Think of a Way

Xiao Fan stared in shock at the scene before him.

In the open space, wolves, Lion, rabbits, sheep, cows, bears... all sorts of animals gathered together.

These animals are similar in size to the Fierce Beast in the game, but at least three times larger than real animals.

Their fur isn't as dry as other animals'; it looks very soft, as if a filter has been applied. Their bodies vary in size, some plump, some slender, but all have perfect lines. They also possess a subtle, almost ethereal, spiritual quality.

They are much better looking than most animals.

Moreover, these animals exhibit remarkable intelligence and can speak human language.

Of course, it's also possible that the plot was designed so he could understand.

"What have I done to you? Is this still <Cloud Sea>?"

It's no wonder Xiao Fan was suspicious.

The creatures in <Cloud Sea>, whether Fierce Beast or mutated plants, are all devoid of intelligence.

Even if humanoid monsters appear in the secret realm, their behavior is a fixed part of the game's mechanics.

Aside from the player entering the game, everything else is the same as playing a regular game.

But the scene before him gave Xiao Fan a different feeling; the behavior of these animals didn't seem like something the system had programmed, but rather something that actually existed.

"Hey? Little Fire, what's that on your back?"

The White Giant Wolf looked at Xiao Fan on the bird's back with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Fan:... I'm a piece of trash!

That doesn't seem quite right either...

Never mind, it's not important.

These animals are somewhat intelligent, but not many; there's no need to bother with them.

"I forgot to introduce you, Tusk. This is a righteous adventurer we met on our way here. He heard we were going to fight the Space Beast and offered to help us. His name is..."

As Little Fire spoke, he suddenly realized he didn't know Xiao Fan's name, and his expression became a little awkward.

My name is Jiu Chen.

"Yes, yes, his name is Jiu Chen."

Little Fire lowered his head, and Xiao Fan slid down his neck to the ground.

Xiao Fan wasn't short; standing in front of that giant wolf, which had Tusk, he was about the same height as its forelegs.

For a moment, all the animals on the scene looked at Xiao Fan.

The Tusk lowered their massive heads and scrutinized him closely from head to toe.

A hint of doubt flashed in his human-like eyes.

Xiao Fan stood calmly with his hands in his pockets, letting the Tusk scrutinize him, though he was actually panicking inside.

With so many animals, if each one steps on him, even with 30,000 health points, he couldn't withstand it.

Fortunately, these animals don't display health bars, which means they'll be fine as long as they don't attack first.

"It's good that he wants to help, but that Space Beast is a level 20 creature with its own space skills. Is he sure he can handle this?" Tusk's tone was full of distrust.

Xiao Fan was furious!

A man should never say he can't!

Level 15! Half health! No skill cooldown!

He's so strong in the Novice Village that he makes all other creatures despair, okay?

It was just a level 20 creature; he could reduce it to only 740 health with a wave of his hand!

Why 740 HP? Because Xiao Fan currently has 740 HP.

His level 15 and 20 Space Beast were exactly within the requirements of his Flower Grafting skill.

If he could swap his blood volume with the Space Beast's, all those animals could wipe out the Space Beast in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Fan sighed inwardly once again, "God-Tier Skill are truly awesome!"

"Rest assured, everyone. Now that I've joined you, I'm confident I can handle the Space Beast."

Xiao Fan held his head high, brimming with confidence.

A huge rabbit hopped and skipped up to Xiao Fan, its half-meter-long ears swaying back and forth as its head moved.

"Hey adventurer, I think you're oversimplifying things. That Space Beast's spatial abilities are incredibly powerful."

"Oh? How powerful is it?" Xiao Fan was also curious.

"Hmm..." The Big Rabbit sat on the ground, gesturing with its front legs.

"It can Flash and there! You pounce on it only to find it has dodged to the side, and you can't touch it at all!"

"That's right, the Space Beast's skill is indeed powerful; otherwise, we wouldn't have been unable to defeat it."

Tusk, standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

Xiao Fan's expression immediately turned serious.

If the Space Beast can Flash, it's indeed a bit troublesome. After its skill Flower Grafting marks are generated, it takes five seconds to convert. If the Space Beast Flash away, then it's truly gone.

Xiao Fan hadn't considered this question before, but since the creatures in this adventure storyline clearly possessed intelligence, he had to take it into consideration.

After all, the skill cooldown is 24 hours, and failure means waiting another day, which will also make the Space Beast more prepared.

"So how did you originally plan to deal with the Space Beast?" Xiao Fan asked, looking up at Tusk.

"I don't know." Tusk shook his head. "We've gathered here to figure out a way to deal with the Space Beast."

"That's perfect, let's all work together to figure something out."

Xiao Fan said earnestly.

Quitting is out of the question; this is part of his extraordinary adventure.

"Let's keep him; one more person means one more source of strength," said a Big Yellow Ox from the herd.

"Yes, Tusk, I think this adventurer means well. Letting him stay will be of some help." The speaker was a Lion, whose blue eyes were neither fierce nor docile, but rather held a human-like composure.

Xiao Fan looked away; the animals here really didn't resemble the NPCs in the game.

"Alright." Tusk didn't argue further. He nodded to the Lion and looked at the other animals.

"What are your thoughts on the Space Beast? Please raise your hand to speak."

In an instant, a bunch of animals raised their hands.

Xiao Fan silently stepped aside, feeling ashamed of himself upon witnessing this scene.

When it comes to raising his hand to speak, he's not as enthusiastic as these animals.

After scanning the area with its Tusk, it began calling out names one by one, and the animals spoke freely.

Xiao Fan listened for a long time but didn't hear any constructive suggestions.

It all boils down to a siege, with the most minor adjustments being made to the routes or which location is better for launching an attack.

He just didn't understand. These animals clearly knew that the Space Beast could Flash, so what was the point of these methods?

Moreover, after fighting the Space Beast with wits and courage for so long, they still don't know the Space Beast's skill cooldown or Flash distance. How are they supposed to deal with it?

Tusk also realized that the animals' proposed methods were unreliable, and a hint of disappointment flashed across the wolf's face.

Is there really no way to deal with the Space Beast?

The Life Crystal Mine is the source of all life in the valley. If it is all eaten by the Space Beast, this beautiful valley will soon wither and become a barren mountain without any plants.

And these animals will gradually lose their intelligence and degenerate into primitive creatures. Tusk is unwilling to accept this; having once possessed intelligence, who would want to revert to being a mere beast?

It kicked the pebble in front of it in frustration, then its eyes lit up when it caught sight of Xiao Fan standing to the side. "Perhaps this human adventurer has a solution."

"Jiu Chen, do you have any ideas?"

Seeing that Tusk had taken the initiative to ask him, Xiao Fan didn't hold it against its previous suspicions.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "There is a solution, but before that, I need to ask you a few questions."

What's the problem?

Does the Space Beast's Flash skill have a cooldown? Approximately how long is it? What is its Flash range?

Upon hearing this, Tusk frowned deeply.

What is a CD?
