Chapter 614 - 281: Cola’s Advancement! The Mushroom King Is Captured! (Part 2)

At the same moment,

seeing Cola’s unusual reaction, Chen Yuan slightly furrowed his brow and murmured: "Is there really danger?"

The gusts of wind seemed to have turned into sharp blades, carrying a fierce aura, launching an attack on the advancing Cola.

Indeed, there is no smooth progression.

"Chirp."

Spark slightly lifted its gaze, finding balance within its heart.

"Awo!"

A storm whirled around Cola’s body, enduring the severe pain like being cut by knives, its fur wild and flying, eyes suddenly bursting with radiance.

This bit of pain cannot defeat me!

The master said that pain is inevitable on the path to becoming a king.

These pains cannot stop me from becoming stronger, they only breed an even stronger me!

"Awo awo awo!"

Bright-eyed Cola gave itself some psychological hints, but a gust of wind swept in, letting the pain reminiscent of cuts spread throughout the body again.

The psychological hint shattered instantly, Cola tightened its body, emitting another piteous wail: "Awo awo awo!"

Pain, pain, pain!

Master, save me!

Big sister, save me!

Chen Yuan turned his head away, fully aware that this was an unavoidable part of the progression.

To become stronger, how can one not endure pains that ordinary Pet Beasts can’t bear?

Despite feeling very sorry for Cola at this moment, to let Cola fulfill its dream of becoming stronger, Chen forced himself to avert his eyes.

"Chirp~"

Spark’s eyes were calm, nodding slowly.

There was no gloating in its eyes, only the depth and calmness brought by witnessing the vicissitudes of life.

Only the raging sea can nurture the fiercest sharks.

Or shark dogs.

In the following half hour, the fierce wind continued to howl, Cola’s pitiful wails resounded throughout the area shrouded by wind.

The four of Qin Lang just found shelter from the wind when they heard Cola’s cries continuously arise, shivering in fear.

What kind of monster resides on this snow mountain that could make the Gale Hunting Dog, which they viewed as invincible, utter such pitiful wails???

The fierce wind whistled past, the night thick with fear.

This was destined to be a long night.

After confirming this wind would not cause substantial damage to Cola, Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said: "Spark, let’s go out first."

Spark, after all, was not a Wind-type Pet Beast, unable to protect him continually in the wind.

Chen decided to leave the wind-shrouded area first, planning to check on Cola later.

Leaving the wind, Jiang Wenning and the other three immediately approached: "How is it?"

"Cola’s cries seem quite pitiful."

Chen gave a slight smile: "It’s a necessary step to advance to Morning Star."

Li Junyue frowned slightly: "So, our Pet Beasts will advance like this in the future?"

Chen nodded.

"Meow~"

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat’s heterochromatic eyes flickered, it gently touched Jiang Wenning’s cheek with its fluffy tail, the expression on its face was evident.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, at most it will hurt a bit." Jiang Wenning gently soothed the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat, with a smile on her cheeks, "But only through advancement can we become stronger."

"Meow~"

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat gently licked its paw, its heterochromatic eyes glowing in the night, tail arrogantly swaying, not entirely convinced by Jiang Wenning’s words.

"You all go climbing first." Facing the three in front of him, Chen slowly revealed his plan, "I will stay here and wait for Cola to advance."

Cola’s advance would take at least half a day, no need for all three to wait here.

Jiang Wenning showed excitement, shaking her head: "I want to stay to witness Cola’s advancement."

Li Junyue and Chang Yuhuan shared the same thought.

Chen tried to persuade: "This place is not far from Snow Mountain Peak, once you start climbing, at most two to three hours to reach the summit."

"By then, just at sunrise, when you come back, Cola surely hasn’t advanced yet."

"So, I’ll stay here is enough."

Chen’s words successfully persuaded the three, they changed their minds, deciding to summit first, returning later to witness Cola’s advancement.

Time passed quietly, around three o’clock in the morning, Jiang Wenning and the others set off toward the Snow Mountain Peak.

Luckily, here was not swept by the wind, allowing them to advance smoothly.

Chen stayed outside the tent, occasionally letting Spark enter the wind to check on Cola’s condition.

After hours of wind howling, Cola had already swallowed two Hurricane Cores, the storm around it even made Spark slightly amazed, and its height under the wind’s sweep increased, nearing its flying dream.

Yet, it seemed a few hours away from successfully advancing.

Chen expected this, unhurried, patiently waiting.

"Fortunately the wind has yet to fade." Chen sighed.

The wind encountered yesterday afternoon just lasted a while, this wind however howled for hours, yet showing no sign of stopping.

It seems even heaven wants Cola to successfully advance.

"Chirp chirp chirp."

Sprite curled up, sleeping soundly in Chen’s embrace, the little one still in the cub stage, needing ample sleep.

Yet it occasionally wakes to glance toward Cola’s advancement direction, its confused chirping filled with anticipation.

As daylight broke,

an Ice Plain Colt galloped out of Longda Village, its silver-white long hair flying in the wind.

Upon closer look, the Ice Plain Colt’s muscle lines were smooth like ice cuts, neck and back mane resembling semi-transparent ice threads, delicate frost crystals scattering as it ran.

As a unique Ice-type Pet Beast of the plateau, Ice Plain Colts weren’t uncommon in nearby regions, always living in herds, gentle in nature, fond of helping weaker beings.

On the Ice Plain Colt’s back, sat a big and a small figure.

Duoji sat in front of Director Liu, the ice-threaded mane brushing his cheek, his body swaying with the Ice Plain Colt’s running pace.
