When the raging flames dissipated, the cave returned to complete darkness, with only heavy breathing rising and falling.
In the dim light, the three of them stared intently ahead, waiting for the hero to descend from the heavens.
Even A-Tian, who felt pessimistic about the current situation, tried desperately to grasp at the hope of survival.
Da, da, da.
Footsteps sounded outside, followed by a loud dog bark: "Woof woof!"
Dog bark?
Wu Peng widened his eyes and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Save us! We're in here!"
A beam of bright light shone into the cave first, followed by a burst of flame that illuminated the surrounding environment, allowing the three of them to clearly see the situation in front of them.
Zeng Hui also showed joy. After watching Chen Yuan's performance match video, he was full of trust in this Beastmaster who was regarded as a target and role model by all Beastmasters in Baokun City.
If it was him, maybe he could save them.
Only A-Tian looked confused: "Consultant Chen?"
The moment the words fell, a tall and slender young man walked in slowly. He was surrounded by several figures: a Flame Tail Fox, a Frost Ice Fox, a Falling Meteor Horned Beast, two Earth Barbarian Bears (one large and one small), and a Flame Cloud Falcon with flames surging around its body.
A-Tian was dumbfounded: "Is this the number of pets a normal Beastmaster should have?"
This is the number of pets a Beastmaster team should have!
"Huahua, save them first." Chen Yuan glanced at the three of them roughly and said.
"Chirp ~"
Huahua carefully controlled the intensity of the flames, spraying out a thin stream of flame to melt the spider silk binding the three of them.
Thump thump thump!
The three of them fell heavily to the ground, but they didn't care about the faint pain. Wu Peng and Zeng Hui rushed directly to Chen Yuan, but were stopped by Cola's bared teeth: "Woof woof!"
Don't get close to Master!
In the wild, Cola is extremely vigilant and will prevent any strange creatures from approaching Chen Yuan.
"Consultant Chen, it's really you, that's great, we're saved." Wu Peng said excitedly.
"Finally... saved." A-Tian slumped on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. A grown man in his twenties was now crying with joy, his voice choked with sobs.
Being locked up in this deep, closed environment for two full days was more torturous than being locked in a small dark room. Ordinary people might have gone crazy.
Fortunately, on the verge of collapse, A-Tian saw the hope of survival.
"There's no need to say thank you for now, let me take you out first." Chen Yuan looked at the three unlucky guys in front of him and said slowly.
Suppressing his excitement, Wu Peng quickly reminded, "Consultant Chen, these Blackstriped Spiders are very powerful, you must be careful."
Hearing this, A-Tian also raised his head, wiped the tears from his face, and followed up, "Yes, there are a dozen or so Blackstriped Spiders at the entrance of the cave, they are responsible for setting traps to capture prey."
"There are also a dozen or so Blackstriped Spiders lurking deep in the cave, and they will come out in full force once an outsider invades."
"Yes." Although Wu Peng was very confident in Chen Yuan's strength, he still reminded, "It's best to have two Tier 2 Fire-type pets to defeat this group of Blackstriped Spiders."
"Woof woof woof!"
Hearing this, Cola immediately became unhappy and glared at Wu Peng fiercely.
This sentence clearly didn't take itself seriously.
Wu Peng smiled sheepishly and explained, "Their spider silk is very strong, and attacks of other attributes are difficult to affect."
"Woof ~"
Cola glanced askance at Wu Peng, and then a materialized wind blade gathered around its body, whistling towards a spider silk in the corner.
Crack!
The sharp aura flowed, and the extremely hard spider silk broke instantly.
Wu Peng closed his mouth.
"Oh right, Consultant Chen, please save our pets, they have also been captured." Zeng Hui suddenly said.
"Do you know the location?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I know!" A-Tian suddenly got up and took the lead.
He carefully walked past a group of pets, and then took a deep breath and stepped forward.
