At the entrance of the cave.
Kyson felt the burning feeling on his skin and frowned.
Constitution stat doesn't just improve one's defense. What it really does is improve your physique, strengthening the body.
And with a strong body, your resistance to various things like heat and cold will also naturally increase.
With Kyson's constitution stat, normal heat and cold is no longer a thing that he needs to be bothered with.
Despite that, the heat that is being emitted from inside the cave is actually causing his skin to burn!
This is an abnormal amount of heat!
However, the more this is the case, the more expectant Kyson becomes.
Rubbing his hands together, he said with a light in his eyes, "Treasure, treasure, I'm coming for you treasure."
Enduring the prickling pain on his skin coming from the heat, Kyson strode forward with great dreams.
The further he goes inside the cave, the more painful the heat coming from his skin becomes.
On the other hand, Chicky, who's sitting on his arms, looks the same as usual.
In such a situation, Chicky's talent is still taking effect. Once again, Kyson can't help but feel envious of Chicky.
Anyway, after several minutes of walking, the whole wall of the cave is already fully bright red.
Kyson felt like all the water in his body was evaporating in this place.
"Ahhh… I want to go back already."
Kyson wants to submerge himself in water, to enjoy the coolness it can bring to him in this hellish environment.
"No, I can't go back empty-handed after enduring all of this. At least… at least let me see what it is that's causing all of this!"
The more Kyson thinks of it, the more unwilling he becomes. He doesn't want to back down just like that.
And so, Kyson continued to persevere.
After a while, he reached the end of the cave. At the same time, Kyson found the source of this incredible heat.
But when he finally saw it, his face couldn't help but turn ugly.
Kyson also realized that he was wrong to think that the source of heat could either be a powerful monster or a fire-element natural treasure.
Because it's not one of them, but both of them!
That's right. Right in front of Kyson, there's not just a fire-element natural treasure, but also a powerful monster!
The fire-element natural treasure is in the shape of a sunflower, standing upright at 2 meters tall, 15 meters away from Kyson.
And guarding it, a feathered monster, with blazing fire covering it, is standing there with its two four-toes feet.
Roughly 3 meters tall, with a wide body, its fierce appearance and the intimidating heat radiating around it can turn away most monsters who might covet the fire-element sunflower.
Taking a careful look at it, Kyson squints his eyes. That monster actually resembles a creature that he is greatly familiar with.
Lowering his head and looking at Chicky, then back at the monster, Kyson said,
"That… is a big chicken, isn't it?"
That's right. That feathered monster is none other than a chicken. Its size is too big in comparison to a normal one, but without a doubt, it was a chicken!
After realizing this, Kyson's eyes suddenly lit up. For no other reason than because it was a chicken!
Kyson still remembers the effect of his unique talent 'Lord of Chickens'. With it, his will is absolute in the face of all chickens!
This means one thing. Kyson doesn't need to worry about the monster guarding the treasure at all!
A wide smile crept up Kyson's lips and he stepped forward, moving closer to the fire-element sunflower and the chicken with confidence.
Because Kyson didn't deliberately hide his presence, the flaming chicken immediately noticed his appearance.
"Click, cluck?"
The chicken moved its body and faced Kyson, originally curious and alert at the sudden appearance of new people.
However, the moment its eyes landed on Kyson, the chicken's body stiffened, and its eyes widened.
The next second, it jumped up and stood up straight, facing Kyson. It was like a soldier that saw its senior officer.
Seeing that reaction, Kyson's eyes were filled with interest. He stared directly at the chicken's eyes and the chicken didn't dare to meet his gaze.
As they've said, the eyes are the window of the soul. Such words are not only applicable to humans, but also animals.
So, when Kyson looked into its eyes, he saw the respect and reverence that it holds towards him.
Kyson was happy after seeing this. This means that his talent 'Lord of Chickens' is really working.
It's not that he doubts its credibility. But seeing it working first hand is an entirely different matter.
Anyway, seeing the obedient chicken, Kyson beckons at it.
"Come over here."
Immediately, the chicken started moving towards him, and stopped right in front of him.
With a look of expectations on its face, the chicken actually faced Kyson.
Seeing this, Kyson made a decision.
'Time to tame another beast for me!'
Meeting such a chicken in a place like this could mean nothing else but fate to him.
If he doesn't tame it, Kyson will think back to it and look at himself as a fool.
With his hands raised and his palm facing the huge chicken, Kyson used his skill.
"[Tame]!"
Kyson felt the mana inside him being consumed and light bloomed from his palm, enveloping the chicken in front of him.
As the warm light covered the chicken, Kyson felt a connection between it and him gradually forming.
After a few seconds passed, the light subsided.
What appeared in front of Kyson is no longer the huge red chicken from before, but a small, normal size of it.
"Huh? What happened to you?"
Kyson looked at it in surprise. Wondering how its size suddenly changed.
Walking up to it, he picked it up and opened its character panel.
The next second, a surprised look covered Kyson's face.
