"That was so close! I thought I was dead … "One of the team members said with lingering fear.
"Thank goodness we had Lu Xiong. If not for his beast bloodline and keen senses in the forest, we would have been dead." The team leader patted Lu Xiong's shoulder and praised him.
Lu Xiong hesitated for a moment and said, "Team leader, our mission this time is a tracking mission, but it's too dangerous. Should we continue?"
The rest of the team members had a look of lingering fear. The higher-ups clearly said that this mission was a low-level mission for the special operations team.
However, the Direbeast and the mysterious man who were tracking them were at least level three.
One had to know that the team leader was only level two level nine. It was not an exaggeration to say that this mission was a high-level one.
The team leader nodded and said, "There was an error in the intelligence obtained by the higher-ups. We've already reported it. There should be an order to retreat after daybreak. You guys can take a few days off then … "
The team members cheered. They were worried that they would have to continue with the mission. If that was really the case, as soldiers, they could not disobey orders.
After a while, Lu Xiong and another team member were in charge of keeping watch. The rest of the team members were exhausted and fell asleep as soon as they laid down.
"You go and sleep for a while. You'll change shifts with me later," Lu Xiong said to another team member.
"Lu Xiong. You go and sleep first. "
The other team member shook his head. In the mission just now, Lu Xiong was the most tired one. He was the one who should rest the most.
"Alright then. You hold on for now. My beast bloodline recovers very quickly. I'll be fine after a short rest. "
Lu Xiong was very straightforward. He walked straight to the other side and sat down against a rock, closing his eyes to rest.
Thump, thump, thump …
His wildly beating heart gradually calmed down. Lu Xiong secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He actually had something he did not report about the mission just now. The Direbeast and mysterious man who were tracking them did not seem to have malicious intent.
However, based on Lu Xiong's intuition, the side with no malicious intent was actually the beast.
When he had first realized this, Lu Xiong had felt that it was absurd. That was a realm three vicious beast – the Black Striped Leopard Raccoon. There had never been a precedent of it being tamed. Once it encountered a living creature, it would definitely kill the other party.
And the mysterious person chasing them was filled with malice. This made Lu Xiong suspect that there was something wrong with his beast bloodline.
"When I return this time, I'll have to get used to my beastkin bloodline and bring out my various abilities …"
Lu Xiong secretly decided.
Suddenly, his body trembled as he sensed a strange aura. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the other member of the team who was on guard was lying there without any signs of life.
Whoosh!
Lu Xiong immediately got up and scurried over to investigate. He found that his comrade had only fallen asleep and was snoring faintly.
"Something's wrong!"
This discovery did not make Lu Xiong relax. Instead, he became alarmed.
With his keen sense of hearing, he could tell that the team leader and the others had also fallen asleep. The sound of their breathing was steady and clear.
The members of the Special Ops Team were very vigilant when carrying out missions. It was impossible for them to sleep so soundly.
Suddenly, a figure flew over and threw Lu Xiong's sturdy body to the ground. It was the Black Striped Leopard Raccoon.
Its two-meter long body was like a leopard cat magnified a hundred times. It opened its mouth wide and let out a low growl like a leopard.
"Follow me …"
A voice sounded in Lu Xiong's mind. He widened his eyes. Being thrown to the ground by a Black Striped Leopard Raccoon should have been a very frightening thing.
However, for some reason, Lu Xiong did not feel any fear. It was just that being pressed down by such a vicious beast made him very uncomfortable.
He raised his hand to flip the Black Striped Leopard Raccoon over. Only then did Lu Xiong realize that he had underestimated this vicious beast.
In terms of physical strength, a realm three vicious beast was far stronger than he had imagined …
He could not move it at all!
Lu Xiong was a little anxious. He subconsciously shouted, "You, get down first."
The Black Striped Leopard Raccoon jumped up and scurried to the side. It lay there motionlessly.
Lu Xiong got up and looked at the Black Striped Leopard Raccoon. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. This vicious beast was actually trembling.
"What's going on …"
This situation confused Lu Xiong. What he had encountered tonight was really strange.
Suddenly, Lu Xiong felt that something was wrong. He suddenly turned around and saw a person standing about ten meters away from the temporary camp. He was wearing a black cloak and had a long spear case on his back.
This black-cloaked figure stood there. If he did not see it with his eyes, it would seem that there was no one there.
For a moment, Lu Xiong's scalp went numb. He had never believed in those strange legends. However, seeing this black-cloaked figure, he inexplicably thought of those terrifying stories.
Lu Xiong took a few steps back and looked at the black-cloaked figure warily. Then, his eyes suddenly widened. There was no one in front of him.
"It can't be … I really encountered those strange creatures …" Lu Xiong felt a chill on the back of his neck.
When he turned his head again, he saw the black-cloaked figure on the other side. He was squatting there and rubbing the Black Striped Leopard Raccoon's head.
This realm three vicious beast was like a giant pet. It lay there and obediently let the black-cloaked Leopard Raccoon touch its head.
Lu Xiong could see that the Black Striped Leopard Raccoon did not dare to move …
"It's not good for you to force him to follow like this …"
A voice came from under the black cloak. It sounded like a synthesized voice.
Woo woo …
The Black Striped Leopard Raccoon whimpered as if it was narrating something. Lu Xiong was shocked to find that he actually understood it.
This vicious beast meant that if he did not follow, he would be in danger. That was why it rushed over.
