My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 416 - Chapter 416 Chapter 415 Return

Chapter 416: Chapter 415: Return Chapter 416: Chapter 415: Return “Crack!”

The fiery red figure struggled to fly up from the Great Rift Valley, collapsing onto the snow as soon as it steadied itself.

Its feathers were disheveled and dull, its widespread wings trembled slightly, obviously devoid of any strength left.

Several members of the Fire Phoenix army in protective gear immediately surrounded it, pulling out medicines to spray on its wings, while others patted incessantly to promote absorption of the medicine.

Zhao Li walked over from a distance, glanced at the exhausted Fire Phoenix Pheasant, and asked with a heavy voice, “Hao Zi, how’s it going?”

“Reporting to the deputy leader, we’ve explored to a depth of over a thousand meters, but this is already the limit for the Fire Phoenix Pheasant. Regarding Professor Chen’s side…” Tong Hao looked towards a nearby tent and continued, “Unless a few Generals personally come over or we invite a more professional team…”

“We’ve run out of options.”

Zhao Li looked silently into the pitch-dark Great Rift Valley, then turned towards the tent.

Standing at the tent entrance, Zhao Li hesitated for a moment, “Professor Chen”

“Come in.”

Inside the tent, with simple instruments placed around, a small ball-like Ice Plateau Saber-Toothed Tiger was tearing and biting at a sleeping bag.

Chen Yixing was seated at a makeshift desk in a white lab coat, looking at a document laid out in front of her for a long time without turning it.

Her dimly lit curly hair draped near her ears, making her look somewhat haggard.

Zhao Li glanced at the helmet on Chen Yixing’s desk, his Adam’s apple moving up and down; he knew it belonged to Shao Zifeng.

The day they arrived next to the valley, aside from some messy traces, there was nothing but a helmet lying in the snow.

“If you have something to say, just say it.”

Chen Yixing’s voice was somewhat cold, still looking down at the blank document before her.

“Professor, a thousand meters below the Rift Valley is already the limit of our exploration. I believe that continuing to waste time like this is pointless. It’d be better to seek help from within the country, although…” Zhao Li really wanted to say that even this would be pointless.

The bottom of the Great Rift Valley was out of sight, and even with Shao Zifeng’s powerful pet, the chances of survival were almost nonexistent.

This was virtually the consensus among everyone, with only Chen Yixing still holding on.

“Hmm, anything else?”

Chen Yixing’s tone was unfluctuating, as if discussing a trivial matter of no concern.

Zhao Li stood for a moment longer, said nothing else, and left the tent.

After he left, silence returned to the tent. The Ice Plateau Saber-Toothed Tiger stumbled over to Chen Yixing’s side, hugging her leg in an attempt to get her attention.

But Chen Yixing remained statue-like, staring blankly at the helmet on the table.

“Meaningless, huh…”

Chen Yixing picked up her phone and dialed a number, “Haiyuan, how’s it going with the task?”

“Professor, things are going smoothly. The superiors have already agreed to halt the construction of the new station and have the construction team use more professional equipment to search,” Haiyuan said before pausing and continuing, “I’ll escort them on the way and make sure they hurry over.”

“By the way, Old Master Gu asked when you’re planning to return to the Imperial Capital. It seems the research institute has made another breakthrough.”

“Let’s talk about that later!”

She hung up the phone.

Chen Yixing sat quietly for a while, preparing to write her paper on the ‘Star’ attribute.

No matter whether Shao Zifeng could survive or not, this honor belonged to him.

Glancing at her wristwatch out of habit, Chen Yixing suddenly sat up straight.

Seeing a red dot that had appeared on her watch, her face showed a mix of sorrow and joy.

Before long, Zhao Li and the others suddenly received notification from Chen Yixing.

“Everyone, stop all activities and set off immediately to ice dome Point A.”

…

In Antarctica, the fierce cold wind seemed to never stop, whipping up snow dust that draped this ancient continent in a veil of white.

The continuous snowy peaks were covered with thick snow, constantly blown away by the wind. Under the leaden clouds, the mountain tops appeared to emit wisps of smoke.

At the foot of the mountains, the void suddenly twisted.

A deep blue dot swirled and expanded, forming a half-human-high deep blue vortex.

Thump!

Two dark figures were spat out one after the other, the deep blue vortex vanishing immediately afterward.

“Ugh–”

Shao Zifeng doubled over, hunched on the ground, continuously dry-heaving due to the dizziness from the teleportation.

The burly toothed dragon extended its disproportionately small front claws, cocked its head for a glance, and finally quietly withdrew them.

“Damn it, if I use a teleportation array again I’ll… ugh–”

Before he could finish his sentence, spasms in his abdomen made him involuntarily dry-heave again.

After a while, the residual effects of teleportation slowly dissipated.

The bone-chilling wind made him shiver uncontrollably.

Shao Zifeng, his face pale, tightened his protective suit and looked blankly around.

It seemed to be a place he had never been before.

But now was not the time to think about this; without proper equipment, he urgently needed a place to hide.

“Yaya, make a hole for me in the mountain.”

“Roar!”

The toothed dragon let out a protesting growl, clearly dissatisfied with the name.

“Come on, we’ll talk about the name later, later, later, I’m freezing to death here.”

The toothed dragon didn’t hesitate any longer. Its amber eyes glowed with a green light, and tiny swirls of wind appeared on the snow around its claws. Then, with a roar, it charged towards the nearest snow peak.

Boom!

With a loud rumble, the toothed dragon stood up from the rubble, looking towards Shao Zifeng with a tinge of pride.

Shao Zifeng looked up, his eyes wide.

His body was trembling, whether from the cold or something else.

“Gurgle?”

The toothed dragon cocked its head, looking up with some confusion.

Thick snow from the violently shaking mountain rolled down, engulfing everything in its path.

Damn it.

Shao Zifeng cursed under his breath.

“Run for it!”

With that, he sprinted off.

The toothed dragon also realized what was happening and, no longer concerned with pride, scrambled toward Shao Zifeng, each heavy step sending vibrations through the ground.

As he ran, Shao Zifeng glanced back and yelled, “Idiot, use Hurricane Wings!”

“Woo~”

The toothed dragon let out a pitiful growl, its eyes twinkling with green light again.

Ghostly wind elements formed a blurred pair of wings on its back, and its speed instantly increased, catching up with Shao Zifeng in a moment.

It extended its forelimbs.

Caught by the two stubby forelimbs of the toothed dragon, Shao Zifeng felt like a ragdoll being tossed in the wind, lifted off the ground by the running creature, then bumping heavily against its relatively soft belly.

It was an extremely unpleasant feeling and much worse compared to Qiuqiu.

After a while, the avalanche finally stopped.

Shao Zifeng, still being carried by the toothed dragon, kept nagging, “Can’t you use your brain? Last time it was a rockslide, this time you go head-first into a mountain.”

“Do you realize how dumb that is?”

“Woo–”

(PS: Thank you to the generous big boss for the one hundred thousand reward; truthfully, this month’s reward feels like a shot of adrenaline to me. I’m not ashamed to tell you all that my daily manuscript fee is only about ten yuan. I often joke in the group that I run on love. The reason I’ve persisted for so long is not only because this is my first book, but also because I made a promise a long time ago to finish it, even though I’m not sure if those I promised are still reading. The addition of more content was so sudden, so we’ll postpone it until tomorrow.)
