Ah? Me?
The reactions of those watching were understandable, and Xia Heng was no exception. He stared at the firestorm in the sky, dazed for a moment, then took a deep breath, and a thought suddenly surfaced: "Furious Wave Crocodile."
"Roar?"
The Furious Wave Crocodile was watching a spark fall to the ground, an explosion echoing, fire waves surging. Its body trembled slightly, struggling to avert its gaze, awaiting the Beastmaster’s command.
Could the Beastmaster really have a solution in such a situation?
"Run."
"Run quickly."
Xia Heng’s voice resonated in the mind of the Furious Wave Crocodile, the latter turned back, eyes full of shock.
Xia Heng remained silent.
Seeing this, the Furious Wave Crocodile didn’t care about much else. Sometimes it maneuvered its huge body to dodge the falling sparks, other times it sprayed columns of water to fend off the sparks.
But the falling sparks seemed endless, the Furious Wave Crocodile had no time to look up, only hearing deafening explosions erupting next to its ears.
Boom!
Suddenly, a seven-color rainbow feather wrapped in fire exploded overhead, the Furious Wave Crocodile felt its spine sink, body collapsing, the blast wave making it pause, the painful sensation spreading.
Boom! Boom!
And at that instant, several rainbow feathers took the opportunity to explode consecutively at the head and tail of the Furious Wave Crocodile, sparks flying, explosions resounding, the Furious Wave Crocodile engulfed in rolling black smoke.
When the sparks ceased and the black smoke dissipated, the night returned to calm. With starlight, Xia Heng looked forward—the battered Furious Wave Crocodile was sprawled in a deep pit, looking miserable.
Xia Heng’s gaze was vacant, plunging into a long silence.
Mulate walked slowly to Xia Heng’s side, gently patting his shoulder, without speaking, just sighing.
He had always said Xia Heng shouldn’t have come back.
"Cooh..."
Spark folded its wings, posture light and graceful, slowly landing beside Chen Yuan.
Looking closely, Chen Yuan noticed Spark was breathing slightly heavily, clearly not in good condition.
"Seems using that skill consumes Spark’s stamina significantly."
And through Spark’s feedback, Chen Yuan confirmed his guess.
After using Rainbow Fire Conflagration, Spark’s stamina decreased by more than half, and it couldn’t be used again soon.
Chen Yuan couldn’t help but recall yesterday’s match with Blazing Soul Flame Monarch.
The racial skill used by Blazing Soul Flame Monarch was blocked by Spark’s Flame Storm, clearly unable to compete with Spark in the subsequent clash, almost losing the Heavy Sword.
Now thinking back, at that time the Blazing Soul Flame Monarch must have been in the same situation as Spark now, stamina greatly decreased, unable to hold the Heavy Sword firmly.
"Rainbow Fire Conflagration should only be used as the final trump card to seal the deal at the critical moment." Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed, quickly making a decision.
Thoughts flickering, Chen Yuan looked forward, seeing the unconscious Furious Wave Crocodile on the ground, shaking his head helplessly: "Seems we can’t experiment with Radiant Light."
After a fierce battle, everyone engaged in endless discussion, Xia Heng silently treating the Furious Wave Crocodile’s injuries, while Spark moved close to Chen Yuan, slowly lowering its body to reveal its broad back.
Chen Yuan blinked in surprise: "What’s this for?"
"Cooh~"
With golden-red eyes flashing, Spark’s thoughts surfaced in Chen Yuan’s mind.
It wanted to test whether it could carry Chen Yuan and fly now.
Chen Yuan’s eyes lit up, excitement flooding his expression.
Don’t say, Spark’s figure had grown two or three times bigger; and with its wide back enough to carry a person, it might indeed fly with him!
In the blink of an eye, as thoughts flickered, Chen Yuan already stepped forward, touched Spark’s soft feathers, and then leapt onto its back.
The flame crest feathers atop Spark’s head suddenly brightened, the golden aura at the edges of the red feathers flickered like breathing.
Everyone looked over, Spark flapped its wide wings, raising a fierce wind, a clear cry pierced the night: "Cooh!"
As Spark took off, Chen Yuan leaned close to its streamlined back, his black hair swaying in the gust, gently grasping Spark’s feathers.
His eyes carried both excitement and tension.
Indeed, he wasn’t afraid of heights; he’d even tried thrilling bungee jumps before, but being carried by a Pet Beast was a brand-new experience, a novel sensation.
At this moment, Pet Beasts capable of flight were unknown in number, but those able to carry a person in flight were absolutely few.
Perhaps considering Chen Yuan needed time to adapt, Spark’s ascent wasn’t fast, the process was slow and gentle, letting Chen Yuan ignore the winds, looking down at the gradually shrinking Cola and waving with a smile: "Cola, we’re going~"
"Chirrup~"
The Twin Flower Concubine crawled out from Chen Yuan’s shirt pocket, sliding down his arm to land on Spark’s back, feeling the softness of the feathers, while waving at Cola.
I’m leaving with "Mommy"~
"Yip yip yip yip yip!"
Watching the big sister carrying the master and Twin Flower Concubine ascending, rapidly shrinking in sight, Cola immediately panicked, chasing while yipping.
Master, don’t leave me!!!
Speeding along, Spark, controlling its flight speed deliberately, didn’t shake off Cola.
For a time, Spark soared high in the air, while the anxious Cola chased on the ground yipping constantly.
"Yip!"
Cola raised its eyes, expression full of indignation.
I must learn to fly!!!
Everyone laughed heartily.
In mid-air,
Once Chen Yuan fully adapted to the current flight speed, Spark stretched its wide wings completely, wingspan shadow exceeding five meters swept over the barren land, only to be lit by rainbow light the next second.
The tail feathers dragging a seven-colored trail seemed like a god wielding a brush, freely painting on the dense black night sky.
