Chapter 235: Beast God Cult

Xu Xiaoxiao sat beside Lugh and said in a low voice, “But I still want Sister Katya.”

“If we have the chance in the future, we can go back and visit them.”

Xu Xiaoxiao looked up at Lugh. “Really?”

“Of course. When Big Brother is strong enough in the future, I’ll fly you back directly.”

“Can I sit on Big Brother’s big eagle?”

“When the time comes, I’ll discuss with it. Since you’re my sister, it should agree.”

Xu Xiaoxiao stretched out her little finger. “Let’s pinky swear.”

After staying at home with his family for three days, Lugh had just returned to the military camp when he was stopped by Elisa.

“Lugh, there’s a more troublesome mission here. I need you to lead a team to go. You’re the most suitable for this mission in the entire 7th Team.”

Lugh had led a team on two missions, and his performance was extremely excellent, far exceeding Elisa’s expectations.

The members of his team had a very high opinion of him, which made Elisa think highly of him.

“What mission?”

“Take a look at this information.” Elisa handed Lugh a document bag. “Sit there and take your time.”

Lugh sat on the sofa and opened the document bag.

It was a document about the Beast God Cult.

Lugh’s expression became serious when he saw the words ‘Beast God Cult’.

Back when he was studying in Seven Star City, the textbook had mentioned this extremely active cult.

It recorded in detail how the members of the Beast God Cult had used the knowledge and spirit-type Divine Beasts of the cult to brainwash and hypnotize ordinary people, soldiers, and even Beast Masters within the borders of the Illumination Empire, it also recorded the various evil deeds they had committed by manipulating these believers.

The things they had committed were something only Lugh could imagine. There was nothing they couldn’t do.

After reading through those shocking crimes, Lugh took a deep breath.

With a spirit-type Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly in his hand, Lugh knew very well how destructive the spirit-type abilities and religious knowledge would be when combined with this dangerous world.

“Are you done reading?”

“Yes.”

“The Beast God Cult has always been inactive in our Southwest. However, yesterday, our Skylight City received a report from Nanyu City. The report said that recently, members of the Beast God Cult had appeared in their city and were spreading the teachings of the Beast God Cult. Nanyu city has already begun to investigate.”

Elisa said, “Captain Bania takes this matter very seriously. He hopes that our 7th Team can transfer some extremely elite members to Nanyu City to assist in the investigation. At the same time, we can monitor the progress of their investigation.”

Elisa said seriously, “Your Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly is not weak and you are especially good at tracking. I think you are the best candidate to lead the team.”

Thinking of the documents and bloody pictures of the Beast God Cult, Lugh nodded firmly. “Sure!”

Indeed, the Beast God Cult had no reason to exist.

“The main purpose of your trip this time is to supervise and cooperate with the investigation of Nanyu City. Although the risk should not be high, you have to be careful. The ability of the spirit system is extremely strange. You should be clear about it.”

“Okay.”

“The mission will depart at 10 am tomorrow morning. There happens to be a centipede train.”

The speed of the centipede train was not much slower than riding on a Gold-grade flying-type pet.

With the conductor around, it was even safer.

It was also tonight that Lugh met his team members.

The members of the team were Bruce, Colin, Owen, and Anderson.

They didn’t know if Elisa had arranged it on purpose, but Lugh had helped them capture the beasts before.

Bruce and Colin were old teammates, especially.

When they saw Lugh, they were full of smiles.

They knew Lugh’s ability and strength, as well as his battle record.

Lugh had also helped them capture excellent pet beasts, so they were very convinced of him.

Seeing this small team configuration, Lugh was relieved.

They were quite strong, experienced, and easier to command, because there would be no problems.

At nine o’clock, Lugh and his group left the military camp on time.

At nine-thirty, they arrived at the train battle.

Lugh and his group of five were dressed neatly in military uniforms, carrying suitcases. They stood on platform 007 of the train, looking very eye-catching.

Lugh, in particular, was young, handsome, and had a calm and serious temperament. He stood in front of the others, and the other four felt that he was in the lead, which made him even more eye-catching.

Many people who were waiting for the centipede train, intentionally or unintentionally, would also glance at them.

“I wonder when the train will arrive?”

