Chapter 703 - 308: Hurry to Xuanhe Town and Invite Advisor Chen! (2)

"When dealing with Pet Beasts in a state of rage, don’t expect to reason with them calmly. Fight first, beat them down, and then let them calm down and reason with you voluntarily."

Zhang Hao collected his thoughts, exhaled a long breath, and his gaze became firm: "Prepare for battle."

Even when facing a group of enraged Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, Shao Yang’s facial expression didn’t change a bit. He spoke calmly: "Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, Fire-type Pet Beasts, agile in form, adept at close combat. Keep your distance when fighting them..."

"Skills they can master include Flaming Trample, Flame Breath, Fiery Tail Prison, Blazing Fist Combo, etc."

Everyone nodded seriously, facing the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys in front of them.

Zhang Hao had the Gray-armored Wild Boar stand in front of him, quickly scanned the surroundings, and spoke at a rapid pace: "Don’t be afraid. There aren’t many opponents; we can handle them."

There were six Beastmasters present, including three mid-tier Beastmasters and three initial-tier Beastmasters.

The opponents comprised seven Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, the leading one being the strongest but clearly not yet reaching third-tier strength, the rest were at first and second tiers.

Looking at it this way, both sides had similar paper strength, but Pet Beasts carefully bred by Beastmasters were stronger than wild Pet Beasts. Along with the Beastmasters’ command, overcoming this group of Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys shouldn’t be a problem.

"Old Shao, I’ll leave it to you this time." Zhang Hao stepped aside to let Shao Yang take charge of the skirmish.

Shao Yang, the third Beastmaster of Xuanhe Town, differed from the busy and training-lazy Zhang Hao; he trained his Pet Beasts day and night, with his initial Pet Beast, the Fire Dog, just a step away from third-tier strength.

Not counting Advisor Chen, who’s an outlier, he’s the number one Beastmaster in Xuanhe Town.

Whenever ordinary extraordinary events occurred, he was the one to handle them.

"Hmm." Shao Yang nodded slightly, stepping forward, his gaze indifferent.

But suddenly, it was as if he heard a strange noise. He stopped, looked further ahead, and his previously calm face suddenly changed.

A group of Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys was charging forward, roughly numbering twenty, appearing as surging flames completely surrounding the hot spring.

Shao Yang silently took a half-step back, standing next to Zhang Hao.

Everyone silently retreated, huddling close to Zhang Hao as their Pet Beasts faced the numerous and raging Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, letting out feeble cries.

"Huff huff!"

Even faced with the fierce Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, the Gray-armored Wild Boar, beloved by the Beastmasters, showed no fear. Hot air puffed from its mouth, its sturdy legs scraped the ground, and its dark gray body reflected a hard sheen.

"Woof woof woof!"

The rigorously trained Fire Dog also showed no fear of strong enemies, its orange-yellow fur flowing in the wind, its sharp eyes fixed straight ahead.

At the same time, a well-built Flowing Fire Spirit Monkey stepped out, with gold-red fur shimmering with a rippling glow under the light, its body surface continuously emitting a semi-transparent flame breath like floating silk ribbons.

A mere glance sent a powerful aura as hot as molten lava surging forth, causing the group’s faces to shift repeatedly, with a trace of despair creeping into their eyes.

Shao Yang’s face was unusually solemn: "A third-tier Flowing Fire Spirit Monkey..."

"Old Shao, can you take on a higher tier?" Zhang Hao asked in a low voice.

Shao Yang’s face paused, and he responded in a low tone: "Hao, do you think I’m a novel’s protagonist?"

Even with a formidable enemy at hand, Zhang Hao remained unflustered, teasing, "You’re the number one Beastmaster in Xuanhe Town. Don’t you even have that bit of confidence?"

Shao Yang gave a bitter smile: "Hao, stop joking. Clearly, the number one Beastmaster in our town is..."

As he said this, a thought struck Shao Yang like lightning. He suddenly looked up at Zhang Hao’s amused face, and an idea surfaced in his mind: "Hao, there’s actually another way."

"I get it, I get it." Zhang Hao waved his hand with a smile and then pointed his arm straight toward the east, shouting, "Quickly go to Xuanhe Town to fetch Advisor Chen!"

This place was only a few hundred meters from Xuanhe Town, and Advisor Chen could be here in just a few minutes, which was precisely why Zhang Hao was not afraid to confront a group of Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys.

Just as he finished speaking, a Flowing Cloud Sparrow soared into the sky, and a group of Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys lunged forward in anger.

...

On the farm,

The Frost Giant, having eaten and drunk its fill, sat with crossed legs in the yard, looking full of curiosity at its busy little companions.

The Run Run Duck, with a sullen expression, stood by the fish pond with its tail up, looking down and stretching its wings to count the Spirit Fish left after today’s welcoming ceremony.

"Quack."

One.

"Quack quack."

Two...

The more Run Run Duck counted, the more downcast it became, its mood clearly evident on its face, its wings drooping weakly, even its quacks turning feeble.

Although the Spirit Fish roasted by the farm owner and the fish soup cooked were truly delicious, Run Run Duck still felt sad.

Suddenly, the farm owner’s voice came from behind: "Duck, come fishing with me this afternoon."

"Quack!"

At these words, the Run Run Duck suddenly lifted its head, its eyes bright, wings flapping excitedly, and its tail raised higher.

It already saw a group of Spirit Fish swimming toward it.

"Whew..."

The unexpected sound interrupted the Frost Giant’s observation. Looking down, it saw a small creature in front of it.

The Scarface Rat looked at the bewildered Frost Giant, vaguely recalling its own arrival at the farm, just as confused, cautious, and on tenterhooks.

Now, with its family no longer being the farm’s newest employees, it decided to help this new worker quickly integrate into farm life.

The Scarface Rat looked at the Run Run Duck, introducing the Frost Giant: "Whistle whistle whistle."