However, after only a few steps, the Blackstriped Spiders lying haphazardly in the rock wall passage startled him, and he couldn't help but look back at the Beastmaster called Consultant Chen, swallowing secretly: "Buddy... no, Consultant Chen, did you do all of this?"
Wu Peng was about to speak out about Chen Yuan's glorious deeds, from the performance match to what happened last night, but he saw that Zeng Hui had already taken the lead, with a beaming face: "You don't know Consultant Chen?"
"Never heard of him..." A-Tian carefully looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "Are you a big shot?"
"Hmph." Zeng Hui couldn't help but snort softly, with pride and pride on his face for knowing Chen Yuan first, "Consultant Chen is a consultant of the Baokun City Beastmaster Association, and also the Taibai Cup..."
Wu Peng was greatly shocked and stared blankly at Zeng Hui.
Hey buddy, these are all my lines!
You've said it all, so how can I perform well in front of Consultant Chen?
I thought you weren't from Baokun City!
Chen Yuan coughed softly, forcibly interrupting Zeng Hui's rather awkward introduction, and changed the subject: "Do you know more information about this group of Blackstriped Spiders?"
"I know!" x3
Three voices sounded in the cave at the same time, and they looked at each other at the same time, with eagerness on their faces.
An invisible contest was beginning to show its signs at this moment.
"I was caught first, I know the most, let me speak." A-Tian raised his head slightly. He, who had previously felt extremely pessimistic about the current situation, now felt fortunate for being caught first.
After he told about the strange behavior of this group of Blackstriped Spiders, Chen Yuan frowned slightly: "Training their skills so hard, there must be something driving them."
Wu Peng: "Consultant Chen is right."
Zeng Hui: "Consultant Chen is insightful."
A-Tian: "I think so too."
Hearing the three people's answers, even Cola widened its eyes and stared blankly at them.
Who exactly is the bootlicker?
Walking through the deep rock wall passage, the pets around him gave Wu Peng a full sense of security. He even took the initiative to ask, "Consultant Chen, will you participate in the Qin Province Beastmaster Competition next month?"
Chen Yuan shook his head: "I don't plan to participate."
Wu Peng looked disappointed, and then seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up: "I know, you still want to participate in the performance match, I will congratulate you in advance for winning the performance match championship."
Zeng Hui continued, "Consultant Chen, I watched your battle video last night, your Flame Cloud Falcon is really too powerful."
The Flame Cloud Falcon imperceptibly glanced at Zeng Hui and nodded slightly.
"Woof!"
Cola became anxious and quickly looked at Zeng Hui.
What about me?
"The Galehound's performance is also very good." Zeng Hui continued.
The two praised him for a while, only A-Tian was anxious and scratching his heart. He didn't even want to rush to save his pet, but wanted to go down the mountain to turn on his phone and search for more information about the Consultant Chen in front of him.
Is he really as powerful as they boasted?
However, when he saw the Blackstriped Spiders lying on the ground, he fell into deep thought.
He had fought with this group of Blackstriped Spiders before, and only persisted for twenty seconds under the siege of a dozen Blackstriped Spiders.
And from the start of the fighting sound to now, only a few minutes have passed. This Consultant Chen has already defeated so many Blackstriped Spiders.
It seems that he is really a little more powerful than him.
"Woof!"
At this moment, Cola pricked up its ears, raised its head, and stared straight ahead.
Compared to the previous narrow passage, this place was obviously much wider, it was a semi-circular cave.
In every corner of the cave, Blackstriped Spiders were lying, their dark green eyes first staring at them, and then striding towards them on their eight legs.
A-Tian's face turned pale "Shua" at once. He tremblingly raised his finger, his voice dry: "This, this is their base camp, these Blackstriped Spiders are much more powerful than the ones outside."
Chen Yuan nodded knowingly: "You guys hide behind."
Hearing this, the three quickly retreated.
"Huahua, make a quick decision."
The terrain here is open and will not limit Huahua's performance. Chen Yuan decided to let Huahua take action directly.
In the previous battles, the little guys had each shown their abilities, and the group of Blackstriped Spiders had no power to fight back at all.
