"Quack quack!"
Run Run Duck was quite justified, holding its head high as it explained the origin of the matter to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan’s expression became very strange: "You guys came all this way just to exchange Spirit Plants?"
"Ribbit ribbit~"
Far Traveling Frog answered this question on behalf of Run Run Duck, stating that exchanging Spirit Plants with humans is safer as they don’t have to worry about being robbed, and they can even bargain with humans.
If they exchange with other Pet Beasts, they might get swallowed before the exchange is even complete.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan helplessly laughed: "Alright, but be careful and don’t go too far."
The farm’s security system has been fully upgraded. The Puppy Team and Violent Cloud Sparrow Flock patrol the village from morning till night. The Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle lives nearby, and there’s a group of little ones at Tier Two in the farm, so it’s very safe.
Moreover, Iron Head is progressing very quickly and is currently the farm’s member closest to Tier Three.
Perhaps because it has a single-minded focus, spending all its days and nights practicing [Steel Blade], and dedicating the rest of its time to physical training, its progress has been rapid.
Before long, the body of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard trembled slightly, and its tail swayed unconsciously.
"Awoo awoo!!!"
Cola, ever on the alert, immediately had its eyes lit up. A breeze suddenly surrounded it, its light brown fur swayed slightly, ready to unleash a thunderous strike at any moment.
I have to beat the boss to it and defeat it first!
This time I want to make a name for myself!
"Crackling..."
In Cola’s expectant eyes, the gigantified Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard slowly awakened, first opening its gigantic eyes like lanterns, flickering with eerie light, as its massive body squirmed.
Its movements seemed slight, yet its huge body inevitably caused a great commotion, making all the Beastmasters retreat repeatedly.
Cola was fully prepared, with imposing momentum, ready to launch an attack anytime;
Spark flew high in the sky, with a calm gaze, its beak surging with flames;
Chen Yuan retreated far back, a Spiritual Power Protection Shield appearing around him, as Run Run Duck and Electric Flying Cat grabbed onto his left and right legs, curiously peeking forward.
Chen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh: "Weren’t you guys very brave earlier?"
"Crackling..."
The Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard fully awakened, its gigantic eyes rolling around, its surroundings coming into view, it froze in place for a long time.
"Awoo awoo!"
Cola’s urgent cry caught the attention of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, turning its head to meet the battle-ready, azure blue eyes head-on.
Cola stood on the ground, fur swaying, full of anticipation in its eyes.
"Crackling!"
At this moment, the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard seemed to have seen something very frightening, displaying a clear sign of fear in its giant eyes, its feet shuffling as its massive body retreated continuously, only stopping when it bumped into the mountain behind.
Chen Yuan’s expression was odd.
The Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard that woke up again seemed quite different from what he had expected.
It didn’t go berserk and attack everything again, nor did it quietly stay to observe the situation; instead...it seemed to be scared by Cola.
A Tier Three giganta-size Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard scared by a Gale Hunting Dog?
"Awoo..."
Cola was equally puzzled, it hadn’t even attacked yet, so why was the big guy behaving like this?
Could it be that...it was intimidated by my aura?
The rest were equally puzzled:
"Is this the same Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard that couldn’t wait to turn the world upside down earlier?"
"Maybe Advisor Chen scared it."
"Tweet?"
Spark looked puzzled, slowly spreading its wings forward, trying to approach the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard to see what was going on.
But as soon as the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard saw Spark approaching, it quickly recalled the scenes from before, shuddering all over, letting out a mournful whimper as it lowered its head and curled up.
In no time, the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard curled itself into a ball, exposing the outer layer of its Rock Armor, hiding its head deep inside.
Seeing the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard’s reaction, Chen Yuan frowned, his mind filled with even more confusion: "What is this guy trying to do?"
"Advisor Chen, I have a guess, not sure if it’s accurate." Song Wei’s voice quietly arose.
Chen Yuan turned his head to look at her, nodding: "Go ahead."
Song Wei pursed her lips, hesitating in her tone: "Advisor Chen, I’m very interested in insect-type Pet Beasts, both of my contracted Pet Beasts are of this type, so I have some understanding of them."
"When insect-type Pet Beasts are engulfed in fear and terror, they will react this way."
"They try using this method to avoid predator attacks."
"You can also interpret this behavior as playing dead."
Listening to Song Wei’s explanation, Chen Yuan gazed at the curled Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, hesitating on what to say.
Just getting beaten once by Spark, that made this guy so scared?
This is in stark contrast with its previously wild and fierce demeanor, forming a strong impression of difference.
The dove of thought circled in his mind, Chen Yuan gazed at the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard for a long time, eventually speaking in a gentler tone: "Um... I harbor no ill intentions toward you, if you don’t mind, we can communicate nicely."
The Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, like an isolated child, remained tightly curled, with the cold light glistening on its Rock Armor, still unchanged.
It seemed not to want to pay attention to Chen Yuan.
However, whenever the curious Cola approached a bit closer, its body would tremble violently, as if Cola was the monster that wreaked havoc in Daping Village, while it was just an innocent victim.
Chen Yuan was momentarily speechless.
The current situation was indeed unexpected.
The Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard did not rampage again, nor did it engage in peaceful communication, but instead fell silent, becoming a shutdown Pet Beast.
"Hum hum~"
Suddenly, his cheek was gently touched. Turning his head to look, the Twin Flower Concubine smiled brightly, waving her arms, with her pink headdress dazzling in the sunlight.
