Chapter 150

This black lump was the same monster that accompanied Chloe and Anderson when they entered the Extreme Cold arena before.

Chloe finally managed to struggle out of the black lump's tentacles after tremendous effort.

The eyes on the black lump's body stared intently at Chloe, unwilling to take their gaze off her for even a moment.

Chloe felt uneasy being watched like that, and quietly hid behind Anderson.

Seeing this, the black lump let out an unsatisfied growl towards Anderson.

Anderson's expression remained unchanged as he stood his ground, firmly shielding Chloe's figure.

Seeing that the black lump was about to go berserk, Ren Yunying swiftly struck it with a powerful electric baton.

The sizzling sound of electricity rang out, and the flesh on the black lump immediately began to convulse. Soon, hundreds upon hundreds of eyes began to roll back simultaneously.

This scene was a bit eerie, to say the least.

Under the effect of the electric baton, this black lump quickly collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Immediately after, Ren Yunying waved her hand behind her, and several researchers quickly came over, dragging this black lump towards the laboratory.

It was only then that Chloe emerged from behind Anderson.

Her gaze fell upon the black lump being dragged away in the distance, before shifting back to Ren Yunying:

"Instructor, you called me here just to have me look at this monster, didn't you?"

Ren Yunying reached out and ruffled Chloe's hair. "Not just that, come with me."

With that, she led Chloe and the others deep into the laboratory.

This place was no different from the others, except for the abundance of experimental equipment.

On a white marble table, a pure white lion cub lay sprawled, its azure eyes appearing extremely gentle.

Upon seeing this cub, Chloe had a vague sense of familiarity:

"...Isn't this the Fantasy Species we captured from the desert arena?"

"Yes." Ren Yunying didn't deny it. She clapped her hands, and the lion cub's gaze immediately regained focus, snapping out of its dazed state.

Almost instantly, the lion cub shifted its attention to Chloe.

It was visibly growing excited.

It leapt off the table and into Chloe's embrace, its four soft paws stepping onto her chest as it stretched out its tongue, excitedly licking Chloe's face.

Caught off guard by its antics, Chloe was dazed for a moment before obediently tightening her hold to prevent the lion cub from falling.

Seeing this, Ren Yunying smiled. "Don't worry too much, this Fantasy Species is very sturdy. Even if thrown from hundreds of floors up, it wouldn't get hurt."

It began waving its tentacles excitedly, carefully stretching them out to touch Chloe.

Amidst the flurry of tentacles, Chloe remained unperturbed.

Following the researchers' guidance, she took a seat beside the black lump, locking eyes with its thousands of eyes as she coldly warned:

"Behave, or else..."

She shook the electric baton in her hand.

Unexpectedly, instead of being intimidated, this only seemed to excite the black lump further. Its tentacles thrashed about wildly, even striking several researchers and eliciting pained hisses.

Chloe grabbed one of its tentacles and twisted it forcefully in a threatening manner:

"Behave yourself."

The black lump blinked its eyes, seemingly understanding Chloe's intention. It slowly retracted all of its tentacles.

Only the one grasped in Chloe's hand remained extended.

It thought Chloe wanted to play.

Seeing the monster's mood had calmed somewhat, Ren Yunying breathed a sigh of relief and signaled the researchers to extract fluid from the monster's body.

As soon as the thick needle appeared, the monster immediately grew agitated, its tentacles twitching restlessly.

But before it could act, Chloe forcefully squeezed the tentacle clutched in her embrace.

Feeling the pain, the monster froze, glancing towards Chloe. Upon meeting her warning gaze, it hesitated for a moment before obediently calming down, no longer using its tentacles to attack the researchers.

Throughout the entire research process, with Chloe keeping watch, the monster remained very obedient, allowing the researchers to work on it unhindered.

After the experiment ended, Chloe gazed at the weakened monster, a strange feeling rising within her.

But before she could make sense of it, Ren Yunying came over and hugged her:

"Good girl, well done."

Chloe had her head patted, feeling a bit dazed.

She turned her head to look at the dejected monster, fell silent for a moment, then broke free from Ren Yunying's embrace and walked over to pat the monster's head:

"You did well too."

The monster froze, looking at Chloe with disbelief.

Chloe awkwardly yet soothingly patted it.

Sensing what she was doing, the monster's tentacles immediately began waving joyfully, emitting a "hissing" sound from its throat.

Watching its behavior, Chloe silently thought—

It's not too difficult to placate.
