Chapter 476: Chapter 170: Ghost Train

“You’re saying… You encountered a special looped space, and inside it was a Catastrophe you didn’t get a good look at? And then somehow it was broken?”

“Yes, young master. We lost over a dozen people, then luckily broke it…”

“What about the specific details? Was there anyone special in the team?”

“Those two guys couldn’t really explain, seems like they accidentally answered something correctly and broke it… oh, those four people seemed to know each other. One of them is the Dog King Elder Clinton.”

“Dog King?”

“The young master certainly wouldn’t have heard of such a small character. Just a cunning old bastard who hides behind others in danger, well-known among the hunters in Sinless City. The others included a young swordsman, a simple thug, and a doctor, nothing special about them.”

“Where are those people, bring them here.”

“Young master, they just signed up for the pit.”

“Mmm. You’ve done well, go collect your bounty.”

“Thank you, young master.”

In the temporary camp tent, after Old Crist, the temporary team leader for Leonard Churchill and his party, reported the information, he excitedly went out to collect his bounty.

On the main seat, Kak, dressed in mechanical battle armor, pondered for a moment before turning to ask, “Miss White, what do you think?”

By his side, a black-haired young girl in a white dress heard this, her expression indifferent: “The probability of killing a Catastrophe that can form a realm, entirely based on luck is extremely low. If I’m not mistaken, the female doctor should be Junior Carter. And that Catastrophe, it’s very likely she killed it. Besides, she’s already down the pit now, so either she has a death wish, or there’s some special purpose.”

“Mmm. I think so too.”

Kak nodded, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes, “I learned from the elders of the clan that someone in the family wants to challenge the ‘Hero Trial’. Looking at it now, it must be my Sister Carter.”

Hearing this, Vivian White raised her eyebrows, “Oh? If I remember correctly, no one has completed the Lionheart Family’s Hero Trial alive in decades, right?”

Kak’s eyes darkened as he replied, “Yes. The last one to complete the trial was my grandfather.”

Completing the Hero Trial holds significant meaning within the Anka Clan.

It could be said that it virtually secures the candidate for the family’s helmsman.

And his grandfather, he is the legendary powerhouse of the Federation, the “Silver-eyed Lion” Camer!

Vivian White heard this and chuckled, “Sister Carter is still as competitive as ever. From childhood, she always aimed to be first… I heard she suffered a loss at Flood Gang and has been quiet for a while. Now it seems her ambition is not small.”

She said this while looking at Kak with a meaningful gaze.

The Lionheart Family’s trial was a top-secret to outsiders, but not to the White family, they were quite clear about it.

Kak felt an indescribable rage and fear when Flood Gang was mentioned.

The pressure of the legendary powerhouse’s death still made his heart palpitate despite all these years.

But that was also his greatest humiliation in life.

He said emotionlessly, “That woman got herself into trouble. She knew Flood Gang had ace players from the Revolutionary Army and didn’t divulge any information. Instead, she enticed me into a direct conflict with Flood Gang, and I almost died there because of her…”

Vivian White heard this and laughed lightly, “This sounds like Sister Carter’s usual tactics. The men from the academy were all quite obsessed back then…”

The two didn’t explain further, but both understood what the other was implying.

Kak’s gaze turned cold, he didn’t linger on the topic and instead said, “Most of the information about the ruins of Summer Shepherd City is in the hands of my second uncle. Now that woman has entered the pit, she must have some information we don’t know. But we have quite a bit too. My father’s wish is to investigate these ruins at all costs. So I’m also preparing to go down the pit myself.”

Vivian nodded upon hearing this, “Mmm. The news has been leaked, several parliamentarians and lords have sent people over. If the delay continues for a few more days, I fear things will get out of hand. Unfortunately, my White family’s ace fighter is still on the road and may not get here for a few more days.”

With this, her gaze narrowed slightly, “How about this, I’ll accompany you.”

Kak’s eyes lit up with joy, “Miss White, you’re going down personally?”

Originally working with the White family, he only intended for them to be advisors.

After all, this ancient family holds many secret skills. For exploring such ancient ruins, it couldn’t be more appropriate to have them.

If a direct descendant of the White family would come along, the pace of the exploration would greatly increase.

Vivian, with an imperceptible gleam of wisdom in her eyes, calmly said, “Yes. If Sister Carter can go, so can I.”

The White family securing one of the five major parliamentary seats in the federation for two hundred years was not only due to ancestral shades but also strength!

Meanwhile.

On the rocky wall in the center of the ruins.

A group of Pioneer Hunters were driving pitons, going deeper into the pit.

Mist filled the pit, the searchlight’s beam was completely obstructed beyond ten meters or so.

“Our task this time is to explore at least two hundred meters.”

“Everyone be careful, those on line 13, follow closely, the intelligence officer is to relay information at all times!”

Somewhere on the rock wall, Leonard Churchill, along with others, was slowly climbing up using a rope and mechanical grappling hook.

Not far from him were Catherine Carter and Elder Clinton, grandfather and granddaughter..
