"Quack!"
As the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, larger than all the farm animals combined, fell heavily to the ground, its body charred like a roasted giant bug, Run Run Duck casually adjusted its hairstyle, as if it were not the boss who defeated the lizard, but itself.
But, both the boss and it live on the farm, work for the farmer, and are the most competent employees. By simply rounding up, Duck and I are equivalent to the boss, right?
The boss defeating the big guy is equivalent to me defeating it, right?
"Ahh..."
From afar, even Cola could clearly hear those inexperienced humans exclaiming one after another and shook its head.
What a fuss.
As long as Cola I had the chance to spar with this big guy, I...if I try hard, I also have hope to defeat it, okay!
"Croak..."
The Far Traveling Frog stared intently at the slowly descending Blazing Heaven Falcon, its eyes sparkling, and uttered a sincere exclamation.
It always felt that even the king wasn’t a match for this Pet Beast.
The king was right; it’s very necessary to build a good relationship with this human. Maybe we can use his power to occupy large territories and unify Qinling.
"Tweet~"
In front of everyone’s gaze, Spark landed lightly on the ground, of course, maintaining a safe distance from the fallen Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard.
As a mature Beastmaster, Chen Yuan would never recklessly approach any fallen Pet Beast.
Falling doesn’t mean it has completely lost its combat ability; perhaps it’s pretending to be unconscious, perhaps it still has the strength to struggle, just waiting for an opponent to step forward for a sneak attack.
Faced with this situation, Chen Yuan would usually choose to wait quietly until...
[Defeated Tier Three Extraordinary Creature, Source Point +0.5]
Good, now I can approach.
Having a system means Chen Yuan doesn’t need to figure out if the opponent is truly unconscious, the system’s notifications never lie.
Jumping down from Spark’s back, Chen Yuan walked slowly forward until he was close to the unconscious Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard and then stopped.
Raising his head, looking ahead, observing this behemoth up close, he deeply realized the terror of its size, like a solid wall, covered in hundreds of Rock Armors forming the strongest defense, ignoring normal attacks.
It’s said that an inch longer means an inch stronger; the terrifying size of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard allows it to overawe most Pet Beasts of the same tier, unfortunately, it encountered the newly evolved Spark.
Thoughts swirling, Chen Yuan stared at the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard in deep thought: "Why did this guy attack Daping Village?"
Given the personality of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, it shouldn’t do such a thing.
Furthermore, its previous state was very strange, like it was under some violent stimulus, falling into an uncontrolled frenzy.
Rather than viewing it as a brutal and violent Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, Chen Yuan leaned more towards external factors affecting it.
But Chen Yuan rushed here, unaware of the ins and outs of the whole situation, so he gathered his thoughts and turned to look at a group of Beastmasters standing not far away.
Upon witnessing the defeat of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, the Beastmasters had varied reactions. Some wanted to approach to investigate and greet the legendary Advisor Chen; others, intimidated by Advisor Chen’s reputation and the potential danger of the lizard, chose not to get close.
After some consideration, none of the Beastmasters stepped forward, only observing from afar.
But when Chen Yuan actively looked towards them, someone raised their arm and shouted, "Advisor Chen is awesome!"
Like a stone thrown into water, creating waves, the crowd began to cheer and applaud.
Usually only seen dazzling on TV, Advisor Chen’s presence at the scene allowed them to witness the breathtaking duel firsthand, deepening their understanding of his strength.
But all the words finally condensed into two simple, heartfelt words: "Awesome."
Chen Yuan responded with a slight smile, then glanced around and asked loudly, "Who is the Forest Ranger here?"
A moment later, Song Wei approached Chen Yuan, explaining the details of the sudden incident.
Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, I understand."
He then fell into contemplation.
As he suspected, this gigantic Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard indeed seemed off; its behavior and reaction were definitely due to some stimulus.
What kind of stimulus could it be?
Chen Yuan glanced at the unconscious Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, deciding to wait for it to wake up before making a plan.
To understand the situation deeply, asking the involved party is undoubtedly the best choice.
As for whether the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard would go mad again upon waking, Chen Yuan wasn’t worried about that issue.
"Ooo~"
Cola brought three little ones to Chen Yuan, wagging its tail, looking at Chen Yuan eagerly, as if asking for recognition.
Although it didn’t defeat the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard like the boss, it successfully protected the people and Duck and them; even without merit, it had labored.
Chen Yuan casually said: "Go back and drink Cola."
"Ooo!" Cola nodded vigorously.
Chen Yuan’s voice continued: "We’ll wait for this guy to wake up. If it goes mad again, join Spark in subduing it."
"Ooo!"
Upon hearing this, Cola perked up its ears, straightened its upper body, tail hanging behind, immediately putting aside the thought of drinking Cola.
What fun is drinking Cola compared to taking center stage?
For a moment, Cola secretly hoped this big guy would wake up mad, and then it would subdue it, allowing everyone to witness Cola’s heroic performance.
Chen Yuan turned his head towards Run Run Duck and Electric Flying Cat, he didn’t speak, but his presence was imposing, eyes filled with inquiry and curiosity.
"Zzzt..."
Electric Flying Cat dared not meet Chen Yuan’s gaze directly, quickly turning its head, averting its eyes, pretending to look at the distant dense forest, its tail swaying unnaturally.
