Chapter 285: The Netherworld Phantom Cat That Shaves its Fur Crazily
After leaving Barnard’s office, Lugh met the city guard of Blue Star City.
Morton was a Silver-tier Beast Master who had become a First Lieutenant in Blue Star City. He was thirty-seven years old this year.
His missing son’s name was Austin. Austin hadn’t awakened his talent as a Beast Master, so he was studying in an ordinary high school in Blue Star City.
When Morton saw Lugh, he was slightly surprised. When he saw Lugh’s armband, he was even more surprised.
However, he still bowed respectfully to Lugh.
“First Lieutenant Morton, this is the Captain of the 14th Team of the Emergency Response Team, Lugh,” Barnard’s adjutant introduced. “Captain Lugh will be in charge of the investigation. The Vice-Captain hopes that you can follow Captain Lugh to Blue Star City.”
“Yes!” Morton said excitedly.
“Follow me.”
“Yes, Major.”
After returning to the 14th Team, they found Gary and Lucy. After they were briefed on the mission, the 14th Team officially a.s.sembled.
Lugh simply told them that the 14th Team received an order to go to Blue Star City to investigate a missing person case.
Although the other 70 members of the 14th Team were a little confused, they still followed the order.
Half an hour later, Gary and Lucy made their preparations and made the necessary arrangements.
After ensuring that they left, the 14th Team continued to operate in an orderly manner.
Lugh stood in the small square, looking at the over 70 Beast Masters who were ready to go. He was very satisfied with them.
He turned around and walked to the front. Gary and Lucy followed closely behind, while the other Beast Masters followed Lugh out of the 14th Team’s camp.
The Stormhawk that Lugh summoned flew straight into the sky.
Lucy also summoned the Black-Gold Eagle, and Lugh jumped onto it without hesitation.
The Silver-tier Beast Master of Blue Star City was placed on Gary’s flying mount.
The other 70 summoned their flying-type pet beasts.
“Let’s go.”
The Black-Gold Eagle flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. Behind it, more than seventy flying-type pets followed closely behind.
Many members of the Emergency Response Team saw the 14th Emergency Response Team.
“Is the 14th Emergency Response Team a.s.signed with some big mission?”
“It seems to be true. Captain Lugh is personally leading the team, and Gary is also here.”
“This seems to be their first big mission, right?”
“That’s right!”
…
Within the Emergency Response Team, Barnard stood by the window and saw the 14th Emergency Response Team.
He didn’t think too much about it and didn’t worry too much.
Since the mission had already been arranged, he could only trust Lugh and the others.
Barnard only hoped that the 14th Emergency Response Team would successfully complete their first mission and not suffer too many losses.
[Ding! Mission announcement: Thoroughly investigate Blue Star City, annihilate the Black Feather Organization in Blue Star City, as well as other external forces, implicating people.]
[Ding! Mission reward: Randomly increase the talent of a pet beast by one level and comprehend a skill.]
The late mission had appeared.
Lugh had long realized that the system’s mission announcements were somewhat random.
Not every time he encountered a powerful enemy, he would trigger the mission.
However, when the Southwest Military Department gave him a mission, the system would usually give him the same mission.
However, when the Southwest Military Department gave him a mission, the system would usually give him the same mission and give Lugh a reward.
Lugh sat on the back of the Black-Gold Eagle. It was the flattest spot with the best view. Lucy stayed behind him.
With the Stormhawk patrolling above, the entire team could rest easy.
Lugh’s heart relaxed slightly.
He rubbed his hands together and asked Lucy, “How’s the training of your Netherworld Phantom Cat?”
“Its talent is very good. It recently broke through to Middle-tier Platinum.”
Speaking of this, Lucy’s cold eyes were filled with traces of joy.
“Let me take a look.”
She hesitated for a moment before releasing the Netherworld Phantom Cat.
Just as the Netherworld Phantom Cat was released, it saw a large hand grabbing towards it.
Under its b.e.s.t.i.a.l instincts, it immediately wanted to bite the seemingly weak and defenseless large human hand.
“Don’t bite!” Lucy ordered loudly.
However, it was too late. The Netherworld Phantom Cat still bit down.
The Netherworld Phantom Cat’s loyalty to Lucy was not high to begin with.
