Chapter 231: Was Ready to Lead the Team

She handed a map of the Hepeng Valley to Lugh. There was a standard red line in the valley.

“Recently, the breeding season of the boa-type beasts has arrived. At this time of the year, a large number of boa-type beasts will rush to this valley marked on the red line.”

Elisa continued, “The members of the 7th Team urgently need to replenish a large number of Gold-tier pet beasts. Boa-type beasts are a good target. There are also ten members of the team who expressed their desire to obtain boa-type beasts.”

Boa-type Fierce Beasts were usually large in size and powerful in strength. They were tough and resistant. They were very suitable to be used for survival or as the front row of a battle.

Lugh pointed at himself and asked, “I’ll lead the team?”

“That’s right. You’ll lead the team,” Elisa said. “Whether it’s in terms of strength, ability, or military rank, you’re qualified to lead the team. What you need now is experience.”

“Alright, I’ll make sure to complete the mission.”

“Be careful. You can only capture them from the outside. Don’t attack them within a hundred kilometers of this canyon. There are also powerful boa-type Fierce Beasts sleeping in the canyon. You must be careful.”

Elisa reminded him, “Every Gold-tier Beast Master is very important to our emergency team. You have to understand.”

…

“I got it.”

After Lugh accepted the mission, he received another system notification. [Ding! Help ten members of the Emergency Response Team catch ten Gold-Tier Beasts.]

[Mission reward: The host can receive a talent point that can increase a pet’s talent by one level.]

Hearing this system notification, Lugh was even more satisfied.

He loved doing missions the most.

Under Elisa’s arrangement, Lugh quickly met the ten members of the team who wanted to own a Gold-tier boa pet.

Among the ten, Lugh saw Bruce.

Elisa said with a straight face, “Lugh will be leading the team on this mission. You must listen to his orders, understand?”

“Yes!”

The ten Gold-tier Beast Masters replied in unison.

Lugh’s combat and reconnaissance abilities were obvious to everyone.

The entire team knew that he had single-handedly overpowered more than ten Rock Armor Rhinoceroses.

Although Lugh was young, everyone knew that he already had the combat abilities of a top Gold-tier Beast Master.

In addition to his powerful reconnaissance abilities, he was the kind of teammate that all the members wanted the most.

Lugh straightened his back as well, the expression on his face turning serious.

As the team leader, his responsibility wasn’t just to help capture the pet beasts. He also had to take responsibility for their safety, bringing them back safely and intact.

“Alright, take advantage of the few days when the thunderstorm is over. You guys can set off now.”

Walking out of Elisa’s office, Lugh said simply, “Half an hour to prepare. We’ll gather at the entrance in half an hour.”

Ten Gold-tier Beast Masters rushed to their barracks to pack up their things. A member of Team 7 smiled.

“I feel that kid, Lugh, really has some dignity when he gets serious.”

Bruce asked back, “Why? Are you not convinced?”

The member of Team 7 said shyly, “That’s not it. Last time in Mita City, his Bloodthirsty Hell Vine saved my life. I’m just not used to it. He looks too young.”

Bruce also nodded. “Actually, I’m not used to it either. But I think we will get used to it in the future.”

“We should listen to him. This time, he is indeed suitable to lead the team to capture the pet beasts. Without him, we don’t know how much time we will spend.”

…

Lugh was waiting for them outside the door. In just ten minutes, the ten members of the 7th Team had gathered at the door.

“Let’s go.”

After leaving the camp, Lugh immediately released the Stormhawk. The Stormhawk flew high up into the sky, directly disappearing into the clouds.

The other ten Beast Masters looked at the Stormhawk enviously, releasing six Gold-tier flying-type pets one after another.

“Captain, do you want to sit on my Azure Eagle?”

Bruce took the initiative to ask

“Mhm.”

Lugh’s Stormhawk had always been scouting high up in the sky.

An ordinary Gold-tier flying-type pet beast wouldn’t be able to fly so high up in the sky.

Lugh could only follow the main group and remotely control the Stormhawk.

Bruce’s Azure Eagle had a docile personality. It didn’t reject Lugh.

Lugh sat on the back of the Azure Eagle. After identifying the direction, he immediately ordered the team to come out.

The Azure Eagle flew at the front. Behind him were five Gold-tier flying-type pets, along with nine Gold-tier Beast Masters.

They flew past the safety zone of Skylight City, past the reclaimed fields.

On the way, Lugh and the others met other Beast Masters. Everyone just nodded to each other and hurried past them.

