Chapter 1 Old Charlie's Hesitation

Old Charlie hesitated and said,

"Madam, this is not a good idea. If we summon her now, the chance of charming her successfully is 0%. No creature wants to be controlled by others when in extreme pain! I understand your desire to help her, but the behavior of any female animal after pregnancy and childbirth is unpredictable. Any action, even a friendly one, could lead to a frantic attack. More importantly, when we help her give birth, we may cause her even greater pain! This almost guarantees that she will become even more insane in order to protect her young."

Zi hesitated, unwilling, and said,

"Are we just going to watch her die?"

Old Charlie observed and said,

"As of now, this mountain cyclops mother must have been stimulated before. It is very likely that in her previous pregnancy, in order to avoid risks, she controlled the nutrition of the fetus to make it too small, so although the delivery was safe, the offspring was stillborn."

"The last bad experience obviously deeply stimulated her, so when she was pregnant this time, in order to make up for such a fault, she conceived an extra-large fetus, um, it looks more than 50% above the normal standard! A typical case of overcorrection. The chance of a normal delivery is zero."

"However, if this fetus can survive, it will definitely be very powerful, because the cyclops' god, the Mother Earth, is very fond of large offspring, and the supernatural powers bestowed on them are especially powerful."

Fang Senyan hesitated and said,

"So, what do you mean?"

Old Charlie said in his usual gentle but cold tone,

"Let the mother die. We can gamble on the vitality of this oversized cub. It should be able to last longer than its mother. Then, the animal will regard the first moving object it sees after opening its eyes as its mother. Therefore, taming it will be a natural process."

Zi glared at him coldly, but Old Charlie seemed not to see it and bowed slightly, then retreated.

This old man was like a cold machine, able to make the most favorable but also the most ruthless choice. In fact, for a team leader, such a person is needed in many situations.

Fang Senyan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, saying,

"Using the Ukiyo-e to summon creatures doesn't seem to be free. Powerful creatures even require fifty points of merit and two hundred thousand universal points. Sanzi, are you ready?"

Sanzi smiled wryly and said,

"I traded some merit points and saved enough, but I'm still a bit short on universal points."

Reef said,

"The shortage of universal points is not a problem."

Fang Senyan said to Sanzi,

"You heard what Old Charlie just said. I captured this mountain cyclops to create an opportunity for you. You are a professional authority in the field of trapping creatures, so the timing of the summoning is up to you to decide."

Sanzi said very simply,

"Then I choose to summon the mountain cyclops right now. Although I don't have confidence in charming her, I still have the confidence to communicate with her. The mountain cyclops should be a creature of higher intelligence. Although she may be crazy and unreasonable for the sake of her young, I believe that she will also become rational for the sake of her young's life and death."

Fang Senyan nodded solemnly and said,

"Then, let's do as you think."

An excited look appeared on Sanzi's face. He couldn't help but feel a slight excitement and tremor, and then he pressed his hand on the Ukiyo-e. Suddenly, a faint white light appeared on his hand, and then the light, like water, gushed out and submerged the Ukiyo-e. Then, the remaining force became even more turbulent, spreading and surging over the ground, walls, and ceiling.

The group of people felt no discomfort in the white light, except that their vision was affected. When they regained their sight, Fang Senyan was the first to realize that his group had come to a very miniature space that looked very similar to the plane where he was promoted to colonist. It was only about ten square kilometers, and the terrain and environment were not unfamiliar to Fang Senyan. It looked like the area where the mountain cyclops lived was directly cut off by a dozen square kilometers and thrown here.

One kilometer ahead of them was the cyclops giving birth.

A series of prompts came from the nightmare imprint:

"You have used the summoning function of the Golden Branch Mission special item: Ukiyo-e."

"The creature you summoned is: an eighth-order legendary creature, the mountain cyclops."

"This creature is a hostile creature. Because of its high rank, it will gain a favorable home field environment. However, there will be no other creatures to interfere with your actions."

"The summoning fee is fifty merit points and two hundred thousand universal points. The summoning lasts for six minutes. Because the owner of the Ukiyo-e is an imperial colonel, you will receive an additional three minutes of bonus."

