Chapter 24 Closer Ties, Unlock New Skills!

Buried?

Hearing this, everyone’s face went blank, not knowing what to say next.

Xie Heji was the first to see the light. However, he could not understand these words. Was this person alright? Did he know what he was saying?

“Hahahaha! Brother, are you alright? Do you think the criminals are earthworms? You buried them just like that?” Han Nan could not help but burst into laughter.

It was not that he wanted to attract hatred. It was just that the words of this person in front of him were too funny. He was clearly hiding behind a woman just a moment ago, and now he was boasting shamelessly. Han Nan, who was also a man, felt that he needed to mock Yu Guang a few times on behalf of all men.

He laughed so hard that tears were streaming down his face. He took the documents and roughly read through them. He laughed even harder.

It was not enough for him to laugh, he was even prepared to pull Lucia along so that they could laugh together. “Big sister, look, two fugitives who have escaped from two provinces! He actually dared to say that he had buried the criminals who had escaped from the hands of our seniors. Hahaha!”

Lucia forced the corners of her mouth, but she couldn’t laugh. After all, Cui Anyu had let her off earlier. She had accepted the favor, so she couldn’t laugh at that person’s partner. She would not do such an unkind thing.

“It’s not funny! Stop that!” Lucia pushed Han Nan aside and stepped back in disgust.

Lucia, feeling even more embarrassed, snatched the document and browsed through it. She then raised her head and said to Cui Anyu, “Well, the target fugitives this time are a little dangerous. They’ve been on the run and have even killed people before. It’s best if you don’t let your partner join since he’s a beastmaster without a subdued beast. We won’t be able to save him in time.”

The look in his eyes that resembled a beast during the battle flashed in her mind. She thought it was just an illusion. However, her suggestion was sincere.

When Xie Heji heard that Yu Guang was a beastmaster without a subdued beast, his slightly widened eyes carried a hint of surprise. However, with Le Tai’s hint, he didn’t say anything to stop Lucia. Instead, he placed his hands behind his back and waited for Cui Anyu’s decision.

“No, I don’t think so,” Cui Anyu said calmly and firmly. “I believe Yu Guang’s words. There’s no need for him to lie like that. Besides, I know his strength the best. He’s completely capable of carrying out this search mission!”

As she spoke, Cui Anyu tilted her head to steal a glance at Yu Guang. She just happened to meet Yu Guang’s gaze and quickly moved away awkwardly.

“But he doesn’t have a familiar,” Lucia reminded her. Then, she turned to Xie Heji for help and asked him to speak up for her.

Xie Heji casually echoed, “That’s right. He doesn’t have a familiar.”

Cui Anyu looked straight into Xie Heji’s eyes and said without hesitation, “Chief, if you won’t allow Yu Guang to participate, then there’s no need for you to make me the team leader.”

Her words basically meant that she wanted to advance and retreat with Yu Guang, or else she would just give up.

Xie Heji didn’t care much and said, “Alright, if you say so, then so be it. After all, you’re an S-rank.”

“Alright, alright.” Lucia really hated the way Xie Heji favored people. Although she had enjoyed special treatment before, she was just unhappy.

She was too lazy to say anything else. She waved her hand and said, “Then let’s go together. Whoever proposes will be responsible!”

After arguing for a long time, Xie Heji was still the same. He clapped his hands and said, “Since you’ve decided, you should set off soon. Don’t act on your own when you encounter special situations. Be careful!”

“Understood!” Cui Anyu nodded as the team leader.

“Everyone, take a fifteen-minute break and set off immediately!” She immediately gave her first order and properly arranged her team members.

Lucia and Han Nan were indeed a little tired, so they took this opportunity to recover their strength. The two of them sat down cross-legged and closed their eyes to meditate.

“Yu Guang, what’s wrong?” Cui Anyu noticed Yu Guang who was at the side. When they were arguing just now, Yu Guang did not say a word as if he was air.

She noticed that Yu Guang was looking at a certain point in the air, his gaze serious but also a little dazed.

In fact, Yu Guang was currently looking at the system interface.

[ Congratulations to host and subdued beast for completing the first battle and obtaining victory! ]

( Familiarity with subdued beast + 10 ]

[ Unlocked third skill: Combined Attack ]

( Intimate contact with subdued beast, combined attack, effect doubled. ]

The closer a subdued beast was to a beastmaster, the better the effect. Even though Cui Anyu was a human, this was no exception.

Just as Yu Guang thought the upgrade was over, the system’s dialog box popped up again.

[ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a god-tier subdued beast bait! ]

It’s here!

The reward that Yu Guang had been waiting for a long time finally dropped!

A beastmaster could hold multiple subdued beasts in one go, but that would only happen if their cultivation was fruitful. When an ordinary beastmaster tamed the second subdued beast, they would need to be separated from the first by at least five years.

Otherwise, it would be very easy for the two subdued beasts to bite them back.

However, with the god-tier beast bait, Yu Guang immediately shortened the time between them!

He touched the chocolate-like beast bait that had already appeared in his pocket. He felt his heart almost jump out of his chest in excitement.

The system then displayed: ( Skill four: contract the second subdued beast and unlock it. ]

That’s great!

Yu Guang was so happy that he felt like a flower had bloomed in his heart. As expected, this combat test had not been in vain!

“Yu Guang, are you okay?” Cui Anyu could not help but ask worriedly when she saw that he had a serious expression on one moment and a beaming smile on the other.

“Ah? I’m fine.” Yu Guang had a smile on the corner of his lips and even found Cui Anyu to be a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Cui Anyu saw that he was in a good mood and that he was indeed fine, so she stopped asking.

“It’s good that he’s fine. Let’s get ready to set

off.”

Fifteen minutes was enough for Lucia and Han Nan to recover most of their strength. The two of them opened their eyes and got up from the ground. Lucia did not forget to clip up half of her hair.

The four people who were still fighting a few minutes ago stood on the same side. The more they got along with each other, the more Han Nan disliked Yu Guang. He was not a person who liked to stir up trouble. It was better to avoid trouble in his life.

However, Yu Guang hid behind a woman during the battle. After he won, he jumped out to brag. Every man looked down on his attitude.

Therefore, he did not speak kindly to Yu Guang. “Hey, since you said that you just came down from Guotong Mountain, why don’t you lead the way?”

“Okay.” Yu Guang agreed. “I found a shortcut earlier.”

Hearing his words, Han Nan grimaced in disdain. He rolled her eyes and complained in his heart, “Are they monkeys? They really climbed up the pole.”

To his surprise, Yu Guang did not take the main road or take a taxi. Instead, he led them through the old houses quickly.

Soon, the four of them stood at the foot of Guotong Mountain, listening to the sound of the waterfall.
