…
Seeing the Scorching Chicken's panel, Kyson saw the vast difference compared to Chicky.
However, seeing the level of the Scorching Chicken, Kyson finds it understandable. At the same time, he fell into his own thoughts.
"Hmm, because of my unique talent I am capable of successfully taming this scorching chicken despite the wide level difference."
"This is something that other beast tamer could not do."
For a beast tamer, it is a necessary requirement that a monster that you want to tame obeys you. If not, at least it shouldn't be capable of resisting.
So, for most beast tamers, the norm is to beat up the monster until it can't resist anymore before taming it.
Take note that just because you beat a monster, doesn't mean they will stop resisting.
For a high level monster, they would rather die, than to submit to a lower level beat tamer.
So, Kyson's ability to tame higher level monsters is something really unique to him.
Thinking of how big of an advantage this is, Kyson smiled.
Dismissing the panel, Kyson turned his attention back to the scorching chicken.
"Since you're my tamed beast now, it's just right for me to give you a name."
The scorching chicken's eyes lit up when he heard Kyson's words. Clearly, it understood human words.
So, it obediently stood there, waiting, while Kyson was thinking hard about what to name it.
"Scorching chicken… scorch… Burned, no, no, no… blazing? That's too common. Hmm, what's a good name?"
Kyson's eyes move up and down, scanning the body of the scorching chicken, trying to come up with an appropriate name for it.
After a while, Kyson stopped and said, "Ah, I know."
With a serious look, he said to the scorching chicken, "From now on, your name will be Roast!"
"Hahaha, isn't that a good name? Looking at you, I can't stop thinking about some good traditional roasted chicken. So, Roast it is!"
Hearing the words coming from Kyson, the originally expectant look on the scorching chicken, now known as Roast, was replaced by despair.
It didn't expect that its new master would name it as such just because of the food.
Really? A roasted chicken? Isn't that an insult to me?!
Roast has a lot of complaints in its mind to Kyson's naming sense. But since Kyson is the Chicken Lord, Roast could do nothing but surrender to its fate.
Oblivious to Roast's emotional fluctuations, Kyson turned his attention to the fire-element sunflower behind Roast.
Suddenly, a curious thought came to Kyson and he asked, "Roast, I saw you earlier just standing around the sunflower. Why didn't you take it and consume it?"
His question snapped Roast back out of his own world.
"Cluck? Cluck Cluck Cluck!"
"Eh? Really? So it's still not mature, huh…"
Even though Roast can't speak the human language, Kyson can understand it thanks to the connection between a beast tamer and a tamed beast.
"Since it's not yet mature, we can do nothing but wait for now. How much time will it take until it fully matures?"
"Cluck!"
"10 more minutes, huh. Well, I can just use that time to rest. After we get this sunflower, we can directly go back to the city."
Saying that, he sat down on the ground and held the two chickens, Chicky and Roast, in his lap, and rested.
Probably because he tamed Roast, but Kyson doesn't feel the scorching heat as much as when he first came into this cave.
Thanks to that, he can rest easy while they wait for the sunflower to mature.
Time passed by slowly, and everything seems to be proceeding smoothly.
However, it was then that Kyson noticed a ruckus.
"Huh?"
The earth shook and Kyson felt the vibration of the ground below him.
Pausing for a moment, Kyson observed carefully and noticed that the commotion was coming in the direction of the cave entrance.
Frowning, Kyson said, "It seems that others have also come for the natural treasure."
"Chicky, Roast, let's go and welcome our 'visitors'."
Getting up, he called his two beasts and started walking out of the dungeon.
At the entrance of the cave, monsters started appearing one by one. Each of them exuded a powerful energy from their bodies.
By the time Kyson got there, roughly 18 monsters were already in place. All of their eyes were fixed at the cave entrance, showing their greedy look for the natural treasure.
Kyson's sudden appearance, coming from inside the cave, attracted the eyes of all the gathered monsters.
Feeling many gazes focusing on him, Kyson frowned. He felt a bit pressured in this kind of situation.
Because with just one look, he can already see that all of those who're here are powerful monsters with higher levels than him.
Well, he's just a level 3 adventurer after all. Almost every creature out there has a higher level than him.
But when Kyson caught the sight of Roast in the corner of his eyes, he gradually calmed down.
In the past, Kyson wouldn't dare confront enemies that are overly powerful than him as long as Chicky's defense was broken.
That is because even if Chicky can tank the damage temporarily, it doesn't mean that they can cause any sufficient damage to the enemy.
In the long run, they might just end up prolonging their suffering, leading to something worse, like death.
But now, with Roast in the party, things have changed. And that simply means that they now have a means to cause damage to the enemies.
And not just that, with Roast addition to the party, their combined constitution has already reached 204 points.
With those numbers, it will be hard for others to break Chicky's defense!
Now, they have an impenetrable defense and also a powerful attack!
