Old Charlie hesitated for a moment.
"Ma 'am, that's not a good idea. If you summon her now, the success rate of the charm is 0%. No creature would want to be controlled by others when they're in extreme pain! I understand that you want to help her, but the behavior of any female animal after pregnancy and childbirth is unpredictable. Any action, even if it's friendly, may cause her to attack wildly. More importantly, when we help her give birth, we're likely to cause her even more pain! She'll become even crazier in order to protect her baby. "
Zi hesitated for a moment before unwillingly replying.
"Are we just going to watch her die?"
Old Charlie observed for a moment.
"For now, the mother of the Cyclops must have been traumatized. It's very likely that she controlled the nutrition of the baby to make it too small in order to avoid risks during her last pregnancy. Although the delivery was safe, the baby died prematurely."
"The bad experience she had last time must have deeply traumatized her, so when she got pregnant this time, she gave birth to an extra-large fetus to make up for her mistake. Hmm, it looks like it's 50% larger than the normal size! It's a classic case of overcorrection. The probability of a normal delivery is zero. "
"But if the fetus survives, it'll definitely be very powerful, because the Cyclops' god, Mother Earth, favours the larvae very much. The abilities she bestows upon them are exceptionally powerful."
Sheyan hesitated for a moment.
"So, what do you mean?"
Old Charlie replied in his usual gentle but cold tone.
"If we let the mother die, we can gamble on the vitality of this oversized baby. It should be able to last longer than its mother. Then, when the animal opens its eyes, the first moving object it sees will be its mother. Therefore, taming it will be a piece of cake."
Zi glared at him coldly, but Old Charlie pretended not to see it. He bowed slightly and retreated.
The old man was like a cold machine. He could make the most advantageous but also the most ruthless choice. In fact, for a party leader, such a person was often needed.
Sheyan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
"It doesn't seem to be free to summon creatures using the Ukiyo-e. Powerful creatures even cost 50 achievement points and 200,000 utility points. Are you ready, Sanzi?"
Sanzi smiled bitterly.
"I've traded some achievement points. I've accumulated enough, but I'm still lacking some utility points."
Reef replied.
"There won't be a problem with the lack of utility points."
Sheyan said to Sanzi.
"You heard what Old Charlie said just now. The reason I captured this Cyclops was to create an opportunity for you. You're a professional when it comes to trapping creatures, so I'll leave the timing of the summoning to you," said Sheyan.
Sanzi said straightforwardly.
"Then I choose to summon the Mountain Cyclops immediately. Although I'm not confident in charming it, I'm confident in communicating with it. The Mountain Cyclops should be a creature with high intelligence. Although she'll be crazy and unreasonable for the sake of her young, I believe that she'll become rational for the sake of her young."
Sheyan nodded and solemnly said.
"Then we'll do as you say."
There was an excited look on Sanzi's face. He could not help but feel a slight excitement and desire. He pressed his hand on the Ukiyo-e. A faint white light suddenly appeared on his hand. The light rushed out like water and drowned the Ukiyo-e. Then, the light became even more turbulent and spread across the ground, the walls and the ceiling.
The group did not feel any discomfort in the white light, except that their vision was affected. When they regained their vision, Sheyan first found that they had arrived in a very small independent space.
This independent space looked very much like the plane he was in when he was promoted to a Growth Hunter. It was only about ten square kilometers in size. As for the terrain and environment, Sheyan was no stranger to it. It looked like the area where the Cyclops lived had been cut out and thrown here.
A kilometer in front of them was the Cyclops who was giving birth.
A series of notifications came from the nightmare imprint:
[You have used the summoning function of the Golden Side Mission's special item, the Ukiyo-e.]
[The creature you have summoned is a Tier 8 legendary creature, the Mountain Cyclops.]
[The creature is a hostile creature. Because of its high rank, it will have a favorable home environment. However, no other creatures will interfere with your actions.]
[The summoning cost is 50 achievement points and 200,000 utility points. The summoning duration is 6 minutes. Because the owner of the Ukiyo-e is an Imperial Colonel, the summoning duration is an additional 3 minutes.]
