Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

He specifically bred hunting dogs, animal companions whose strength was close to that of ordinary magical beasts, whose temperament was stable, and who were extremely affectionate.

The guy's excuse for taking the little fire hyena away was simple: he made him mate at least a hundred times each breeding season.

This deeply attracted the little fire-chewing hyena, which was also considered by Bell to be a good-for-nothing.

If you're always thinking about women, how can you possibly succeed? You can't, you don't have the ability, you know that?

But the last fire-chewing hyena wandered around for a long time without finding a suitable owner, which puzzled even Bell.

Because this little guy, except when he's with Julianne, doesn't show any affection to anyone.

There's a sense that the joys and sorrows of dogs are not the same for everyone; I only find their noise bothersome.

Because of this little guy's existence, the beast selection process continued, with new beast tamers constantly joining, but unfortunately, none of them were able to gain his approval.

Eventually, fewer and fewer beast tamers came in, while more and more hunters came in.

"Oh no, will this guy never find another job?"

Bell was also a bit bewildered by this situation. He temporarily suspended the interview, lifted the little guy by the back of his neck, and after a brief conversation, repeatedly confirmed that the guy had the desire to enter human society before continuing the interview process.

According to this fire-chewing hyena, it is waiting for a unique person.

Bell couldn't glean anything about this unique individual from the little guy's words; he only knew that such a person existed.

Left with no other option, Bell could only continue to wait.

Bell, sitting behind the curtain, simply waited, while the hunters and tamers outside the curtain grew increasingly noisy.

After each loser came out, they were questioned repeatedly, because two hours after the selection of humans began, only one fire-chewing hyena remained.

Everyone who hasn't gone in yet feels like they are its master, the chosen one destined to capture the high-potential monster cub.

But when everyone came out, they could only shake their heads and sigh, looking helpless.

As more and more people fail, people's expectations rise, and they become deeply curious about who this one and only lucky one will be.

Some busybodies have even started betting odds outside the venue, wagering that the owner of the hyena that has been chewed up will appear among no more than ten, fifty, or one hundred people.

"Kid, it's your turn."

As the sun set, the number of people queuing outside the curtain dwindled, and the previously noisy conversations also subsided.

A boy who had been in line for a long time, slowly inching his way here, finally lifted the curtain.

He looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, just reaching the age where he could start exploring various professions.

When this guy arrived, everyone around him was laughing. After all, how could a young guy with no professional skills attract the attention of a fire-chewing hyena?

Don't you even look at how many people that remaining fire-chewing hyena has already turned down?

After this guy went in, let alone being chosen by the fire-chewing hyena, it's commendable that he wasn't scared by that monster cub, considering he was just a child.

Just as everyone was shaking their heads, the little guy at the end of the line, after entering the curtain, suddenly barked. The little fire hyena that had been ignoring the animal trainer had been barking.

The sound was not loud; those a little distance from the curtain could not hear it at all.

But this very sound caused the expressions of the several animal trainers who had been waiting outside to change rapidly.

Chapter 139 Hero Template Holder

"Hey, why hasn't that kid come out yet after going in for so long?"

"Could that fire-chewing hyena have followed this little guy?"

The fire-chewing hyena only interacted with each person for about five minutes. Seeing that the boy had not come out for a long time, the people outside the curtain couldn't help but murmur among themselves.

The faces of those who first heard the barking of the fire-chewing hyena grew increasingly grim.

The few guys closest to the curtain, who have been guarding it all along, are the original losers, and also members of different factions within the Hunter's Guild. They are waiting here to see which side will get the last Flame-Chewing Hyena.

"What if that kid succeeds? Whose side is he on?"

"Quickly send someone to investigate that kid's background; he looks completely unfamiliar to me..."

The outside chatter couldn't affect those inside the curtained area, where Bell was in charge.

The new young man who just arrived is now cuddling with the last fire-chewing hyena. Anyone with even a slightly stronger mental strength standing there can feel the young man's aura mixed with the fire-chewing hyena's aura, as if they were perfectly blended.

The complete fusion of the auras of two different individuals is no easy feat.

Bell and Edu's auras can be completely integrated, leaving no trace to outsiders, thanks to Bell's powerful mental strength and Edu's weak aura. Under Bell's control, Bell completely takes over Edu's body.

Besides, the complete fusion of the auras of different individuals is more commonly seen in cases like twins, or in professions that spend decades learning combined attack techniques.

The fact that this teenage boy could so easily and helplessly merge his aura with that of the fire-chewing hyena shows that he is no ordinary person.

