In the raging sandstorm, Chloe reached out to touch the dark door.
But before she got close, her hand was gently blocked by the monster.
Chloe looked up: ?
She saw the monster raise its chicken claws and push Chloe's hand back gently but firmly, refusing access.
The meaning was clear - don't touch.
Chloe was silent for a while, weighing things over and over again, and finally did not insist.
Forget it, this monster looks very powerful, although it has not shown any aggressiveness for now, but what if it goes berserk if I forcibly open the door?
Can't risk it, can't risk it, she's still just a weak cub.
Chloe took a few steps back, and also grabbed Daniel, who was about to move forward to sniff some more, and retreated with the wolf.
Daniel did not understand: "Why are you pulling me?"
"Some things can only be viewed from afar, not desecrated." Chloe pretended to be profound.
Daniel's paws were itchy, his nose was also itchy, very curious about this behemoth, but still obediently retreated.
They stood in place staring at the monster, and soon there were footsteps behind them.
Chloe looked back and found that it was Anderson and the others.
"How did you get here?" Chloe asked in surprise.
Qin Huaibei looked utterly speechless: "The notification sound on the terminal from the message you sent woke us all up."
Chloe nodded, indicating that she understood.
Katherine looked at the monster in front: "You guys abandoned your companions and didn't keep watch at night just for this monster?"
Upon hearing this, Chloe felt a little guilty: "No such thing, what are you imagining?"
Although she said so, everyone was very curious about this monster.
Chloe pointed at it and said, "Look, chicken claws."
Qin Huaibei: ...
His forehead bulged with green veins: "Is there a possibility that those are dragon claws?"
"Dragon claws?" Chloe thought about it carefully, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, never heard of it."
Qin Huaibei: "..."
He took out his terminal, scanned the monster from top to bottom, and then said:
"There are no records of this monster on the mainland. It should be a native creature of the Desert Planet."
Ever since the mainland entered the interstellar age hundreds of years ago, the surrounding star systems had been mostly explored, exploited if exploitable, colonized if colonizable.
The Desert Planet was a desolate planet among desolate planets, so even though it was selected as the competition venue, the inspection was not particularly thorough before the start of the competition.
This was probably why the monster had not been found before the start of the competition.
They had wanted to take a look at the dark door, but the monster was guarding it tightly. It eventually lay down on the door, blocking it completely.
Everyone: "..."
Just then, the horizon flashed a few times, and a large screen appeared.
Chloe looked up at the screen, and the image of the person in charge of the competition immediately appeared.
The gist was for them to proceed with the competition first, and the organizers would deal with this unknown monster.
Chloe and the others looked at each other for a while, and eventually still left.
Indeed, no matter how exotic the monster was, it was not as important as the competition.
They from The No.1 Military Academy must seize the first place!
Just before leaving, Chloe reached out and touched the monster's chicken claws, then nimbly climbed onto the wolf's back.
Daniel, who was originally licking his fur, instantly exploded: "Are you done?!"
Chloe casually patted his wolf head: "Pay regularly, 10,000 a month."
Daniel, who was about to rage, instantly calmed down.
"10,000... that's acceptable too."
The rest of the team who witnessed everything: "..."
Qin Huaibei secretly gave Chloe a thumbs up.
Seeing this, Chloe kindly asked, "Do you guys want to get on too?"
Before the others could answer, Daniel sat still first: "No!"
"Hmm?" Chloe, "What's wrong?"
She meaningfully said, "I did pay."
It was true, but...
Daniel cleared his throat: "This is a one seater, if they get on I'll have to get bigger, that costs extra."
Chloe nodded in satisfaction: "Price is not a problem."
Upon hearing this, Daniel's eyes lit up and he immediately made his wolf form much larger.
Qin Huaibei and the others eagerly jumped onto Daniel's back.
Encouraged by money, Daniel ran very vigorously, and rushed forward like a gust of wind.
On the wolf's back, Chloe sat cross-legged, thought of something, and looked back.
I saw that the strangely shaped monster was lying at the dark door, staring straight at the direction they were leaving with those golden eyes.
It seemed quite obedient?
But she hadn't looked for long before Anderson pursed his lips and turned her body back, instructing: "Sit properly."
Chloe had no choice but to reluctantly turn around and stare at the front honestly.
It turned out that four legs would always run faster than two legs. Soon, they ran into Sasley Military Academy's people.
It couldn't be said to have bumped into them. About 400 meters away from Sasley Military Academy, Chloe grabbed Daniel's wolf fur and forced him to stop.
Daniel was just happily running around and was a little dissatisfied at being forced to stop, breathing hot air from his nose.
Chloe gently slapped his wolf head: "There are people ahead."
"Why did you slap me for no reason?" Daniel seemed to not have heard her and said so.
Chloe: "How much strength can a weak little girl like me have? What nonsense are you talking about?"
A weak little girl?
Everyone present looked at each other and kept silent.
Chloe seemed to be oblivious to their reaction, only extending her perception forward, excitedly said: "They are hunting a high-level beast."
Qin Huaibei raised his eyebrows: "Specifically what?"
Chloe closed her eyes and sensed it, then said, "A saber-toothed tiger, estimated to be over 5 meters in size."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"So big?" Katherine frowned and shook her head, "The people from Sasley Military Academy can't beat it."
No one knew the elves of Sasley Military Academy better than her. The elves were very good at healing abilities, but slightly inferior in aggressiveness, especially in melee skills. Few elves could practice well.
This saber-toothed tiger was huge in size. Even if the people of Sasley Military Academy wanted to tire it to death, it would take a lot of time.
Rather than taking time to kill the saber-toothed tiger, it would be better to use that time to hurry on the road.
Chloe stroked her chin and smiled, "Actually I understand them. Anyway, the first must be our military academy. They want to hunt more beasts to accumulate points to grab second place. It's understandable too!"
There could only be one champion in a competition, while the remaining rankings were calculated based on the number of beasts hunted and killed.
The more points, the higher the ranking.
Just then, Katherine suddenly said:
"Let's go rob their prey."
