Chapter 4: The Sleeping Cub Is Taken Away!

"What's going on? Why is there only one draco cub? Is this a slave capture team?"

Outcast cautiously approached Misery, looking puzzled at Kanna, who was sleeping soundly and drooling a long string, and whispered the question.

Misery rarely showed bitter smile.

"There are no traces of anyone else. I checked thoroughly before you all came in. The only traces in this cave come from this little one. You see the bones? If I'm not mistaken, this little one ate an entire wild boar."

"How could that be? Look at her belly. Even if she ate herself to death, she couldn't finish a pig leg, let alone an entire wild boar," Outcast said, crouching down and placing her hand on Kanna's flat stomach.

"But this is the only conclusion, Outcast.

This small cave only has one exit, and there are no traces of anyone else. Based on our earlier guess by the river, from killing the pig to now, no more than three hours have passed.

So, unless this little one ate the entire pig, what else could have made the meat of an entire boar disappear?

Should we try waking her up?"

Misery, though not believing this conclusion himself, could see the facts before him and found it absurd.

Seeing Misery's intention to wake Kanna, Outcast pushed him away. "You idiot, no wonder you don't have any romantic luck on this island, except for those few fools in ACE."

Looking at Kanna's cute sleeping face, Outcast rarely showed a kind expression.

She gently picked Kanna up. "No matter what, we can't leave a cub alone in this wilderness, regardless of whether she's abnormal."

Misery didn't disagree with Outcast's words, as he considered Kanna merely a cub. Even with strong Source Stone abilities, he believed he and the other elites from Rhodes Island could easily suppress her.

Although Rhodes Island's mission was to find a way for infected people to coexist with non-infected ones, they would also spare no effort in taking care of abandoned cubs and protecting them.

That's why these elite operators were willing to stay on Rhodes Island—this land has suffered too much, but these sufferings shouldn't be borne by newborn cubs.

Kanna had actually noticed when the squad first arrived at the entrance, but since they hadn't shown any malice and she overheard their conversation, learning that they were from Rhodes Island, she let her guard down.

After all, although Rhodes Island's little donkeys have a naive mentality, Rhodes Island could be considered a rare Eden on Terra.

Joining this team and entering Rhodes Island seemed like a very good choice for Kanna.

And just before they came in, her task had been marked as complete, and the new task was to successfully join any organization or country in this world. Following Misery and the others into Rhodes Island would easily complete that task.

At this moment, she was closing her eyes, pondering the reward for her first task—the basic spell Palm Thunder from One Below the Heavens' Five Thunder Judgments.

Although Palm Thunder was a basic spell, Kanna saw a glimmer of how to use her lightning abilities.

Even though she couldn't practice it right now, Kanna was like a giant dam, and Palm Thunder was a sluice gate. It showed her how to use her immense physical power, rather than simply covering her body with electricity and relying on her physical strength to fight close-quarters.
