On the desolate plains, several Tiger Clan Beastkin gathered around, with the clan scion cautiously surveying the surroundings.
"Clan Scion, what do we do now?"
"The Divine Pattern will not appear for another five days, we can’t just sit and wait, can we?"
"The Angel Race and Ghost Race have already declared that anyone who approaches the Trial Grounds will be their enemy!"
The Tiger Clan Scion considered these words for a mont before speaking slowly:
"The Trial Grounds are a no-go; going there would just be asking for trouble!"
He paused, a gleam flashing in his eyes, "However, this could actually be a good thing."
"A good thing?"
The surrounding Tiger Clan mbers exchanged glances.
"At least it shows that the Angel Race and Ghost Race are not interested in the Divine Pattern of the Human Race."
There was a hint of calculation in his deep voice:
"In that case, the ones truly yearning for the Divine Pattern are only us Xenos and the Human Race!"
"But among the Xenos, almost none would fight tooth and nail with us, so our main opponents... are the Human Race!"
The Tiger Clan Beastkin nodded in agreent to his words.
"Clan Scion, what should we do next?"
The Tiger Clan Scion’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he slowly spoke:
"Since the Human Race is the biggest competitor, then we will..."
His voice suddenly turned icy, "capture a batch of Humans!"
"rcy is the Human Race’s greatest weakness." He sneered, "As long as we use these hostages as leverage..."
Imdiately, the surrounding Tiger Clan mbers beca excited, their eyes gleaming with a cruel light.
"As expected of the Clan Scion! Quick thinking indeed!"
"When the ti cos, the Human Race will surely hand over the Divine Pattern obediently!"
However, just then...
"Swoosh!"
A dark green vine lashed through the air like a venomous snake!
The Scion’s pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly retreated several yards, barely evading the deadly strike.
But the Tiger Clan warrior beside him was not so lucky. The vine pierced through his chest in an instant, and the visible essence of his flesh and blood was devoured wildly, leaving only a shriveled shell in the blink of an eye.
"Who goes there?!"
The Tiger Clan bristled in alarm.
Aster Grant appeared with Crystal Winslow from the shadows.
"Capture Humans?"
He had not intended to cause trouble for these Xenos, yet they were plotting against the Human Race!
Under Vera’s detection, he had spotted this group from afar.
And this was the strongest group of Xenos he had encountered during this ti.
Aster Grant surveyed around, almost all were of Legendary Level.
Except for the Tiger in the lead....
[Tiger Clan (Scion)]
[Level: Extraordinary Tier Nine]
[Talent: Half-Step Myth]
[Power: 2800]
[Constitution: 2600]
[Spiritual: 2400]
[Speed: 2700]
[Skills: Tiger King Bloodline...]
Aster Grant squinted slightly at the Tiger Clan Scion’s information.
The Tiger Clan’s Scion!
Killing him outright seed a bit wasteful!
Aster’s mind suddenly conceived an idea.
If captured alive...
Couldn’t he demand a sizeable ransom from the Tiger Clan, perhaps?
The more Aster thought about it, the more ingenious the idea seed.
In the Sanctum, killing outright might yield so materials, but if captured alive...
His finger gently stroked his chin.
"A Tiger Clan Scion should be worth at least a few thousand High-level Star Stones, right?"
Only...
"Crystal, if we capture this Tiger Clan, do you have any way to take him with us?"
Capturing the Tiger Clan wasn’t hard, but keeping him around was more of a hassle.
"We could inscribe a temporary Slave Contract and confine him in my Beastbond Space."
"However... the duration is only seven days."
Crystal thought for a mont and offered a solution.
Aster’s eyes lit up at her words.
Seven days was more than enough.
anwhile, the Tiger Clan Scion, seeing these two Humans completely ignoring him and discussing capturing him alive, was instantly enraged.
"Humans, aren’t you being too arrogant!"
"Don’t think that with that Angel of yours...."
The sentence was unfinished before the Scion’s eyes narrowed sharply.
He rembered sothing...
Before entering the Sanctum this ti, his father had specifically warned him.
In the City of Chaos, there was a Human who had contracted an exceptionally terrifying Angel!
As long as he avoided this Human, with his strength, there were few who could pose a threat to him.
At this mont, he stiffly raised his head to look at the sky.
