Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 147

"One more thing," Lin added before leaving. "When the time comes to talk to Julius, let me prepare the ground first. As I said, he's trustworthy, but even he might have a strange reaction when he learns a first-year student achieved something supposed to be exclusive to royalty."

The silence that followed Lin's departure was heavy.

Min, Liu, and Taro watched Ren with concern, their excitement diminished by the metaphorical rain falling on his achievement while he remained unusually still, apparently lost in thought.

"Hey," Min began, "it's not so bad, you just need to keep the hydra secret for a while and…"

He stopped when a big smile began forming on Ren's lips.

"Lin..." Ren murmured, his smile growing. "Lin was so worried about the hydra issue that she..."

His eyes suddenly lit up with a mischievous realization.

"SHE FORGOT ABOUT MY TRAINING!" he jumped from his bed with explosive energy. "This is our best chance!"

"Oh no," Taro recognized that look. "Oh no, no, no..."

Ren grabbed Taro by the shoulders, his new muscles enhanced by the stacked 60% buff making his grip surprisingly firm for a 10-year-old.

"Ren!" Taro blinked in surprise. "Since when are you this strong?"

"Fifty percent extra strength increase..." Liu reminded him.

Ren practically glowed with excitement. "This time we don't need an elaborate distraction like last time!"

"Last time?" Min narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"I wanted to start gathering materials for the hydra and my world mushroom's next level but they'll have to wait... We need to seize this morning!" Ren was already dragging Taro toward the door. "The ruins await us!"

"Wait!" Taro tried to resist, but Ren's new buff made it surprisingly difficult. "Shouldn't we at least discuss what you want to do or...?"

"There is no time to talk!" Ren was already running down the hallway, dragging a resigned Taro by the arm. "Lin could remember about our training at any moment!"

Min and Liu looked at each other for a moment.

"Should we...?" Liu began.

"Follow those idiots before they get into trouble?" Min sighed while his snake coiled nervously. "Probably."

In Yino territory...

Morning light barely illuminated the path when a figure crawled out of a mine.

Its anthropomorphic silhouette was grotesque: where arms should be, two enormous scorpion pincers moved erratically.

The guard at the entrance noticed the movement and raised his lamp, tense and prepared to face a threat.

The light revealed a disturbing sight: a man covered in dirt and dried blood, his uniform in tatters.

The guard's initial tension dissipated upon recognizing the characteristic marks on the uniform of a Yino abyssal soldier, though he'd never seen one in such poor condition.

"Registration?" the guard asked automatically, following protocol despite the obviously abnormal situation. "I need to note the materials that..."

The scorpion pincers vanished, revealing stumps where the man's arms should be. His blood-shot eyes tried to focus on the guard before his body finally gave out.

The soldier collapsed at the entrance, his last incoherent mumblings about lost cores and stolen eggs.

"By all the..." the healer stopped upon seeing Hagen's condition. "What in hell happened here?" _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
