Chapter 239: Leader of the Beast God Cult Appeared

Lugh had always focused on saving his life.

As long as he could survive, he would be able to deal damage.

As long as he could survive, there would be hope.

After getting out of the apartment and changing into his military uniform, Lugh brought his men back to the guest house.

Colin asked, “Captain, is it over just like that?”

Lugh asked back, “Of course it’s over just like that. What else do you want?”

“I feel like we haven’t done anything since we came here!” Bruce said in a depressed tone, “We just accompanied the Captain to go shopping for half a day.”

“Go shopping? Isn’t shopping good?” Lugh said in a low voice, “Who doesn’t want to go shopping every day?”

“Yeah, who doesn’t want to go shopping every day? Who would want to risk their lives every day?” Owen said in a low voice.

“But the mission has been completed. We are relaxed now.”

Lugh looked at the sky. It was not early yet. It was just three o’clock in the afternoon. “Now that the mission has been completed, you can go shopping if you want. Remember to gather at seven. The Guardian said he would treat us to a meal.”

“Okay.”

Lugh and his subordinates scattered like birds and beasts.

During dinner, Lugh learned about the interrogation of the two members of the Beast God Cult.

Hall said helplessly, “We didn’t get any useful information. Their memories were tampered with.”

“That’s troublesome.”

Lugh wasn’t very good at this.

“Skylight City is also good at finding memories,” Hall said. “Let’s give these two members of the Beast God Cult another try. If we really can’t handle them, I want Major Lugh to escort them back to Skylight City.”

“Sure.”

Lugh didn’t decline.

Even if this matter was reported, the mission would most likely still be theirs.

Who asked them to go along the way?

“I’ll immediately send someone to report the situation here. Just thirteen days.”

Hall said, “Before the next centipede train arrives, if we don’t have any progress, you guys take them back.”

“Okay.”

Staying in Nanyu City for a few more days was acceptable to Lugh.

Almost all the human base cities were surrounded by Fierce Beasts.

Returning to Skylight City to kill Fierce Beasts was no different from killing Fierce Beasts here.

After telling the four team members about the matter, they had no objections.

On the second day after catching the disciples of the Beast God Cult, Lugh got the distribution map of Fierce Beasts near Nanyu City from the military.

There was nothing more important than increasing one’s strength.

Right now, the Stormhawk, the Berserk Bear, and the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine had all risen to High-tier Gold.

Only the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly was still at Middle-tier Gold, which made Lugh, who had some minor obsessive-compulsive disorder, feel a little awkward.

Twelve days later, eight Beast Masters gathered in a dilapidated residential building in the slums of Nanyu City.

“Those two pieces of trash can’t even do such a thing!”

A black-robed man appeared and started cursing.

“They clearly escaped, but they still managed to find them.”

“Sir, we’ve also found out that Nanyu City seems to be unable to interrogate them. They’re planning to hand Ash and Carolyn over to the members of the Emergency Response Team and send them to Skylight City via the centipede train. Can we choose to attack them on the centipede train?”

The black-robed man shook his head and smiled. “I’m afraid that won’t do. Those train conductors are on average a level stronger than the Guardian. Compared to them, Hall is actually easier to deal with. As the Guardian, he has more things to take care of.”

“Then, my Lord, you mean that we will act in Nanyu City?”

“Yes, I’ve summoned all of you from other cities to come here. All of you are tired after running around for so long.”

The black-robed man said, “We’ll rest today. We’ll take action tomorrow night. Leave Hall to me. All of you will be in charge of bringing Ash and Carolyn back. If it really doesn’t work out, send them to serve the Lord Beast God.”

“Yes, Lord Bishop.”

Thirteen days later, in the evening, Lugh finally met Warren.

Warren also brought an order from the army of Skylight City. He would lead a team to escort the two disciples of the Beast God Cult back to Skylight City.

[Ding! Mission issued: Escort the disciples back to Skylight City.]

[Mission reward: The host can select a pet beast and let it comprehend a skill that matches the pet’s innate talent.]

There was no reason to miss out on a system mission.

After asking a little, the two disciples of the Beast God Cult were unable to obtain any valuable information in Nanyu City.

In the second half of the night, Lugh was lying on his bed when he suddenly heard an explosion.

It was as if there was an earthquake, and the ground began to shake violently.

“There’s an earthquake!”

“Everyone, run!”

…

Lugh immediately got up from his bed, put on his clothes, and rushed out of the guest house.