"If it is not necessary, we will not come into contact with living beings from the outside world …"
"Sir, we have no ill intentions towards this descendant of the beast race. He has a special talent. We are worried that he will be …"
The voice from before sounded intermittently, echoing in Lu Xiong's mind.
"I understand. You go back first. I will guide this descendant of the beast race. As for what he chooses, it is up to him … "
The black-cloaked figure said.
The Black Striped Leopard Raccoon growled twice and scurried out. Before leaving, it bowed its head to the black-cloaked figure, as if it was bowing.
The temporary camp quietened down. Lu Xiong stood at the side, his palms soaked with sweat.
Tonight's matter was extremely strange. In front of this black-cloaked figure, he did not dare to act rashly.
"I didn't expect to meet the descendants of these talented creatures on this trip …"
The black-cloaked figure stood up and said, "Descendant of the bear race, come with me. There are some things we need to talk about."
Lu Xiong did not want to go, but he also knew that with his strength, there was no room for resistance.
"Can we change the time? My comrades are still here. They are not safe if I leave … "
He looked at his comrades who were sleeping soundly. After such a big movement, there was no sign of them waking up.
"Come here …"
The black-cloaked figure walked out of the temporary camp, motioned for Lu Xiong to come out, and then snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, the temporary camp in front of him blurred, like the fog in the mountains, and disappeared without a trace.
This scene made Lu Xiong's hair stand on end. He rushed over, but felt as if he had passed through an invisible film.
Then, he returned to the same place …
What's going on?!
Lu Xiong looked at the black-cloaked figure and secretly swallowed his saliva. This was too scary, completely beyond his understanding.
"It's just a small trick, no need to make a fuss." The black-cloaked figure said.
"Just a small trick? Then … Sir, can you teach me? "Lu Xiong said.
The black-cloaked figure looked at Lu Xiong. He did not know if it was an illusion, but Lu Xiong always felt that the eyes under the black cloak seemed to be mocking him.
"With your aptitude, you will not be able to learn it in this lifetime." The black-cloaked figure said again.
Lu Xiong's face darkened. He was hit.
"Let's go. Let's talk as we walk. "
The black-cloaked figure walked in front, heading in the direction of the Black Sea Canyon. Lu Xiong had no choice but to follow behind.
"What's with that black-striped leopard raccoon just now? Why can it speak … "Lu Xiong could not help but ask as he walked.
"It's not that the black-striped leopard raccoon can speak, it's the person who controls it, transmitting its voice."
The black-cloaked figure did not seem to like to explain so much. He looked to the side and said, "About the gifted creature, it's better for you to explain."
Who is he talking to …
Lu Xiong was stunned at first, then his eyes widened. He saw a shadow appear, suspended in mid-air, like a ghost, and could not be seen clearly.
Immediately, Lu Xiong judged that this was not a shadow, but a holographic image.
"A descendant of the bear bloodline, you can call me Mr. Bone." The shadow said.
Then, the illusory figure quickly told him about the Gifted Creatures, as well as the ancient agreement that they had made.
"I've awakened the bloodline of the beast race, so I'm a gifted creature?"
Lu Xiong frowned. Although the awakening of the bloodline of the beast race was rare, such people were not in the minority.
According to Mr. Bone, in ancient times, the strength of the gifted creature was far above that of the beast race.
"Of course it's not that simple. The awakening of the bloodline of the beast race is not considered a descendant of the gifted creature at all. Rather, at the same time as the awakening, one obtains a special ability."
Mr. Bone explained.
Special ability?
Lu Xiong frowned. When his bloodline of the beast race was awakened, the military sent him for a series of examinations. There was no special ability.
"The awakening of your bloodline of the beast race has just begun. According to your breath, it should be less than three months since you awakened the bloodline of the beast race."
The black cloak glanced at him, and his eyes flashed under the cloak. Lu Xiong only felt a chill on his body, as if he had been completely seen through.
"Yes … it will be three months in another ten days … You can feel it just by the breath …"
Lu Xiong replied with a very respectful attitude. The means displayed by the black cloak were really unfathomable, which filled him with awe.
Hayashi River, who was controlling the [Shadow of the Void Bone], smiled. Of course, he could not feel it just by the breath. This was what Lu Xiong had told him personally.
"Let's go. There's a suitable target to practice on. Take this opportunity to let you master this special ability. "
As the black cloak spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed, lifting Lu Xiong up. He leaped up, and like a ghost, disappeared on the mountain path.
"Where to …"
As soon as Lu Xiong opened his mouth, he was blown by the mountain wind. He could only shut his mouth. Looking at the scenery around him rapidly passing by, his heart was trembling.
The black cloak carried him at a speed that was almost as fast as a hover car. Moreover, there was no sound between his steps. This strength was so terrifying …
Half an hour later, the black cloak carried Lu Xiong and came to the edge of the Black Sea Canyon. This speed was many times faster than when Lu Xiong and the others came.
It should be known that when they entered the mountain and touched the Black Sea Canyon, it took them six hours on foot. In the eyes of the special operations team, this was already a very fast speed.
"When can I reach such strength …" The fear in Lu Xiong's heart gradually disappeared, and he actually became envious.
"We're here."
The black cloak's voice came and threw him to the side.
Lu Xiong steadied himself and immediately lay down. Using the rocks as cover, he looked down.
This position was not far from the location of their team's investigation …
"Why are you lying there sneakily?" The black cloak said.
Lu Xiong was stunned. He suddenly realized that there were a few animals around him, but they actually ignored him.