"Chirp!"
Huahua's eyes were indifferent, and it suddenly spread its wings and flew up, with more surging flames emerging from its orange-yellow wings. Its momentum soared, and it faced the group of Blackstriped Spiders head-on!
"Will it be a little overconfident?" A-Tian muttered softly when he saw that only the Flame Cloud Falcon was attacking.
He had personally seen the strength of this group of Blackstriped Spiders, and a single Tier 2 Fire-type pet would definitely not be able to resist.
Wu Peng looked serious and shook his head: "This Flame Cloud Falcon is different from other Flame Cloud Falcons."
"What's different?" A-Tian asked in confusion.
"Its attack method is very violent."
"Very, very violent."
In an instant, the distance between Huahua and the group of Blackstriped Spiders was quickly shortened. It locked onto the nearest Blackstriped Spider, retracted its wings, and attacked fiercely!
Boom!
The flames were raging, the flames were滔滔, and the orange-yellow figure crashed into the Blackstriped Spider, and the heat wave swept over it.
The endless heat wave instantly swallowed the Blackstriped Spider, and the滔滔firelight illuminated the entire cave. The three people hiding at the very back widened their eyes.
When the heat wave dissipated, the Blackstriped Spider had already fallen to the ground.
One hit kill.
At the same time, the rest of the Blackstriped Spiders stood up, opened their mouths, and white spider silks shot out one after another, trying to trap Huahua in it.
"Chirp!"
Huahua's eyes were hot, and it suddenly spread its wings, and flames rose all over its body, like flames beating, instantly melting the spider silks!
A-Tian was dumbfounded: "Is it that simple?"
Although Zeng Hui had watched Chen Yuan's performance match video, at this moment, witnessing Huahua's bravery with his own eyes, he was still a little shocked, and muttered in a daze: "So powerful."
Seeing the reactions of the two, Wu Peng snorted coldly, and finally regained the sense of superiority of a local in Baokun City.
But these Black-striped Spiders didn't surrender because of a temporary setback. They shot out spider silk towards the ground around Spark, the silk sticking tightly to the ground. Then, they pulled with force, actually using this to shift their position, instantly crossing several meters and approaching Spark.
Some Black-striped Spiders also chose to climb onto the rock walls above, their eight legs moving nimbly, reaching above Spark's head at top speed. The next moment, they jumped down fiercely, their chelicerae gleaming with venom.
In an instant, Spark was surrounded.
The teamwork of this group of Black-striped Spiders exceeded Chen Yuan's expectations, but he didn't panic. Instead, he calmly commanded, "Flame Prison."
"Chirp!"
Spark screeched loudly, violently flapping its wings. A ring of flames quickly gathered around it, the fiery currents surging, blocking all the Black-striped Spiders trying to attack.
Before, Chen Yuan always used [Flame Prison] as a skill to control opponents, but recently, he had a sudden idea to try using [Flame Prison] as a defensive skill.
Just like now, when Spark was surrounded by multiple opponents, it could use [Flame Prison] to cover itself, making it difficult for opponents to approach.
"Cola, go help." Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, deciding to let Cola join the fierce battle.
"Woof!"
Cola, who had been eager to move, strode out and suddenly rushed towards the Black-striped Spider closest to it, carrying a gust of wind and smashing it several meters away.
"Roar!"
Bear Dad, itching to join the battle, stepped forward, but Chen Yuan stopped it:
"You should watch the battle carefully first. I'm worried there might be hidden dangers."
Bear Dad's affection for him was less than 80, so it couldn't provide Source Points. Chen Yuan naturally didn't want it to join this battle without suspense.
But to be honest, the strength of these Black-striped Spiders wasn't bad. The leading Black-striped Spider even had Second-Order strength, but facing the strong alliance of Spark and Cola, even adding another Second-Order Black-striped Spider would be useless.
"Woof woof!"
Cola raised its head and roared, stirring up a fierce gale that blew the Black-striped Spiders off balance.
Spark took the opportunity to use [Flame Energy Assault], and every time it hit, a Black-striped Spider would fall to the ground.
Even if the two little guys didn't use combination skills, with their tacit cooperation, they still easily crushed the Black-striped Spiders' offensive and fiercely defeated them.
In just a moment, only the Second-Order Black-striped Spider was still standing on the ground.
"So... so simple." Such a simple battle made Ah Tian feel dizzy.
In his opinion, the Black-striped Spiders that he couldn't defeat even with all his strength were helpless in front of this Consultant Chen. Was this the strength of an association consultant?
His association also had a consultant, and he had questioned why that person became a consultant at the time.
Now he understood that every consultant was so powerful.
Seeing that only the last Black-striped Spider was left, Chen Yuan waved his hand, letting the two little guys temporarily stop their attacks, and asked, "Why did you capture them and torture them?"
Chen Yuan pointed to the three people hiding behind.
He would decide whether to send them to the breeding base based on the Black-striped Spiders' answer.
If the Black-striped Spiders simply liked to torture humans and other pets, then the breeding base could directly add an area—the Black-striped Spider Area.
"Hiss..."
The Black-striped Spider's dark green eyes stared at Chen Yuan for a while, then looked at its fallen companions, making an unwilling cry.
"Woof!"
Cola didn't indulge it at all, glaring at it fiercely, with a whirlwind already stirring around it.
"Hiss."
Under the pressure of the situation, it decided to tell the reason for "torturing" humans.
However, listening to Spark's translation, Chen Yuan's expression became more and more complicated.
This matter... actually had something to do with him.
It turned out that these Black-striped Spiders originally lived in a remote valley where no other pets lived, and they lived a peaceful life.
Until one day...
A Honeybee Queen led a group of Servant Bees into the valley, trying to drive them away, and the two groups started a fierce battle.
The final result was of course that the Black-striped Spiders lost. They were forced to leave the valley and moved around, finally arriving at this cave.
"Roar?"
Hearing this, Bear Dad widened his eyes and froze in place.
Honeybee Queen and Servant Bees?
Could it be...
Bear Dad raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Yuan, whose expression was complicated. The latter nodded silently.
Obviously, this group of Servant Bees was the group they drove away.
They were forced to leave their habitat and had to find another suitable place to live, eventually choosing the valley where the Black-striped Spiders were located.
All of this was just such a coincidence.
In other words, the fact that these Black-striped Spiders came to this cave was actually inextricably linked to Chen Yuan and Bear Dad.
"Hiss hiss." The Black-striped Spider was still talking angrily.
Arriving in the cave, they always remembered their homeland, hoping that one day they could take it back.
So, they started a revenge plan.
Capturing the humans and pets who strayed into the cave, using them to practice skills day and night, just to take back their homeland one day.
Ah Tian trembled as he listened: "Do pets also have such complex emotions?"
Wu Peng said solemnly: "Actually, it's the opposite. Pets' emotions are very simple."
"When these Black-striped Spiders' home is taken away, they will always remember the angry emotions when it was taken away, and then work hard to train because of this."
"During this period, they will not have other emotions."
Zeng Hui's expression became complicated: "Listening to this, I don't think it's something to be angry about that they captured us."
Wu Peng nodded in agreement: "I think so too. Anyway, we didn't lose anything. On the other hand, they lost their home."
Ah Tian was furious: "Damn, you were only caught for a few minutes, of course you don't feel anything."
"I was locked up for two days!!!"
"Do you know what it feels like to spend two days in a pitch-black environment?"
Ignoring the three people's discussion, Chen Yuan looked at the Black-striped Spider not far away and fell into deep thought.
He increasingly felt that dealing with disputes between pet groups was very tricky.
Especially since this dispute was related to him.
At this moment, Chen Yuan had long lost the idea of sending these Black-striped Spiders to the breeding base. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
So he coughed softly: "Where are those pets you caught?"
