Chapter 269 - 172: Who Is the True Guardian of Qinling? (Part 2)
“Yuan, what do we do now?” Zhang Hao rubbed his hands and looked at Chen Yuan.
“You’re not scared?” Chen Yuan suddenly spoke.
“With you, I’m not afraid of anything.” Zhang Hao laughed cheekily.
Chen Yuan frowned and stepped back a few paces: “That’s too ambiguous, you should say that to your girlfriend.”
Zhang Hao quickly stepped forward, grinning: “Yuan, I’ve already thought it through. Once I catch the remaining three poachers, you have to take a picture of me with them.”
“I’ll stick it at the front of my farmhouse restaurant, with a caption saying — Recommended by Guardian of Qinling, Mr. Zhang Hao.”
Chen Yuan silently raised his middle finger.
“Quick, quick, quick, don’t let the Investigation Department seize the chance.” Zhang Hao urged impatiently, “By the way, Yuan, catching poachers has Contribution Value rewards.”
Chen Yuan straightened his stance: “Hmm?”
He’s not particularly interested in Contribution Value, but as a responsible Forest Ranger, it’s his duty to catch Pet Beast poachers.
At the same time,
“Awooo~”
Cola lowered its body, wagging its tail slightly, as it surrounded the masked man and the big guy together with the Electric Flying Cat, Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, and Run Run Duck.
Thanks to the Electric Flying Cat’s sneak attack, the Shadow Owl fell into a coma, losing its combat ability temporarily.
Although the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly was injured in its fierce battle with the Cloud Fox, it was still in good condition and had the stamina to fight.
The Monstrous Strong Monkey and Black Flame Dog were in similar states, only lightly hurt.
Meanwhile, the disturbance here had already alarmed Viper Tooth who was heading towards the cabin, and his Bone-breaking War Mastiff and Hammer Beast were rushing in at incredible speed.
“Awooo!”
With its master absent, the adventure team’s leader Cola took over command, issuing orders.
Defeat the enemies here as quickly as possible!
With the command given, the Electric Flying Cat initiated the attack first, generating electric light from its cheeks and yellow thin wings, instantly creating a dazzling lightning bolt reflected in the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly’s eyes.
The masked man’s expression remained unchanged, snapping his fingers again, a thought rising: “Send it back.”
The Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly gently flapped its wings, the fluorescent balls at the ends of its antennae glimmering faintly, and a surging invisible thought wave expanded outward, followed by a veil of hazy blue light over the lightning.
In the next moment, the lightning seemed to be grabbed by invisible hands, reversing its course, and directly striking at the Electric Flying Cat.
“Dian Dian!”
The Electric Flying Cat’s eyes widened in shock.
Why doesn’t my electricity obey?!
“Roar…”
A massive figure resolutely stepped forward to shield the Electric Flying Cat, the lightning pouring down, flickering with brilliant light.
But when the lightning struck the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, it was like sinking into oblivion; the creature remained unmoving, its brownish fur slightly swaying.
The Fallen Meteor Horned Beast only let out a low hum; as an Earth-type Pet Beast, it possessed excellent resistance to Thunder-type attacks.
“Awo!”
At this moment, Cola’s eyes narrowed, seizing the chance after the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly released its skill, several entities of Wind Blades surged around, and in an instant, with a whoosh, they were unleashed.
In the masked man’s eyes, this Gale Hunting Dog had a fierce gaze, a terrifying vibe, and his Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly likely wasn’t its opponent.
No, not likely, definitely!
He hurriedly issued orders for the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly to evade the attack.
The Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly first used Spiritual Thought Wave to block two Wind Blades, then wildly flapped its wings, whipping up a gust as it flew upwards, dispersing fluorescent scale powder.
Yang Yue saw this and loudly warned: “Careful, touching the scale powder might be poisonous.”
Though she couldn’t understand why Advisor Chen hadn’t appeared, they recognized these little ones.
The gatekeeper, Gale Hunting Dog, had shined brightly in battles as Chen Gu’s main Pet Beast.
The seemingly ordinary Spirit Plant watering Run Run Duck was actually a formidable creature not to be underestimated.
They hadn’t seen the Electric Flying Cat and Fallen Meteor Horned Beast before this, but the former had already shown its impressive power by ambushing and eliminating the Shadow Owl in one strike.
“Qingqing, we need to figure out a way to help them,” Yang Yue whispered.
“Okay,” Li Qing nodded lightly.
Although they believed in Cola’s strength, without Advisor Chen present, its combat abilities might be affected somewhat.
Plus, the Bone-breaking War Mastiff and Hammer Beast were approaching, two more challenging Pet Beasts.
They needed to do something to help ease Cola’s burden.
“Awoo~”
Cola leapt into the air, simultaneously raising a fierce wind that easily dispersed the scale powder the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly scattered, then lunged straight for it, biting the bluish butterfly wing.
The Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly felt a sharp pain, its body swinging violently, but it couldn’t shake off Cola, gradually descending.
The big guy’s eye flashed with a fierce glare; of course, he wouldn’t just watch the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly in danger, prompting the thought to emerge: “Help it.”
The Monstrous Strong Monkey and Black Flame Dog had long been ready to go, charging forward in an attempt to rescue the Star-Weaving Illusion Butterfly.
“Quack-quack!”
Run Run Duck certainly wouldn’t sit by passively, a trio of pentagrams shimmering on its forehead as it sprayed a surge of water pillars towards the Black Flame Dog!
Bang!
The Black Flame Dog never expected the Run Run Duck sitting on Fallen Meteor Horned Beast’s back to suddenly attack, hitting its side with a water column, bringing an irresistible force that sent its body flying backwards uncontrollably.
Not even a painful howl was heard as its soaked body crashed to the ground, the Black Flame Dog’s eyes closing.
One-hit knockout.
The big guy was left dumbstruck: “How could this be?!!”
