If they don’t leave, Chen Yuan actually wants to bring them over to try the Illusion Realm created by the Heart-Seeing Flower, so that in the future, facing pet beasts with similar skills won’t leave them at a loss.
As for Spark.....
Chen Yuan glanced at Spark flying in mid-air and shook his head slightly.
Unlike Cola, even if Cola is affected by the Illusion Realm and falls into a frenzy, Spark can easily suppress it.
But once Spark falls into a frenzy, all the pet beasts present combined would hardly be able to deal with it.
Although Chen Yuan knows that Spark’s mind is incredibly steadfast, having grown up without any psychological shadows.
On the contrary, Spark has been leaving psychological shadows for other pet beasts.
Yet Chen Yuan dares not gamble; he doesn’t want to face an uncontrollable Spark.
"Advisor Chen, is this the evolved form of the Flame Cloud Falcon? What’s its name?"
Shi Gang’s attention was always on Spark, having observed for a long time, still marveling at its majestic figure.
Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Yes, it’s now called the Blazing Heaven Falcon."
"Blazing Heaven Falcon..." Shi Gang repeated the name in his heart, deeply imprinting it in his mind.
Shi Yu shook his head; he had never seen this name anywhere.
Su Bamboo’s eyes sparkled, fixated on Spark: "Blazing Heaven Falcon, what a beautiful name."
Chen Yuan remained indifferent, smiling slightly: "I’m planning to send this fellow back to the valley while dealing with those Heart-Seeing Flowers. Do you want to join?"
"Okay." everyone responded in unison.
The starry sky filled the night, and the deep valley was close at hand.
This valley is vast, nestled among the surrounding mountains, no wonder it was taken as a habitat by the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard.
The night in the valley is eerily quiet, with only the gentle moonlight flowing through the air.
"So quiet." Su Bamboo witnessed the wilderness at night for the first time, looking puzzled, "Isn’t it said that wild pet beasts prefer to be active at night? Why aren’t there any?"
Song Wei, as the Forest Ranger, didn’t need to think, directly explaining: "Because they were scared away by the commotion caused by the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, the wild pet beasts that originally lived here will take a long time to return."
Su Bamboo nodded in understanding.
Chen Yuan didn’t pay attention to the two’s conversation, his eyes forward, soon spotting the Heart-Seeing Flower blooming quietly in a corner.
The night is deep, and the moonlight flows, reflecting the deep purple-blue blossoms.
Very beautiful, very enticing, at the first moment you see them you can’t help but get closer to observe, entranced by their splendor.
There are three Heart-Seeing Flowers, all blooming splendidly.
"Crackle..."
If it weren’t for the persuasion from the Twin Flower Concubine beside him, the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard would never have brought Chen Yuan and his party back to the vicinity of the Heart-Seeing Flower.
Despite this, at the first moment of seeing the Heart-Seeing Flower, the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard’s eyes showed fear, its massive body repeatedly backed up, then curled into a large round ball, its head hidden inside.
Everyone went silent for a moment.
The courage of the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard forms a stark contrast with its power and size, which of course is inseparable from its childhood experiences.
The psychological shadow of the past requires a lifetime to heal.
But if Cola had the same experience, it would certainly wreak havoc with far superior power, not to mention the Puppy Team, it would surely form a massive Puppy Army, establishing its "evil" rule worldwide.
"If you want to evolve, you’ll have to rely on yourself." Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Cola, a smile rising.
"Woof..."
Cola stared at the Heart-Seeing Flower for a while, hesitating to step forward.
It could clearly sense the danger contained within the Heart-Seeing Flower.
But when everyone’s gaze fell on it, Cola’s heart tightened, and immediately it no longer hesitated, raising its head, stepping forward.
Su Bamboo admired: "Advisor Chen’s Gale Hunting Dog is really brave."
In that moment, Cola raised its head higher, its tail swaggering left and right.
But when it got close to the Heart-Seeing Flower, its keen sense of smell immediately detected a scent, like the aroma of various delicious foods mixed together, Cola couldn’t help but sniff hard.
The next moment, Cola stopped in place, lying straight down towards the ground.
Chen Yuan: "..."
As expected of a level-four Spirit Plant, the Heart-Seeing Flower almost instantly trapped Cola in the Illusion Realm.
As the thought flashed by, Chen Yuan kept his gaze fixed on Cola, while having Spark ready to suppress Cola at any time.
However, after a long time, Cola still lay motionless on the ground, showing no response.
Chen Yuan frowned: "Passed out?"
Upon closer examination, Chen Yuan suddenly noticed Cola’s mouth slightly raised, even faintly drooling, its tail starting to wag gently.
Unlike the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard falling into the Illusion Realm and having nightmares, dominated by psychological shadows, Cola seemed to have fallen into a sweet dream.
"Woof..."
A moment later, Cola opened its eyes slowly, licking its lips with its tongue, showing a trace of reluctance, as if not quite finished with the Illusion Realm.
Chen Yuan crouched down, gazing at Cola, who wasn’t frenzied, and asked: "What was your Illusion Realm about?"
Everyone cast curious looks.
"Woof woof woof～"
The still-desiring Cola slowly answered the question.
It did indeed have a beautiful dream.
It dreamed of becoming the master’s initial pet beast, progressing rapidly, suppressing countless opponents, winning match after match, enjoying an endless array of cheers and applause, securing countless championships for its master, and being recognized as Donghuang’s top Gale Hunting Dog.
Internally, it was the undisputed leader, stuffing itself with Spirit Plants and Spirit Fish until full, Cola burping.
Externally, it led the Puppy Team through the mountains, commanding winds and clouds, with the mighty Qinling echoing the name of the Puppy Team leader.
Until one day, when it finally learned to fly, soaring into the blue sky, free as can be.
But Cola suddenly heard a clear cry, piercing the thick clouds, a golden-red figure appearing before its eyes...
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan suddenly spoke: "Did you encounter Spark?"
"Woof..."
Cola hung its head, whimpering softly.
Yes, the appearance of the big sister awoke it, ending the Illusion Realm prematurely.
Chen Yuan chuckled: "It seems this so-called Illusion Realm had no impact on you."
In his speculation, the so-called Illusion Realm should magnify deep inner desires, awaken sleeping bad memories.
But Cola’s growth experience was entirely different from the Thousand-Spine Rock Lizard, resulting in a vastly differing impact from the Illusion Realm.
Cola’s desires, as it dreamed, were simple as can be.
Chen Yuan nodded in realization: "Ultimately, not a Spirit-type Pet Beast, the created Illusion Realm has significant flaws."
Then, he looked at Cola: "Go on, pick the Heart-Seeing Flower."
