Chapter 267: A Temporary Mission For Lugh

There were very few Gold-tier female Beast Masters. Even if there were, most of them were burly women like Elisa.

Beautiful women were really rare.

“What’s your relationship with Captain Elisa? Do you know something?”

Lucy had just entered Team 7 to report when Lugh brought her to Hepeng Valley.

It was normal for the members of Team 7 not to have seen her before.

Lugh nodded. “I know.”

“You’ve seen her before?”

The Beast Masters’eyes lit up, and they all looked at Lugh.

“I’ve seen her before.”

Colin asked, “Who is she? What’s her name? Is she really pretty?”

“Lucy, the one with the long white hair.”

Lugh didn’t hide anything.

Counting the time, even if they met with danger halfway, Lucy should be back by now.

Colin said in surprise, “The Frost Goddess Lucy? That Genius Beast Master?”

Lugh nodded. “It should be her!”

Colin sighed. “My god, why would she come to our 7th Team? Didn’t she stay at the Pavilion of Treasures the whole time?”

The whole of Skylight City knew about the attack on the Pavilion of Treasures the last time. The reason was that the Pavilion of Treasure’s hunting squad had tried to assassinate the members of the Emergency Response Team.

However, the upper echelons of the Southwest Military and the Pavilion of Treasures had reached a tacit agreement not to reveal who had done it.

Elisa had also mentioned it to Lugh, asking him not to tell anyone.

Now that Lucy had become his adjutant, he had no choice but to reveal it,

Lugh said casually, “Perhaps Lucy also feels that hunting Fierce Beasts, protecting the commoners, and protecting the country are the goals Beast Masters should pursue in life.”

Colin smiled and said, “Lugh’s words make sense.”

After staying in the Emergency Response Team for a day, when the sky was about to turn dark, Elisa called Lughout.

In Elisa’s office, Lugh saw the Captain of the 10th Team, Bill.

Elisa went straight to the point and said, “There’s a mission that requires you to go. It’s in Skylight City. The mission is very urgent.”

What mission?

“Bill, you tell him!”

“The daughter of a member of our 10th Team went missing in the outer city this morning. The city guard’s investigators haven’t found any clues yet. His family came looking for us, so I can’t refuse.”

“That member is currently on a mission outside. His daughter is missing. I can’t just ignore this matter,” Bill said helplessly. “Unfortunately, the Beast Master in our squad who’s good at tracking also went on a mission, so I had no choice but to run over and ask for help from your 7th Team. Since you happened to be here, I wanted to ask you for help.”

“Sure.”

Lugh didn’t hesitate and agreed immediately.

This matter definitely wasn’t under the Emergency Response Team’s jurisdiction.

But since it involved the members of the Emergency Response Team, they still had the right to intervene.

Besides, since Lugh had nothing to do now, it wouldn’t be a problem if the members of the 10th Emergency Response Team were busy.

The family would definitely be very anxious if the child was lost.

[Ding! Mission announcement: Search for the missing daughter of the 10th Emergency Response Team member.]

[Mission success: Can randomly increase the talent level of any pet by one level.]

Hearing the system notification, Lugh was even happier.

Bill smiled and said, “Then I’ll leave it to you, Brother.”

“It’s fine.”

Lugh followed Bill and rushed towards the 10th Team camp.

Just as they reached the entrance of the 10th Team’s campsite, Lugh noticed two women standing at the entrance.

One was an old woman wiping her tears, while the other was an anxious middle-aged woman. There were seven members of the emergency team surrounding them.

As soon as Bill appeared, the two women went up to greet him.

“Don’t panic. This is Lugh, the genius Beast Master of our Emergency Response Team who’s the best at tracking.” Bill introduced Lugh to them. “With him around, we’ll definitely be able to find that little girl.”

Lugh was a little embarrassed by this round of praise.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.” The middle-aged woman’s eyes were red as she bowed to Lugh. “I heard our family member mention you before. He said you’re very powerful.”

“Please, I beg you to find Taylor.” The gray-haired old woman wiped away her tears and said, “This is all my fault. I should have held her hand back then.”

Bill interrupted the old lady’s self-reproach. “Lugh, the car is ready. All of you, set off now. I’ll send seven experts to follow you. As for the city guards, I’ve already informed the people there. They’ll send someone to assist you. They’re all waiting at the North City Gate.”

“Alright.”