"Please seize the time to carry out your plan."

After the prompt, Fang Senyan and the others stood on the mushroom rock plain again. Revisiting the old place, Fang Senyan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. On this plain, he was born and died, racking his brains, not only fighting against the extremely difficult environment, but also fighting against the extremely ferocious beasts, and even fighting against a disorganized group of his own people! This could almost be said to be the most difficult battle he had ever experienced.

At this time, Sanzi knew that there were only nine minutes, so he was already seizing the time. He actually grabbed an animal similar to a roe deer from somewhere, and carried it in his hand, alive and kicking, towards that side.

Fang Senyan frowned and said,

"Should I go with you? If you go alone, you'll be in near-death status as soon as that big guy turns hostile."

Sanzi smiled confidently,

"Believe me, none of you are as charming as I am. If you come along, it will be completely counterproductive."

Next, they watched Sanzi's thin body slowly walk forward. At this time, Fang Senyan suddenly realized that Sanzi was only fifteen or sixteen years old, still a teenager! He was actually going to face such a risk!

His heart suddenly tightened, and he wanted to call Sanzi back, but Sanzi's confident smile was still vivid in his mind. Fang Senyan's expression changed several times, but he sighed and knew that if he really did this, Sanzi's confidence would collapse from then on, and the whole person would be useless.

At this time, Zi walked to his side, seemingly understanding Fang Senyan's mood, and held his hand to comfort him in a low voice:

"Sanzi was originally a chosen one, favored by the space, and although he looks young, he is deeply influenced by you. He must not be someone who speaks carelessly. If he says he is confident, then you can rest assured."

Fang Senyan sighed slightly, but grabbed Zi's hand and refused to let go. Zi's face turned red, greatly embarrassed, and she stepped on the back of Fang Senyan's foot and trampled hard, but Fang Senyan just pretended not to feel it. He would definitely not give up the advantage that should be taken.

They saw Sanzi walking very slowly, and stopping and going all the way. Later, he even deliberately hunched his body and walked forward with his waist bent, looking very strange no matter how you looked at it. At this time, Old Charlie whispered to Fang Senyan:

"This way of walking is a common practice used by mountain cyclops when entering each other's territory. Hunching the body makes it difficult to launch the supernatural power of driving the soil. The item held in the hand is a gift for borrowing the road—the only concept that mountain cyclops have about wealth is whether it can be eaten. Judging from Mr. Sanzi's actions and behavior, he should have carefully considered this series of actions before performing them."

Despite being in extreme suffocation and pain, the mountain cyclops still discovered Sanzi who was slowly walking over. The vigilant creature immediately activated its supernatural power, and a large rock quickly formed in its right hand.

However, Sanzi cleverly stopped at this time, making a series of gurgling sounds in his throat, and constantly raised the poor roe deer in his hand. Fang Senyan said in surprise:

"In such a short period of time, Sanzi has learned the language of the mountain cyclops?"

Following Sanzi's words and actions, the mountain cyclops hesitated for a moment, then slowly解除d its supernatural power, and the terrifying stone block was re-transformed into soil.

This little guy in front of him was not threatening at all, and there was a peaceful and peaceful aura on his body. In addition, the language and posture he used also made the mountain cyclops feel a strange sense of closeness, because in the torment of pain, all creatures' emotions would become more fragile, so Sanzi successfully approached.

Sanzi then slowly approached the cyclops, but still cautiously stood at a certain distance to avoid stimulating the giant beast tormented by pain, and used the cyclops language that he had memorized beforehand to point at himself and introduce himself:

"I have been favored by the Earth God. There is also the soul of a cyclops in my body, so although I have lost the power to control the earth, I can use my mind to connect and communicate with my clansmen."

After saying these words, Sanzi let the cyclops digest his words, and then began to use his mental communication ability:

"How is your child now?"

Under the effect of mental communication, the mountain cyclops suddenly felt Sanzi's voice in its mind! The giant beast suddenly widened its already round eyes in surprise. After a moment of tension, stone blocks immediately appeared in its thick three-fingered palm, but after looking at Sanzi suspiciously for a few times, it reluctantly restrained itself from throwing them and placed them back on the ground.