As the group entered Hepeng Valley, all the Beast Masters had solemn expressions on their faces.

Lugh continued to look at the map and determine the direction, heading towards that valley.

Two days later, they broke through the outskirts of Hepeng Valley and continued deeper into the valley.

“Descend. There’s a flock of Soaring Sparrows flying over.”

“Alright!”

The eleven Beast Masters all descended to the ground.

The ten Gold-tier Beast Masters were somewhat glad. Although the Soaring Sparrows were Silver-tier flying-type Fierce Beasts, they came in groups and weren’t to be trifled with.

On their side, the five Gold-tier flying-type Divine Beasts were all carrying people. It wouldn’t be good for either side if they fought.

However, they forgot that Lugh still had a Stormhawk that wasn’t carrying any weight.

A black shadow flashed across the sky, and the Stormhawk directly fell from the sky.

The Soaring Sparrow flock didn’t have time to react before the Stormhawk pounced on them.

The Stormhawk spread its extremely sharp wings. All the Soaring Sparrows that came into contact with it were instantly sliced into pieces.

With just a few jumps from the black shadow, the blood and feathers of the Soaring Sparrows flew all over the sky.

If it was an ordinary Gold-tier flying-type Fierce Beast that came across hundreds of Silver-tier Fierce Beasts, the Gold-tier Fierce Beasts would definitely not dare to provoke it.

However, Lugh’s Stormhawk was just too powerful.

In just a few breaths, over a hundred Silver-tier beasts were completely annihilated.

After killing all the Soaring Sparrows, the Stormhawk soared into the sky and disappeared into the vast horizon.

Hearing a series of system experience points notifications, Lugh smiled.

When doing missions, he could still find time to level up his pet beast.

“What was that just now?”

“Over a hundred Soaring Sparrows were gone in an instant.”

“I didn’t see it clearly either.”

“It’s really dangerous in the depths of Hepeng Valley.”

“Captain, did you see your Stormhawk?”

Seeing that someone was asking him, Lugh said directly, “That’s my Stormhawk.”

“Ah?”

Lugh nodded seriously. “It’s faster. It’s normal that you guys didn’t see it clearly.”

At this moment, Lugh had no intention of hiding it. In any case, they would all be able to see it if they fought together in the future.

Lugh said, “Let’s go. Let’s keep moving.”

“Alright.”

The ten gold-tier Beast Masters looked at Lugh’s back with solemn expressions.

They knew very well that with the Stormhawk’s speed, they, as Gold-tier Beast Masters, could very well be killed instantly.

Its speed was too fast.

It was so fast that they couldn’t even see it clearly.

With the Stormhawk’s high-altitude reconnaissance and the Berserk Bear’s sense of danger, the ten Beast Masters were safely brought to a desolate forest 130 li away from the canyon by Lugh.

“There aren’t any Gold-tier Fierce Beasts nearby. You guys rest here for a while. I’ll follow the Stormhawk to help you find your target.”

“Alright, be careful, Leader.”

…

After Lugh left, the two Beast Masters released their flight-type pet beasts to be on guard.

The others sat down.

“I really don’t have to worry about following Lugh. I didn’t encounter anything.”

“That’s right. Three years ago, I came here too. At that time, I ran into a Black Gold Eagle, and quite a few people died.”

“No wonder Big Captain Elisa asked Lugh to bring us here.”

…

Lugh stood on the Stormhawk and soon discovered a Gold-tier Herculean Boa.

After taking a look at the data of the Herculean Boa, he jumped down from the eagle’s back and stomped on the Herculean Boa into two pieces.

There was no other reason. This was because the Herculean Boa had no talent at all and its skills were rather rubbish.

During these few days of traveling, the members of the party were very obedient to Lugh’s orders.

This made Lugh very satisfied.

In the future, everyone would be comrades who fought together in the trenches. Lugh wanted to help them find some pet beasts with good talent.

Beasts that were too mediocre, it was better to forget about them.

Lugh could also upgrade his pet beasts at the same time.

The boa-type beasts were breeding period, and with the presence of the Stormhawk, he was not afraid of wasting time.

Besides, how could it be considered a waste of time to improve the strength of his pet beasts?

After killing another seven or eight Herculean Boas, Lugh finally found a Gold Mid-Grade Herculean Boa with two Normal talents. That Herculean Boa crawled straight towards the direction of the canyon.

Lugh immediately went back to find his team members. “Let’s go. I found a Herculean Boa that looks pretty good. It’s a Middle-tier Gold. See who wants it.”