“It’s already two hours late.”

“Isn’t it normal for the train to be late? I’ve never met a train that’s not late.”

“Look, that soldier brother is so handsome. Do you want to get to know him?”

“Don’t be infatuated. It’s impossible for him to think highly of you.”

“Why? I think I’m pretty.”

“Look, his military uniform is a member of the Emergency Response Team. He’s at least a Gold-tier Beast Master, not an ordinary soldier.”

…

When the commoners said the train would be late, that was because they didn’t know the exact time the train would arrive in Skylight City.

Three minutes after ten o’clock, the centipede train slowly came to a stop. The door slowly opened and the passengers began to alight.

After the passengers had alighted, Lugh led the four of them onto the train.

After showing their credentials to the crew members, they were arranged to be in the third carriage.

Skylight City was about half a month away from Nanyu City. Lugh pressed a crystal core on the table lamp and flipped open the books he carried with him under the light.

Yesterday afternoon, he borrowed two books from Skylight City’s library.

One was a popular science book about the study of spirit-type Fierce Beasts, and the other was an investigation report of the Illumination Empire’s Beast God Cult.

The Beast God Cult was a cult that gradually rose during the cataclysm three hundred years ago.

Their teachings were quite simple and crude, which meant that humans were guilty. The Beast God sent Fierce Beasts to destroy humans. Only those who believed in the Beast God could gain the Beast God’s favor and not be harmed by the Fierce Beasts.

Three hundred years ago, when the great calamity had just arrived, everyone was in a panic. A portion of the weak-willed people chose to believe in the Beast God Cult.

At that time, the Beast God Cult was extremely weak.

The higher-ups only dared to develop secretly, satisfying their own desires by controlling the followers’ thoughts.

They were afraid of attracting the attention of the Illumination Empire Alliance.

However, when Beast Masters appeared, the danger level of these cults instantly increased by several levels.

The members of the Beast God Cult had once used their spirit-based abilities to hypnotize a large number of civilians and troops, occupying a base city in an attempt to establish a divine kingdom on land.

Of course, that was only the imagination of those lunatics.

They were quickly annihilated by the experts sent by the local military.

In the past hundred years, the military departments of various regions had zero tolerance for the cult, showing no mercy at all.

That was why the Emergency Response Team was able to react so quickly when they reported to Skylight City that there were believers of the Beast God Cult in Nanyu City.

After reading the investigation report of the Beast God Cult, Lugh could only say that the forest had grown big and there were all kinds of birds.

For more than ten days, no one else got on the third carriage from the beginning to the end.

The attendants on the train, on the other hand, often showed up to greet Lugh and the others.

There were no accidents on the way. In the evening, the centipede train slowly stopped at the station in Nanyu City.

As soon as Lugh got off the train, he heard someone shouting, “Humans are sinful and will eventually perish. Only by believing in the Beast God can we live forever.”

Lugh looked towards the source of the voice. The person who shouted was a middle-aged man who was somewhat down and out.

The middle-aged man’s face was sallow and sallow. He was wearing a blue uniform with black stains on it.

As he walked, he shouted a slogan.

“Humans are sinful and will eventually perish. Only by believing in the Beast God can we live forever.”

This time, the person who shouted was an aunt sitting at the stairs of the platform.

Lugh took a deep breath and smiled. “Why do I feel like they are trying to show us off?”

Bruce nodded with a smile. “That’s what they mean.”

“Let’s go to the Nanyu City Military Headquarters and see what’s going on with them. They don’t seem to be under control.”

“Okay.”

On the way to the military headquarters of Nanyu City, Lugh and the others bumped into a few people who were mumbling about worshipping the Beast God. However, they were quickly taken away by the patrolling soldiers.

Lugh and the others found the Military Headquarters of Nanyu City and were brought in after showing their documents.

The person who received them was the Deputy Guardian of Nanyu City, Baker.

“Deputy Guardian Baker, how is the matter with the Beast God Cult?” Lugh asked directly. “We just got off the platform when we saw the followers of the Beast God Cult. It doesn’t look good.”

Baker sighed. “We haven’t found the members of the Beast God Cult yet.”

“You haven’t?” Lugh frowned.
