"But it looks very strong."
Shi Yu: "?"
Did Advisor Chen’s Flame Cloud Falcon evolve quietly?
He had been feeling smug about the Rock Meteor Giant’s breakthrough, thinking that perhaps by leveraging an attribute advantage, he could barely contend with the Flame Cloud Falcon, only to find out that the Flame Cloud Falcon evolved?
What is there to fight now?
"Give me a detailed account." Advisor Shi sat on a large rock, listening intently to what happened after the two had parted ways.
As Shi Yu recounted the story, time gradually passed, dusk washed over Qinling, the mountain ridge like a blue-gray blade, the last ray of light sliding over the barren woods, startling flocks of birds into flight.
"You did well; indeed you should report intelligence directly to Advisor Chen." Advisor Shi nodded in agreement, preparing to say something when he noticed the Rock Meteor Giant and the Abyssal Giant Bear simultaneously looking up ahead, their expressions turning serious.
What happened again?
The next moment, the ground faintly trembled, its frequency growing more violent, the towering mountain flanks seeming to shake slightly.
The two turned their heads to meet each other’s eyes, immediately feeling uneasy.
Such a familiar feeling, could it be.....
In no time,
a massive figure resembling a towering city wall slowly emerged in their line of sight, its numerous legs moving in unison until the entire view was filled.
Under an increasingly dim sky, their faces flickered in and out of shadow, their gazes unprecedentedly solemn.
"Could even Advisor Chen not be a match for this creature?"
As the gargantuan Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard’s silhouette gradually approached, its immense body seemingly blending into the thickening night, Shi Gang furrowed his brows deeply, his voice low.
Compared to the barely maintaining composure Shi Gang, Shi Yu’s expression turned abruptly somber, clenching his fist tightly, remaining silent for a moment.
If Advisor Chen is no match for the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, wouldn’t Wei and his disciples all.....
Wouldn’t the originally spared Daping Village suffer yet another disaster?
Thinking of this, Shi Yu felt a heavy heart, his breathing becoming rapid.
In his mind, the enlarged Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard had already approached them, casting a vast shadow that engulfed them, the almost tangible oppressive force chilling them to the bone, their bodies involuntarily trembling.
"Roar!"
Although suppressed by the dreadful aura, the Rock Meteor Giant and the Abyssal Giant Bear still raised their heads and roared, their eyes bursting with brilliance, attempting to confront the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard.
For a moment, the two retreated silently, their two Pet Beasts stepping forward, facing the encroaching Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard head-on.
The atmosphere was heavy, an invisible murderous aura swirling around them.
"Master, Second Master!"
At this moment, Su Bamboo’s voice rang from above, instantly breaking the heavy atmosphere, forcibly pulling back the two’s wandering thoughts.
Shi Yu looked up in a daze, only to see the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard slowly lowering its massive head.
Under the pitch-black sky, several silhouettes could vaguely be seen standing on the head of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, two of them familiar to Shi Yu.
Song Wei and Su Bamboo.
The previous seriousness and heavy expressions vanished in an instant, his face broke into a smile, waving his hand: "Why are you here?"
"And.....still standing on this guy’s head?"
Compared to Shi Yu, Shi Gang’s attention was entirely on another silhouette, squinting his eyes as the figure of a black-haired youth came into view.
"Woof woof!"
Beside the black-haired youth, a majestic Gale Hunting Dog raised its head and barked, its demeanor as spirited as ever.
Shi Gang relaxed his vigilance, crossing his arms, his expression complex: "Advisor Chen, we meet again."
...
"So, you’re saying, the real culprit behind all this is that Heart-Seeing Flower that puts creatures into an illusion?"
"The Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard is also a victim?"
Hearing the whole incident, Shi Yu’s expression was rather peculiar.
Previously, he was always outraged by the actions of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, considering the damage it caused to Daping Village unforgivable, but he never imagined that this big guy was also a victim.
It didn’t want to do these things, just wished to stay quietly in the valley without any creatures disturbing it.
Chen Yuan nodded with a smile: "Yes, this guy is actually quite pitiful. Despite its massive size, it was bullied by its kind, leaving it with serious psychological shadows."
"After falling into the Illusion Realm, these psychological shadows became the most terrifying Heart Demon, pushing it into an uncontrollable frenzy."
Hearing this, everyone remained silent.
Su Bamboo’s voice suddenly rose: "The Heart-Seeing Flower is so formidable, how should we get rid of it?"
"If left unchecked, the same thing might happen again in the future."
Song Wei nodded in agreement: "Exactly, that’s what worries me. The impact of this Spirit Plant can be so frightening, it might affect other Pet Beasts."
Faced with their questions, Chen Yuan smiled slightly and turned to face Cola: "Go pick the Heart-Seeing Flower."
"Woof?"
Cola tilted its head, looking confused.
Me?
Chen Yuan squatted halfway, locking eyes with Cola’s sapphire-blue eyes, maintaining his smile: "It’s alright, as long as your mind is firm enough, you won’t be affected by the Illusion Realm."
"Once you pull the Heart-Seeing Flower out of the ground, it will be unable to exert its influence."
"Cola, I believe in you."
According to what my brother said, if one can escape the Illusion Realm crafted by the Heart-Seeing Flower through willpower, they can somewhat enhance their resistance to Spirit Type Skills.
Spiritual Skills are hard to guard against, and they are mysterious in battle, becoming quite tricky once hit, so enhancing resistance is crucial.
"It’s a pity Duck and the others already left," Chen Yuan said with regret.
After learning about the cause and effect, since Chen Yuan had to stay in Weixian County to study, he sent the two little ones back first with the Far Traveling Frog, to prevent their grandfather from worrying.
