Chapter 103: Liang He’s God-like Move Strikes Again

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Liang He’s God-like Move Strikes Again

"Has Liang He given up?"

For some reason, Liang He suddenly turned around and started walking back. Then, amid the rising and falling calls of the Elephant Group, she calmly picked up a piece of iron wire from beside the fence and twisted it into a ring.

"ROAR!"

The bewildered crowd assumed she had decided to cut her losses and retreat, preparing to ride the Platinum Giant Lion back. To their absolute shock, the Platinum Giant Lion suddenly let out an angry roar and began chasing her.

"Oh no, this is bad! Is the Platinum Giant Lion out of control too?!"

"It’s completely over now. With the elephants in front and a lion behind her, how can she possibly survive?"

"I told you she was courting death! President, hurry up and get the snipers ready!"

The Platinum Giant Lion’s pursuit caused everyone to cry out in alarm. Only President Lucas, who was paying close attention to Liang He, had a sudden flash of insight. He leaned closer to the monitor, and after confirming his theory, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Liang He is intentionally letting Cyril chase her."

Intentional? The confused onlookers immediately refocused their attention on Liang He’s monitor, even having the screen zoomed in for a closer look.

Only then did they realize that Liang He had a smile on her face the entire time. The Platinum Giant Lion, who was supposedly attacking and hunting her, was clearly not using his full strength. Instead, he was just playing with her.

"What on earth is Liang He doing? At a time like this, she’s still in the mood to tease the Platinum Giant Lion?" Vice President Tainan began trying to undermine her again, attempting to stoke and deepen the crowd’s dissatisfaction with Liang He.

Completely oblivious to this, Liang He was using the Platinum Giant Lion’s love for jumping through hoops to put on a show in front of the Elephant Group.

"ROAR!"

"Ahhh! Help me!"

Mimicking the way Xu Yi had looked when he was chased by wild beasts, Liang He sprinted frantically toward the Elephant Group. Surprisingly, the herd, which had initially been wary of her, did nothing to stop her even when she dashed right up to them.

In fact, just as the Platinum Giant Lion was about to catch up to Liang He, the elephants shifted around, using their trunks to form a protective wall around her, blocking the Platinum Giant Lion from coming any closer.

"ROAR!"

The blocked Platinum Giant Lion roared angrily, but this only strengthened the Elephant Group’s determination to protect Liang He.

Seeing this scene, both the spectators watching the commotion and the experts and professors in the surveillance room were utterly dumbfounded. What kind of tactic was this?

"President, what is Liang He doing?"

"Haha!" President Lucas burst into sudden laughter, pointing at Liang He on the monitor and praising her endlessly. "Liang He really didn’t disappoint me! She actually took advantage of an elephant’s instinct to protect the weak, initiating a situation where the Elephant Group would let her approach and even trust her!"

Elephants themselves were inherently very trusting of humans, especially the ones living on Greenfield Star. When faced with danger, they would even actively seek out humans for help. It was just that the Elephant Group had arrived too suddenly and seemed extremely irritable this time, which threw everyone into a panic. The herd had likely come to ask humans for help from the very beginning, without any intention of hurting anyone. Ironically, it was humanity that failed to match the elephants’ trust, instantly viewing the Elephant Group as an adversary and creating the current stalemate.

"So that’s how it is! Liang He is truly remarkable. Why didn’t I think of that? My years of studying zoology have really been for nothing!"

"Ah, in a critical situation, it’s common for the mind to draw a blank. But Liang He is definitely impressive. To figure out the key to the problem so quickly and even use it to her advantage—the younger generation truly surpasses the old!"

"I finally understand why President Lucas thinks so highly of Liang He. So she was teasing the Platinum Giant Lion just now to create the illusion of being hunted and win their sympathy?"

After hearing President Lucas’s explanation, the experts and professors came to a sudden realization, showering Liang He’s bravery and resourcefulness with endless praise. Watching everyone’s favorable impression of Liang He skyrocket, Vice President Tainan’s face turned as dark as thunder.

"Even so, she is far too reckless. She’s still too young."

"Tainan, I can’t agree with that." Having been the president for so many years, how could Lucas not see through Tainan’s petty thoughts? It was simply because Lucas valued Liang He, making Tainan fear that his own hopes for promotion as vice president were doomed. That was why he tried every possible means to suppress her. "If you ask me, young people have quick minds. They dare to think and dare to act, which is far better than some cowardly folks."

President Lucas’s pointed words completely ignored Vice President Tainan’s increasingly awkward expression, publicly exposing his ulterior motives. Even when Tainan slammed the door and left in anger, Lucas remained unmoved, focusing all his attention entirely on Liang He.

Unaware that she had caused a dispute, Liang He lay on the ground under the protection of the Elephant Group, pretending to be weak.

"MOO—"

Seeing this, the matriarch elephant hurriedly brought the tip of her trunk close to Liang He and nudged her gently.

The trunk, which could normally bear three hundred pounds, was now as gentle as a feather. This made Liang He, who was playing dead to fake an injury, feel a bit guilty. She was indeed exploiting the Elephant Group’s kindness toward humans and other animals to get close to the matriarch, mostly because she couldn’t think of a better solution on such short notice.

"MOO—"

Discovering that Liang He was still alive, the matriarch elephant gently wrapped her trunk around her and steadily hoisted her up, placing her right on top of her head. Only after confirming that there was no way the Platinum Giant Lion could reach Liang He did she order the Elephant Group to disperse.

Losing the ring as his target, the Platinum Giant Lion tilted his head in confusion. Under Hoder’s soothing, he trotted back to his original spot. After all, Liang He had specifically told him before she left to temporarily listen to the two-legged creature on his back. He was a super good, pampered baby!

"Wow! Big Sister actually climbed onto the elephant’s head!" Beibei, the little girl who had been watching Liang He with the elegant lady, pointed in Liang He’s direction and cheered loudly. She looked at her with pure adoration, as if Liang He were an incredibly mighty warrior.

The lady holding her also greatly admired Liang He’s courage and resourcefulness. "As expected of Miss Liang He, the one who tamed an Evolutionary Beastman. She’s simply amazing!"

Still unaware that she was receiving praise from all sides, Liang He began trying to bond with the matriarch elephant after successfully reaching the top of her head.

"Did you save me? Thank you so much!" Liang He gently stroked the matriarch elephant’s head. Although her hands were relatively slender, compared to the elephant, it was no different from a gentle back scratcher.

The matriarch lightly flapped her ears. Even though she couldn’t understand Liang He’s words, she could feel the goodwill radiating from her. Prompted by Liang He’s deliberate emotional cues, she even felt an unprecedented sense of security.

"MOO—"

The matriarch elephant raised her trunk high to interact with Liang He. Tenderly stroking the matriarch, Liang He attempted to communicate with her.

"Could you lead the elephants away from this area first?" she asked. The Elephant Group gathering here was a threat and a danger to everyone else. "I know you want our help to find the Little Elephant. Trust me, I will help you, okay?"

Perhaps triggered by the key words, the matriarch elephant swung her trunk and cast a glance at the humans who were still watching nervously from within the walls. In the eyes of an elephant, humans were very cute creatures, much like how most humans viewed puppies and kittens—they held a special kind of patience and affection for them.

"MOO—"

The elephant’s trumpet instantly drew everyone’s attention. They all stared nervously and anxiously in Liang He’s direction, even though they couldn’t see her clearly at all.

"Look! The Elephant Group is actually—"
