Surrounded by Five Beast Lords novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

As the hovercar got closer to the training zone, traffic started to back up.

A long line of vehicles stretched toward the entrance, hovercars of every kind crammed together, their headlights flickeri through the rain like a river of light.

“Why are there so many people today?” Elmer asked, leaning over to look out the window

It’s the last chance before the wet season,” Rafe explained. “A lot of people want to stock up on supplies

And… maybe plenty of folks have heard rumors about the crystal ore.”

Just then. Dora’s Optical Brain buzzed, and a new message popped up.

Got the match notification.

I’m working a smuggling case on the Core Planet. I’ll head back once it’s wrapped up.

With the wet season coming, stay safe. From Lucian]

Dora raised an eyebrow and replied, [Take care. Welcome back.]

Clive’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, while Rafe looked down, lost in thought.

Joren picked up on the change in mood and tapped Dora’s hand with his paw. “Who is it?”

It’s Lucian. He said he’s working on a case and will be back once it’s closed,” Dora said, unfazed

amer muttered “The Commander is such a mystery…”

The hovercar inched forward through the jam, and things inside got a little awkward.

Trying to break the silence. Dora pulled up some public info for Zone 32 on her Optical Braun.

The map for Zone 32 shows three main entrances,” she said

Lioren suddenly stood up reing his paws on Dora’s shoulder and cheating spied on the mug with the tok

“You mean there’s a hidden entrance here! Dota guessed

Lioren nodded, his tail swaying gently Mm him

Elmer leaned in for a closer look The info says this areas a sheer cliff How could that evente pentr

Maybe there’s a crack under the sheer cliff, Clive spoke up. “Liorer’s instincts are always fight

Joren’s cars twitched at the praise, but he kept his proud demeanor

is they talked, the hovercar finally made it to the entrance of the training zone.

The massive archway was lit up with the words “Core Planet Third Training Zone, and below it mission screens and a hrong of people crowded together.

I’ll go pick up the mission,” Dora said as she got out of the hovercar. “You guys check the gear and restock anything we

The training hall was a madhouse, roaring with noise.

veryone was scrambling for their last shot before the wet season hit, the place was crawling with beastfolk squads, and the ir reeked of sweat, rain, and metal.

Dora walked up to the task screen for Zone 32, where high-risk missions were flashing across the display

Hunt Level 5 Ironclad Rhino. Reward: 8000 starcoins per one/100 interstellar citizen points.]

Collect blueberry trees. Reward: 5000 starcoins per one, 100 interstellar citizen points.]

Find and mark the location of the crystal ore vein. Reward: 20,000 starcoins, 500 citizen points, and government prionty rocurement rights.]

i bunch of squads had already spotted the mission, and the place was buzzing with talk.

A crystal ore? Seriously?

With a reward like that, you know it’s dangerous.”

It’s a high-risk zone to begin with”

Dora didn’t hesitate She stepped up and pressed her fingerprint on the screen

After checking the mission list. Dora turned to leave, nearly bumping into a squad

Leading the pack was Cassian

Beside him stood a female looking glamorous. Wendy

Behind them were a dozen or so beastfolk, all decked out in full gear making for an impressive hocup

Cassian seemed different

Hora pri ked up on the fact that his aura felt a lot stronger, and his eyes looked way more intense. Did he just level up? she thought

“Dora, Cassian said, trying to sound humble but still coming off proud. “You’re heading to Zone 32 100?

“What, do you own the training zone or something?” Dora shot back, raising an eyebrow.

Wendy slipped her arm around Cassian’s, her stile sugary sweet but laced with challenge. “Cassian’s hit Primary Level o now, just so you know.

“Miss Southwell, the high-risk zone’s no joke. You better watch yourself.”

‘Level 6? Dora’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of surprise in her gaze.

Looks like the Shawn family really pulled out all the stops for this mission, she thought.

“Appreciate the concern,” Dora said, her tone cool. “Good luck to you, maybe this time you’ll actually grab first place

Wendy’s smile froze, and anger flickered in Cassian’s eyes.

Dora ignored them and strode straight for the exit.

As she stepped out of the hall, she caught Wendy’s petulant voice and Cassian trying to placate her behind her.

Back in the hovercar, Dora gave them a quick rundown of what happened.

“Level 6?” Elmer gasped. “Cassian leveled up that fast?”

Clive said coolly, “The Shawn family must’ve pulled out some high-grade crystal cores.”

Clive added, “But if he forced his way up a level in such a short time, his actual combat power probably won’t measure up to a real Level 6.”

Rafe mused, “Wendy… They matched up that fast?”

“Looks like the Lynn family’s really betting big on this chance.”

Lioren snorted and flicked his tail impatiently, making it clear he had no respect for Cassian.

“Forget about them,” Dora said, buckling her seatbelt. “We’re sticking to the plan, entering through the north entrance and steering clear of the swamp’s core.

“Clive, let’s roll.”
