Chapter 1096: 495: Little girl, go home! Obtain a treasure beast!_3

"Alright, since you’ve brought back your daughter, you all should leave now." Konstantin said coldly.

He is a man with mercurial moods, trying to imitate Mr. Liu in winning people’s hearts. But the moment he doesn’t get a response, he immediately turns hostile, showing no patience.

Suo Mo said, "I still have one more thing to report."

Konstantin said coldly, "Speak."

Suo Mo said, "This time, I was lucky and managed to capture three Gryphon Chicks in total. I am willing to offer two to the tribe, keeping one for the Foreign Tribe Army."

These words left not just Konstantin, but even Lanling astonished.

Three captured? Unbelievable.

Konstantin was delighted beyond words; Gryphon Beasts are incredibly precious, and each represents immense combat power.

Greed immediately surged in his heart; he wanted to seize all three Gryphon Beasts for himself.

However, acting so shamelessly comes with its own pressures—he still had some semblance of pride to maintain.

The task he assigned to Suo Mo was merely to capture one. Suo Mo offering two voluntarily was unexpected, and if Konstantin forcibly took the third as well, it would be utterly disgraceful.

Moreover, the tribe had clear rules: anyone who captures two Gryphon Beasts needs only to offer one, while the other can be raised personally, allowing them to directly advance to become a Gryphon Knight.

Gryphon Knights are the pinnacle of the tribe’s hierarchy, a goal countless Samurai aspire to.

Among the young elite vying to marry Chieftain’s daughter Nini’an, the Gryphon Team Captain is currently the strongest competitor.

"Hmm!" Konstantin responded.

Suo Mo promptly handed over the second Gryphon Chick, then cradled the third as he left the castle, accompanied by Lanling and the little girl, heading back to the Barbarian Army Camp.

After Suo Mo left, Konstantin said coldly, "Truly an ungrateful dog."

...

Not long after leaving the Chieftain’s castle, the three of them encountered yet another unpleasant person.

The Chieftain’s wife’s brother, Goufu! The husband of the Fox Clan beauty Ali!

He stumbled out of a tavern, drunkenly saying to those around him, "Women, right? If they don’t listen, just beat them up. A few punches and they’ll behave. That’s how I handle my wife."

Then, he spotted Lanling and Suo Mo and stumbled forward, pointing at the little girl in Lanling’s arms and saying, "Foreign Tribe dog, this is your daughter, huh? Her flesh looks so tender. One day, I’ll catch her and cook her."

Lanling’s gaze sharpened instantly.

This Goufu was as good as dead!

No, death was too lenient. He had to suffer, worse than death.

"Suo Mo, why didn’t you die out there?" Goufu sneered, then spat directly on Suo Mo’s face.

"Master Goufu, may I leave now?" Suo Mo asked as he wiped away the spit.

"Ha ha..." Goufu burst into laughter, pointing again at the little girl in Lanling’s arms and adding, "Someday, I’ll slaughter this little bastard and make her into a side dish to go with your drinks."

Then, he staggered away.

Lanling and Suo Mo resumed walking.

Seeing Lanling’s calm face, Suo Mo grew uneasy and said, "Ling, don’t act rashly. It will ruin important matters."

Lanling replied, "Uncle, rest assured."

...

Back in the cave, the little girl had already awakened, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at Suo Mo and Dina.

Dina embraced her, her heart overflowing with tenderness.

Suo Mo took the third Gryphon Chick out of his arms and handed it to Lanling, saying, "Ling, you came to my side, but as your uncle, I am poor and have no proper greeting gift for you. This Gryphon Beast is for you. Let it grow up alongside the little girl."

These words caused Lanling’s eyes to heat up, tears nearly spilling over.

The reason Uncle Suo Mo had returned so late was to prepare this gift for him. He had to capture three Gryphon Beasts in order to keep one.

Lanling accepted the chick with trembling hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle!"

"Want it, want it!" The little girl squealed excitedly, flapping her wings and flying directly out of Dina’s arms to reach for the Gryphon Chick with her pudgy little hands.

The chick also widened its curious eyes, letting out tender squawks.

The little girl mimicked the squawking sounds.

The three adults burst into laughter at the sight.

The cave radiated with an unparalleled sense of joy and happiness.

The little girl was still young, unable to form thoughts or speak.

But even she could feel that, although the cave was crude compared to the castle atop the mountain, it was far more fun and joyous here.

Before heading off to bathe, Suo Mo asked Lanling, "Ling, how has your training gone in the past few days?"

Dina answered, "Foster Father, Lanling has already broken through to Level Six Samurai."

These words made Suo Mo stagger in their tracks. He turned his head, disbelief written all over his face, and exclaimed, "Eleven days, from Level Three Samurai to Level Six Samurai? Incredible!"

Then Suo Mo added, "In five days, we’ll face off against the Wild Horse Tribe. When that time comes, I hope you can earn yourself some military merits. Not only by advancing in rank but also by gradually establishing your prestige within the Foreign Tribe Army."
