Chapter 705: My Name is Chen Yuan, I Convince Others with Reason

Rumble, rumble!

As the Frost Giant charged across the snowfield, from afar it looked like a moving blizzard bastion, its massive body stomping deep into the snowdrifts.

With every step, the ground let out a thunderous tremor, and snow dust blasted by the shockwave splashed in all directions.

Chen Yuan glanced at the Frost Giant, a smile appearing on his face. “No need to rush.”

Zhang Hao and the others weren’t all that strong. There was no way they could beat a whole troop of Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, but they were more than capable of keeping themselves alive.

And the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys’ territory was very close to Xuanhe Town. By the time he got there, there was a good chance they’d still be in the middle of the fight.

The Frost Giant said nothing, just kept on wildly running.

It wanted to understand this wondrous place in greater depth, and invite every strong Pet Beast into the Giant Royal Court, to build together an unprecedented age of glory.

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

Chen Yuan wasn’t in a hurry, but the Flowing Cloud Sparrow leading the way was all flustered, flapping its thin wings nonstop.

After a short while,

with the Flowing Cloud Sparrow leading, Chen Yuan passed through a patch of bare trees, and a huge hot spring wreathed in steam appeared before his eyes.

This hot spring was much larger than the one in that cave back then. At a glance, it could easily hold more than a dozen people soaking in it at the same time.

Shifting his gaze, Chen Yuan turned his head, and saw a familiar figure.

“Yuan!”

There was a hint of a sob in Zhang Hao’s voice. He and the other young cadres were sitting limply on the ground, covered in dust and dirt, each of them bruised and swollen, looking utterly miserable, like they’d just been through hell.

On the ground in front of them lay one Pet Beast after another: Gray-armored Wild Boar, Fire Dog, Water-Walking Cat…

Every Pet Beast was covered in wounds, eyes tightly shut, their auras weak and feeble.

Seeing Advisor Chen appear, everyone instantly grew excited, as if seeing the dawn of hope. Their mouths slowly fell open, but that movement tugged at their facial injuries, and they all hissed in pain.

“Ow ow ow!”

A few Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys that had been jumping between branches on guard turned to look over, letting out low, threatening growls at the newly arrived intruders.

“Woof!”

Cola faced those unfriendly gazes head-on, taking a calm step forward. Its light brown fur swayed gently in the cold wind, and its sharp eyes suddenly flared with a dazzling blue light.

With a bark full of oppressive force, ripples spread across the hot spring’s surface, and an invisible aura of intimidation blasted out like a shockwave, slamming into those Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys.

After a moment,

the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys that had been baring their teeth all collapsed to the ground. Cola’s expression stayed indifferent, looking completely casual about it.

Just these few Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys?

This kind of small fry still needs Cola to personally make a move?

“How are you guys?” Chen Yuan strode over to Zhang Hao and the others, asking out loud.

Zhang Hao gently rubbed the bruises on his face, letting out a bitter laugh. “We’re fine, we’re fine. Just took a few punches. Not dying anytime soon.”

The others were injured about the same as Zhang Hao—just relatively mild external wounds.

But after a bout of fierce fighting, all the Pet Beasts had lost the ability to battle and would need some time to recover.

“What on earth happened here?”

Looking at the mess all over the ground, Chen Yuan frowned and asked.

They were only supposed to persuade the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys to relocate, so how did it turn into a brawl?

Was it another sudden accident?

“Sigh…”

Bruised all over, Zhang Hao first let out a deep sigh, then struggled to get up. Gnashing his teeth, he said, “If anyone ever calls Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys mild-tempered again, I’ll never let him off.”

“Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys are clearly even more violent than Monstrous Strong Monkeys, and totally unreasonable!”

After cursing them out, Zhang Hao exhaled heavily. Once his agitated mood gradually calmed, he carefully described what had happened earlier.

“Just because you guys used this hot spring without permission?” Chen Yuan was honestly surprised.

Are Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys really that petty?

“Yes! They’re exactly that petty!” Zhang Hao, seething with fury, nodded hard, his tone full of barely contained anger.

But Zhang Hao was, after all, an outstanding young cadre about to be promoted to deputy chief, and a budding business prodigy determined to become the richest man in Xuanhe Town. He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and started thinking the matter through seriously.

As the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys’ unusual behavior replayed in his mind, and the oddities of the hot spring surfaced in his thoughts, his eyes flickered as he spoke in a low voice, “But some parts of it are really suspicious.”

Compared to Zhang Hao racking his brain, Chen Yuan was calm and composed. He smiled slightly. “If we want to know the truth, we just ask the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys directly.”

He paused, then looked around and asked, “Where are the other Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys?”

Chen Yuan’s question jolted Zhang Hao awake. He widened his eyes and blurted out, “After they beat us, the other Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys all disappeared somewhere, leaving just these few to watch us.”

“The commotion here will definitely attract their attention. They’ll probably be back soon.”

“Yuan, you…”

Zhang Hao was just about to remind Chen Yuan to be careful and not underestimate them. The other side had Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys with third-tier strength; earlier, a single punch had almost knocked the Gray-armored Wild Boar out cold.

But when he looked up, he saw Spark standing on Chen Yuan’s shoulder, eyes serene, as if nothing in this world could ruffle its emotions;

the adorable Twin Flower Concubine was hiding in the down jacket pocket, only a little head poking out, smiling sweetly like a shy little princess;

the majestic Cola stood proudly to Chen Yuan’s left, posture straight and arrogant, its streamlined body radiating terrifying explosive power, while the two flowing black fur bands hinted at a touch of nobility;

Zhang Hao’s gaze skipped past the whining Sprite and the presence-less Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, and finally landed on that towering figure, like a small snow mountain.

Where did Yuan go and scam up such a badass Pet Beast again?