Bill arranged for the old lady to sit in the passenger seat. The middle-aged woman was helped onto the military car, and the other seven Gold-tier Beast Masters followed Lugh and jumped onto the car.

The driver stepped on the accelerator low, and the military car ran frantically towards Skylight City.

At first, the middle-aged woman was still a little uncomfortable, but she quickly steadied herself.

It was only then that Lugh noticed that the other party was a Bronze-tier Beast Master.

“Do you have anything that your daughter carries with her?”

“Yes.” The woman sat on the carriage and took out a small pink dress from her handbag. “This is Ying Ying’s dress. She just changed it. I haven’t had the time to wash it yet.”

Obviously, the other party had already made preparations.

Lugh took the small dress and put it to his nose. He took a deep breath and a strong body fragrance and milk fragrance entered his nostrils.

In fact, the smell was not that strong. It was just that Lugh’s nose was too sensitive.

Lugh’s nose began to identify all the smells on the small dress. He memorized them one by one.

A minute later, he returned the small clothes to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman handed Lugh a photo.

In the photo was a cute little girl who was about five years old.

She wore a beautiful dress and stood on the grass, smiling at Lugh.

“We will find her. Don’t worry.”

“Okay, please.”

The military car went smoothly. When they reached the city gate, three more city guards jumped up.

Following them was a Golden Hound. This large dog made the entire carriage squeeze together.

When the Beast Master with the Golden Hound saw Lugh, he immediately saluted him.

Among the members of the emergency team in the carriage, he was the one with the highest military rank.

“How’s the situation?”

“We haven’t found them yet. Their scent disappeared halfway,” the city guard Beast Master said. “Our initial suspicions are that they might be related to the underground forces of Skylight City. We’ve already sent people to investigate, trying to find them by today.”

“What about the surveillance cameras? Are there any surveillance cameras on the streets?”

“There are, but their car numbers are all fake. Their cars are also very ordinary, and they’re all wearing masks. They seem to know the location of the surveillance cameras very well, and they quickly disappeared from the range of the surveillance cameras.”

Under the supervision of Skylight City, the main branches were located on the main streets.

This was already considered a good condition.

For example, Seven Star City only had a few surveillance points set up.

Companies and factories with capital only had surveillance points set up at the entrances and exits.

“How about tracking the smell of the wheels?”

“Halfway through, the smell disappeared,” the Beast Master said. “The other party was obviously prepared.”

Lugh asked, “Is there any way to eliminate the smell?”

“There are many ways. The most common ones are some scent-eliminating drugs.”

“Take me to the place where the scent disappeared.”

“Yes.”

Half an hour later, the sky turned dark.

The military truck stopped on a deserted street. Lugh and the others jumped out of the truck.

The Beast Master pointed to a corner on the street and said, “This is the place. The Golden Hound lost track of the scent here.”

Lugh walked to the empty space and sniffed lightly.

He could smell the scent of the energy vehicle, as well as the stronger scent of the two strangers.

He could even smell the lingering scent of milk in the air.

The car door opened, and the smell of milk wafted out from the window.

Judging from the smell, the two strangers had stayed for about two minutes after getting out of the car.

Their routes of action were both to get out of the car, go to the trunk, and then repeat themselves.

“They probably changed their tires,” Lugh whispered.

The Golden Hounds were definitely not tracking the scent of the car that was still in the air.

The scent in the air was dissipating too quickly.

They could only track the scent of the wheels rubbing against the road.

It was impossible for them to determine how long the other party had stayed by the intensity of the scent like Lugh.

But Lugh was different.

Moreover, the Golden Hounds’ intelligence wasn’t even comparable to humans.

They usually only listened to simple commands, making it difficult for them to track the other party flexibly.

The Beast Master raised his head and said regretfully, “Changing a tire? Why didn’t I think of that?”

“It’s fine. It’s not a big problem. There’s actually not much difference between using medicine and changing the tires. The effects are similar!”

The Beast Master said, “There’s less traffic here. Just follow the smell of the new tires.”

Upon hearing the new order, the Golden Hound immediately started sniffing the smell on the ground.

The Beast Master said dejectedly, “The Golden Hound told me that seven cars passed by here today. He didn’t know which one to follow.”

Lugh said calmly, “It’s fine. I know it’s the smell of those tires.”

He strode forward. A few Beast Masters and military personnel were in pursuit. A middle-aged woman stood on the carriage, her gaze following Lugh the entire time.