The six holy wings of Lazuli glimred brightly under the sunlight.
The Clan Scion of the Tiger Clan gulped with difficulty, his beastly pupils contracting violently.
No way... could I be this unlucky?
"Human..."
His voice involuntarily dropped a few pitches, "There’s no deep-seated hatred between us; if we truly fight, it will only end in mutual destruction. Why not... leave each other alone?"
The Tiger Clan warriors behind him, however, completely unaware of the atmosphere’s change, continued to boast arrogantly:
"Clan Scion, it’s just a re human, you can crush him with a flick of a finger!"
"Exactly! Daring to appear alone in front of us, he’s simply courting death!"
"Even if he has so skills, with so many of our brothers here, we’re afraid of him?"
Aster Grant ignored the group of Tiger Clan mbers who couldn’t see the situation clearly, his gaze fixed on the Clan Scion.
Mutual destruction?!
He lazily raised his hand and waved lightly towards Vera in the air.
"Natural Lant."
In an instant, countless dark green vines burst from the ground, entwining like living creatures.
Even though Vera doesn’t activate the "Elf Monarchy" status, dealing with the Clan Scion indeed takes so effort, but dealing with this group of ordinary Tigers with just Legendary Talent...
It’s like cutting through vegetables!
"Roar—!"
A few Tiger Clan mbers tried to struggle, their claws wildly tearing at the vines.
But soon, their roars were drowned in the surging green tide.
In just a few breaths, the originally noisy plain was left with only the solitary Clan Scion standing.
Cold sweat instantly stread down the Clan Scion’s forehead.
That strike just now, even if he faced it, he wouldn’t have fared well.
But...
His gaze shifted to the Nature Elf in the air.
That seed to be... just a casual strike from this Beastbond!
And at this mont, Aster Grant asked with a semi-smile:
"Now..."
"Do you want to obediently sign the contract, or wait until I beat you half to death before signing?"
Hearing these words, the Clan Scion’s pupils shrank violently.
Though filled with imnse fear, the dignity of the Tiger Clan...
"It seems you’ve chosen the second option, Lazuli!"
"Wait! I choose the contract!"
The Clan Scion almost shouted, his voice filled with unprecedented panic.
His reaction was astonishingly quick, fearing that a second delay would...
However.
"Ah—!"
A piercing tiger’s howl echoed through the plain, and the Clan Scion heavily knelt on the ground, his two hind legs twisted at a bizarre angle.
He trembled as he looked up, his golden beastly eyes full of disbelief:
"You..."
Aster Grant innocently spread his hands:
"You spoke too slow."
The Clan Scion’s eyes burned with the fire of humiliation, yet under Lazuli’s cold stare, he had no choice but to lower his proud head.
As the contract rune from Crystal Winslow’s fingertips embedded into his forehead, a dusky blue mark slowly surfaced on his brow.
"The contract is established."
Crystal Winslow withdrew her hand, her tone indifferent.
Seeing this, Aster Grant satisfiedly curved his lips into a smile.
This is Star Stone!
The Human Race lacks this thing!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have established a points system for exchange!
After the contract was completed, the Tiger Clan Scion disclosed the location of the Ultimate Fire Domain as well.
Knowing the location of the Ultimate Fire Domain, he would inevitably take Lazuli there.
But capturing the Xenos...
Cannot be left aside!
After briefly pondering, Aster Grant spoke into the air:
"Veridia, capture all the Demigod Race within the Sanctum!"
"Understood."
A cold female voice ca from The Void, yet no figure was seen.
Aster Grant turned his gaze to Crystal Winslow.
To complete this plan, her contract ability is indispensable.
Crystal Winslow bit her lip, her fingertips unconsciously clutching her sleeve.
Though reluctant to leave Aster Grant’s side, she knew this wasn’t the ti to be willful.
Nodding slightly, she agreed.
Not until Crystal Winslow’s figure disappeared into the spatial rift did Aster Grant withdraw his gaze.
With Scarlett there, he didn’t have to worry about the safety of a few people.
Even if they encountered the strongest Blood Progenitor, even if they couldn’t win....
They would still be able to retreat safely!
Subsequently, Aster Grant’s gaze fell on the south of the Sanctum.
That’s where the Ultimate Fire Domain is located!
And also where Lazuli’s evolution materials are located!
