Little Three fell flat on his face with a "splat."
After a while, he lifted his head and looked at Chloe with teary eyes.
Seeing this, Chloe immediately became concerned—
Oh no, Little Three was already stupid, what if he became even dumber after hitting his head?
She was so worried that she almost forgot about the sea urchin she needed to focus on dealing with, and started running towards Little Three instead.
Little Three's act of playing injured didn't last more than five seconds before he broke character. He dashed in front of Chloe in one swift move, shielding her from the sea urchin's incoming spines.
He roared at the sea urchin, his tentacles flailing wildly. With his remaining tentacles, he swept Chloe and Anderson behind him, and bravely charged forward himself!
Chloe was immediately moved and exclaimed:
"What a hero, Little Three is a hero!"
Anderson choked on several mouthfuls of dust and couldn't help but cough a few times.
He then turned around to wipe Chloe's face clean with a handkerchief, and helped her stand up from the ground.
His voice was low: "There are still many soldiers around, let's go take care of them."
"No," Chloe said, "That stupid sea urchin has pissed me off. I'm not Chloe if I don't beat it black and blue today."
Anderson opened his mouth, wanting to say something but held back: "...Alright."
In the next moment, Chloe, who had just been protected by Little Three, spread her wings and took flight again. Spell after spell rained down, a trail of sparks and lightning, nearly roasting the sea urchin.
The sea urchin was furious and lunged towards Chloe.
Seeing this, how could Little Three stand idly by?
Roaring, he charged forward, his tentacles lashing out and successfully intercepting the sea urchin heading for Chloe.
The sea urchin, now redirecting its hatred, was so angry that smoke seemed to be coming out of its head. Though it was hard to tell if the smoke was from its anger or from Chloe's relentless spells.
The scene was in constant flux.
With Chloe's incantations, lightning bolts as thick as tree trunks came snaking down at high speed, striking the sea urchin with earth-shattering booms.
Not far away, Daniel, who was about to finish his part of the battlefield, looked towards Chloe's direction and remarked admiringly:
"That must be Chloe's doing."
Qin Huaibei: "Who else could it be?"
In the sky, Ren Yunying, who had just dropped off Little Three, took it upon herself to throw down the fantasy species as well.
The lion-cat, just before landing, once again transformed into a bizarre creature composed of countless animals.
Tiger head, snake body, eagle wings, and chicken claws.
And enormous in size.
Several monsters rushed over at the commotion, startling the fantasy species. It reflexively began to beat up the monsters approaching it, causing chaos all around.
Completely clearing out the monsters here wasn't impossible; in fact, it could be considered quite simple.
Because they weren't endless.
Unlike the transparent monsters they had encountered before, which seemed impossible to finish off.
Several hours passed.
The monsters here were now few and far between.
Especially those Viper Group soldiers, who had basically bid farewell to this beautiful world.
Even that exceptionally arrogant sea urchin was gradually weakening, its black mist shrinking.
Little Three brandished his tentacles triumphantly, whipping the sea urchin mercilessly.
Before long, the last wisp of black mist was about to dissipate.
Chloe, quick-eyed and quick-handed, summoned a fireball to incinerate the black mist into ashes, ensuring not a trace was left in the world, only then did she feel at ease.
The battlefield was a mess.
When Ren Yunying leisurely descended from the spaceship, what she saw was a sweaty, dejected Chloe sitting on the ground.
Little Three and the fantasy species, having finished off the monsters, immediately scurried to her side.
Little Three touched Chloe's cheek with its long, curly tentacle, then nuzzled her affectionately.
Chloe, panting heavily, glanced at it, then finally pulled out a ring from her pocket and compared it to Little Three's tentacle.
Seeing this, Little Three was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening. It shrank itself with a "plop" and held out its thin little tentacle in front of Chloe.
Chloe grabbed its little tentacle and slipped the ring onto it.
Little Three was overjoyed at receiving the little diamond ring, spinning hundreds of circles on the spot.
Not far away, Daniel and the others were also supporting each other as they walked over.
Seeing the ring on Little Three's tentacle, Daniel whistled:
"Oh, Little Three's got a new toy, huh?"
Little Three, who had been growling roughly while fighting earlier, now squeaked in a high-pitched voice, making random noises.
Although they couldn't understand, judging by the tone, it was probably expressing joy.
After letting them celebrate for a bit, Ren Yunying asked:
"What about the Viper Group's boss, did you find him?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chloe, who had been dejected just moments ago, scrambled up from the ground and ran towards the laboratory.
Fortunately, when she arrived, Sotos was being guarded by a tall soldier, looking pale and unable to escape the spell circle she had cast.
Chloe immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind her was Ren Yunying, who had followed her.
"Is that the boss of the Viper Group?"
"Yes," Chloe said, as she fished out a pair of handcuffs from Ren Yunying's pocket and swiftly cuffed Sotos' hands, saying with satisfaction, "All done!"
Sotos: "..."
He looked at Chloe with gloomy eyes.
Chloe blinked: "You're not expecting me to return your food, are you? That's not possible!"
She exaggerated: "I've already eaten it, swallowed it into my stomach, and it's probably about to come out the other end. How could I possibly give it back to you!"
Ren Yunying: "..."
Sotos: "..."
Sotos closed his eyes, probably unwilling to believe that he had been defeated by such a nonsensical little brat.
The Viper Group's vicious and so-called glorious history finally came to an end at this moment.
The base was blown to smithereens, all research results burned to ashes.
Including those captured hostages, who were safely escorted home.
After all this, Chloe was utterly exhausted.
She stood in place, and the next second her body fell backwards.
But as expected, Chloe didn't fall to the ground.
She fell into a familiar embrace.
Warm and broad, with a faint bitter medicinal scent.
It was Anderson.

Such news reports emerged in abundance, exploding like fireworks across the Star Network.
Meanwhile, Chloe, hailed as a hero by the entire continent's population, was sound asleep in bed.
Outside the room, Xavier lowered his eyes, his slender fingers tapping the table repeatedly.
After a long while, he said in a low voice:
"Is that antidote really effective?"