[Please hurry up and carry out your plan.]
After the notifications ended, Sheyan and the others stood on the mushroom rock plain again. Sheyan could not help but feel a little emotional when he saw this familiar place again. He had gone through fire and water on this plain. Not only did he have to fight against the extremely harsh environment, he also had to fight against the ferocious beasts, and most importantly, he had to fight against his own people who were not united at all! This could almost be said to be the most difficult battle he had ever fought.
Sanzi knew that he only had nine minutes, so he began to make the best use of his time. He caught an animal that looked like a roe deer out of nowhere and walked towards the Ukiyo-e with it in his hand.
Sheyan furrowed his brows and said.
"Why don't I go with you? If you go alone, you'll be on the verge of death if that big guy gets angry. "
Sanzi smiled confidently.
"Trust me, none of you are as charming as me. If you follow me, it'll be completely counterproductive."
Sheyan watched as Sanzi's thin body slowly walked forward. Only then did Sheyan realise that Sanzi was only 15 or 16 years old. He was still a teenager! He actually had to face such a risk!
Sheyan's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to call Sanzi back, but Sanzi's confident smile was still in his eyes. Sheyan's expression changed several times, then he sighed. He knew that if he really did that, Sanzi's confidence would collapse and he would be crippled.
Zi walked up to him and seemed to understand Sheyan's feelings. She held his hand and comforted him in a low voice.
"Sanzi is a Chosen. He's been blessed by the Realm. Although he looks young, he's been deeply influenced by you. He's definitely not a person who speaks carelessly. If he says he's confident, you can rest assured."
Sheyan sighed slightly, but he still held onto Zi's hand and refused to let go. Zi blushed in embarrassment and stomped on Sheyan's foot fiercely. Sheyan pretended not to feel anything. He would never give up an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Sanzi walked very slowly and stopped from time to time along the way. Towards the end, he deliberately bent his body and walked forward with his waist bent. It was very strange no matter how one looked at it. Old Charlie whispered to Sheyan at this moment.
"This way of walking is a common practice among Cyclopes when they enter each other's territory. It's difficult to activate the earth ability when you bend your body. The thing in your hand is a gift to show that you're passing through. The only concept of wealth for Cyclopes is whether it can be eaten or not. Judging from Mr. Sanzi's actions, he must have thought it through carefully before he carried out this series of actions."
Despite the extreme suffocation and pain, the Cyclops still noticed Sanzi walking slowly towards it. It immediately activated its ability and clenched its right hand. A large rock quickly took shape.
But Sanzi cleverly stopped at this moment. A series of murmurs came from his throat, and he kept raising the poor roe deer in his hand. Sheyan was surprised.
"Sanzi has learned the language of the Cyclops in such a short time?"
Following Sanzi's words and actions, the Cyclops hesitated for a moment, then slowly deactivated its ability. The lethal rock turned back into earth.
The little guy in front of it was not a threat at all. He had a peaceful aura about him, and the language and posture he used made the Cyclops feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Because the emotions of all living creatures would become more fragile in the torment of their illness, Sanzi successfully approached the Cyclops.
Sanzi slowly approached the Cyclops, but he still stood at a certain distance cautiously to avoid provoking the tormented Cyclops. He pointed at himself and introduced himself in the language of the Cyclops that he had memorized beforehand.
"I've gained the favour of the Earth God, and the soul of the Cyclops is in my body. Therefore, although I've lost the power to control the earth, I can still communicate with my people through my mind."
After saying that, Sanzi gave the Cyclops some time to digest his words, then he began to use his mental communication ability.
"How's your child now?"
Under the effect of the mental communication ability, Sanzi's voice suddenly appeared in the mind of the Cyclops! The Cyclops' already-wide eyes widened in surprise. After a moment of nervousness, another rock appeared in its thick three-fingered palm, but after looking at Sanzi in confusion for a while, it barely restrained its urge to throw the rock and placed it back on the ground.