He's weak; he hasn't even officially entered professional training yet. Edu could take on five or six of him.

But this guy's panel has an entry that ordinary humans don't have, an entry that Bell only saw once before his reincarnation.

[Human Boy]

Type: Human (Hero Template)

grade:

Health:

Mental strength:

magic:

Lucky:

Skills: [None]

This is a little guy with the [Hero Template]. Although he doesn't have magic power yet, is only level one, and his attributes aren't amazing, this template is enough to make Bell look at him differently.

Among the various templates that Bell saw before his reincarnation, the [Hero Template] and [Demon King Template] belonged to the strongest tier. Compared to the normal templates, their attribute values ​​were extremely explosive. In terms of combat power, they were all invincible at the same level and could take on dozens of formidable characters at once.

The young warrior in front of me doesn't seem to have started to grow yet. Apart from having a very high luck attribute, his other attributes are not particularly outstanding.

But Bell knew the value of the Luck attribute. Based on his experience using [Information Insight] so many times, he knew that normal people wouldn't have the Luck attribute.

People who possess even a bit of luck tend to have better lives than those who lack it.

It could be finding spare change in daily life, receiving help from a benefactor by chance, or narrowly escaping death in a life-or-death situation.

Luck manifests in many ways, but it's difficult to actively utilize this attribute.

'This kid's luck attribute is a whopping five points! Even with all my luck-boosting items, I only have four. Is this luck attribute a result of the [Hero Template]? Or is it just that he's incredibly lucky, which is why he possesses the [Hero Template]?'

With these thoughts in mind, Bell focused a large amount of his mental energy on [Information Insight], wanting to delve deeper into the [Hero Template] on this guy.

His free-flowing thoughts gradually came to a halt as he continued to delve deeper into [information insights].

[Hero Template (Not Activated)]

Additional status: None

The Path of Destiny: Not yet opened

The boy in front of me has not yet activated his [Hero Template], and he cannot obtain any additional attributes from it.

The reason it wasn't activated is largely related to something called the 'Path of Destiny'. It seems that only by embarking on the Path of Destiny can a hero grow at an astonishing speed and gradually evolve into an unkillable cockroach, capable of unleashing bursts of power through friendship and bonds.

Bell recalled the introduction to the world's background that he had heard before his reincarnation, in which only one word was mentioned: "hero."

With just the simple phrase, "The hero and the demon king are locked in an endless cycle of battle," Bell can glimpse a corner of this earth-shattering conflict.

"Ugh... another troublesome guy."

With a sigh, Bell ended the selection process. The last Fire Hound had been assigned a owner and could not be with anyone else.

Meanwhile, the little guy, unaware of his own hero identity, was happily chewing on a fire hyena cub, snot bubbles popping from his nose.

He walked out of the curtain carrying the fire-chewing hyena cub, attracting the attention of everyone present.

In an instant, the Hunter's Guild's small square erupted in chaos, far exceeding the uproar caused by any previous selection of a Fire-Chewing Hyena.

After those people successfully took away the fire-chewing hyena, people could still analyze it a bit, wondering whose beast tamer it was, what kind of genius boy it was, or what unique skills its subordinates possessed.

Only this little guy who came out didn't even have a specific profession. After going in for a while, he took down the fire-chewing hyena that no one else could defeat.

"Look at what I'm doing."

Despite being stared at by hundreds of eyes, the little guy holding the fire-chewing hyena showed no signs of stage fright. Instead, he curiously looked around.

He put the fire-chewing hyena pup down. Although the fire-chewing hyena pup was a small dog, it was still the size of a lamb and weighed more than ten kilograms.

Before things got out of hand, Director Angie, a trap expert, came over and forcefully cleared the area, dispersing all the people gathered in the square.

Although he was subservient to Julianne, as a board member, he could still strike hard against these ordinary members.

"Little one, come with me."

Director Angie led the still-growing hero to the second floor of the Hunter's Guild. Bell didn't know what he wanted to talk to the little guy about, but he probably wanted him to study at the Hunter's Guild. After all, having a fire-chewing hyena cub at the age of eleven or twelve was practically a natural-born beast tamer.

Bell didn't care what Director Angie wanted to talk to this young hero about; he only cared about how much money the Hunter's Guild was going to give him.

By handing over the Fire-Chewing Hyenas to the Hunter's Guild for care, Bell wasn't doing a free charity event; he charged for each Fire-Chewing Hyena.

Before leaving, Julianne promised Bell that he could take things from Julianne's private vault, and now it all depends on how much the Hunter's Guild is willing to bleed.
