After the trio left Max's house, they didn't leave the mountain immediately, but flew around looking for any possible clue.

One of the women took out a mirror and seemed to be using it for something.

The leader noticed her actions, but he didn't interfere, although he didn't think that Max was involved with the dragon.

But since the woman wants to confirm, so be it. He didn't stop her.

The mirror surface rippled like water as Max's figure appeared on it.

She was spying on Max to see what he was doing now that they left.

But to her disappointment, the guy was just preparing coffee.

“Sigh, stop wasting your time on that guy, focus,” the other woman reprimanded.

While the leader didn't even comment about Max, but he asked about a different matter.

“What's the news from the other teams? How did the siege go?”

The one holding the mirror spoke. “I received the news earlier. It was a complete disaster. The strength of that A-rank dungeon was too abnormal.”

“well at the very least, we aren't the only ones who didn't gain anything from this,” added the second woman.

The leader’s expression was gloomy.

A day ago, they received news about a dungeon-break just before it happened.

It was too late to stop it, so instead multiple freelance teams cooperated with the government to siege the gate.

One A-rank team from the government and 12 B-rank teams.

At first, everything was normal. After the dungeon-break the fight started immediately.

The trio is one of the weakest B-rank teams on the scene, so they didn't play solo but cooperated with an A-rank member from the government, and another B-rank team and killed an A-rank dragon, then split the loot.

The egg was their share, but no one expected that the dragon spirit will take the egg and escape.

And their team had to chase after it.

At first the leader called it bad luck, but listening to the report, it might just be good luck.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

After they left, things went from good to bad and from bad to worst in an instant.

The dungeon boss and its guards were too overpowered.

Once they exited the gate, they unleashed chaos, slaughtering anyone too slow to flee at first glance.

“Sigh, whatever, we will keep looking for one more day, then go back to the city no matter what the result is .”

……......... …

Back at the mountain, Max kept the act for the entire day, then went back to his normal lifestyle.

Not because he thought they wouldn't come back, but because he was no longer wary of them.

In fact, Max wished they would come back. He was really tempted by the goods a high level pet master carries around.

Max is a resourceful individual. He already made a plan to deal with them, using cold blood.

Back when Lucy informed him about them, they were already close to his house.

He just got the hammer and didn't have the time to figure out how to best use it.

But now, his plan is simple.

First Let Lucy use the hammer.

Maybe because she was his pet or maybe because she was the one who forged it, Lucy can use cold blood the same as Max.

Of course, max didn't plan to let her go fight with it. That would actually limit her powers and be plain stupid.

Once Lucy spot the leader, she will use any means necessary to get at least a single drop of blood from him.

whether she uses mosquitoes or vines or whatever and feeds the drop of blood to cold blood.

Now that cold blood can keep tracking him, things got easier.

Take cold blood to the very peak of the mountain, then Lucy uses her maximum power to throw it down.

Max already gave her a few ideas about how to best exert her strength in that throw.

Now just watch.

First Lucy's strength + cold bloods, heavy weight + gravity.

Max gets a headache every time he wants to calculate the acceleration of that thing.

It’s basically a falling burning meteorite.

But that's not the killer part. The real killer is blood repulsion with Lucy's B-Rank Vitality.

You have to understand that even A-rank pet master doesn't have a B-rank Vitality.

After all, they fight with pets and their meditation techniques don't increase vitality.

And since Lucy is technically everywhere on the mountain, the 50 meter limit for calling cold blood turn into thousands of kilometers, so there's no chance of losing cold blood this way.

After the leader is killed by the tracking burning meteorite, Max didn't worry about the two ladies next to him, he didn't feel much danger from those two, Lucy should be able to deal with them, and even if she couldn't, she can take the body and escape with max.

But sadly, six days already passed, and Max never saw them again.

Honestly, he felt depressed.

He finally made this ingenious trump card, but no one to use it on.

He even had the urge to go back to the city and do some face slapping to provoke someone, then use it on him.

But even if he wants to, with his passive, no one would give him a bad glance.

Who is supposed to face the slapping then?

Max shook the weird thoughts out of his head and slapped a mosquito on his arm before it bit him.

“Lucy, didn't I tell you to keep your mosquitoes away from the house?”

After Max told Lucy about his plan, she became super excited, and even generously lifted the delusional term next to Max's name in her head.

Her pet master is too smart to be delusional.

That was good and all, but the problem is that she started rasing mosquitoes, helping them grow just like she is doing for the crow eggs..

She wanted to be prepared, but just like Max, she was depressed about finding no target, and Max didn't allow her to use it on the beasts around.

“did you hear me Lu? If you don't keep them away I will really kill them all.”

Lucy's figure appeared in front of Max with a tearful face.

Max scratched his head. “Lu, you can keep them on the other side of the mountain and I won't kill them.”

Little Lu started jumping around, arguing.

“mimilimimi.”

Max was speechless.” what do you mean you have gunpowder on the other side and it's too dangerous for them?, then what about me?”

‘ small bite, no harm.’

Max’s eyebrow twitched. “No, is a no Lu. ”

......

After the two argued for over an hour, they came to a middle ground.

Lucy can rase them, but keep them away from Max, but once Max gets one more bite. They were all dead.

Anyway, such a thing is a good way for Lucy to train her powers, and Max wanted this to happen.
