Chapter 667 - 296: Qinling’s Real Surname Isn’t Qin, It’s Chen

As everyone knows, the Qinling Mountains are named Qin.

But at times, they could also be named Chen.

Especially when Chen Yuan’s footprints cover every corner of Qinling, and the Puppy Team dominates the nearby mountains and forests, the Qinling should actually be named Chen.

To enhance the amusement of the fun race, the organizers have specially placed various Pet Beasts at different stages to impact the participants’ speed through various means.

A few are the organizers’ own Pet Beasts, but most are wild Pet Beasts living in the Qinling but friendly to humans.

Chen Yuan also knew about this, so as he distanced himself from the farm and gradually went deeper into the forest, an idea flashed through his mind: "Cola, pay attention to the surroundings."

"There might be Pet Beasts causing trouble."

"Awooo!"

Chen Yuan’s voice resonated in Cola’s mind; its expression suddenly became serious, its eyes sharp like a fierce cold wind, and its cloud-patterned fur enveloped a breeze.

The snow was a foot deep, a cold wind brushed the treetops and lifted fine snowflakes, and the bare trees on both sides swiftly retreated.

Cola pulled the sled steadily across the snowfield while remaining alert to the surroundings, ready to respond to any sudden attacks at any moment.

Out of Cola’s sight, several canine Pet Beasts hid themselves in the snow, intently gazing forward.

The camera lens of the photographer riding on the Aerial Mount shifted, capturing all the canine Pet Beasts into the frame. Upon close inspection, Gale Hunting Dogs, Fire Dogs, Winter Dogs, and other Pet Beasts were all present, forming a grand gathering of canine Pet Beasts.

The commentator’s voice, rich and mellow, slowly began: "This is the second challenge of the fun race."

"Puppy Team Battle."

"When a participant reaches this stage, the canine Pet Beasts, long lurking here, will launch a sudden attack, chasing the participant at full speed."

"The difficulty of this level lies in that the participants have to direct their Pet Beasts to escape the pursuit of the canine Pet Beasts, while also maintaining the sled’s stability."

"In such an intense chase, participants could easily lose balance and fall."

"If an accident occurs, the participant would lose a significant amount of time."

As the camera gradually elevated, simultaneously capturing the figures of Chen Yuan and the canine Pet Beasts on the vast snowy plain, the commentator’s voice continued: "Next, let us all look forward to Advisor Chen’s performance."

He paused, adding: "By the way, according to the rules, participants are not allowed to directly attack the Pet Beasts blocking the way.."

The livestream comments flooded the screen.

"Can’t attack the Pet Beasts blocking the way? Advisor Chen is severely weakened!"

"Oh no, doesn’t that mean Advisor Chen has no advantage now?"

"Just wait, if things get intense, the Wind-controlling Dog might just take off with the sled; that would be fun."

"I can’t wait to see the scene of the Wind-controlling Dog being chased by other canine Pet Beasts, so eager to witness Advisor Chen in an awkward situation."

At the same time,

A Winter Dog saw the appearance of Chen Yuan, rubbing its limbs, its eyes shimmering eagerly, as if its snow-colored fur-covered body would leap out at any moment.

"Awo!"

But it was stopped by the nearby Gale Hunting Dog.

This Gale Hunting Dog was the initial leader of Xuanhe Village’s Puppy Team, ultimately intimidated by Cola’s might and forced to yield its position. Currently, it’s a senior member of the Puppy Team and a trusted soldier of Cola’s.

"Awo..."

Seeing the leader’s figure, the Gale Hunting Dog instantly made a decision.

Do not attack!

Do not pursue!

If they offended the leader, could they continue to stay in Xuanhe Village?

This group of canine Pet Beasts was composed mostly of members of the Puppy Team and a few staff members’ Pet Beasts, being a complex mix.

The Winter Dog belonged to a staff member’s Pet Beast; it didn’t know about any Puppy Team leader.

It only knew that the Beastmaster had given orders to pursue every passing participant.

"Awooo..."

Yet all the Puppy Team members lowered their heads, trying to hide their bodies within the thick snow, thus avoiding the leader’s gaze.

The Winter Dog despised the actions of the Puppy Team members, shook its head, and decided to follow the Beastmaster’s order to attack on its own.

If none of you are doing your job properly, then I will!

"Woof!"

The Winter Dog’s eyes narrowed, barking loudly, startling a flock of birds.

Immediately, it locked onto the fast-moving Cola, tightening its limbs, ready to burst into the storm at any moment for a chase.

"Awooo!"

Seeing this, the Puppy Team members were terrified, unanimously blocking the Winter Dog from launching its attack, their gaze serious.

You can’t do this!

If you anger Leader Cola, we all will face dire consequences!

"Woof woof woof!"

Even when faced with a group of Puppy Team members, the Winter Dog remained defiant, roaring with its head held high, full of imposing momentum.

"Awooo!"

However, the Puppy Team members were numerous, their fur sleek and bodies robust, standing together and suddenly emanating an aura that dominated the mountains and forests.

For a time, the stand-off between the Winter Dog and Puppy Team members created a commotion, immediately drawing the attention of Chen Yuan and Cola.

As one man and one pet followed the sound and saw the scene, they were both stunned.

The cold wind breezed by, stirring the flying thoughts of Chen Yuan.

What’s going on here?

The Puppy Team had an internal conflict?

To maintain a sense of mystery and freshness, Chen Yuan hadn’t deeply learned which specific Pet Beasts were responsible for causing trouble; he only knew there was such a group of Pet Beasts.

"Awo!"

Cola instantly saw that the Winter Dog wasn’t a member of the Puppy Team; it wanted to rush over immediately and teach this little guy a lesson.

But as the cold wind blew, Cola suddenly awakened.

No way!

Now it’s the competition, helping the master win the championship comes first!

Cola fiercely glared at the Winter Dog, imprinting its appearance deeply in its mind, then without looking back, continued to race forward.

When the scene of the canine Pet Beasts’ internal conflict appeared on the screen, the livestream comments were full of question marks, and the commentator’s voice was filled with utter confusion:
