Chapter 173: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, But the Oriole Follows Behind

Once Ah Tonghuo heard this suggestion, he agreed with it!

He turned to look at Masha. “Masha, are you willing to wait here for a few days?”

What choice did Masha have? His own regiment commander had already spoken. How could he refuse?

“Captain, I can!”

Ah Tonghuo patted Masha’s shoulder in satisfaction. “Very good. Don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you!”

“It’s my duty to serve the leader. I don’t need any compensation!”

Ah Tonghuo smiled. “Don’t say anything nice. I will definitely give you what you need. You have to pay attention to your safety here!”

Thus, the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group left, leaving Masha alone!

Time passed quickly. Lugh’s three-day holiday ended and he returned to the military camp.

At this time, he was already thinking about what he should choose for his third divine pet!

The Stormhawk already had the strength of a Top-Grade Bronze, and if it advanced one step further, it would become a Silver-Grade.

Once the Stormhawk’s strength reached Silver-Grade, his physique would receive a new round of strengthening. At that time, he would be able to sign a third divine pet!

After bidding farewell to his teammates, Lugh returned to his simple barracks.

The next day, the diligent Lugh headed to the area where the Bronze Bulls gathered.

As soon as possible, reaching Silver-Grade was his goal!

A Silver-Grade Beast Master was the starting point of a true Beast Master.

With the three divine pets working together, Beast Masters would gradually have the strength to suppress higher-level Fierce Beasts.

To Beast Masters, the most important thing was a group fight.

If the Divine Beasts under their command didn’t turn into guqin and there were only one or two of them, how could he be considered a Beast Master!?

Sitting on the wings of the Stormhawk, listening to the roaring of the wind by his ears, looking down at the swarms of Bronze Bulls on the ground, Lugh felt that the air was sweet!

Standing on the grass, Lugh began to provoke the nearest group of Bronze Bulls!

When the bulls wanted to rush over, Lugh used his Berserk Bear’s ability!

Just as Lugh was wantonly slaughtering the Bronze Bulls, nearby, the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group’s Masha also started his work!

Using the Golden Hound to find the fierce beast that killed Ah Tonghuo’s nephew!

The area where the Bronze Bulls moved was very large. There were many soldiers and mercenaries who were hunting the Bronze Bulls.

When they were fighting, Masha would not get close to them.

In the wilderness, it was an absolute taboo for strangers to rashly get close to the Beast Master who was fighting!

He would only look for clues on the Bronze Bull’s corpse that was left behind after the battle!

All he needed to do was to let the Golden Hound sniff the smell of the corpse, and that would be enough!

After an entire morning, Masha still did not find anything!

At that moment, Masha was also thinking about whether he should just casually brush it off!

Perhaps, the person that killed Ah Tonghuo’s nephew really wouldn’t come again!

But at that moment, he heard the barking of the Golden Hound!

The Golden Hound had discovered something!

“What, you smell the murderer’s scent? He appeared? That’s great, that’s great!”

Masha was dancing with joy. He knew that as long as he found the murderer, he would definitely be a great merit!

The calm and excited Masha did not notice that a black flying-type Divine Beast was rapidly flying past him in the sky.

Masha was now hesitating. Should he report this matter to the Vice-Captain, Ah Tonghuo, or continue to search for the Beast Master nearby and find the other party?

About one kilometer away from Marsha, Lugh was digging for the crystal core of the Bronze Bull!

Even if it was a Black Iron-Grade beast crystal core, he wouldn’t waste it.

These were all money!

Although Lugh wasn’t short of money, who would complain about having too much money?

Since it was a hindrance, the Stormhawk landed beside Lugh.

Because he had learned from the sneak attack last time, when he didn’t use the Stormhawk to fight, he would get the Stormhawk to patrol the area around him, afraid that he would be ambushed again!

“What’s wrong?!”

Lugh looked at the Stormhawk and immediately began to communicate with it!

The growth potential of the Stormhawk was very high. Its knowledge was no less than that of an ordinary human!

“You found a Beast Master with a suspicious appearance that stopped at the place where I was fighting just now?”

“Is it to pick up the corpses of Fierce Beasts?”

According to Lugh’s knowledge, some brave civilians would enter the Mysterious Fantasy Mountain and take away some of the corpses of Fierce Beasts.