Under the influence of its wild ambition, it did not listen to Lucy’s orders.
The Netherworld Phantom Cat imagined that any enemy would be bitten to pieces by its sharp teeth.
However, when it bit down on the palm, it began to suspect its cat life.
The palm was soft.
However, its sharp teeth could not break through no matter how hard it bit.
Sharp claws that were like blades shot out from its four paws.
On the sharp claws, the wind-type ability fluctuated violently. The Netherworld Phantom Cat scratched the arm thirty-seven times in a breath’s time at a speed that would make one’s eyes blur.
The clothes on the arm were scratched into strips of cloth.
But the arm was intact, only slightly red.
The Netherworld Phantom Cat attacked continuously. Its only achievement was to shave off all the hair on the arm.
That’s right.
The owner of this arm was Lugh.
Bored, he thought of Lucy’s Netherworld Phantom Cat.
The Netherworld Phantom Cat was similar to the house cats on Earth. It was also very small and had a body full of black, smooth, and shiny fur.
The first time Lugh saw the Netherworld Phantom Cat, he had a strong urge to stroke the cat.
“This kitten is really naughty.”
Lugh looked at his smooth arm and said, “My hair has been shaved off by it.”
The Netherworld Phantom Cat was already suspecting its entire life.
It even suspected that it had been affected by a powerful illusion.
Whether it had been affected by an illusion in the first half of its life or was now affected by an illusion, it was a little silly and could not tell.
Lucy’s heart was also filled with shock.
She knew that the Netherworld Phantom Cat would never be able to pose a real threat to Lugh.
But it did not even scratch a single layer of Lugh’s skin, which made her very uncomfortable.
Was she that weak?
Regardless of the pain and grievance, Lucy did not show it.
Only the weak could show such an expression.
She, Lucy, was very strong. She had to learn to be strong.
The Netherworld Phantom Cat tilted its head and stared at its claws. It extended its tongue, which was full of barbs, and gently licked the tip of its claws.
Its sharp claws made a cut on the Netherworld Phantom Cat’s tongue. Fresh blood instantly gushed out.
The Netherworld Phantom Cat raised its head and stared at the young man in front of it. It swallowed a mouthful of blood.
“Hahaha…” Lugh stretched out his hands and carried the Netherworld Phantom Cat to his knees. He rubbed its head and laughed. “Adjutant Lucy, your Netherworld Phantom Cat is so cute. It’s so silly and cute.”
Silly and cute?
Lucy pursed her lips and did not dare to speak.
If it was anyone else who dared to comment on her Netherworld Phantom Cat, she would let them know what cruelty was.
But if it was Lugh who commented on it, then it would be stupid and cute.
“Ah, the cat is a little naughty this time.”
Lucy looked over and saw four sharp claw marks on the abdomen of Lugh’s military uniform.
It was obvious that the Netherworld Phantom Cat was in Lugh’s arms just now and had launched another sneak attack unwillingly.
In the end, it was still useless.
Lugh grabbed the Netherworld Phantom Cat’s head with one hand. With just a little force, the Netherworld Phantom Cat felt that its head was about to be crushed by that huge force.
It twisted its four limbs crazily, trying to break free from Lugh’s restraints.
But Lugh was like a mountain, not moving at all.
The Netherworld Phantom Cat’s skull began to transform under the immense force.
It knew that if it continued, it would be dead for sure.
With no other choice, it could only grab onto the last straw and ask its Master for help.
“Major, let it go.”
“Alright, for your sake, I’ll let it go once. This time, I’ll only pluck one of your whiskers.”
The large hand let go, and the Netherworld Phantom Cat collapsed in Lugh’s arms, panting heavily.
Now, it didn’t even have the courage to look up at Lugh.
This human was too terrifying.
It glanced at Lucy, grat.i.tude rising in its heart.
However, at this moment, Lugh spoke.
“We still have to punish it.” Lugh reached out his hand to the Netherworld Phantom Cat’s whiskers. “Let’s pull out one of its whiskers.”
The Netherworld Phantom Cat felt a sharp pain at the side of its mouth and a black whisker left it.
When Lugh threw the whisker into the air, the Netherworld Phantom Cat still reached out its claws to catch the whisker, regardless of whether the whisker had gone with the wind.
Its paw rested weakly on Lugh’s leg.
