The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

Long Teng’s casual guess made Xie Sen’s heart flutter. He immediately thought of the red energy. He called out to Adam in his mind.

Adam responded almost instantly, his voice excited, “Ahhhhh! I feel it! It’s just up ahead to the northeast. It’s very close!”

Xie Sen called up the map, and asked Maine, “Which way is the fight?”

“Northeast.” Maine said.

Xie Sen pursed his lips. So it seemed that those changes must be related to the red energy.

“What are the consequences of red energy on animals?” Xie Sen asked Adam in his mind.

Adam mused, “Red energy is the main fire. The energy is dominant and strong, and the nature of animals is to become stronger. If they feel the red energy, they will certainly take the initiative to approach. If there is no subjective consciousness and they get too close, they will be stimulated. But my five elements of energy all contain a very strong natural force, which is very good for intelligent life, if…If it can withstand the intensity of the energy.”

Xie Sen looked at the fighting beasts. “There seems to be trouble. Many of them are fighting.”

Adam’s voice faded, “I, I didn’t mean to. As soon as I withdraw the red energy, the effects of the red energy will disappear.”

Xie Sen was even more worried. There were so many beasts guarding the intersection, how was he going to get in and find the red energy?

“We’ll figure it out.” Maine saw Xie Sen’s frown, took him by the shoulders and patted him. Then he walked to the edge of the cliff. Xie Sen hurried to follow.

They were at a height where they could clearly see the view below. There was a winding river in the canyon. The water was clear, and the surface shone with fine sunlight. Occasional flashes of dark shadows reminded them that the river wasn’t as calm as it appeared.

There were also animals fighting on the riverbank, mostly winged beasts, about to fly straight down the bluff. As he looked down from above, it was obvious that the closer they got to the downstream location, the more dense the beasts became.

“Wow! Is that a flying eagle beast!” Long Teng suddenly got excited, tapped Bai Jiao’s shoulder and pointed in the opposite direction of the downstream location.

They looked over, and saw that the other mountainside wasn’t far from the location. There was water pouring down from the top, which formed a waterfall with a small but wide drop.

Near the middle of the waterfall, there was a black, bird-shaped beast. It was very large, with wings that spread out more than four meters. It hovered in mid-air, as its sharp eagle eyes stared down. Behind it there was a huge stone. As the waterfall’s water flowed onto the stone, it formed a natural door curtain that blocked the part of the stone nearest the mountain, so only half of the stone was exposed.

The left and right sides of the stone were each blocked by a huge, prone, light gray beast. The skin of the beast and the stone block were similar in color, and without looking carefully, they were completely unnoticeable.

Bai Jiao subconsciously took a step forward. “That‘s a flying eagle beast. Near the stone are giant elephant beasts, the only known purely vegetarian A class contract beast. Legend has it that they’ve long been extinct because of the scarcity of edible plants!”

“Wow! So cool!” Long Teng jumped up and down excitedly.

Xie Sen reached out, and touched his right shoulder. The temperature of the peony had been rising since he reached the edge of the cliff, and reminded him that the red energy was close by.
