Mixed Blessing System

Beasts were beings with great physical capacity, which went beyond their attribute values.

That is, just like demons, beings with the special characteristic of regeneration, beasts had their unique traits. In their case, resistance to physical exercise was their hallmark, which put them at the forefront of all kinds of physical labor.

For example, a beast with the Constitution value 'x' would have similar characteristics to a human with the same 'x' value. But it could stand to fight for much longer with a human of the same power as it, or even walk, fly or run, for much longer than such a being.

That is why beasts and animals were used as the main driving force for vehicles and mounts for humans across the continent.

As such, even though Lothur had a higher Constitution and speed value than that fox, its help would be of great value to him.

He would, at most, be able to maintain his maximum speed for a few minutes, while if he ran with less than his capabilities, he would still have to stop every 2 or 3 hours.

On the other hand, the beast could handle moving at almost the same speed as he could, but it would not have to stop much, only once per day of the journey!

So having that beast as his temporary mount would be enough for Lothur to save about a full day of travel.

They would still have to make stops to eat and rest, but with the help of this fox, Lothur could use more of his time to train instead of just rest.

The crocodile then said. "Yes, it said it would give you a ride to your place."

"But won't it be dangerous? It's only at the 5th Revolution. With that level of power, the local leaders in the area I'm going to will probably try to capture it." He commented, looking at that crocodile as he nodded to the fox.

"That's right..." The level 17 beast commented as it looked at that white being that was small next to it but was still bigger than Lothur.

They explained Lothur's words to that beast, making it realize the trouble it would have if it went on to that place.

But it had already promised to help him, so it did not want to back out now.

"I'm willing to go anyway. At worst, I'll stick around him for a while until I can get back safely." It said in its language, making those other beings listen to her and then translate to Lothur.

"Well, I will help you as best I can while you are with me." He commented, satisfied with that.

When the fox heard this, it immediately lowered its body beside Lothur, indicating for him to climb on its back.

He saw that and climbed on without any problems, quickly finding a way to get comfortable on top of this furry beast, which was even bigger than a horse.

"What about its family? Won't they miss it?" Lothur naively asked.

"Family?" The Transcendent beasts laughed upon hearing that, feeling Lothur could only be making a joke.

Beasts did not have as firm ties to their close relatives as humans did.

Beasts, for the most part, were animals capable of cultivation. So they shared the reproductive characteristics of the animal breeds they belonged to.

Some take care of their young ones in the first days after birth, while others do nothing, just give their genes to these offspring.

Due to this wild nature, this adult fox would have no problem leaving without talking to anyone.

At most, the local leaders would need to know of its departure so that the beings in its tribe would not think it had been kidnapped or something of the sort.

But making it clear to these beings that it would leave on its own was enough, so there was no need for further concern.

Lothur saw that he had asked an unnecessary question and shut up, feeling it was time to leave.

"Well, if there's nothing more to be said, I'll be on my way..."

But before he left the area, the level 16 lizard asked. "Human, what did you find after the fifth corridor? Is there any way to make our journey there easier?"

Lothur looked at that creature as he saw the other beings watching him intently. "The hint I can give you is to get an affinity with most of the elements in that place. That is, something that makes you able to take advantage of the best of each chamber."

"What? But that's impossible!" The yellow crocodile said as it found that too difficult.

Few beasts were born with such affinities. In fact, ordinary beasts did not have these capabilities. Only dragons and unique beings like these had such ability!

"But that's what's needed." He did not lie. "Without it, being at the sixth level of the labyrinth would kill you, even if you could get past the fifth level."

"At this level, you can't give up. And that creature... Hmm, I don't know if I can talk."

Upon hearing that, the creatures in the surroundings were shocked, noticing there was something of a very high level in that place.

"Is that dangerous even for someone at my level?" The level 17 beast asked.

"Yes. I can feel your strength. But I couldn't estimate the opponent's within the sixth level." Lothur commented, knowing that this being could not get there, but it still would not be paired for dinosaur projection if it did. "It's a real monster!"

Gulp!

Those beasts felt frightened by this information since none of them expected that there would be such a powerful creature so close to them.

"Are you serious?" The lizard asked after swallowing its saliva.

"Hmm, I wouldn't lie about that..." He said as he looked away to the horizon ahead. "Well, that is all. Now it's my time to leave."

After saying that, he indicated for the white fox to start moving forward in the direction, he knew led out of this Three Great Lakes Region.

The bear and eagle he had first encountered in this region had taught him a route out of this area, which he could follow without entering any beast territory.

So he departed that area without further delay while the beasts there stood thinking about his words, regretting they were not as talented.

"Will we ever see him again?" The crocodile asked the lizard beside it.

"Who knows... Anyway, I think we will hear from him sooner or later."

So Lothur began his journey that would last a few days, leaving that area without finding his father or trying to find the Transcendent who had given him that teleportation formation.

He had complaints to make but also questions to ask when he arrived there. But after so many opportunities, he no longer felt irritated and thought it best just to return to Peters City without getting involved in bigger trouble.

His father's and grandfather's groups seemed to be even stronger than he could handle. Still, he would undoubtedly already be influential among them. So as not to end up limiting himself, he kept his curiosities about himself in the back of his mind as he traveled on the back of that fox.
