The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 983

The afternoon sun in the desert was blistering hot, and the dry wind had picked up, turning the whole region into a crude facsimile of a blast furnace.

Karl considered calling a stop so that they could rest in the cooled shelter of the carriage, but Thor was loving the heat and sun on his scales. To the Cerro turned behemoth, this was as good as a spa day.

He was even singing to himself, a warbling bugle of happiness, as he trotted along the sand.

Only when the sun started to go down did Karl instruct him to pull into a relatively sheltered spot for the evening, so they could rest.

Once it was dark, Rae would take over the watch, and until she was ready for her evening duties, the Lamia Bodyguards would keep watch. Their species also liked the heat, and weren't as inclined to wetlands as the Naga were. The Naga, Remi included, did fine in the heat. But the sand irritated them on a deeply personal level.

"Do you think it was so quiet today because of the Sand Worm? Normally, any wilderness area at least has some roaming monsters." Lotus asked as they sat down for dinner.

Karl nodded. "That sounds likely. That thing was huge, so it would have a big appetite. Once we're out of its territory, we should start seeing more monsters. Maybe we will find a desert cat."

Tessa burst into laughter. "Don't encourage her. Now that she has a Class Skill to make animals not run away from her, she's definitely going to go after the first fluffy thing that she sees."

Karl shrugged. "I do still have one more beast space open. The power level out here is supposed to be the highest we have seen so far, so we might luck out and find another sibling." _{freewebnøvel.com}

Rae tapped the table. "I will have you know, we have standards. We're not taking in just any fluffy creature."

[Yeah, it has to be Fluffy and Powerful.] Cara agreed.

[And we need a brother. We can't just let the sisters overwhelm us like this.] Hawk added.

[Oh, we should find one with healing skills. An extra healer would be good now that the Lotus Tree keeps getting stuck in one spot.] Thor added through the mental link.

Dana poked Karl. "You're talking to everyone in your head again."

Karl shrugged. "They're discussing what sort of sibling they want next. There isn't a consensus yet. But they have some standards."

Rae nodded in agreement. "We need to find something that is preferably Totem Ranked as an infant. That way it can grow up to be Mythic, and we can all follow its lead."

Dana smiled. "You think that we're going to find a Totem Ranked infant here? And how do you propose that we get it away from its mother?"

Rae smirked. "Let me worry about that part. First we need to find one."

Lotus was riveted to the conversation. "Totem Ranked infant? Does that mean we get a dragon? Another dragon, I mean."

Nachtia laughed. "I suspect that there would be severe fallout if Karl stole a baby dragon.
