Chapter 286: Lugh’s Decision

The whole cat was dispirited.

Lugh couldn’t bear to look at it.

In the past, he had a cat at home. He heard from his parents that he couldn’t pull out the cat’s whiskers.

He had always remembered it.

It was a rare opportunity for him to have a reason to pull out the whiskers of other people’s cats. Of course, Lugh wanted to give it a try.

“This time, for the sake of Adjutant Lucy, I’ll only pull out one of your whiskers. If you dare to act recklessly again, I’ll directly pull your head off. Do you understand?”

Lugh placed his hand on the Netherworld Phantom Cat’s neck, causing it to shiver.

At this moment, Lugh realized that the Netherworld Phantom Cat’s loyalty towards Lucy had increased by five points.

As expected, he had the talent of a Beast Tamer.

The Netherworld Phantom Cat obediently lay beside Lugh, allowing him to caress it.

Lucy sat at the back, looking at him with envy.

The Netherworld Phantom Cat was very independent and wild. After taming it for so long, Lucy had yet to touch it much.

The Netherworld Phantom Cat tilted its head in Lugh’s arms and looked at Lucy. It even sent a distress signal to Lucy, but Lucy remained unmoved. She only comforted it a little and persuaded it to obey Lugh.

“That kitten is so miserable.” The Ice Moon Elf in Lucy’s body gloated. “It actually dared to provoke Lugh. It even blew its head off.”

The Ice Moon Elf’s relationship with Lucy was quite good.

She couldn’t stand the Netherworld Phantom Cat.

“Okay.”

Lucy agreed in her heart.

The Ice Moon Elf whispered, “Lucy, don’t you think the temperature is a little high?”

“This…”

The temperature was high.

It seemed to be a casual remark, but Lucy knew the Ice Moon Elf’s personality.

The Ice Moon Elf would never make small talk with Lucy.

Lucy stroked the Netherworld Phantom Cat for a while and noticed that the sun was rising, and the weather was gradually getting hotter.

At this moment, he felt a chill coming from his side. Turning around, he saw Lucy with her head lowered, staring at the map as if she had fallen into it. A faint white mist rose from Lucy’s body.

After a day of traveling, they set up camp and rested for the night.

The next morning, when Lugh set out, not only did he summon the Stormhawk, but he also placed the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly and the Void Spirit on the back of the Stormhawk.

“You are already mature pet beasts. It’s time for you to learn how to farm monsters and level up. Do your best.”

Lugh instructed the Stormhawk, “In the air, don’t be polite when you see a suitable opponent. If it’s suitable, let the Void Spirit move a little. You have to take it with you more. No matter what, you have to pay more attention to the dangerous situation around you. Is that okay?”

The Stormhawk nodded.

The Stormhawk and the Berserk Bear were Lugh’s most reliable pets.

Sitting on the Black-Gold Eagle, he leisurely stroked the Netherworld Phantom Cat and enjoyed the artificial air-conditioning. From time to time, he could hear the sound of gaining experience.

This was the day Lugh wanted.

“Major, we can rush to Storm City first.” At this moment, Lucy walked to Lugh’s side and said when looking at the map, “In three days, we can rush to Storm city. Coincidentally, there’s a centipede train passing through Storm City.”

Lucy pointed at the black line on the map and said, “Coincidentally, this centipede train is heading to Blue Star City.”

Lugh nodded seriously. “Your idea is good, but we can’t take the centipede train. If we go to Blue Star City, our actions might be exposed.”

Seventeen days passed. Just as they were about to reach Blue Star City, the Void Spirit leveled up again.

[Ding! Your Pet Void Spirit has leveled up to Middle-Tier Gold.]

[Ding! Your Pet Void Spirit has learned a new skill — Teleportation.]

Teleportation was definitely a very powerful and practical teleportation skill.

Speaking of which, the skills that the Gold-grade Void Spirit had learned were a little too little compared to pet beasts of the same level.

There were only four skills.

In terms of talent and potential, the Void Spirit’s talent and potential were a little low compared to pet beasts of the same level.