This was because many Beast Masters wouldn’t take away the corpses of Fierce Beasts after killing them. The corpses of these Fierce Beasts were the food that the civilians dreamed of.

Eating the corpses of Fierce Beasts for a long time could make one’s body stronger!

Moreover, the corpses of these Fierce Beasts could be exchanged for gold coins.

This kind of situation wasn’t rare, which was why Lugh thought so.

However, Lugh quickly denied this guess. The message from the Stormhawk indicated that the other party was a Beast Master!

Lugh glanced at the Bronze Bull corpses around him. The crystal cores had already been dug out!

He jumped onto the back of the Stormhawk and said, “Let’s change the venue. You can take me to see the Beast Master who is following me!”

In the air, Lugh quickly saw the suspicious person mentioned by the Stormhawk!

The Beast Master was wearing a black uniform. The uniform was majestic, and he was showing off the head of a Berserk Bear!

Berserk Bear Mercenary Group?

Lugh recognized this logo!

After staying in Mysterious Fantasy Mountain for a month, he had seen quite a few of the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group!

Since he killed the members of the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group who ambushed him last time, Lugh had always been on guard against the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group!

After all, the young Beast Master had said that his uncle was the deputy leader of the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group!

Then, Lugh saw the Golden Hound beside the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group member below, and habitually checked the information of the Divine Beast.

[Name: Golden Hound]

[Talent: 1. Sharp Sense of Smell (Normal)]

[Growth Potential: Low-Grade Gold]

[Strength Level: Low-Grade Silver]

[Attributes: Beast, Gold]

[Loyalty: 65]

[Skills: 1. Sensitive Sense of Smell, 2. Tearing, 3. Pouncing, 4. Surprise Attack]

Its talent was actually sensitive sense of smell?

It seemed that this divine pet should be good at tracking.

Seeing that Golden Hound sniffing beside the Bronze Bull that he had killed, Lugh’s pupils shrank!

Could it be that it was tracking him?

The Stormhawk was hovering high in the sky, circling around the member of the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group. Lugh’s gaze turned to look around the member of the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group!

It seemed that he was the only one!

Since he was the only one, Lugh could only say that he was embarrassed!

That Beast Master was still very young, about twenty years old!

In addition to his Silver-Grade pet, Lugh was certain that the other party’s strength was only Silver-Grade!

If it was Gold-Grade, then it would be a little exaggerated!

“Stormhawk, use Chain Wind Blades and kill them!”

Lugh decisively gave the order!

The Stormhawk spread its wings, and more than a dozen huge green blades shot towards the Beast Master!

As soon as the wind blades were formed, that Masha of the Berserk Bear Mercenary Group raised his head and left to dodge!

It was just a carpet attack to disperse the wind blade, and it wasn’t that easy to open up!

Just as a wind blade was about to touch Masha, a layer of gray armor quickly condensed on his body!

“Bang!”

The wind blade hacked onto the armor, and the gray armor only lasted for two seconds before it was directly shattered into pieces!

Even if it was a defensive skill of a Silver-Grade Divine Beast, the Stormhawk’s wind blade had a very high chance of breaking through the defense!

Then, the wind blade didn’t lose its momentum and instantly left a hideous wound on Masha’s back!

Masha was hit by the impact and fell heavily to the ground!

“Continue!”

The wind blade attacked Masha again!

The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind. Who would have thought that Masha, who was still chasing after Lugh, would die under Lugh’s hands just like that?

[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Stormhawk, has killed a Low-Grade Silver Beast Master. EXP: 30,000!]

[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Stormhawk, has killed a Low-Grade Silver Stone Beast. EXP: 30,000!]

Lugh had heard of the Stone Beast before. It was a rare elemental-type pet near Seven Star City!

Its defense was very strong.

After killing Masha, Lugh turned his gaze to the fleeing Golden Hound!

Once the Beast Master died, their subordinate Divine Beasts would fight for them if their loyalty was high.

If the loyalty of the pet was average, the pet would turn back into a beast and return to the wilderness.

Obviously, the relationship between Masha and the Golden Hound was average!

A pet with loyalty of more than 75 was considered very loyal. One had to awaken the pet from the egg to train it to have such a high loyalty.

“Let’s kill it as well!”

Lugh did not want to leave any trouble behind!

This Golden Hound had smelled his scent!
