However, no one present could answer his questions. Zhou Jinze didn't understand what Saji was saying at all, and he was too lazy to listen. As for Qian Yuan, he was still a kid who couldn't even understand his hometown dialect very well.

Therefore, the humans, the cubs, and the monsters were not on the same wavelength.

Seeing that Zhou Jinze remained silent, Saji assumed he was feeling guilty and flew into a rage: "What right do you, a mere ant, have to be a follower of the master?!"

For a moment, Saji couldn't care less about Qianyuan and reached out to cut Zhou Jinze down with his sword. He couldn't tolerate that even a high-level monster couldn't win the master's favor, yet a human had taken the opportunity to steal the master's trust.

What gives him the right to be a devout believer who belongs entirely to his master and is at his mercy?!

Zhou Jinze completely saw Saji as a human trafficker who deserved to be struck by lightning, and the two rushed towards each other without hesitation, in a state of no return.

Qian Yuan was the one who was most frightened. As he watched the two collide at an extremely fast speed, he immediately recalled the painful memory of being sandwiched between Zhou Jinze and Bo Yuchuan and having to sever his own tentacles.

"Eee...ya! Ah!"

Qian Yuan tried to remind him while pushing Saji's chest, but Saji ignored him. He then turned and called out to Zhou Jinze.

Finally, seeing that the two were about to clash, Qianyuan could only rely on her instincts to fulfill her wish of separating them.

"Clap".

Zhou Jinze was the first to collapse to his knees, his legs giving way.

The mark Qian Yuan left on him showed its usefulness for the first time. One thought could lead to heaven or hell. As long as Qian Yuan had a thought, he could control Zhou Jinze and make him unable to get rid of him.

Compared to Saji, Qianyuan was much simpler and more direct. He simply wrapped his tentacles around Saji, allowing him to see his true form from his dream.

Saj collapsed to the ground with a thud, both sides injured.

It was rare for Qianyuan to use his power. Although it was not difficult to operate, for a cub that could not control its power, he directly shrunk to the smallest size, becoming an octopus seedling and landing on Saji's chest.

"Hmm..."

Qianyuan fell asleep instantly and began to snore softly.

"Captain Zhou!"

Seeing this, the researchers rushed forward, but even though they protected Zhou Jinze, they still dared not face this high-level monster head-on. They could only watch helplessly as the monster turned into a shadow and disappeared into the ground.

Along with the cubs.

Zhou Jinze looked up defiantly: "Give it back! Don't you dare run away!!!"

But no matter how much he shouted, Saji had already run away.

Sage returned to the chaos and lay there for a while before recovering, barely managing to stop trembling.

But he had just witnessed his master's unfathomable true nature, and was still in a daze, calling out to his surroundings, "Master?"

"No, I clearly sensed my master's presence..."

Saji looked left and right but couldn't find Qianyuan. Suddenly, he caught something falling off his body out of the corner of his eye. Saji instinctively reached out and caught a sleepy little octopus hatchling.

No, even if you looked at that figure up close, you'd see someone with crossed eyes.

"Owner……"

After a long pause, Saji stammered, "Master, why have you shrunk again?"

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

Octopus Seedling was half-asleep from the noise and started chirping and being grumpy. Saki was so startled that his hands trembled and he almost threw Chien out.

In the end, Saji was at a loss, stiffly holding Chiyori for a while as if she were a fragile object, before finally choosing to transform into her original form.

A three-headed wolfhound whose body was engulfed in flames without fire.

I feel more at ease with the original prototype...

As Saji thought this, he tried to hide the octopus hatchling under his belly, but Qianyuan was just a fragile little cub. She could cripple a monster with one punch, but she could also be blown away by someone else's sneeze.

Therefore, he simply couldn't stand the flames on Sage's body.

Saji: ...

Taking advantage of the absence of monsters around him, he deliberately jumped into the fog, rolled around, and rolled for a while, releasing his natural instincts to temporarily extinguish the flames on his body.

Then he walked over and held the baby octopus tightly in his arms.

Meanwhile, the other high-level monsters from the surrounding area gradually arrived.

A gloomy man with long hair covering his entire face appeared first. He looked at Saji curiously and said, "Hey, where's that dead dog? Didn't it bring its owner back?"

Saji said expressionlessly, "Is it possible that it's that dead dog?"

The gloomy man said in a flat tone, "Oh, you've lost your fire, I almost didn't recognize you."

Saji was speechless. How could they be so unfamiliar with each other? They saw each other all the time, and now that he was out of flame, they couldn't recognize him?! Besides, he was the only three-headed dog in the entire Chaos!

This guy is making fun of him!

When Saji got angry, his anger was about to flare up again, but the next second he remembered that his master was still there, so he forced himself to suppress his anger.

This is the first time a high-level monster has felt so humiliated.

"Go away, I don't have time to talk to you. The master is sleeping, and I'm guarding him. Get lost."

Upon hearing this, the gloomy man moved closer instead of backing away: "Where is the master? I can't see him. Could it be that you haven't been able to find the master at all?"

"How could that be?! But I just can't show it to you right now!"

"Why can't I see it? I think you're just lying. If the master finds out that you're using His name to offend Him like this, you can expect to be reduced to ashes."

Saji was busy arguing with the gloomy man and didn't notice that the octopus seedling had woken up and slowly crawled out from under Saji's belly.

He used all his strength to pull his octopus tentacles out from under Saji's belly, and then the sleepy little guy slid over Saji's body, down from Saji's ear, and stood in front of the two monsters.

One second Sage was fuming with rage, the next he was horrified: "Master, why are you up?!"

The gloomy man also saw Qianyuan. He was shocked that the master of chaos had turned into a cub, but he did not forget to quickly bow his head and kneel down. This was the fear engraved deep in their souls.

Seeing this, Saji finally felt relieved, and the majestic three-headed dog's tail wagged like a propeller.

"Master, even though you've shrunk, your heroic figure is still enough to intimidate the enemy!"

Saji lay on the ground, staring submissively at the dazed octopus fry, his mouth agape in excitement as he exhaled.

But in that instant, Qianyuan, who was completely disoriented, thought he had gone the wrong way. He immediately turned around and headed straight for Saji's mouth.

"Wait, wait a minute...!!!"

Saji could only watch helplessly as the octopus fry plunged headfirst into his mouth, its upper body wedged in while its lower body remained outside, its tentacles dangling listlessly, making it look as if Saji had devoured it whole.

Saji: No. I'm innocent!
