Inside the floating warship.
Five figures stood upright, like five statues, exuding an inexplicable eeriness.
"I didn't expect that this operation would send out a full five... Beast Guardians. Heh! Interesting."
"We probably don't know each other, right?"
"Since this is a 'cooperation,' let's first state our respective beast numbers so it's easier to address each other and get to know each other, shall we?"
A slightly hoarse laugh rang out, sounding soft and gentle, breaking the stagnation and deathly silence, yet it was like a lurking, slippery venomous snake, sending chills down one's spine.
These five beings were all dressed in identical black robes, except for the animal masks they wore on their faces.
At this moment, the creature that broke the silence wore a snake-shaped mask on its face, which was ferocious and savage!
"Since I spoke first, I'll go first. My name is... Xiang San!"
The first to speak was the Beast Guardian, who revealed his name.
"Xuan San".
Finally, a second cold voice rang out. He wore a tiger-shaped mask and exuded a terrifying aura.
"My name is... Jiao San! Hehehehe... I'm the only woman among us! I hope you can all have some pity on me and not bully me!"
A third voice rang out, delicate and sweet, seemingly a woman's voice, with a touch of mystique.
"Refute the third!"
The fourth voice was crisp and clear, devoid of any emotion, like a reef, yet it possessed a resounding strength that made it impossible to ignore.
Of the five beast guardians, four have already revealed their names!
Within the Beast Organization, stating one's name signifies an intention to cooperate and is a good start.
Phase three.
Xuan San.
Jiao San.
Rebuttal 3.
The names are very strange and unusual, all ending with the same number "three".
Clearly, there must be some reason or pattern behind this; it's not a name that can be obtained arbitrarily.
At this point, the eyes of the four beast guardians who had spoken their names all turned to the last beast guardian who had not yet spoken.
The last beast guardian stood motionless, seemingly with his hands behind his back.
Compared to the other four beast guardians, whose positions were clearly defined and seemed to be on guard, he was the only one with his back to everyone, his gaze seemingly already fixed on the void outside the floating warship.
Unscrupulous?
Confident and strong?
This beast guardian seemed to exude such an aura.
"Aren't you going to tell me the name? That must be a sequence from 'three' onwards?"
It was still Xiang San's voice, still polite, but with a strong sense of probing.
The other four beast guardians had already focused their gazes on the mask of the beast guardian who had remained silent until now!
Within the Beast Organization, the "Guardians" identify each other almost entirely by using different masks.
The more powerful the beast guardian, the higher its rank, and the more infamous the "mask" it inherits!
This is a cognitive ranking under a harsh and hierarchical jungle law!
The only beast guardian who didn't speak also wore an extremely strange mask!
It looks somewhat similar to Xiang San's mask; it's also... a snake-shaped mask!
Yet they are completely different!
This is a crimson mask with two vertical pupils carved on it, each a completely different color: the left eye is gold and the right eye is silver!
It exudes an aura of chaos and distortion!
Xiang San's question went unanswered, causing his eyes, hidden behind his mask, to narrow slightly, a hint of coldness flashing within them.
"etc!!"
"This mask..."
"Could it be that what was inherited was... the candle..."
Jiao San, whose voice was originally sweet and gentle like a woman's, suddenly spoke like this, his tone trembling slightly!
It seemed that she recognized the origin of this last beast guardian mask!
But before Jiao San could finish speaking, the last of the four beast guardians, who had been facing away from the four beast guardians, suddenly turned around!
A terrifying gaze seemed to pierce through the mask and instantly fixed itself on Jiao San!
The three sharks trembled violently!
Immediately, the last beast guardian's gaze shifted, turning to look at the other three beast guardians!
Upon meeting their gaze, both Xuan San and Bo San felt an indescribable chill creeping into their hearts, and they couldn't help but avoid their eyes.
Only the third minister...
It seems they are unwilling to yield!
Both are "snake-shaped masks," but this seems to be Xiang San's arrogance!
Thump thump thump!
Xiang San suddenly took three steps back, letting out a muffled groan of shock and anger. A hint of instinctive fear flashed in his eyes, but a trace of resentment seemed to disappear in the depths of his eyes.
"Logically speaking, a guardian of your rank is not qualified to act alongside me!"
Finally, the last beast guardian slowly spoke.
His voice was soft and gentle, yet beneath that gentleness lay boundless majesty and domineering power.
"But this operation was sudden and important."
"Therefore, you are qualified."
"But I expect that in the following operations, you would better perfectly obey all my orders, otherwise..."
At this point, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the golden and silver eyes on the mask of the last beast guardian!
A terrifying pressure flashed by, immediately making the other four beast guardians tremble and feel the difference in strength!
"As for my name..."
"Zhu Yi."
When Zhu Yi revealed his name, the other four beast guardians, even though they had some idea of what was going on, were still shaken to their core!
Sequence...one!
Only those who are also Beast Guardians truly understand the terrifying power and significance of this sequence!
The four of them are all just inheriting the sequence number "three".
The difference between "three" and "one"!
inestimable!
"Phew... I understand! I, Xiang San, will certainly obey your orders!"
As it turned out, it was Xiang San who was the first to show signs of yielding.
As soon as he spoke, the other three beast guardians hesitated for a few moments before also expressing their agreement, and all bowed to Zhu Yi with clasped hands in a gesture of respect.
"very good."
"Keep it up."
Zhu Yi seemed quite satisfied with the attitude of the other four beast guardians.
Immediately, his gaze returned to the vast starry sky ahead, and his voice continued.
"This time, the target is the 'Celestial Star Universe'. The Beast God Tower has reacted, and there has appeared a child who is very likely to have 'Level 5 potential'."
"We immediately dispatched three beast guardians to capture them, including two Sequence 4 and one Sequence 3."
"But in the end, none of them came back. Not only did they not come back, but they also disappeared without a trace, which was extremely strange."
"Heh, you should know how long it's been since something like this happened in my Beast Organization?"
"That's why I personally took action this time, and that's why you're all following along."
"The higher-ups are furious and have already made a ruling..."
"First, find that child with 'level five potential' and bring him back safe and sound."
"Second, determine the outcome and circumstances of the three beast guardians."
"third……"
When he mentioned the third point, a chilling glint seemed to flash in his eyes beneath the mask.
"Nip any potential threats in the bud."
“When necessary, we can slaughter all living beings in the Tianxing Universe, including mortal beings.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang San was the first to reveal a cold smile.
Xuan San remained cold and aloof.
Pierce Three did not react.
Jiao San chuckled softly, revealing a hint of allure.
"Really? Then can I... eat it?"
When Xiang San asked this question, his tone carried an undisguised desire and a bloodthirsty greed.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yi did not immediately reply, but seemed to be smiling as well.
"sure."
"But the premise is that the mission is completed successfully."
In an instant, the atmosphere inside the entire ship's cabin seemed to become bloodthirsty and fiery!
However!
This moment!
The five guardian beasts inside the ship's cabin, including "Candle One," were unaware that they were located atop their floating warship.
An inconspicuous place.
I don't know when!
It seemed that a tall and slender figure had been sitting cross-legged for some time.
Like a ghost, it moved silently!
At this moment, the tall, slender man was expressionless, but his bright eyes were already icy cold.
