Crystals would indeed make anyone skeptical.
But ti is running out. In a few more days, the Three Schools Trial begins, and my nephew won’t stand a chance."
The man waved dismissively and grinned. "No need to worry. Word has co that the kid has discovered the trail of Fla Demon Radon. Perhaps the task proved too much for him alone, so he’s summoned a Newborn Nine Stars girl to join.
My guess is they’re trying to make this effort together."
Wang Bao’s expression shifted. "You’re suggesting...?"
The man stood up and scoffed. "Since he won’t take the bait, we’ll go find him ourselves.
With our Flying Eagle Team’s strength, in the Newborn phase, no one escapes our combined assault!"
Wang Bao broke into a grin. "Then I’ll leave it to you. Once it’s done, everything the boy owns will be yours, plus three additional Earth Core Energy Crystals as thanks."
"Hahaha, much appreciated..."
...
Foul swamp.
"Roar..."
"Bang!!"
A dangerous nine-star Swamp Giant Crocodile let out a mournful cry before King Kong smashed its skull with a single blow, causing its massive corpse to collapse.
After storing the crocodile carcass, Qin Shou scanned his surroundings and nodded slightly.
"The monsters around here have pretty much been cleared out, and there don’t appear to be any horror-level threats. At least for now, we won’t need to worry about other monsters interfering."
Nearby, Lin Xiaoi, who had rushed to the swamp, appeared visibly tense.
"Qin Shou—are we really doing this?"
Qin Shou shook his head. "This isn’t sothing you should ask . You know very well that I’m a good person."
Lin Xiaoi: "..."
I shouldn’t have asked...
"Beep beep..."
At that mont, the communicator buzzed. Qin Shou checked the incoming ssage, his expression suddenly shifting.
"Not good—Rein Jia’er has been discovered."
Lin Xiaoi turned pale with alarm. "What’s going on? Isn’t your beast capable of turning invisible? How did they find it?"
"It’s the Flying Eagle Team—a group of seasoned Monster Hunters, as troubleso as ever!"
Retrieving his communicator, Qin Shou’s face grew somber.
...
"Rustle rustle rustle..."
In the dense jungle, Rein Jia’er sprinted through the foliage while cloaked invisibly.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a potent energy bullet tore through the air, striking Rein Jia’er directly in the leg. Crimson blood sprayed into the humid jungle.
Rein Jia’er winced in pain, baring its teeth, but having rged with Lion Beast genes ensured that unless it suffered a fatal injury, its speed and combat ability would remain unaffected.
Not far behind, a gaunt man lowered his energy sniper gun, his expression laden with surprise.
"Strange. How is this Lion Beast still running so fast after taking a hit?"
"Xiao Fang, stop gawking—stay on it! This Lion Beast is likely Qin Shou’s invisible beast. It’s possible he’s already onto us."
The gloomy man barked.
"Got it."
Steadying his aim, Xiao Fang adjusted his sight using the thermal imaging in the sniper scope. His energy sniper gun fired again, the next bullet tearing through and striking Rein Jia’er’s chest.
"Splat..."
Its heart ripped open, a gory hole spilled fresh blood as Rein Jia’er staggered and crashed to the ground.
"Dammit... This hurts like hell..."
Gasping up blood, Rein Jia’er struggled to stand and bolted forth once more.
Despite its heart injury, thanks to its tenacious vitality and the wounds’ inability to worsen further, this wouldn’t prove lethal.
As long as its brain remained intact or its body wasn’t destroyed, it wouldn’t easily succumb.
These injuries? Treatable after returning to its master’s "little black room."
The so-called "black room" was, in truth, a synthesis interface.
anwhile, Xiao Fang watched in stunned disbelief as Rein Jia’er fled.
"Impossible... That’s a pierced heart—it must be an Undying Beast!"
Nearby, the gloomy man lowered his telescope, exhilaration filling his face.
"Very likely. Xiao Fang, one more shot—aim for its head this ti."
"Understood."
Just as Xiao Fang steadied his aim towards Rein Jia’er, a deafening roar echoed from the skies above.
"Roar!!"
A colossal twenty-ter creature dove rapidly towards the group, kicking up a cloud of dust and sand.
At the rear, Wang Bao shouted in panic, "It’s Qin Shou’s Dragon Beast—he’s here!"
Amidst the whirlwind, the gloomy man sneered coldly. "Good. He ca to us."
"Xiao Fang—forget the Lion Beast. Locate Qin Shou."
"Hu Rong—get up front and defend!"
"Got it!"
In an instant, the gloomy man issued commands.
Xiao Fang’s eyes glimred with Star Power; his pupils sharpened like eagle talons, capturing the smallest movents around them.
Having fused with Eagle Beast genes, his vision prowess was unparalleled, exposing Rein Jia’er’s stealth and allowing the group to dodge traps hidden in the swamp.
Nearby stood a burly man wielding a heavily-armored Phoenix Guerilla equipped with a massive chain hamr, which he swung boldly towards the greedy snake.
"Boom!"
"Clang!"
The greedy snake whipped its tail, colliding head-on with the giant chain hamr, sparks flying brightly.
Harnessing the Power of Giant Force, the hamr recoiled from the clash, while the greedy snake used the montum to launch high into the air.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, above the gloomy man’s head, a Space Gate appeared, unleashing an enormous Monkey-faced Spider that shot forth sticky webs to ensnare the greedy snake.
"Roar!"
Twisting agilely, the greedy snake evaded the web, only to catch a glint of light at the corner of its eye—a forceful energy bullet blasting towards it.
"Bang!"
"Roar!"
The greedy snake bellowed furiously, blood seeping from the wound near its eye.
It narrowly escaped becoming a cyclops.
The eyes were one of its key vulnerabilities.
Fuming with rage, the greedy snake emitted blazing radiance from its abdon, rapidly concentrating toward its mouth.
Realizing the imminent threat, the gloomy man waved his hand sharply.
"Xiao Fang—shoot its eyes. Stop it from unleashing its flas."
"Understood!"
Just as Xiao Fang repositioned for action, several energy cannons suddenly descended from the skies.
"Not good—take cover!"