After a while,
Spark successfully rescued the captured pets, not only Wu Peng's three pets, but also some unlucky wild pets who strayed into the cave.
However, these pets were in good condition, each of them was energetic, and there was no panic or torment of being trapped in the cave for a long time.
After asking, he learned that the Black-striped Spiders did not treat these pets harshly, but instead provided them with sufficient food every day.
Except for being confined and unable to leave the cave, these pets' lives were even more comfortable than outside.
At this moment, Chen Yuan felt even more guilty.
Damn, he became the villain.
With this in mind, Chen Yuan had to say: "If you want to practice skills, you don't necessarily have to catch other pets. Mutual training is the same."
"Woof woof." Cola nodded in agreement.
It often trains skills with the Big Sister, sparring with each other, although it gets beaten black and blue every time.
"Hiss..."
The Black-striped Spider's eyes flashed with thoughtful light, as if it was seriously considering Chen Yuan's suggestion.
"Giggle~"
At this time, the Twin Flower Concubine suddenly waved her palm, signaling Chen Yuan to put herself down.
Chen Yuan didn't know why, but he still let the Twin Flower Concubine hold his finger and put her on the ground.
"Giggle~"
The Twin Flower Concubine dragged her pink dress, walking gracefully to the Black-striped Spider.
Cola immediately tensed up, staring at the Black-striped Spider, afraid that it would swallow the Twin Flower Concubine in one bite.
The Twin Flower Concubine's light pink eyes quietly stared at the Black-striped Spider, whose body was covered with injuries, then tore off a petal and handed it to the latter.
The Black-striped Spider stared at the Twin Flower Concubine for a while, took the petal, and swallowed it in one bite.
The vibrant wood-type energy instantly surged in its body, healing the injuries on its body at an alarming rate, dispelling the pain all over its body.
"Giggle~"
The Twin Flower Concubine took another half step forward, extending her petal-shaped palm, and the Black-striped Spider slowly lowered its head, letting the Twin Flower Concubine stroke its head.
Gradually, the Black-striped Spider's eyes obviously became much gentler, and even took the initiative to rub its head against the Twin Flower Concubine's palm.
Chen Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In a trance, he seemed to hear a childish voice resounding in his mind: "Black-striped Spider is good, the bad guys have been driven away, don't be afraid anymore."
Is this really a pet succubus?
Touch its head, and the other party's heart is purified?
But the next scene made Chen Yuan frown.
He saw the Twin Flower Concubine whispering something to the Black-striped Spider, and a trace of thought flashed in the latter's eyes, then it nodded.
Then, the Black-striped Spider waved its chelicerae in front of it, flashing a cold light.
"Woof!"
Seeing this, Cola thought that the Black-striped Spider was going to attack the Twin Flower Concubine, and hurriedly wanted to stop it.
"Cola, it's okay." Chen Yuan said.
This didn't look like an attack.
He saw the Black-striped Spider waving its venom-stained chelicerae at the air in front of it, and then spewing out a stream of venom from its mouth, splashing on the ground, corroding the ground.
"Giggle"
The Twin Flower Concubine stared at the Black-striped Spider's series of actions, with a look of contemplation on her face.
So that's how poison is used!
As long as I master the poison-type skills, I can better protect "Mama"!
"Is this pet learning skills from the Black-striped Spider?" Ah Tian had never seen the Twin Flower Concubine, but seeing the scene in front of him, a guess suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Looks like it." Wu Peng nodded, "Is this a poison-type pet?"
Zeng Hui asked suspiciously: "Why do I feel like it's a wood-type pet."
At the same time, Chen Yuan watched the Twin Flower Concubine, who was seriously learning skills, and always felt that the Twin Flower Concubine's style was gradually changing.
The Twin Flower Concubine he imagined should be a gentle, lovely, and friendly little princess, mastering many healing skills and saving the injured pets.
But why...
The Twin Flower Concubine unknowingly mastered the poison-type skill [Sweet Aroma] and began to learn other poison-type skills.
You are a wood-type pet!
This style is very wrong!
