CHAPTER 244: CHAPTER 172: UNMANNED RECONNAISSANCE DRONE?

The boy nodded, and after finishing the soup, he stuck out his tongue and began to meticulously lick the rim of the bowl.

His movements were so earnest that they bordered on reverent, as his tongue circled the inner wall of the bowl.

Under his licking, the wooden bowl became cleaner than if it had been washed.

Yet neither Tucson nor the woman stopped him, silently watching the boy’s actions.

The wildmen cherished food greatly, never washing bowls in winter. Especially bowls that had held meat soup; next time hot water was poured in, they could still smell the meat aroma.

However, this behavior was not allowed here, so the bowls had to be licked clean.

After the boy finished licking, Tucson pushed his own bowl in front of the boy,

"You can have these too."

"Thank you, Father!"

The boy finally stopped his bowl-licking, revealing a satisfied smile.

Then he took Tucson’s bowl, picked all the meat into his mouth, and began licking the wooden bowl again.

Tucson leaned against the wooden table, letting out a long breath,

"I never thought, Oras... no, Wolfhoof was telling the truth."

Everything before him seemed like a dream.

Just a few days ago, he was struggling with hunger and cold.

But now, not only were their bellies full, but they could sit in a warm wooden cabin, with no worries for tomorrow.

"These are gifts from the Saint Master."

The woman also pushed her bowl towards the child, sighing, "Thank the Saint Master’s grace, otherwise, we might have starved like Yasaso."

The woman’s voice trembled slightly, recalling the neighbor who died in the tent, with a frost-covered face.

"I fear this is a dream, and when I wake up, everything will be gone."

"It won’t."

Tucson said with a smile, "The Saint Master is merciful; as long as we follow the Saint Master’s will, the Saint Master will not abandon us."

"Don’t worry."

Tucson reassured his woman,

"I have now awakened the Beast Spirit Bloodline. I will serve the Saint Master well and work for the Saint Master."

"We can continue having children."

The woman nodded vigorously, reassured, her eyes on the boy.

Perhaps having eaten too much too quickly, the boy kept hiccuping.

At that moment, the beast skin curtain of the wooden door was abruptly lifted, and Usi swiftly walked in.

His gaze swept across the crowd, and he shouted urgently, "All those awakened from the Eagle Feather Tribe, step forward!"

The wooden house instantly fell silent,

The wildmen knew that Master Usi had a special status in Frost Leaf Town, almost equivalent to a Prophet.

Without any delay, the awakened members of the Eagle Feather Tribe hurriedly stood up, including Tucson.

"Drop what you’re doing, and follow me now!"

Usi gave the shout without hesitation, turned on his heel, and left.

Tucson was stunned, his heart skipping a beat.

Not knowing what had happened, he quickly followed Usi’s steps.

...

...

Inside the manor hall.

"Lord, I’m not sure if they will succeed, so I brought them all here."

Usi respectfully reported to Luo De in front of him, "They are all waiting outside."

"Hmm, you thought it through."

Luo De nodded, "Bring one in first."

"Yes, my lord."

Usi quickly ran out and randomly brought someone in.

"Thank you for choosing me, thank you for your recognition, Great Saint Master,"

The man immediately knelt before Luo De, his voice trembling, eyes lowered and not daring to look directly at Luo De.

"No need to kneel, stand up and speak."

Luo De gestured with his hand for him to rise, "What is your name?"

The man slowly stood up, his hands still slightly trembling,

"I am Tucson Eagle Feather, thank you for providing us food, thank you for... giving us a chance."

Tucson’s words were intermittent, filled with reverence.

He still kept his head down, not daring to look at Luo De, his body trembling as if facing a deity.

"No need to be nervous, Tucson."

Luo De, noticing Tucson’s trembling legs, spoke in a calming tone, "Relax, my choosing you means I recognize you."

"Welcome to Frost Leaf Town. Now you need to prove your ability."

Luo De pointed at the eagle in the cage, "Contract it."

"Rest assured, great Saint Master, I will not disappoint you!"

Tucson bowed once more, then turned to look at the eagle beside him.

Tucson stared at the eagle, rolling up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing the red feather mark on his arm.

This mark appeared after the Beast Spirit awakening, explaining why his tribe was called the Eagle Feather Tribe.

"Great Saint Master, I need a small knife."

Tucson said, head lowered.

Luo De gestured, and Usi drew a dagger from his waist, handing it to Tucson.

"Thank you."

Tucson took the dagger, and with the blade, he slowly slid it across the outer contour of the mark.

Blood oozed out along the blade, the feather mark stained with blood began to glow red, as if it were breathing.

In the next instant, Tucson’s eyes turned blood red, glowing like the mark.

Tucson lifted his head, staring intently at the eagle.

As soon as the eagle made eye contact with Tucson, it desperately beat its wings to retreat!

The eagle struggled wildly, trying not to look at Tucson, but couldn’t move its gaze away!

Sitting on the ground, Tucson trembled all over, as if suppressing the eagle’s resistance.

At the same time, Tucson muttered softly, as if chanting a spell, even Usi next to him couldn’t understand.

The eagle’s struggles grew more intense, Tucson chanted faster, and the glow in his eyes became fiercer!

In the next moment, two streaks of blood dripped from Tucson’s eyes!

"My lord!"

Usi couldn’t help exclaiming, Luo De quickly raised his hand to stop him,

"Do not disturb him!"

The Treasure Pearl recorded that if Tucson failed, he would be permanently blind.
