While he was delighted to find his current location, a few people were advancing toward him. Although their intentions were unknown, all of them have a single goal.
"Hmm… let's also unlock Quick Heal." Without sensing anything off, he continued to do what he was doing.
"Deducting 10 points! Congratulations Host for unlocking Quick Heal service. By spending 10 points, the host can heal any type of wounds or injuries." The system voice informed the ability of Quick Heal.
"Wait, that's it?," he asked in confusion.
"Yes Host. That's the only function of Quick Heal service." the system replied.
"Hah, well it is already good. After all, it can heal any wounds or injuries." he muttered to himself.
On the other side; A group of six men was advancing towards the position of Predacon. Of all six men one looked the youngest, while all others seemed to protect him.
"Hu Ming, how far we've to go." the boy asked one of the men named Hu Ming.
"Report to Young Master, we only need to run another two minutes. Then we will be in the territory of that Black Tiger." The man named Hu Ming answered respectfully.
"Do you really think that a Thousand Year old Black Tiger will remain in one place for an entire month? He may have moved out." the boy questioned.
"Don't worry Young Master. We've already seen that beast five days ago, that's why we were sure. Also, with the Elder brother here we need not to worry about that beast. Elder Brother Hu Xiao is already a 49 level soul sect and his strength rivaled that of a soul king. For him, a thousand year soul beast is no more than a slight warm up." One of the men answered the boy, while telling not to worry about facing a thousand year soul beast.
The boy didn't say anything, just nodded slightly looking at the man leading in front.
While they were advancing rapidly, Predacon was still looking at the system's panel.
Currently, he is in a dilemma. After unlocking three of the services only 80 points remained. But the shop service is still locked and it needs 50 points to unlock.
"What should I do? If I unlock the shop, only 30 points will remain which probably will not be enough to buy anything from the shop. If not, then we don't know what type of situation will be in that maybe we need the Shop." He pondered.
After pondering for a few more seconds, he decided not to unlock. After all, currently he has every function by which he can survive.
After settling everything, he lay down to rest. But after a few minutes, a rustling sound came which jolted him awake.
He stood up and got in a defensive stance, looking around he found nothing except a few birds. But he knew that something was off.
Suddenly he looked towards the corpse of Black Tiger and realised his mistake. He should have disposed of the Black Tiger, because it seemed like that some soul beast came here smelling the scent of Black Tiger's blood.
Although he is correct in a sense, the current situation is not like that. Because those six men were hiding in a bush just 100 m away from him.
"Brother, what should we do now? The Black Tiger we were going to hunt for Young Master's third soul ring is killed by that strange beast." One of the short men asked the leading man.
"Wait a moment! Look carefully at that strange soul beast. Though he looked like a Dragon, that soul beast is not a dragon, because the dragon carried a natural might that instilled fear in the weaker opponent." Hu Xiao said.
After hearing Hu Xiao's words, everyone in the team also realised this.
"So, what do we do now? Our target is already killed and this soul beast is also not suitable for Young Master. It is better for us to find our next target quickly and avoid this soul beast." One of the thin men suggested.
Some of the men also supported him, after all this strange beast is something they had never seen. So, it is better to avoid causing trouble.
"Listen everyone! We had already come this far and returning empty hands may anger the sect master. So, I have a proposal. Why not capture this soul beast and present our sect master. We may get a reward from him." Hu Xiao proposed.
After hearing the leading man's words, all people present doubt that he can fight that strange beast.
"Look, I understand your concerns. You may doubt how I can fight that strange beast? Or what if that strange beast is ten thousand years old? But I can confidently tell you that that soul beast isn't even a thousand years old. That beast's maximum cultivation is no more than Five Hundred years. So, what do you all say?" He shared the information of Predacon and the reason why he was confident enough to deal with him.
"Hehe, I'm in. No matter what we can't return empty handed can we?" One of the men agreed to the proposal of the leading man.
"I'm also in."
"I also..."
Just like this, all five of them agreed. Only the boy remained silent.
"Young Master, please wait for a few minutes. We will just knock out this beast then we can go to look for another soul beast suitable for your soul ring." The man said to the boy.
Hearing this the boy sighed, "Hu Xiao, remember to make it quick otherwise forget about reward, you will get only punishment."
"Haha, sure, sure. I'll remember Young Master." Hu Xiao replied to the boy.
Seeing their leader curry favour with a young boy, a few of the teammates were stunned. Yet none dared to speak out, because their leader is famous for his ruthless behaviour and those who belittle him had ended up dying.
"Let's go." After telling the young boy to be careful, he leads the man to subdue the strange soul beast.
While these people devised their plan, Predacon also found out about their existence.
"Damn it, why my luck seems shitty. I just got transmigrated here and one after another trouble came to find me. Damn it, damn it!" After knowing that there are other people here, he cursed in his mind. Because he knew how cruel humans are. In fact, the soul beast is much more understandable than humans.
"Congratulations Host for triggering an immediate Quest. Defeat the enemies ahead" While he was thinking of a way to escape, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"What? I've to defeat all of them. No, no you must be kidding." Predacon shouted in his mind. There is a reason for his disbelief, after all a team venturing in the Star Dou Forest must not be weak. And he found there are Six people ahead in which Five of them were slightly weaker than Black Tiger. But, human strength cannot be measured by their individual strength, but by their total team strength. Like if a team of five came to hunt soul beast, they must have one Attack type, one control type, one support type and two agility type soul masters. This is just an average data, the number can be increased or decreased. But even so, this will make their entire team more powerful.
"Please take a look at the Quest." The system ignored his shouting and projected a screen containing information on the Quest.
QUEST; -
Main Objective: - Defeat the Five soul masters who were conspiring to capture you!
Reward: - Skill [Appraisal] {Tier- III}
Penalty: - None
Completion %: - 85%
Failure %: - 15%
After looking carefully and seeing completion rate, he finally decided to fight for it. The first reason is that the skill is rewarded by the system and the second reason...
Looking around, five people were surrounding him. He had nowhere to escape for now.
"Well, let's fight. I'm not a coward, I'm predacon." He made up his mind to finish them after all he wasn't just simply a soul beast. He is a predacon, who can even hunt Primes.
The team of Five people that were leading by Hu Xiao also readied himself.
Because, a battle was about to happen. A battle between Man and Beast. A battle that will eventually be fought.