However, thinking about how difficult it was to master the space element, Lugh suspected that it was very likely that other space-type Fierce Beasts had the same problem as the Void Spirit, having fewer skills in the early stages.

As night fell, they rushed to Blue Star City to rest.

However, Lugh still gave the order for all the members of the emergency team to rest for a day in the wilderness.

Due to the urgency of the matter, the team had been resting for three days and a night recently.

Even a Gold-tier Beast Master wouldn’t be able to withstand such torture.

Lugh asked Lucy to find Gary.

The three of them gathered around the bonfire.

“What’s the matter, Captain?”

“There’s something I need to tell you.” Yahn looked at Gary and said in a low voice, “Vice-Captain Barnard said that we should investigate in secret first and use the letter of appointment only if we find out that Scott and Rodney have a problem?”

“Yes.”

Gary nodded.

Lucy also stared at Lugh.

Lugh said seriously, “I want to change the method.”

“What method?”

“Directly take Morton and Scott and confront Rodney.”

Gary disagreed. “This will alert the enemy, right?”

“After the confrontation, we will directly take control of Morton and Scott and take over the entire Blue Star City.”

Gary and Lucy looked at Lugh in surprise.

This method was obviously too radical.

Gary calmed down. “Can you tell us why?”

“As long as we appear, the news of us coming to Blue Star City will not be enough. The Black Feather Organization will definitely be on full alert. If Scott is really involved with the Black Feather Organization, with their help, it will be extremely difficult for us to find the Black Feather Organization.”

Lugh broke a tree branch and threw it into the fire. He said slowly, “After all, Scott is a local boss. Although we are strong, they have many people.”

Gary reminded him, “This is different from Vice-Captain Barnard’s orders.”

“But our goals are the same!” Lugh gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffing up slightly.

Gary fell silent.

“There’s definitely something wrong with Blue Star City. If we don’t control Scott and the others, we’ll have to rely on our brothers for the common clues!” Lugh said slowly as he looked at the busy Beast Masters in the 14th Team. “The 70 Gold-tier Beast Masters don’t even know about it. If we spread them out to Blue Star City, they won’t even be able to splash water. Not only will it be hard for them to find any clues, they might even be in mortal danger.”

“But if Vice-Captain Barnard blames us…”

“Just say that it’s my order. You’re just following orders,” Lugh said calmly.

“This…”

Gary admitted that Lugh’s plan was very aggressive. It was definitely more beneficial than detrimental to their 14th Emergency Response Team.

However, he was still worried about Barnard’s blame.

He did have the thought of shirking responsibility, but he did not expect Lugh to agree so readily.

Gary looked at the young Lugh and felt a little uncomfortable.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lugh.

“It’s okay. You should know my defensive ability. Vice-Captain Barnard might not even be able to break my defense.”

Staring at the relaxed smile on Lugh’s face and the sincere look in his eyes, Gary shook his head helplessly. “I’ll listen to you.”

“That’s right.”

Lugh patted Gary’s shoulder.

Gary smiled and did not say anything else.

“Adjutant Lucy, inform the team to gather. They must also know about the situation in Blue Star City. We must make them aware of the dangers in the city. Our enemies this time might not only include the Black Feather Organization, but also the army of Blue Star City.”

“Yes, Major.”

The team quickly gathered, and Lugh briefly told the members of the team the truth.

After learning about the true situation in Blue Star City, the atmosphere in the entire 14th Team changed.

Just now, they were still chatting and laughing, appearing extremely relaxed.

In comparison, there were indeed some members who treated this mission as an investigation into a missing person case.

And now, every member of the emergency team became serious.

It wasn’t even eight o’clock. Outside the tent, apart from a few Beast Masters on duty, the other Beast Masters had all returned to their tents to rest.

The camp was quiet.

“Adjutant Lucy, you didn’t say anything earlier. How do you think I did this time?”

Lucy replied, “Major, I have no objections. I agree with your idea.”

“Well, you go and rest.”

Gary took a look at Lugh and entered his tent.

After zipping up the tent, he remembered Lugh.

Gary said to himself in a low voice, “Maybe… he is indeed more suitable to be the Captain than me.”
