Chapter 602 - 277: What Are the Duties of the Puppy Team Leader?

The night was deep, but a sudden storm completely shattered the nighttime tranquility of Pudaxue Mountain.

The wind howled, the wind surged, engulfing an area in an instant, sweeping up a blizzard of snow.

"Awoooo!"

Anxious to the core, Cola resolutely charged into the fierce storm, its streamlined body bursting out with a speed beyond sight, its light brown fur wildly flying, its fluffy tail swaying behind, and its sharp gaze scanning all around, searching for Sprite’s whereabouts.

"Awoo??"

Where exactly did the despicable wind take Sprite?

For the first time, Cola encountered such a situation; it could allow Sprite to refuse the Puppy Team’s invitation, accept its unannounced departure, but absolutely would not permit any external factor to take Sprite away!

Especially not when it happened right under its nose!

If it couldn’t find Sprite, it would feel ashamed of its position as the leader of the Puppy Team.

However, the process of finding Sprite was far from as simple as Cola imagined, as the swirling snow greatly obstructed its vision.

In such a harsh weather environment, finding the small Winter Dog was like climbing to the sky.

"Awoooo!"

But Cola’s eyes remained resolute, its steps firm, it couldn’t give up just like that.

Otherwise, it couldn’t face the disappointed gaze of its owner, nor all the members of the Puppy Team.

If, as a leader, it couldn’t protect them well, how could it talk about leading the Puppy Team across the mountains and wilderness, becoming the number one Puppy Team in Qinling?

Random thoughts flowed through its mind, Cola glanced around, and suddenly its ears twitched slightly, faintly hearing a wailing sound for help not far away.

Could it be Sprite?

Cola’s eyes lit up, and the swirling breeze around it seemed to merge with the storm, its speed underfoot quickened, darting straight towards the direction of the sound.

Before long, the Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard they previously encountered in the cave came into view.

Compared to its prior ferocity and vigilance, the creature’s current state was very poor, its fur still stained with blood, the entire body trapped under a large stone, struggling desperately but unable to break free.

The winds roared violently, shaking the stone, yet it made the Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard trapped underneath even more uncomfortable, its breath weakening rapidly.

"Roar..."

The struggles of the Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard gradually diminished, its tail drooped down, its gaze suddenly dimmed, and it let out a feeble, desperate cry.

Even a Pet Beast, in the face of such a natural phenomenon, was incredibly fragile.

Of course, the Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard, being of Thunder Attribute, was understandably unable to resist the storm, but that didn’t stop Cola from shaking its head.

To be crushed under a big stone, it simply lost face for us Pet Beasts!

If it were Iron Head, it would surely split the stone in half with a single strike, then stand firm in the storm, gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, putting on a show of casual indifference.

"Awo!"

The thoughts flashed quickly, and Cola decided to save this weak creature once.

In the next moment, Cola’s eyes focused, a circle of cyan ripples emanating from its toes, its body charged fiercely towards the large stone.

Aero Vortex Assault!

Bam!

Accompanied by a loud bang, the stone was torn apart like a sharp blade by the wind, instantly shattering into fragments, which were swiftly swept up into the air by the storm.

"Roar?"

The formerly despairing Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard lifted its head in confusion, coincidentally meeting a pair of serene aquamarine eyes, like a deep and unfathomable sea.

Escaping from the brink of death, the Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard hurriedly dragged its exhausted body to stand up.

The fierce wind blew, and the Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard tottered, seemingly about to be swept away in the next second.

Thankfully, it was not as fragile as Cola had imagined, its dark purple fur sparking with crackling electricity, its eyes bursting with brightness, finally stabilizing itself against the wind.

"Roar..."

Subsequently, the Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard lowered its head towards Cola, its slender tail dangling over the snow.

Cola knew well this meant the Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard was showing submission, but it was in a hurry, with no extra time to deal with the creature, so it anxiously asked about Sprite’s whereabouts: "Awoo awoo?"

"Roar..."

The Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard lifted its head in confusion, and after understanding that Sprite was the small Winter Dog from before, it recalled for a moment, then looked towards the left front.

If remembered correctly, when it was trapped under the stone earlier, it caught sight of a creature much like the Winter Dog being swept in that direction by the wind.

"Awo!"

Upon hearing the potential whereabouts of Sprite, Cola’s eyes lit up with joy, paying no more attention to the Snow Patterned Clouded Leopard eager to curry favor with it, and rushed decisively towards the left front.

Sprite!

I’m about to find you!

Racing forward for a distance, the wind grew even fiercer, and Cola’s nose suddenly twitched lightly, it caught an enticing scent.

Looking up, several Spirit Plants were being swept into the air by the wind, emitting an alluring fragrance.

"Roar..."

Cola swallowed its saliva secretly, instinctively wanting to leap up high and swallow those tempting Spirit Plants.

But thinking again, Sprite was still waiting for it to rescue; abandoning Sprite to pursue the Spirit Plant would be too dog-like!

Wait, it seemed like it was indeed a dog.

Cola shook its head, dismissing the wild thoughts, took a reluctant glance at the Spirit Plants in mid-air, and then buried its head, pressing forward.

The wind blew fiercely, sweeping over its entire body, yet Cola’s speed grew faster and faster, almost becoming invisible to the naked eye.

Unknowingly, Cola’s body seemed to merge with the wind, swept away from the snow, away from the solid ground.

It ran in the void, its light brown fur fluttering with the wind, its sharp eyes fixed straight ahead, ready to drift away with the wind at any moment.
