Chapter 615 - 281: Cola’s Advancement! The Kidnapped Mushroom King!

The Fluffy Mushroom lay on Duoji’s head, watching the coniferous forest in the distance with him.

"Mr. Liu, I want to contract with an Ice Plain Colt in the future too." Duoji gently stroked the neck of the Ice Plain Colt, his eyes filled with envy.

The Ice Plain Colt was tall and majestic, a favorite among the children in the village.

If anyone got the chance to ride the Ice Plain Colt across the mountains and fields, it would make other children envious for a long, long time.

Duoji got the chance he wished for.

Director Liu laughed heartily, "Duoji, the Ice Plain Colt isn’t that special. If you want to become a champion, you should contract with a more powerful Pet Beast."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Ice Plain Colt wasn’t pleased. It raised its front hooves, abruptly halting its galloping stance, almost making the two fall off.

"Hey, my old friend, I’m not saying you’re not impressive." Director Liu smiled helplessly, gently patting the Ice Plain Colt’s neck, his touch tender, "But Duoji is different from us. He will leave the mountains someday."

"He will travel to many places, see all kinds of Pet Beasts, meet all sorts of people."

"Pet Beasts in the mountains, of course, are formidable, but leaving the mountains means encountering many battles."

"I don’t want you to get hurt."

"So, let the Pet Beasts of the mountains stay in the mountains."

Hearing Director Liu’s explanation, the Ice Plain Colt snorted a puff of hot air, then moved its forehooves forward, continuing its gallop.

The sound of hoofbeats was crisp and far-reaching.

Duoji looked into the distance, where vibrant green symbolizing vitality came into view. He suddenly spoke, "Mr. Liu, do you think I can become a Beastmaster as powerful as Chen Yuan in the future?"

Director Liu almost nodded immediately, but he suddenly remembered some reports about this Chen Yuan and paused slightly, speaking hesitantly, "Of course, it’s possible, but you’ll need to put in unimaginable effort and hardship."

"Advisor Chen’s success must come from his tireless hard work day and night."

"When you don’t know, Advisor Chen’s sweat drips down his face, and confusion clouds his direction."

"But as long as you keep working hard, success will come."

"So, you must learn from Advisor Chen and strive to move forward."

However, Duoji suddenly recalled the conversations he overheard between Chen Yuan and others while picking mushrooms. He tilted his head, puzzled, "But I heard Chen Yuan say he always lets his Pet Beasts train on their own."

Director Liu waved his hand, "How could that be? A Pet Beast’s initiative couldn’t possibly reach that level; that must be Advisor Chen joking."

"To become an excellent Beastmaster, effort is the only path."

The two chatted along the way, and the Ice Plain Colt gradually approached the habitat of the Fungal Pet Beasts.

This time back, Duoji planned to discuss the long-term supply of mushrooms with Fluffy Mushroom’s friends, but since he didn’t understand these things, he brought Director Liu to help.

Upon entering this area, Director Liu frowned deeply, muttering, "Something’s not right."

"What’s wrong, Mr. Liu?" Duoji raised his puzzled face.

Director Liu, while making the Ice Plain Colt stay alert, lowered his voice, "Has it always been this quiet here?"

"Why aren’t there any sounds of Pet Beasts?"

The Dark Forest was vast, yet this place was deep and silent, everywhere exuding abnormality.

"Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom!"

Just then, the Fluffy Mushroom seemed to have caught a strange scent and jumped off Duoji’s head onto the ground, its cap shaking as it charged forward like mad.

"Follow it."

Director Liu spoke gravely, lost in thought.

There indeed was something unusual.

Before long, a chaotic scene unexpectedly came into view, with signs of battle scattered across an open area ahead, and a number of non-toxic Fungal Pet Beasts lying askew on the ground.

It was like a great melee had occurred here.

But hadn’t the melee just happened yesterday?

Could there be another special situation?

Director Liu kept the Ice Plain Colt on alert, dismounted, and walked to a Fluffy Mushroom that hadn’t fainted, squatting down, "What happened here?"

Duoji’s Fluffy Mushroom hopped over to its kind, its mushroom cap shaking, its expression anxious.

What happened? What happened?

Wasn’t the Mushroom King already asleep?

"Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom..."

Under the concerned gaze, the fallen Fluffy Mushroom slowly recounted what had happened before.

Their Mushroom King was abducted.
