Chapter 581 - 270: This Fire-breathing Bird Looks Very Weak_2

Just going into the mountains to pick mushrooms can trigger special circumstances?

The chaotic thoughts flashed away, and meeting the inquiring eyes of the three, Chen Yuan shrugged: "Let’s follow, we can’t just let him encounter danger."

"Nuomi, move out!" Jiang Wenning stretched out her right hand, her braid swinging behind her.

"Meow~"

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat meowed and gracefully trotted forward.

Unhappy with its pace, Jiang Wenning grabbed its neck and pulled it up, looking into its crystal-clear bicolored eyes: "Move faster."

"At your current pace, we’ll arrive only after the battle’s over."

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat’s limbs kicked around, gently breaking free from Jiang Wenning’s right hand, spiritual power radiated from its body, and an invisible force carried it forward.

"Ow?!!"

Watching the flying Ice Crystal Illusion Cat, Cola’s eyes widened in shock.

What, even a cat can fly?

"Alright, someday you’ll fly too, but for now let’s go see the situation."

Chen Yuan’s voice pulled Cola’s drifting thoughts back, and it whimpered slightly before charging straight forward.

Even though Fluffy Mushroom and Duoji dashed out first, their speed couldn’t match the little ones, not to mention Spark high up in the air; the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat flying with spiritual power easily outpaced them.

Using spiritual power to fly is a common method for spirit-type pet beasts, but only for small-statured ones.

If it were a Fallen Meteor Horned Beast, even with abundant spiritual power, flying would be difficult.

Because of this, Chen Yuan had already prepared an alternative path for Cola; even if it couldn’t learn to fly using wind-type abilities, it could rely on spiritual power after advancing.

"Ow ow!"

Cola, propelled by the wind, although the last to rush out, was incredibly fast, first surpassing Duoji and Fluffy Mushroom, then surpassing the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat, charging to the front where the anticipated battle unfolded before its eyes.

It wasn’t just a fierce battle, but a large-scale melee.

Various fungal pet beasts were engaged in a fierce melee, which, to Cola, looked like enticing, bouncing mushrooms jumping into a pot, rolling in boiling water, with wonderful aromas filling the air, causing it to unknowingly swallow.

"Ow..."

Really want to eat them all.

"Mush mush mush!"

Bouncing Fluffy Mushroom finally arrived there, seeing the melee, its gray cap shook continuously, emitting an anxious cry.

In front of it, a much larger Fluffy Mushroom was battling a Red-Eyed Nightmare Mushroom, skills flying from both sides, but the larger Fluffy Mushroom was gradually falling into a disadvantage, enveloped in toxic fumes.

Seeing this, Fluffy Mushroom hopped forward, leaping onto the Red-Eyed Nightmare Mushroom, its cap quickly folding to become sharp, charging forward.

But the Red-Eyed Nightmare Mushroom turned to see, its crimson eyes bursting with red light, a dangerous aura swirling around it.

"Mush!"

Fluffy Mushroom’s charging momentum halted, it shrieked in fright, head down, and fell straight to the ground, its body rigid with fear, cap tilted, falling into unconsciousness.

"Mush."

The Red-Eyed Nightmare Mushroom emitted a hoarse, mocking sound from its cap at the sight of Fluffy Mushroom’s reaction.

"Ow."

Cola couldn’t stand the reaction of the Red-Eyed Nightmare Mushroom, a whirlwind rose, lifting it high into the air before slamming it back to the ground.

In the next moment, the Red-Eyed Nightmare Mushroom fell unconscious.

"Ow~"

Cola glanced arrogantly, disliking two types of pet beasts in life:

One that steals its spotlight;

And one that won’t let it steal the spotlight.

"Why are these mushrooms fighting?"

Chen Yuan and the others arrived, stunned by the scene before them.

Why are fungal pet beasts fighting each other?

In their speculation, it was likely an invasion by an external enemy, leading the fungal pet beasts to band together to resist, yet they ended up fighting each other?

"Ru!"

Duoji saw the fallen Fluffy Mushroom, knelt on the grass, and lifted it, but Fluffy Mushroom was motionless, seemingly dead.

"Ru, don’t die, we haven’t become champions together yet."

Tears pattered down onto Fluffy Mushroom, whose body trembled lightly, then it leisurely opened its eyes: "Mush?"

Duoji hugged Fluffy Mushroom tightly, tears still shimmering in his eyes, but a smile broke on his face: "That’s great, Ru, you’re not dead."

"Mush!"

The drowsy Fluffy Mushroom finally came around, struggling to hop out, trying to rejoin the fierce melee, but Duoji stopped it: "Ru, you’re not their match."

"Mush!"

Fluffy Mushroom reacted fiercely, its cap shaking wildly.

Seeing the reactions of one human and one pet, Chen Yuan, who had experienced various special situations, maintained a calm expression and tone: "Duoji, tell us everything you know."

"Ah?"

Hearing this, Duoji was startled, his expression becoming visibly stiff as he stammered: "I... I..."

"No need to be nervous, we’re not bad guys," Chen Yuan smiled slightly, "only by knowing the full situation can we decide whether to intervene in this melee."

As a Forest Ranger of Qinling, Chen Yuan had seen and resolved multiple pet beast conflicts, most being disputes between tribes.

If their conflict wouldn’t impact the local ecological environment or harm humans, Chen Yuan wouldn’t intervene.

Upon hearing Chen Yuan’s words, Duoji looked at the still-struggling Fluffy Mushroom, then faced Chen Yuan and the others, bowing his head in apology: "I’m sorry, I deceived you."
