Chapter 331: Chapter 192: Sunrise Quality! Advisor Chen’s Path to Wealth! (Part 2)

In the early stages of Spiritual Energy Revival, the vast majority of Pet Beasts evolved directly from ordinary creatures, and due to the low concentration of spiritual energy, they were mostly of ordinary and elite quality.

But as Spiritual Energy Revival continued, the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth increased, and naturally born Pet Beasts would become of increasingly high quality, and some life forms with incredible abilities would also be nurtured.

However, the higher the quality, the harder it is to breed, which inevitably limits the number of high-quality Pet Beasts to a certain degree, preventing them from filling the streets.

Since entering the Mysterious Forest, the highest quality wild Pet Beast Chen Yuan had seen was a Commander.

This green little deer must be an exception.

"Qing Bo, a very strange name."

It doesn’t sound like a Pet Beast’s name.

Qing can be associated with wood, and Bo can extend to amber.

But when the two characters are put together, Chen Yuan feels puzzled.

Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered, suddenly remembering a key piece of information: "The World Tree is named Cyan, could it be related to Qing Bo?"

The World Tree was likely that towering giant, and now a Sunrise Quality Pet Beast named Qing Bo appears nearby, which is too coincidental.

Chen Yuan never overlooks multiple coincidences occurring at the same time.

However, this moment was not the best time to delve into these matters, as the sky became increasingly dusky and he had to hurry on his way.

Chen Yuan climbed onto the back of the Star Moon Deer, nodded at the leader of the Star Moon Deer: "We can set off now."

"Towards that towering giant tree."

"Roar~"

The leader of the Star Moon Deer nodded slightly, its voice turning into a signal to advance, and all the Star Moon Deer galloped across the snowy ground.

As Chen Yuan suspected before, the back of the Star Moon Deer was broad, and sitting on it didn’t feel bumpy at all.

Chen Yuan donned his goggles and bundled up tightly, while the tail of his coat flapped with the cold wind howling past.

Fortunately, the snowstorm had long receded, so the group didn’t have to advance while braving a snowstorm.

"Zizzizz~"

A cute Snowy Squirrel stood on a tree, waved its paw at the group, and then forcefully tossed a pine cone, hitting Lu Ran right on the head.

Lu Ran caught the pine cone, looked up at the Snowy Squirrel, his eyes flickering, but his mouth curled into a smile: "You little rascal."

He cupped his hands at his mouth like a megaphone and shouted loudly: "You rascal, why don’t you keep it for yourself for the winter?"

Zhang Yu whispered: "Don’t shout loudly, what if another snow..."

Before he finished speaking, Professor Song shot him a glance, scaring Zhang Yu into quickly covering his mouth.

A snow-white figure suddenly glided past Jiang Wenning’s side, with a fluffy cotton candy-like tail gently swaying, amber eyes tightly fixed on the latter.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Wenning exclaimed in delight.

"Meow..."

The Ice Crystal Illusion Cat glanced askance at the Ice Fox, secretly thinking that this little creature had not yet given up on luring its owner to take it away.

This was simply wishful thinking!

However, not only the Ice Fox, but the silhouettes of Wind Chime Birds flitting across the sky, and more Pet Beasts appearing in the snowy terrain.

These were all Pet Beasts they had rescued.

They ran, called out, and pursued.

"They are expressing their thanks to us," someone said.

Actually, no explanation was needed; everyone understood the intentions of these little guys.

They were so silly and foolish that despite the cold weather and thick snow, they insisted on running alongside them for a while.

The sky grew darker.

Everyone looked back, waving hands:

"Go back quickly."

"It’s too cold, go back and rest."

Some Pet Beasts paused, while others continued to follow them.

Among them was a Hanhan Pig.

"Humph~"

The Hanhan Pig stopped the Star Moon Deer on which Zhang Yu was riding and then crouched down, eyes full of anticipation.

Zhang Yu understood its intentions and fell silent instantly.

Someone jeered: "Wouldn’t you like a Pet Beast mount delivered to your doorstep?"

Zhang Yu blushed: "Thi-this...this is a Hanhan Pig!"

Professor Song said calmly: "There can be no Pet Beast discrimination."

