Chapter 122: Chapter 109: A Shocking Discovery!
September 23, Monday.
Sunny.
Today is Chen Yuan’s third day of mountain patrol, and he got up early, taking Cola, Spark, and the Electric Flying Cat into the mountains.
Walking through the dense forest, patches of sunlight dappled the ground, and Chen Yuan turned his head to the Electric Flying Cat, “I’ll be counting on you this time.”
After a week of persistent training, the Electric Flying Cat had slimmed down considerably, no longer feeling burdened by its weight while flying.
It had once again become the shadowy night thief it was when it stole the Luminous Fruit, spreading its wings and flying nimble in mid-air.
“Dian Dian~”
The Electric Flying Cat perched on a branch, looking solemnly as it nodded towards Chen Yuan.
The Electric Flying Cat’s task was to search for Spirit Plants in the mountains, and in this, its sense of smell was sharper than Cola’s.
Unfortunately, by the time they reached Sang Biao’s place, the Electric Flying Cat still hadn’t found any Spirit Plants.
No, it actually did find a large tree that bore Spirit Plants, but the Spirit Plants had long been plucked.
Come to think of it, in the wild, Spirit Plants are either guarded by Pet Beasts or harvested right after they ripen.
Additionally, Chen Yuan noticed that the terrain in the mountains had changed a bit since his last visit, even making him feel unfamiliar.
“It must be the impact of the rain,” Chen Yuan thought to himself.
Arriving in front of the Blazing Fruit tree, Chen Yuan called out, “Sang Biao, Sang Biao, I brought you something tasty!”
“Hmm?”
A fiery red figure gracefully emerged from behind the Blazing Fruit tree, moving elegantly with a large, fluffy tail tip ablaze.
At the sight of Chen Yuan, the Flame-tailed Fox immediately cast a reproachful look.
I’ve told you not to call me by that name!
Chen Yuan chuckled and pointed to his backpack, “I brought you something nice.”
“Hmm!”
The Flame-tailed Fox’s eyes lit up, and it trotted over eagerly, leaping up to grab the backpack.
“Take it easy now.”
Chen Yuan put down the backpack, placing the specially brought jam bread in front of the Flame-tailed Fox.
The last time they parted at Crescent Lake, the Flame-tailed Fox had hoped to have jam bread again, something Chen Yuan hadn’t forgotten.
“Hmm hmm.”
As the Flame-tailed Fox lowered its head to eat the jam bread, Chen Yuan crouched down, gently stroking its fiery red, silky fur.
Despite living alone in the wild, the Flame-tailed Fox obviously hadn’t forgotten to groom its fur.
A little beauty-loving girl indeed.
Meanwhile, the data panel of the Flame-tailed Fox slowly emerged:
[Race: Flame-tailed Fox
Attribute: Fire
Level: 5 (Tier One)
Favorability: 80
Skills: Flame Surge (Basic 2.1/3) + Flame Energy Assault (Basic 1.3/3) +
Quality: Common
Promotion to Elite Quality Conditions: Unlockable]
Compared to the little guys on the farm, the Flame-tailed Fox’s strength was improving at a noticeably slower pace, but it was enough to protect itself in this area.
“Oh, the favorability has broken through to 80.” Chen Yuan looked surprised.
Besides Cola and Spark, the Flame-tailed Fox was the third Pet Beast to have its favorability break through to 80.
Chen Yuan simply hadn’t figured out what favorability was truly for.
While the Flame-tailed Fox ate the jam bread, Chen Yuan told the three little ones to rest where they were, and he casually sat down on a big rock.
“It’d be nice to have a rideable Pet Beast.”
Every time he felt tired from walking, Chen Yuan wished he had a Pet Beast to carry him over mountains and ridges.
But unfortunately, none of the little guys on the farm were capable of being a rideable Pet Beast.
“Awooo!”
Cola, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised its head, its aqua blue eyes staring ahead, growling warningly.
“Oh? Is there another Pet Beast coming?” Chen Yuan casually asked.
With Spark and Cola guarding him, Chen Yuan felt full of security, confident that even if the whole pack of Snow Cloud Wolves lurking outside Nanhe Town appeared, he wouldn’t be afraid.
A snowy white figure emerged from the trembling bushes. This was clearly a fox-type Pet Beast, snow-white in color, standing out from the surrounding environment.
It was about the same size as the Flame-tailed Fox, with a tuft of pale blue hair on its head, a tail reminiscent of soft cotton candy, and amber eyes that scanned Chen Yuan and the three little ones before settling on the Flame-tailed Fox. It let out a soft croon and lowered its body, assuming a battle stance.
If Chen Yuan remembered correctly, this Pet Beast was named Ice Fox, an Ice Attribute, naturally of Common quality.
Chen Yuan looked at it in surprise, then turned to the Flame-tailed Fox, “Looking for trouble with you?”
“Hmm…”
The Flame-tailed Fox didn’t elaborate much, looking into those amber eyes as its expression grew serious. It cautiously pushed the jam bread to the side, then stepped forward, the flames at its tail tip flaring up, and sparks began popping out from its mouth.
“Dian Dian!”
Seeing the Flame-tailed Fox and the Ice Fox confront each other, the Electric Flying Cat grew excited, its cheek pouches crackling with electricity.
Fight! Fight!
Chen Yuan glanced at the Electric Flying Cat, who was thoroughly enjoying the show, and pulled it away from the battleground, leaving enough space for the two Pet Beasts.
Though unaware of the reason, Chen Yuan was definitely on Sang Biao’s side unconditionally.
But then again, these two fox-type Pet Beasts were equally attractive, with the Flame-tailed Fox being elegant and noble, while the Ice Fox possessed both cuteness and aloofness. The combination of these seemingly contradictory qualities made Chen Yuan want to hug it tight and pet it hard.
“Woo…”
The Ice Fox took the initiative, launching an attack by spitting out a crystal clear round ice block straight at the Flame-tailed Fox.
“Hmm.”
The Flame-tailed Fox dodged, easily avoiding the attack.
But evidently, the Ice Fox had anticipated that the ice block wouldn’t pose a threat to the Flame-tailed Fox. So, as soon as it spat out the ice block, it sprang forward, rapidly closing in on the Flame-tailed Fox.