The moment he stepped out of the door, he saw that the other four members of the squad were also there.

Lugh looked in the direction of the explosion.

It was very close. Flames had already lit up at Nanyu City’s Military Headquarters.

“Stormhawk, scout.”

In the dark night, the Stormhawk spread its wings and flew high into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

“Let’s go take a look!”

“Yes, Captain.”

The five of them charged toward Nanyu City’s Military Headquarters.

There were also many soldiers and Beast Masters charging toward the military headquarters with them.

The military headquarters of Nanyu City had been attacked. The first person Lugh suspected was a human.

Fierce Beasts wouldn’t be able to pinpoint their location so accurately.

“Be careful. The other party has at least the strength of a Platinum-tier Beast Master. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the guts to attack the Military Headquarters of Nanyu City.”

“Understood.”

After running a few steps, Lugh added, “It’s very likely that they’re from the Beast God Cult. Be careful of their spiritual skills.”

This was also what Lugh had just remembered.

In the entire Southwest Region, there were indeed other factions besides the military.

It was very rare for them to be so crazy as to directly attack the military of a base city.

In particular, there were two members of the Beast God Cult imprisoned in the military of Nanyu City.

That made it even more likely that they were from the Beast God Cult.

Of course, this was only his guess.

The Stormhawk was already in position. After communicating with it, Lugh knew that the one who had the confidence to attack the military was a Beast Master.

This could be considered as confirming Lugh’s guess.

“The Stormhawk has confirmed it. The opponent is a human Beast Master.”

In just three minutes, Lugh and the others saw the battlefield.

The battlefield and which one was it? A few huge pet beasts were fighting.

The aftermath of the battle had almost destroyed the military headquarters and the buildings near the military headquarters.

According to the Stormhawk’s warning, Lugh quickly noticed the black-robed man sitting in the sky above the military headquarters.

The black-robed man’s eyes were glowing with a white light.

He also saw Hall, who was standing on the Azure Eagle.

He wasn’t in a good condition. He had been beaten into a sorry state. During the battle, he had been too preoccupied with something and couldn’t use his full strength.

Lugh understood after a moment’s thought. This was the military headquarters of Nanyu City.

Not only were there a large number of soldiers, Beast Masters, and military families living nearby, but there were also a large number of Gold-tier flying-type pet beasts.

Many Gold-tier flying-type pet beasts appeared in the sky. They were the Beast Masters of Nanyu City’s military.

However, before those Gold-tier pet beasts could get close to the black-robed old man, chaos broke out, and they started attacking each other.

“How is this possible?”

“What’s going on? My Golden Saber Eagle is out of control.”

“Make them stop.”

…

Mind control.

Very strong mind control.

Lugh’s Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly could do it too.

However, the probability of controlling a Platinum-tier spirit-type pet was not high.

Lugh was certain that the black-robed man had a Platinum-tier spirit-type pet on him.

This was the Nanyu City military headquarters. The other party was probably just trying to create chaos and stall Hall.

If it was a Platinum-tier beast, Lugh could still consider fighting it.

But if it was a Platinum-tier Beast Master, it was better to let Hall deal with it first.

“The people from the Beast God Cult must be after those two prisoners. Let’s go to the prison.”

“Okay!”

When they first captured the two people from the Beast God Cult, Lugh had been to the military prison in Nanyu City.

He knew the location of the prison. It was underground behind the military headquarters. The prisoners in there were all major criminals from Nanyu City.

The prison had been severely damaged by the battle between Hall and the black-robed man. Many places had collapsed.

The three prisoners had just crawled out of the prison. They breathed in the fresh air desperately and shouted excitedly, “We’re free!”

“Let’s go! Don’t shout!”

Behind him, his companions cursed.

However, they had not even run two steps when they ran into five soldiers.

Before they could see Lugh’s group clearly, Lugh had already seen them clearly.

They were wearing prison uniforms and had energy guns in their hands.

“Kill them!”

Collin jumped up and the three prisoners died instantly.

They didn’t even have time to react.

He released the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine and sealed the underground.

Lugh and the others looked at the prison’s entrance.

The city’s electrical system had gone haywire, and it was pitch black.

However, Gold-tier Beast Masters had their bodies strengthened multiple times. They were able to adapt to the dark environment.

Just as they entered the prison’s entrance, Lugh saw seven dead military Beast Masters. They didn’t have any wounds on their bodies.

Lugh immediately summoned the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly. The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly could feel the spiritual fluctuations from the two dead bodies.
