The village, once peaceful and harmonious, was thrown into chaos by the sudden intrusion of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard.
"Fortunately, the people have already evacuated," Chen Yuan whispered, watching the terrifying destructive power of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard.
Previously following the navigation, Spark didn’t lose direction and flew over a hundred kilometers in a short time, quickly approaching Daping Village.
Just as they were nearing the last stretch to Daping Village, local Forest Ranger Song Wei called to report the situation, prompting Chen Yuan to urge Spark to accelerate, barely making it in time.
Indeed, this Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard was not something Advisor Shi and the others could handle; even the pre-evolution Flame Cloud Falcon would have found it difficult to defeat.
Its massive size endowed it with terrifying strength and solid defense, and as an Earth-type Pet Beast, the ground-burrowing Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard naturally had an advantage over Fire-type Pet Beasts.
But... Spark was no longer the pre-evolutionary Flame Cloud Falcon.
Now it was the Blazing Heaven Falcon, a compound attribute Pet Beast of Fire and Light types.
"But... why are Duck and the Electric Flying Cat here?" Chen Yuan frowned, seeing them from afar, flapping their wings under a house, waving at him.
Shouldn’t they be in the farm?
How did they show up in Daping Village?
Could it be another one of the Electric Flying Cat’s tricks?
"Electric Flying Cat, I’ll remember this!"
With no time to consider further, Chen Yuan swiftly scanned his surroundings, quickly formulating a battle plan.
"No, it’s best to draw the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard to an open area; this isn’t a suitable battlefield," Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened.
If they battled in Daping Village, the collateral damage from the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard and Spark’s fight would completely destroy the village, reducing it from chaos to ruins.
Unlike some TV and anime superheroes who only worry about saving lives, without regard for personal and public property damage, Chen Yuan, as a Qin Province Beastmaster Association Advisor, had more to consider.
Thus, battling in Daping Village would unavoidably constrain Spark, preventing it from using its full power.
With an excellent view from above, Chen Yuan soon spotted a large empty plot in the northwest of Daping Village, flat terrain with some building materials, seemingly intended for new construction.
Fighting there would minimize the damage.
"Lure it over there," with a thought, Chen Yuan issued the command.
"Chirp~"
Spark nodded slightly, its sharp eyes locking onto the rampaging Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, its beak suddenly unleashing a searing fire pillar, Flame Surge tearing through the air, surging forth!
The blazing firelight reflected in the eyes of both humans and Pet Beasts present, like a roaring fire dragon, flames billowing, scorching heat; at that moment, they seemed immersed in a furnace, their bodies burning hot.
Shi Yu’s eyes were blank, murmuring, "Advisor Chen has become stronger again..."
Upon seeing Chen Yuan appear, Su Bamboo fell into a frenzy, clenching her fists, looking skyward, "Master, when did Advisor Chen acquire this Pet Beast?"
Shi Yu snapped back, speaking solemnly, "This is the Flame Cloud Falcon, or more precisely, the evolved form of the Flame Cloud Falcon."
Pausing to meet puzzled glances, he patiently explained, "Advisor Chen is a High-tier Beastmaster; during the Da Feng Cup, he had already contracted the Flame Cloud Falcon, Gale Hunting Dog, and Twin Flower Concubine, with no extra contract slots."
"And considering Advisor Chen’s character, he certainly wouldn’t abandon any Pet Beast in favor of contracting another."
"Thus, this Pet Beast must be the evolved form of the Flame Cloud Falcon, with Fire-type attributes, capable of flight, and with some resemblance. When multiple similarities come together, it’s certainly not a coincidence."
The Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard barely noticed the sudden Flame Stream, its back suddenly enduring severe trauma, with hundreds of Rock Armors simultaneously scorched, glowing red.
"Crack!"
Next moment, the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard violently shook its body, trying to shake off the spreading intense heat, simultaneously letting out a soul-piercing wail that echoed across Daping Village’s skies.
Boom!!!
The swinging rear body slammed into walls, stones flying, dust swirling.
"Crack!"
Soon, the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard raised its head, gazing at Spark hovering high, eyes bursting with violent and fierce light, seemingly an enraged, frenzied beast, its roars following.
Rumble!
At that instant, the twenty-some-meter-long body of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard suddenly stretched as though equipped with springs, leaping from the ground, instantly approaching Spark, jaws wide open for a bite.
Spark, long cautious, gently flapped its broad wings at that moment of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard’s leap, a single flutter raising a whirlwind that carried it higher, effortlessly dodging the sudden attack.
But at that moment, Chen Yuan could observe the massive head of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard and the fierce light in its giant eyes up close, his heart inexplicably tensing.
Close encounter starkly revealed its terrifying size; a giant object phobia sufferer might have fainted on the spot.
Fortunately, Chen Yuan was only slightly affected, but he quickly furrowed his brow.
This creature’s state was extremely abnormal.
As far as he knew, the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard’s temperament had nothing to do with violence or ferocity. Such Pet Beasts habitually dwell underground, distinctively reclusive crawlers, albeit intimidating in appearance, they never seek trouble.
This gigantic Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard’s frenzied reaction—is it provoked by something?
But now is not the time to delve into reasons; he must first calm this creature down.
Only with his fists could he make each rampaging Pet Beast obediently listen to him.
