Chapter 455 - 336: How Could the Griffin Family’s Bloodline Be So Weak?

Chapter 455: Chapter 336: How Could the Griffin Family’s Bloodline Be So Weak?

Lord Bear shook his head and did not directly answer the other party’s question, but instead asked:

"Aaron Griffin, you’ve traveled all the way from New York City to a small town in Texas, just to attend the Milk Festival?"

He was inquiring about the other’s identity, and although he was almost certain that this was the person he was looking for, Lord Bear decided to confirm it just to be safe.

If the other party was not his target, then he planned to leave immediately, after all, his own identity had changed now and he needed to be more cautious in his actions.

"You, you know me?"

Facing Lord Bear’s question, Aaron was incredibly surprised; the way the other spoke, it seemed as if he was very familiar with him.

Hearing this, Lord Bear finally confirmed the man’s identity, but he was surprised by the strength the other exhibited.

"Hmm, it is indeed you, but... how can the Griffin Family’s bloodline be so weak? To be left helpless even against a low-level Ete."

These words of Lord Bear were as if he was talking to himself, but to Aaron, they struck like a bolt from the blue, and he forgot what he was originally going to say, standing there stupefied.

How could he say that?

What is the Griffin Family bloodline...?

Could it be... he knew me before... or rather, he knew my ancestors?

Aaron stared blankly at Lord Bear, his mind racing through countless possibilities at this moment.

"What does he mean by ’weak’? Could it be... that my family actually had Transcendents before? Only, for some reason, our Transcendent bloodline has faded, losing those powers.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was a possibility and he couldn’t help but look at the monster corpse on the ground again, his expression changing.

"Ete... Ete... Is that what these monsters are called? It seems he must have come to hunt them... That’s right, he must also be a Demon Hunter! And he even knows our family’s ancestors!"

The more Aaron thought about it, the more he felt he was on to something, and his heart could not help but start to get excited.

Just the thought of possibly coming into contact with the real Extraordinary World and even the chance to step into it himself made him uncontrollably excited.

After all, hadn’t this mysterious and powerful Demon Hunter just said that the Griffin Family’s bloodline should be strong?

Then perhaps the other party might have some way to restore his strength? Isn’t that how it’s portrayed in movies and TV shows?

Lord Bear certainly could never have guessed that just a casual remark from him would trigger such a significant reaction in the other.

He was just carrying out a mission to find someone; Zhang Xiaoman had told him that the Griffin Family had once been members of the Tracker Temple.

Thus, he subconsciously thought that this Griffin should have some special methods just like Ye Cang and the others.

What he did not know was that before coming to Rebirth Island, Ye Cang was also just an ordinary person.

And, not to mention Aaron, this naive teenager who didn’t know anything; even if he had previously possessed an Extraordinary Talent, it would have disappeared without a trace after being altered by the Sect Establishment Order.

"Sir... do you know my family’s ancestors? Were they, like you... also Demon Hunters who hunted evil creatures?"

"Demon Hunter..."

Lord Bear heard the term from the other’s mouth again, but this time he was not too surprised.

He knew this kid really thought of him as the profession from his fantasies.

But that did not matter; his thinking this way wasn’t wrong.

Anyways, the task he had come for required finding someone, but he also needed to make some contact with them in order to assess them before ultimately recruiting them into the Star Alliance.

Actually, Lord Bear’s initial impression of Aaron was quite good. When he had entered, he happened to witness Aaron risking his life to buy time for his comrades to escape.

From his behavior, one could call him foolish or call him second-rate, but it was rare to find someone truly willing to sacrifice themselves without a second thought.

"Demon Hunter? Heh, I am not the Demon Hunter you speak of... and I don’t know the ancestor you mentioned."

Lord Bear first denied his guess, then glanced at Bena beside him and swallowed the words he originally intended to say.

"There are some things that it’s not yet time to explain to you. For now, I have a more important task to complete."

Saying this, he walked straight to the monster’s corpse, squatted down, and placed his palm over it.

"Hoo~"

Lord Bear took a deep breath and then, following the method taught by the Star Lord, issued a mental command to use the ability of the Eye of the Starry Sky.

This was the first time he was using this power, which was said to purify the monster’s corpse, completely erasing it from this universe.

Only by doing this could it be confirmed that the Alien Species was truly dead, otherwise, with their weird ability, it would be hard to ensure they wouldn’t come back to life.

Moreover, another important reason Lord Bear was doing this was that by eradicating the existence of the monster in this way, he could obtain the much-desired Contribution Value.

The thought of soon gaining Contribution Value again made Lord Bear’s heart irresistibly hot.

After experiencing the benefits of the imprint exchanged with Contribution Value—Magic Memory—he had developed a strong taste for it and craved this type of currency that could be exchanged for Transcendent rewards.

As he activated his Skill, streams of white Energy Flow were seen being drawn from the monster’s corpse and surged towards Lord Bear’s palm.

"Hiss..."

Lord Bear suddenly furrowed his brow, and waves of excruciating pain radiated from the center of his right palm, striking at his soul and causing sweat to bead on his forehead instantly.

"Just as the Star Lord said, purification is accompanied by pain..."

Lord Bear was well-prepared for this, as Zhang Xiaoman had already told them about it.

Finally, after waiting for about ten seconds, the monster’s corpse in front of him turned into specks of white light and completely disappeared.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoman, who had just gotten up at home, suddenly heard a system notification in his mind.

"Ding, Ete Essence absorbed, points increased by 14."

"Huh?"

The sudden appearance of this voice made him pause with his toothbrush hanging in mid-air.

"What the hell? Why did my points suddenly increase? I haven’t done anything; where did this Ete come from?"

He was first stunned, then immediately thought of a possibility.

"Could it be... someone killed a monster?"

Zhang Xiaoman quickly opened the system panel and accessed the gang member interface.

Looking at the new kill record and the 7 Contribution Value added beside Lord Bear’s name, he instantly understood what had just happened.