Zhang Yu remained silent, then looked at the Hanhan Pig gazing eagerly at him, feeling both amused and helpless: "You like me that much?"

"Humph!"

The Hanhan Pig’s eyes sparkled, and its round, elastic body swayed, its light blue tail nearly pointing to the sky.

Seeing the Hanhan Pig’s reaction, Zhang Yu fell into long silence, suddenly raised a hand to wipe his eyes, and laughed: "This is the first time someone—no, a Pet Beast has chosen me so steadfastly."

With that, he sat on the Hanhan Pig and said to the previously ridden Star Moon Deer: "Thanks for your hard work earlier."

Chen Wenhao chuckled: "Junior brother is quite liked by Pet Beasts as well."

Professor Song huffed lightly: "Not too bad."

He paused, then his tone softened: "Your junior brother lacks talent in meditation; after we return, spend more time guiding him."

"Yes, teacher," said Chen Wenhao, nodding.

Chen Yuan quietly made a decision—to ensure Zhang Hao and Zhang Yu meet when they return.

Two Piggy Knights meeting would surely be amusing.

Moreover, he wanted his younger brother to study whether pig-type Pet Beasts might be inherently fond of people with the surname Zhang.

As they moved further along, the snow lessened, and night quietly descended.

Vision was dim; everyone glanced back, only able to see figures swallowed by the night.

They seemed to linger in some place, a distant gesture of farewell.

Jiang Wenning whispered: "What a dreamy day."

Chen Yuan nodded: "Indeed."

Waking up to encounter a blizzard, struggling onward, surviving an avalanche, and rescuing numerous Pet Beasts.

Fortunately, they managed to escape the snowstorm, and those poor Pet Beasts didn’t sleep forever beneath the snow.

Everyone was alive and well, which was wonderful.

After nightfall, the temperature dropped rapidly.

The hoof tips of the Star Moon Deer skimmed over the snowfield, with each leap emitting an ice-blue halo, like comets sweeping across the night sky.

Herds of Star Moon Deer transformed into a dark brown stream, galloping across the snowy ground.

The Hanhan Pig followed closely at the end, snorting constantly.

The wind screeched past their ears.

The darkness grew deeper; Spark soared high in the air, and the Flame Stream surging throughout its body dispelled the darkness like a round red sun.

Each Star Moon Deer bore star-like patterns glowing faintly, as though reflections of countless stars in the night sky.

At that moment, the snowfield transformed into a galaxy.

Who knows how long it had been when an astonished voice sounded nearby: "Look ahead, what is that?"

The deer herd halted.

Everyone lifted their heads, looked forward—amid the vast night, a towering, cloud-reaching giant tree unexpectedly entered their gaze.

Even with heads raised high, the top couldn’t be seen, but under bright moonlight and dazzling starlight, you could see the thin clouds wrapped around the trunk.

"Is this really a tree?" someone gulped, face full of disbelief.

Even though the world had entered the Extraordinary Era, encountering such a colossal object left everyone deeply amazed.

This was a miracle.

An undeniable miracle.

"Teacher, this must be the World Tree, right?" Chen Wenhao’s gaze fell on the towering giant tree, eyes unable to hide his shock.

Their current reactions were akin to primitive humans suddenly encountering skyscrapers.

"Yes, it should be..." Professor Song tried his best to remain calm, but his hand adjusting the glasses trembled slightly, and his heart was a tumultuous ocean.

The power ordinary Pet Beasts wield was already incredible, but what about legendary life forms?

Such as this towering giant tree before them, if it truly was the World Tree, what unimaginable powers would it possess?

Chen Yuan was equally excited, whispering: "Getting rich..."

The emergence of Qing Bo was a delightful surprise, directly bringing Chen Yuan’s Source Point count to an unprecedented abundance, capable of unlocking the Morning Star advancement conditions for two Pet Beasts at once.

But if he could lay hands on a legendary life form...

Every Pet Beast on the farm would have the potential for advancement.

Yet Chen Yuan quickly suppressed his inner excitement: "We should first find a place to camp."

The night was cold and long; they had to find a resting place quickly.

Moreover...this towering giant tree seemed close at hand, yet was actually a long distance away.

The saying "viewing mountains from a distance kills horses" fit perfectly here.
